Uni-Pixel, Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation, Business and Organization

 

Uni-Pixel, Inc., a Delaware corporation, is the parent company of Uni-Pixel Displays, Inc., its wholly-owned operating subsidiary.  As used herein, “Uni-Pixel,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Uni-Pixel, Inc. and Uni-Pixel Displays, Inc.  Our common stock, par value $0.001 per share, is quoted on the NASDAQ Over the Counter — Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”) under the ticker symbol “UNXL.”

 

Uni-Pixel is a production stage company delivering its Clearly Superior™ Performance Engineered Films to the Lighting & Display, Solar and Flexible Electronics market segments. We have approximately 100 patents issued or filed and has extensive expertise, technology know-how and trade secrets—protecting its performance engineered film development and manufacturing platforms.

 

Uni-Pixel’s newly developed UniBoss™ thin film high volume roll to roll or continuous flow manufacturing process offers high fidelity replication of advanced micro-optic structures and surface characteristics over large area, combined with a thin film conductive element. We will sell our films as sub components for use in LCD, FSC — LCD and are own Time Multiplexed Optical Shutter (“TMOS”) developed display technology as a back light film and active film sub-component.   We are currently shipping our Clearly Superior ™ Finger Print Resistant protective cover films for multiple touch enabled devices. We sell our films under the Clearly Superior™ brand as well as private label and OEM.

 

Uni-Pixel is developing 3D Films, ITO-Less Touch Films, Privacy Films and Flexible Electronic Films based on our newly-developed UniBoss™  manufacturing process for flexible thin-film conductors. In addition, our work in developing TMOS has led to advances in the thin-film and advanced optics arenas that can be leveraged for other marketable applications.  Uni-Pixel intends to explore the business potential within these applications and pursue those markets that offer profitable opportunities either through licensing or direct production and sales.  As of March 31, 2010, UniPixel had accumulated a total deficit of $52.1 million from operations in pursuit of these objectives.

 

Uni-Pixel anticipates that its initial film sales will allow us to fund and support further technology developments in the Lighting & Display, 3D, Solar, Avionics and Flexible Electronics market segments.

 

Uni-Pixel developed TMOS display offerings will enable thin, lightweight and power-efficient devices, which are highly suitable for use in full-color display applications.  Uni- Pixel believes TMOS displays will be able to capture a share of the growing $100+ billion flat panel display market due to the significant advantages it has the potential to provide over competing display technologies with respect to manufacturing and materials cost, brightness, power efficiency, viewing angle and video response time and image quality.

 

Uni-Pixel’s strategy is to further develop its proprietary Clearly Superior™ Performance Engineered Films technology around the 5 -6 vertical markets the company currently supports.  We have and will continue to utilize contract manufacturing for prototype fabrication to augment its internal capabilities in the short term.  Uni-Pixel also plans to supply its key thin film components and enter into joint developments or ventures in key vertical market segments to exploit the existing manufacturing and distribution channels of our targeted partners.  TMOS Display technology will be licensed to display manufacturers and supporting partner companies for use in applications such as mobile phones, digital cameras, laptop computers and other consumer electronic devices. Through Uni-Pixel’s internal research and development efforts, we have established a strong portfolio of TMOS-related patents and patent applications, as well as other intellectual property rights that support these joint venture and licensing strategies. To this end, we hold 41 issued patents, 1 allowed patent, and 79 pending patent applications filed in key venues worldwide including regionally in Europe, Asia Pacific, South America and North America.

 

Since our inception, we have been primarily engaged in developing our initial product technologies, recruiting personnel, commencing our U.S. operations and obtaining sufficient capital to meet our working capital needs. In the course of our development activities, we have sustained losses and expect such losses to continue through at least 2010. We will finance our operations primarily through our existing cash and possible future financing transactions.

 

Our ability to operate profitably under our current business plan is largely contingent upon our success in developing our products beyond proof of concept to final prototypes, supporting transferable manufacturing processes to partners to produce our products and successfully developing markets and manufacturing relationships for our products.  We may be required to obtain additional capital in the future to expand our operations. No assurance can be given that we will be able to develop our products, successfully develop the markets or profitable manufacturing methods for our products, or raise any such additional capital as we might need, either through equity or debt financing, on satisfactory terms or at all. Additionally, no assurance can be given that any

 

7



Table of Contents

 

such financing, if obtained, will be adequate to meet our ultimate capital needs or to support our growth. If adequate capital cannot be obtained on satisfactory terms, our operations could be negatively impacted.

 

If we achieve growth in our operations in the next few years, such growth could place a strain on our management, administrative, operational and financial infrastructure. Our ability to manage our current operations and future growth requires the continued improvement of operational, financial and management controls, reporting systems and procedures. In addition, we may find it necessary to hire additional management, financial and sales and marketing personnel to manage our expanding operations. If we are unable to manage this growth effectively, our business, operating results and financial condition may be materially adversely affected.

 

As of March 31, 2010, we had cash and cash equivalents of $0.4 million.  We believe that our existing capital resources are adequate to finance our operations until May 15, 2010.  However, our long-term viability is dependent upon our ability to successfully operate our business, develop our manufacturing process, sign partnership agreements, develop our products and raise additional debt and equity to meet our business objectives.

 

Corporate History

 

Uni-Pixel, Inc. was originally incorporated in the State of Nevada as Super Shops, Inc. On November 15, 1999, Super Shops and its sister companies filed an amended petition under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. On July 31, 2000, the court approved Super Shops’ Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization. On October 13, 2000, and in accordance with the Plan of Reorganization, the management of Super Shops changed its state of incorporation from Nevada to Delaware by merging with and into NEV Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation formed solely for the purpose of effecting the reincorporation. On June 13, 2001, NEV Acquisition Corp. changed its corporate name to Real-Estateforlease.com, Inc., as a result of the merger transaction discussed in the following paragraph.

 

Real-Estateforlease.com, Inc. was incorporated on May 24, 2001, in the State of Delaware to serve as a business-to-business internet information intermediary providing turnkey marketing services to facilitate the leasing of commercial real estate properties. On June 13, 2001, the management of NEV Acquisition Corp. entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Real-Estateforlease.com, Inc. pursuant to which the sole stockholder and founder of Real-Estateforlease.com, Inc. exchanged his equity ownership interest in Real-Estateforlease.com, Inc. for 9,500,000 shares (or approximately 96%) of NEV Acquisition Corp.’s common stock. At the time of the merger between Real-Estateforlease.com, Inc. and NEV Acquisition Corp., Real-Estateforlease.com, Inc. had no operations and essentially no assets. Efforts by Real-Estateforlease.com, Inc. to implement its business plan ceased in June 2002. Prior to Real-Estateforlease.com, Inc.’s merger with Uni-Pixel Displays, Inc., as described in the next paragraph, Real-Estateforlease.com, Inc. had no operations and no material assets or liabilities.

 

Our wholly-owned subsidiary, Uni-Pixel Displays, Inc., was originally incorporated as Tralas Technologies, Inc., a Texas corporation, on February 17, 1998. Tralas Technologies, Inc. changed its name to Uni-Pixel Displays, Inc. during 2001. On December 7, 2004, Real-Estateforlease.com, Inc. entered into a merger agreement with Uni-Pixel Displays, Inc. and certain other parties pursuant to which Uni-Pixel Displays, Inc. became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Real-Estateforlease.com, Inc. Pursuant to the merger, we changed our name to “Uni-Pixel, Inc.” at the annual meeting of our stockholders held in January 2005.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The consolidated financial statements presented in this quarterly report include Uni-Pixel, Inc. and our wholly-owned subsidiary, Uni-Pixel Displays, Inc. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Uni-Pixel Displays, Inc. was, for accounting purposes, the surviving entity of the merger, and accordingly for the periods prior to the merger, the financial statements reflect the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Uni-Pixel Displays, Inc.  The assets, liabilities, operations and cash flows of Real-Estateforlease.com, Inc. are included in the consolidated financial statements from December 10, 2004 onward.  During the first quarter of 2010 we began to manufacture, market and sell our thin film product, and we are no longer considered a developmental stage entity as defined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board.

 

Note 2 -                  Going Concern

 

Our accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  However, Uni-Pixel has sustained losses and negative cash flows from operations since its inception. As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, Uni-Pixel incurred recurring net losses of $2.1 million and $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, has negative working capital of $3.2 million and has an accumulated deficit of $52.1 million as of March 31, 2010.  The Company’s ability to meet its obligations in the ordinary course of business is dependent upon its ability to establish profitable operations, raise additional financing through public or private equity financings, enter into

Table of Contents

 

collaborative or other arrangements with corporate sources, or secure other sources of financing to fund operations.  Starting in the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company’s management began to reduce operating expenses and delay planned expenditures to maximize cash available for working capital needs.

 

In 2009, the Company raised a total of $2,325,000 in convertible notes.  In the first quarter of 2010, the Company raised a total of $775,000 in convertible notes.  Management believes that it has sufficient cash to enable the Company to continue operations until May 15, 2010.

 

Our growth and continued operations could be impaired by limitations on our access to the capital markets.  In the event that we do not raise additional funding, we may be forced to further scale back our operations which would have a material adverse impact upon our ability to pursue our business plan.  We have no commitments from officers, directors or affiliates to provide funding.  There can be no assurance that capital from outside sources will be available, or if such financing is available, it may involve issuing securities senior to our common stock or equity financings which are dilutive to holders of our common stock.  In addition, in the event we do not raise additional capital from conventional sources, it is likely that our growth will be restricted and we may need to scale back or curtail implementing our business plan.

 

Our ability to reach profitably under our current business plan is largely contingent upon our success in developing beyond proof of concept to final prototypes and supporting transferable manufacturing processes to partners to produce for sale our products and upon our successful development of markets for our products and successful manufacturing relationships.  We will need to obtain additional capital in the future to expand our operations. No assurance can be given that we will be able to develop our products, successfully develop the markets for our products or profitable manufacturing methods, or raise any such additional capital as we might need, either through equity or debt financing, on satisfactory terms or at all. Additionally, no assurance can be given that any such financing, if obtained, will be adequate to meet our ultimate capital needs or to support our growth. If adequate capital cannot be obtained on satisfactory terms, our operations could be negatively impacted.

 

The conditions described above create substantial doubt as to Uni-Pixel’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The March 31, 2010 condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Interim financial information

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein, which have not been audited pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods on a basis consistent with the annual audited statements. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for a full year. Certain information, accounting policies and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2009, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 12, 2010.

 

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and to the practices within the technology industry.  There have been no significant changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to what was previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. The consolidated financial information as of December 31, 2009 included herein has been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of, and for the fiscal year ended, December 31, 2009.

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Examples include provisions for bad debts, useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets, impairment of property and equipment and intangible assets, deferred taxes, and the provision for and disclosure of litigation and loss contingencies. Actual results may differ materially from those estimates.

Statement of cash flows

 

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, we consider all highly liquid investments (i.e., investments which, when purchased, have original maturities of three months or less) to be cash equivalents.

 

Concentration of credit risk

 

We maintain our cash primarily with major U.S. domestic banks.   The amounts held in interest bearing accounts periodically exceed the insured limit of $250,000 at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009.  The amounts held in these banks did not exceed the insured limit of $250,000 as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.  The terms of other deposits are on demand and are subject to guarantees in full by FDIC under the Transaction Account Guarantee Program.   We have not incurred losses related to these deposits.  In addition, on March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we held an investment account of $229,741 and $211,441, respectively, with a financial institution other than a bank.  These funds are invested in money market funds.  We have not incurred losses related to these deposits.

 

Restricted cash

 

As of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we had restricted cash of $34,877.  This amount secured certain obligations under our lease agreement for our principal facility located in The Woodlands, Texas as of both March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

We recognize revenue over the period the service is performed. In general, this requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists, (2) delivery has occurred or services rendered, (3) the fee is fixed and determinable, and (4) collectibility is reasonably assured.

 

Advance payments are deferred until shipment.

 

Revenue from licenses and other up-front fees are recognized on a ratable basis over the term of the respective agreement.

 

Research and development expenses

 

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and include salaries and benefits, costs paid to third-party contractors for research, development and manufacturing of materials and devices, and a portion of facilities cost. Prototype development costs are a significant component of research and development expenses and include costs associated with third-party contractors. Invoicing from third-party contractors for services performed can lag several months.  We accrue the costs of services rendered in connection with third-party contractor activities based on our estimate of management fees, site management and monitoring costs and data management costs. Actual costs may differ from estimated costs in some cases and are adjusted for in the period in which they become known.

 

Income taxes

 

An asset and liability approach is used for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between income tax and financial reporting and principally relate to recognition of revenue and expenses in different periods for financial and tax accounting purposes and are measured using currently enacted tax rates and laws. In addition, a deferred tax asset can be generated by net operating loss carryforwards.   If it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recognized.

 

The Company has losses carried forward for income tax purposes to March 31, 2010. There are no current or deferred tax expenses for the three month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 due to the Company’s loss position. The Company has fully reserved for any benefits of these losses. The deferred tax consequences of temporary differences in reporting items for financial statement and income tax purposes are recognized, as appropriate. Realization of the future tax benefits related to the deferred tax assets is dependent on many factors, including the Company’s ability to generate taxable income within the net operating loss carryforward period. Management has considered these factors in reaching its conclusion as to the valuation allowance for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, no benefit has been recognized on the net loss as the realization of the net operating loss carryforward cannot be assured.

Loss per share data

 

Basic loss per share is calculated based on the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period, after giving effect to the manner in which the merger was accounted for as described in Note 1. Diluted earnings per share also gives effect to the dilutive effect of stock options, warrants (calculated based on the treasury stock method) and convertible notes and convertible preferred stock. The Company does not present diluted earnings per share for years in which it incurred net losses as the effect is antidilutive.

 

At March 31, 2010, options and warrants to purchase 28,272,900 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $0.50 to $2.00 per share were outstanding, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share as their effect would be antidilutive.

 

Fair value of financial instruments

 

Our financial instruments consist of accounts receivable, accounts payable, notes payable and derivative liabilities. We believe the fair values of our accounts receivable, accounts payable and notes payable reflect their respective carrying amounts. The fair value of derivative liabilities, due to certain embedded features (conversion option) and free standing derivatives (warrants) is calculated using the Black-Scholes valuation model.

 

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

 

In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-05, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) — Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value. This ASU provides amendments for fair value measurements of liabilities. It provides clarification that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more techniques. ASU 2009-05 also clarifies that when estimating a fair value of a liability, a reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to other inputs relating to the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of the liability. ASU 2009-05 is effective for the first reporting period (including interim periods) beginning after issuance or fourth quarter 2009. The adoption of ASU 2009-05 had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In September 2009, the FASB issued additional guidance on measuring the fair value of liabilities effective for the first reporting period (including interim periods) beginning after issuance. Implementation had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In September 2009, the FASB issued additional guidance on measuring fair value of certain alternative investments effective for the first reporting period (including interim periods) ending after December 15, 2009. Implementation had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Accounting Guidance Not Yet Effective

 

In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-17 which establishes authoritative guidance permitting use of the milestone method of revenue recognition for research or development arrangements that contain payment provisions or consideration contingent on the achievement of specified events. This guidance is effective for milestones achieved in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010 and allows for either prospective or retrospective application, with early adoption permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact that adoption of this guidance will have on the Company’s consolidated Financial Statements.

 

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06 to improve disclosures about fair value measurements. ASU 2010-6 clarifies certain existing disclosures and requires new disclosure regarding significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 of fair value measurements and the reasons for the transfer. The amendments in ASU 2010-06 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal periods.

 

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-14 to amend ASC 605, “Revenue Recognition.” The amendments in this update change the accounting model for revenue arrangements that include both tangible products and software elements. The amendments in ASU 2009-14 will be effective for us beginning January 1, 2011, with early adoption permitted.

Table of Contents

 

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-13 amending ASC 605 related to revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables. Among other things, ASU 2009-13 provides guidance for entities in determining the selling price of a deliverable and clarifies that the allocation of revenue is based on entity-specific assumptions rather than assumptions of a marketplace participant.

 

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Note 6 — Notes Payable

 

Uni-Pixel, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a GUARANTEE AND COLLATERAL AGREEMENT dated as of March 15, 2010 (this “Agreement”), with UNI-PIXEL DISPLAYS, INC., a Texas corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (together with the Company, “Grantors”) and MERRILL LYNCH PIERCE, FENNER & SMITH INC. (“Merrill Lynch”), as collateral agent (in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”) for each holder of the Company’s 8% Convertible Debentures due December 31, 2010 (the “Debentures”) that has executed the Agreement, either on the date thereof or in the future pursuant to a joinder agreement (a “Secured Party Joinder Agreement”) (the Collateral Agent, each Holder party to this Agreement or to a Secured Party Joinder Agreement, and their respective successors and assigns, collectively, the “Secured Parties”).  Pursuant to the Agreement, in consideration of the extension of loans to the Company evidenced by the debentures, the Grantors have granted to the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of all Secured Parties, a perfected first priority security interest in certain property of the Grantors to secure the prompt payment, performance and discharge in full of all of the Company’s obligations under the debentures.

 

In addition, participants in the Company’s prior debenture offerings pursuant to its Private Placement Memorandums dated April 30, 2009, August 27, 2009 and December 4, 2009, those investors can participate in the Agreement, and be entitled to the benefits thereunder, by signing the Agreement and agreeing to extend the maturity date of their Debentures to December 31, 2010, the same maturity date as those debentures issued pursuant to the December 2009 private placement memorandum.

 

Commencing in June 2009, the Company entered into subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with accredited individual investors (each, an “Investor” and collectively, the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Company commenced a private placement (the “Private Placement”) of its 8% convertible promissory notes maturing on July 9, 2010. The Private Placement offering was closed effective July 9, 2009.

 

On June 10, 2009 and June 30, 2009, the Company entered into a Subscription Agreement with various accredited individual investors (the “1st Closing Investors”) in a first closing of the Private Placement and issued convertible promissory notes in the original aggregate principal amount of $650,000 (the “1st Closing Notes”).  The convertible promissory notes mature on July 9, 2010. Investors purchased for $650,000 8% Convertible Debentures (the “Debenture”) in the aggregate principal amount of $650,000 together with warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 325,000 shares of Common Stock for $0.50 per share. The convertible notes are convertible by the holders at any time at a conversion price of $0.50 per share into the Company’s common stock.  The convertible notes are due and payable at maturity together with interest at the rate of 8% per annum. The Company expects to use the proceeds of the financing to finance on-going operations.

 

The Debentures did not contain a beneficial conversion feature at the time of issuance.

 

Total funds received of $650,000 were allocated $20,001 to the Warrants and $629,999 to the Debenture. The relative fair value of the Warrants is $20,001 which was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.  The discount on the Debenture attributable to the Warrants of $20,001 is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the Debenture using the effective interest method.

 

At March 31, 2010, the unamortized discount on the Debenture is approximately $4,804. The following table reflects the convertible debt at March 31, 2010:

Total funds received of $1,025,000 were allocated $5,144 to the Warrants and $244,856 to the Debenture. The relative fair value of the Warrants is $17,154 which was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.  The discount on the Debenture attributable to the Warrants of $17,154 is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the Debenture using the effective interest method.

 

At March 31, 2010, the unamortized discount on the Debenture is approximately $14,627. The following table reflects the convertible debt at March 31, 2010:

In consideration for services rendered as the placement agent in the Private Placement, the Company issued to Fordham Financial Management, Inc.(“Fordham”) ten-year warrants to purchase 307,500 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share (the “Fordham Warrants”), for the 3rd Closing of the Private Placement. Fordham also received, in consideration for services rendered as placement agent cash commissions aggregating $133,250, which represents 13% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the 3rd Closing. The Company utilized the Black-Scholes methodology in determining the fair market value of the Fordham Warrants, which is $83,667, and this amount is expensed over the expected life of the convertible notes.  The Company also paid $23,960 in other issuance costs. The placement agent cash commission, other issuance costs and Fordham warrants are recorded as deferred loan costs in the accompanying balance sheet.

 

Note 7 -      Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company  remeasures its financial assets and liabilities at fair value at each reporting period and non-financial assets and liabilities that are remeasured and reported at fair value at least annually.

Table of Contents

 

In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs are unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. The Company’s financial assets consist solely of cash and cash equivalents.

 

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATON.

 

Forward Looking Statements

 

Some of the information in this report contains forward-looking information that involve risks and uncertainties.  Our forward-looking statements express our current expectations or forecasts of possible future results or events, including projections of future performance, statements of management’s plans and objectives, future contracts, and forecasts of trends and other matters.  You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historic or current facts and often use words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “plan,” “expect,” “future,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” and other words and expressions of similar meaning.  No assurance can be given that the results in any forward-looking statement will be achieved and actual results could be affected by one or more factors, which could cause them to differ materially.  For these statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. You should also consider carefully the statements under “Description of Business - Risk Factors” in our 2009 Form 10-K, which address factors that could cause our actual results to differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements.

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 3 of Notes to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. However, certain accounting policies and estimates are particularly important to the understanding of our financial position and results of operations and require the application of significant judgment by our management or can be materially affected by changes from period to period in economic factors or conditions that are outside of our control.  As a result, they are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. In applying these policies, our management uses their judgment to determine the appropriate assumptions to be used in the determination of certain estimates. Those estimates are based on our historical operations, our future business plans and projected financial results, the terms of existing contracts, our observance of trends in the industry, information provided by our customers and information available from other outside sources, as appropriate. The following discusses our significant accounting policies and estimates.

 

Revenue Recognition:  We recognize revenue over the period the service is performed. In general, this requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists, (2) delivery has occurred or services rendered, (3) the fee is fixed and determinable, and (4) collectibility is reasonably assured.

 

Advance payments are deferred until shipment.

 

Revenue from licenses and other up-front fees are recognized on a ratable basis over the term of the respective agreement.

 

Cost of Revenues and Selling, General and Administrative Expenses and Research and Development Expenses:  In an effort to consolidate our executive management team, we moved our headquarters from Austin, Texas to The Woodlands, Texas during the third quarter of 2005.  The primary purpose of our facility in The Woodlands, Texas is to conduct research on the development, testing and delivery of our prototype devices, and the commercialization of our products.

 

If, in the future, the purposes for which we operate our facility in The Woodlands, Texas, or any new facilities we open, changes, the allocation of the costs incurred in operating that facility between cost of sales and research and development expenses could change to reflect such operational changes.

 

Research and Development Expenses:  Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and include salaries and benefits, costs paid to third-party contractors for research, development and manufacturing of materials and devices, and a portion of facilities cost. Prototype development costs are a significant component of research and development expenses and include costs associated with third-party contractors. Invoicing from third-party contractors for services performed can lag several months. We accrue the costs of services rendered in connection with third-party contractor activities based on our estimate of management fees,

site management and monitoring costs and data management costs. Actual costs may differ in some cases from estimated costs and are adjusted for in the period in which they become known.

 

Intangible Assets:  Our intangible assets represent patents and patent applications, acquired from third parties, which are recorded at cost and amortized over the life of the patent.  We review the value recorded for intangible assets to assess recoverability from future operations using undiscounted cash flows. Impairments are recognized in operating results to the extent the carrying value exceeds fair value determined based on the net present value of estimated future cash flows.  Impairment would then be measured as the difference between the fair value of the fixed or amortizing intangible asset and the carrying value to determine the amount of the impairment.

 

Stock-Based Compensation:  We recognize the cost of stock options and restricted stock which requires us to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award.  That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the reward—known as the requisite service period. No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service. The grant-date fair value of employee share options and similar instruments will be estimated using option-pricing models adjusted for the unique characteristics of those instruments. We apply to all options granted or modified after its effective date and also to recognize the cost associated with the portion of any option awards made before its effective date for which the associated service has not been rendered as of its effective date.

 

Derivatives: We record and carry certain derivatives (embedded and free standing instruments) on the balance sheet as either liabilities or assets at fair value.  Derivatives are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized through earnings as they occur.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Comparison of the three months ending March 31, 2010 and 2009

 

REVENUES.  During the first quarter of 2010 we began to manufacture, market and sell our thin film product, and we are no longer considered a developmental stage entity as defined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board.

 

Revenues were $63,536 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2009.

 

COST OF REVENUES.  Cost of revenues include all direct expenses associated with the delivery of services including internal labor costs.

c) Lab expense decreased by approximately $43,000 to $10,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $53,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 primarily due to decreased services related to prototype development; and

 

d) Travel expense attributable to research and development stayed constant at $26,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and the three months ended March 31, 2009.

a) Debt issuance expense increased to an expense of $142,612 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to $0 during the three months ended March 31, 2010, due to the debt raised in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th quarter of 2009 and 1st quarter of 2010.

 

b) Interest income (expense), net decreased to an expense of ($66,327) for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to income of $3,530 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 primarily due to less cash on hand and interest expense associated with the debt raised in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th quarter of 2009 and 1st quarter of 2010.

 

NET LOSS.   Net loss increased to $2,147,271 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, as compared to $1,819,586 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. We compute our net loss per share on the basis of net loss attributable to common stockholders, which included the effects of certain items not included in the determination of net loss. Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $2,147,271 as compared to a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $3,001,262 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The net loss attributable to common stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2009 includes $1,181,676 of accrued but unpaid preferred stock dividends.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Transactions

 

We do not engage in material off-balance sheet transactions.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Operating Activities

 

Cash used in operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2010 decreased to $536,130 as compared to $896,870 used for the three months ended March 31, 2009. This is primarily attributable to a decrease in research and development expense for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

 

Investing Activities

 

Cash used for investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2010 and three months ended March 31, 2009 amounted to $0.

 

Financing Activities

 

We have financed our operating and investing activities primarily from the proceeds of private placements of common stock, convertible investor notes, Series A Convertible Preferred Stock offering which we closed in December 2004 and

 

19



Table of Contents

 

January 2005 and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock offering which we closed in February 2007 and Series C Convertible Preferred Stock offering we closed in September 2007 and various convertible notes offering which closed in 2009. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the total net cash provided by financing activities was $666,274, from the net proceeds received from convertible notes.  During the three months ended March 31, 2009, the total net cash provided by financing activities was $0.

 

Working Capital

 

As of March 31, 2010, we had a cash balance of $0.4 million. In the 4th quarter of 2008, the Company’s management began to reduce operating expenses and delay planned expenditures to preserve the Company’s working capital.  In the second quarter of 2009, the Company raised a total of $650,000 in convertible notes.  In the third quarter of 2009, the Company raised a total of $1,275,000 in convertible notes.  In the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company raised a total of $400,000 in convertible notes.  In the first quarter of 2010, the Company raised a total of $775,000 in convertible notes.    We project that current cash reserves will sustain our operations at least through May 15, 2010, and we are not aware of any trends or potential events that are likely to impact our short term liquidity through this term.

 

We are a company and have not experienced significant operations since our formation. We reached a positive working capital position as of the first quarter of 2005 as a result of our financing activities. We have incurred significant operating losses during the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 and the three months ended March 31, 2010. Our principal activities have been organizational matters, capital raising activities including issuance of stock, product research and development, fund raising, and market research.

 

To date, we have had only a few revenue-generating services or development contracts.  See “Risk Factors” included in our 2009 Form 10-K.

 

Management will work to establish specific applications for our display technology that will generate significant revenues and cash flows to support operations.

 

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

 

Not applicable.

 

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As of March 31, 2010, management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  Based on their evaluation, management concluded that, as of March 31, 2010, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that material information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that it is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

We maintain a system of internal control over financial reporting that is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  On March 14, 2010, our former Chief Financial Officer resigned.  As a result, we have changed certain controls over financial reporting.  Specifically, all significant cash expenditures and other safekeeping of cash controls are reviewed and approved by our Chief Executive Officer.  We believe that these changes do not impact the operating effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter.
