Note 1. Background Information

 

Dais Corporation (“Dais”, “us,” “we,”, the “Company”), a New York corporation, is a nano-structured polymer technology materials company having developed and now commercializing products using its platform of nanomaterial called Aqualyte™. The Company was incorporated in April 1993 and its corporate headquarters is in Odessa, Florida.

 

Our Products

 

The Company’ uses its proprietary Aqualyte nanomaterial to integrate it into traditional or new product form factors. It is management’s belief based on 3rd party industry or independent test results, the Company’s own testing, or data from customer use that the resulting product’s features and benefits address the growing market needs resulting from, but not limited to, the drivers of climate change as well as those needs created by the pandemic.

 

Nanomaterial Platform - Aqualyte™

 

Aqualyte Nanomaterial is made from commercially available polymer resin and industrial grade solvents which are mixed using a proprietary process with traditional industrial equipment, and solvents. The resin and the solvents are commercially available from a number of chemical supply houses or firms such as Dow. Our process changes the molecular properties of the starting polymer resins such that in their final Aqualyte form they offer very different properties.

 

Aqualyte is a technology with carefully tailored properties for use in air, energy, and water applications. This modified block copolymer membrane with a nanoscale structure serves as the foundation of the Dais product line. The material forms a nonporous plastic membrane able to move moisture through itself while blocking passage of most gases and volatile compounds. Company and third party data suggest the membrane is robust and has no pores to clog or to accumulate bacterial or fungal growth over time. Multiple independent third parties have validated the performance of Aqualyte and the protection it provides from the harmful effects of viral and bacterial pathogens, differentiating products using the Aqualyte Nanomaterial Platform from their competition.

 

The Company continues to develop next generation versions of its Aqualyte nanomaterial working to increase existing feature performance, add new features, and improving its cost. The Company sells Aqualyte to skilled OEMs using it’s features and properties to create their own improved or new products in a range of applications.

ConsERV™

 

We continue to work to expand sales channels to drive growth of revenues of the ConsERV product. ConsERV is an HVAC energy conservation and emissions lowering product which should, according to various tests, save up to 30% on HVAC operating costs, lower CO2 emissions and allow HVAC equipment to be up to 30% smaller, reducing peak energy usage by up to 20% while simultaneously improving indoor air quality. This product makes most forms of HVAC systems operate more efficiently and results, in many cases, in energy and cost savings. When compared to similar competitive products, we believe, based on test results conducted by the Air-conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI), a leading industry association, ConsERV maintains an industry leading position in the management of latent heat.

 

The Company is dependent on third parties to manufacture the key components needed for its nanostructured materials and some portion of the value-added products made with these materials. Accordingly, a suppliers’ failure to supply components in a timely manner, or to supply components that meet the Company’s quality, quantity and cost requirements or technical specifications, or the inability to obtain alternative sources of these components on a timely basis or on acceptable terms, would create delays in production of the Company’s products and/or increase its unit costs of production. Certain of the components or the processes of the Company’s suppliers are proprietary. If the Company was ever required to replace any of its suppliers, it should be able to obtain comparable components from alternative suppliers at comparable costs, but this would create a delay in production and may briefly affect the Company’s operations.
