PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
------------------

THIS SUMMARY HIGHLIGHTS INFORMATION CONTAINED ELSEWHERE IN THIS PROSPECTUS.
THIS SUMMARY DOES NOT CONTAIN ALL OF THE INFORMATION YOU SHOULD CONSIDER BEFORE
BUYING SHARES IN THIS OFFERING. YOU SHOULD READ THE ENTIRE PROSPECTUS
CAREFULLY, INCLUDING "RISK FACTORS" AND OUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS BEFORE MAKING
AN INVESTMENT DECISION ABOUT OUR COMPANY.

GENERAL

SpaceDev is engaged in the conception, design, development, manufacture,
integration and operation of space technology systems, products and services.
SpaceDev is currently focused on the commercial and military development of
low-cost microsatellites, nanosatellites and related subsystems, hybrid rocket
propulsion for space, launch and human flight vehicles as well as associated
engineering and technical services, which are provided primarily to government
agencies, and specifically the Department of Defense. SpaceDev's products and
solutions are sold, mainly on a project-basis, directly to these customers and
include sophisticated micro- and nano-satellites, hybrid rocket-based launch
vehicles, maneuvering and orbital transfer vehicles and safe sub-orbital and
orbital hybrid rocket-based propulsion systems. Although SpaceDev believes
there will be a commercial market for its microsatellite and nanosatellite
products and services in the future, virtually all of its current work is for
branches of the United States military. SpaceDev is also developing commercial
hybrid rocket motors for use in small launch vehicles, targets and sounding
rockets, and small, high-performance space vehicles and subsystems for
commercial customers.

Starsys Research Corporation was acquired by SpaceDev on January 31,
2006 in a tax-free forward triangular merger, renamed Starsys, Inc., and is now
a wholly-owned subsidiary of SpaceDev. Starsys is engaged in the design and
manufacture of mechanical and electromechanical subsystems and components for
spacecraft. Starsys' subsystems enable critical spacecraft functions such as
pointing solar arrays and communication antennas and restraining, deploying and
actuating moving spacecraft components. Starsys manufactures a wide range of
products that include bi-axis gimbals, flat plate gimbals, solar array pointing
mechanisms, deployable booms, separation systems, thermal louvers, actuators,
restraint devices and cover systems. Starsys' products are sold both as
"off-the-shelf" catalog products, which represent previously qualified devices
with spaceflight history, and as custom systems that are developed for specific
applications. Starsys' products are typically sold directly to spacecraft
manufacturers. Starsys' customer base is segregated into three major segments:
(1) domestic and international commercial spacecraft (communication and imaging
satellites), (2) civil spacecraft (NASA) that are primarily scientific in nature
and (3) defense spacecraft that support the United States' military capability.
Starsys also offers products to non-space customers, including aerospace,
maritime, and industrial customers.

Our common stock trades on the OTC Bulletin Board under the trading symbol
"SPDV.OB."

RISK FACTORS

You should consider the following factors and other information in this
prospectus relating to our business and prospects before deciding to invest in
the securities. This investment involves a high degree of risk, and you should
purchase the securities only if you can afford to lose the entire sum invested
in these securities. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our
business, financial condition or operating results could be materially adversely
affected. In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and
you may lose all or part of your investment. Additional risks and uncertainties,
including those that are not yet identified or that we currently believe are
immaterial, may also adversely affect our business, financial condition or
operating results. You should also refer to the other information in this
prospectus, including our consolidated financial statements and the related
notes.

The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ
materially from those contained in forward-looking statements made in this
prospectus and presented elsewhere by management from time to time.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMPANY

SPACEDEV AND STARSYS HAVE EXPERIENCED LOSSES FROM OPERATIONS IN
PRIOR PERIODS AND HAVE BEEN REQUIRED TO SEEK ADDITIONAL FINANCING TO SUPPORT
THEIR BUSINESSES.

In prior years, both SpaceDev and Starsys have experienced operating losses
and, in some periods, revenues from operations have not been sufficient to fund
their respective operations. On a pro forma basis, the combined company would
have had a net loss from operations of approximately $5.0 million for the
year ended December 31, 2004 and $2.9 million for the year ended December 31,
2005, assuming the merger had occurred on January 1, 2004. The
success of the combined company's business depends upon our ability to generate
revenue from existing contracts, to execute programs cost-effectively, to
attract and complete successfully additional government and commercial
contracts, and additional financing. The likelihood of our success must
be considered in light of the expenses, difficulties and delays frequently
encountered in connection with developing businesses, those historically
encountered by us, and the competitive environment in which we operate.

IF WE ARE UNABLE TO RAISE CAPITAL, WE MAY BE UNABLE TO FUND OPERATING CASH
SHORTFALLS AND FUTURE GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES.

Our future capital requirements will depend upon many factors, including
but not limited to sales and marketing efforts, the development of new products
and services, the successful completion of existing projects, possible future
strategic acquisitions, the progress of our research and development efforts,
and the status of competitive products and services. As of March 31, 2006 and
2005, we had a working capital of $2,646,002, and $5,126,732, respectively, and
an accumulated deficit of $14,710,427 and $14,846,800, respectively. As of those
dates, we had $1,142,595 and $5,412,949, respectively, in cash and cash
equivalents and $5,769,883 and $620,048, respectively, of accounts receivable,
net of allowance for doubtful accounts.

In the past, both SpaceDev and Starsys have relied upon cash from financing
activities to fund part of the cash requirements of their respective businesses.
We may need additional financing to fund our projected operations. Additional
financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. Any
financing may cause additional dilution to existing shareholders. Any debt
financing or other issuance of securities senior to common stock likely will
include financial and other covenants that will restrict our operating
flexibility and our ability to pay dividends to shareholders. SpaceDev has not
paid dividends on its common stock in the past and does not anticipate paying
dividends on its common stock in the foreseeable future.

SOME OF OUR GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS ARE STAGED AND WE CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT
ALL STAGES OF THE CONTRACTS WILL BE AWARDED TO US.

Some of our government contracts are phased contracts in which the customer
may determine to terminate the contract between phases for any reason.
Accordingly, the entire contract amount may not be realized by us. In the
event that subsequent phases of some of our government contracts, including but
not limited to the Missile Defense Agency contract, are not awarded to us, it
could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of
operations.

PAGE 7

WE PROVIDE OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES PRIMARILY THROUGH FIXED-PRICE AND
COST PLUS FIXED FEE CONTRACTS. STARSYS HAS EXPERIENCED SIGNIFICANT LOSSES ON
FIXED-PRICE CONTRACTS. COST OVERRUNS MAY RESULT IN FURTHER LOSSES AND, IF
SIGNIFICANT, COULD IMPAIR OUR LIQUIDITY POSITION.

Under fixed-price contracts, our customers pay us for work performed and
products shipped without adjustment for the costs we incur in the process.
Therefore, we generally bear all or a significant portion of the risk of losses
as a result of increased costs on these contracts. Starsys has experienced
significant cost overruns on development projects under its fixed-price
contracts, resulting in estimated losses on uncompleted contracts of $2.7
million for Starsys' fiscal 2004, and an additional $2.5 million for the twelve
months ended December 31, 2005. As of December 31, 2005, based on a formal
evaluation process, Starsys reserved approximately $1.5 million for potential
risks on these remaining development projects. Fixed-price contracts may
provide for sharing of unexpected costs incurred or savings realized within
specified limits and may provide for adjustments in price depending on actual
contract performance other than costs. We bear the entire risk of cost overruns
in excess of the negotiated maximum amount of unexpected costs to be shared. Any
significant overruns in the future could materially impair our liquidity and
operations.

Under cost plus fixed fee contracts, we are reimbursed for allowable
incurred costs plus a fee, which may be fixed or variable. There is no
guarantee as to the amount of fee we will be awarded under a cost plus fixed fee
contract with a variable fee. The price on a cost plus fixed fee reimbursable
contract is based on allowable costs incurred, but generally is subject to
contract funding limitations. Therefore, we could bear the amount of costs in
excess of the funding limitation specified in the contract, and we may not be
able to recover those cost overruns.

IF WE FAIL TO INTEGRATE OUR OPERATIONS EFFECTIVELY, THE COMBINATION OF
SPACEDEV AND STARSYS WILL NOT REALIZE ALL THE POTENTIAL BENEFITS OF THE MERGER
AND MAY BE COUNTER PRODUCTIVE.

The integration of SpaceDev and Starsys is ongoing and may be time
consuming and expensive and may disrupt the combined company's operations if it
is not completed in a timely and efficient manner. If this integration effort is
not successful, the combined company's results of operations could be harmed.
In addition, the combined company may not achieve anticipated synergies or other
benefits of the merger. The combined company may encounter difficulties, costs
and delays involved in integrating their operations, including but not limited
to the following:

- failure to successfully manage relationships with customers and other
important relationships;

- failure of customers to accept new services or to continue using the
products and services of the combined company;

- difficulties in successfully integrating the management teams and employees
of the two companies;

- potential incompatibility of business cultures;

- challenges encountered in managing larger, more geographically dispersed
operations;

- the loss of key employees;

- diversion of the attention of management from other ongoing business
concerns;

- potential incompatibilities of processes, technologies and systems; and,

- potential difficulties integrating and harmonizing financial reporting
systems.

If the combined company's operations do not meet the expectations of
existing customers of either company, these customers may reduce the amount of
business or cease doing business with the combined company altogether, which
would harm the results of operations and financial condition of the combined
company.

If the anticipated benefits of the merger are not realized or do not meet
the expectations of financial or industry analysts, the market price of SpaceDev
common stock may decline. This could occur if, among other reasons:

- the integration of the two companies is unsuccessful;

- the combined company does not achieve the expected benefits of the merger
as quickly as anticipated or the costs of or operational difficulties
arising from the merger are greater than anticipated;

- the combined company's financial results after the merger are not
consistent with the expectations of management or financial or industry
analysts;

- the anticipated operating and product synergies of the merger are not
realized; or

- the combined company experiences the loss of significant customers or
employees as a result of the merger.

IF WE FAIL TO INTEGRATE STARSYS, INC., OUR NEW WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARY, OUR
CASH FLOW AND OPERATING RESULTS COULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED.

We recently acquired Starsys, Inc., as a subsidiary of SpaceDev. Starsys
which was insolvent at the time of the merger and we have begun making
post-acquisition cash investments into Starsys. As stated previously, SpaceDev
and Starsys have experienced losses from operations in prior periods, requiring
that we seek additional financing to support our businesses. Our operating
plans assume revenue and cash growth from SpaceDev and Starsys. If we are
unable to effectively integrate our new subsidiary, or if we are unable to
create positive cash flow within SpaceDev or Starsys, our cash flow and
operating results could be adversely affected.

PAGE 8

A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF OUR NET SALES ARE GENERATED FROM GOVERNMENT
CONTRACTS, WHICH MAKES US SUSCEPTIBLE TO THE UNCERTAINTIES INHERENT IN THE
GOVERNMENT BUDGETING PROCESS. IN ADDITION, MANY OF OUR CONTRACTS CAN BE
TERMINATED BY THE CUSTOMER.

Our concentration of government work makes us susceptible to government
budget cuts and policy changes, which may impact the award of new contracts or
future phases of existing contracts. Government budgets (both in general and
as to space and defense projects) are subject to the prevailing political
climate, which is subject to change at any time. Additionally, awarded contracts
could be altered or terminated prior to the time we recognize our projected
revenue. Many contracts are awarded in phases where future phases are not
guaranteed to us. In addition, obtaining contracts and subcontracts from
government agencies is challenging, and contracts often include provisions that
are not standard in private commercial transactions. For example, government
contracts may:

- include provisions that allow the government agency to terminate the
contract without penalty under some circumstances;

- be subject to purchasing decisions of agencies that are subject to
political influence;

- contain onerous procurement procedures; and

- be subject to cancellation if government funding becomes unavailable.

Securing government contracts can be a protracted process involving
competitive bidding. In many cases, unsuccessful bidders may challenge contract
awards, which can lead to increased costs, delays and possible loss of the
contract for the winning bidder.

SPACEDEV COMMON SHAREHOLDERS WILL EXPERIENCE DILUTION IF OUR PREFERRED
STOCK IS CONVERTED OR OUR OUTSTANDING WARRANTS AND OPTIONS ARE EXERCISED.

As of May 1, 2006, SpaceDev is obligated to issue 9,776,177 shares of
SpaceDev common stock if all of SpaceDev's outstanding warrants are exercised
and shares of preferred stock converted. In addition, as of May 1, 2006,
SpaceDev has outstanding stock options to purchase an aggregate of 11,012,142
shares of SpaceDev common stock, of which 10,312,142 are currently vested. The
total number of shares, issuable upon the exercise or conversion of currently
vested warrants, options and preferred stock (20,088,319 shares) represents
approximately 70% of SpaceDev's issued and outstanding shares of common stock as
of May 1, 2006.

OUR HISTORIC SPACEDEV BUSINESS' LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY AND LACK
OF EXPERIENCE IN OUR NEW OR PROPOSED LINES OF BUSINESS MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO
PREDICT OUR FUTURE PROSPECTS.

We have a limited operating history and, as a result, our historical
financial information is of limited value in projecting our future success in
these markets. We launched our first microsatellite, CHIPSat, in January 2003
and, in June, September and October, 2004, our hybrid rocket technology was
first utilized in connection with SpaceShipOne. We hope to sell an
increasing percentage of our products and services in commercial markets, but
virtually all of our historical work has been from government contracts and
government-related work. We recently announced our intention to enter the launch
services market by providing a microsat bus, integration services, and a launch
vehicle as a package. We will be dependent on the performance of Space
Exploration Technologies, a small company with limited operating history which
has not yet had a successful launch, for our first launch vehicle. Our
microsatellites, nanosatellites and launch services may not achieve market
acceptance, and our future prospects are therefore difficult to evaluate.

WE MAY NOT SUCCESSFULLY OR TIMELY DEVELOP PRODUCTS.

Many of our products and technologies are currently under various
stages of development. Further development and testing of our products and
technologies will be required to prove additional performance capability beyond
current levels and to confirm commercial viability. Additionally, the final cost
of development cannot be determined until development is complete. Our ongoing
and future product development will depend, in part, on the ability to timely
complete our projects within estimated cost parameters and ultimately deploy the
product in a cost-effective manner. In addition, Starsys has contracted to
execute development programs under fixed price contracts. Under these contracts,
even if our costs begin to exceed the amount to be paid by the customer under
the contract, we are required to complete the contract without receiving any
additional payments from the customer. It is difficult to predict accurately the
total cost of executing these programs. If the costs to complete these programs
significantly exceed the payments from the customers under the contracts, our
results of operations will be harmed.

THE MARKETPLACE FOR OUR TECHNOLOGY AND PRODUCTS IS UNCERTAIN.

The demand for our technology, products and services is uncertain and we
may not obtain a sufficient market share to sustain our business or to increase
profitability. Our business plan assumes that near-term revenues will be
generated largely from government contracts for microsatellites and
electromechanical systems for spacecraft with a long-term commercial market
developing for private manned and unmanned space exploration. Microsatellites
and commercial space exploration are still relatively new concepts, and it is
difficult to predict accurately the ultimate size of the market. In addition, we
are developing new product areas such as large deployable structures, solar
array drives, slip rings and precision scanning assemblies for spacecraft. Many
of our products and services are new and unproven, and the true level of
customer demand is uncertain. Lack of significant market acceptance of our
products and services, delays in such acceptance, or failure of our markets to
develop or grow could negatively affect our business, financial condition, and
results of operations.

OUR OPERATING RESULTS COULD FLUCTUATE ON A QUARTERLY AND ANNUAL
BASIS, WHICH COULD CAUSE OUR STOCK PRICE TO FLUCTUATE OR DECLINE.

Our operating results may fluctuate from quarter-to-quarter
and year-to-year for a variety of reasons, many of which are beyond our control.
Factors that could affect our quarterly and annual operating results include
those listed below as well as others listed in this "Risk Factors" section:

- we may not be awarded all stages of existing or future contracts;

- the timing of new technological advances and product announcements or
introductions by us and our competitors;

- changes in the terms of our arrangements with customers or suppliers;

- our current reliance on a few customers for a significant portion of our
net sales;

PAGE 9

- the failure of our key suppliers to perform as expected;

- general political conditions that could affect spending for the products
that we offer;

- delays or failures to satisfy our obligations under our contracts on a
timely basis;

- the failure of our products to successfully launch or operate;

- the uncertain market for our technology and products;

- the availability and cost of raw materials and components for our
products; and

- the potential loss of key personnel.

As a result of these factors, period-to-period comparisons of our operating
results may not be meaningful, and you should not rely on them as an indication
of our future performance. In addition, our operating results may fall below the
expectations of public market analysts or investors. In this event, our stock
price could decline significantly.

WE FACE SIGNIFICANT COMPETITION AND MANY OF OUR COMPETITORS HAVE GREATER
RESOURCES THAN WE DO.

We face significant competition for our government and commercial
contracts. Many of our competitors have greater resources than we do and may be
able to devote greater resources than us to research and development and
marketing. Given the sophistication inherent in our operations, larger
competitors may have a significant advantage and may be able to more efficiently
adapt and implement technological advances. In addition, larger and
financially stronger corporations have advantages over us in obtaining space and
defense contracts due to their superior marketing (lobbying) resources and the
perception that they may be a better choice than smaller companies for
mission-critical projects because of the higher likelihood that they will be
able to continue in business for the necessary future period. Furthermore,
it is possible that other domestic or foreign companies or governments, some
with greater experience in the space industry and many with greater financial
resources than we possess, could seek to produce products or services that
compete with our products or services, including new mechanisms and
electromechanical subsystems using new technology which could render our
products less viable. Some of our foreign competitors currently benefit from,
and others may benefit in the future from, subsidies from or other protective
measures implemented by their home countries.

OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES MAY NOT FUNCTION WELL UNDER CERTAIN
CONDITIONS.

Most of our products are technologically advanced and tested, but
sometimes are not space qualified for performance under demanding operating
conditions. Our products may not be successfully launched or operated, or
perform as intended. Like most organizations that have launched satellite
programs, we have experienced and in the future will likely experience
some product and service failures, cost overruns, schedule delays, and other
problems in connection with our products. Our products and services are and will
continue to be subject to significant technological change and innovation. Our
success will generally depend on our ability to continue to conceive, design,
manufacture and market new products and services on a cost-effective and timely
basis. We anticipate that we will incur significant expenses in the design and
initial manufacture and marketing of new products and services.

LAUNCH FAILURES COULD HAVE SERIOUS ADVERSE EFFECTS ON OUR BUSINESS.

Launch failures or delays of our microsatellites could have serious
adverse effects on our business. Microsatellite launches are subject to
significant risks, the realization of which can cause disabling damage to or
total loss of a microsatellite as well as damage to our reputation among
actual and potential customers. Delays in the launch could also adversely
affect our net sales. Delays could be caused by a number of factors, including:

- designing, constructing, integrating, or testing the microsatellite,
microsatellite components, or related ground systems;

- delays in receiving the license necessary to operate the microsatellite
systems;

- delays in obtaining the customer's payload;

PAGE 10

- delays related to the launch vehicle;

- weather; and

- other events beyond our control.

Delays and the perception of potential delay could negatively affect our
marketing efforts and limit our ability to obtain new contracts and projects.

OUR U.S. GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS ARE SUBJECT TO AUDITS THAT COULD RESULT IN A
MATERIAL ADVERSE AFFECT ON OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS IF
A MATERIAL ADJUSTMENT IS REQUIRED.

The accuracy and appropriateness of our direct and indirect costs and
expenses under our contracts with the U.S. government are subject to extensive
regulation and audit by the Defense Contract Audit Agency, by other agencies of
the U.S. government or prime contractors. These entities have the right to
audit our cost estimates and/or allowable cost allocations with respect to
certain contracts. From time to time we may in the future be required to make
adjustments and reimbursements as a result of these audits. Responding to
governmental audits, inquiries or investigations may involve significant expense
and divert management attention. Also, an adverse finding in any such audit,
inquiry or investigation could involve contract termination, suspension, fines,
injunctions or other sanctions.

OUR SUCCESS DEPENDS ON OUR ABILITY TO RETAIN OUR KEY PERSONNEL. THE
JANUARY 2006 IMPLEMENTATION OF FAS 123(R) AND THE RELATED DECEMBER 2005
ACCELERATION OF VESTING ALL OUTSTANDING STOCK OPTIONS REDUCED THE EFFECTIVENESS
OF THE STOCK OPTIONS AS A RETENTION DEVICE.

Our success will be dependent upon the efforts of key members of our
management and engineering team, including our chairman and chief technology
officer, James W. Benson, our chief executive officer and vice-chairman, Mark N.
Sirangelo, our president and chief financial officer, Richard B. Slansky, our
vice president of engineering, Frank Macklin, our vice president of programs and
new business development, Randall K. Simpson, the managing director of
SpaceDev, Scott Tibbitts, the president of Starsys, Inc. Robert
Vacek, and certain other SpaceDev personnel. The loss of any of these
persons, or other key employees, including personnel with security clearances
required for classified work and highly skilled technicians and engineers, could
have a material adverse effect on us. Our future success is likely to depend
substantially on our continued ability to attract and retain highly qualified
personnel. The competition for such personnel is intense, and our inability to
attract and retain such personnel could have a material adverse effect on us. At
this time we do not maintain key man life insurance on any of our key personnel.

One device we have historically used to enhance our ability to retain
and incentivize key personnel is the grant of stock options which are subject to
vesting. If the employee leaves us before the vesting period has been completed,
he must forfeit a portion of the stock options. In December 2005, in order to
avoid adverse financial reporting effects in future years under FAS 123(R), a
new accounting standard, we eliminated all future vesting requirements on all of
our 8,031,036 stock options then outstanding in the hands of employees,
officers, and directors.

OUR GROWTH MAY NOT BE MANAGEABLE AND OUR BUSINESS COULD SUFFER AS A RESULT.

Even if we are successful in obtaining new business, failure to manage the
growth could adversely affect our operations. We may experience extended periods
of very rapid growth, which could place a significant strain on our management,
operating, financial and other resources. Our future performance will depend in
part on our ability to manage growth effectively. We must develop management
information systems, including operating, financial, and accounting systems,
improve project management systems and processes and expand, train, and
manage our workforce to keep pace with growth. Our inability to manage
growth effectively could negatively affect results of operations and the ability
to meet obligations as they come due.

PAGE 11

WE MAY NOT ADDRESS SUCCESSFULLY THE PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED IN CONNECTION WITH
ANY POTENTIAL FUTURE ACQUISITIONS.

We expect to consider opportunities to acquire or make investments in other
technologies, products and businesses that could enhance our capabilities,
complement our current products or expand the breadth of our markets or customer
base. We have limited experience in acquiring other businesses and
technologies; the Starsys acquisition was our first major acquisition.
Potential and completed acquisitions and strategic investments involve numerous
risks, including:

- problems assimilating the purchased technologies, products or business
operations;

- problems maintaining uniform standards, procedures, controls and policies;

- unanticipated costs associated with the acquisition;

- diversion of management's attention from our core business;

- adverse effects on existing business relationships with suppliers and
customers;

- risks associated with entering new markets in which we have no or limited
prior experience;

- potential loss of key employees of acquired businesses; and

- increased legal and accounting costs as a result of the newly adopted
rules and regulations related to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

IF OUR KEY SUPPLIERS FAIL TO PERFORM AS EXPECTED, OUR REPUTATION MAY BE
DAMAGED. WE MAY EXPERIENCE DELAYS, LOSE CUSTOMERS AND EXPERIENCE DECLINES IN
REVENUES, PROFITABILITY, AND CASH FLOW.

We purchase a significant percentage of our product components and
subassemblies from third parties . If our subcontractors fail to perform
as expected or encounter financial difficulties, we may have difficulty
replacing them or identifying qualified replacements in a timely or cost
effective manner. As a result, we may experience performance delays that could
result in additional program costs, contract termination for default or damage
to our customer relationships which may cause our revenues, profitability and
cash flow to decline. In addition, negative publicity from any failure of one of
our products or sub-systems as a result of a supplier failure could damage our
reputation and prevent us from winning new contracts.

OUR LIMITED INSURANCE MAY NOT COVER ALL RISKS INHERENT IN OUR OPERATIONS.

We may find it difficult to insure certain risks involved in our
operations, including our launch vehicle and satellite operations, accidental
damage to high value customer hardware during the manufacturing process and
damages to customer spacecraft caused by our products not working to
specification. Insurance market conditions or factors outside of our control at
the time insurance is purchased could cause premiums to be significantly higher
than current estimates. Additionally, the U.S. Department of State has published
regulations which could significantly affect the ability of brokers and
underwriters to place insurance for certain launches. These factors could cause
other terms to be significantly less favorable than those currently available,
may result in limits on amounts of coverage that we can obtain, or may prevent
us from obtaining insurance at all. Furthermore, proceeds from insurance may not
be sufficient to cover losses.

SEVERAL YEARS OF LOW DEMAND AND OVERCAPACITY IN THE COMMERCIAL SATELLITE
MARKET HAVE RESULTED IN SLOW GROWTH IN DEMAND FOR SPACE PRODUCTS.

The commercial satellite market has experienced pricing pressures due to
excess capacity in the telecommunications industry and weakened demand over the
past several years. Satellite demand, and thus subsystem and component orders,
have also been impacted by the business difficulties encountered by the
commercial satellite services industry. This has resulted in a reduction in the

PAGE 12

total market size in the near term. While the market appears to be making a
recovery, growth in the demand for our products may be limited.

OUR COMPETITIVE POSITION WILL BE SERIOUSLY DAMAGED IF WE CANNOT PROTECT
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS IN OUR TECHNOLOGY.

Our success, in part, depends on our ability to obtain and enforce
intellectual property protection for our technology. We rely on a combination of
patents, trade secrets and contracts to establish and protect our proprietary
rights in our technology. However, we may not be able to prevent
misappropriation of our intellectual property, and the agreements we enter into
may not be enforceable. In addition, effective intellectual property
protection may be unavailable or limited in some foreign countries.

There is no guarantee any patent will be issued on any patent
application that we have filed or may file. Further, any patent that we may
obtain will expire, and it is possible that it may be challenged, invalidated or
circumvented. If we do not secure and maintain patent protection for our
technology and products, our competitive position will be significantly harmed
because it will be much easier for competitors to sell products similar to ours.
Alternatively, a competitor may independently develop or patent technologies
that are substantially equivalent to or superior to our technology. In
addition, it is possible that any patent that we may obtain may not provide
adequate protection and our competitive position could be significantly
harmed.

As we expand our product line or develop new uses for our products, these
products or uses may be outside the scope of our current patent applications,
issued patents, and other intellectual property rights. In addition, if we
develop new products or enhancements to existing products, there is no guarantee
that we will be able to obtain patents to protect them. Even if we do receive
patents for our existing or new products, these patents may not provide
meaningful protection. In some countries outside of the United States,
effective patent protection is not available. Moreover, some countries
that do allow registration of patents do not provide meaningful redress for
violations of patents. As a result, protecting intellectual property in these
countries is difficult and our competitors may successfully sell products in
those countries that have functions and features that infringe on our
intellectual property.

We may initiate claims or litigation against third parties in the future
for infringement of our proprietary rights or to determine the scope and
validity of our proprietary rights or the proprietary rights of competitors.
These claims could result in costly litigation and divert the efforts of our
technical and management personnel. As a result, our operating results could
suffer and our financial condition could be harmed, regardless of the outcome
of the case.

CLAIMS BY OTHER COMPANIES THAT WE INFRINGE THEIR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OR
THAT PATENTS ON WHICH WE RELY ARE INVALID COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS.

From time to time, companies may assert patent, copyright and other
intellectual proprietary rights against our products or products using our
technologies or other technologies used in our industry. These claims may
result in our involvement in litigation. We may not prevail in such litigation
given the complex technical issues and inherent uncertainties in intellectual
property litigation. If any of our products were found to infringe on another
company's intellectual property rights, we could be required to redesign our
products or license such rights and/or pay damages or other compensation to such
other company. If we were unable to redesign our products or license such
intellectual property rights used in our products, we could be prohibited from
making and selling such products.

Other companies or entities also may commence actions seeking to establish
the invalidity of our patents. In the event that one or more of our patents are
challenged, a court may invalidate the patent or determine that the patent is
not enforceable, which could harm our competitive position. If any of our key
patents are invalidated, or if the scope of the claims in any of these patents
is limited by court decision, we could be prevented from licensing the
invalidated or limited portion of such patents. Even if such a patent challenge
is not successful, it could be expensive and time consuming to address, divert
management attention from our business and harm our reputation.

PAGE 13

WE ARE SUBJECT TO SUBSTANTIAL REGULATION, SOME OF WHICH PROHIBITS US
FROM SELLIING INTERNATIONALLY. ANY FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH EXISTING
REGULATIONS, OR INCREASED LEVELS OF REGULATION, COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE
EFFECT ON US.

Our business activities are subject to substantial regulation by various
agencies and departments of the United States government and, in certain
circumstances, the governments of other countries. Several government agencies,
including NASA and the U.S. Air Force, maintain Export Control Offices to ensure
that any disclosure of scientific and technical information complies with the
Export Administration Regulations and the International Traffic in Arms
Regulations or, "ITAR." Exports of our products, services and technical
information require either Technical Assistance Agreements, manufacturing
license agreements or licenses from the U.S. Department of State depending on
the level of technology being transferred. This includes recently published
regulations restricting the ability of U.S.-based companies to complete offshore
launches, or to export certain satellite components and technical data to any
country outside the United States. The export of information with respect to
ground-based sensors, detectors, high-speed computers, and national security and
missile technology items are controlled by the Department of Commerce.
Failure to comply with the ITAR and/or the Commerce Department regulations
may subject guilty parties to fines of up to $1 million and/or up to 10 years
imprisonment per violation.

In addition, the space industry has specific regulations with which we must
comply. Command and telemetry frequency assignments for space missions are
regulated internationally by the International Telecommunications Union, which
we refer to as the ITU. In the United States, the Federal Communications
Commission, which we refer to as the FCC, and the National Telecommunications
Information Agency, which we refer to as NTIA, regulate command and telemetry
frequency assignments. All launch vehicles that are launched from a launch site
in the United States must pass certain launch range safety regulations that are
administered by the U.S. Air Force. In addition, all commercial space launches
that we would perform require a license from the Department of Transportation.
Satellites that are launched must obtain approvals for command and frequency
assignments. For international approvals, the FCC and NTIA obtain these
approvals from the ITU. These regulations have been in place for a number of
years to cover the large number of non-government commercial space missions that
have been launched and put into orbit in the last 15 to 20 years. Any commercial
deep space mission that we would perform would be subject to these regulations.

We are also subject to laws and regulations regulating the formation,
administration and performance of, and accounting for, U.S. government
contracts. With respect to such contracts, any failure to comply with applicable
laws could result in contract termination, price or fee reductions, penalties,
suspension or debarment from contracting with the U.S. government. We are also
required to obtain permits, licenses, and other authorizations under federal,
state, local and foreign laws and regulations relating to the environment. Our
failure to comply with applicable law or government regulations, including any
of the above-mentioned regulations, could have serious adverse effects on our
business.

SPACEDEV'S STOCK PRICE HAS BEEN AND MAY CONTINUE TO BE VOLATILE, WHICH
COULD RESULT IN SUBSTANTIAL LOSSES FOR INVESTORS PURCHASING SHARES OF OUR
COMMON STOCK.

The market prices of securities of technology-based companies like ours
particularly in industries (also like ours) where substantial value is ascribed
to a hope for future increase in the size of the total market, are often highly
volatile. The market price of SpaceDev common stock has fluctuated significantly
in the past. Our market price may continue to exhibit significant fluctuations
in response to a variety of factors, many of which are beyond our control,
including:

- deviations in our results of operations from estimates;

- changes in estimates of our financial performance;

- changes in our markets, including decreased government spending or the
entry of new competitors;

- our inability to obtain financing necessary to operate our business and
consummate the merger;

PAGE 14

- changes in technology;

- potential loss of key personnel;

- short selling;

- changes in market valuations of similar companies and stock market price;

- the Starsys merger; and

- volume fluctuations generally, including re-sales by former Starsys
stockholders or by Laurus .

OUR NET OPERATING LOSS CARRYFORWARDS MAY BE SUBJECT TO AN ANNUAL LIMITATION
ON THEIR UTILIZATION, WHICH MAY INCREASE OUR TAXES AND DECREASE NET INCOME AND
CASH FLOWS.

We had a net deferred tax asset of approximately $2,484,000 and $2,075,000
at March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, which consisted primarily of the
income tax benefits from net operating loss and capital loss carryforwards,
amortization of deferred gain on sale of building and research and development
credits. Deferred income taxes represent temporary differences in recognizing
certain income and expense items for financial and tax reporting purposes. A
valuation allowance has been recorded to fully offset the deferred tax asset as
it is more likely than not that the assets will not be utilized. The valuation
allowance increased from $2,075,000 at March 31, 2005 to $2,484,000 at March 31,
2006.

We had federal and state tax net operating loss and capital loss
carryforwards of approximately $4,214,000 and $2,316,000 at March 31, 2006 and
2005, respectively. The federal tax loss carryforwards will expire in 2023 and
the state tax loss carryforwards will expire in 2013, unless previously
utilized.

CHANGES IN STOCK OPTION ACCOUNTING RULES MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR REPORTED
OPERATING RESULTS PREPARED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING
PRINCIPLES, OUR STOCK PRICE AND OUR EFFORTS IN RECRUITING ADDITIONAL EMPLOYEES.

Technology companies, in general, and our company in particular, depend
upon and use broad based employee stock option programs to hire, incent and
retain employees in a competitive marketplace. Through fiscal 2005, we did not
recognize compensation expense for stock options issued to employees or
directors, except in limited cases involving modifications of stock options, and
we instead disclosed in the notes to our financial statements information about
what such charges would be if they were expensed. An accounting standard setting
body has adopted a new accounting standard that will require us to record
equity-based compensation expense for stock options and employee stock purchase
plan rights granted to employees based on the fair value of the equity
instrument at the time of grant. We are now recording these expenses beginning
with the first quarter of 2006. The change in accounting rules will lead to a
decrease in reported earnings, if we have earnings, or an increased loss, if we
do not have earnings. This may negatively impact our future stock price. In
addition, this change in accounting rules could impact our ability to utilize
broad based employee stock plans to reward employees and could result in a
competitive disadvantage to us in the employee marketplace.

THE CONCENTRATION OF OWNERSHIP OF OUR COMMON STOCK GIVES A FEW INDIVIDUALS
SIGNIFICANT CONTROL OVER IMPORTANT POLICY DECISIONS AND COULD DELAY OR PREVENT
CHANGES IN CONTROL.

As of May 1, 2006, our executive officers and directors together
beneficially owned approximately 50.27% of the issued and outstanding
shares of our common stock. As a result, these persons could have the ability to
exert significant influence over matters concerning us, including the election
of directors, changes in the size and composition of the board of directors, and
mergers and other business combinations involving us. In addition, through
control of the board of directors and voting power, our officers and directors
may be able to control certain decisions, including decisions regarding the
qualification and appointment of officers, dividend policy, access to capital
(including borrowing from third-party lenders and the issuance of additional
equity securities), and the acquisition or disposition of our assets. In
addition, the concentration of voting power in the hands of those individuals
could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of our
company, even if the change in control would benefit our shareholders. A
perception in the investment community of an anti-takeover environment at our
company could cause investors to value our stock lower than in the absence of
such a perception.

WE HAVE NOT PAID DIVIDENDS ON OUR COMMON STOCK IN THE PAST AND DO NOT
ANTICIPATE PAYING DIVIDENDS ON OUR COMMON STOCK IN THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.

We have not paid common stock dividends since our inception and
do not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future. Our current
business plan provides for the reinvestment of earnings in an effort to complete
development of our technologies and products, with the goal of increasing sales
and long-term profitability and value. In addition, the revolving credit
facility with Laurus Master Fund Ltd. and the terms of our preferred stock
currently restrict, and any other credit or borrowing arrangements that we may
enter into may in the future restrict or limit, our ability to pay common stock
dividends to our shareholders.

OUR EXPANSION INTO OTHER NEW LINES OF BUSINESS MAY DIVERT MANAGEMENT'S
ATTENTION FROM OUR EXISTING OPERATIONS AND PROVE TO BE TOO COSTLY.

Our current business plan contemplates the migration of SpaceDev's
technology from projects into products for microsatellites and hybrid rocket
motors over the next several years. In the meantime, we are investigating other
applications of our technology and other markets for our technologies and
prospective products. Our expansion into new lines of business may be difficult
for us to manage because they may involve different disciplines and require
different expertise than our core business. Consequently, this expansion may
divert management's time and attention away from our core business, and we may
need to incur significant expenses in order to develop the expertise, and
reputation we desire. Any revenues generated by new lines of business may not
be significant enough to offset the expenditures required to enter such
business, or provide the anticipated return on investment.

SPACEDEV COMMON SHAREHOLDERS WILL EXPERIENCE DILUTION IF OUR PREFERRED
STOCK IS CONVERTED OR OUR OUTSTANDING WARRANTS AND OPTIONS ARE EXERCISED.

PAGE 15

11,012,142 shares of SpaceDev common stock, of which 10,312,142 are
currently vested . The total number of shares, issuable upon the exercise of
currently vested warrants, options and preferred stock (20,088,319 shares)
represents approximately 70% of SpaceDev's issued and outstanding shares of
common stock as of May 1, 2006.

FUTURE SALES OF OUR COMMON STOCK MAY DEPRESS THE PRICE OF THE COMMON STOCK.

Sales by SpaceDev's current and future shareholders of a substantial number
of shares, including sales by the Starsys shareholders following the merger, or
the expectation that such sales may occur, could significantly reduce the market
price of our common stock. As described in the immediately preceding risk
factor, SpaceDev has a significant number of shares that are issuable upon
exercise of options and warrants or upon conversion of shares of preferred
stock. All of these shares are either registered with the SEC and may be sold
without restriction (except for volume limitations applicable to our officers,
directors and significant shareholders with respect to their option shares, and
contractual lockup restrictions obtained from some of the Starsys shareholders)
or have registration rights requiring us to register these shares with the SEC.
In the future, we may issue additional shares of common stock, convertible
securities, options and warrants.

Technology companies, in general, and our company in particular, depend
upon and use broad based employee stock option programs to hire, incentivize and
retain employees in a competitive marketplace. Currently, we do not recognize
compensation expense for stock options issued to employees or directors, except
in limited cases involving modifications of stock options, and we instead
disclose in the notes to our financial statements information about what such
charges would be if they were expensed. An accounting standard setting body has
recently adopted a new accounting standard that will require us to record
equity-based compensation expense for stock options and employee stock purchase
plan rights granted to employees based on the fair value of the equity
instrument at the time of grant. We are required to record these expenses
beginning with the first quarter of the year ending December 31, 2006. The
change in accounting rules will lead to a decrease in reported earnings, if we
have earnings, or an increased loss, if we do not have earnings. This may
negatively impact our future stock price. In addition, this change in accounting
rules could impact our ability to utilize broad based employee stock plans to
reward employees and could result in a competitive disadvantage to us in the
employee marketplace.

WE ARE SUBJECT TO NEW CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND INTERNAL CONTROL REPORTING
REQUIREMENTS, AND OUR COSTS RELATED TO COMPLIANCE WITH, OR OUR FAILURE TO COMPLY
WITH EXISTING AND FUTURE REQUIREMENTS COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS.

We face new corporate governance requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
of 2002, as well as new rules and regulations subsequently adopted by the SEC,
the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and and any stock exchange on
which our stock may be listed in the future . These laws, rules and
regulations continue to evolve and may become increasingly stringent in the
future. In particular, we will be required to include management and independent
registered public accounting firm reports on internal controls as part of our
annual report for the year ending December 31, 2007 pursuant to Section 404 of
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We are in the process of evaluating our control
structure and processes to help ensure that we will be able to comply
with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We cannot assure you that we will be
able to fully comply with these laws, rules and regulations that address
corporate governance, internal control reporting and similar matters. Failure to
comply with these laws, rules and regulations could materially adversely affect
our reputation, financial condition and the value of our securities.

THE TERMS OF OUR OUTSTANDING SHARES OF PREFERRED STOCK, AND ANY
SHARES OF PREFERRED STOCK ISSUED IN THE FUTURE, MAY REDUCE THE VALUE OF YOUR
COMMON STOCK.

We are is authorized to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock
in one or more series. We currently have 248,460 outstanding shares of its
Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and 5,150 shares of its Series D-1
Preferred Stock. Our board of directors may determine the terms of future
preferred stock offerings without further action by our shareholders. If we
issue additional preferred stock, it could affect your rights or reduce the

PAGE 16

value of your common stock. In particular, specific rights granted to future
holders of preferred stock could be used to restrict our ability to merge with
or sell our assets to a third party. These terms may include voting rights,
preferences as to dividends and liquidation, conversion and redemption rights,
and sinking fund provisions. Our Series C Preferred Stock and Series
D-1 Preferred Stock rank senior to our common stock with respect to
dividends and liquidation and have other important preferred rights .

BECAUSE SPACEDEV COMMON STOCK IS SUBJECT TO THE SEC'S PENNY STOCK RULES,
BROKER-DEALERS MAY EXPERIENCE DIFFICULTY IN COMPLETING CUSTOMER TRANSACTIONS AND
TRADING ACTIVITY IN SPACEDEV SECURITIES MAY BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED.

Transactions in SpaceDev common stock are currently subject to the "penny
stock" rules promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Under these
rules, broker-dealers who recommend SpaceDev securities to persons other than
institutional accredited investors must:

- make a special written suitability determination for the purchaser;

- receive the purchaser's written agreement to a transaction prior to sale;

- provide the purchaser with risk disclosure documents which identify
certain risks associated with investing in "penny stocks" and which describe the
market for these "penny stocks" as well as a purchaser's legal remedies; and

- obtain a signed and dated acknowledgment from the purchaser demonstrating
that the purchaser has actually received the required risk disclosure document
before a transaction in a "penny stock" can be completed.

As a result of these rules, broker-dealers may find it difficult to
effectuate customer transactions and trading activity in SpaceDev securities may
be adversely affected. As a result, the market price of SpaceDev securities may
be depressed, and you may find it more difficult to sell our securities.

RISKS RELATED TO THE MERGER WITH STARSYS RESEARCH CORPORATION

IF SPACEDEV AND STARSYS FAIL TO INTEGRATE THEIR OPERATIONS EFFECTIVELY, THE
COMBINED COMPANY WILL NOT REALIZE ALL THE POTENTIAL BENEFITS OF THE MERGER.

The integration of SpaceDev and Starsys is ongoing and may be time
consuming and expensive and may disrupt the combined company's operations if it
is not completed in a timely and efficient manner. If this integration effort is
not successful, the combined company's results of operations could be harmed,
employee morale could decline, key employees could leave, customers could cancel
existing orders or choose not to place new ones and the combined company could

PAGE 17

have difficulty entering into new contracts with customers and complying with
regulatory requirements. In addition, the combined company may not achieve
anticipated synergies or other benefits of the merger. The combined company may
encounter difficulties, costs and delays involved in integrating their
operations, including the following:

- failure to successfully manage relationships with customers and other
important relationships;

- failure of customers to accept new services or to continue using the
products and services of the combined company;

- difficulties in successfully integrating the management teams and
employees of the two companies;

- challenges encountered in managing larger, more geographically dispersed
operations;

- the loss of key employees;

- diversion of the attention of management from other ongoing business
concerns;

- potential incompatibilities of technologies and systems;

- potential difficulties integrating and harmonizing financial reporting
systems; and

- potential incompatibility of business cultures.

PAGE 18

- the integration of the two companies is unsuccessful;

- the combined company does not achieve the expected benefits of the merger
as quickly as anticipated or the costs of or operational difficulties arising
from the merger are greater than anticipated;

- the combined company's financial results after the merger are not
consistent with the expectations of management or financial or industry
analysts;

- the anticipated operating and product synergies of the merger are not
realized; or

- the combined company experiences the loss of significant customers or
employees as a result of the merger.

ACQUISITION OF SECURITIES BY SELLING SHAREHOLDERS

OCTOBER 2005 PRIVATE PLACEMENT

On October 31, 2005, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, which
we refer to as the 2005 purchase agreement, with Laurus Master Fund, Ltd.
pursuant to which we issued and sold 2,032,520 shares of our common stock to
Laurus for an aggregate purchase price of $2,500,000 or $1.23 per share. The
price per share represented 80% of the 20-day volume weighted average price of
our common stock through October 28, 2005. We also issued to Laurus a warrant to
purchase up to 450,000 shares at $1.93 per share. The warrant is exercisable
from October 31, 2005 until October 31, 2010.

JANUARY 2006 PRIVATE PLACEMENT

On January 11, 2006, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, which
we refer to as the 2006 purchase agreement, with a limited number of
institutional accredited investors, led by Omicron Capital and also including
Laurus. On January 13, 2006, we issued and sold to these investors 5,150
shares of our Series D-1 Amortizing Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock, par
value $0.0001 per share, which we refer to as Series D-1 Preferred Stock, under
the 2006 purchase agreement for an aggregate purchase price of $5,150,000, or
$1,000 per share. We also issued various warrants to these investors under the
2006 purchase agreement, as described below.

Series D-1 Preferred Stock. The 2006 purchase agreement contemplates
the authorization and issuance by SpaceDev of numerous series of preferred
stock, all of which are substantially similar to the Series D-1 Preferred Stock.
We refer to each series individually as Series D-X Preferred Stock, where X
represents a sequential number, and generically as Series D Preferred Stock. The
relative rights, preferences, limitations and other terms of the series of
Series D-1 Preferred Stock are described below under the caption
"Description of Capital Stock - Series D-1 Preferred Stock" below.

Additional Investment Option. Under the 2006 purchase agreement, from
February 15, 2006, which we refer to as the effective date, until the
one-year anniversary of that date, if (1) on any trading day during such period
the volume weighted average price of our common stock for each of the 20 trading
days immediately prior to such date exceeds $1.63 and (2) the average daily
trading volume of our common stock exceeds $100,000 on each of those days, then
we have the option, subject to a number of additional conditions, to sell to the
investors up to 2,000 "units" for an aggregate purchase price of up to
$2,000,000 (or a lesser amount to the extent the preferred stock warrants issued
at the initial closing of the financing, which are described below, have been
exercised to purchase these units). Each "unit" consists of one share of Series
D Preferred Stock and a common stock warrant, which common stock warrants
entitle the holders to purchase up to an aggregate of 440,829 shares of our
common stock at an exercise price of $1.51 and otherwise have the same terms as
the warrants described in the following paragraph. We refer to this option as
the additional investment option.

Common Stock Warrants. Certain warrants that we issued to the investors at
the closing entitle the investors to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,135,138
shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.51 per share. The warrants
are exercisable for five years following the date of grant. The warrants feature
a net exercise provision, which enables the holder to choose to exercise the
warrant without paying cash by surrendering shares subject to the warrant with a
market value equal to the exercise price. However, this right is available only
if a registration statement or prospectus covering the shares subject to the
warrant is not available at any time after one year from the date of grant. The
warrants also have anti-dilution provisions reducing the warrant exercise price
if we issue equity securities (other than in specified exempt transactions) at
an effective price below the warrant exercise price to such lower exercise
price. We refer to these warrants as the common stock warrants.

Preferred Stock Unit Warrants. We also issued certain other warrants
to the investors at the closing, which we refer to as the preferred stock
unit warrants. These warrants entitle the holder to purchase an aggregate
number of 2,000 "units," which are identical to the "units" described above, at
an exercise price of $1,000 per unit. The preferred stock unit warrants are
exercisable from the effective date until the one-year anniversary of that date.
If any units subject to the preferred stock unit warrants remain unsold
after (1) their expiration date and (2) the exercise of the additional

PAGE 21

investment option described in the preceding paragraph, if applicable, and any
holder of a preferred stock unit warrant issued in the financing has
exercised the warrant in full, then the preferred stock unit warrant
grants that holder the right to purchase a proportionate share of the unsold
units.

Prior Relationships with Investors. Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. is the
investor under the 2005 purchase agreement and is one of the investors

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The selling shareholders and any of their pledgees, assignees and
successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares
of common stock on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board ("OTCBB") or any other
stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in
private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A
selling shareholder may use any one or more of the following methods when
selling shares:

- ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-
dealer solicits purchasers;

- block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as
agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to
facilitate the transaction;

- purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer
for its account;

- an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable
exchange;

- privately negotiated transactions;

- settlement of short sales entered into after the effective date of the
registration statement of which this prospectus is a part;

- broker-dealers may agree with the selling shareholders to sell a specified
number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

- a combination of any such methods of sale;

- through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging
transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise; or

- any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The selling shareholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the
Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

Broker-dealers engaged by the selling shareholders may arrange for other
brokers dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions
or discounts from the selling shareholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as
agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be
negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the
case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission
in compliance with NASDR Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a
markup or markdown in compliance with NASDR IM-2440.

In connection with the sale of the common stock or interests therein, the
selling shareholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or
other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the
common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling
shareholders may also sell shares of the common stock short and deliver these
securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common
stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling
shareholders may also enter into option or other transactions with
broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more
derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other
financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such
broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this
prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

The selling shareholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved
in selling the shares may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of
the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any
commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the
resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting
commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each selling shareholder has
informed us that it does not have any written or oral agreement or
understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the common
stock. In no event shall any broker-dealer receive fees, commissions and markups
which, in the aggregate, would exceed eight percent (8%).

PAGE 26

We are required to pay certain fees and expenses incident to the
registration of the shares of common stock listed offered in this prospectus.
We have agreed to indemnify the selling shareholders against certain losses,
claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

Because selling shareholders may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the
meaning of the Securities Act, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery
requirements of the Securities Act. In addition, any securities covered by this
prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act
may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus. Each selling
shareholder has advised us that it has not entered into any written or oral
agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriter or broker-dealer
regarding the sale of the resale shares. There is no underwriter or
coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the resale
shares by the selling shareholders.

We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the
date on which the shares of common stock included in the registration statement
in which this prospectus is included, which we refer to as the resale shares,
may be resold by the selling shareholders without registration and without
regard to any volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities
Act or (ii) all of the resale shares have been sold pursuant to the prospectus
or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The
resale shares will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or
dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in
certain states, the resale shares may not be sold unless they have been
registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from
the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person
engaged in the distribution of the resale shares may not simultaneously engage
in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable
restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the
distribution. In addition, the selling shareholders will be subject to
applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and
sales of shares of the common stock by the selling shareholders or any other
person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling
shareholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this
prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale.

DIVIDENDS

We have never paid a cash dividend on our common stock.
Payment of common stock dividends is at the discretion of the board of
directors. The board of directors plans to retain earnings, if any, for
operations and does not intend to pay common stock dividends in the foreseeable
future.

We accrued dividends on our Series C Cumulative Convertible Preferred
Stock from August 25, 2004 through December 31, 2004 of approximately $61,000
and approximately $171,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005. The original
accrued dividends of $61,000 became payable in January 2005 and were converted
into shares of SpaceDev common stock at a conversion rate of $1.54 per share.
Approximately $114,000 of the 2005 accrued dividends were satisfied by the
issuance of our common stock during the twelve months ended December
31, 2005. We also paid dividends of approximately $98,900 on our Series C
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock on April 1, 2006 . Payment of future
dividends on SpaceDev's Series C Preferred Stock may be in cash or
shares of common stock, provided that the payment of cash dividends on the
Series C Preferred Stock is prohibited in the event of our noncompliance
with our obligations under the certificate of designations for any series of
Series D Preferred Stock.

We first issued shares of Series D-1 Preferred Stock on January 13,
2006. We paid our first dividends of approximately $98,700 for the Series D-1

OVERVIEW

Historic SpaceDev Business

We are engaged in the conception, design, development, manufacture,
integration and operation of space technology systems, products and services.
Our historic SpaceDev operations are currently focused on the commercial and
military development of low-cost microsatellites, nanosatellites and related
subsystems, hybrid rocket propulsion for space, launch and human flight vehicles
as well as associated engineering and technical services which are provided
primarily to government agencies, and specifically the Department of Defense.
Our products and solutions are sold, mainly on a project-basis, directly to
these customers and include sophisticated micro- and nanosatellites, hybrid
rocket-based launch vehicles, maneuvering and orbital transfer vehicles and safe
sub-orbital and orbital hybrid rocket-based propulsion systems. Although we
believe there will be a commercial market for our microsatellite and
nanosatellite products and services in the future, virtually all of our current
work is for branches of the United States military. We are also developing
commercial hybrid rocket motors for use in small launch vehicles, targets and
sounding rockets, and small, high-performance space vehicles and subsystems for
commercial customers.

We acquired Starsys Research Corporation on January 31, 2006 in a tax-free
forward triangular merger, renamed the company Starsys, Inc., and now hold it as
a wholly-owned subsidiary of SpaceDev. Starsys is engaged in the design and
manufacture of mechanical and electromechanical subsystems and components for
spacecraft. Starsys' subsystems enable critical spacecraft functions such as
pointing solar arrays and communication antennas and restraining, deploying and
actuating moving spacecraft components. Starsys manufactures a wide range of
products that include bi-axis gimbals, flat plate gimbals, solar array pointing
mechanisms, deployable booms, separation systems, thermal louvers, actuators,
restraint devices and cover systems. Starsys' products are sold both as
"off-the-shelf" catalog products, which represent previously qualified devices
with spaceflight history, and as custom systems that are developed for specific
applications. Starsys' products are typically sold directly to spacecraft
manufacturers. Starsys' customer base is segregated into three major segments:

PAGE 28

(1) domestic and international commercial spacecraft (communication and imaging
satellites), (2) civil spacecraft (NASA) that are primarily scientific in nature
and (3) defense spacecraft that support the United States' military capability.
Starsys also offers products to non-space customers, including aerospace,
maritime, and industrial customers.

Starsys' engineering and manufacturing capabilities position the company to
provide both mechanical and electromechanical subsystems for spacecraft.
Starsys' strategy is to identify opportunities to develop products from custom
mechanical and electromechanical subsystems. To extend the product life cycle,
Starsys has developed and expanded a "product platforms" business model. Product
platforms are subsystems for which non-recurring and development engineering
have been completed and for which there is continued customer demand. Starsys'
product offerings currently include High Output Paraffin ("HOP") actuators,
hinges, battery bypass switches, thermal louvers, bi-axial gimbals and solar
array drives, among others. The product life cycle for this type of product
within the space industry is approximately 15 years.

The acquisition of Starsys fundamentally changed our profile. Starsys is a
mature operating company with 2005 revenues of approximately $18 million and
2005 losses of approximately $3.4 million. We believe there are numerous
potential synergies between the historic SpaceDev business, and Starsys'
business, including but not limited to providing SpaceDev with a production
capability as its technologies migrate from advanced systems to products, access
to quality facilities and a strong market of aerospace engineers, a
diversification of customers and revenues, and the ability to bid on larger and
more vertically integrated programs and projects.

Our historic SpaceDev business approach is to provide smaller spacecraft -
generally 250 kg (550 pounds) mass and less - and cleaner, safer hybrid
propulsion systems to commercial, government, university and limited
international customers. We are developing smaller spacecraft and miniaturized
subsystems using proven, lower cost, high-quality off-the-shelf components. Our
space products are modular and reproducible, which allows us to create
affordable space solutions for our customers. By utilizing our innovative
technology and experience, and space-qualifying commercial industry-standard
hardware, software and interfaces, we provide increased reliability with reduced
costs and risks.

We have been awarded, have successfully concluded or are successfully
concluding contracts from such esteemed government, university and commercial
customers as the Air Force Research Laboratory, Boeing, the California Space
Authority, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, NASA's Jet Propulsion
Laboratory, Lockheed Martin, Lunar Enterprise Corporation, Malin Space Science
Systems, the Missile Defense Agency (formerly the "Ballistic Missile Defense
Organization"), the National Reconnaissance Office, Scaled Composites and the
University of California at Berkeley via NASA.

During the first three months of 2006, 85% of our net sales were generated
from direct government contracts, 7% was generated from government-related work
through subcontracts with others, and 8% was generated from commercial
contracts. For the same three month period in 2005, approximately 95% of our net
sales were generated by government or government-related work. We will continue
to seek both government and commercial business and anticipate that net sales
from government sources will continue to represent in excess of 80% of our net
sales for the next several years. Currently, we are focusing on the domestic
United States government market, which we believe is only about one-half of the
global government market for our technology, products and services. Although we
are interested in exploring increased international revenue and contract
opportunities, we are restricted by export control regulations, including
International Traffic in Arms Regulations, which may limit our ability to
develop market opportunities outside the United States on some of our products.

At this time, over 70% of our forecasted sales for 2006 are under contract
or near contract award. We may not be able to win enough new business to
achieve our targeted growth projection or to maintain a positive cash flow
position. During the first three months of 2006 we submitted approximately
twenty-five bids for government or commercial programs ranging from $25,000 to
$350 million and continued our work with the United States Congress to identify
directed funding for our programs.

PAGE 29

In order to perform the Missile Defense Agency contract (described below)
on schedule and successfully execute other existing and new business
opportunities, we must substantially increase our staff and hire new engineers
or subcontract the work to third parties. We are actively seeking to hire
spacecraft and propulsion engineers, and we are investigating various
partnership arrangements to increase resource availability.

SELECTION OF SIGNIFICANT CONTRACTS

On July 18, 2005, we were awarded a subcontract to provide scientific,
engineering, development and programmatic support to the development and
demonstration of innovative SSA (space situational awareness) nanosatellite
(<15kg) spacecraft. SSA is the ability to search, identify and monitor
spacecrafts for the purpose of obtaining space superiority. The subcontract
covers the conceptual/preliminary phase of development and includes all aspects
of potential systems from the platforms and associated payloads to the links and
nodes and ground support. The cost plus fixed fee subcontract resulted in
revenues of approximately $120,000. We completed this subcontract in December
2005. In January 2006, we submitted a proposal for the next-phase subcontract
and, in March 2006, we were awarded the subcontract in the amount of
approximately $1.2 million, and began work on this phase.

On February 28, 2006, we were awarded two important Boom Technology
contracts for advance research and development of a self-deployed articulated
boom for approximately $950,000 and a jack screw deployed boom for approximately
$1.5 million by the Air Force Research Laboratory. AFRL placed these contracts
with Starsys which will leverage the significant technical talent and advances
Starsys engineers have already made in this critical space technology.

On April 1, 2006, we were awarded the third task order on a five-year,
cost-plus-fixed fee indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract for up to
$43,362,271 to conduct a microsatellite distributed sensing experiment in
support of the Advanced Systems Deputate of the Missile Defense Agency, which
contract was originally awarded on March 31, 2004. The microsatellite
distributed sensing experiment is now intended to analyze, design, develop,
fabricate, integrate, test, operate and support a networked cluster of three
formation-flying boost phase and midcourse tracking microsatellites to support
national missile defense. The milestone-based, multiyear, multiphase contract
had an effective start date of March 1, 2004. This effort is being accomplished
in a phased approach. The first phase, or "Task Order," for approximately $1.1
million was completed on September 30, 2004 and resulted in a general mission
and microsatellite design. The second Task Order for approximately $8.3 million
was awarded in October 2004 and was originally expected to be completed by
January 2006 but was extended at the request of the Missile Defense Agency, and
subsequently completed on March 31, 2006. The second Task Order resulted in a
detailed mission and microsatellite design, as exemplified by a successful
Critical Design Review in March 2006. In addition to the three networked
microsat under our second Task Order, the $43 million contract also envisioned
an option for a second three microsats using laser communication technology. We
were informed in 2005 that the Missile Defense Agency had re-routed the laser
communications experiment to another program and that they would not be
exercising their option for the additional microsats at this time; however, the
contract vehicle remained at $43 million and left open the opportunity for some
other purchase to take its place. We estimate that the second cluster would
have represented approximately $10 million of the $43 million contract, and have
reduced our current backorder accordingly. We believe the remaining unbilled
contract backlog amount of approximately $25 million to be secure. The third
Task Order was awarded on April 1, 2006 for a total of $1,547,266 and will run
through May 31, 2006. We expect either a modification to the third Task Order
or a fourth Task Order to be awarded by the Missile Defense Agency before the
end of May 2006, which is expected to fund the program through the end of the
government fiscal year. We expect continued modifications to the current phase
throughout 2006 and 2007.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Please refer to the consolidated financial statements, which are a part of
this report, for further information regarding the results of operations. Due to
our January 2006 acquisition of Starsys, all 2006 -vs.- 2005 comparisons are of
limited meaningfulness and usefulness.

THREE-MONTHS ENDING MARCH 31, 2006 -VS.- THREE-MONTHS ENDING MARCH 31, 2005

During the three-months ending March 31, 2006, we had net sales of
approximately $7,175,000 as compared to net sales of approximately $1,807,000
for the same period in 2005. Sales increased primarily due to our acquisition
of Starsys on January 31, 2006 which has generated revenues of approximately
$4.3 million, as well as the further work on our existing government contracts
of approximately $2.9 million, particularly our contract with the Missile
Defense Agency which generated revenues in excess of approximately $2.4 million.
For the three months ended March 31, 2006, revenue from government and
government related work was approximately $6,489,000 and revenue from commercial
customers was approximately $686,000. Our government customers include but are
not limited to the Missile Defense Agency, the Air Force Research Laboratory,
NASA, and the U.S. Army. Our government related work customers include but are
not limited to General Dynamics, Northrop Grumman and Raytheon. Commercial
customers include, Lockheed Martin and Sumitomo. Revenue for the three-months
ended March 31, 2005 primarily represented $1,444,000 of work on the second Task
Order for the Missile Defense Agency contract. Ongoing Small Business Innovation
Research contracts with the Air Force Research Laboratory represented sales of
approximately $310,000 in the three-months ending March 31, 2005.

For the three-months ended March 31, 2006, we had costs of sales (direct
and allocated costs associated with individual contracts) of approximately
$5,265,000 or 73.5% of net sales, as compared to approximately $1,397,000, or
77.3% of net sales, during the same period in 2005. The increase in cost of
sales and the improved gross margin percentage were both due to the higher
margin contracts and products sold by Starsys. We continue to focus efforts on
managing our growth including but not limited to recruiting new talented
engineers, developing and acquiring project management skills and creating or
expanding systems to assist in the efficient and effective management of our
projects.

We experienced an increase of approximately $1,612,000 in operating
expenses from approximately $344,000, or 19.1% of net sales, for the
three-months ending March 31, 2005 to approximately $1,956,000, or 27.3% of net
sales, for the three-months ending March 31, 2006. Operating expenses include
general and administrative expenses, research and development expenses,
marketing and sales expenses, and amortization expense for stock options under
FASB 123(R).

- General and administrative expenses increased approximately $949,000 from
approximately $191,000, or 10.6% of net sales, for the three-months ending
March 31, 2005 to approximately $1,140,000, or 15.9% of net sales, for the
same three month period in 2006. This increase is attributed mainly to the
assumption of general and administrative costs from Starsys and the
addition of our new Chief Executive Officer. We do expect to recognize some
cost saving and efficiencies as the companies eliminate redundancies in
certain general and administrative functions.

- Research and development expenses increased during the first quarter of
2006, from approximately $8,000, or 0.1% of net sales, for the three-months
ending March 31, 2005, to approximately $82,000, or 1.1% of net sales,
during the same period in 2006. The total dollar value increased by
approximately $74,000, mainly due to a shift in cost categorization, as our
Chief Executive Officer became our Chief Technology Officer. We have begun
an effort to focus a limited amount of our resources on internal IR&D
efforts.

PAGE 31

- Marketing and sales expenses increased during the first quarter of 2006,
from approximately $145,000, or 8.0% of net sales, for the three-months
ending March 31, 2005, to approximately $644,000, or 9.0% of net sales,
during the same period in 2006. The total dollar increase of approximately
$499,000 was mainly due to our decision to bid on certain large proposals
in January and February 2006 as well as absorbing a larger marketing and
sales organization as part of the merger with Starsys.

- Our stock option expense is based on a calculation using the minimum value
method as prescribed by FAS 123(R), otherwise known as the Black-Scholes
method. Under this method, we used a risk-free interest rate at the date of
grant, an expected volatility, an expected dividend yield and an expected
life of the options to determine the fair value of options granted. The
risk-free interest rate was estimated at 4.0%, expected volatility was
86.7%, the dividend yield was assumed to be zero, and the expected life of
the options was assumed to be three years based on the average vesting
period of options granted. The total expense for the three months ended
March 31, 2006 was $90,701 as compared to no expense during the same period
in 2005, as we adopted FAS 123(R) on January 1, 2006.

Non-operating expense (income) consisted of interest expense, non-cash debt
discount expense and deferred gain on the sale of our building, as well as other
loan fees and expenses. Non-operating expenses decreased to the point that we
recorded non-operating income beginning in 2005.

Interest expense for the three-months ending March 31, 2006 and 2005 was
insignificant as we incurred no interest expense on our revolving credit
facility, which had a zero balance for the three-months ending March 31, 2006
and 2005. We began generating interest income in late 2004, and the first
quarters of 2006 and 2005, we recognized approximately $34,000 and $8,000,
respectively in interest income due to our cash management practices.

We recognized approximately $29,000 and $29,000 of the deferred gain on the
sale of the building during the three-months ending March 31, 2006 and 2005,
respectively, and we will continue to amortize the remaining deferred gain of
approximately $801,000 into non-operating income over the remainder of the
lease.

During the three-months ending March 31, 2006, we generated net income of
approximately $7,000, or 0.1% of net sales, despite recognizing over $90,000 in
non-cash charges related to expensing stock options under FAS 123(R), compared
to net income of approximately $101,000, or 5.6% of net sales, for the same
three-month period in 2005. During the three-months ending March 31, 2006, we
incurred a positive EBITDA (earnings before interest taxes depreciation and
amortization) of approximately $192,000, or 2.7% of net sales, compared to a
EBITDA of approximately $95,000, or 5.2% of net sales, for the three-months
ending March 31, 2005.

The following table reconciles Earnings Before Interest, Taxes,
Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) to net income (loss) for the three-months
ending March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and represents our ninth
consecutive quarter of positive and growing EBITDA:

EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income (as an
indicator of operating performance) or as an alternative to cash flow (as a
measure of liquidity or ability to service debt obligations). We believe that
EBITDA provides an important additional perspective on our operating results,
our ability to service our long-term obligations, our ability to fund continuing
growth, and our ability to continue as a going concern. Beginning in 2003
through the current quarter in 2006, we showed continued progress in total
revenue as well as in EBITDA.

Year Ended December 31, 2005 -vs.- Year Ended December 31, 2004

Net Sales

Our net sales increased by 84% to $9,005,000 for the year ended December
31, 2005 compared to net sales of $4,891,000 for the same period in 2004. Net
sales increased due to our obtaining and our performance under new and existing

PAGE 32

government contracts. Net sales in 2005 reflected our continued work on the
Missile Defense Agency Task Order 2 contract of $6,767,000 which is part of our
March 31, 2004 Missile Defense Agency contract described above. To date,
contract revenue from Task Order 2 is $7,341,500. We also recorded net sales on
ongoing Small Business Innovation Research contracts with the Air Force Research
Laboratory. These contracts are both for Phase II efforts, and are for our
Small Launch Vehicle and our micro and nanosatellite bus and subsystem designs
work. Net sales for these contracts totaled $750,000 and $616,000 respectively
for the year ended December 31, 2005. In addition, we started our Phase I
effort with Andrews Space which had revenues for the year ended December 31,
2005 of $393,000 and smaller projects with approximately $479,000 in revenue,
which included the lunar lander project, our subcontract support and first Phase
SBIR grants.

Net sales for the year ended December 31, 2004 included $1,400,000 from the
Air Force Research Laboratory Phase II contract, $574,500 and $1,140,000 from
the Missile Defense Agency Task Order 2 and Task Order 1, respectively, $319,000
also from the Missile Defense Agency Phase 0 contract (which was the precursor
to the larger contract with multiple task orders), $686,000 from the
SpaceShipOne program and $240,000 from our Defense Advanced Research Projects
Agency contract for the study of Novel Satcom Microsat Constellation Deployment.

Cost of Sales

For the year ended December 31, 2005, cost of sales was approximately
$6,906,000, or 76.69% of net sales, as compared to approximately $3,821,000, or
78.12% of net sales, during the same period in 2004. Cost of sales consists of
direct and allocated costs associated with individual contracts. The increase in
cost of sales was directly tied to increases in net sales, and the decrease in
cost of sales as a percentage of net sales was due to improved systems and
processes for management of our projects and improved labor productivity. Gross
margin improvement has been limited due to the cost plus fixed fee nature of our
contracts.

PAGE 33

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses increased from approximately $926,000, or 18.93% of net
sales, for the year ended December 31, 2004 to approximately $1,788,000, or
19.85% of net sales, for the same twelve months ended December 31, 2005.
Operating expenses include general and administrative expenses, research and
development costs and marketing and sales expenses.

- General and administrative expenses increased from approximately $507,000,
or 10.37% of net sales, for the year ended December 31, 2004 to
approximately $1,114,000, or 12.37% of net sales, for the year ended
December 31, 2005. The increase was attributable to the increase in
personnel, including a human resources director and a contract
administrator, and compliance efforts, including those related to the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and FAS No. 123(R).

- We have most of our research and development expenses for new products and
services paid for by our government programs and projects.

- Marketing and sales expenses increased from approximately $419,000, or
8.56% of net sales, for the year ended December 31, 2004, to approximately
$674,000, or 7.48% of net sales, during the same period in 2005. Although
the total percent of sales decreased in 2005 the actual dollar increase was
attributable to the allocation of a portion of the personnel costs of our
vice president of new business development and our then chief executive
officer to marketing and sales expenses as well as costs associated with
the preparation and submission of proposals for new projects.

PAGE 34

Non-Operating Expense (Income)

Non-operating expense (income) consisted of amortization of deferred gain
on the sale of our building, other non-cash loan fees and expenses, and interest
expense and interest income. Interest expense did not comprise a significant
portion of non-operating expense during the year ended December 31, 2005 or
2004. For the first time, we recorded a net non-operating income for the year
ended December 31, 2005.

- We expensed approximately $3,000 and $52,000 in interest for the years
ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The decrease was due to a
reduction in debt with fewer notes payable. We continue to pay interest
expense on certain capital leases and settlement notes, although the
balances continue to decline.

- We recognized approximately $106,000 and $19,500 in interest income in 2005
and 2004, respectively. The increase is due to an increase in cash balances
from various financing activities.

- We recognized approximately $117,000 of amortized deferred gain on the sale
of our building during each of the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004,
and we will continue to amortize the remaining deferred gain of
approximately $831,000 into non-operating income over the remainder of the
lease of the building, which is scheduled to expire in 2013.

- We recorded loan fees related to our revolving credit facility of
approximately $29,000 and $3,254,000 of net sales for the years ended
December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Although we did not have a
balance on our revolving credit facility during 2005, we recorded
approximately $29,000 in non-cash loan fees upon Laurus' exercise of
warrants to acquire 50,000 shares of our common stock, which were granted
in 2004 in connection with the revolving credit facility. Additional
non-cash loan fees will be recorded as the warrants granted to Laurus
related to the revolving credit facility are exercised. The large non-cash
2004 charge reflected a beneficial debt to equity conversion feature.

Net Income and EBITDA

Net income was approximately $501,000, or 5.57% of net sales, compared to a
net loss of approximately $3,027,000 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and
2004, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2005, we had earnings
before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, of
approximately $503,000, or 5.59% of net sales, compared to approximately
$228,000, or 4.65% of net sales, for the year ended December 31, 2004.

PAGE 35

The following table reconciles EBITDA to net income (loss) for the years ended
December 31, 2005 and 2004:

EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered as an
alternative to net income (as an indicator of operating performance) or as an
alternative to cash flow (as a measure of liquidity or ability to service debt
obligations). We believe that EBITDA provides an important additional
perspective on our operating results, our ability to service our long-term
obligations, our ability to fund continuing growth, and our ability to continue
as a going concern. Our management regularly evaluates our progress based on
EBITDA.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

CASH POSITION FOR THREE-MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2006 -VS.- THREE-MONTHS
ENDED MARCH 31, 2005

Net decrease in cash during the three-months ending March 31, 2006 was
approximately $4,607,000 compared to a cash increase of $344,000 for the same
three-month period in 2005, primarily due to the acquisition of Starsys Research
Corporation and related debt repayment and transaction costs. These items were
partially offset by the sale of our Series D-1 Preferred Stock to a small group
of institutional investors in January 2006. Net cash used in operating
activities totaled approximately $3,264,000 for the three-months ending March
31, 2006, a decrease of approximately $3,500,000 as compared to approximately
$236,000 provided by operating activities during the same three-month period in
2005, primarily due to the increase in accounts receivable which we received
upon the acquisition of Starsys as well as the increase in all other operating
expenses from the acquired company

Net cash used in investing activities totaled approximately $1,391,000 for
the three-months ending March 31, 2006, compared to approximately $43,000 used
in investing activities during the same three-month period in 2005. The
increase in cash used in investing activities is primarily due to the need to
provide working capital for the operations of Starsys, which was insolvent at
the time we acquired it.

Net cash provided by financing activities totaled approximately $47,000 for
the three-months ending March 31, 2006, which is a decrease of approximately
$104,000 from the approximately $151,000 provided by financing activities during
the same three-months in 2005. This is primarily attributable to the sale of
our Series D-1 Preferred Stock in January 2006, which was then used to fund the
merger with Starsys, pay off the secured debt, and pay down payables and other
accruals on Starsys' books at the end of January 2006.

At March 31, 2006, our cash, which included cash reserves and cash
available for investment, was approximately $1,143,000, as compared to
approximately $5,413,000 at March 31, 2005, a decrease of approximately
$4,270,000 mainly due to the use of cash to fund our acquisition of Starsys in
January 2006 and to provide working capital for the combined company in the
first quarter of 2006.

As of March 31, 2006, our backlog of funded and non-funded business was
approximately $37 million, compared to approximately $45 million as of March 31,
2005. With respect to the Missile Defense Agency program, we expect over $8
million in revenue to be generated in 2006. Although the Missile Defense Agency
contract was awarded to us, there can be no assurance that the contract will be
continued through all phases, and, if continued, that it will generate the
amounts anticipated.

Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary differences in recognizing
certain income and expense items for financial and tax reporting purposes. The
deferred tax asset of $2,484,000 and $2,075,000 as of March 31, 2006 and 2005,
respectively, consist primarily of the income tax benefits from net operating
loss and capital loss carry forwards, amortization of goodwill and research and
development credits. A valuation allowance has been recorded to fully offset
the deferred tax asset as it is more likely than not that the assets will not be
utilized. The valuation allowance increased approximately $645,000 in 2006 from
$1,857,000 at December 31, 2005 to $2,484,000 at March 31, 2006. Of this
valuation allowance, $2,259,000, at March 31, 2006 is related to net operation
losses of the acquired business. The tax benefit of these tax loss carry
forwards, if and when realized, will reduce the existing value of goodwill.

At March 31, 2006, the Company had federal and state tax net operating loss
carry forwards of approximately $4,214,000 and $2,316,000, respectively. The
federal and state tax loss carry forwards will expire in 2023 and 2012,
respectively, unless previously utilized.

PAGE 38

The Company also has acquired federal and Colorado net operating losses in
conjunction with the acquisition of Starsys of approximately $5,727,000 and
$9,220,000, respectively. These net operating losses will be subject to an
annual limitation under internal revenue code section 382.

The Company also has federal and California research tax credit carry
forwards of approximately $68,000 and $47,000, respectively, which begin to
expire in 2018.

Pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 382 and 383, the Company's use of
its net operating losss and credit carry forwards may be limited as a result of
the cumulative changes in the ownership of more than 50% over a three year
period.

CASH POSITION FOR YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005 -VS.- YEAR ENDED DECEMBER
31, 2004

Net increase in cash during the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 was
approximately $681,000 compared to a net increase of approximately $4,477,000
for the same twelve-month period in 2004. Net cash provided by operating
activities totaled approximately $397,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005,
an increase of approximately $507,000 compared to approximately $110,000 used
operating activities during 2004. The improvement in cash from operating
activities resulted from our obtaining and our performance under new and
existing government contracts.

Net cash used in investing activities totaled approximately $2,716,000 for
the year ended December 31, 2005, compared to approximately $225,000 used in
investing activities during the same twelve-month period in 2004. The increase
in cash used in investing activities was attributable to the $1.2 million bridge
loan we entered into with Starsys, our purchase of certain fixed assets related
to the construction of our fabrication and test facility for hybrid rocket
motors and the purchase of additional computer hardware and software tools.

Net cash provided by financing activities totaled approximately $3,000,000
for the year ended December 31, 2005, which is a decrease of approximately
$1,812,000 from the approximately $4,812,000 provided by financing activities
during 2004. The difference is attributable to warrant and option exercises and
the receipt of $2.5 million from the sale of preferred stock to Laurus in August
2004. While we did raise capital in exchange for the sale of our common stock
in the third quarter of 2005, the funds raised from preferred stock issuances
and common stock option exercises in 2004 exceeded the 2005 levels.

Our cash, cash reserves and cash available for investment increased
slightly to approximately $5,750,000 at December 31, 2005, compared to
approximately $5,069,000 at December 31, 2004. The increase was attributable to
cash generated from operations and the capital raised in late 2005 offset by an
increase in accounts payable from materials purchased under contract. Cash plus
accounts receivable increased from approximately $5.7 million at December 31,
2004 to approximately $7.0 million at December 31, 2005.

Our backlog of funded and non-funded business was approximately $28.6
million at December 31, 2005, compared to approximately $47 million at December
31, 2004. We were informed in September 2005 that the Missile Defense Agency
had re-routed the laser communications experiment to another program and that
they would not be exercising their option for a second cluster, at this time;
however, the Missile Defense Agency also informed us of several other
opportunities that might replace the laser communications experiment and while
we cannot be assured of any new business, the Missile Defense Agency was
interested in continuing a productive business relationship with us. As a result
of this notification, we reduced our backlog by approximately $10 million. The
Missile Defense Agency contract is an IDIQ contract, meaning it is an indefinite

PAGE 39

delivery, indefinite quantity contract which can be re-funded up to the $43
million ceiling with other microsatellites or new business without further
signature authority for the five year period of the contract. Although the
Missile Defense Agency contract was awarded to us, there can be no assurance
that the contract will be continued through all phases, and, if continued, that
it will generate the amounts anticipated.

We had a net deferred tax asset of approximately $2,127,000 and $2,350,000
at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, which consisted primarily of the
income tax benefits from net operating loss and capital loss carryforwards,
amortization of deferred gain on sale of building and research and development
credits. Deferred income taxes represent temporary differences in recognizing
certain income and expense items for financial and tax reporting purposes. A
valuation allowance has been recorded to fully offset the deferred tax asset as
it is more likely than not that the assets will not be utilized. The valuation
allowance decreased from $2,318,000 at December 31, 2004 to $2,075,000 at
December 31, 2005.

We had federal and state tax net operating loss and capital loss
carryforwards of approximately $4,214,000 and $1,608,000 at December 31, 2005
respectively. The federal tax loss carryforwards will expire in 2023 and the
state tax loss carryforwards will expire in 2013, unless previously utilized.

PAGE 40

CASH POSITION

Our ability to increase cash generation from operations and thereby
continue as a going concern without the need to raise equity capital depends
upon our ability to ultimately implement our business plan, which includes (but
is not limited to) generating substantial new revenue from the Missile Defense
Agency by successfully performing under our $43 million contract and continuing
to attract and successfully complete other government and commercial contracts.
The Missile Defense Agency contract is staged, and we cannot guarantee that all
subsequent phases will be awarded or will be awarded to us. Recent budget cuts
may affect government spending on these space-based contracts.

In order to perform the Missile Defense Agency contract on schedule and to
successfully execute other existing and new business opportunities, we must
substantially increase our staff and hire new engineers or subcontract the work
to third parties. Although we are actively and aggressively seeking to hire
spacecraft and propulsion engineers to fulfill existing and new business demand,
there can be no assurance that we will be able to attract such engineering
resources or if we are able to attract them, that they will be available in the
timeframe needed or for a reasonable cost.

In addition, we need to continue developing project management expertise to
profitably execute on new business contracts and effectively and efficiently bid
on and win new business. New business opportunities can come from a variety of
sources, including state and federal grants and government and commercial
customer programs. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to
obtain such new business contracts or, if such contracts are available, that we
can obtain then on terms favorable to the Company. The likelihood of our
success must be considered in light of the expenses, difficulties and delays
frequently encountered in connection with the developing businesses, those
historically encountered by us, and the competitive environment in which we
operate.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Due to the acquisition of Starsys, our revenues transitioned in 2006 from
being primarily cost plus fixed fee contracts, where revenues are recognized as
costs are incurred and services are performed, to fixed-price contracts, where
revenues are recognized using the percentage-of-completion method of contract
accounting based on the ratio of total costs incurred to total estimated costs,.
Losses on contracts are recognized when they become known and reasonably
estimable (see the Notes to SpaceDev's Consolidated Financial Statements).
Actual results of contracts may differ from management's estimates and such
differences could be material to the consolidated financial statements.
Professional fees are billed to customers on a time-and-materials basis, a
fixed-price basis or a per-transaction basis. Time-and-materials revenues are
recognized as services are performed. Deferred revenue represents amounts
collected from customers for services to be provided at a future date. Research
and development costs are expensed as incurred.

In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation. We adopted SFAS No. 123 in 1997. Through December 31,
2005 we have elected to measure compensation expense for our stock-based
employee compensation plans using the intrinsic value method prescribed by APB
Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and have provided pro
forma disclosures as if the fair value based method prescribed in SFAS No. 123
has been utilized. (See Note 4 to SpaceDev's Consolidated Financial Statements.)
We have valued our stock, stock options and warrants issued to non-employees at
fair value in accordance with the accounting prescribed in SFAS No. 123, which
states that all transactions in which goods or services are received for the
issuance of equity instruments shall be accounted for based on the fair value of
the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued,
whichever is more reliably measurable.

PAGE 42

SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and
Disclosure, which amends SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,
was published by the Financial Accounting Standards Board on December 31, 2002.
The effective date of FASB No. 148 is December 15, 2002. SFAS No. 123
prescribes a "fair value" methodology to measure the cost of stock options and
other equity awards. Companies may elect either to recognize fair value
stock-based compensation costs in their financial statements or to disclose the
pro forma impact of those costs in the footnotes. Through December 31, 2005, we
had chosen the latter approach.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based
Payment (SFAS No. 123R), which replaces SFAS No. 123 and supersedes APB Opinion
No. 25. SFAS No. 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including
grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements
based on their fair values. In addition, the adoption of SFAS No. 123R requires
additional accounting related to the income tax effects and additional
disclosure regarding the cash flow effects resulting from share-based payment
arrangements. SFAS No. 123R is effective January 1, 2006 for calendar year
companies. Accordingly, we implemented the revised standard in the first quarter
of 2006. [See Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements for additional
information.]

On December 20, 2005, in response to SFAS No. 123R, our Board of Directors
approved accelerating the vesting of all unvested stock options held by current
employees, including executive officers, and members of the Board of Directors.
The accelerated vesting was effective as of December 20, 2005.

PAGE 43

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets- An Amendment of APB Opinion No.
29. The guidance in APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions,
is based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be
measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. The guidance in that
Opinion, however, included certain exceptions to that principle. SFAS No. 153
amends Opinion No. 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of
similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges
of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary
exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are
expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. The provisions of
SFAS No. 153 are effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal
periods beginning after June 15, 2005. Early application was permitted and
companies must apply the standard prospectively. The adoption of this standard
is not expected to have any effect on our financial position or results of
operations.

In December 2004, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS No. 123R). FAS No. 123R
revised SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes
APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and its related
implementation guidance. SFAS No. 123R will require compensation costs related
to share-based payment transactions to be recognized in the financial statement
(with limited exceptions). The amount of compensation cost will be measured
based on the grant-date fair value of the equity or liability instruments
issued. Compensation cost will be recognized over the period that an employee
provides service in exchange for the award.

In March 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (SAB No. 107), Share-Based Payment, providing
guidance on option valuation methods, the accounting for income tax effects of
share-based payment arrangements upon adoption of SFAS No. 123R, and the
disclosures in MD&A subsequent to the adoption. In April 2005, the Securities
and Exchange Commission adopted a rule which delayed the compliance date for
small business issuers to the start of the first fiscal year beginning after
December 15, 2005. We will provide SAB No. 107 required disclosures upon
adoption of SFAS No. 123R in January 2006 and are currently evaluating the
impact the adoption of the standard will have on our financial condition and
results of operations.

In June 2005, FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Errors
Corrections, a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FAS No. 3. The Statement
applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle, and changes the

PAGE 44

requirements for accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting
principle. SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods'
financial statements of a voluntary change in accounting principle unless it is
impractical. APB Opinion No. 20 previously required that most voluntary changes
in accounting principle be recognized by including in net income of the period
of the change the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle.
SFAS No.154 is not expected to have any effect on our financial position or
results of operations.

In February 2006, the FASB issued FAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain
Hybrid Financial Instruments-an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140
(FAS No. 155). This statement resolves issues addressed in FAS No. 133
Implementation Issue No. D1, Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interest
in Securitized Financial Assets. FAS No. 155 (a) permits fair value
remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded
derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation; (b) clarifies which
interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the
requirements of FAS No. 133; (c) establishes a requirement to evaluate
beneficial interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that
are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that
contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation; (d) clarifies that
concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded
derivatives; and (e) eliminates restrictions on a qualifying special-purpose
entity's ability to hold passive derivative financial instruments that pertain
to beneficial interests that are or contain a derivative financial instrument.
FAS No. 155 also requires presentation within the financial statements that
identifies those hybrid financial instruments for which the fair value election
has been applied and information on the income statement impact of the changes
in fair value of those instruments. We are required to apply FAS No. 155 to all
financial instruments acquired, issued or subject to a remeasurement event
beginning January 1, 2007. We do not expect the adoption of FAS No. 155 to have
a material impact on our financial statements.

INFORMATION REGARDING BUSINESS OF SPACEDEV

OVERVIEW

we are engaged in the conception, design, development,
manufacture, integration and operations of space technology subsystems, systems,
products and services. We are currently focused on the commercial and
military development of low-cost microsatellites, nanosatellites and related
subsystems, hybrid rocket propulsion for space and launch vehicles, as well as
the associated engineering technical services to government, aerospace and other
commercial enterprises. Our products and solutions are sold directly to
these customers and include sophisticated micro- and nanosatellites, hybrid
rocket-based launch vehicles, orbital Maneuvering and orbital Transfer Vehicles
as well as safe sub-orbital and orbital hybrid rocket-based propulsion systems.

PAGE 45

We are also developing commercial hybrid rocket motors for possible use in
small launch vehicles, targets and sounding rockets, and small high performance
space vehicles and subsystems.

Our approach is to provide smaller spacecraft - generally 250 kg
(550 pounds) mass and less - and cleaner, safer hybrid propulsion systems to
commercial, government, university and limited international customers. We
are developing smaller spacecraft and miniaturized subsystems using proven,
lower cost, high-quality off-the-shelf components. Our space products are
modular and reproducible, which allows us to create affordable space
solutions for our customers. By utilizing our innovative technology
and experience, and space-qualifying commercial industry-standard hardware,
software and interfaces, we provide increased reliability with reduced
costs and risks.

We have been awarded, have successfully concluded or
are successfully concluding contracts from such esteemed government,
university and commercial customers as the Air Force Research Laboratory,
Boeing, the California Space Authority, the Defense Advanced Research Projects
Agency, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Lockheed Martin, Lunar Enterprise
Corporation, Malin Space Science Systems, the Missile Defense Agency (formerly
the "Ballistic Missile Defense Organization"), the National Reconnaissance
Office, Scaled Composites and the University of California at Berkeley via NASA.

We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado on
December 23, 1996 as Pegasus Development Group, Inc. ("PDGI"). SpaceDev, LLC of
Colorado was originally formed in 1997 for commercial space exploration and was
the sole owner of shares of common stock of SpaceDev (a Nevada corporation)
("SpaceDev"), formed on August 22, 1997. On October 22, 1997, PDGI issued
8,245,000 of its $0.0001 par value common stock for 100 percent (1,000,000
shares) of SpaceDev's common stock owned by SpaceDev, LLC. Upon the acquisition
of the SpaceDev stock, SpaceDev was merged into PDGI and, on December 17, 1997,
PDGI changed its name to SpaceDev, Inc. After the merger, SpaceDev, LLC, changed
its name to SD Holdings, LLC on December 17, 1997. SpaceDev became a publicly
traded company in October 1997 and is currently trading on the Nasdaq
Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board ("OTCBB") under the symbol of "SPDV."

In February 1998, we acquired Integrated Space Systems, located in
San Diego. Integrated Space Systems was fully integrated into SpaceDev. Most of
the Integrated Space Systems' employees were former commercial Atlas launch
vehicle engineers and managers who worked for General Dynamics in San Diego. As
our employees, they primarily develop systems and products based on
hybrid rocket motor technology and launch vehicle systems. Integrated Space
Systems was dissolved in 2003.

In August 1998, we acquired a license to the patents and intellectual
property produced by the American Rocket Company, which we refer to as AMROC.
The acquisition provided us access to a large cache of hybrid rocket
documents, designs and test results. AMROC specialized in the design,
development and testing of hybrid rocket technology (solid fuel plus liquid
oxidizer) for small sounding rockets and launch vehicles.

In late 1998, we bid and won a government-sponsored research and
development contract, which was directly related to our strategic
commercial space interests. We competed with seven other industry teams
and was one of five firms selected by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory to
perform a mission and spacecraft feasibility assessment study for the proposed
200-kg Mars MicroMissions. The final report was delivered to the Jet Propulsion
Laboratory in March 1999 and, as a result, we now offer lunar and Mars
commercial deep-space missions based on this and subsequent innovative space
system designs.

In mid-1999, we won an R&D contract from the National Reconnaissance
Office to study small hybrid-based "micro" kick-motors for small-satellite
orbital transfer applications. During the contract, we successfully
developed three Secondary Payload Orbital Transfer Vehicle design concepts.
we subsequently created a prototype, which led to the development of
our capability to apply the Secondary Payload Orbital Transfer Vehicle
concept to our subsequent Maneuvering and orbit Transfer Vehicle
development programs.

In November 1999, we won a $4.9 million mission contract by the Space
Sciences Laboratory at the University of California at Berkeley. We were
competitively selected to design, build, integrate, test and operate, for one
year, a small NASA-sponsored scientific, Earth-orbiting spacecraft called
CHIPSat. CHIPSat is the first and, to SpaceDev's knowledge, only successful
mission of NASA's low-cost University-Class Explorer series to date. Due to
additional NASA and customer reviews, additional work, schedule extensions and a
fee for one year of satellite operations, the CHIPSat contract award was
increased by approximately $2.5 million in 2001 and 2002, bringing the total
contract value for design, build, launch and operations to approximately $7.4
million. CHIPSat launched as a secondary payload on a Delta-II rocket on January
12, 2003. CHIPSat is the world's first orbiting Internet node. The satellite
achieved 3-axis stabilization with all individual components and systems
successfully operating and continues to work well in orbit. After more than two

PAGE 46

years. The CHIPSat program generated approximately $2.1 million, $3.2 million,
$1.7 million, $0.4 million and $0.1 million of revenue in 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003
and 2004, respectively.

On March 22, 2000, the California Spaceport Authority and the California
Space and Technology Alliance awarded us a grant of approximately $100,000
to be used for test firing our hybrid rocket motors. California's Western
Commercial Space Center also awarded us approximately $200,000 to help
build and equip its satellite and space vehicle manufacturing facilities. These
capabilities were used to expand our project and technology base.

In July 2000, the National Reconnaissance Office granted us two
separate follow-on competitive awards of approximately $400,000 each for further
hybrid rocket engine design, test, evaluation, and development. Our work
for the National Reconnaissance Office has helped fund two innovative hybrid
rocket motor potential products:

- a family of small versatile orbital Maneuver and orbit Transfer Vehicles
using clean, safe hybrid rocket propulsion technology; and

- a protoflight hybrid propulsion module for a 50-kg class microsatellite.

Both of those contracts were successfully completed.

In September 2001, Scaled Composites awarded us a contract for a
proprietary hybrid propulsion development program for Scaled's "SpaceShipOne,"
valued in excess of $1 million. The entire contract, awarded upon the submitted
designs, was valued at approximately $2.2 million. The contract was indicative
of an increased demand for our hybrid motor technology and expertise in
the space industry. Work on this project generated approximately $1.2 million
and $397,000 of revenue in 2002 and 2003, respectively. In September of 2003,
we were selected by Scaled Composites as the sole supplier of hybrid
propulsions systems, and was awarded the follow-on SpaceShipOne propulsion
contract. We generated approximately $115,000 of revenue in 2003 and
$686,000 of revenue in 2004 from this contract and related engineering change
orders, with approximately $180,000 from engineering change orders and
approximately $506,000 from the contract.

- On December 17, 2003, which corresponded with the 100th anniversary of the
Wright Brothers flight, our hybrid propulsion system, which we
believe is the world's largest of its kind, aboard SpaceShipOne,
successfully powered a pilot toward space on its historic first powered
supersonic flight. After being released by the White Knight, a carrier aircraft,
the SpaceShipOne Test Pilot flew the ship to a stable, 0.55 mach gliding flight
condition, started a pull-up, and fired our hybrid rocket motor. Nine
seconds later, SpaceShipOne broke the sound barrier and continued its steep
powered ascent. The climb was very aggressive, accelerating forward at more than
3-g while pulling upward at more than 2.5-g. At motor shutdown, 15 seconds after
ignition, SpaceShipOne was climbing at a 60-degree angle and flying near 1.2
Mach (930 mph). The test pilot then continued the maneuver to a vertical climb,
achieving zero speed at an altitude of 68,000 feet.

- On June 21, 2004, our proprietary hybrid rocket motor technology
successfully powered SpaceShipOne on its fourth and most important
history-making flight to space. At approximately 7:45 AM PDT on Monday, June
21st, we powered SpaceShipOne well beyond the 50 mile altitude required to
be considered a space flight, and created the world's first private sector
astronaut. After being released by the White Knight, SpaceShipOne's test pilot,
Mike Melvill, fired the rocket motor at the planned altitude and the rocket
motor then propelled SpaceShipOne to over 328,000 feet in approximately 80
seconds, flying near Mach 5.0.

- On September 29, 2004 and October 4, 2004, our hybrid propulsion
technology helped propel Scaled Composites/Paul Allen's SpaceShipOne into space
flight history as the craft garnered the $10 Million Ansari X Prize, a contest
created to stimulate the development of the private sector human space flight
industry. We provided several critical components and the hybrid rocket
technology for the craft's motor, including igniter, injector and main operating
valve, which successfully performed as expected and powered SpaceShipOne on its
historic manned flight. SpaceShipOne exceeded the altitude requirement on both
scheduled flights as required by the Ansari X Prize competition. The hybrid
propulsion system burned full duration and pilot Brian Binnie steered
SpaceShipOne high above the Mojave, California desert to a height of 367,442
feet altitude (69.5 miles), which far exceeded the required 328,000 feet
altitude - the goal required by the X Prize Foundation of St. Louis, Missouri.
The altitude is generally considered to be the threshold of space.

Although we were not the recipient of the Ansari X Prize, it was a
contest designed to jumpstart the space tourism industry through competition
among the most talented entrepreneurs and rocket experts in the world.
SpaceShipOne was built and launched with private funds from Paul Allen. The
craft was able to carry equivalent weight of three people to 100 kilometers
(62.5 miles) and return safely to earth. The competition followed in the
footsteps of more than 100 aviation incentive prizes offered between 1905 and
1935 credited with spawning today's multibillion-dollar air transport industry.
By helping SpaceShipOne succeed, we were instrumental in moving the
private space community closer to realizing its vision of creating safe,
affordable, commercial human space flight.

On April 4, 2002, SpaceDev, Inc., an Oklahoma corporation, was formed for
the purpose of investigating and developing commercial space products in the
state of Oklahoma. We currently has no plans to develop this business in
Oklahoma and our subsidiary there remains dormant.

On April 30, 2002, we were awarded Phase I of a contract to develop
a Shuttle-compatible propulsion module for the Air Force Research Laboratory.
We received an award for Phase II of the contract on March 28, 2003.
We are using the project to further expand our Maneuvering and
Orbital Transfer Vehicle technology and product line to satisfy government space
transportation requirements. The first two phases of the contract have an
estimated value of approximately $2.5 million, of which $100,000 was awarded for
Phase I. Phase II of the contract is cost-plus fixed fee. In order to complete
Phase II, we requested and were granted approximately four months
of additional time and approximately $240,000 of additional funding,
memorialized by a contract amendment executed on July 7, 2004. In addition to
the Phase I and Phase II awards, there was an option worth approximately
$800,000, which was initiated on May 3, 2004. The additional funding to complete
AFRL Phase II came in part from the original $1 million option; thereby reducing
the option to approximately $800,000. An additional effort to develop a
miniaturized Shuttle-compatible propulsion module has been added to this
contract and was worth approximately $150,000.

On July 9, 2003, we were awarded a contract by the Missile Defense
Agency to explore the use of microsatellites in national missile defense. It was
a precursor contract to the $43 million contract mentioned below. Our
microsatellites are operated over the Internet and are capable of pointing and
tracking targets in space or on the ground. This study explored fast response
microsatellite launch and commissioning; small, low-power passive sensors;
target acquisition and tracking; formation flying and local area networking
within a cluster of microsatellites; and an extension of our proven use of
the Internet for on-orbit command, control and data handling. The contract was
successfully concluded on February 27, 2004. The total contract value was
$800,000. This contract was considered an investigatory phase by MDA.

Also, on July 9, 2003, we were awarded a Phase I Small Business
Innovation Research contract by Air Force Research Lab to design and effectively
begin the development of our small launch vehicle. Our Small Launch
Vehicle will be designed to lift up to 1,000 pounds to Low Earth Orbit
responsively and affordably. Our Small Launch Vehicle concept is based on
a proprietary combination of technologies to increase the performance of hybrid
rocket motor technology. Hybrid rocket motors are a combination of solid fuel
and liquid oxidizer, and can be relatively safe, clean, non-explosive, and
storable, and can be throttled, shut down and restarted. This contract was
valued at approximately $100,000, and was a fixed price, milestone-based
agreement, which was completed in about one year. The Phase II of this SBIR was
awarded on September 29, 2004 and was worth approximately $1,557,000. The
contract outlined the development and test firing of our large Common Core
Booster for our Small Launch Vehicle. Congress awarded us
approximately $3.0 million in additional funding for this project, which
became available in late 2005 . We believe that there is additional
interest by Congress in providing further funding to expand and accelerate the
scope of the work; however, there can be no assurance that such work will be
awarded to us.

Also, on July 9, 2003, we were awarded a Phase I contract to develop
micro and nanosatellite bus and subsystem designs. This Air Force Research
Laboratory Small Business Innovation Research contract, valued at approximately
$100,000, has enabled us to explore the further miniaturization of
our unique and innovative microsatellite subsystems. It has also enabled
we were to explore ways to reduce the time and cost to build small
satellites through further standardization in order to help define de facto
standards for payload hardware and software interfaces. The contract
was fixed price, milestone-based and was completed in about one year. On
August 23, 2004, we were awarded the Phase II of this Small Business
Innovation Research grant, which was later amended on September 8, 2004 to
shorten the length of the overall contract, worth approximately $739,000 for
carry-forward work.

PAGE 48

On July 24, 2003, we were awarded a contract by Lunar Enterprise of
California for a first phase project to begin developing a conceptual mission
and spacecraft design for a lunar lander program. The unmanned mission is being
designed to put a small dish antenna near the south pole of the Moon. From that
location it will be in near-constant sunlight for solar power generation, and
should be able to perform multi-wavelength astronomy while communicating with
ground stations on Earth. The contract value was $100,000 and was completed by
November 2003. We were awarded a follow-on phase to further analyze
launch opportunities, spacecraft design, trajectory possibilities, potential
landing areas, available technologies for a small radio astronomy system, and
communications and data handling requirements on July 20, 2004 in the amount of
$150,000. The contract has been completed.

On December 18, 2003, we were awarded a contract by the Defense
Advanced Research Projects Agency for the study of Novel Satcom Microsat
Constellation Deployment. The contract was a milestone-based, fixed price
contract with total consideration of approximately $200,000. On August 6, 2004,
an additional $39,849 was added to the contract for increased scope, bringing
the total contract value on this fixed price effort to approximately $240,000.
The contract has been completed.

On March 31, 2004, we were awarded a five-year, cost-plus-fixed fee
indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract for up to $43,362,271 to
conduct a microsatellite distributed sensing experiment, an option for a laser
communications experiment, and other microsatellite studies and experiments as
required in support of the Advanced Systems Deputate of the Missile Defense
Agency. This effort will be accomplished in a phased approach, with the first
Task Order for approximately $1.1 million awarded on April 1, 2004 and completed
by September 30, 2004. The second Task Order for approximately $8.3 million was
awarded on October 20, 2004. The principal place of performance will be Poway,
California. We expect to complete the work under the contract before March
2009. Government contract funds will not expire at the end of the current
government fiscal year. The microsatellite distributed sensing experiment is
intended to design and build up to six responsive, affordable, high performance
microsatellites to support national missile defense. The milestone-based,
multiyear, multiphase contract had an effective start date of March 1, 2004.
Approximately $1.14 million of revenue was generated under the first phase of
this contract. The first phase or "Task Order," resulted in a detailed mission
and microsatellite design. The second phase or "Task Order," was signed on
October 20, 2004 with an effective date of October 1, 2004. The second Task
Order originally expected to be completed by January 2006, was extended at
the request of the Missile Defense Agency, and was completed in March 2006 .
The overall contract calls for us to analyze, design, develop, fabricate,
integrate, test, operate and support a networked cluster of three formation-
flying boost phase and midcourse tracking microsatellites, with an option to
design, develop, fabricate, integrate, test, operate and support a second
cluster of three formation flying microsatellites to be networked on-orbit with
high speed laser communications technology. The third phase began April 1,
2006 .

BUSINESS STRATEGY

Our strategy is based on the belief that innovative advancements in
technology and the application of standard business processes and practices will
make access to space much more practical and affordable. We believe these
factors will cause growth in certain areas of space commerce and will create new
space markets and increased demand for our proprietary products.
Our business strategy for historical SpaceDev operations is to:

- Introduce commercial business practices into the space arena, use
off-the-shelf technology in innovative ways and standardize hardware and
software to reduce costs and to increase reliability and profits;

- Start with small, practical and profitable projects, and leverage
credibility and profits into larger and ever more bold initiatives, utilizing
partnerships where appropriate;

- Bid, win and leverage government programs to fund SpaceDev's research and
development and product development efforts;

- Integrate our smaller, low cost commercial spacecraft and hybrid
space transportation systems to provide one-stop turnkey payload and/or data
delivery services to target customers;

- Apply our low cost space products to new applications and to create
new users, new markets and new revenue streams;

PAGE 49

- Produce and fly commercial missions, in conjunction with partners and
investors, throughout the inner solar system in the commercial beyond earth
orbit "space";

- Join or establish a team to build a safe, affordable sub-orbital,
passenger space plane to help initiate the space tourism business; and

- Establish a team to build a safe, affordable orbital passenger vehicle as
a potential shuttle replacement.

We believe that our business model emphasizing smaller
satellites, commercial approaches, technological simplicity, architectural and
interface standardization and horizontal integration (i.e., "whole product"),
provides the following competitive advantages:

- Enables small-space customers to contract for end-to-end mission
solutions, reducing the need for and complexity of finding other contractors for
different project tasks;

- Decreases schedule time and lowers total project costs, thereby providing
greater value and increases return on investment for SpaceDev and its customers;
and

- Tends to create barriers to entry by and competition from
competitors.

PRODUCTS AND SERVICES; MARKET

We currently have three primary lines of space products and services on
which we believe a sound foundation and profitable, cash generating business
can be built:

- Spacecraft Products and Services - Microsatellites & Nanosatellites, BD-II
Spacecraft Buses, and Maneuvering and orbital Transfer Vehicles;

- Propulsion Products and Services - Hybrid Propulsion and Launch Vehicle
Systems; and,

- Mechanical and electro-mechanical systems - actuators, gimbals, and
arrays.

These products and services are being marketed and sold directly into
primarily domestic government, university, military and commercial markets.
we consider ourselves a project company rather than a product company
today, although products are generated from projects. Our long term goal
and vision is to migrate from a project company to a product company. Our
business is not seasonal to any significant extent; however, our business
follows normal industry trends such as increased demand during bullish economic
periods, or slow-downs in demand during periods of recession.

In addition, we are working with partners to create new markets that
can generate new space-related service, media, tourism and commercial revenue
streams. While we believe that certain space market opportunities are
still several years away, we are currently working with industry-leading
partners to develop unique enabling technology for the potentially very large
sub-orbital manned space plane tourism market; and creating a new unmanned
Beyond Earth Orbit commercial market with spacecraft derived from our NASA
JPL Mars MicroMission and Boeing Lunar Orbiter mission design contracts.

SPACEDEV'S SPACECRAFT PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

Microsatellites & Nanosatellites - We design and build small, light,
high-performance, reliable and affordable micro- and nanosatellites. The primary
benefit of micro- and nanosatellites is lower cost and weight. Since
we can dramatically reduce manufacturing costs and the costs to launch the
satellites to earth-orbit and deep space, we can pass those cost savings
on to our customers. Small, inexpensive satellites were once the exclusive
domain of scientific and amateur groups; however, smaller satellites are now a
viable alternative to larger, more expensive ones, as they provide
cost-effective solutions to traditional problems. We design and build low
cost, high-performance space-mission solutions involving microsatellites
(generally less than 100 kg) and even smaller satellites (less than 50 kg).
Our approach is to provide smaller spacecraft and compatible low cost,
safe hybrid propulsion space systems to a growing market of commercial,
government and potentially international customers.

BD-II (Boeing Delta-II compatible) spacecraft buses - We have a
qualified microsatellite bus available to sell as a standard, fixed-price
product to government and commercial customers needing an affordable satellite
for small payloads. We began developing this product in 1999, when
we were selected as the mission designer, spacecraft bus provider,
integrator and mission operator of the University of California at Berkeley
Space Sciences Laboratory's Cosmic Hot Interstellar Plasma Spectrometer
("CHIPS") mission. CHIPSat was launched at 4:45 PM PST on January 12, 2003 from

PAGE 50

Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. The satellite achieved 3-axis
stabilization with all individual components and systems successfully operating
and continues to work well in orbit.

Maneuvering and orbital Transfer Vehicle - Our Maneuvering and
orbital Transfer Vehicle system is a family of small, affordable, elegantly
simple, throttleable, and restartable propulsion and integrated satellite
products. Our Maneuvering and orbital Transfer Vehicle can be used as a
standard propulsion module to transport a customer's payload to different
orbits. The Maneuvering and orbital Transfer Vehicle provides the change in
velocity and maneuvering capabilities to support a wide variety of applications
for on-orbit maneuvering, proximity operations, rendezvous, inspection, docking,
surveillance, protection, inclination changes and orbital transfers.

Spacecraft and Subsystem Design - We also provide reliable,
affordable access to space through innovative solutions currently lacking in the
marketplace. Our approach is to provide smaller spacecraft - generally 250
kg mass and less - and compatible hybrid propulsion space systems to commercial,
university and government customers. The small spacecraft market is supported by
the evolution and enabling of microelectronics, common hardware & software
interface standards, and smaller launch vehicles. Reduction of the size and mass
of traditional spacecraft electronics has reduced the overall spacecraft size,
mass, and volume over the past 10 to 15 years. For example, our miniature
flight computer is only 24 cubic inches and provides 300 million instructions
per second of processing power versus a competitor's more "traditional" solution
that requires about 63 cubic inches and only provides 10 MIPS.

Microsatellite & Nanosatellite Launches - To support the growth in customer
demand within the small satellite market, we work with launch providers
to identify and market affordable launch opportunities and to provide customers
with a complete on-orbit data delivery service that combines our
spacecraft and hybrid propulsion products. These innovative, low-cost, turnkey
launch solutions will allow us to provide one-stop shopping for launch
services, spacecraft, payload accommodation, total flight system integration and
test and mission operations. The customer only needs to provide the payload, and
we have the capacity to perform all the tasks required for the customer
to get to orbit and to begin collecting their data. In November 2005, we
signed a contract with SpaceX of El Segundo, CA to purchase specified launch
services on a Falcon I launch vehicle. The launch vehicle is planned for
multiple primary microsatellite payloads and multiple secondary nanosatellite
payloads produced by us or other suppliers. We have tentatively
scheduled the first launch for May 2008, with additional optional launches to
follow. We plan to launch a combination of microsatellites and nanosats
on each Falcon launch. We consider the Falcon I launch vehicle, which is
capable of delivering more than 600kg (1200 pounds) to low earth orbit, to be
one of the most cost-effective domestic launch vehicles currently available.

Mission Control and Operations - Our mission control and operations
center, located in our headquarters building near San Diego, coupled with
our mission control and operations package, is uniquely Internet-based and
allows for the operation and control of missions from anywhere in the world that
has access to the Internet. CHIPSat was the first U.S. mission to use end-to-end
satellite operations with TCP/IP and FTP. While this concept has been analyzed
and demonstrated by the NASA OMNI team, CHIPSat is the first to implement the
concept as the only means of satellite communication. A formation flying cluster
or constellation of TCP/IP-based microsatellites, similar to the cluster of
microsats we are developing for the Missile Defense Agency, can be
designed to communicate directly with each other, as in a wide area network in
space. Provided any one satellite/node in this network is in line-of-sight with
any ground station at any given time, the entire constellation could always
maintain ground station connectivity, thus creating a network on-orbit and on
the web, a direct extension of CHIPSat's elegantly simple TCP/IP mission
operations architecture.

SPACEDEV'S PROPULSION PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

Hybrid Rocket Propulsion and Launch Vehicle Systems - We provide a
wide variety of safe, clean, simple, reliable, cost-effective hybrid propulsion
systems to safely and inexpensively enable satellites and on-orbit delivery
systems to rendezvous and maneuver on-orbit and deliver payloads to sub-orbital
altitudes. Hybrid rocket propulsion is a safe and low-cost technology that has
tremendous benefits for current and future space missions. Our hybrid
rocket propulsion technology features a simple design, is restartable, is
throttleable and is easy to transport, handle and store.

Hybrid Orbital Vehicle - We have begun designing a reuseable, piloted,
sub-orbital space ship that could be scaled to safely and economically transport
passengers to and from low earth orbit, including the International Space
Station. The name of the vehicle is the SpaceDev Dream Chaser(TM). We
signed a non-binding Space Act Memorandum of Understanding with NASA Ames
Research Center, which confirms our intention to explore novel, hybrid
propulsion based hypersonic test beds for routine human space access. We

PAGE 51

will explore with NASA collaborative partnerships to investigate the potential
of using our proven hybrid propulsion and other technologies, and a low
cost, private space program development approach, to establish and design new
piloted small launch vehicles and flight test platforms to enable near-term,
low-cost routine space access for NASA and the United States. One possibility
for collaboration is our SpaceDev Dream Chaser(TM) project, which is
currently being discussed with NASA Ames. Unlike the more complex SpaceShipOne,
for which we provided critical proprietary hybrid rocket motor propulsion
technologies and components, the SpaceDev Dream Chaser(TM) would be crewed and
launch vertically, like most launch vehicles, and would glide back for a normal
horizontal runway landing. The sub-orbital SpaceDev Dream Chaser(TM) will have
an altitude goal of approximately 160 km (about 100 miles) and will be powered
by a single, high performance hybrid rocket motor, under parallel development by
us for the SpaceDev Streaker(TM), a family of small, expendable launch
vehicles, designed to deliver affordably small satellites to low earth orbit.

The SpaceDev Dream Chaser(TM) will use motor technology being developed for
the SpaceDev Streaker(TM) booster stage, the most powerful motor in the Streaker
family. The SpaceDev Dream Chaser(TM) motor will produce approximately 100,000
pounds of thrust, about six times the thrust of the SpaceShipOne motor, but less
than one-half the thrust of the 250,000 pounds of thrust produced by hybrid
rocket motors developed several years ago by the American Rocket Company.
our non-explosive hybrid rocket motors use synthetic rubber as the fuel,
and nitrous oxide for the oxidizer to make the rubber burn. Traditional rocket
motors use two liquids, or a solid propellant that combines the fuel and
oxidizer, but both types of rocket motors are explosive, and all solid motors
produce copious quantities of toxic exhaust. our hybrid rocket motors are
non-toxic and do not detonate like solid or liquid rocket motors. Mission
Analysis and Design - we can provide end-to-end mission design and
analysis, including the design of the mission and its science, commerce or
technology demonstration goals, the design of an appropriate space vehicle
(satellite or spacecraft), prototype development, construction and testing of
the spacecraft, integration of one or more payloads (instruments, experiments or
technologies) into the spacecraft, integration of the spacecraft onto the launch
vehicle (rocket), the launch and the mission control and operations during the
life of the mission. Many of our products and services are now qualified
or are nearing qualification to assist with missions that orbit the earth,
travel to another planetary body, or cruise through space taking measurements
and transmitting valuable data back to Earth.

COMPONENTS AND RAW MATERIALS

Although the historic SpaceDev business may experience a shortage of
certain parts and components related to its products, we have many
alternative suppliers and distributors and is not dependent on any individual
supplier or distributor. Furthermore, we have not experienced difficulty
in our ability to obtain parts or component materials, nor do we
expect this to be a problem in the future.

COMPETITION

We compete for sales of our products and services based on price,
performance, technical features, contracting approach, reliability,
availability, customization, and, in some situations, geography. Our
primary competition for low-cost propulsion systems using clean, safe,
commercially available hybrid rocket motor technology comes from Cesaroni
Technology Incorporated in Canada and their affiliates. While Lockheed Martin
has demonstrated large-scale hybrid rocket capability, and there are a number of
smaller enterprises, especially academic-based organizations, in the domestic
market currently investigating various aspects of hybrid rocket technology, to
date we have seen limited competitive pressures arising from these
organizations.

The primary domestic competition for unmanned earth-orbiting
microsatellites, unmanned deep space micro-spacecraft and microsatellite
subsystems as well as software systems comes from other small companies such as
AeroAstro, Orbital Sciences and Spectrum Astro. The most established
international competitors are Surrey Satellite Technology Limited in the United
Kingdom, OHB Systems in Germany, an OHB Technology AG Company, and EADS Astrium
with locations throughout Western Europe. Swedish Space Corporation is also able
to compete in the small-satellite arena, particularly in the European market. In
addition to private companies, there are a limited number of universities in the
United States that have the capability to produce reasonably simple
microsatellites; these include, Weber State in Ogden, Utah and Colorado
University in Boulder, Colorado.

While we believe that our product and service offerings provide a
wide breadth of solutions for our customers and prospective customers,
some of its competitors compete across many of our product lines. Several
of SpaceDev's current and potential competitors have greater resources,
including technical and engineering resources. We are not aware of any
established large companies (e.g., Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, Boeing),
which have expressed corporate goals to design and build inexpensive
micro-spacecraft for a mission, which would be our direct competition.

We also compete with each of our competitors for qualified
engineers. There are a limited number of individuals with all of the
requirements that we seek and there can be no assurance that we can

PAGE 52

locate and recruit these individuals in a timely and cost-effective manner. Many
of our competitors have greater resources than we do and can offer
higher salaries or better incentives to attract these individuals.

REGULATION

Our business activities are regulated by various agencies and
departments of the U.S. government and, in certain circumstances, the
governments of other countries. Several government agencies, including NASA and
the United States Air Force, maintain Export Control Offices to ensure that any
disclosure of scientific and technical information complies with the Export
Administration Regulations and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations
("ITAR"). Exports of our products, services and technical data require
either Technical Assistance Agreements or licenses from the United States
Department of State, depending on the level of technology being transferred.
This includes recently published regulations restricting the ability of United
States-based companies to complete offshore launches, or to export certain
satellite components and technical data to any country outside the United
States. The export of information with respect to ground-based sensors,
detectors, high-speed computers, and national security and missile technology
items are controlled by the Department of Commerce. The government is very
strict with respect to compliance and has served notice that failure to comply
with the ITAR and/or the Commerce Department regulations may subject guilty
parties to fines of up to $1 million and/or up to 10 years imprisonment per
violation. Our failure to comply with any of the foregoing regulations
could have serious adverse effects. Also, our ability to
successfully market and sell into international markets may be severely hampered
due to ITAR regulation requirements. Our conservative position is to
consider any material beyond standard marketing material to be regulated by
ITAR.

In addition to the standard local, state and national government
regulations that all businesses must adhere to, the space industry has specific
regulations. In the United States, command and telemetry frequency assignments
for space missions are primarily regulated by the Federal Communications
Commission for our domestic commercial products. Our products geared
toward domestic government customers are regulated by the National
Telecommunications Information Agency and any of our products sold
internationally, if any, are regulated by the International Telecommunications
Union. All launch vehicles that are launched from a launch site in the United
States must pass certain launch range safety regulations that are administered
by the United States Air Force. In addition, all commercial space launches that
we might perform require a license from the Department of Transportation.
Satellites that are launched must obtain approvals for command and frequency
assignments. For international approvals, the Federal Communications Commission
and National Telecommunications and Information Administration obtain these
approvals from the International Telecommunication Union.

We are also required to obtain permits, licenses, and other
authorizations under federal, state, local and foreign statutes, laws or
regulations or other governmental restrictions relating to the environment or to
emissions, discharges or releases of pollutants, contaminants, petroleum or
petroleum products, chemicals or industrial, toxic or hazardous substances or
wastes into the environment including, without limitation, ambient air, surface
water, ground water, or land, or otherwise relating to the manufacture,
processing, distribution, use, treatment, storage, disposal, transport or
handling of pollutants, contaminants, petroleum or petroleum products, chemicals
or industrial, toxic or hazardous substances or wastes or the clean-up or other
remediation thereof. Presently, we do not have a requirement to obtain
any special environmental licenses or permits.

We may need to utilize the Deep Space Network on some of its
missions. The Deep Space Network is a United States funded network of large
antennas that supports interplanetary spacecraft missions and radio and radar
astronomy observations for the exploration of the solar system and the universe.
The network also supports selected Earth-orbiting missions. The network is a
facility of NASA, and is managed and operated for NASA by the Jet Propulsion
Laboratory. The Telecommunications and Mission Operations Directorate manages
the program within the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Coordination for the use of
this facility is arranged with the Telecommunications and Mission Operations
Command.

Also, as some of our projects with the Department of Defense
proceed, we may need special clearances to continue working on and
advancing our projects. Classified programs generally will require that

PAGE 53

we comply with various Executive Orders, Federal laws and regulations and
customer security requirements that may include specialized facilities and
restrictions on how we develop, store, protect and share information.
Laboratories, manufacturing and assembly areas, meeting spaces, office
areas, storage areas, computers systems and networks and telecommunications
systems may require modification or replacement in order to comply with customer
requirements. Classified programs may require our employees to obtain
government clearances and restrict our ability to have key employees work
on these programs until these clearances are received from the appropriate
United States government agencies. In order to staff these programs, we may
need to recruit personnel with the appropriate professional training, experience
and security clearances. There are a very limited number of individuals with all
of the requirements that we seek. There is no assurance that we can
locate and recruit these individuals in a timely and cost-effective manner.
We may be required to modify existing facilities and to develop new
facilities and capabilities that will only be utilized by these classified
programs. We may be required to install computer networks, communications
systems and monitoring systems that are dedicated to these classified programs.
Some or all of these requirements may entail substantial additional expense. It
is uncertain whether we will be able to recover any of the costs of these
systems from our customers. Many of these classified programs are
regulated by Executive Orders, various Federal laws and regulations and customer
requirements. Our failure to comply with any of the foregoing Executive
Orders, Federal laws and regulations and customer requirements could have
serious adverse effects. Also, our ability to successfully market and sell
into the Department of Defense markets may be severely hampered if we are
unable to meet classified program requirements. There is no assurance that
we will be able to pass successfully the criteria required in order to win
a classified program or to maintain current contracts, such as our Missile
Defense Agency contract (which may become classified), and there is no assurance
that we will maintain that status once it has been obtained. This year
we began an active program to complete the steps required in order to win
preliminary certification for classified programs. A number of our
employees have received preliminary and permanent security clearances.
We received preliminary certification for classified computer system
processing in early 2005, which was subsequently renewed in early 2006 .

EMPLOYEES

At May 1, 2006, we employed approximately 200 persons, full and
part-time, most of whom are spacecraft, propulsion, systems, mechanical and
electrical engineers, certified assembly, integration and test technicians and
other support personnel. We expect to hire other personnel as necessary
for completion of projects, product development, quality assurance, sales and
marketing, finance and administration. In addition, due to the nature of
our business, it may become necessary to lay off employees whose work is
no longer required to maintain operations in order to prevent cost overruns.
We do not have any collective bargaining agreements with
our employees and believe our relations with employees are good.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

We rely, in part, on patents, trade secrets and know-how to develop
and maintain its competitive position and technological advantage. We
have protected and intend to continue to protect our intellectual
property through a combination of patents, license agreements, trademarks,
service marks, copyrights, trade secrets and other methods of restricting
disclosure and transferring title. We have filed patent applications
relating to our hybrid propulsion and satellite technology. There can be
no assurance that these applications will be granted. We have and intend
to continue to enter into confidentiality agreements with our employees,
consultants and vendors, to enter into license agreements with third parties and
generally to seek to control access to and distribution of our
intellectual property.

In August 1998, we acquired rights to intellectual property
(including three patents and trade secrets) from an individual who had acquired
them from the former American Rocket Company, which specialized in hybrid rocket
technology. We are obligated to issue warrants to this individual to
purchase a minimum of 100,000 and a maximum of 3,000,000 shares of our
common stock over ten years beginning at the inception of the agreement,
depending on our annual revenues directly related to sales of hybrid
technology-based products from the original technology acquisition. To date,
we have issued warrants to purchase a total of 100,000 shares of
our common stock under the agreement, of which, none of the warrants have
been exercised and 25,000 warrants expired unexercised. We acquired some
of its expertise in hybrid propulsion technology from the American Rocket
Company; however, we are using our own technology to develop the
responsive, affordable SpaceDev Streaker(TM) small launch vehicle under an Air
Force contract.

INFORMATION REGARDING BUSINESS OF STARSYS

OVERVIEW

Starsys Research Corporation was acquired by us on January 31, 2006
in a tax-free forward triangular merge, renamed Starsys, Inc., and is
now a wholly-owned subsidiary of SpaceDev. Starsys is engaged in the
design and manufacture of mechanical and electromechanical subsystems and
components for spacecraft. Starsys' subsystems enable critical spacecraft
functions such as pointing solar arrays and communication antennas and
restraining, deploying and actuating of moving spacecraft components. Starsys
manufactures a wide range of products that include bi-axis gimbals, flat plate
gimbals, solar array pointing mechanisms, deployable booms, separation systems,
thermal louvers, actuators, restraint devices and cover systems. Starsys'
products are sold both as "off-the-shelf" catalog products which represent
previously qualified devices with spaceflight history, and as custom systems
that are developed for specific applications. Starsys' products are typically

PAGE 55

sold directly to spacecraft manufacturers. Starsys' customer base is segregated
into three major segments: (1) domestic and international commercial spacecraft
(communication and imaging satellites), (2) civil spacecraft (NASA) that are
primarily scientific in nature and (3) defense spacecraft that support the
United States' military capability. Starsys also offers products to non-space
customers, including aerospace, maritime, and industrial customers.

Starsys' engineering and manufacturing capabilities position the company to
provide both mechanical and electromechanical subsystems for spacecraft.
Starsys' strategy is to identify opportunities to develop products from custom
mechanical and electromechanical subsystems. To extend the product life cycle,
Starsys has developed and expanded this "product platforms" business model.
Product platforms are subsystems for which non-recurring and development
engineering has been retired and for which there is continued customer demand.
Starsys' product offerings currently include High Output Paraffin ("HOP")
actuators, hinges, battery bypass switches, thermal louvers, bi-axial gimbals
and solar array drives, among others. The product life cycle for this type of
product within the space industry is approximately 15 years.

HISTORY AND RECENT EVENTS

Starsys incorporated under the laws of Colorado in April 1988 as Helicon
Research Corporation. In May 1988, the company changed its name to Starsys
Research Corporation.

Starsys was founded as a provider of non-explosive HOP actuators for
spacecraft that replaced explosive actuators traditionally used for spacecraft
deployables. Through the early 1990's, Starsys became a supplier of mechanisms
based on this non-explosive, re-settable actuator technology and also expanded
from HOP actuator products to mechanical and electromechanical components.

In 2000, Starsys acquired the assets of American Technologies Consortium,
referred to as ATC, to meet the growing demand for electromechanical systems in
the spacecraft industry. This acquisition expanded Starsys' range of
electromechanical components, added a new line of electromechanical subsystems,
and enabled Starsys to develop additional high value products, including
bi-axial gimbals, "quiet drive" (QuAD) electronics controllers, and solar array
drives.

STARSYS PRODUCT MIX

Starsys targets two distinct markets, mechanical subsystems and
electromechanical subsystems. The mechanical subsystems market includes hinges,
latches, release mechanisms, and deployable structures and systems for
spacecraft and payloads. The electromechanical subsystems market includes
antenna pointing mechanisms, gimbals, solar array deployment actuators,
instrument mechanisms and actuators, and deployment and aperture mechanisms for
spacecraft and payloads. For 2005, Starsys' product mix was 72% mechanical
and 28% electromechanical by program count and approximately 32% mechanical and
approximately 68% electromechanical by program value.

COMPETITION

Starsys' competition varies by business segment and product areas. The
following summarizes principal organizations that compete with Starsys.

Mechanical subsystems range from customized hinges and latching devices to
cover systems and integrated structures for payloads, typically not requiring
customized, or Starsys-supplied, electromagnetic devices. Competition includes:
Alliance Spacesystems Inc. and Swales Aerospace. Starsys provides clamp band
systems for small satellite separations and deployable structures. Starsys
believes its primary competitor in the small satellite separations market is
Planetary Systems Inc. Starsys believes that the primary competitors in the
deployable structures market are ATK Space Systems (formerly AEC Able
Engineering), NGST Astro (formerly SPAR Astro Aerospace) and Harris Corporation.
Electromechanical subsystems range from motors and actuators (typically motors
with transmissions and various ancillary elements) to sophisticated systems that
incorporate control electronics for applications such as antenna and solar array
pointing, and instruments that sweep a pattern or actively track. We believe
that the competition for motors and actuators are MPC Products Corporation, CDA
Astro, Aeroflex (a subsidiary of UMTC), Moog Inc. and ATK Satellite Systems. As
these products become more specialized the competition may include Aeroflex,
MOOG and the Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp.

Some competitors of Starsys are also customers of SpaceDev.

PAGE 56

Starsys believes the alternatives for its restraint and release products
are pyrotechnic devices built by Hi-Shear and Pacific Scientific and
non-pyrotechnic products, supplied by NEA, TiNi Aerospace, and G&H Technologies.

Many of Starsys' competitors are larger and have substantially
greater resources than it does. Furthermore, it is possible that other
domestic or foreign companies or governments, some with greater experience in
the space and defense industry and many with greater financial resources than
Starsys possesses, will seek to provide products or services that compete
with its products or services. Any such foreign competitor could benefit
from subsidies from or other protective measures by its home country.

ENGINEERING AND DESIGN

In addition to its manufacturing operations, Starsys has a team of
experienced engineers focused on advanced engineering of mechanical and
electromechanical subsystems. The engineering group includes mechanical and
aerospace engineers, engineering technicians and designers. Areas of expertise
include mechanical and electromechanical subsystem design, analysis, test, and
program management.

QUALITY ASSURANCE AND TESTING

Starsys is ISO-9001 certified and AS9100 compliant. Starsys is currently
engaged in AS9100 certification.

Starsys utilizes test equipment that is calibrated and traceable to NBS
standards. Starsys also maintains access to certified suppliers for vibration,
shock and electromagnetic interference (EMI) testing.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Starsys invests in product-related research and development to conceive and
develop new products and to enhance existing products. Starsys' research and
development expenses totaled approximately $11,782,000 in the year ended
December 31, 2005, and $10,525,000 in the year ended December 31, 2004. In
addition, a large portion of Starsys' total new product development and
enhancement programs is funded under customer contracts.

PATENTS

Starsys relies, in part, on patents, trade secrets and know-how to develop
and maintain its competitive position and technological advantage, particularly
with respect to its launch vehicle and satellite products. Starsys holds U.S.
and foreign patents relating to release devices, deployable truss structures and
battery cell shorting mechanisms. The majority of Starsys' U.S. patents
relating to the noted technologies expire between 2019 and 2022.

COMPONENTS AND RAW MATERIALS

Starsys purchases a significant percentage of its product components,
structural assemblies and certain key satellite components and instruments from
third parties. Starsys also occasionally obtains from the U.S. government parts
and equipment that are used in the production of its products or in the
provision of its services. Generally, Starsys has not experienced material
difficulty in obtaining product components or necessary parts and equipment, and
believes that alternatives to its existing sources of supply are available,
although increased costs and possible delays could be incurred in securing
alternative sources of supply. Starsys relies upon sole source suppliers for
potentiometers, slip ring assemblies, specialized impellers, specialized heaters
and paraffin material. While alternative sources would be available, the
inability of any such supplier to provide Starsys with these items to qualified
specifications would result in an adverse effect on Starsys' ability to
manufacture its products.

CUSTOMERS

Starsys' business is focused on mechanical and electro-mechanical systems,
sub-systems and components that support assembly of spacecraft by our customers.
Those customers, primarily the Prime Contractors in the aerospace market,
support the government and commercial end users by integrating our products into
higher level assemblies and spacecraft. Lockheed Martin Companies, Boeing
Company, Northrop Grumman Space Technologies, ITT Industries, and Swales
Aerospace are prime contract customer, which have each accounted for 10% or more
of our consolidated revenues. Starsys has multiple contracts with each of these
customers and we do not believe any single customer contract is material to

PAGE 57

Starsys. The remainder of Starsys' business is with multiple customers that
support the Department of Defense through the prime contractors, and the
commercial spacecraft market, the civil spacecraft market, and NASA, including
through Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) grants and Long Term
Agreements (LTA's) with the prime contractors.

Starsys' business development process is generally competitive bid in
response to a request for proposal (RFP) that is generated by Starsys' potential
customers. These proposals have various bases, including firm fixed price, cost
plus fixed fee, and time and materials. Starsys typically prepares between ten
and twenty proposals in a given month and it usually has one to three weeks to
respond to the request.

These proposals are managed by product area. Starsys defines three specific
product areas for its business: electromechanical systems, which includes
motors, control, and logic, mechanical systems, which includes spring and
paraffin driven mechanisms as well as deployable structures, and catalog
products, which includes our release mechanisms, hinges and thermal control
devices. Starsys also executes on long term build to print contracts with some
of the prime contractors.

Starsys averages between 55 and 70 active programs at any time and the
average duration of its programs is 11 months, with programs as short as 60 days
and as long as 3 years. Currently this mix is approximately 70% in support of
governmental work, both open and classified, 20% commercial, and 10% with NASA,
but this mix changes frequently with new contract awards.

U.S. GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS

During 2005 and 2004, approximately 78% and 82%, respectively of
Starsys' total annual revenues were derived from contracts with the U.S.
government and its agencies or from subcontracts with other U.S. government
prime contractors.

Major contracts with the U.S. government primarily fall into two
categories: cost-reimbursable contracts and fixed-price contracts.
Approximately 9% of revenues from U.S. government contracts in 2005 were derived
from cost-reimbursable contracts and 91% of revenues from U.S. government
contracts were derived from fixed-price contracts. Under a cost-reimbursable
contract, Starsys recovers its actual allowable costs incurred, allocable
overhead costs and a fee consisting of a base amount that is fixed at the
inception of the contract and/or an award amount that is based on the customer's
evaluation of its performance in terms of the criteria stated in the contract.
Starsys' fixed-price contracts include fixed-price and fixed-price incentive fee
contracts. Under firm fixed-price contracts, work performed and products shipped
are paid for at a fixed price without adjustment for actual costs incurred in
connection with the contract. Therefore, Starsys bears the risk of loss due to
increased cost, although some of this risk may be passed on to subcontractors.
Fixed-price incentive fee contracts provide for sharing by Starsys and the
customer of unexpected costs incurred or savings realized within specified
limits, and may provide for adjustments in price depending on actual contract
performance other than costs. Costs in excess of the negotiated maximum
(ceiling) price and the risk of loss by reason of such excess costs are borne by
Starsys, although some of this risk may be passed on to subcontractors.

All of Starsys' U.S. government contracts and, in general, its subcontracts
with other U.S. government prime contractors provide that such contracts may be
terminated for convenience by the U.S. government or the prime contractor,
respectively. Furthermore, any of these contracts may become subject to a
government-issued stop work order under which Starsys would be required to
suspend production. In the event of a termination for convenience, contractors
generally are entitled to receive the purchase price for delivered items,
reimbursement for allowable costs for work in process and an allowance for
reasonable profit thereon or adjustment for loss if completion of performance
would have resulted in a loss. For a more detailed description of risks relating
to the U.S. government contract industry, see the "Risk Factors" section
beginning on page 7. Starsys derives a significant portion of its revenues
from U.S. government contracts.

REGULATION

Starsys' ability to pursue its business activities is regulated by
various agencies and departments of the U.S. government and, in certain
circumstances, the governments of other countries. Starsys' classified programs
require that it and certain employees maintain appropriate security clearances.
Starsys also requires licenses from the U.S. Department of State and the U.S.
Department of Commerce with respect to work Starsys does for foreign customers
or with foreign subcontractors.

PAGE 58

BACKLOG

Starsys' firm backlog was approximately $13.7 million at December 31, 2005
and approximately $10.6 million at December 31, 2004.

Starsys' firm backlog as of December 31, 2005 consisted entirely of
contracts with the U.S. government and its agencies or from subcontracts with
prime contractors of the U.S. government. Most of Starsys' government contracts
are funded incrementally on a year-to-year basis. Changes in government
policies, priorities or funding levels through agency or program budget
reductions by the U.S. Congress or executive agencies could materially adversely
affect the financial condition and results of operations of Starsys.

Furthermore, contracts with the U.S. government may be terminated or
suspended by the U.S. government at any time, with or without cause. Such
contract suspensions or terminations could result in unreimbursable expenses or
charges or otherwise adversely affect the business of Starsys.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS AND TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT ARRANGEMENTS AND CHANGE OF
CONTROL AGREEMENTS

On January 31, 2006, we entered into a three year executive
employment agreement with Scott Tibbitts, pursuant to which Mr. Tibbitts is
employed as our managing director. Under the agreement, Mr. Tibbitts
earns an annual base salary of $150,000 and will be eligible for quarterly
performance bonuses, as determined by our board of directors or
compensation committee, up to an annual aggregate amount of 50% of his base
salary. Bonus milestones will be mutually agreed upon in good faith by Mr.
Tibbitts and by our board of directors or compensation committee.
We will pay severance to Mr. Tibbitts if his employment is terminated by
us without cause or by Mr. Tibbitts for good reason. The severance payment
is equal to: (1) if Mr. Tibbitts' employment is terminated by us without
cause, his then-current base salary per month multiplied by the number of months
remaining in the term of the agreement (prorated with respect to any partial
month); or , (2) if Mr. Tibbitts' employment is terminated by Mr. Tibbitts
for good reason, his then-current base salary per month multiplied by the lesser
of twelve months and the number of months remaining in the term of the
agreement. Under the agreement, we will indemnify Mr. Tibbitts to the
extent provided in our articles of incorporation, as may be amended from
time to time, and pursuant to our standard indemnification agreement with
our officers and directors, provided that we will have no obligation
to indemnify or defend Mr. Tibbitts for any action, suit or other proceeding to
the extent based on acts, omissions, events or circumstances occurring prior to
the Starsys merger.

On January 31, 2006, we entered into an executive employment
agreement with Robert Vacek pursuant to which Mr. Vacek was employed as the
president of Starsys, Inc., a subsidiary of SpaceDev, Inc. The agreement has an
initial term of two years, and will be automatically renewed for a third year
unless either we or Mr. Vacek provides written notice of an intent not to
renew. Under the agreement, Mr. Vacek is entitled to receive (1) a base salary
of $17,000 per month, subject to adjustment up to $19,000 per month upon the
happening of certain events, (2) performance-based cash bonuses based on the
achievement of specific goals set forth in the agreement, and (3) an option to
purchase up to 825,000 shares of our common stock under the terms and
conditions of our 2004 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended. The option has
an exercise price equal to $1.46 per share, which was the closing sale price
reported on the OTCBB on the date of grant, and will expire upon the termination
of Mr. Vacek's continuous employment (as defined in the Plan). We will pay
severance to Mr. Vacek if his employment is terminated by us without cause
or by Mr. Vacek for good reason. The severance payment is equal to: (1) if Mr.
Vacek's employment is terminated by us without cause, his then-current
base salary per month multiplied by the greater of (A) 12 months and (B) the
number of months remaining in the term of the agreement (prorated with respect
to any partial month); or (2) if Mr. Vacek's employment is terminated by Mr.
Vacek for good reason, his then-current base salary per month multiplied by the
lesser of (A) 12 months and (B) the number of months remaining in the term of
the agreement provided that such number of months will not be deemed to be less
than six months. Under the agreement, we will indemnify Mr. Vacek to the
extent provided in our articles of incorporation, as may be amended from
time to time, to the maximum extent permitted by law and pursuant to
our standard indemnification agreement with our officers and
directors.

On January 31, 2006, we entered into a non-competition agreement with
Scott Tibbitts, pursuant to which Mr. Tibbitts will agree not to be employed by
or have any interest in an entity that engages in a similar business to Starsys
related to the aerospace industry for three years, shall not solicit any
business from any of our past or present customers, not solicit or
encourage any of our employees to leave or reduce his or her employment,
not to encourage a consultant under contract with us to cease or diminish
his or her work with us , not to use our intellectual property other

statements regarding SpaceDev to any third party. Mr. Tibbitts will receive
$100,000 annually each year he abides by the covenant not to compete.

On December 20, 2005, we entered into an executive employment
agreement with Mark N. Sirangelo pursuant to which Mr. Sirangelo was employed as
our chief executive officer and vice chairman effective December 30,
2005. The agreement has an initial term of two years, and will be automatically
renewed for a third year unless either we or Mr. Sirangelo provides
written notice of an intent not to renew. Under the agreement, Mr. Sirangelo is

PAGE 65

entitled to receive (1) a base salary of $22,500 per month, subject to
adjustment up to $27,500 per month upon the happening of certain events, (2)

forth in the agreement (including a bonus of $25,000 upon the completion of the
merger with Starsys), and (3) a fully-vested option to purchase up to 1,900,000
shares of our common stock under the terms and conditions of a non-plan
stock option agreement between us and Mr. Sirangelo. The option has an

reported on the OTCBB on the date of grant, and will expire five years after the
date of grant. Some of the shares subject to the option are subject to sale
restrictions that expire upon the achievement of certain specific milestones or
four years from the date of grant, whichever comes first. Subject to certain
limitations, the option may be exercised by means of a net exercise provision by
surrendering shares with a fair market value equal to the exercise price upon
exercise. We will pay severance to Mr. Sirangelo if his employment is
terminated by us without cause or by Mr. Sirangelo for good reason. The
severance payment is equal to: (1) if Mr. Sirangelo's employment is terminated
by us without cause, his then-current base salary per month multiplied by
the greater of (A) 12 months and (B) the number of months remaining in the term
of the agreement (prorated with respect to any partial month); or (2) if Mr.
Sirangelo's employment is terminated by Mr. Sirangelo for good reason, his

agreement, we will indemnify Mr. Sirangelo to the extent provided in
our articles of incorporation, as may be amended from time to time, to
the maximum extent permitted by law and pursuant to our standard
indemnification agreement with our officers and directors.

On December 20, 2005, we entered into an amended and restated
executive employment agreement with Richard B. Slansky pursuant to which Mr.
Slansky is employed as our president and chief financial officer. The
agreement supersedes in full the employment agreement dated February 10, 2003

Mr. Slansky. The option has an exercise price equal to $1.40 per share, which
was the closing sale price reported on the OTCBB on the date of grant, and will
expire five years after the date of grant. Some of the shares subject to the
options are subject to sale restrictions that expire upon the achievement of
certain specific milestones or four years from the date of grant, whichever

On December 20, 2005, we entered into an executive employment

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

In 1999, SpaceDev adopted an Incentive Employee Stock Option Plan
under which the Board of Directors had the ability to grant our
employees, directors and affiliates Incentive Stock Options, non-statutory stock
options and other forms of stock-based compensation, including bonuses or stock
purchase rights. Incentive Stock Options, which provide for preferential tax
treatment, are only available to employees, including officers and affiliates,
and may not be issued to non-employee directors. The exercise price of the
Incentive Stock Options must be 100% of the fair market value of the stock (110%
for holders of 10% or more of our outstanding voting stock) on the date
the option is granted. Pursuant to the 1999 Stock Option Plan, the exercise
price for the non-statutory stock options may not be less than 85% of the fair
market value of the stock on the date the option is granted. SpaceDev is
required to reserve an amount of common shares equal to the number of shares
which may be purchased as a result of awards made under the Plan at any time.

In 2000, we amended the 1999 Stock Option Plan, increasing
the number of shares eligible for issuance under the plan to 30% of the then
outstanding common stock and allowing the Board of Directors to make annual
adjustments to the plan to maintain a 30% ratio to outstanding common stock at
each annual meeting of the Board of Directors. The Board, at its annual meetings
in 2001 and 2002, made no adjustment, as a determination was made that the
number of shares then available under the Plan was sufficient to meet our
then current needs. The 1999 Stock Option Plan is no longer available for new
grants but continues to govern outstanding options awarded under such plan.

In 2004, we adopted the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan. The 2004
Equity Incentive Plan authorized and reserved for issuance under the plan
2,000,000 shares of our common stock. Options granted under the
plan may be Incentive Stock Options or non-statutory stock options, as
determined by the Board of Directors or a committee appointed by the Board of
Directors at the time of grant. Limited rights and stock awards may also be
granted under the plan. As of December 31, 2005, 8,184,698 shares were
authorized for issuance under the 1999 Stock Option Plan and the 2004 Equity
Incentive Plan, 4,706,460 of which are currently subject to outstanding options
and awards.
PAGE 67

In addition to the 1999 Stock Option Plan and the 2004 Equity Incentive
Plan, we have adopted an Employee Stock Purchase Plan, which authorized
our Board of Directors to make twelve consecutive offerings of
our common stock to our employees. The first shares of
common stock were issued under the Plan in February 2004 and shares are issued
on every six-month anniversary thereafter. The 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan
expired by its terms in June 2005; however, the Board of Directors authorized a
one-year extension of the plan at its meeting in November 2004, in order to
enable the Compensation Committee to review the value of the plan to employees
and the desire for its continuance.

On December 20, 2005, we approved the accelerated vesting of all
unvested stock options held by our officers, directors, employees, and
consultants, effective December 20, 2005. The primary purpose of the accelerated
vesting is to eliminate future stock-based employee compensation expense
we would otherwise recognize in its consolidated statement of operations
with respect to the accelerated options once FASB Statement No. 123R
(Share-Based Payment) becomes effective. The estimated maximum future expense
that is eliminated is approximately $5 million.

At the special meeting of our stockholders held on January 30, 2006, we
sought and obtained approval from our stockholders to increase the amount of
shares of common stock available for award under our 2004 Equity Incentive Plan
by 3,000,000 shares. This increase was obtained to provide sufficient reserves
for the issuance of options to Starsys officers and key employees as part of our
acquisition of Starsys.

SpaceDev also offers a variety of health, dental, vision, 401(k) and life
insurance benefits to employees in conjunction with SpaceDev's co-employment
partner, Administaff.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

James W. Benson, our chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief
Technology Officer, and Susan Benson, our former Corporate Secretary and
currently a Director, are married but separated. Mr. Benson has personally
guaranteed the building lease on our facility and has pledged his home in
Poway, California as collateral for the guarantee.

From October 14, 2002 through November 14, 2002, we sold an aggregate
of $475,000 of 2.03% convertible debentures to James W. Benson ($375,000),
Stuart Schaffer ($50,000), and Emery Skarupa ($50,000). The total funding was
completed on November 14, 2002. The convertible debentures entitled the holder
to convert the principal and unpaid accrued interest into our common stock
when the convertible debentures matured. The convertible debentures originally
were set to mature six months from issue date and were subsequently extended to
twelve months from issue date on March 19, 2003. The convertible debentures were
exercisable into a number of our common shares at a conversion price of
$0.37 to $0.42 per share. Concurrent with the issuance of the convertible
debentures, we issued to the subscribers, warrants to purchase up to
1,229,705 shares of our common stock. These warrants were exercisable for
three years from the date of issuance at the initial exercise price. On
September 5, 2003, we repaid one-half of the convertible debentures, with
the condition that the holders would convert the other half. Also, as a
condition of the partial repayment, the holders were required to relinquish
one-half of the previously issued warrants. Finally, as additional consideration
for the transaction, the holders were offered 5% interest on their convertible
debentures, rather than the stated 2.03%. All the holders accepted the offer and
the convertible debentures were retired. Of the 614,852 remaining warrants, all
were exercised in 2004 and none remained outstanding at December 31, 2004.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

The descriptions in this section and in other sections of this prospectus
of our securities and various provisions of our articles of incorporation and
our bylaws are limited solely to descriptions of the material terms of our
securities, articles of incorporation and bylaws. Our articles of incorporation
and bylaws have been incorporated by reference as exhibits to this registration
statement of which this prospectus forms a part. Our authorized capital stock
consists of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and
10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share. As of May
1, 2006, 28,813,334 shares of our common stock were issued and outstanding.
This excludes an aggregate of approximately 19.0 million shares of common stock
reserved for issuance upon exercise of stock options and warrants and upon the
conversion of preferred stock.

COMMON STOCK

Each outstanding share of common stock is entitled to one vote. Except as
may be required by Section 2115 of the California General Corporation Law, the
holders of our common stock do not have cumulative voting rights, which
means that the holders of more than 50% of such outstanding shares voting for
the election of directors can elect all of our directors, if they so
choose.

Holders of common stock are not entitled to any preemptive rights. Holders
of common stock are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared by the
directors out of funds legally available therefore and to share pro rata in any
distributions to holders of common stock upon liquidation or otherwise. However,
we have not paid cash dividends on our common stock, and do not
expect to pay such dividends in the foreseeable future. No dividends may be paid
on common stock unless all dividends due on our outstanding Series C
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (described below) have been paid. The
terms of Our Series D-1 Preferred Stock (described below) prohibit
us from paying cash dividends on our common shares.

TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR

Our transfer agent and registrar for the common stock is Continental
Stock Transfer and Trust, 17 Battery Place, 8th Floor, New York, NY 10004.
Corporate Stock Transfer can be contacted via telephone at (212) 845-3215.

SERIES C PREFERRED STOCK

Set forth below is a summary of the relative rights, preferences and
limitations of our Series C Preferred Stock, which we refer to as
the Series C Preferred Stock, as set forth in the Certificate to Set Forth
Designations, Voting Powers, Preferences, Limitations, Restrictions and Relative
Rights of the Series C Preferred, $0.001 Par Value Per Share, which we refer to

PAGE 72

as the Series C Certificate of Designations. We issued 250,000 shares of Series
C Preferred Stock to Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. on August 25, 2004, at a stated
value of $10.00 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $2,500,000.
248,460 shares of Series C Preferred Stock are outstanding as of the date of
this prospectus.

Dividend Rights. The shares of Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to
receive quarterly, cumulative dividends at a rate of 6.85%. Subject to certain
limitations, dividends are payable in cash or in shares of common stock at the
holder's option. Dividends must be paid in shares of common stock for up to 25%
of the aggregate dollar trading volume if the fair market value of the common
stock for the 20 days preceding the conversion date exceeds 120% of the "Fixed
Conversion Price" (defined below). Each series of Series D-1 Preferred
Stock (described below) will rank pari passu to the Series C Preferred Stock
with respect to the payment of dividends.

We accrued dividends on our Series C Preferred Stock from August 25, 2004
through December 31, 2004 of approximately $61,000 and approximately $171,000
for the year ended December 31, 2005. The original accrued dividends of $61,000
became payable in January 2005 and were converted into shares of our common
stock at a conversion rate of $1.54 per share. Approximately $114,000 of the
2005 accrued dividends was satisfied by the issuance of our common stock during
the twelve-months ended December 31, 2005. We also paid dividends of
approximately $98,900 on our Series C Preferred Stock on April 1, 2006. Payment
of future dividends on our Series C Preferred Stock may be in cash or shares of
common stock, provided that the payment of cash dividends on the Series C
Preferred Stock is prohibited in the event of our noncompliance with our
obligations under the certificate of designations for any series of Series D
Preferred Stock.

Conversion Rights. Each share of the Series C Preferred Stock is
convertible at any time into shares of our common stock at the "Fixed
Conversion Price" (initially $1.54), subject to adjustments for stock splits,
combinations and dividends and for shares of common stock issued for less than
the Fixed Conversion Price (unless exempted pursuant to the terms of the
agreements governing the Series C Preferred Stock). The foregoing rights of
conversion are also subject to a limitation that no holder of Series C Preferred
Stock is, for purposes of the federal securities laws, deemed to beneficially
own more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of SpaceDev common stock. A
holder of Series C Preferred Stock may waive this limitation with 75 days
notice.

Voting Rights. The shares of Series C Preferred Stock have no voting
rights, but must consent to the issuance by us of any securities ranking
senior or pari passu to the Series C Preferred Stock.

Redemption Rights. If (1) the shares of common stock underlying the shares
of Series C Preferred Stock (and the shares subject of common stock underlying a
warrant issued to Laurus contemporaneously with the Series C Preferred Stock)
are not registered for resale on a registration statement declared effective by
the SEC, or if a registration statement previously declared effective by the SEC
for the resale of such shares is no longer effective, and (2) the closing market
price of our common stock for any of the 22 trading days immediately
preceding a redemption payment date does not exceed the then applicable Fixed
Conversion Price by at least 15%, then we may redeem the shares of Series
C Preferred Stock in whole or in part at any time for 115% of the stated value
of each share of the Series C Preferred Stock (together with accrued and unpaid
dividends and other sums due thereon).

If (1) the shares of common stock underlying the shares of Series C
Preferred Stock (and the shares subject of common stock underlying a warrant
issued to Laurus contemporaneously with the Series C Preferred Stock) are
registered for resale on a registration statement declared effective by the SEC,
and (2) the closing market price of SpaceDev common stock for each of the 22
trading days immediately preceding a redemption payment date exceeds the then
applicable Fixed Conversion Price by at least 15%, then we may redeem the
shares of Series C Preferred Stock in whole or in part at any time for 100% of
the stated value of each share of the Series C Preferred Stock (together with
accrued and unpaid dividends and other sums due thereon), subject to a
limitation that the number of shares redeemed may not exceed 50% of the
aggregate dollar trading volume of our common stock during the 22 trading
days preceding the applicable notice of redemption.

Conversion Price Adjustments. The Fixed Conversion Price of the Series C
Preferred Stock is automatically reduced and reset by certain issuances of
our equity securities at a price per share (or equivalent price per
share) of our common stock less than such Fixed Conversion Price, the
payment by us of certain dividends and distributions, and the occurrence
of certain merger, reclassification, asset sale, liquidation and other corporate
events. The Fixed Conversion Price for the Series C Preferred Stock will not be
adjusted in the event of the declaration of any dividends or distributions on
the shares of any series of Series D-1 Preferred Stock.

Liquidation Preference. The Series C Preferred Stock has a liquidation
preference equal to the then stated value (currently $10.00 per share) of the
then outstanding Series C Preferred Stock. As a result, the holders of the
Series C Preferred Stock will receive a distribution out of assets upon
liquidation equal to the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock then
outstanding multiplied by $10.00 before the holders of our common stock
will be entitled to any distribution. Each series of Series D Preferred Stock
will rank pari passu to the Series C Preferred Stock upon liquidation.

PAGE 73

The summary of the relative rights, preferences and privileges of the
Series C Preferred Stock set forth above does not purport to be complete and is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the Series C Certificate of
Designations, which was filed as Exhibit 3.1 to the current report on Form 8-K
filed by us with the SEC on August 30, 2004.

SERIES D-1 PREFERRED STOCK

Set forth below is a summary of the relative rights, preferences and
limitations of the SpaceDev Series D-1 Preferred Stock as set forth in
the Certificate to Set Forth Designations, Voting Powers, Preferences,
Limitations, Restrictions and Relative Rights of the Series D-1 Amortizing
Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock, $0.001 Par Value per Share, which we
refer to as the Series D-1 Certificate of Designations. We issued 5,150
shares of Series D-1 Preferred Stock to a limited number of institutional
accredited investors on January 13, 2006, as described in "Acquisition of
Securities by Selling Shareholders - January 2006 Private Placement." No other
shares of Series D Preferred Stock are outstanding as of the date of this
prospectus.

Under the purchase agreement described under the caption "Acquisition of
Securities by Selling Shareholders - January 2006 Private Placement" above,
we may be obligated to file additional certificates of designation which
will be substantially similar to the Series D Certificate of Designations,
except as to the issue date and number of authorized shares in the series. We
refer to all of the foregoing certificates of designations as the Series D
Certificates of Designations. All series are substantially the same in all
respects except for the issue date and the number of authorized shares in the
series; in addition, the Series D-1 Preferred Stock, but no other series of
Series D Preferred Stock, includes an explicit reference to the amendment of the
SpaceDev Series C Preferred Stock, and the original issue date for all series of
Series D Preferred Stock is based on the original issue date of the Series D-1
Preferred Stock.

Dividend Rights. Holders of the Series D-1 Preferred Stock are
entitled to receive cumulative preferential dividends at the annual rate per
share (as a percentage of the stated value per share, which is initially
$1,000), which we refer to as the dividend rate, equal to LIBOR (as determined
for each calendar quarter) for the applicable dividend period plus 4.0% on a
quarterly basis. On the six month anniversary of the issue date of any series of
Series D Preferred Stock, the dividend rate will be increased to 15% per annum
per share with respect to any portion of outstanding shares of the Series D
Preferred Stock not redeemed pursuant to our monthly redemption option
(described in the paragraph "Redemption Rights" below); and commencing at the
beginning of the 37th month of the issue date of the series of Series D
Preferred Stock, the dividend rate will be increased to the greater of LIBOR
plus 10% per annum and 15% per annum. These dividends may be paid in cash or, at
our option, if the equity conditions described below have been satisfied,
in shares of our common stock, with each share being valued at
approximately 89% of its fair market value.

We first issued shares of Series D-1 Preferred Stock on January 13,
2006. We paid our first dividends of approximately $98,700 for the Series D-1
Preferred Stock on March 31, 2006.

Conversion Rights. A holder of a share of the Series D-1 Preferred
Stock may convert the share at any time into a number of shares of our
common stock determined by dividing the current stated value of the share
(initially $1,000) by the conversion price (initially $1.48). We also
have the option, subject to certain requirements, of forcing a conversion of
the shares of the Series D-1 Preferred Stock, at the same conversion
rate, if, after 24 months from the issue date of the Series D-1 Preferred Stock,
the volume weighted average price for each trading day in any 20 consecutive
trading day period exceeds the then conversion price by 250%. If we fail
to deliver share certificates for converted shares in a timely manner, the
holder may cover a short sale of those shares in the market and we will be
obligated to pay the holder the difference between the cover price and the prior
sale price of those shares. In addition, we have the right to force a
conversion of any series of Series D Preferred Stock anytime after the two-year
anniversary of the issue date of that series if all of the equity conditions
have been satisfied and the volume-weighted average price of our common
stock for each of 20 consecutive trading days exceeds 2.5 times the current
conversion price (initially $1.48). The foregoing rights of conversion are
subject to a limitation that no holder of Series D-1 Preferred Stock is,
for purposes of the federal securities laws, deemed to beneficially own more
than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of our common stock or, if the holder
waives this limit with 61 days notice, more than 9.99% of the outstanding shares
of our common stock.

Voting Rights. The Series D-1 Preferred Stock has no general voting
rights, but the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series
D-1 Preferred Stock must vote in favor of or consent to certain corporate
actions, including:

- changing the relative rights, preferences or limitations of the applicable
series of Series D-1 Preferred Stock;

- authorizing or issuing any securities that are pari passu or senior to
the applicable series of Series D-1 Preferred Stock, other than other
series of Series D Preferred Stock permitted by the financing documents;

PAGE 74

- amending our articles of incorporation in a manner which adversely
affects the rights of any holder of shares of Series D-1 Preferred Stock
or amending our bylaws in a manner which materially and adversely affects
any rights of any holder of shares of Series D-1 Preferred Stock;

- increasing of the authorized number of shares of the applicable series of
Series D-1 Preferred Stock;

- incurring or guaranteeing any indebtedness by us or any of
our subsidiaries, other than for specified permitted indebtedness;

- creating or suffering to exist any lien on our property or the
property of any of its subsidiaries, other than for specified permitted liens;

- designating any class or series of capital stock having any rights or
preferences senior or pari passu with the Series D-1 Preferred Stock,
other than additional series of Series D-1 Preferred Stock;

- redeeming, repurchasing or acquiring any shares of our common stock
or equivalent securities or junior securities;

- issuing any variable-priced securities or entering into any variable-rate
transaction; or

- paying dividends or other distributions on our shares of junior
securities or common stock, other than ordinary dividends on pari passu
securities if no dividends or other payments are past due on any series of
Series D-1 Preferred Stock.

Liquidation Preferences. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of
SpaceDev, the holders of the Series D-1 Preferred Stock are entitled to
receive from the assets available for distribution to shareholders, for each
share of the Series D-1 Preferred Stock, an amount equal to the current
stated value per share (initially $1,000), plus any accrued and unpaid dividends
thereon and any other fees or liquidated damages owing thereon, before any
distribution or payment may be made to any other holders of our capital
stock, other than other pari passu shares (including the Series C Preferred
Stock). If the assets available for distribution to shareholders are
insufficient to pay the liquidation preferences of all shares of Series
D-1 Preferred Stock and other pari passu shares, then each holder of
shares of Series D-1 Preferred Stock and/or pari passu shares will
receive a percentage of the assets available for distribution equal to (1) the
full amount that would otherwise be payable to that holder upon liquidation,
dissolution or winding-up of SpaceDev, divided by (2) the full amount that would
be otherwise be payable to all holders of any series of Series D Preferred Stock
or any pari passu stock upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of SpaceDev.

Redemption Rights. We have the option of redeeming shares of Series
D Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, for cash upon 20 trading days notice if
the equity conditions described below (other than the volume and share price
condition) have been satisfied and we are not participating in a change in
control transaction. The redemption price equals the current stated value of the
shares, multiplied by 115%, if prior to the nine month anniversary of the issue
date of the shares, or 110%, if thereafter but prior to the 24 month anniversary
of that issue date, plus accrued and unpaid dividends and other amounts due on
the shares. On and after the 24 month anniversary of the issue date, the
redemption price is equal to 100% of the current stated value of the shares,
plus accrued and unpaid dividends and other amounts due on the shares. We
may also redeem all the shares of Series D-1 Preferred Stock for cash
equal to the stated value of such shares (plus all accrued and unpaid dividends
and other amounts due on such shares) if we are required to reclassify
all of the value of the applicable series of Series D-1 Preferred Stock
as a liability on our balance sheet. If we send a redemption
notice, a holder of shares of Series D-1 Preferred Stock may elect to
convert those shares pursuant to its conversion rights described above before
the redemption becomes effective. If a change of control transaction occurs
within six months of a redemption that occurs within 24 months following the
issue date, the holder of the redeemed shares will be entitled to receive any
additional compensation the holder would have received had those shares been
redeemed due to the change in control transaction, as described below.

In addition, on each monthly anniversary of the issue date of any series of
Series D Preferred Stock, following the six month anniversary of that issue
date, we may elect to redeem in part each share of that series of Series D
Preferred Stock, in an amount equal to the quotient of 1/54 of the aggregate
stated value of the shares of that series on such date, which we refer to in
each case as the monthly optional redemption amount. SpaceDev may pay this
amount in cash or, subject to satisfaction of the equity conditions, with a
number of shares of SpaceDev common stock equal to 1.12 times the monthly
optional redemption amount, divided by the volume weighted average price of
our common stock for the ten trading days immediately preceding the
monthly redemption date. Such a partial redemption will decrease the stated
value of each share of the applicable series of Series D-1 Preferred
Stock by an amount per share equal to the monthly optional redemption amount
divided by the number of then outstanding shares of that series. If we do
not redeem a part of any series of Series D Preferred Stock which we have
the right to redeem, the dividend rate on that portion will increase to not less
than 15%, as described above.

We are also required to redeem the shares of Series D-1
Preferred Stock upon the occurrence of a triggering event other than a change in
control transaction at a price equal to the sum of greater of (x) 130% and (y)
the volume weighted average price of its common stock on the trading date
preceding the triggering event divided by the conversion price, multiplied by
the stated value of the shares, plus all accrued but unpaid dividends and other
amounts due on the shares. In the event of a change in control transaction, the
redemption price equals 130% of the stated value of the shares.

PAGE 75

Conversion Price Adjustments. The conversion price of the shares of Series
D-1 Preferred Stock will be appropriately adjusted in the event of stock
dividends, stock splits, reverse stock splits or reclassifications, or specified
pro rata asset distributions, affecting our common stock. The stock into
which the shares of Series D-1 Preferred Stock can be converted and the
conversion price will also be adjusted upon the occurrence of a fundamental
transaction (a merger or consolidation of SpaceDev, the sale of all or
substantially all of our assets, a successful tender or exchange offer
affecting our common stock, or a reclassification of our common
stock).

Equity Conditions. Our right to take certain actions under the Series
D-1 Preferred Stock, including our option to redeem shares of
Series D-1 Preferred Stock, to force the conversion of a series of Series
D-1 Preferred Stock, to make optional monthly redemptions of shares of
Series D Preferred Stock in shares of its common stock in lieu of cash or to pay
dividends on shares of Series D-1 Preferred Stock in shares of
our common stock in lieu of cash, depend on the following conditions being
satisfied, which we refer to as the equity conditions:

- We have complied with specified obligations to holders of shares of
Series D-1 Preferred Stock, including honoring all conversions and paying

share (subject to adjustment); and

- No fundamental transaction or change in control transaction is pending or
proposed.

Triggering Events. For purposes of the Series D-2 Certificates of
Designations, a triggering event is defined as the occurrence of any of the
following events:

- After the issuance of shares of a new series of Series D Preferred
Stock, a registration statement required by the registration rights agreement to
cover the shares of common stock issuable on account of that series does not
become effective within 120 days of the issue date of those shares;

- Any registration statement required to be effective under the registration
rights agreement is unavailable for more than 45 days during any 12-month
period, or a holder may not resell its securities under the registration

review of our registration statement or periodic reports;

"BLANK CHECK" PREFERRED STOCK

The term "blank check" refers to preferred stock, the creation and issuance
of which is authorized in advance by the shareholders and the terms, rights and
features of the series of which are determined by our board of directors from
time to time. The authorization of this blank check preferred stock permits our
board of directors to authorize and issue preferred stock from time to time in
one or more series. Subject to our articles of incorporation, and the
limitations prescribed by law or any stock exchange or national securities
association trading system on which our securities may then be listed, the board
of directors is expressly authorized, at its discretion, to adopt resolutions to
issue shares, to fix the number of shares and to change the number of shares
constituting any series and to provide for or change the voting powers,
designations, preferences, and relative, participating, optional or other
special rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, in each
case without any further action or vote by the shareholders. Our board of
directors is required to make any determination to issue shares of preferred
stock based on its judgment as to the best interests of our company and its
shareholders.

EXISTING ANTI-TAKEOVER MECHANISMS

Our articles of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that may
make it less likely that our management would be changed, or someone would
acquire voting control of us, without the consent of our board of directors.
These provisions include:

- Shares of our authorized but unissued "blank check" preferred stock (as
well as shares of our authorized but unissued common stock) could be issued in
an effort to dilute the stock ownership and voting power of persons seeking to
obtain control of our company, or could be issued to purchasers who would
support our board of directors in opposing an unsolicited takeover proposal;

- Our shareholders are only allowed to take actions by unanimous written
consent, other than actions taken at a duly noticed meeting of shareholders;

- The occurrence of a change of control transaction affecting us would be a
triggering event under the Series D Certificates of Designations requiring us
to redeem shares of Series D-1 Preferred Stock at a premium to stated
value; and

- Our board of directors may increase the number of directors and may fill
the vacancies created by such action.

Other than as described above, there are no anti-takeover mechanisms
present in our governing documents or otherwise, and we have no
present plans or proposals to adopt other provisions or enter into other
arrangements that may have material anti-takeover consequences.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS

HOW THE PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS WERE PREPARED

The following unaudited pro forma combined financial statements give effect
to the merger of SpaceDev and Starsys using the purchase method of accounting,
as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 141, "Business
Combinations." We legally acquired Starsys and will be viewed for accounting
purposes as the "accounting acquirer." Under this method of accounting, the
combined company will allocate the purchase price to the fair value of assets of
Starsys deemed to be acquired, including identifiable intangible assets and
goodwill. The purchase price allocation is subject to revision when the combined
company obtains additional information regarding asset valuation. The unaudited
pro forma combined financial statements are based on respective historical
consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes of SpaceDev, and
those of Starsys included herein.

The unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations for the years
ended December 31, 2004 and 2005 assume the merger took place on January 1,
2004. The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet assumes the merger took
place on December 31, 2005. The unaudited pro forma combined statement of
operations for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2005 combines our
historical statement of operations for the years ended December 31, 2004 and
2005 with Starsys' historical statement of operations for the years ended
December 31, 2004 and 2005.

THESE PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS HAVE BEEN BASED ON ASSUMPTIONS

The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements data is based on
estimates and assumptions described in the notes to them. This data is presented
for information purposes only and is not intended to represent or be indicative
of our consolidated results of operations or financial condition that would have
been reported had the merger been completed as of the dates presented, and
should not be taken as representative of our future consolidated results of
operations or financial condition.

YOU SHOULD READ THESE PRO FORMA UNAUDITED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS IN
CONJUNCTION WITH EACH COMPANY'S HISTORICAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the related notes included in our Form 10-KSB filed on March
28, 2006 and our consolidated audited financial statements. The unaudited pro
forma combined financial statements are not necessarily indicative of what the
actual results of operations and financial position would have been had the
merger taken place on January 1, 2004 and do not indicate future results of
operations or financial position.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS

The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States after eliminating all material intercompany accounts and
transactions. The acquisition of Starsys is being accounted for under the
purchase method of accounting.

The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial statements shown
above do not reference the closing considerations to Starsys Research
Corporation at January 31, 2006, the date of closing, and do not take into
consideration the adjustments that were made. The Audited Financial Statements
for the period ending December 31, 2005 show that there was no working capital
adjustment made to the original stock and cash considerations of $9.0 million.

The purchase price of Starsys was approximately $9.0 million and is
proposed to be allocated as follows:

DOLLARS
-------------
Current, tangible and identifiable intangible assets $ 8,302,199
Liabilities assumed. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (13,793,284)
---------------------------------------------------- -------------
Net assets . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (5,491,085)
Implied Intangibles/Goodwill . . . . . . . . . . . . 14,491,085
---------------------------------------------------- -------------
Total purchase consideration . . . . . . . . . . . . $ 9,000,000
---------------------------------------------------- -------------

Comprised of:
Cash . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ 1,500,000
Stock consideration. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 7,500,000
---------------------------------------------------- -------------
Total purchase consideration . . . . . . . . . . . . $ 9,000,000
---------------------------------------------------- -------------
---------------------------------------------------- -------------

Under the terms of the agreement and in accordance with SFAS No. 141, for
accounting purposes, we have been deemed to be the acquirer. The cash and
stock consideration has been calculated by taking the outstanding common shares
of Starsys as of December 31, 2005, of approximately 520,000 shares of common
stock, and dividing it into the $9.0 million in cash and our equity. This
calculation results in a purchase consideration greater than the net book value
of Starsys as of December 31, 2005. This difference has been reflected as an
increase in the carrying value of our acquired intangible assets. At this time,
the combined Company has not completed an independent valuation and the
allocation of the purchase price has not been completed. Thus, these numbers do
not include the effects, if any; of adjustments that might result from the
amortization of any potential identifiable intangible assets (separate from
goodwill). The purchase price was reduced due to a working capital adjustment of
approximately $2.3 million which is not reflected above. In addition, the
purchase price excludes any reorganization costs. For purposes of this
presentation, the purchase price excludes the impact of any value attributable
to assumed stock options as their value was not deemed to be material based on
the value of the consideration to be issued in the merger. There were
approximately 558,000 shares of Starsys common stock outstanding at January 31,
2006.

THE FOLLOWING PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS HAVE BEEN RECORDED TO REFLECT THE
ACQUISITION:

Combined Consolidated Balance Sheet-adjustments to reflect the acquisition
that occurred on January 31, 2006.

(a) The issuance of approximately 5.4 million of our common shares, and
options for the issued and outstanding common stock and outstanding options of
Starsys, at a total value of $7.5 million. Our common shares increase by
approximately $500 and additional paid in capital increased by approximately
$7.5 million.

PAGE 84

(b) Elimination of Starsys pre-acquisition shareholders' equity, as
follows:

DOLLARS
------------------------------ -----------
Common stock . . . . . . . $ (522)
Additional paid-in capital (69,387)
Accumulated deficit. . . . 5,560,994
------------------------------ -----------
$5,491,085
------------------------------ -----------
------------------------------ -----------

(c) Excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair value
of the net tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets acquired. This
excess has been recorded in the pro forma statements as an increase in the
carrying value of the acquired intangible assets of Starsys. The final figure
for intangibles and/or goodwill will be increased by any reduction in net assets
at the date of closure of the acquisition and by the reorganization costs which
will be incurred as a result of the transaction.

(d) Elimination of approximately $4.6 million of short term debt of Starsys
as required by the Agreement and Plan of Merger. Also, the forgiveness of
approximately $1.3 million of notes receivable and applicable fees from us to
Starsys also based on the Agreement and Plan of Merger.

(e) Cash consideration at close of $1.5 million to Starsys and Starsys
shareholders by us. The actual allocation of the purchase price will not occur
until the closing and will be based on the respective fair values of the assets
and liabilities of Starsys at that time.

(f) For approximately $153,440 of the pro forma adjustment in current
assets represents the release of the $120,000 fee on the Bridge Loan as well as
the payment of loan premium to Starsys shareholders at close and accrued
interest on the Bridge Loan to date.

(g) Represent remaining debt in the amount of $259,912 for the remaining
short term notes payable in which Starsys will pay at time of closing.

The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated information reflects our best
estimates; however the actual financial position and results of operations may
differ from the pro forma amounts reflected herein because of various factors,
including, without limitation, access to additional information, changes in
value and changes in operating results between the date of preparation of the
unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial information and the date on
which the acquisition closed. However, in the opinion of management any final
adjustments will not be material to our future financial position and/or results
of operations.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of SpaceDev, Inc. ("the
Company") include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary, Starsys,
Inc. and its inactive subsidiary SpaceDev Oklahoma, an Oklahoma corporation.
In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements reflect all
normal and recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair presentation of
the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows as
of the dates and for the periods presented. The consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information. Consequently, these statements
do not include all disclosures normally required by generally accepted
accounting principles of the United States of America for annual financial
statements nor those normally made in an Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.
Accordingly, reference should be made to the Company's Form 10-KSB filed on
March 28, 2006 and other reports the Company filed with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission for additional disclosures, including a summary of
the Company's accounting policies, which have been modified, as a result of
the Company's acquisition of Starsys Research Corporation, to include a
"percentage-of-completion" method of revenue recognition and inventory policies.
The consolidated results of operations for the three-months ending March 31,
2006 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the
fiscal year ending December 31, 2006 or any future period, and the Company
makes no representations related thereto.

On March 31, 2004, the Company was awarded a contract from the Missile Defense
Agency for approximately $43.3 million. The microsatellite distributed sensing
experiment was intended to analyze, design, develop, fabricate, integrate, test,
operate and support a networked cluster of three formation-flying boost phase
and midcourse tracking microsatellites and a second cluster of microsatellites
with laser communication technology to support national missile defense. We were
informed in 2005 that the Missile Defense Agency had re-routed the part of the
contract related to the laser communications experiment to another program and
that they would not be exercising their option for the additional microsats at
this time; however, the contract vehicle remained at $43.3 million and left open
the opportunity for some other purchase to take its place. We estimate that the
second cluster would have represented approximately $10 million of the $43.3
million contract, and have reduced our current backorder accordingly. We believe
the remaining unbilled contract backlog amount of approximately $22.4 million to
be secure. The Company has recognized approximately $10.9 million in revenue
under this contract through March 31, 2006.

Management intends to seek and obtain new government and commercial contracts,
use its revolving credit facility only for specially funded programs, if at all,
and possibly raise additional equity or debt capital in a public or private
offering or fund-raising effort in 2006 or beyond. There can be no assurance
that existing contracts will be completed successfully or that new contracts or
additional debt or equity financing that may be needed to fund operations will
be available or, if available, obtained in sufficient amounts necessary to meet
the Company's needs or on terms that are favorable to the Company. Management
believes that, if current contracts remain on schedule and are funded as
expected, they will be sufficient to fund the Company through 2006.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities and the results of
operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially
from those estimates.

PAGE F-7

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Revenue Recognition

The Company's revenues for the three-months ending March 31, 2006 were derived
from United States government cost plus fixed fee (CPFF) contracts, some fixed
price contracts and some commercial sales of component and subsystem products
that the Company acquired in its acquisition of Starsys, which is compared to
primarily CPFF contracts for the same three-month period in 2005. Revenues from
the CPFF contracts during the first three-months ending March 31, 2006 and 2005
were recognized as expenses were incurred. Estimated contract profits are taken
into earnings in proportion to revenues recorded. Time and material revenues are
recognized as services are performed and costs incurred. Certain fixed price
contracts were prepared according to the "percentage-of-completion" method of
accounting for long-term contracts. The amount of revenues recognized is that
portion of the total contract amount that the actual cost expended bears to the
anticipated final total cost based on current estimates of cost to complete the
project (cost-to-cost method). Total cost that is anticipated to exceed the
contract amount, that is, the excess of cost over contract amount is immediately
recognized as a loss on the contract. Recognition of profit commences on an
individual project only when cost to complete the project can reasonably be
estimated and after there has been some meaningful performance achieved on the
project. Recognition of losses on projects are taken as soon as the loss is
reasonably determinable and accrued on the balance sheet in other accrued
liabilities. The current accrual for potential losses on exiting projects
represents approximately $1.6 million. As projects are completed, the accrual is
adjusted as projects move toward completion and more accurate estimates are
established. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated
profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions (when
applicable), and final contract settlements may result in revisions to costs and
income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.
Contract costs include all direct material, direct labor and sub-contractor
costs, other costs such as supplies, tools and travel which are specifically
related to a particular contract. All other selling, general and administrative
costs are expensed as incurred.

(b) Inventory

Inventory is valued based on lower-of-cost-or-market method and is disbursed on
a FIFO (First-In, First-Out) basis, unless required by customer contract to be
distributed by specific identification for lot control purposes. Inventory
includes raw material inventory, finished goods inventory and work-in-process
inventory (which includes "costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on
uncompleted contracts" and represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts
billed). Actual results of contracts may differ from management's estimates
and such differences could be material to the consolidated financial statements.
Professional fees are billed to customers on a time and materials basis. Time
and material revenues are recognized as services are performed and costs
incurred.

3. NOTES PAYABLE

a) Building and Settlement Notes

In December 2002, the Company entered an agreement to sell its interest in its
Poway, California headquarters facility. The transaction closed in January
2003. The escrow transaction included the sale of the land and building. Net
fixed assets were reduced by approximately $1.9 million and notes payable were
reduced by approximately $2.4 million while a deferred gain was recorded. In
conjunction with the sale, the Company entered into a lease agreement with the
buyer to leaseback its facilities. The Company's then Chief Executive Officer
provided a guarantee for the leaseback. The gain on the sale of the facility
was deferred and amortized in proportion to the gross rental charged to expense
over the lease term. Deferred gain of $1,172,720 is being amortized at the rate
of $117,272 per year for ten (10) years ending in January 2013. As of March 31,
2006, the deferred gain was $801,359. This amortization is included in the
Company's non-operating expenses and totaled $29,318 and $29,318 for the
three-months ending March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

PAGE F-8

Deferred Gain consisted of the following:

Three-Months Ended March 31, 2006

Original Deferred Gain $1,172,720
Less Amortization 2003 (107,499)
Less Amortization 2004 (117,272)
Less Amortization 2005 (117,272)
Less Amortization 2006 (29,318)
---------------------- -----------
$ 801,359
-----------

In 2001, the Company entered into three settlement loan agreements with various
vendors. The total of $171,402 for all three loans called for payments between
24 and 50 months with interest that ranges from 0% to 8%. At March 31, 2005,
the outstanding balances on these notes were $37,130 with interest expense for
the three-months ending March 31, 2005 of $539. (As of March 31, 2006, no notes
remained outstanding.)

b) Revolving Credit Facility.

On June 3, 2003, the Company entered into a Security Agreement, Secured
Convertible Note, Registration Rights Agreement and Common Stock Purchase
Warrant, with the Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. ("Laurus"). Pursuant to the
agreements, the Company received a $1 million revolving credit facility in the
form of a three-year Convertible Note secured by its assets subject to the
amount of eligible accounts receivables. The net proceeds from the Convertible
Note were used for general working capital purposes. Advances on the
Convertible Note were repaid at the Company's option, in cash or through the
issuance of the Company's shares of common stock. The Convertible Note carries
an interest rate of Wall Street Journal Prime plus 0.75% on any outstanding
balance. In addition, the Company is required to pay a collateral management
payment of 0.55% of the average aggregate outstanding balance during the month
plus an unused line payment of 0.20% per annum. Availability of funds under the
revolving credit facility is based on the Company's accounts receivable, except
as waivers are provided by Laurus. Laurus has exercised its conversion rights
from time to time on outstanding balances. Laurus converted a total of 3,406,417
shares to reduce the debt by an aggregate of $2,500,000 since the inception of
the revolving credit facility. There was no outstanding balance on the
revolving credit facility at March 31, 2006 and 2005 and there have been no
conversions during the first three months of 2006 and 2005.

In conjunction with this transaction, Laurus was paid a fee of $20,000 for the
first year, which was expensed as additional interest expense in 2003. The
Company is required to pay a continuation fee of $10,000 each year thereafter.
In addition, Laurus received a warrant to purchase 200,000 shares of the
Company's common stock for the initial $1 million revolving credit facility, as
stated herein. The warrant exercise price was computed as follows: $0.63 per
share for the purchase of up to 125,000 shares; $0.69 per share for the purchase
of an additional 50,000 shares; and $0.80 per share for the purchase of an
additional 25,000 shares. The warrant exercise price may be paid in cash, in
shares of the Company's common stock, or by a combination of both. The warrant
expiration date is June 3, 2008. In addition to the initial warrant, the
Company issued two additional warrants: 1) to purchase 50,000 shares at an
exercise price of $1.0625 per share in relation to the $500,000 revolving credit
facility expansion convertible at $0.85 per share, which warrant was exercised
by Laurus on April 19, 2005; and, 2) to purchase 50,000 shares at an exercise
price of $1.925 per share in relation to the $1 million revolving credit
facility expansion convertible at $1.00 per share.

The Company may terminate its revolving credit facility with Laurus before the
end of the initial three year term for a fee; or, the agreement will expire on
June 3, 2006.

4. STOCKHOLDER'S EQUITY - PREFERRED STOCK, COMMON STOCK AND WARRANTS
PREFERRED STOCK

a) Series C Preferred Stock.

On August 25, 2004, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement
with the Laurus Master Fund, Ltd., whereby the Company issued 250,000 shares of
its Series C Non-Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per
share (the "Series C Preferred Shares"), to Laurus for an aggregate purchase
price of $2,500,000 or $10.00 per share (the "Stated Value"). The Series C
Preferred Shares are convertible into shares of the Company's common stock at a
rate of $1.54 per share at any time after the date of issuance, and accrue
quarterly, cumulative dividends at a rate of 6.85%. The first payment was due
on January 1, 2005. As of March 31, 2006 and 2005, approximately $99,000 and
$42,000 has been accrued for dividends and are payable in cash or shares of our
common stock at the holder's option with the exception that dividends must be
paid in shares of our common stock for up to 25% of the aggregate dollar trading
volume if the fair market value of the Company's common stock for the 20-days
preceding the conversion date exceeds 120% of the conversion rate. On January
11, 2005, $60,967 of accrued dividends were paid in the form of 39,589 shares of
the Company's common stock. Also, on May 5, 2005, $56,301 of accrued dividends
were paid in the form of 36,559 shares of the Company's common stock from
dividends accrued and on September 28, 2005, $57,708 of accrued dividends were
paid in the form of 37,473 shares of the Company's common stock. The Series C
Preferred Shares are redeemable by the Company in whole or in part at any time
after issuance for (a) 115% of the Stated Value if the average closing price of
the common stock for the 22 days immediately preceding the date of conversion
does not exceed $1.48 per share or (b) the Stated Value if the average closing
price of our common stock for the 22 days immediately preceding the date of
conversion exceeds the Stated Value. The Series C Preferred Shares have a
liquidation right equal to the Stated Value upon the Company's dissolution,
liquidation or winding-up. The Series C Preferred Shares have no voting rights,
except as required by law.

In conjunction with the Series C Preferred Shares, the Company issued a
five-year common stock purchase warrant to Laurus for the purchase of 487,000
shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $1.77 per share.

b) Series D-1 Preferred Stock.

On January 12, 2006, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement
with a limited number of institutional accredited investors, including Omicron
Capital, Tailwind Capital, Bristol Capital Management, Nite Capital and the
Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. On January 13, 2006, the Company issued and sold to
these investors 5,150 shares of our Series D-1 Amortizing Convertible Perpetual
Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of
$5,150,000, or $1,000 per share. The Company also issued various warrants to
these investors as described below. The Company paid cash fees and expenses of
$119,209 to a finder for the introduction of potential investors in this
financing, and paid $60,000 to the lead investor's counsel for legal expenses
incurred in the transaction. The preferred shares are convertible into shares
of the Company's common stock at a rate of $1.48 per share and accrue quarterly,
cumulative dividends at a rate of LIBOR plus 4% on the first day of the
applicable quarter with the first payment due on April 1, 2006. As of March 31,
2006, the Company accrued and paid approximately $99,000 for dividends in cash.

PAGE F-10

initial closing of the financing, which are described below, have been exercised
to purchase these units). Each "unit" consists of one share of Series D-1
Preferred Stock and a common stock warrant, which entitles the holders to
purchase up to an aggregate of 440,829 shares of common stock at an exercise
price of $1.51 and otherwise has the same terms as the warrants described in the
following paragraph.

Certain warrants the Company issued to the Series D-1 investors at the closing
entitle the investors to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,135,138 shares of the
Company's common stock at an exercise price of $1.51 per share. The warrants
are exercisable for five years following the date of grant. The warrants have
"ratchet" anti-dilution provisions reducing the warrant exercise price if the
Company issues equity securities (other than in specified exempt transactions)
at an effective price below the warrant exercise price to such lower exercise
price.

The Company also issued certain other warrants to the Series D-1 investors at
the closing (the "preferred stock warrants"). These warrants entitle the holder
to purchase an aggregate number of 2,000 "units", which are identical to the
"units" described above, at an exercise price of $1,000 per unit. The preferred
stock warrants are exercisable from the effective date (February 15, 2006) until
the one-year anniversary of that date. If any units subject to the preferred
stock warrants remain unsold after (1) their expiration date and (2) the
exercise of the Company's put option, if applicable, and any holder of a
preferred stock warrant issued in the financing has exercised the warrant in
full, then the preferred stock warrant grants that holder the right to purchase
440,829 with a strike price of $1.51 per share, the warrant has a five year
expiration date once issued.

Other Provisions.

The purchase agreement contains a number of covenants by the Company, which
include:

- A grant of preemptive rights to the investors to participate in future
financings until the first anniversary of the closing date of the
financing;

- An agreement not to issue any shares of the Company's common stock or
securities or other rights to acquire shares of common stock until six (6)
months after the effective date, except under specified conditions intended
to ensure the terms are no less favorable to the Company than the terms of
this financing; and,

- An agreement not to effect any transaction involving the issuance of
securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for the Company's
common stock at a price per share or rate which may change over time, which
the Company refers to as a variable-rate transaction, so long as any shares
of Series D-1 Preferred Stock are outstanding.

In connection with this financing, Laurus consented to and waived certain
contractual rights in respect of the authorization and issuance of one or more
series of Series D-1 Preferred Stock and the other transactions described below,
and certain other transactions. The Company paid Laurus Capital Management,
L.L.C., and the manager of Laurus, $87,000 in connection with Laurus's delivery
of the consent and $1,000 to Laurus' counsel for their related fees.

COMMON STOCK AND WARRANTS

The Company adopted FAS 123(R) to account for its stock-based compensation
beginning January 1, 2006. Previously, the Company elected to account for its
stock-based compensation plans under APB 25. The Company computed, for pro
forma disclosure purposes, the value of all options granted during the
three--months ending March 31, 2005 using the minimum value method as prescribed
by SFAS 123 and amended by SFAS 148. Under this method, the Company used the
risk-free interest rate at the date of grant, the expected volatility, the
expected dividend yield and the expected life of the options to determine the
fair value of options granted. The risk-free interest rates ranged from 6.0% to
6.5%, expected volatility was 117%, the dividend yield was assumed to be zero,
and the expected life of the options was assumed to be three to five years based
on the average vesting period of options granted.

If the Company had accounted for its options in accordance with SFAS 123(R) in
2005, the total value of options granted during the three-month period ending
March 31, 2005 would have been amortized on a pro forma basis over the vesting
period of the options. Thus, the Company's consolidated net income (loss) would
have been as follows:

For the quarter ended March 31, 2006, the Company expensed approximately $91,000
of stock option expenses due to SFAS 123(R) in its financial statements.

5. GOODWILL

On January 31, 2006, SpaceDev acquired Starsys Research Corporation and in
accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, the merger was
accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Under the purchase method
of accounting, the total estimated purchase price was allocated to Starsys' net
tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets based on their fair values as
of the date of completion of the merger. The excess of the purchase price over
those fair values was recorded as goodwill. Goodwill is not amortized but is
tested for impairment at least annually. The combined company will incur
additional amortization expense based on the identifiable amortizable intangible
assets acquired pursuant to the merger agreement and their relative useful
lives. Additionally, to the extent the value of goodwill or identifiable
intangible assets or other long-lived assets become impaired, the combined
company may be required to record material charges relating to the impairment.
The goodwill balance as of March 31, 2006 was approximately $12.2 million.

6. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

There were no recent Accounting Pronouncements that affected the Company during
the first quarter of 2006. For past pronouncements, please refer the Company's
10-KSB filed on March 28, 2006.

7. CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE AND ACCOUNTING FOR SHARE-BASED
COMPENSATION

The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123 (revised 2004) (123(R)) on January
1, 2006. Upon the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), compensation costs associated
with share-based compensation and stock option awards will be recorded to
expense over the requisite period(s) associated with the stock or options. Prior
to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), the Company accounted for share-based
compensation and stock option awards issued to employees, directors and officers
under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board
(APB) No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related
interpretations. Generally, no share-based employee compensation expense was
recognized for stock option grants, as all options granted had an exercise price
equal to the fair market value of the underlying common stock at the date of
grant. Similarly, no compensation expense had been recognized under the
Company's 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP).

As noted above, in the first quarter 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R),
which requires companies to measure an equity instrument based on the grant-date
fair value of the award and expense the value. The Company uses the
Black-Scholes pricing model to determine the fair value of its options on the
measurement date. The cost is recognized over the requisite period (usually the
vesting period). During the first quarter 2006, the Company had stock option
expense of $90,701 related to a new officer stock option award coincident with
the Starsys merger. Without the adoptions of SFAS No. 123(R), the Company's
operating income, net income and net income per share would have been increased
to the pro forma non-GAAP amounts indicated below:

The Company believes that evaluating its ongoing operating results with these
non-GAAP measurements may be useful as a supplement to its standard GAAP
financial measurement presentation. Accordingly, the Company has chosen certain
non-GAAP financial information to evaluate its ongoing operations and for
internal planning and forecasting purposes. The Company believes that non-GAAP
financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not a substitute
for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company
presents such non-GAAP financial measures in reporting its financial results to
provide additional and supplemental disclosure to evaluate operating results.
Whenever the Company uses a non-GAAP financial measurement, it provides a
reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to the most closely applicable
GAAP financial measurement.

8. UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS

The following unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations give
effect to the merger of SpaceDev and Starsys using the purchase method of
accounting, as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 141,
"Business Combinations." The Company acquired Starsys Research Corporation on
January 31, 2006 and is "accounting acquirer" for accounting purposes. Under
this method of accounting, the combined company will allocate the purchase price
to the fair value of assets of Starsys deemed to be acquired, including
identifiable intangible assets and goodwill. The purchase price allocation is
subject to revision when the combined company obtains additional information
regarding asset valuation. The unaudited pro forma combined statements of
operations are based on respective historical consolidated financial statements
and the accompanying notes of the Company, and those of Starsys included herein.

PAGE F-14

The unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations for the three
months ended March 31, 2006 assume the merger took place on January 1, 2006 and
combines SpaceDev's historical statement of operations for the year ended
December 31, 2005 with Starsys' historical statement of operations for the year
ended December 31, 2005 as if the merger took place on January 1, 2005. The
unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations should be read in
conjunction with the related notes included in this Form 10-QSB and the
consolidated audited financial statements of SpaceDev, Inc. The unaudited pro
forma combined statements of operations are not necessarily indicative of what
the actual results of operations and financial position would have been had the
merger taken place on January 1 of each period presented and do not indicate
future results of operations.

AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A summary of the Company's significant accounting policies applied in the
preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements follows.

(a) Nature of operations

SPACEDEV, INC. (the "Company") is engaged in the conception, design,
development, manufacture, integration and operations of SPACE TECHNOLOGY
SYSTEMS, subsystems, products and services. The Company is currently focused on
the development of low-cost microsatellites, nanosatellites and related
subsystems, and hybrid rocket propulsion as well as associated engineering and
technical services, primarily to government agencies, and specifically to the
United States Department of Defense. The Company's products and solutions are
sold, mainly on a project-basis, directly to these customers, and include
sophisticated micro- and nanosatellites, hybrid rocket-based orbital maneuvering
and orbital transfer vehicles as well as safe sub-orbital and orbital hybrid
rocket-based propulsion systems. The Company believes there will be an evolving
and developing commercial market for its space technology systems (e.g., its
microsatellite and nanosatellite products and services) in the long-term. In
the short-term, the early adopters of this technology appear to be in the United
States Department of Defense and the Company's "products" are considered to be
the outcome of specific projects. The Company is also designing and developing
commercial hybrid rocket motors and small high performance space vehicles and
subsystems for commercial and military customers.

The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado on December
23, 1996 as Pegasus Development Group, Inc. ("PDGI"). SpaceDev, LLC of Colorado
was originally formed in 1997 for commercial space exploration and was the sole
owner of shares of common stock of SpaceDev (a Nevada corporation) ("SpaceDev
Nevada"), formed on August 22, 1997. On October 22, 1997, PDGI issued 8,245,000
of its $0.0001 par value common stock for 100 percent (1,000,000 shares) of
SpaceDev Nevada's common stock owned by SpaceDev, LLC. Upon the acquisition of
the SpaceDev Nevada stock, SpaceDev Nevada was merged into PDGI and, on December
17, 1997, PDGI changed its name to SPACEDEV, INC. After the merger, SpaceDev,
LLC, changed its name to SD Holdings, LLC. For accounting purposes, the
transaction was accounted for as a reverse merger with the Company as the
acquirer. Since SpaceDev Nevada had minimal assets prior to the merger, the
transaction was accounted for as the sale of the Company's common stock for net
assets of $1,232. The Company became publicly traded in October 1997 and is
currently trading on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board ("OTCBB") under the
symbol "SPDV."

In February 1998, the Company's operations were expanded with the acquisition of
Integrated Space Systems, Inc. ("ISS"), a provider of engineering and technical
services related to space-based systems. The ISS employee base, acquired upon
acquisition, largely consisted of former Atlas and General Dynamics personnel
and enlarged the Company's then current employee base to 20 employees. ISS was
purchased for approximately $3.6 million, paid in Company common stock.

On March 31, 2004, the Company was awarded a $43,362,271 contract from the
Missile Defense Agency. Management intends to continue efforts to obtain new
commercial and government contracts.

(b) Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its wholly-owned inactive subsidiaries, SpaceDev Oklahoma, Inc., and Monoceros
Acquisition Corp., a Colorado Corporation.

PAGE F-27

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States requires management to make certain
estimates and assumptions, including estimates of anticipated contract costs and
revenues utilized in the earnings recognition process, that affect the reported
amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

(d) Accounts Receivable and Allowances for Uncollectible Accounts

Accounts receivable are stated at the historical carrying amount net of
write-offs and allowances for uncollectible accounts. The Company establishes an
allowance for uncollectible accounts based on historical experience and any
specific customer collection issues that the Company has identified.
Uncollectible accounts receivable are written-off when a settlement is reached
for an amount that is less than the outstanding balance or when the Company has
determined that balance will not be collected. At December 31, 2005 and 2004,
the allowance for uncollectible accounts was $32,281 and $32,637 respectively.

(e) Revenue recognition

The Company's revenues in 2005 and 2004 were derived primarily from United
States government cost plus fixed fee ("CPFF") contracts compared to a
predominance of fixed price contracts prior to 2003. Revenues from the CPFF
contracts during 2005 and 2004 were recognized as expenses were incurred.
Estimated contract profits were taken into earnings in proportion to expenses
recorded. Revenues under certain long-term fixed price contracts, which provide
for the delivery of minimal quantities or require significant amounts of
development effort in relation to total contract value, would be recorded upon
achievement of performance milestones or using the cost-to-cost method of
accounting where revenues and profits would be recorded based on the ratio of
costs incurred to estimated total costs at completion. Losses on contracts
would be recognized when estimated costs were reasonably determined. Actual
results of contracts may differ from management's estimates and such differences
could be material to the consolidated financial statements. Professional fees
are billed to customers on a time and materials basis, a fixed price basis or a
per-transaction basis depending on the terms and conditions of the specific
contract. Time and material revenues are recognized as services are performed
and costs are incurred.

Deferred revenue represents amounts collected from customers for projects,
products or services to be provided at a future date.

(f) Depreciation and amortization

Fixed assets are depreciated over their estimated useful lives of Three-
to-fifteen years using the straight-line method of accounting.

In December 2002, the Company entered an agreement to sell its interest in its
only facility, which sale closed in January 2003. The escrow transaction
included the sale of the land and building at 13855 Stowe Drive, Poway, CA
92064. In conjunction with this sale, the Company entered into a non-cancelable
operating lease with the buyer to lease-back its facilities for ten years. The
base rent is increased by 3.5% per year (see Note 2).

(g) Research and development

The Company is engaged in design and development activities with its commercial
and government customers. The Company has Small Business Innovation Research
("SBIR") grants from the government and continues to seek new SBIR
opportunities. Costs incurred under SBIR grants are charged against revenues

PAGE F-28

received under SBIR grants. Non-reimbursable research and development
expenditures relating to possible future products are expensed as incurred. The
Company incurred $31,940 and $39,473 in non-reimbursable research and
development costs during 2005 and 2004, respectively.

(h) Income taxes

Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of
the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their
financial reporting amounts at each year-end based on enacted tax laws and
statutory tax rates applicable to the years in which the differences are
expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when
necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
Income tax expense is the combination of the tax payable for the year and the
change during the year in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

(i) Stock-based compensation

The Company has elected to account for its stock-based compensation plans under
APB Opinion No. 25. However, the Company has computed, for pro forma disclosure
purposes, the value of all options granted during the years ended December 31,
2005 and 2004 using the minimum value method as prescribed by SFAS No. 123 and
amended by SFAS No. 148. Under this method, the Company used the risk-free
interest rate at the date of grant, the expected volatility, the expected
dividend yield and the expected life of the options to determine the fair value
of options granted. The risk-free interest rates ranged from 6.0% to 6.5%,
expected volatility was 73% to 117%, the dividend yield was assumed to be zero,
and the expected life of the options was assumed to be three to five years based
on the average vesting period of options granted.

If the Company had accounted for these options in accordance with SFAS No. 123,
the total value of options granted during the years ended December 31, 2005 and
2004 would be amortized over the vesting period of the options. Thus, on a pro
forma basis, the Company's consolidated net income (loss) would have been as
follows:

-------------------------------------------------- ------------ ------------

PAGE F-29

SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, established accounting
and disclosure requirements using a fair-value-based method of accounting for
stock-based employee compensation plans. In December 2004, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004),
Share-Based Payment (SFAS No. 123R), which replaces SFAS No. 123 and supersedes
APB Opinion No. 25. SFAS No. 123R requires all share-based payments to
employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the
financial statements based on their fair values. In addition, the adoption of
SFAS No. 123R requires additional accounting related to the income tax effects
and additional disclosure regarding the cash flow effects resulting from
share-based payment arrangements. SFAS No. 123R is effective January 1, 2006 for
calendar year companies. Accordingly, the Company will implement the revised
standard in the first quarter of 2006 (See Note 7).

On December 20, 2005, in response to SFAS No. 123R the Company's Board of
Directors approved accelerating the vesting of all unvested stock options held
by current employees, including executive officers, and members of the Board of
Directors. In order to avoid adverse financial reporting effects in future years
under the new accounting standard, we eliminated all future vesting requirements
on approximately 8.0 million stock options then outstanding in the hands of
employees, officers, and directors which had a calculated future value of
approximately $5.5 million.

(j) Net profit (loss) per common share

Net loss per common share has been computed on the basis of the weighted average
number of shares outstanding, according to the rules of SFAS No. 128, Earnings
per Share. Diluted net loss per share was not computed in 2004, as the
computation would result in anti-dilution.

(k) Financial instruments

The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of cash, short-term notes
receivable, accounts receivable, capital leases, accounts payable, and notes
payable. These financial instruments are stated at their respective carrying
values, which approximate their fair values.

(l) Segment reporting

The Company has determined that it operates in one business segment dedicated to
space technology.

(m) New accounting standards

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets-
An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29. The guidance in APB Opinion No. 29,
Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions, is based on the principle that
exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of
the assets exchanged. The guidance in that Opinion, however, included certain
exceptions to that principle. SFAS No. 153 amends Opinion No. 29 to eliminate
the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and
replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do
not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance
if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a
result of the exchange. The provisions of SFAS No. 153 are effective for
nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15,
2005. Early application was permitted and companies must apply the standard
prospectively. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have any effect
on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS No. 123R). FAS No. 123R
revised SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes
APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and its related
implementation guidance. SFAS No. 123R will require compensation costs related
to share-based payment transactions to be recognized in the financial statement
(with limited exceptions). The amount of compensation cost will be measured
based on the grant-date fair value of the equity or liability instruments
issued. Compensation cost will be recognized over the period that an employee
provides service in exchange for the award.

PAGE F-31

In March 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 107 ("SAB No. 107"), Share-Based Payment, providing guidance on
option valuation methods, the accounting for income tax effects of share-based
payment arrangements upon adoption of SFAS No. 123R, and the disclosures in MD&A
subsequent to the adoption. In April 2005, the Securities and Exchange
Commission adopted a rule which delayed the compliance date for small business
issuers to the start of the first fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2005.
The Company will provide SAB No. 107 required disclosures upon adoption of SFAS
No. 123R in January 2006 and is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of
the standard will have on the Company's financial condition and results of
operations.

In June 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Errors
Corrections, a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FAS No. 3. The Statement
applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle, and changes to the
requirements for accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting
principle. SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods'
financial statements of a voluntary change in accounting principle unless it is
impractical. APB Opinion No. 20 previously required that most voluntary changes
in accounting principle be recognized by including in net income of the period
of the change the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle.
SFAS No.154 is not expected to have any effect on the Company's financial
position or results of operations.

In February 2006, the FASB issued FAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid
Financial Instruments-an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140 ("FAS No.
155"). This statement resolves issues addressed in FAS No. 133 Implementation
Issue No. D1, Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interest in Securitized
Financial Assets. FAS No. 155: (a) permits fair value remeasurement for any
hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise
would require bifurcation; (b) clarifies which interest-only strips and
principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of FAS No. 133; (c)
establishes a requirement to evaluate beneficial interests in securitized
financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that
are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring
bifurcation; (d) clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of
subordination are not embedded derivatives; and, (e) eliminates restrictions on
a qualifying special-purpose entity's ability to hold passive derivative
financial instruments that pertain to beneficial interests that are or contain a
derivative financial instrument. FAS No. 155 also requires presentation within
the financial statements that identifies those hybrid financial instruments for
which the fair value election has been applied and information on the income
statement impact of the changes in fair value of those instruments. The Company
is required to apply FAS No. 155 to all financial instruments acquired, issued
or subject to a remeasurement event beginning January 1, 2007. The Company does
not expect the adoption of FAS No. 155 to have a material impact on the
Company's financial statements.

(n) Other Assets

Other assets are made up of a variety of prepaid and other cash advances for
items which will occur at a future date. Following is a description of what
makes up our other assets total at December 31, 2005 and 2004.

(o) Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are made up of cash as well as short term treasury
strips that will mature in a relatively short amount of time and represents only
the present value of the strip. These treasury strips can be redeemed at any
time, which is also why they are deemed to be cash and cash equivalents.

(p) Advertising Costs

Direct advertising costs are expensed as they are incurred by the Company.

2. FIXED ASSETS

In January 2003, the Company sold the land and building at 13855 Stowe Drive,
Poway, CA 92064. In conjunction with the sale, the Company entered into a lease
agreement with the buyer to lease-back this facility (see Note 9(c)). The gain
on the sale of the facility was deferred and is being amortized over the
remaining term of the lease. This amortization is included in the Company's
non-operating income and expense.

The gain of $1,172,720 on the sale of the facility was deferred and is being
amortized on a straight-line basis over the ten (10) year term of the lease at
the rate of $117,272 per year. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, the deferred
gain was $830,677 and $947,949, respectively. This amortization is included in
the Company's non-operating income and expense and totaled $117,272 in 2005 and
2004.

$1,073,773 $ 279,381
---------------------------------------- ----------- ----------
---------------------------------------- ----------- ----------

Depreciation and amortization expense for fixed assets was approximately
$192,000 and $83,500 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004,
respectively. Depreciation and amortization expense was higher during 2005 due
to the purchase of new fixed assets, mainly new computer hardware and software,
during 2005 and the construction of our fabrication and test facilities for our
hybrid rock motor systems, also located in Poway, California. Of the above
depreciation, approximately $17,000 and $33,000, for the years ended December
31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, was for depreciation on equipment under capital
leases.

3. ACQUISITIONS

All acquisitions have been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting
and intangible assets were amortized using the straight-line method. Initial
purchase price included stock issued at the date of acquisition, direct
acquisition costs and any guaranteed future consideration.

On August 14, 1998, the Company entered an Agreement for License and Purchase of
Technology from American Rocket Company (AMROC) with an unrelated individual who
had obtained ownership of such technology from AMROC. The intellectual property
acquired was hybrid rocket technology that has been modified and may be used in
the future operations of the Company. Upon execution of the Agreement, the
Company issued the seller a warrant to purchase 25,000 shares of restricted
common stock at a strike price equal to 50% of the market price of the common
stock on the issuance date. This warrant expired in 2003 having been
unexercised.

For each of the three years following the Agreement date, the licensor received
warrants to purchase 25,000 shares of restricted common stock. In the fourth
through tenth year following the Agreement date, the licensor may receive a

PAGE F-34

warrant to purchase a number of shares, if revenue is generated from the
acquired technology. All revenue based warrants are earned at a rate of one
share per $125 of revenue generated from the technology acquired. Under the
terms of the Agreement, the minimum number of shares to be issued is 100,000 and
the maximum consideration shall not exceed warrants to purchase 3,000,000 shares
of common stock or $6,000,000 in recognized value. Recognized value is the sum
of (a) the cumulative difference between the market price of the common stock
and the strike price and (b) the cumulative difference between the market price
on the date of exercise and the strike price for each warrant previously
exercised. To date, no revenue has been generated from the acquired technology
and 25,000 additional warrants expired on March 19, 2005.

The Company valued the warrants using the fair value method as prescribed by
SFAS No. 123. Under this method, the Company used the risk-free interest rate
at the date of grant, the expected volatility of the stock, the expected
dividend yield on the stock and the expected life of the warrants to determine
the fair value of the warrants. The risk-free rate of interest used to value
the initial issuance was 5.4%, a 0% dividend yield was assumed and the expected
life of the warrants was five years from the date of issuance. This calculation
resulted in a fair value of $24,500 and was used as the value of the intangible
assets acquired. All warrants are immediately exercisable after issuance and
expire on the fifth anniversary of their issuance.

4. NOTES PAYABLE

(a) Building and settlement notes

In January 2003, the company sold the land and building at 13855 Stowe Drive,
Poway, CA 92064. In conjunction with the sale, the Company entered into a lease
agreement with the buyer to leaseback this facility. Net fixed assets were
reduced by approximately $1.9 million and notes payable were reduced by
approximately $2.4 million, while a deferred gain was recorded.

In 2001, the Company entered into three settlement loan agreements with various
vendors. The total of $171,402 for all three loans called for payment between
24 and 50 months with interest that ranged from 0% to 8%. At December 31, 2005
and 2004, the outstanding balances on these notes were $9,457 and $46,127, with
interest expense of $1,474 and $3,258, respectively.

(b) Related parties
The Company had a note payable to its CEO, which was part of the Company's
preferred stock offering (see Note 8(a)), and was paid in full during the third
quarter of 2004.

Interest expense on this note was $29,256 for 2004.

In June 2003, the Company entered into a Security Agreement, Secured Convertible
Note, Registration Rights Agreement and Common Stock Purchase Warrant, with
Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. ("Laurus"). Pursuant to the agreements, the Company
received a $1 million revolving credit facility, later modified to increase the
facility to $1.5 million, in the form of a three-year Convertible Note secured
by the Company's assets subject to the amount of eligible accounts receivables.
The net proceeds from the Convertible Note were used for general working capital
purposes. Advances on the Convertible Note may be repaid in cash or through the
issuance of shares of the Company's common stock at the Company's option,
provided the market price of the common stock was 118% of the fixed conversion
price or greater. The Convertible Note carries an interest rate of Prime plus
0.75% on any outstanding balance. In addition, the Company is required to pay a

PAGE F-35

collateral management payment of 0.55% of the average aggregate outstanding
balance during the month plus an unused line payment of 0.20% per annum.
Approximately $19,500 in interest and approximately $5,000 in fees were expensed
under the revolving credit facility in 2004. There was no outstanding balance
on the revolving credit facility at December 31, 2005 and 2004.

The Convertible Note includes a right of conversion in favor of Laurus. Laurus
exercised its conversion rights from time to time in 2004 on outstanding
balances. The Convertible Note is convertible into shares of the Company's
common stock at a fixed conversion price, subject to adjustments for stock
splits, combinations and dividends and for shares of common stock issued for
less than the fixed conversion price (unless exempted pursuant to the
agreements). The Agreement was modified on March 31, 2004 to provide for a
six-month waiver of the accounts receivable restrictions and a fixed conversion
price to Laurus of $0.85 per share on the first $500,000 after the first $1
million. The agreement was further modified on August 25, 2004 to provide for a
fixed conversion price to Laurus of $1.00 per share on the next $1 million.
Thereafter, the fixed conversion price will be adjusted to 103% of the then fair
market value of the Company's common stock ("Adjusted Fixed Conversion Price").

Laurus converted 2,991,417 shares to reduce the Company's debt by $2,271,750 for
the year ended December 31, 2004. For the year ended December 31, 2004, the
Company expensed $2,480,628 for the non-cash loan fee based on the fair market
value of the stock when Laurus converted. The fair market value of the common
stock used in 2004 was established using the closing price on the date of
conversion.

Availability of funds under the revolving credit facility is based on the
Company's accounts receivable, except as waivers provided by Laurus. An initial
three month waiver was offered by Laurus, under which Laurus permitted a credit
advance up to $300,000, which amount would have otherwise exceeded eligible
accounts receivable. Laurus subsequently extended the waiver for two additional
six-month periods in 2004, under which Laurus permitted a credit advance up to
$1 million, which amount would have otherwise exceeded eligible accounts
receivable.

In conjunction with this transaction, Laurus was paid a fee of $10,000, which
was recorded as additional interest expense in 2004. The Company paid a
continuation fee of $10,000 for 2005. In addition, Laurus received a warrant to
purchase 200,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The warrant exercise
price was computed as follows: $0.63 per share for the purchase of up to 125,000
shares; $0.69 per share for the purchase of an additional 50,000 shares; and,
$0.80 per share for the purchase of an additional 25,000 shares. The warrant
exercise price may be paid in cash, in shares of the Company's common stock, or
by a combination of both. The warrant may be exercised for the balance of the
shares at any time or from time to time until June 3, 2008.

In addition to the initial warrant, the Company was obligated to issue an
additional five-year warrant to Laurus to purchase one share of common stock at
an exercise price equal to 125% of the Adjusted Fixed Conversion Price for every
ten dollars ($10) in principal of the Convertible Note converted into common
stock if and when over $1 million was converted under the revolving credit
facility. On June 18, 2004, the Company issued an additional warrant to
purchase 50,000 shares at an exercise price of $1.0625 per share in relation to
the March 31, 2004 credit facility modification. This additional warrant was
exercised by Laurus in April 2005 and resulted in a non-cash interest expense of
$28,875 for the year ended December 31, 2005. Since no more than an aggregate
100,000 shares of the Company's common stock were authorized as additional
warrants under the Laurus Agreements, on August 25, 2004, the Company issued an

PAGE F-36

additional warrant to purchase 50,000 shares at an exercise price of $1.925 per
share in relation to the August 25, 2004 credit facility modification, i.e.,
there was a 100,000 share ceiling on the number of warrants to be issued
regardless of the amount converted under the revolving credit facility.

The Company may terminate its agreements with Laurus before the end of the
initial three year term, i.e., June 3, 2006, and Laurus will release its
security interests upon payment to Laurus of all obligations, if the Company
has: (i) provided Laurus with an executed release of all claims which the
Company may have under the agreements; and, (ii) paid to Laurus an early payment
fee in an amount equal to two percent (2%) of the total amount available under
the revolving credit facility if such payment occurs after June 3, 2005 and
prior to June 3, 2006. The early payment fee is also due and payable by the
Company to Laurus if Laurus terminates its Agreement after the occurrence of an
Event of Default, as defined in the agreements.

As a result of the amendments and modifications discussed above, at December 31,
2005 the revolving credit facility provided for up to a maximum of $1.5 million
in principal amount of aggregate borrowing. The fixed conversion price for
future amounts under the revolving credit facility will be set at 103% of the
fair market value of the Company's common stock.

5. CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES

From October 14, 2002 through November 14, 2002, the Company sold an aggregate
of $475,000 of 2.03% convertible debentures to various directors and officers of
the Company. The total funding was completed on November 14, 2002. The
convertible debentures entitled the holder to convert the principal and unpaid
accrued interest into the Company's common stock when the note matured. The
maturity on the notes was six months from issue date. On March 25, 2003, an
amendment was executed which extended these notes an additional six months. The
convertible debentures were exercisable into a number of the Company's common
shares at a conversion price that equals the 20-day average ask price less 10%,
which was, established when the note was issued, or the initial conversion
price.

Concurrent with the issuance of the convertible debentures, the Company issued
warrants to purchase up to 1,229,705 shares of the Company's common stock to the
subscribers. These warrants are exercisable for three years from the date of
issuance at the initial exercise price which is equal to the 20-day average ask
price less 10%, which was established when the note was issued, or the initial
conversion price of the notes. Upon issuance, the issued warrants were valued
using the Black-Scholes pricing model based on the expected fair value at
issuance and the estimated fair value was recorded as debt discount. As a
result of the change to the maturity date of the convertible debt, the
amortization period for the debt discounts was also extended during the first
quarter in 2003.

On September 5, 2003, the Company repaid one-half of the convertible notes, with
the condition that the note holders convert the other half. Also, as a
condition of the partial repayment, the note holders were required to relinquish
one-half of the previously issued warrants. Finally, as additional
consideration for the transaction, the note holders were offered 5% interest on
their notes, rather than the stated 2.03%. All the note holders accepted the
offer and the convertible notes were retired.

As of December 31, 2004, all of the warrants under the convertible debt program
had been converted to equity and the Company received approximately $50,000 in
cash, recorded a reduction of $187,500 in related party debt and expensed
$773,802 in non-cash loan fees.

6. INCOME TAXES

Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary differences in recognizing
certain income and expense items for financial and tax reporting purposes. The
deferred tax asset of $2,127,000 and $2,350,000 as of December 31, 2005 and
2004, respectively, consisted primarily of the income tax benefits from net
operating loss, amortization of the financial reporting gain on the
sale-leaseback arrangement, and research and development credits. A valuation
allowance has been recorded to fully offset the deferred tax asset as the
Company believes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be
utilized. The valuation allowance decreased approximately $243,000 in 2005 from
$2,318,000 at December 31, 2004 to $2,075,000 at December 31, 2005.
Significant components of the benefit for income taxes for the years ended
December 31, 2005 and 2004 are as follows:

At December 31, 2005, the Company had federal and state tax net operating loss
and capital loss carryforwards of approximately $4,214,000 and $1,608,000,
respectively. The federal and state tax loss carryforwards will begin to expire
in 2012 and 2007, respectively, unless previously utilized.

A reconciliation of the statutory income tax rates and the Company's effective
tax rate is as follows:

As of December 31, 2005, the Company recorded a valuation allowance of $218,000
related to deferred tax assets created by the exercise and/or disposition of
employee stock options in recent periods. The deferred tax asset originating
from deductions for the exercise and/or disposition of stock options and the
related valuation allowance have been recorded against additional paid-in
capital and did not affect the net earnings for the period. Any tax benefits
realized from the reduction of this valuation allowance will be recorded to
additional paid-in capital.

The Company has unused U.S. and state tax credits of approximately $69,000 and
$47,000, that begin to expire 2013 and 2008, respectively.

7. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN

(a) Profit sharing 401(k) plan

During 2004, the Company amended its previous 401(k) retirement savings plan
from 1997 for its employees, which allows each eligible employee to voluntarily
make pre-tax salary contributions up to 93% of their compensation or statutory
limits per year, whichever is lower, for the year ended December 31, 2005. The
Company has elected to begin making a matching contribution of 10% of employee
contributions, which matching portion vests over 5 years as specified in the
plan amendment. During 2005 and 2004, the Company contributed $18,235 and
$2,705 to the Plan, respectively.

(b) Incentive stock option and employee stock purchase plans

In 1999, the Company adopted a stock option plan under which its Board of
Directors had the ability to grant its employees, directors and affiliates
Incentive Stock Options, non-statutory stock options and other forms of
stock-based compensation, including bonuses or stock purchase rights. Incentive
Stock Options, which provided for preferential tax treatment, were only
available to employees, including officers and affiliates, and were not issued
to non-employee directors. The exercise price of the Incentive Stock Options is
100% of the fair market value of the stock on the date the options were granted.
Pursuant to the plan, the exercise price for the non-statutory stock options was
to be not less than 95% of the fair market value of the stock on the date the
option was granted.

In 2000, the Company amended the 1999 Stock Option Plan, increasing the number
of shares eligible for issuance under the Plan to 30% of the then outstanding
common stock to 4,184,698 and allowing the Board of Directors to make annual
adjustments to the Plan to maintain a 30% ratio to outstanding common stock at
each annual meeting of the Board of Directors. The Board has not made any such
adjustment since.

PAGE F-39

In 2004, the Company adopted the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan authorizing options
on 2,000,000 shares. An amendment increasing this to 4,000,000 shares was
adopted in August 2005. As of December 31, 2005, 8,184,698 shares were
authorized for issuance under both plans, 5,447,560 of which were subject to
outstanding options and awards and 1,279,035 which have been exercised for the
Company's common stock.

During 2005, the Company issued non-statutory options to purchase 629,000 shares
to its independent directors for attendance at its 2005 and 2006 Board of
Directors meetings.

In 1999, the Company adopted the 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan with
1,000,000 shares reserved under the plan and authorized the Board of Directors
to make twelve consecutive offerings of common stock to its employees. The first
shares of common stock were issued under the Plan in February 2004. The
exercise price for the Stock Purchase Plan will not be less than 95% of the fair
market value of the stock on the date the stock is purchased. During 2005 and
2004 employees contributed $58,369 and $16,464 to the Employee Stock Purchase
Plan, and 27,540 and 14,010 shares were issued under the plan as of December 31,
2005 and 2004, respectively. The 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan was to
expire in June 2005; however, the Board of Directors extended the plan for
another year at their Board meeting in November 2004.

8. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

(a) Convertible preferred stock

In August 2004, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with
Laurus, whereby the Company issued 250,000 shares of its Series C Convertible
Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, to Laurus for an aggregate purchase
price of $2,500,000 or $10.00 per share (the "Stated Value"). The preferred
shares are convertible into shares of the Company's common stock at a rate of
$1.54 per share at any time after the date of issuance, and are entitled to
quarterly, cumulative dividends at a rate of 6.85% beginning on January 1, 2005.
For the year ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, approximately $170,000 and
$61,000 has been accrued for dividends earned in 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Approximately $175,000 of accrued dividends was satisfied by the issuance of the
Company's common stock during the year ended December 31, 2005. Dividends are
payable in cash or shares of the Company's common stock at the holder's option
with the exception that dividends must be paid in shares of the Company's common
stock for up to 25% of the aggregate dollar trading volume if the fair market
value of the Company's common stock for the 20-days preceding the conversion
date exceeds $1.85 per share. In January 2005, $60,967 was converted into
39,589 shares of the Company's common stock from previous dividend accruals. In
May 2005, $56,300 was converted into 36,559 shares of the Company's common stock
from dividends accrued from January through April 2005 and in September 2005,
$57,708 was converted into 37,473 shares of the Company's common stock from
dividends accrued from May through August 2005. The preferred shares are
redeemable by the Company in whole or in part at any time after issuance for:
(a) 115% of the Stated Value if the average closing price of the common stock
for the 22 days immediately preceding the date of conversion does not exceed the
conversion rate; or, (b) the Stated Value if the average closing price of the
common stock for the 22 days immediately preceding the date of preferred stock
conversion exceeds the Stated Value. The preferred shares have a liquidation
preference equal to the Stated Value upon the Company's dissolution, liquidation
or winding-up. The preferred shares have no voting rights. As of December 31,
2005, 1,540 preferred shares had been converted into 10,000 shares of the
Company's common stock

In conjunction with the preferred stock, the Company issued a five-year common
stock purchase warrant to Laurus for the purchase of 487,000 shares of the
Company's common stock at an exercise price of $1.77 per share.

PAGE F-40

(b) Common stock

On October 31, 2005, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement
with Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. pursuant to which the Company issued and sold
2,032,520 shares of the Company's common stock to Laurus for an aggregate
purchase price of $2,500,000 or $1.23 per share. The price per share represents
80% of the 20-day volume weighted average price of the Company's common stock
through October 28, 2005. The Company also issued to Laurus a warrant to
purchase up to 450,000 shares at $1.93 per share. The warrant is exercisable
from October 31, 2005 until October 31, 2010. The Company also paid Laurus a fee
equal to $87,500 in connection with this financing.

Concurrent with the issuance of the convertible debentures from October 2002
through November 2002, the Company issued to subscribers warrants to purchase up
to 1,229,705 shares of the Company's common stock. On September 5, 2003, the
Company repaid one-half of the convertible notes, with the condition that the
note holders would convert the other half. As a condition of the partial
repayment, the note holders were required to relinquish one-half of the
previously issued warrants reducing the total warrants issued under the
convertible debt program to 614,853. These warrants are exercisable for three
(3) years from the date of issuance at the initial exercise price, which is
equal to the 20-day average asking price less 10% established when the notes
were issued. Upon issuance the warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes
pricing model based on the expected fair value at issuance and the estimated
fair value was also recorded as debt discount. As of December 31, 2004, all of
the warrants under the convertible debt program had been converted and the
Company received $237,500 in cash and expensed $773,802 in non-cash loan fees.

As of December 31, 2005, the Company had other warrants outstanding issued as
part of its private placement and other equity raising ventures as well as
services that allow the holders to purchase up to 1,755,750 shares of common
stock at prices between $0.435 and $2.79 per share. The warrants may be
exercised any time within three (3) and five (5) years of issuance.

(d) Stock options and employment agreements

In November 1997, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr.
James W. Benson, its chief executive officer. On July 16, 2000, the Company
amended the employment agreement with Mr. Benson extending the term until July
16, 2005. As part of the amendment to the original employment agreement, the
Company granted options to Mr. Benson to purchase up to 2,500,000 of non-plan,
non-registered shares of the Company's common stock. Options for 500,000 of
these shares were vested prior to the expiration of Mr. Benson's employment
agreement and those options remain outstanding, and the balance expired
unvested. The vested options have an exercise price of $1.00 and expire in
January 2010.

On December 20, 2005, the Company entered into employment agreements and
non-qualified stock option agreements with each of Mark N. Sirangelo, Richard B.
Slansky and James W. Benson. Each employment agreement has an initial term of
two years, and will be automatically renewed for a third year unless either
party provides written notice of its intent not to renew.

The employment agreement with Mr. Sirangelo sets forth the terms of his
employment with the Company as chief executive officer and vice chairman and
provides for, among other matters: a base salary, performance-based cash

PAGE F-41

bonuses based on the achievement of specific goals set forth in the agreement
and an option to purchase up to 1,900,000 shares of the Company's common stock.

The employment agreement with Mr. Slansky amends and restates the employment
agreement with Mr. Slansky dated February 10, 2003. This agreement sets forth
the terms of his continued employment with the Company as president and chief
financial officer and provides for, among other matters: a base salary,
performance-based cash bonuses based on the achievement of specific goals set
forth in the agreement and an option to purchase up to 1,400,000 shares of the
Company's common stock.

The employment agreement with Mr. Benson sets forth the terms of his employment
with the Company as chief technology officer and provides for, among other
matters: a base salary, performance-based cash bonuses based on the achievement
of specific goals set forth in the agreement and an option to purchase up to
950,000 shares of the Company's common stock. Mr. Benson also received an
additional option to purchase up to 150,000 shares of the Company's common stock
in connection with his services as chairman.

Under each of the above employment agreements, the executive is an "at-will"
employee, which means that either the Company or the executive may terminate
employment at any time. However, if the executive's employment with the Company
is terminated without cause (as that term is defined in the employment
agreements), that executive will be entitled to a severance payment equal to his
then-current base salary per month multiplied by the greater of (A) 12 months or
(B) the number of months remaining in the term. If the executive's employment
is terminated for good reason (as that term is defined in the employment
agreements), that executive will be entitled to a severance payment equal to his
then-current base salary per month multiplied by the lesser of (A) 12 months or
(B) the number of months remaining in the term, but in no event less than six
months.

The options granted to each executive are fully vested and exercisable on the
date of grant, have an exercise price of $1.40 per share, which was the closing
sale price reported on the OTCBB on the date of grant, and will expire five
years after the date of grant. Some of the shares subject to the options are
subject to sale restrictions that expire upon the achievement of certain
milestones or four years from the date of grant, whichever comes first. Subject
to certain limitations, these options may be exercised by means of a net
exercise provision by surrendering shares with a fair market value equal to the
exercise price upon exercise.

10. CONCENTRATIONS

(a) Credit risk

The Company maintains cash balances at various financial institutions primarily
located in San Diego, California and New York, New York. The accounts at these
institutions are secured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to
$100,000. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

(b) Customer

During 2005 and 2004, the Company had two major customers that accounted for
sales of approximately $8,133,000, or 90% and $3,737,000, or 76% of consolidated

from these customers was approximately $967,400 and $612,900, respectively.

11. NOTE RECEIVABLE

On September 8, 2005, the Company made a secured loan in the principal amount of
$1.2 million to Starsys Research Corporation ("Starsys"), a design, engineering,
and manufacturing company located in Boulder, Colorado which provides mechanical
systems to the aerospace industry. The loan accrues interest at 8% per annum
and matured on January 31, 2006, as amended or earlier in certain circumstances.
No principal or interest payments are due before maturity. The loan is secured
by a security interest in all of the assets of Starsys, subject to an
intercreditor agreement with Vectra Bank Colorado, National Association. In

PAGE F-45

addition, Starsys agreed to pay the Company a placement agent fee and to
reimburse the Company expenses in the aggregate amount of $120,000. This amount
was deferred until the closing of the contemplated merger agreement with Starsys
(see Note 12) and added to the principal balance of the note evidencing the
loan.

In connection with making the loan, the Company entered into an exclusivity
agreement with Starsys which provides that Starsys will not discuss a material
sale of its assets, a material sale of its stock, a merger, or similar
transaction with any other party until October 31, 2005. Prior to completion of
the loan described above, the Company and Starsys entered into a non-binding
letter of intent concerning an acquisition. On October 26, 2005, the Company and
Starsys entered into a definitive merger agreement and on January 31, 2006 the
Company completed the Merger with Starsys, and cancelled and terminated the
secured note as well as all interest and fees related to the note. (See Note
12).

12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On January 12, 2006, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement
with a limited number of institutional accredited investors, including Laurus
Master Fund, Ltd. On January 13, 2006, the Company issued and sold to these
investors 5,150 shares of our Series D-1 Amortizing Convertible Perpetual
Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of
$5,150,000, or $1,000 per share. The Company also issued various warrants to
these investors as described below. The Company paid cash fees and expenses of
$119,209 to a finder for the introduction of potential investors in this
financing, and paid $60,000 to the lead investor's counsel for legal expenses
incurred in the transaction.

Under the purchase agreement, from the date of the effectiveness of the initial
registration statement filed pursuant to the registration rights agreement
(February 15, 2006), until the one-year anniversary of that date, if (1) on any
trading day during such period the volume weighted average price of the
Company's common stock for each of the 20 trading days immediately prior to such
date exceeds $1.63 and (2) the average daily trading volume of the Company's
common stock exceeds $100,000 on each of those days, then the Company has the
option, subject to a number of additional conditions, to put to the investors
"units" at $1,000 per unit for an aggregate purchase price of up to $2,000,000
(or a lesser amount to the extent the preferred stock warrants issued at the
initial closing of the financing, which are described below, have been exercised
to purchase these units). Each "unit" consists of one share of Series D
Preferred Stock and a common stock warrant, which entitles the holders to
purchase up to an aggregate of 440,829 shares of common stock at an exercise
price of $1.51 and otherwise has the same terms as the warrants described in the
following paragraph.

Certain warrants the Company issued to the investors at the closing entitle the
investors to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,135,138 shares of the Company's
common stock at an exercise price of $1.51 per share. The warrants are
exercisable for five years following the date of grant. The warrants have
"ratchet" anti-dilution provisions reducing the warrant exercise price if the
Company issues equity securities (other than in specified exempt transactions)
at an effective price below the warrant exercise price to such lower exercise
price.

The Company also issued certain other warrants to the investors at the closing
(the "preferred stock warrants"). These warrants entitle the holder to purchase
an aggregate number of 2,000 "units", which are identical to the "units"
described above, at an exercise price of $1,000 per unit. The preferred stock
warrants are exercisable from the effective date (February 15, 2006) until the
one-year anniversary of that date. If any units subject to the preferred stock
warrants remain unsold after (1) their expiration date and (2) the exercise of

PAGE F-46

the Company's put option, if applicable, and any holder of a preferred stock
warrant issued in the financing has exercised the warrant in full, then the
preferred stock warrant grants that holder the right to purchase a proportionate
share of the unsold units.

Other Provisions.

The purchase agreement contains a number of covenants by the Company, which
include:

- A grant of preemptive rights to the investors to participate in future
financings until the first anniversary of the closing date of the
financing;

In connection with this financing, Laurus consented to and waived certain
contractual rights in respect of the authorization and issuance of one or more
series of Series D-1 Preferred Stock and the other transactions described below,
and certain other transactions. The Company paid Laurus Capital Management,
L.L.C., the manager of Laurus, $87,000 in connection with Laurus's delivery of
the consent and $1,000 to Laurus's counsel for their related fees.

Acquisition of Starsys

On January 31, 2006, the Company completed the acquisition of Starsys Research
Corporation pursuant to a merger agreement with Starsys Research Corporation,
Scott Tibbitts, its largest shareholder, and Scott Tibbitts, as shareholder
agent for the other shareholders of Starsys. The merger agreement was dated
October 24, 2005 and amended on December 7, 2005 and January 31, 2006.

Starsys shareholders received approximately $411,000 in cash and 3.8 million
shares of the Company's common stock at the consummation of the merger. The
Company also paid approximately $705,000 in Starsys transaction expenses
connected to the merger, and reclassified from Other Assets to Investment in
Subsidiaries approximately $500,000 in certain legal and accounting expenses
incurred during the merger.

Following the merger, the pre-merger Starsys shareholders may also be entitled
to receive additional performance consideration, based on the achievement by the
Starsys business of specific financial performance criteria for fiscal years
2005, 2006 and 2007. This consideration could consist of up to an aggregate of
$1,050,000 in cash and shares of the Company's common stock valued at up to $18
million, subject to reduction for some merger related expenses and to escrow
arrangements, as follows:

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, up to $350,000 in cash and up to
an aggregate number of shares of the Company's common stock equal to (A) up
to $3.0 million divided by (B) the volume weighted average price of the

PAGE F-47

Company's common stock for the 20 trading days preceding the date of the
audit opinion for Starsys' fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, but not
less than $2.00 per share;

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, up to $350,000 in cash and up to
an aggregate number of shares of the Company's common stock equal to (A) up
to $7.5 million divided by (B) the volume weighted average price of the
Company's common stock for the 20 trading days preceding the date of the
audit opinion for Starsys' fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, but not
less than $2.50 per share; and

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, up to $350,000 in cash and up to
an aggregate number of shares of the Company's common stock equal to (A) up
to $7.5 million divided by (B) the volume weighted average price of the
Company's common stock for the 20 trading days preceding the date of the
audit opinion for Starsys' fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, but not
less than $3.00 per share.

Starsys shareholders will be entitled to receive the maximum amount of
performance consideration for a particular fiscal year if the Company breaches
specified covenants of the merger agreement and is unable to cure the breach
within applicable the cure period set forth in the merger agreement.

Approximately one-half of the shares issued to Starsys shareholders at the
closing have been placed in escrow to satisfy any indemnification obligations of
Starsys shareholders under the merger agreement and to pay reasonable expenses
of the shareholder agent. In addition, approximately one-half of the shares (if
any) to be issued for the first performance period will similarly be placed in
escrow. The indemnification escrow will generally last until ten days following
the date of audited financial statements prepared for the Starsys business for
the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006 (approximately April 2007). In
addition, 1% of any shares of SpaceDev common stock payable as performance
consideration will be paid as transaction expenses to Robert Vacek, who became
our president, Starsys division, after the merger and who was the president of
Starsys prior to the merger.

Working Capital Contribution.

Under the merger agreement, the Company was obligated to contribute $2.5 million
to the working capital of the Starsys business through the end of 2006.
Approximately $2.25 million has already been contributed, from SpaceDev to
Starsys, Inc., after the merger on January 31, 2006.

Reservation of Options.

Under the merger agreement, the Company has agreed to reserve for issuance to
Starsys officers, employees and consultants options to buy a number of shares of
the Company's common stock equal to at least 15% of the number of shares of its
common stock issued at the closing of the merger, or approximately 570,000
shares, or as performance consideration. At the special meeting of our
stockholders held on January 30, 2006, the Company sought and obtained approval
from its stockholders to increase the amount of shares of common stock available
for awards under the Company's 2004 Equity Incentive Plan by 3,000,000 shares to
provide sufficient reserves for the issuance of the options referenced above.

Termination of Loans

On March 30, 2005, Starsys entered into a secured credit facility with Vectra
Bank Colorado. The facility included a $4.25 million line of credit, which
accrued interest at a prime rate plus 0.5% and matured March 30, 2006, a $2.1

PAGE F-48

million term note A which accrued interest at 7.25% and matured April 1, 2010,
and a $1.25 million term note B which accrued interest at LIBOR plus 5% and
matured March 30, 2006. On June 24, 2005, Starsys entered into a forbearance
agreement for various financial covenant and other violations under its existing
loans with Vectra, which provided for default interest rates of prime rate plus
3.5% on the line of credit, 10.25% on the term note A and LIBOR plus 8% on the
term note B. The forbearance agreement also required Starsys to raise the
necessary capital to bring Starsys in compliance with its borrowing base and
other financial covenants and to provide progress payments toward repayment of
the outstanding loans via cash equity infusions. The forbearance agreement also
accelerated and amended the maturity date of the term note B from March 30, 2006
to the earlier of the required cash equity amounts received or January 31, 2006.

On July 26, 2005, Starsys raised $800,000 from its current shareholders to make
the first progress payment under the Vectra forbearance agreement. The
shareholder loans had a 10% premium, which was capitalized to principal, and
accrued interest at 15% per annum. These loans would have matured on March 31,
2006.

On September 8, 2005, the Company entered into a secured bridge loan facility
with Starsys under which the Company loaned Starsys $1.2 million for the purpose
of Starsys making the second progress payment under the Vectra forbearance
agreement. The bridge loan accrued interest at 8% per annum and was originally
set to mature on December 31, 2005, or earlier in certain circumstances. On
December 20, 2005, the Company agreed to extend the final maturity date of the
bridge loan until January 31, 2006. No principal or interest payments were due
before maturity.

In connection with the consummation of the merger with Starsys on January 31,
2006, pursuant to which, Starsys became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company:

The Company paid off in full the remaining principal and interest of all loans
extended to Starsys by Vectra pursuant to the credit facility and forbearance
agreement, together with all other costs incurred in connection with those
loans, which aggregated approximately $3.7 million. The credit facility and
associated security agreements with Vectra were terminated upon receipt of the
payment;

The Company cancelled and terminated its $1.2 million secured bridge loan to
Starsys, together with accrued interest, in accordance with the terms of the
merger agreement; and,

The Company paid off in full the remaining principal and interest of all
subordinated loans extended to Starsys by four of its shareholders, which
aggregated approximately $944,000.

Shareholder Agent

At the closing of the merger, on behalf of the pre-merger Starsys shareholders,
the Company transferred 69,754 shares of common stock from the escrow account to
a separate escrow account. The escrow agent will maintain the expense fund
solely for the purpose of paying the out-of-pocket fees and expenses, including
independent accounting firm fees and attorneys' fees, reasonably incurred by the
shareholder agent in connection with performing and exercising his duties under
the merger agreement and escrow agreement. The shares held in the expense fund
may not be sold or otherwise transferred until October 28, 2006. The expense
fund will be terminated after the escrow period has lapsed and the final
determination of the performance consideration (if any) for the final
performance period. Upon termination any remaining assets will be transferred
to the escrow account for release and distribution in accordance with its terms.

PAGE F-49

Entry into Non-Competition Agreement.

In connection with the consummation of the merger, the Company also entered into
a non-competition agreement with Scott Tibbitts, pursuant to which Mr. Tibbitts
has covenanted for a period of three years not to be employed by or have any
interest in an entity that engages in a similar business to Starsys related to
the aerospace industry, not to solicit any business from any past or present
customer of the Company, not to solicit or encourage any of the Company's
employees to leave or to reduce his or her employment, not to encourage a
consultant under contract with us to cease or diminish his or her work with us,
not to use our intellectual property other than for our benefit, and not to make
any negative or disparaging statements regarding the Company to any third party.
We have agreed to pay Mr. Tibbitts $100,000 annually if he abides by these
covenants. In the event Mr. Tibbitts breaches his covenants, the agreement
provides that he will no longer be entitled to his annual payments and, if the
breach was willful and material, the Company will not be required to pay Mr.
Tibbitts any further consideration under the merger agreement.

Entry into Standstill and Lock-up Agreements

In connection with the consummation of the merger, the Company entered into
standstill and lock-up agreements with 16 re-merger stockholders of Starsys,
including Messrs. Tibbitts and Vacek, each of whom individually may have been
entitled to receive more than 50,000 aggregate shares at the closing of the
merger and as performance consideration for the first performance period
pursuant to the merger. The standstill and lock-up agreement prevents the
locked-up shareholders from selling or otherwise transferring the shares of the
Company's common stock received at the closing of the merger, or to transfer an
economic interest in these shares, for a period of 270 days after the closing,
except for some exempt transactions. In addition, for a period of three years
after the closing, the standstill and lock-up agreements restrict the locked-up
shareholders from attempting to obtain control of the company, including by
prohibiting those shareholders from soliciting other shareholders and from
acquiring beneficial ownership of any shares of the Company's common stock if,
after the acquisition, the shareholder would beneficially own more than 5% of
the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock.

Amendment of 2004 Equity Incentive Plan.

In November 2005, the Company's Board of Directors approved Amendment No. 2 to
the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan, subject to stockholder approval. On January 30,
2006, at the special meeting of stockholders described herein, the Company's
stockholders approved the plan amendment. The plan amendment increased by
3,000,000 shares the number of authorized shares under the plan; added per
person annual share grant limits; and, clarified the limitation on the number of
shares which may be issued per participant as incentive stock options.

Entry into Executive Employment Agreements

In connection with the merger agreement, the Company entered into employment
agreements with Scott Tibbitts and Robert Vacek, former executives of Starsys
Research Corporation.

The employment agreement with Mr. Tibbitts sets forth the terms of his
employment with the Company as the Company's managing director and provides for,
among other matters: (1) an initial term of three years, with the option to

PAGE F-50

renew the agreement for additional one-year terms; (2) a base salary of $12,500
per month; and, (3) performance-based cash bonuses up to 50% of his base salary
per year, based on the achievement of specific goals set forth in the agreement.

The employment agreement with Mr. Vacek sets forth the terms of his employment
with the Company as president of Starsys, Inc., a subsidiary of SpaceDev, Inc.,
and provides for, among other matters: (1) an initial term of two years, with
automatic renewal for a third year unless either party provides written notice
of its intent not to renew; (2) a base salary of $17,000 per month, subject to
adjustment to $18,000 per month after eight months and $19,000 per month after
sixteen months; (3) performance-based cash bonuses up to $75,000 for fiscal year
2006 and $50,000 for fiscal year 2007 based on the achievement of specific goals
set forth in the agreement; and, (4) an option to purchase up to 825,000 shares
of the Company's common stock, the vesting of which is based on the achievement
of specific goals in the agreement and under the terms and conditions of the
Company's form of stock option agreement under the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan
between us and Mr. Vacek. The vesting of the option will accelerate in full
upon the occurrence of a change in control of the company.

Under each employment agreement, the executive is an "at-will" employee, which
means that either the Company or the executive may terminate employment at any
time. However, if the executive's employment with the Company is terminated
without cause (as that term is defined in the employment agreements), that
executive will be entitled to a severance payment equal to his then-current base
salary per month multiplied by, in the case of Mr. Tibbitts, the number of
months remaining in the term, and in the case of Mr. Vacek, the greater of (A)
12 months or (B) the number of months remaining in the term. If the executive
terminates his employment with the Company for good reason (as that term is
defined in the employment agreements), that executive will be entitled to a
severance payment equal to his then-current base salary per month multiplied by
the lesser of (A) 12 months or (B) the number of months remaining in the term,
but in no event less than six months. If the Company opts not to renew the
employment agreement with Mr. Vacek, he will be entitled to a severance payment
equal to his then-current base salary per month multiplied by six months.

Election of New Director.

The Company's board of directors appointed Scott Tibbitts as a director,
commencing February 1, 2006, pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement. Mr.
Tibbitts was also appointed as managing director of the Company, an executive
officer position, commencing on January 31, 2006.

Prior to the merger, Mr. Tibbitts was a guarantor of Starsys' obligations under
a forbearance agreement between Starsys and Vectra Bank of Colorado, Starsys'
primary lender, dated June 24, 2005. Pursuant to the merger agreement, the
Company paid approximately $3.7 million to satisfy in full Starsys' obligations
to Vectra under the forbearance agreement at the closing of the merger.

Jack Tibbitts, Steve Tibbitts, and Ted Tibbitts, relatives of Scott Tibbitts,
each loaned $100,000 to Starsys pursuant to subordinated notes issued by
Starsys. Each of these loans had a loan premium of $10,000 and bore interest at
15% per annum. Pursuant to the merger agreement, the Company paid $354,000 to
satisfy in full Starsys' obligations under these loans at the closing of the
merger.

Appointment of President, Starsys Division.

On January 31, 2006, Robert Vacek was appointed as president of the Company's,
Starsys Inc. subsidiary, pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement
described above.

PAGE F-51

Pursuant to his employment agreement with Starsys entered into prior to the
merger on June 10, 2005, Mr. Vacek was entitled to a bonus in connection with
the merger agreement. The amount of the bonus equaled 1% of the total
consideration for the merger. Pursuant to that employment agreement and the
merger agreement, the Company paid Mr. Vacek approximately $65,000 in cash and
38,000 shares of the Company's common stock, valued at approximately $56,000, at
the closing (half of which stock is subject to the escrow provisions described
above), and will pay him 1% of the performance consideration, if any, to be paid
in cash and stock to Starsys shareholders for fiscal years 2005, 2006 and 2007.

Increase in Authorized Shares

On February 1, 2006, the Company amended its articles of incorporation to
increase the authorized number of shares of common stock from 50,000,000 to
100,000,000.

Increase in Board Size.

Effective January 30, 2006, the Company's board of directors increased the
number of authorized directors from 10 to 11, and appointed Mr. Tibbitts to fill
the vacancy created by the new board seat.

operations, stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for the year then ended. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements based on our audit.

We have conducted our audit in accordance with the auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting 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 financial position of Starsys Research Corporation as
of December 31, 2005, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the
year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in

STARSYS RESEARCH CORPORATION
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
DECEMBER 31, 2005 AND 2004

Starsys Research Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated in the State of
Colorado on April 6, 1988. The Company specializes in contract production of
spacecraft mechanisms, actuators and structures for commercial and government
customers. The Company grants credit to its customers, which are located both in
the United States and Internationally. Significant accounting policies followed
by the Company are presented below.

USE OF ESTIMATES IN PREPARING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates included
in these financial statements relate to revenue recognition on uncompleted
contracts, billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings and costs on
uncompleted contracts and estimated earnings in excess of billings on
uncompleted contracts (see Note 3). Revisions in estimated contract profits and
losses are made in the period in which circumstances requiring the revision
become known. The effect of changes in estimates of contract profits and losses
on contracts in process at December 31, 2004 was an increase to net loss for the
twelve months ended December 31, 2005, by approximately $2,168,485. Had these
changes in estimate been known, they would have been used as the basis of
recognition of contract profits and losses in the preceding period. The amount
of this change includes effects of changes in estimates, change orders, and
reasonably assured change orders subsequent to December 31, 2005.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

The Company maintains its cash in multiple bank accounts which are insured by
the Federal Insurance Deposit Corporation (FDIC). At times, balances may exceed
federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such
accounts and management believes it places its cash on deposit with financial
institutions which are financially stable.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

Accounts receivable are uncollateralized customer obligations which generally
require payment within thirty days from the invoice date. Accounts receivable
are stated at the invoice amount. Notes receivable are stated at principal plus
accrued interest.

Account balances with invoices over ninety days old are considered delinquent.
Payments of accounts receivable are applied to the specific invoices identified
on the customer's remittance advice or, if

PAGE F-61

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE (CONTINUED)

unspecified, to the earliest unpaid invoices. Payments of notes receivable are
allocated first to unpaid interest with the remainder to the outstanding
principal balance.

The carrying amount of accounts receivable is reduced by a valuation allowance
if necessary that reflects management's best estimate of amounts that will not
be collected. As of December 31, 2005, management has recorded an allowance of
$17,500 for future estimates of uncollectible accounts. At December 31, 2004,
no allowance was necessary as all accounts were considered collectible by
management. If there is a deterioration of a major customer's credit worthiness
or actual defaults are higher than the historical experience, management's
estimates of the recoverability of amounts due the Company could be affected.

REVENUE AND COST RECOGNITION

The accompanying financial statements are prepared according to the
"percentage-of-completion" method of accounting for long-term contracts. The
amount of revenues recognized is that portion of the total contract amount that
the actual cost expended bears to the anticipated final total cost based on
current estimates of cost to complete the project (cost-to-cost method).

If final total cost is anticipated to exceed the contract amount, the excess of
cost over contract amount is immediately recognized as a loss on the contract.
Recognition of profit commences on an individual project only when cost to
complete the project can reasonably be estimated and after there has been some
meaningful performance achieved on the project. Changes in job performance, job
conditions, and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract
penalty provisions (when applicable), and final contract settlements may result
in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the
revisions are determined.

Contract costs include all direct material, direct labor and sub-contractor
costs, other costs such as supplies, tools and travel which are specifically
related to a particular contract. All other selling, general and administrative
costs are expensed as incurred.

The current asset reflected on the balance sheet as "Costs and estimated
earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts" represents revenues
recognized in excess of amounts billed.
The current liability reflected on the balance sheet as "Billings in excess of
costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts," represents billings in
excess of revenues recognized.

INVENTORIES

Inventories consist of supplies or other finished products not yet charged to a
contract and are stated at the lower-of-cost or market with cost determined
using an average-cost method.

PAGE F-62

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization, which
include amortization of property under capital leases, are provided by use of
the straight-line methods over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.
Accelerated depreciation methods are used for income tax reporting purposes.
Total depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 was
$429,069 and $390,682, respectively.

For the year ended December 31, 2005, and in conjunction of the pay down of the
capital leases (see Notes 5 and 6), the Company reclassified certain assets from
equipment under capital leases to facility equipment. The Company will also
depreciate the remaining net book value of these assets over their useful lives
ranging between 3 and 7 years, and in conjunction with its internal policies.

DEFERRED EXPENSES

For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company borrowed funds from four of
its stockholders and SpaceDev, Inc. lent the Company certain monies for the
Company to meet its lending requirements (see Note 5). In conjunction with these
borrowings, the Company agreed to pay an $80,000 premium and a $120,000 agency
fee, respectively. The Company is amortizing the costs associated with the loan
premium over the expected term of the loan agreement. As of December 31, 2005,
the Company has recognized interest expense of $80,000 in connection with the
amortization of the loan premium, and $54,000 in connection with the
stockholders' loans. As of December 31, 2005, the Company has deferred the
$120,000 agency fee and interest on its loan from SpaceDev, Inc. ("SpaceDev") of
$153,271.

PRODUCT WARRANTY

The Company warrants its products against defects in workmanship. The Company
accrued $72,123 for warranty claims at December 31, 2005, and 2004. The accrual
is based on an estimate of the cost to be incurred based on the claims received
and historical experience (see Note 10).

INCOME TAXES

Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary differences in the recognition
of depreciation expense for financial reporting and income tax reporting
purposes, tax credit carryforwards and for reserves for contract losses.

PAGE F-63

STOCK OPTION PLAN

The Company has a stock-based employee compensation plan which is described more
fully in Note 7. The Company accounts for this plan under the recognition and
measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees, and Related Interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation
cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted under this plan had an
exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the
date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income if the
Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No.
123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based employee
compensation for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively:

============ ============

In December 2004, The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement on Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (Revised), "Shared-Based
Payment" (SFAS 123R). This standard revises SFAS No. 123, Accounting Principles
Board Option 25 and related interpretations, and eliminates use of the intrinsic
value method of accounting for stock options. The Company currently uses the
intrinsic value method to value stock options, and, accordingly, no compensation
expense has been recognized for stock options. SFAS 123R requires that all
employee share-based payments to employees, including stock options, be valued
using a fair-value-based method and recorded as expense in the statement of
operations. For the Company, SFAS 123R will first be effective for its December
31, 2006 financial statements. This new Statement will not affect accounting
for the Company's stock options currently outstanding, but it will affect
financial statement disclosures about those stock options, and it will change
the accounting for stock options issued in future years.

DECEMBER 31, 2005 AND 2004

NOTE 1 - FUTURE OPERATIONS OF THE COMPANY

The Company incurred a net loss of $3,377,501, and $5,591,861, and has an
accumulated deficit of $5,491,085, and $2,131,087 for the years ended December
31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The Company also has negative working capital
at December 31, 2005 of $7,473,218. The Company is also in default of certain
covenants with its current lender. Management of the Company intends to fund
2006 operations primarily through revenues generated by product sales and
additional debt and additional equity investment (see Note 5). The Company's
future operations are dependent upon the profitability of the Company's
contracts and related revenues generated and its efforts to raise additional
capital. If the Company does not achieve expected revenue levels or receive
sufficient additional funding to meet its requirements with its lender, the
Company's lender is entitled to appoint a receiver to protect the lender's
collateral including the right to operate the Company's business (see Note 5).

On August 23, 2005, the Company entered into an offer to sell the shares of the
Company's stock (the "Merger Agreement") to SpaceDev, a publicly traded company.
The Merger Agreement closed on January 31, 2006. The Merger Agreement provides
for consideration to be paid at closing comprised of a cash payment of up to
$1,500,000 and shares of SpaceDev having an aggregate market value of
$7,500,000, adjustable based on the Company's working capital, as defined.
SpaceDev will also repay the remaining principal and interest of the Company's
credit facility with the bank and any subordinated debt. SpaceDev also provided
the Company with a bridge loan in the amount $1,200,000 prior to closing to
comply with the bank's requirements under the Agreement. (See Note 5)

The Merger Agreement also provides for additional consideration to be paid to
the stockholders of the Company based upon results of the audited financial
statements for the years ending December 31, 2005, 2006 and 2007.

these notes was $0 and $5,963 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

In addition, during the periods ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company
had advanced amounts to various employees. Accounts receivable due from
employees as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, were $640 and $20,412, respectively.
There were no signed note agreements for these advances due to the short
repayment terms of the advances.

PAGE F-68

All bank notes payable are also personally guaranteed by a stockholder of the
Company. The line of credit and term loan agreement contain restrictive
covenants relating to the financial position and operations of the Company. The
Company was in violation of these covenants at December 31, 2005.

On March 30, 2005, the Company refinanced the line-of-credit, term loan, and
certain capital leases with a new bank. The refinancing included creation of a
new line of credit having a balance of $4,250,000, which interest accrues at a
prime rate plus 0.5% and matures March 30, 2006, a new term note A of $2,100,000
which accrues interest at 7.25% and matures April 1, 2010, and a new term note B
of $1,250,000 which accrues interest at LIBOR plus 5% and matures March 30,
2006.

On June 24, 2005, the Company entered into a Forbearance Agreement (the
"Agreement") for certain financial covenant and other violations under its
existing loans with its current bank. The Agreement was later amended on July
26, 2005 and then again on November 7, 2005. The Agreement sets forth default
interest rates for the line of credit, term note A, and term note B, which
accrue interest at prime rate plus 3.5%, 10.25%, and at LIBOR plus 8%,
respectively. The amended Agreement requires the Company to raise the necessary
capital to bring the Company in compliance with its borrowing base and other
financial covenants. The Company's obligations under the amended Agreement
include, but are not limited to, the following:

PAGE F-69

- On or before July 26, 2005, the Company shall receive a minimum of $800,000
of additional cash equity.
- On or before September 8, 2005, the Company shall receive an additional
minimum of $1,200,000 of cash equity.
- On or before October 31, 2005, the Company shall receive a minimum of
$4,000,000 of additional cash equity.

The total amount of cash equity the Company is required to obtain on or before
December 15, 2005 is at least $6,000,000. The amended Agreement also requires
the Company to provide the bank a "Letter of Intent" by July 26, 2005 from a
bona fide third party for the purchase of all or a portion of the Company's
assets. The Agreement also accelerates and amends the maturity date of term
note B from March 30, 2006 to the earlier of the required cash equity amounts
received or January 31, 2006.

Any default under the Agreement constitutes a default under the existing loan
agreements with the bank and the bank shall be entitled to appoint a receiver to
preserve and protect the bank's collateral, including the right to operate the
Company's business. Any such receivership will continue until the Company's
obligations under the Agreement have been satisfied in full. The Company did
receive minimum proceeds of $800,000, a Letter of Intent to comply with the
amended Agreement, and the additional $1,200,000 cash equity as noted below.

As the Company had not closed the Merger Agreement with SpaceDev by October 31,
2005 and had not received the additional $4,000,000 minimum cash equity required
under the terms of the aforementioned lending agreement, on November 7, 2005,
the Company entered into a Third Amendment to the Forbearance Agreement (the
"Agreement"). On December 20, 2005 the Company entered into a Fourth Amendment.
The Company's obligations under the fourth amended Agreement include, but are
not limited to, the following:

- "Commitment Amount" under the Line Note is hereby modified and reduced from
$4,250,000 to $933,000.
- "Equity Infusion" shall mean Borrower's obligation to obtain $6,000,000 of
additional cash equity on or before January 31, 2006 ("Equity Infusion").
- "Term Note B Maturity Date" is hereby modified and amended to the earlier
of the date Borrower obtains the Equity Infusion, or January 31, 2006.

For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company issued notes payable to four
of its stockholders in the amount of $800,000. These notes bear interest at 15%
per annum. These notes plus the loan premium (see Company's Policies) and any
unpaid principal and accrued interest are due on the earlier of July 22, 2006 or
the closing of the SpaceDev Merger Agreement which was January 31, 2006.

PAGE F-70

On September 8, 2005, the Company issued a secured promissory note in the
principal amount of $1.2 million to SpaceDev. The note accrues interest at 8%
per annum and matures on December 31,
2005 or earlier in certain circumstances. No principal or interest payments are
due before maturity. The loan is secured by a security interest in all of the
assets of Starsys, subject to an intercreditor agreement with Vectra Bank
Colorado, National Association ("Vectra"). In addition, the Company has agreed
to pay SpaceDev a placement agent fee and to reimburse the Company expenses in
the aggregate amount of $120,000. This amount was deferred until the closing of
the Plan of Merger (see Company's Policies) and added to the principal balance
of the note evidencing the loan.

NOTE 6 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

LEASES

The Company leases certain equipment and software under capital leases which
expire at various times through 2006. Accumulated depreciation for these assets
presented as capital leased assets was $282,295 and $372,783 at December 31,
2005 and 2004, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the
Company extinguished its debt on all but one of these capital leases and
reclassified the assets from capital assets to facility equipment. The Company
leases its facility and office equipment under various non-cancelable operating
leases which expire through 2007. The Company also leases certain equipment
under month-to-month leases.

Minimum rental commitments under these leases are as follows:

with the leases.

PAGE F-71

The Company is also subleasing a portion of its facilities under various
month-to-month subleases. Total sublease and other rental income was $3,250 and
$7,800 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

The Company paid down certain capital leases on March 30, 2005. The balance of
the remaining capital lease obligations at December 31, 2005 and 2004 was
$25,593 and $433,138, respectively.

OTHER

The Company recently has learned that it inadvertently may have violated certain
International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) by exporting certain products
and services without licenses. These exports resulted from an error in
classifying the products and services as commercial rather than military. The
Company has prepared and filed a voluntary disclosure with the State Department
in which the details of the exports and erroneous classifications are described.
At this time, it is not possible to determine whether any fines or other
penalties will be asserted against the Company, or the materiality of any
outcome.

We self-insure a portion of our employee health and dental claims. However,
health claims in excess of our self-insurance limits are fully insured.

NOTE 7 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

STOCK OPTION PLAN

The Company adopted a Stock Option Plan in 1998 which provides for the granting
of incentive stock options to employees and nonstatutory stock options to
directors and consultants of the Company as selected by the Board of Directors.
The maximum number of shares authorized to be granted under the plan is 160,000.
The options are exercisable at a price as determined and authorized by the Board
of Directors. The options generally expire at 10 years from the date of grant.

In 1998, the Company adopted the disclosure - only provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 for Stock-Based Compensation ("SFAS
123"). SFAS 123 encourages entities to adopt a fair value-based method of
accounting for employee stock
compensation plans, but allows companies to continue to account for those plans
using the accounting prescribed by APB Opinion 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued
to Employees" ("APB 25"). The Company has elected to continue to account for
stock based compensation using APB 25, making pro forma disclosures of net
earnings as if the fair value-based method had been applied. Accordingly, no
compensation expense has been recorded for the stock option plan.

The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date of grant using
the minimum value option-pricing model with the following weighted average
assumptions:

Expected dividend yield 0%
Expected stock price volatility 0%
Risk-free interest rate 4.2% to 6.7%
Expected life of options 10 years

The Company maintains an Employees' 401(k), and, up until December 18, 2005, a
Stock Bonus Plan, which gives employees the opportunity to save a portion of
their pre-tax wages for retirement. Employees are eligible to participate in the
Company's 401(k) Plan upon date of hire. In addition to the participant's
contribution to the plan, the Company may make discretionary profit sharing and
discretionary matching 401(k) contributions under the plan. The discretionary
profit sharing contributions were paid at a rate of 50% to the employee and 50%
is accrued for conversion into shares of stock in the Company based on the
employee's respective contributions received under the plan, up until the
termination of the Stock Bonus Plan. For the years ended December 31, 2005 and

The total number of shares of the Company's stock allocated to and held by the
plan was 36,611 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Any dividends paid
on the plan shares are charged to retained earnings as the Company has an
accumulated deficit.

The Stock Bonus Plan provides a put option whereby terminated participants may
elect to sell and require the Company to redeem the participant's vested common
shares at their fair market value. The Company was not required to redeem any
of the vested shares during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. As
previously noted, the Stock Bonus Plan was terminated as of December 18, 2005.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

ITEM 24. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

SpaceDev, Inc. is a Colorado corporation. The Colorado Business
Corporation Act (referred to as the CBCA), as set forth in Title 7, Articles 101
to 117 of the Colorado Revised Statutes, governs SpaceDev's obligations to
indemnify its officers and directors. The CBCA specifies the circumstances
under which a corporation may indemnify its directors, officers, employees and
agents. Articles 101 to 117 of the CBCA provide that a corporation may
indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party
to any action, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by
reason of fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee,
fiduciary, or agent of the corporation or was serving at its request in a
similar capacity for another entity, against expenses (including attorney's
fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by the person in connection therewith if the person acted in good faith
in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in the best interest of the
corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. The CBCA permits the
corporation to indemnify officers and employees to a greater extent than it can
indemnify directors if such indemnification would not violate public policy.

The CBCA also provides that a corporation is not permitted to indemnify a
director (a) in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the
corporation in which the director was adjudged liable to the corporation; or (b)
in connection with any other proceeding charging that the director derived an
improper personal benefit, whether or not involving action in an official
capacity, in which proceeding the director was adjudged liable on the basis that
he or she derived an improper personal benefit.

SpaceDev is also governed by provisions of its articles of incorporation and
bylaws that set forth the circumstances under which it is required to indemnify
its officers and directors under applicable law.

Article VII of SpaceDev's articles of incorporation generally provides that the
personal liability of its directors and officers will be limited or eliminated
to the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, except that no indemnification
shall be made in respect of any claim, issue, or matter as to which such person
shall have been adjudged liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance
of his duty to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that, the court in
which action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that despite
the adjudication of liability, but in view of all circumstances of the case,
such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for such
expenses which the court deems proper. In addition, to the extent that a
director, officer, employee or agent of SpaceDev has been successful on the
merits or otherwise in defense of any proceeding in which the person was a party
because the person is or was a director, SpaceDev will indemnify the person
against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection
therewith. The board of directors may exercise SpaceDev's power to purchase and
maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer,
employee, or agent of SpaceDev, or is servicing at the request of SpaceDev as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another enterprise.

In addition, Article X of SpaceDev's bylaws provides that SpaceDev shall
indemnify to the extent set forth in the articles of incorporation any director,
officer, employee or agent of SpaceDev or any person serving at the request of
SpaceDev as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable Colorado law.

(iii) to include any additional or changed material information on
the plan of distribution.

(2) For determining liability under the Securities Act, treat each
such post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities
offered, and the offering of the securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered that remain unsold at the end of the
offering.

(b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission, such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable.

PAGE

In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a
director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful
defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted against the registrant by
such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities
being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by
the final adjudication of such issue.

(c) The undersigned company hereby undertakes that each prospectus filed
pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of this registration statement shall be deemed
to be part of and included in this registration statement as of the date it is
first used after effectiveness; provided, however, that no statement made in
this registration statement or prospectus that is part of this registration
statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference
into this registration statement or prospectus that is part of this registration
statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such
first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in this registration
statement or prospectus that was part of this registration statement or made in
any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
