ITEM 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

On August 24, 2012, Cyclone Power Technologies, Inc. (the “Company” ) closed a $250,000  debt financing with Brio Capital LP (“Brio”), comprised of a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”), Secured Promissory Note (the “Note”) and Warrant. The 12-month Note bears a 9% Original Issuance Discount (OID), making the principal payable at maturity $272,500. There is no other interest payable under the Note, unless the Company is in default.

The Note is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $.15 per share, subject to standard anti-dilution and price protection provisions should the Company issue shares at a lower price, except for certain issuance exemptions specifically set forth in the Note. The Company has a pre-payment obligation upon: (1) receipt of future payments from the U.S. Army under the Company’s development contract, provided that no more than 50% of such payments shall be applied to the early re-payment of the Notes; and (2) the closing of at least $500,000 in equity funding, provided that no more than 10% of such financing shall be applied to the early re-payment of the Notes.

The Warrant attached to the Note allow the investor to purchase a number of shares of common stock of the Company equal to 40% of the Note amount, at a an exercise price equal to $.20 per share for five (5) years from issuance. Brio received a Warrant to purchase 726,667 shares in this deal. The Warrant may be exercised on a “cashless” basis, and is subject to the same price protection as the Note, provided however, any revised exercise price of the Warrant shall be 125% of any revised conversion price of the Note. The Warrant and underlying common stock are restricted under Rule 144. The securities were issued pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.

ITEM 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits

The Securities Purchase Agreement, Secured Promissory Note and Common Stock Purchase Warrant issued pursuant to this financing will be filed with the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2012.
