ATTACHMENT TO PART IV-ITEM (3) OF

FORM 12B-25

Applied Energetics, Inc.

WITH RESPECT TO ITS FORM 10-K FOR THE

FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013

The Registrant estimates that its results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2013, as reflected in its consolidated statements of operations to be included in its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, will reflect the following changes:

For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Registrant expects to report a decline in revenues to approximately $43,000 from approximately $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Registrant expects to report that it incurred a net loss of approximately $1.4 million, compared to a net loss of approximately $3.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The decrease in net loss for the year ended December 31, 2013 was largely attributable to the reduced load of activity

Also, for the year ended December 31, 2013, the Registrant expects to report a loss per common share - basic and diluted - of approximately $0.02 compared to a loss per common share – basic and diluted - of $0.04 for the year ended December 31, 2012.
