Organization and Basis of Presentation

OryonTechnologies, Inc. (“Oryon” or the “Company”) has only one direct subsidiary, OryonTechnologies, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“OTLLC”) is a developer of a patented electroluminescent (“EL”) lighting technology, trademarked as Elastolite®, which enables thin, flexible, crushable, water-resistant lighting systems to be incorporated into multiple applications such as safety apparel, sporting goods, consumer goods and membrane switches, among others. OTLLC is the parent of two wholly-owned companies: OryonTechnologies Licensing, LLC (“OTLIC”) and OryonTechnologiesDevelopment, LLC (“OTD”), both of which are also Texas limited liability companies.

OTLLC also previously owned OryonTechnologies International Pte. Ltd. (“OTI”), a Singapore-based corporation. Operations at OTI were suspended in May 2009 and OTI was liquidated in November 2012. The operations of OTI were not material to Oryon. OTI originally owned 51% of Oryon-Asia Pacific Safety, Limited (“OAPS”), which was formed in December 2006 as a Hong Kong limited company. During 2011, the 51% ownership was transferred to OTLLC. The other 49% of OAPS was owned by two non-affiliated individuals. Operations of OAPS were suspended in February 2011 and OAPS is in the final stage of liquidation. The operations of OAPS were not material to Oryon.

The accompanying audited financial statements of Oryon have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Because a precise determination of many assets and liabilities is dependent upon future events, the preparation of financial statements for a period necessarily involves the use of estimates, which have been made using careful judgment. Actual results may vary from these estimates.

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applicable to a going concern, which assume that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for its next fiscal year. Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown and these financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. At December 31, 2012, the Company had cash of $169.7 thousand but had not yet achieved profitable operations, had accumulated losses of $10,686.1 thousand since its inception and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business, all of which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due.

The Company expects to continue to incur substantial losses as it executes its business plan and does not expect to attain profitability in the near future. Since its inception, the Company has funded operations through short-term borrowings and equity investments in order to meet its strategic objectives. The Company’s future operations are dependent upon external funding and its ability to execute its business plan, realize sales and control expenses. Management believes that sufficient funding will be available from additional borrowings and equity placements to meet its business objectives, including anticipated cash needs for working capital, for a reasonable period of time. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain sufficient funds to continue the development of its business operation, or if obtained, upon terms favorable to the Company.

These audited financial statements should be read in conjunction with information provided in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the periods presented have been reflected herein.
