Net loss for Q4 2009 was $319,572. Net loss per share applicable to the common shareholders was (0.00) per share on a fully diluted basis.

Valley Forge CEO Louis Brothers said, "The fourth quarter marked an important milestone in the evolution of Valley Forge. After seven years of product development we are finally at the goal line. We anticipate that income from sales of aerospace related products will be sufficient to finance ongoing capital requirements in 2010. Given that development of our next-generation detection systems is complete, we do not anticipate having significant additional research and development expenses. Any potential additional outside debt or equity would be used for the purpose of expanding operations, such as the installation of manufacturing facilities and dealer network related to our detection systems."

NEXT-GENERATION PRODUCT UPDATES

THOR-LVX

THOR-LVX™ is an advanced screening system primarily for cargo. It provides advanced detection capability for illicit narcotics, explosives and bio-chemical weapons hidden in cargo containers. THOR-LVX can scan a 40 foot shipping container in approximately 30 seconds. To the best of the company's knowledge there is no existing device on the market that can screen containers for explosives, drugs, micro-organisms and nuclear material, such as plutonium and weapons grade uranium, in a commercially viable manner. According to multiple laboratory tests, the system effectively penetrates concealment media and performs to 99.6% accuracy.

In March 2010 Valley Forge announced the first pending sale of a THOR-LVX Cargo Scanner to the Federation of Malaysia. A near-term certification will allow the Company to significantly expand its sales and marketing efforts, at which point the Company will begin to plan and establish full scale production of the scanner for sale around the world.

ODIN

ODIN™ is a state of the art full-body scanning system that is able to detect weapons and contraband based on Ultra-Low Dose Imaging Technology. The Company believes the ODIN technology, as compared against any system now in use in the United States, is more accurate (articles hidden inside the body or on the backside of a passenger are detected in a single scan with near medical quality imaging), is faster (each passenger is scanned in 5 seconds), and is less inconvenient (passengers do not need to remove clothing or shoes). ODIN provides a near medical quality image that reveals the anatomy of the person being scanned. This is in sharp contrast with the nude-like images generated by competitors. ODIN has passed independent radiation examination and as such is eligible to be sold in the United States and around the world. Applications could include use at schools, government offices, prison facilities, sports complexes, passenger cruise liners, airports, rail and bus terminals and any number of other circumstances where security screening is important.

ODIN is currently being tested by several potential clients and in late January 2010 the Company announced an initial system sale based on a 30 day acceptance test. It is believed that successful testing will result in a larger rollout.

Valley Forge CEO Louis Brothers further commented, "Both the THOR-LVX Cargo Scanner and ODIN Full-Body Scanner represent game-changing technologies with broad applications. We intend to begin full-scale marketing and distribution of these products in 2010. We believe our products can make a major impact globally in the world of security screening."
