Explanatory Notes  

Introduction

   This Final Amendment to Schedule 13D ("Final Amendment to Schedule 13D") amends and restates the Schedule 13D ("Schedule 13D") filed on July 9, 2007 by the Reporting Persons (as defined in Item 2, below), relating to their beneficial ownership of the common stock, par value $0.001 per share ("Common Stock") of Vaughan Foods, Inc., an Oklahoma corporation (the "Issuer").

   This Final Amendment to Schedule 13D is being filed to report a material change in the number of shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock beneficially owned or deemed to be beneficially owned by Millenco LLC, Millennium Management LLC and Israel A. Englander, (as the case may be), since the filing of the Schedule 13D.

Item 1.      Security and Issuer.

   The name of the Issuer is Vaughan Foods, Inc. The address of the Issuer’s principal executive offices is 216 N.E. 12th Street, Moore, Oklahoma 73160. This Final Amendment to Schedule 13D relates to the Issuer’s Common Stock. As of the date of this Final Amendment to Schedule 13D, Millenco LLC holds Class A warrants and Class B warrants to purchase the Issuer’s Common Stock. Each Class A warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of the Issuer’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $9.75 ("Class A Warrants"). Each Class B warrant entitles the holder to buy one share of the Issuer’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $13.00 per share ("Class B Warrants"). The Class A Warrants and Class B Warrants expire on June 27, 2012.

Item 2.      Identity and Background.

   (a)-(c), (f).  This statement is being filed by Millenco LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Millenco"). Millenco is a broker-dealer and a member of the American Stock Exchange and the NASDAQ.

   Millennium Management LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Millennium Management"), is the manager of Millenco, and may be deemed to have shared voting control and investment discretion over securities owned by Millenco. Israel A. Englander, a United States citizen ("Mr. Englander"), is the managing member of Millennium Management. Consequently, Mr. Englander may also be deemed to have shared voting control and investment discretion over securities owned by Millenco. The foregoing should not be construed in and of itself as an admission by Millennium Management or Mr. Englander as to beneficial ownership of the securities owned by Millenco. Millenco, Millennium Management and Mr. Englander will be collectively referred to as the reporting persons ("Reporting Persons") in this Final Amendment to Schedule 13D.

   The business address for Millenco and Millennium Management is 666 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York 10103. The business address for Mr. Englander is c/o Millennium Management LLC, 666 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York 10103.

   (d)  During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).

   (e)  On December 1, 2005, Millennium Management and Mr. Englander, together with Millennium Partners, L.P. ("Millennium Partners") and certain related persons and entities, entered into settlements with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and the Attorney General of the State of New York (the "NYAG") relating to allegations that Millennium Partners had engaged in a pattern of deceptive "market timing" of mutual fund shares in years prior to 2004 and, in the case of the settlement with the NYAG only, had failed to take adequate steps to prevent a trader from engaging in mutual fund "late trading" in violation of firm policy. The parties neither admitted nor denied the allegations or findings (except as to jurisdiction) but consented to the entry of findings. The SEC proceedings are In the Matter of Millennium Partners, L.P., et al. Securities Act Release No. 8639 (December 1, 2005), available at www.sec.gov. Contemporaneously, the NYAG issued an Assurance of Discontinuance relating to the claims and findings of that office.

   Neither the Reporting Persons nor any other party admitted or denied any of the allegations or findings in these matters. The remedies included disgorgement by the entities of approximately $148 million of mutual fund trading profits, civil penalties aggregating approximately $32.15 million (with approximately $30 million being paid by Mr. Englander), an administrative order to cease and desist from violations of the antifraud provisions of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), and prophylactic relief.

Item 3.      Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

   Millenco acquired 177,000 Class A Warrants and 177,000 Class B Warrants in connection with its purchase of 177,000 units in the Issuer’s initial public offering. The 177,000 units were purchased for $6.50 per unit for total consideration of $1,150,500. Each unit consisted of one share of the Issuer’s Common Stock, one Class A Warrant and one Class B Warrant. Millenco effects purchases of securities primarily through margin accounts maintained for it with prime brokers, which may extend margin credit to Millenco as and when required to open or carry positions in the margin accounts, subject to applicable margin regulations, stock exchange rules and the prime broker’s credit policies. In such instances, the positions held in the margin accounts are pledged as collateral security for the repayment of debit balances in the accounts.

Item 4.       Purpose of Transaction.

   The Reporting Persons are engaged in the investment business. In pursuing this business, the Reporting Persons analyze the operations, capital structure and markets of companies, including the Issuer, on a continuous basis, through analysis of documentation and discussions with knowledgeable industry and market observers and with representatives of such companies (often at the invitation of management). From time to time, one or more of the Reporting Persons may hold discussions with third parties or with management of such companies in which the Reporting Persons may suggest or take a position with respect to potential changes in the operations, management or capital structure of such companies as a means of enhancing shareholder value. Such suggestions or positions may relate to one or more of the transactions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D of the Exchange Act, including, without limitation, such matters as disposing of or selling all or a portion of the company or acquiring another company or business, changing operating or marketing strategies, adopting or not adopting certain types of anti-takeover measures and restructuring the Issuer’s capitalization or dividend policy.

   The Reporting Persons employ the services of a number of portfolio managers, each of whom independently employs a separate and distinct trading strategy. A portion of the securities of the Issuer held by the Reporting Persons are held in accounts of the Reporting Persons managed by portfolio managers who engage in event-, risk- or merger-arbitrage or fundamental strategies.

   Except as set forth above, the Reporting Persons do not have any present plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions required to be described in Item 4 of this Final Amendment to Schedule 13D. Each of the Reporting Persons may, at any time, review or reconsider its position with respect to the Issuer and formulate plans or proposals with respect to any of such matters, but has no present intention of doing so.

Item 5.      Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

   (a)  As of the date of this Final Amendment to Schedule 13D, Millenco is the beneficial owner of 354,000 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock (consisting of 177,000 Class A Warrants and 177,000 Class B Warrants), which represents approximately 3.7% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (calculated pursuant to Rule 13d-3). The calculation of the foregoing percentage is on the basis of approximately 9,255,577 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock outstanding as of February 24, 2010, based on information contained in the Issuer’s press release dated February 24, 2010.

   Millennium Management, as the manager of Millenco, may be deemed to have shared voting control and investment discretion over securities owned by Millenco.

   Mr. Englander, as the managing member of Millennium Management, may be deemed to have shared voting control and investment discretion over securities owned by Millenco.

   Accordingly, as of the date of this filing, Mr. Englander and Millennium Management may be deemed to be beneficial owners of 354,000 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock. The foregoing should not be construed in and of itself as an admission by Millennium Management or Mr. Englander as to beneficial ownership of the shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock held by Millenco.

   (b)  Millenco holds shared power to vote and to dispose of the 354,000 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock described in (a) above. Millennium Management and Mr. Englander may be deemed to hold shared power to vote and to dispose of the 354,000 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock described in (a) above. The foregoing should not be construed in and of itself as an admission by Millennium Management or Mr. Englander as to beneficial ownership of the shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock owned by Millenco.

   (c)  Transactions in the Issuer’s Common Stock during the past 60 days: Schedule A annexed hereto lists all transactions in the Issuer’s Common Stock during the past 60 days by the Reporting Persons. The only such transaction in the Issuer’s Common Stock was effected by Millenco in the open market.

   (d)  No person other than the Reporting Persons is known to have the right to receive, or the power to direct the receipt of, dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, the shares of Common Stock reported in this Final Amendment to Schedule 13D.

   (e)  On February 26, 2010, the Reporting Persons ceased to beneficially own in excess of 5% of the Issuer’s Common Stock.

Item 6.      Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

    In connection with arrangements with Millenco’s prime brokers, such prime brokers are permitted to lend securities in Millenco’s accounts to the extent permitted by debit balances in such accounts. Millenco generally will not have any knowledge of the specific loans made by such prime brokers. In addition, in the ordinary course of business, Millenco (or its prime brokers), may borrow securities to satisfy delivery obligations arising from short sales and may lend securities to third parties and such loans generally may be recalled upon demand. However, it should be noted that shares lent by Millenco or its prime brokers may not be able to be recalled in advance of an applicable record date and thus, such loaned shares may not be able to be voted by Millenco.

   There are no other contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships among the Reporting Persons, or between the Reporting Persons and any other person, with respect to the securities of the Issuer.
