of
Dalrada Financial Corporation a Delaware corporation (the "Company"),
to be
voted at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company (the "Meeting")
which
will be held at 9449 Balboa Avenue, San Diego, California 92123 on May___,
2006
at 9:00 a.m., local time, and any adjournment(s) thereof, for the purposes
set
forth in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and in this
Proxy Statement.
The
principal executive offices of the Company are located at 9449 Balboa Avenue,
Suite 210, San Diego, California 92123. The approximate date on which this
Proxy
Statement and accompanying Proxy will first be sent or given to stockholders
is
April __, 2006.
VOTING
SECURITIES
Voting
of Proxy
A
form of
proxy for use at the annual meeting and a return envelope for the proxy are
enclosed. A shareholder may revoke the authority granted by his or her execution
of a proxy at any time before the effective exercise of such proxy by filing
with the Secretary of the Company a written notice of revocation or a duly
executed proxy bearing a later date, or by voting in person at the annual
meeting. The Company’s Common Shares represented by executed and unrevoked
proxies will be voted in accordance with the choice or instructions specified
thereon. If no specifications are given, the shares represented thereby will
be
voted in favor of the matters as set forth in this proxy statement and the
accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders, and in accordance with
the best judgment of the Board of Directors on any other matters which may
properly come before the annual meeting.
The
specific proposals to be considered and acted upon at the Meeting are summarized
in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and are described
in more detail in this Proxy Statement. On March 16, 2006, the record date
for
determination of stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting,
977,175,933 shares of the Company's common stock, par value $.005 (the "Common
Stock"). Each stockholder is entitled to one vote for each share of Common
Stock.
The
attendance, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the
outstanding voting shares of Common Stock entitled to vote at the Meeting is
necessary to constitute a quorum. A vote of the holders of a majority of the
number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, present, in person or represented
by proxy at the Meeting and entitled to vote at the Meeting, will be required
for the approval of each of the amendments to the Company's certificate of
incorporation (the "Certificate of Incorporation"), the election of directors,
and election of the Company’s accountants.
Although
the Company is a Delaware corporation, under Section 2115 of the California
Corporations Code, certain provisions of the California Corporation Code apply
to the Company because of the residence of the Company's stockholders and the
extent of its business operations and assets in California. The provisions
pertaining to certain requirements of cumulative voting apply to the
Company.
Stockholders
have cumulative voting rights when voting for directors. Accordingly, any
stockholder may multiply the number of votes he or she is entitled to vote
by
the number of directors to be elected and allocate votes among the candidates
in
any manner. However, no voting stockholder may cumulative votes unless the
name(s) of the director candidate or candidates have been placed in nomination
prior to the voting and the stockholder, prior to the voting, has given notice
at the Meeting of its intention to cumulate its shares. If any one stockholder
has given a notice of its intention to cumulate votes then all stockholders
may
cumulate their votes for director candidates in nomination. Stockholders may
exercise such cumulative voting rights, either in person or by proxy after
providing the proper notice. The five director nominees receiving the highest
number of votes will be elected.
5
The
Board
intends to vote proxies equally for the five nominees unless otherwise
instructed on the Proxy Card. If you do not wish your votes to be voted for
particular nominees, please identify the exceptions in the designated place
on
the Proxy Card. If at the time of the Meeting one or more of the nominees have
become unavailable to serve, votes represented by Proxies will be voted for
the
remaining nominees and for any substitute nominee or nominees designated by
the
Board. Directors elected at the Meeting will hold office until the next Annual
Meeting of Stockholders or until their successors have been elected and
qualified.
All
votes
will be tabulated by the inspector of election appointed for the Meeting, who
will separately tabulate affirmative and negative votes, abstentions and broker
non-votes. Abstentions and broker non-votes are counted as present for purposes
of determining the presence or absence of a quorum for the transaction of
business. Abstentions will be counted towards the tabulations of votes cast
on
proposals presented to the stockholders and will have the same effect as
negative votes except in regard to the election of directors. Broker non-votes
will not be counted towards the tabulations of votes cast on proposals presented
to the stockholders.
Revocability
of Proxy
If
the
enclosed form of Proxy is properly signed and returned, the shares represented
thereby will be voted at the Meeting in accordance with the instructions
specified thereon. If the Proxy does not specify how the shares represented
thereby are to be voted, the Proxy will be equally voted FOR the election of
the
five directors proposed by the Board unless the authority to vote for the
election of such directors is withheld and, if no contrary instructions are
given, the Proxy will be voted FOR the approval of Proposals 1, 2, and 3 as
described in the accompanying Notice and Proxy Statement. You may revoke or
change your Proxy at any time before the Meeting by filing with the Secretary
of
the Company at the Company's principal executive offices at 9449 Balboa Avenue,
Suite 210, San Diego, California 92123, a notice of revocation or another signed
Proxy with a later date. You may also revoke your Proxy by attending the Meeting
and voting in person.
Dissenter’s
Right of Appraisal
The
General Corporate Law of Delaware does not provide for dissenter’s rights of
appraisal in connection with the proposed actions.
Solicitation
The
Company will bear the entire cost of solicitation, including the preparation,
assembly, printing and mailing of this Proxy Statement, the form of Proxy and
any additional solicitation materials furnished to the stockholders. Copies
of
solicitation materials will be furnished to brokerage houses, fiduciaries and
custodians holding shares in their names that are beneficially owned by others
so that they may forward this solicitation material to such beneficial owners.
The Company may reimburse such persons for their costs in forwarding the
solicitation materials to such beneficial owners. In addition to the
solicitation of Proxies by mail, Proxies may be solicited without extra
compensation paid by the Company by directors, officers and employees of the
Company by telephone, facsimile, telegraph or personal interview.
DEADLINE
FOR RECEIPT OF STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS
Proposals
of stockholders of the Company that are intended to be presented by such
stockholders at the Company's 2005 Annual Meeting of Stockholders must be

The
Board and Its Committees
The
Board
has met and discussed the governance practices followed by the Company in order
to assure that the Board will have the necessary authority to review and
evaluate the Company’s business operations as needed and to make decisions that
are independent of the Company’s management. These discussions are intended to
align the interests of directors and management with those of the Company’s
shareholders. The nature of these discussions deal with the practices the Board
will follow with respect to board composition and selection, board meetings
and
involvement of senior management, Chief Executive Officer performance evaluation
and succession planning, and board committees and compensation. The Board is
mindful of the changes in the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission
and the implementation of the Sorbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The Board has two
committees: an Audit Committee and a Compensation Committee. The entire Board
acts in relation to corporate governance and nominating.
The
Board
of Directors met ten times during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005. All
directors attended at least 90% of the Board meetings and meetings of the
committees on which they serviced during the fiscal year ended June 30,
2005.
The
Company's audit committee (the "Audit
Committee"),
composed of Messrs. Richard Green and Robert Dietrich, met twice during the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2005, to review the Company's financial statements
and to meet with the Company's independent auditors. The Audit Committee
currently consists of Mssrs. Richard Green and Stanley Hirschman.
8
The
Audit
Committee assists the Board of Directors in its oversight of the quality and
integrity of the accounting, auditing, and reporting practices of the Company.
The Audit Committee’s role includes discussing with management the Company’s
processes to manage business and financial risk, and for compliance with
significant applicable legal, ethical, and regulatory requirements. The Audit
Committee is responsible for the appointment, replacement, compensation, and
oversight of the independent auditor engaged to prepare or issue audit reports
on the financial statements of the Company. The Audit Committee relies on the
expertise and knowledge of management, the internal auditors, and the
independent auditor in carrying out its oversight responsibilities. The Board
of
Directors has determined that each Audit Committee member has sufficient
knowledge in financial and auditing matters to serve on the
Committee.
The
Company's compensation committee (the "Compensation Committee"), composed of
Messrs. Eric Gaer, and Richard Green, met once during the fiscal year ended
June
30, 2005, to review executive compensation and the status of the Company's
employee stock option plans. The primary responsibilities of the Compensation
Committee are to (1) review and recommend to the Board the compensation of
the
Chief Executive Officer and other officers of the Company, (2) review executive
bonus plan allocations, (3) oversee and advise the Board on the adoption of
policies that govern the Company’s compensation programs, (4) oversee the
Company’s administration of its equity-based compensation and other benefit
plans, and (5) approve grants of stock options and stock awards to officers
and
employees of the Company under its stock plan. The Compensation Committee’s role
includes producing the report on executive compensation required by SEC rules
and regulations.
The
entire Board acts in relation to corporate governance and nominating, with
responsibilities including (1) determine the slate of director nominees for
election to the Company’s Board of Directors, (2) identify and recommend
candidates to fill vacancies occurring between annual shareholder meetings,
and
(3) review, evaluate, and recommend changes to the Company’s corporate
governance, including periodic review of the compensation paid to non-employee
directors. The Board also meets to annual review the Chief Executive Officer’s
performance. The Board of Directors will consider shareholder recommendations
for candidates to the Board. The name of any recommended candidate for director,
including the candidate’s willingness to serve, if elected, should be sent to
the attention of the Secretary of the Company.
None
of
the members of the committees above was an officer or employee of the Company
at
any time during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005, or at any other time with
the exception of Eric Gaer, who was employed by the company in the 1980’s.
No
current executive officer of the Company has ever served as a member of the
board of directors or compensation committee of any other entity that has or
has
had one or more executive officers serving as a member of the Board or
Compensation Committee with the exception of Brian Bonar who also serves as
the
CEO and Chairman of Warning Management Services, Inc. (“WMNI”).
Code
of Ethics
The
Board
adopted on October 12, 2004, a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies
to each of the Company’s directors, officers and employees. The Code of Business
Conduct and Ethics sets forth the Company’s policies and expectations on a
number of topics, including: Compliance with laws, rules and regulations;
Conflicts of Interest; Insider Trading; Corporate Opportunities; Competition
and
Fair Dealing; Discrimination and Harassment; Health and Safety; Record-Keeping;
Confidentiality; Protection and Proper Use of Company Assets; Prohibitions
Against Payments to Government Personnel; Waivers of the Code of Business
Conduct of Ethics; Amendments; Reporting any Illegal or Unethical Behavior;
and
Compliance Procedures.

of
$500 per meeting attended.
THE
BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR
THE
ELECTION OF THE NOMINEES LISTED ABOVE.

PROPOSAL
2
APPROVAL
OF AN AMENDMENT OF THE COMPANY'S
CERTIFICATE
OF INCORPORATION TO AFFECT A REVERSE SPLIT
OF
THE COMMON STOCK
General
The
Board
has unanimously adopted resolutions proposing, declaring advisable and
recommending that stockholders authorize an amendment to the Certificate of
Incorporation to: (i) effect a stock combination (reverse split) of the
Company's Common Stock in an exchange ratio of one (1) newly issued share for
each two hundred (200) outstanding shares of Common Stock (the "Reverse
Split");
and
(ii) provide that no fractional shares or scrip representing fractions of a
share shall be issued, but in lieu thereof, each fraction of a share that any
stockholder would otherwise be entitled to receive shall be rounded up to the
nearest whole share. There will be no change in the number of the Company's
authorized shares of Common Stock and no change in the par value of a share
of
Common Stock.
If
the
Reverse Split is approved, the Board will have authority, without further
stockholder approval, to effect the Reverse Split pursuant to which the
Company's outstanding shares (the "Old
Shares")
of
Common Stock would be exchanged for new shares (the "New
Shares")
of
Common Stock, in an exchange ratio of one (1) New Share for each two hundred
(200) Old Shares. The number of Old Shares for which each New Share is to be
exchanged is referred to as the "Exchange
Number".
The
Exchange Number may, within such range, be a whole number or a whole number
and
fraction of a whole number.
In
addition, the Board will have the authority to determine the exact timing of
the
effective date and time of the Reverse Split, which may be any time prior to
the
filing of the Form 10-K for the year ending June 30, 2006, without further
stockholder approval. Such timing and Exchange Number will be determined, in
the
judgment of the Board, with the intention to raise financing, to issue shares
of
Common Stock pursuant to outstanding contractual obligations, and for other
intended benefits as the Company finds appropriate. See "-- Purposes of the
Reverse Split," below. The text of this proposed amendment (subject to inserting
the effective time of the Reverse Split and the Exchange Number) is set forth
in
Exhibit A to this Proxy Statement.
The
Board
also reserves the right, notwithstanding stockholder approval and without
further action by stockholders, to not proceed with the Reverse Split if, at
any
time prior to filing this amendment with the Secretary of State of the State
of
Delaware, the Board, in its sole discretion, determines that the Reverse Split
is no longer in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. The
Board may consider a variety of factors in determining whether or not to
implement the Reverse Split and in determining the Exchange Number including,
but not limited to, overall trends in the stock market, recent changes and
anticipated trends in the per share market price of the Common Stock, business
and transactional developments, and the Company's actual and projected financial
performance.
Purposes
of the Reverse Split
The
purpose of the Reverse Split also would be to increase the market price of
the
Common Stock in order to make the Common Stock more attractive to raise
financing (and, therefore, both raise cash to support the Company's operations
and increase the Company's net tangible assets, and as a possible currency
for
acquisitions and other transactions. The Common Stock traded on the OTC from
approximately $0.002 to approximately $0.0075 from July 1, 2004 through February
28, 2006. This has reduced the attractiveness of using the Common Stock or
instruments convertible or exercisable into Common Stock in order to raise
financing to support the Company's operations and to increase the Company's
net
worth and as consideration for potential acquisitions (which, when coupled
with
the Company's need to deploy its available cash for operations, has rendered
acquisitions difficult to negotiate).
THERE
CAN
BE NO ASSURANCE, HOWEVER, THAT, EVEN AFTER CONSUMMATING THE REVERSE SPLIT,
THE
COMPANY WILL BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN ITS MARKET PRICE PER SHARE AND THUS UTILIZE
ITS
COMMON STOCK IN ORDER TO EFFECTUATE FINANCING OR ACQUISITION
TRANSACTIONS.
10
Furthermore,
the Company is contractually obligated to issue approximately 2.8 billion shares
of Common Stock, which exceeds the amount of shares of Common Stock the Company
is currently authorized to issue. Accordingly, the Company would be in violation
of certain of its contractual violations as it would be unable to issue any
shares of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of options or warrants or the
conversion of its 15% Convertible Stock if any such issuance would cause the
Company to issue more than the current number of authorized shares of Common
Stock. A
reverse
split would reduce the number of the shares outstanding thus providing more
shares to be available for the conversion of our convertible debt.
Giving
the Board authority to implement the Reverse Split will help avoid the necessity
of calling a special meeting of stockholders under time constraints to authorize
a reverse split should it become necessary in order to seek to effectuate a
financing or acquisition transaction.
The
Reverse Split will not change the proportionate equity interests of the
Company's stockholders at the time of the split, nor will the respective voting
rights and other rights of stockholders be altered, except for possible
immaterial changes due to rounding up to eliminate fractional shares. However,
shares issued in connection with the conversion of remaining debt, or for
working capital, or acquisitions, would most likely dilute the value of shares
held by individual shareholders. There are no anti-dilution protections for
the
debt holders. The Common Stock issued pursuant to the Reverse Split will remain
fully paid and non--assessable. The Company will continue to be subject to
the
periodic reporting requirements of the Securi-ties Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended.

Gives
effect to the Reverse Split, excluding New Shares to be issued in lieu of
fractional shares. Stockholders should recognize that, the Reverse Split will
reduce the number of shares they own by a number equal to the number of shares
owned immediately prior to the filing of the amendment regarding the Reverse
Split divided by the Exchange Number (i.e. divide by 200 if the reverse is
two
hundred to one, as adjusted to include New Shares to be issued in lieu of
fractional shares).
While
a
Reverse Split may result in an increase in the market price of the Common Stock,
there can be no assurance that the Reverse Split will increase the market price
of the Common Stock by a multiple equal to the Exchange Number or result in
a
permanent increase in the market price (which is dependent upon many factors,
including the Company's performance and prospects). Also, should the market
price of the Company's Common Stock decline after the Reverse Split, the
percentage decline may be greater than would be the case in the absence of
the
Reverse Split.
The
possibility exists that liquidity in the market price of the Common Stock could
be adversely affected by the reduced number of shares that would be out-standing
after the Reverse Split. In addition, the Reverse Split will increase the number
of stockholders of the Company who own odd-lots (less than 200 shares).
Stock-holders who hold odd-lots typically will experience an increase in the
cost of selling their shares, as well as greater difficulty in effecting such
sales. Consequently, there can be no assurance that the Reverse Split will
achieve the desired results that have been outlined above.
A
large
number of shares underlying the convertible debentures are available for future
sale and the issuance and sale of these shares may depress the market price
of
our common stock and may cause immediate and substantial dilution to our
existing stockholders.
Furthermore,
the
number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible
debentures may increase if the market price of our stock declines
and the
sale of the increased number of shares may further adversely affect the market
price of our common stock.
(2)
The
conversion price is seventy-five
percent (75%) of the average of the five lowest volume weighted average prices
of the common stock as reported by Bloomberg L.P. for the principal market
for
the twenty trading days preceding the conversion date. Therefore assuming a
market price of $0.0038 would yield a conversion price of $0.0038 x 75% =
$.00285. There is $7,545,093 in notes convertible at $.00285 or approximately
2,647,401,053 shares.
(3)
The
conversion price is fixed at $0.00226. There a $119,737 note convertible at
$0.00226 or 52,980,973 approximate shares,
Procedure
for Effecting Reverse Split and Exchange of Stock
Certificates
If
this
amendment is approved by the Company's stockholders, and if the Board still
believes that the Reverse Split is in the best interests of the Company and
its
stockholders, the Company will file the amendment with the Secretary of State
of
the State of Delaware at such time as the Board has determined the appropriate
Exchange Number and the appropriate effective time for such split. The Board
may
delay effecting the Reverse Split until as late as December 31, 2006 without
resoliciting stockholder approval. The Reverse Split will become effective
on
the date of filing the amendment at the time specified in the amendment (the
"Effective
Time").
Beginning at the Effective Time, each certificate representing Old Shares will
be deemed for all corporate purposes to evidence ownership of New Shares.
As
soon
as practicable after the Effective Time, stockholders will be notified that
the
Reverse Split has been effected and of the exact Exchange Number. The Company
expects that its transfer agent will act as exchange agent (the "Exchange
Agent")
for
purposes of implementing the exchange of stock certificates. Holders of Old
Shares will be asked to surrender to the Exchange Agent certifi-cates
representing Old Shares in exchange for certificates representing New Shares
in
accor-dance with the procedures to be set forth in a letter of transmittal
to be
sent by the Exchange Agent. No new certificates will be issued to a stockholder
until such stockholder has surren-dered such stockholder's outstanding
certificate(s) together with the properly completed and executed letter of
transmittal to the Exchange Agent. Any Old Shares submitted for transfer,
whether pursuant to a sale or other disposition, or otherwise, will
automatically be exchanged for New Shares at the exchange ratio. Stockholders
should not destroy any stock certificate and should not submit any certificate
until requested to do so by the Company or the Exchange
Agent.
12
Fractional
Shares
No
scrip
or fractional certificates will be issued in connection with the Reverse Split.
Any fraction of a share that any stockholders of record otherwise would be
entitled to receive shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share.
No
Dissenter's Rights
Under
Delaware law, stockholders are not entitled to dissenter's rights with respect
to the proposed amendment.
Federal
Income Tax Consequences of the Reverse Split
The
following is a summary of certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences
of the Reverse Split and does not purport to be complete. It does not discuss
any state, local, foreign or minimum income or other U.S. federal tax
consequences. Also, it does not address the tax consequences to holders that
are
subject to special tax rules, such as banks, insurance companies, regulated
investment companies, personal holding companies, foreign entities, nonresident
alien individuals, broker-dealers and tax-exempt entities. The discussion is
based on the provisions of the U.S. federal income tax law as of the date
hereof, which is subject to change retroactively as well as prospectively.
This
summary also assumes that the Old Shares were, and the New Shares will be,
held
as a "capital asset," as defined in the Code (generally, property held for
investment). The tax treatment of a stockholder may vary depending upon the
particular facts and circumstances of such stockholder. Each
stockholder should consult with such stockholder's own tax advisor with respect
to the consequences of the Reverse Split.
The
Reverse Split is an isolated transaction and is not part of a plan to
periodically increase any stockholder's proportionate interest in the assets
or
earnings and profits of the Company. As a result, no gain or loss should be
recognized by a stockholder of the Company upon such stockholder's exchange
of
Old Shares for New Shares pursuant to the Reverse Split. The aggregate tax
basis
of the New Shares received in the Reverse Split will be the same as the
stockholder's aggregate tax basis in the Old Shares exchanged therefor. The
stockholder's holding period for the New Shares will include the period during
which the stockholder held the Old Shares surrendered in the Reverse Split.
Required
Vote
In
accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law and the Certificate of
Incorporation, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares represented
and
voting at the Meeting is required to adopt this proposed amendment. As a result,
any shares not voted (whether by abstention, broker non-vote or otherwise)
will
have the same effect as a vote against the proposal.
THE
BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR
THIS PROPOSAL.
