Uni-Pixel, Inc.

(A Development Stage Company)

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 development stage company that has developed, patented and demonstrated a new color display technology in the form of proof of concept prototypes which we call Time Multiplexed Optical Shutter (“TMOS”).  We intend to be a leader in the research, development and commercialization of new flat panel displays using TMOS in a variety of applications, such as mobile phones, digital cameras, notebook computers, televisions and other consumer electronic devices. Our work developing TMOS has led to advances in the thin film arena that have other marketable applications.  We intend to explore the business potential within these applications and pursue those thin film markets that offer profitable opportunities either through licensing or direct production and sales.  As of March 31, 2009, we had accumulated a total deficit of $45.3 million from operations in pursuit of these objectives.

 

We anticipate that our TMOS displays will be thin, lightweight, and power-efficient devices, which are highly suitable for use in full-color display applications.  We believe TMOS displays will be able to capture a share of the growing $90+ billion flat panel display market due to the significant advantages it should provide over competing displays with respect to manufacturing and materials cost, brightness, power efficiency, viewing angle, and video response time and image quality.  We believe that our technology leadership and intellectual property position will enable us to generate revenues initially from TMOS displays for existing vertical market segments such as the military, avionics, and automotive segments, and then subsequently from consumer electronics markets (i.e., TVs, monitors, personal computers, cameras, games, etc.).

 

Our strategy is to further develop our proprietary TMOS technology to the point of being able to transition the technology to manufacturing partners.  We have and will continue to utilize contract manufacturing for prototype fabrication to augment our internal capabilities in the short term.  We also plan to be a supplier of our key thin film component and to enter into joint ventures in certain vertical market segments to exploit the existing manufacturing and distribution channels of our targeted partners.  We plan to license our technology 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 our internal research and development efforts we have established a portfolio of TMOS-related patents and patent applications and other intellectual property rights that support these joint venture and licensing strategies.  We currently have 32 issued patents, 4 allowed patents, and 81 pending patent applications filed in key venues worldwide including regionally in Europe, Asia Pacific, South America and North America. We also contemplate obtaining exclusive field-of-use licenses (which would include the right to sublicense) to complementary technologies from targeted strategic partners and U.S. national laboratories.

 

During the course of 2008 we developed our first independent thin film product opportunity.  This unique variation of the thin film developed for TMOS can be applied to a variety of touch screen product devices as a protective cover.  We intend to market this thin film product under our brand, Opcuity™, to various potential distribution and channel partners.

 

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 May 2009. 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 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

Table of Contents

 

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, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1.1 million.  We believe that our existing capital resources are adequate to finance our operations until May 2009.  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.

 

Acquisition and merger and basis of presentation

 

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.

 

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.

 

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 $1.8 million and $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, has negative working capital of $0.2 million and has an accumulated deficit of $45.3 million as of March 31, 2009.  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 collaborative or other arrangements with corporate sources, or secure other sources of financing to fund operations.  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.

 

On February 13, 2007, the Company raised $12 million in a private placement of its Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (see Note 5) and on September 28, 2007, the Company raised an additional $10 million in a private placement of its Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (see Note 5), which management believes will enable the Company to continue operations until May 2009.

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, 2009 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 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, 2008, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 6, 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, 2009 and December 31, 2008.  The amounts held in these banks did not exceed the insured limit of $250,000 as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, 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, 2009 and December 31, 2008, we held an investment account

 

9



Table of Contents

 

of $666,477 and $1,662,973, 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, 2009 and December 31, 2008, 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, 2009 and December 31, 2008.  The restricted cash has been segregated into current and long-term classifications based on its anticipated liquidation.

 

Property and equipment

 

Property and equipment, consisting primarily of lab equipment, computer equipment, software, leasehold improvements, and office furniture and fixtures is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization for financial reporting purposes is provided by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of three to five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the remaining lease term or the life of the asset, whichever is shorter. The cost of repairs and maintenance is charged as an expense as incurred.  Gains or losses related to retirements or dispositions of fixed assets are recognized in the period incurred.

 

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.

 

Derivative instruments

 

We account for all derivative financial instruments in accordance with SFAS No.  133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” and related Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) interpretations and Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules, which require that certain embedded and freestanding derivative instruments be classified as a liability and measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized currently in earnings.  The Company has recorded changes in fair value as an other expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Revenue recognition

 

We recognize revenue over the period the service is performed in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” (“SAB 104”). In general, SAB 104 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.

 

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

 

Revenue from development contracts are recognized when the contract is completed and collectibility is reasonably assured.  Deferred revenue on these contracts of $33,333 as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 consists of a development contract to produce and deliver a prototype device.

 

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.

Table of Contents

 

Stock-based compensation

 

We recognize the cost of stock options and restricted stock in accordance with SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004) (“SFAS No. 123(R)”), “Share Based Payment.”  SFAS No. 123(R) 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.  SFAS No. 123 must be applied to all options granted or modified after its effective date and also to recognize the cost associated with the portion of any option award made before its effective date for which the associated service has not been rendered as of its effective date.

 

We may, from time to time, issue common stock, stock options or common stock warrants to acquire services or goods from non-employees. Common stock, stock options and common stock warrants issued to persons other than employees or directors are recorded on the basis of their fair value, as required by SFAS No. 123(R),  which is measured as of the date required by EITF Issue 96-18 (“EITF 96-18”), “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services.”  In accordance with EITF 96-18, the stock options or common stock warrants are valued using the Black-Scholes model on the basis of the market price of the underlying common stock on the “valuation date,” which for options and warrants related to contracts that have substantial disincentives to non-performance, is the date of the contract, and for all other contracts is the vesting date. Expense related to the options and warrants is recognized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the period over which services are to be received or the vesting period. Where expense must be recognized prior to a valuation date, the expense is computed under the Black-Scholes model on the basis of the market price of the underlying common stock at the end of the period, and any subsequent changes in the market price of the underlying common stock through the valuation date is reflected in the expense recorded in the subsequent period in which that change occurs.

 

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, 2009. There are no current or deferred tax expenses for the three month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 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, 2009, options and warrants to purchase 19,940,843 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $1.10 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.  Further, at March 31, 2009, 18,717,808 shares of common stock, convertible from Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and associated dividends, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share as there effect would be antidilutive.  Further, at March 31, 2009, 8,000,790 shares of common stock, convertible from Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and associated dividends, 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, notes payable and derivative liabilities reflect their respective carrying amounts.

 

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

 

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company partially adopted SFAS 157, which provides a framework for measuring fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The partial adoption of this standard only resulted in additional disclosure requirements and had no financial statement impact. Delayed application of this statement is permitted for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually), until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. As of January 1, 2009, the Company has applied the provisions of SFAS 157 for intangible assets and long-lived assets measured for fair value for impairment assessment under Statement 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. The adoption of SFAS 157 did not impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities — Including an Amendment of SFAS No. 115 (SFAS 159). This standard permits an entity to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Most of the provisions in SFAS No. 159 are elective; however, the amendment to SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, applies to all entities with available-for-sale and trading securities. The fair value option established by SFAS 159 permits the Company to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. The Company will report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The fair value option: (a) may be applied instrument by instrument, with a few exceptions, such as investments  otherwise accounted for by the equity method; (b) is irrevocable (unless a new election date occurs); and (c) is applied only to entire instruments and not to portions of instruments. In connection with the adoption of this standard, the Company did not elect any additional financial instruments to be recorded at fair value.

 

Effective December 31, 2008, the Company adopted the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 08-4: Transition Guidance for Conforming Changes to Issue No. 98-5 (EITF 08-4), which was ratified by the consensus of the FASB in June 2008.  The objective of EITF 08-4 is to provide transition guidance for conforming changes made to Issue No. 98-5 “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios” that resulted from Issue No. 00-27, “Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments,” and FASB Statement No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. This transition guidance is unique in that the current changes reflect matters that should have been addressed in the past, but were missed. Issue No. 08-4 concludes that conforming changes made to Issue No. 98-5 that result from Issue No. 00-27 and Statement No. 150 are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal  years ending after December 15, 2008. The effect of these changes is to be applied retrospectively with the cumulative effect of the change being reported in retained earnings. If a company must make a change in its accounting to implement these changes, then the disclosure requirements in FAS 154 should be followed. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of EITF 08-4.   The adoption of EITF 08-4 did not impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In May 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position (FSP) EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions are Participating Securities. This staff position addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting and, therefore, need to be included in the allocation in computing earnings per share under the two-class method described in SFAS 128, Earnings Per Share. The FASB concluded that all outstanding unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to nonforfeitable dividends participate in undistributed earnings with common shareholders. If awards are considered participating securities, the Company is required to apply the two-class method of computing basic and diluted earnings per share. FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is prohibited. The implementation of EIFT 03-6-1 did not impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2007, FASB issued EITF 07-1, “Accounting for Collaborative Arrangements” (“EITF 07-1”).”   EITF 07-1 requires additional disclosures related to collaborative arrangements. EITF 07-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008.  The implementation of EIFT 07-1 did not impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

 

In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an Amendment of Statement No. 133 (SFAS 161). SFAS 161 enhances disclosure requirements about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of SFAS 161.

Equity instruments issued to non-employees

 

From time to time, in order to preserve cash and to fund our operating activities, common stock or other equity instruments may be issued for cash or in exchange for goods or services. Equity instruments issued for goods or services are recorded at the fair value of the goods or services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.  During 2007, we did the following:

 

·                  Effective January 15, 2007, we requested and Lusierna Asset Management, Ltd.

The Warrant shall vest in twelve (12) monthly installments on the tenth (10th) day of each month, commencing in the First Payment Month. The initial payment shall be for 75,000 shares, with the remaining 225,000 shares equally divided into the remaining eleven (11) installments.  The Company utilized the Black-Scholes methodology in determining the fair market value of the warrants of $86,803 and this amount is expensed over 12 months.

 

Common Stock

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2009, (1) we issued no shares of common stock for cash in connection with the exercise of stock options; (2) issued no shares of common stock in exchange for cashless exercise of warrants; (3) issued no shares of common stock in connection with the conversion of Series B Preferred Stock and accrued dividends; and (4) issued no shares of common stock in connection with the conversion of Series C Preferred Stock and accrued dividends.

 

Series B Convertible Preferred Stock

 

On February 13, 2007, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with The Raptor Global Portfolio Ltd., The Tudor BVI Global Portfolio Ltd., Tudor Proprietary Trading, L.L.C. and The Altar Rock Fund L.P. (collectively, the “Purchasers”) pursuant to which the Company sold on that date in a private placement to the Purchasers (a) 3,200,000 shares of the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), and (b) warrants (the “Series B Warrants”) to purchase, in aggregate, up to 6,839,279 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 for an aggregate purchase price of $12,000,000.  As the Series B Preferred Stock is redeemable for cash at the option of the holder after five years, the Series B Preferred Stock is classified as temporary equity on the balance sheet.  In accordance with EITF 00-27, the Company determined that the Series B Preferred Stock contained a beneficial conversion feature with an intrinsic value of $3,715,602, which was credited to additional paid-in capital in the first quarter of 2007, and is being amortized over five years.  The Company utilized the Black-Scholes methodology in determining the fair market value of the Series B Warrants of $3,715,602, which was credited to additional paid-in capital in the first quarter of 2007, and is being amortized over five years.

 

Dividends shall accrue, whether or not declared and paid, on the Series B Preferred Stock at the rate per annum of 8%, and shall be cumulative as to any dividends not declared and paid in any year, compounding annually at the same rate.  These dividends are charged to additional paid-in capital.  Each share of Series B Preferred Stock may, at the option of the holder, be converted at any time into a number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock of the Company equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the original issue price of $3.75 for the Series B Preferred Shares, plus all accrued and unpaid Series B Preferred Stock dividends and any other declared and unpaid dividends, by the initial Series B Preferred Stock conversion price of $0.75, which is subject to adjustment from time to time in accordance with the Certificate of Designations.  As of March 31, 2009, there were 3,200,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding, with cumulative unpaid dividends of approximately $2,038,356 or 543,562 shares of Series B Preferred Stock.

Dividends shall accrue, whether or not declared and paid, on the Series C Preferred Stock at the rate per annum of 8%, and shall be cumulative as to any dividends not declared and paid in any year, compounding annually at the same rate. These dividends are charged to additional paid-in capital.  Each share of Series C Preferred Stock may, at the option of the holder, be converted at any time into a number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock of the Company equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the original issue price of $11.20 for the Series C Preferred Shares, plus all accrued and unpaid Series C Preferred Stock dividends and any other declared and unpaid dividends, by the initial Series C Preferred Stock conversion price of $1.40, which is subject to adjustment from time to time in accordance with the Certificate of Designations.  As of March 31, 2009, there were 892,858 shares of Series C Preferred Stock outstanding, with cumulative unpaid dividends of approximately $1,201,097 or 107,241 shares of Series C Preferred Stock.

The Stock Incentive Plan is discretionary and allows for an aggregate of up to 2,000,000 shares of our common stock to be awarded through incentive and non-qualified stock options and stock appreciation rights. The Stock Incentive Plan is administered by our Board of Directors, which has exclusive discretion to select participants who will receive the awards and to determine the type, size and terms of each award granted.

Other Stock Options

 

In the first quarter of 2009, we did not grant any other stock options.

 

The following disclosures provide information regarding the Company’s stock-based compensation awards, all of which are classified as equity awards in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R):

 

Stock options. The Company grants stock options to employees that allow them to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. Options are also granted to members of the Board of Directors.  The Company determines the fair value of stock options at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model.  Most options vest annually over a three-year service period.  The Company will issue new shares upon the exercise of stock options.

 

Total compensation expense recognized for options was approximately $0.6 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008, respectively.  The Company has recorded approximately $0.2 million of stock compensation expense in selling, general and administrative expenses and approximately $0.4 million in research and development expense for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and approximately $0.2 million of stock compensation expense in selling, general and administrative expenses and approximately $0.1 million in research and development expense for the three months ended March 31, 2008.

Note 6 -    Fair Value Measurements

 

As of January 1, 2008, the Company implemented FAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“FAS 157”) for its financial assets and liabilities that are remeasured and reported at fair value at each reporting period and non-financial assets and liabilities that are remeasured and reported at fair value at least annually. In accordance with the provisions of FSP No. FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, the Company elected to defer implementation of FAS 157 as it relates to its non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities that are recognized and disclosed at fair value in the consolidated financial statements on a nonrecurring basis until January 1, 2009.

 

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 following table presents information about the Company’s financial assets that have been measured at fair value as of March 31, 2009, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs utilized to determine such fair value (in thousands):

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 2008 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 accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” (“SAB 104”). In general, SAB 104 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. The amount of the revenue deferred represents the fair value of the remaining undelivered products measured in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue (“EITF”) 00-21, “Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables,” which addresses the issue of accounting for arrangements that involve the delivery of multiple products or services.

 

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.

Table of Contents

 

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 in accordance with SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004) (“SFAS No. 123(R)”), “Share Based Payment.”  SFAS No. 123(R) 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. SFAS No. 123 must be applied 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.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Comparison of the three months ending March 31, 2009 and 2008

 

REVENUES.  We are a development stage company that has developed, patented and demonstrated a new color display technology in the form of proof of concept prototypes which we call Time Multiplexed Optical Shutter (“TMOS”).  We intend to be a leader in the research, development and commercialization of new flat panel displays using TMOS in a variety of applications, such as mobile phones, digital cameras, notebook computers, televisions and other consumer electronic devices. From inception, we have had a limited amount of revenue that is derived from development contracts.

 

Revenues were $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and the three months ended March 31, 2008.

 

COST OF REVENUES.  Cost of revenues include all direct expenses associated with the delivery of services including internal labor costs. Cost of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $0.

Working Capital

 

As of March 31, 2009, we had a cash balance of $1.1 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.  We project that current cash reserves will sustain our operations at least through May 2009, and we are not aware of any trends or potential events that are likely to impact our short term liquidity through this term.

 

On February 13, 2007, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with The Raptor Global Portfolio Ltd., The Tudor BVI Global Portfolio Ltd., Tudor Proprietary Trading, L.L.C. and The Altar Rock Fund L.P. (collectively, the “Purchasers”) pursuant to which we sold on that date in a private placement to the Purchasers (a) 3,200,000 authorized but unissued shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), and (b) warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase, in aggregate, up to 6,839,279 shares at $1.24 per share, of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001, for an aggregate purchase price of $12,000,000.

 

On September 28, 2007, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “ ML Purchase Agreement”) with Merrill Lynch Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated (the “ ML Purchaser”) pursuant to which the Company sold on that date in a private placement to the ML Purchaser (a) 892,858 authorized but unissued shares of the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series C Preferred Stock”), and (b) warrants (the “ML Warrants”) to purchase, in aggregate, up to 3,214,289 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 for an aggregate purchase price of $10,000,010.

 

We are a development stage 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 and 2008 and the three months ended March 31, 2009. We intend to utilize a proprietary methodology for development of our displays. Our principal activities, from the beginning of the development stage, 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.  These include a prototype development agreement with a large personal computer company, and a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase One agreement with the U.S. Air Force for $98,214 and a follow-on Phase Two agreement for $686,966.  We also entered into a prototype development agreement with Lockheed Martin, a large military contractor, in October 2005, for which we have received full payment.  Our immediate customer prospects are limited to Lockheed Martin, with which we entered into a License and Strategic Business Agreement dated October 5, 2005.  See “Risk Factors” included in our 2008 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.
