Below is the statement of cdex re Employee RYLES...filed with the BK court.

Mr. Ryles was employed at CDEX originally from December 2004 to May 2009 and again from
September 2010 through June 2011. Mr. Ryles’ May 2009 termination was a part of a general reductionin-
force where nine employees (including Mr. Ryles) out of a total of 17 employees were laid off. In June
2011, Mr. Ryles cancelled his consulting agreement with the company. Mr. Ryles’ duties comprised of
mapping boards, soldering and minor repair of existing products for service-related purposes, early stage
prototype configuration and assembly of new products.
After his original layoff, Mr. Ryles filed a complaint for discrimination alleging that the reason
for his termination was his unwillingness to participate in a Bible study that was held at the company
during a lunch hour. That complaint was dismissed in favor of CDEX. Mr. Ryles then was invited by Dr.
Poteet to be included in a collective lawsuit for past wages that previous management neglected to pay
to employees that were laid off. Dr. Poteet provided for most, if not all, of the expense to litigate the
matter and all of the other employees benefitted by Dr. Poteet’s generosity. This included Mr. Ryles.
The group prevailed in arbitration and was awarded attorney’s fees and three times the amount

of back wages that were not paid to the employees upon termination.
New Management
This was the final and key event that ushered in the new current management of Debtor and a
settlement agreement was made with the group of ex-employees. Attorney, Robert Fee, represented the
employees. Since that time, Attorney Fee has done work for the Debtor.
Mr. Ryles was offered a position with the company. Although other employees, Dr. Poteet, and
Mr. Starzinger agreed to take a 50% reduction in wages until the company was able to get into a positive
cash position, Mr. Ryles actually received an increase in his wages.
Settlement with Debtor
The ex-employees settled with the company, and agreed to be paid their actual back wages in
24 equal payments without any interest, and the settlement award of three times wages was to be
brought into the senior note, under the same provisions that all other collective note holders had.
Public Information
During Mr. Ryles’ time of employment, the company noticed information in various blogs that
discussed events in the company not of public nature, and the Debtor’s science team, Dr. Poteet, and
others, went to great lengths to scan the entire facility for bugs. After Mr. Ryles left the company,
there were no further reported leaks of confidential information. At the time of Mr. Ryles’ second
departure, CDEX was in compliance with its financial obligations to Mr. Ryles and continued to pay
Mr. Ryles regularly and on time for the 24-month non-interest-bearing note on actual back wages.
At the time of filing for relief under Chapter 11, the company had paid down $3,541.61 of the
$5,000.00 initial note due Ryles and had only $1,458.39 remaining. The undisputed amount owed to
Mr. Ryles of $32,920.24 consists of $21,148.00 initial award amount, plus $3,969.45 interest,
$6,344.40 for penalties for default provision, and the remaining $1,458.39 from his non-interest
bearing note.
Mr. Ryles through his new attorney, Mr. Watson, states that Mr. Ryles now does not want
stock in the reorganized company. Debtor does not dispute Mr. Ryles’ claim that he is a creditor of
the debtor.


Plan Objections
Mr. Ryles’s objections are not disclosure objections but plan objections.
Products Being Tested
Debtor currently has products being tested by potential clients and believes these products will
be purchased and leased which will generate additional monies for Debtor and can be used to fund
Debtor’s Plan of Reorganization.
Conclusion
Mr. Ryles is an unsecured creditor with a 0.98% pro rata share of all other unsecured
creditors. It is believed that he is attempting to drive the company out of business so that he can take
advantage of company trade secrets. If Mr. Ryles is allowed to succeed in his subterfuge, it will cost
the remaining 99.02% of unsecured creditors their investment and cause irreparable harm to
thousands of investors.
Wherefore, counsel for Debtor moves this Honorable Court to deny the Objections filed by
Mr. Ryles.
