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,” “the Company,” “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 Capital Market under the ticker symbol “UNXL.”

Uni-Pixel produces Clearly Superior™ Performance Engineered Film™ to the lighting & display and flexible electronics market segments. The Company has 2 patents issued and 93 patent applications filed covering its Performance Engineered Film™ development and manufacturing platforms.

Uni-Pixel’s UniBoss™ is a roll-to-roll or continuous flow printed electronics manufacturing process that offers high fidelity replication of surface micro structures, advanced micro-optic structures, and conductive elements on thin film.  Our roll-to-roll production capabilities result in low production costs which allow us to competitively price our product at or below the price of other products in the market today.

 Uni-Pixel’s strategy is to develop proprietary Performance Engineered Film™ for applications in large established markets that are susceptible to technology disruption and can potentially deliver Uni-Pixel high profit growth. The Company plans to sell its printed films for applications such as protective cover film, antennas, touch panel sensors, custom circuitry, etc.  A key focus for Uni-Pixel is developing electronic conductive films for use in electronic sensors for consumer and industrial applications.  Uni-Pixel is currently shipping protective cover films for personal devices. The Company sells its protective cover film under the Clearly Superior™ or Diamond Guard™ brand.  Our strategy is to sell our printed film-based products under the Uni-Pixel label, private labels, and through Original Equipment Manufacturers’ (“OEM”) brands.

Uni-Pixel is exploring the business potential within key application markets and pursuing those markets that offer profitable opportunities either through licensing or partnerships and/or direct sales.  Uni-Pixel anticipates that its initial film capabilities and partner funded product development capabilities will allow the Company to fund and support further technology development and market expansion. Uni-Pixel has and will continue to utilize contract manufacturing for prototype fabrication to augment its internal capabilities in the short term. Through Uni-Pixel’s internal research and development efforts, the Company has established an extensive portfolio of patents and patent applications, as well as other intellectual property rights that support these joint venture, licensing and manufacturing strategies.

As of June 30, 2013, Uni-Pixel had accumulated a total deficit of $75.1 million from operations in pursuit of these objectives.

Since our inception, we have been primarily engaged in developing our initial product technologies, recruiting personnel, commencing our operations and obtaining sufficient capital to meet our working capital needs. In the course of our development activities, we have sustained losses through December 31, 2012. We will finance our operations primarily through our existing cash and possible future financing transactions.

As of June 30, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents of $53.4 million.  We believe that our existing capital resources are adequate to finance our operations until at least December 31, 2014 based on our current long-term business plan.  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 capital through offerings of our debt or equity securities to meet our business objectives.

The Company is subject to a number of risks, including the rate and degree of market acceptance of our products, our ability to develop and market new and enhanced products, our ability to obtain financing as and when we need it, competition from existing and new products, fluctuation of quarterly financial results, reliance on third party manufacturers and suppliers, reliance on the proprietary technology of others, loss of key personnel, uncertain protection for our intellectual property, litigation or other proceedings, dependence on corporate partners and collaborators and future changes in the electronic market industry that may adversely affect the Company.
