VUZIX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Vuzix Corporation and Subsidiaries (“the Company") have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for interim financial information (“GAAP”) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012 was derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements in Form 10-K.

The accompanying condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company as of December 31, 2012, as reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The results of the Company’s operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of the Company’s operations for any other interim period or for a full fiscal year.

The results of the Company’s former Tactical Display Group business have been classified and presented as discontinued operations in the accompanying unaudited condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations (Note 3). Prior period results have been adjusted to conform to this presentation. No other adjustments have been made to the unaudited condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and following notes.

All per share amounts, outstanding shares, warrants, options and shares issuable pursuant to convertible securities for all periods reflect the 1-for-75 reverse split of the Company’s common stock, which was effective February 6, 2013.

Note 2 — Liquidity and Going Concern Issues

The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm’s report issued on our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 included an explanatory paragraph describing the existence of conditions that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, including continued operating losses and the potential inability to pay currently due debts. The Company has incurred a net loss from continuing operations consistently over the last 2 years. The net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $4,449,734. The Company incurred annual net losses from its continuing operations of $4,747,387 in 2012 and $5,332,866 in 2011, and has an accumulated deficit of $30,596,038 as of September 30, 2013. The Company’s ongoing losses have had a significant negative impact on the Company’s financial position and liquidity.

The Company’s cash requirements are primarily for funding operating losses, working capital, research, principal and interest payments on debt obligations, and capital expenditures. Historically, the Company has met these cash needs by borrowings under notes, sales of convertible debt, the sales of equity securities and the sale of assets. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to borrow or sell securities in the future, which raises substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets carrying amounts or the amount of and classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Following the sale of assets relating to the Company’s Tactical Display Group business (the “TDG Assets”) on June 15, 2012 and subsequent debt repayments, the Company was for a limited time period no longer in default under the various covenants then contained in its agreements with its Convertible, Senior Secured Term loan lender and with its bank which provided Lines of Credit under a secured revolving loan agreement. This asset sale, debt repayments and other debt deferrals improved the working capital position of the Company. However due to its continued operating losses and the transition of its business away from its former military related product sales, the Company experienced further increase in its working capital deficiency.

	6

In connection with the Company’s need for additional capital, on March 21, 2013, the Company issued a secured convertible debenture in the amount of $800,000. The debenture bore interest at a rate of 16% per year, payable quarterly in cash or shares of common stock at our option. Commencing on February 1, 2014, the Company was required to redeem a certain amount under the debenture on a periodic basis in an amount equal to $200,000 on each of February 1, 2014, May 1, 2014 and August 1, 2014 and $50,000 on each of August 1, 2015, August 1, 2016, August 1, 2017 and March 21, 2018, until the debenture’s maturity date of March 21, 2018. Additionally on July 15, 2013 the Company issued a $200,000 secured convertible debenture maturing on March 21, 2008. The debenture bore interest at a rate of 16%, payable quarterly and had principal repayments commencing on February 1, 2014.

Management of the Company sought to raise additional capital needed to continue operations. On August 5, 2013, the Company closed its public offering of 4,025,000 shares of common stock, and warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 4,025,000 shares of common stock, at a public offering price of $2.00 per share and $0.0001 per warrant. The warrants have a per share exercise price of $2.25, are exercisable immediately, and expire 5 years from the date of issuance. Total gross proceeds from the public offering were $8,050,000, before underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses payable by Vuzix. Simultaneous with the closing of this public offering $2,316,013 in outstanding secured debt and accrued interest thereon, converted into common stock and warrants with the same material terms at a conversion price equal to the offering price of $2.00. Additionally $1,642,570 in outstanding long-term accrued compensation and accrued interest owed to our officers was converted into common stock and similar warrants at a conversion price equal to the offering price of $2.00. Approximately $2,265,000 of outstanding notes, convertible debentures, bank loan, and early debt repayment penalties was paid out on closing.

The public offering and related debt conversions and repayments have allowed the Company to cure all its prior debt defaults. Since the closing of the public offering, the Company has had the financial resources to better execute on its business plans but it still must grow its business significantly to become profitable and self-sustaining on a cash flow basis. In the event that the Company is unable to do so in a timely manner, the Company would need to pursue other financing alternatives in the near future, which could include a private financing, bridge financing or collaboration agreements. The Company may not be able to obtain financing on acceptable terms, or at all, and the Company may not be able to enter into such collaborative arrangements. The terms of any financing may adversely affect the holdings or the rights of the Company’s stockholders. If the Company is unable to obtain funding, the Company could be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate its research and development programs, future commercialization efforts or otherwise curtail its business, which could adversely affect its business prospects.

Note 3 — Discontinued Operations

In an effort to improve working capital, cure debt defaults and pay down debts, on June 15, 2012, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) between the Company and TDG Acquisition Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“TDG”). Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company sold and licensed those of its assets (including equipment, tooling, certain patents and trademarks) (the “TDG Assets”) that comprised its tactical defense group, which engaged in the business of selling and licensing products and providing services, directly and indirectly, to military, defense and security organizations. The sale of the TDG Assets included sale of the Company’s proprietary Tac-Eye displays and its night vision electronics and optics module products. The Company received a worldwide, royalty free, assignable grant-back license to all the patents and other intellectual property sold to TDG, for use in the manufacture and sale of products other than in the military, defense and security markets. The Company retained the right to sell goods and services to other end user consumers, and to TDG and TDG and the Company jointly received the right to sell goods and services into all markets other than the military, defense and security markets and the consumer market. Under the Asset Purchase Agreement, TDG is allowed to sell its goods and services in all markets other than the consumer market or to end users. The Company and TDG also entered into a Vuzix Authorized Reseller Agreement, pursuant to which TDG is authorized as the exclusive reseller of the Company’s current and future products to military, defense and security organizations, unless TDG elects to have the Company make such sales directly.

The purchase price paid to the Company by TDG consisted of two components: $8,345,793 net of adjustments, which was paid at closing, and up to an additional $2.5 million, which TDG would have been required to pay only if TDG achieved certain quarterly and annual revenue targets from sales of goods and services to military, defense and security organizations. Based on financial reports submitted by TDG, none of the revenue targets were achieved, so no further amounts will be received by the Company. The purchase price was determined by arm’s length negotiations between the parties. We recorded a gain before taxes and final adjustments of $5,837,607 from the asset sale.

	7

The following represents the major components of the reported gain on sale:

Net Sales Price	$	8,345,793
Less:
- Professional Fees on Sale of Assets		(825,596)
- Accounts Receivable Sold		(299,599)
- Inventories Sold		(1,135,042)
- Fixed Assets Sold		(120,832)
- Patents and Trademarks Sold		(113,117)
- Sales Taxes on Asset Sale		(14,000)

Net Gain of Sale of Asset	$	5,837,607

In accordance with ASC 205-20, the sale of the TDG Assets has been accounted for as a discontinued operation. Accordingly, the operating results of the TDG Assets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 have been reclassified as discontinued operations in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. Below is a summary of these results:

Note 4 – Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted Earnings per share reflects the potential dilution from the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants and the conversion of debt. During periods of net loss, all common stock equivalents are generally excluded from the diluted EPS calculation because they are antidilutive. A total of 7,422,579 equivalent shares have been excluded from these diluted calculations as they would be anti-dilutive.

Note 5 — Inventories, Net

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (determined on the first-in, first-out or specific identification method) or market and consisted of the following as at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012:

Finished Goods		116,156		222,068

Net	$	645,294	$	687,181

Note 6 — Deferred Offering Costs

Deferred offering costs consist principally of legal, accounting and underwriters’ fees incurred related to the public offering of the Company’s common stock and warrants as discussed in Note 2, which were charged to capital as of the completion of the offering.

Note 11 – Derivative Liability and Fair Value Measurements

The Company recognized a derivative liability for the warrants to purchase 186,480 shares of its common stock issued in connection with the $800,000 convertible senior secured debenture issued on March 21, 2013. These warrants have a cashless exercise provision effective six months after the issuance date and an exercise price that is subject to adjustment in the event of subsequent equity sales at a lower purchase price (subject to certain exceptions) within the first six months. In accordance with ASC 815-10-25 we measured the derivative liability using a Black-Scholes pricing model at the March 21, 2013 issuance date and subsequently remeasured the liability on September 21, 2013. As the exercise price adjustment feature expired causing the warrant to no longer require derivative accounting treatment, the derivative liability then outstanding after revaluation on September 21, 2013 of $526,245 related to these warrants was reclassified to Additonal Paid-in Capital as of September 30, 2013. See Note 15: Warrants for additional information on the warrants issued.

The Company recognized a derivative liability for the warrants to purchase 38,168 shares of its common stock issued in connection with the $200,000 convertible senior secured debenture issued on July 15, 2013. These warrants have a cashless exercise provision effective six months after the issuance date and an exercise price that is subject to adjustment in the event of subsequent equity sales at a lower purchase price (subject to certain exceptions) within the first six months. In accordance with ASC 815-10-25, we measured the derivative liability using a Monte Carlo Options Lattice pricing model at the July 15, 2013 issuance date and subsequently remeasured the liability on September 30, 2013. See Note 15: Warrants for additional information on the warrants issued.

The Company recognized a derivative liability for the warrants to purchase 6,004,288 shares of its common stock issued in connection with the equity offering and related debt conversions issued on August 5, 2013. These warrants have a cashless exercise provision and an exercise price that is subject to adjustment in the event of subsequent equity sales at a lower purchase price (subject to certain exceptions) along with full-ratchet anti-dilution provisions. In accordance with ASC 815-10-25, we measured the derivative liability using a Lattice pricing model at the August 5, 2013 issuance date and subsequently remeasured the liability on September 30, 2013. See Note 15: Warrants for additional information on the warrants issued.

Accordingly, at the end of each quarterly reporting date the derivative fair market value is remeasured and adjusted to current market value. The total derivative liability was revalued to $8,576,160 based on the closing price of our common shares as of September 30, 2013, resulting in a $259,426 gain on the derivative’s valuation for the third quarter ending September 30, 2013 and a $(35,122) (loss) for the nine-months ended September 30, 2013.

The Company concluded that the Put embedded in the senior secured convertible debentures in the event of the Company’s default under the Debenture had such minimal value that it did not record an additional and separate liability for this contingency. Both debentures were repaid in full on August 5, 2013.

The Company has adopted ASC Topic 820 (originally issued as SFAS 157, “Fair Value Measurements”) for financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis. ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). These tiers include:

Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;

Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and

Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

	11

We measure certain financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows at September 30, 2013:

	Total		(Level 1)		(Level 2)		Level (3)
Assets	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	—

The following table summarizes the changes in the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 warrant liabilities:

A Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model was used to estimate the fair value of warrants issued during the first six months of 2013. For third quarter ending September 30, 2013, the Monte Carlo Options Lattice pricing model was used to estimate the fair value of warrants issued during this period. The following summary table shows the assumptions used to compute the fair value of the warrants granted during 2013, their estimated value at the time of their grant and the Level III liability associated with the warrants:

	September 30, 2013			At Issuance
Assumptions for Pricing Model:
Expected term in years		4.5 to 4.8			4.62 to 5.0

Note 12 — Accrued Compensation

Accrued compensation represents amounts owed to officers of the Company for services rendered that remain outstanding. The principal is not subject to a fixed repayment schedule, and interest on the outstanding balances is payable at 8% per annum, compounding monthly. The unpaid principal amounts are shown as Long-Term Liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The respective interest amounts are included in Accrued Interest, under the Long-Term Liabilities section.

On March 27, 2013, the Company entered into a deferred compensation deferral and conversion option agreements with two of its officer, which agreements were subject to the closing of the Company’s planned public stock offering and which agreements were effective upon such closing on August 5, 2013. Pursuant to those agreements the officers each converted their loan amounts plus accrued interest into shares of the Company’s common stock and related warrants, at the conversion price of $2.00, equal to the offering price of the Company’s August 5, 2015 public stock offering.

Convertible, Senior Secured Term Debt. The principal is to be repaid over 15 months, with equal payments of principal beginning on October 15, 2012. The Company has not made any of the required principal payments and is in default and as a result the entire loan amount has been classified as current. The loan bears interest at 13.5%, per annum, which is payable monthly on the 15th of each month. The loan is secured by a first security position in all the Intellectual Property assets of the Company and a security interest in all of the other assets of the Company that is subordinate only to the security interest that secures the Company’s working capital loan.		—		619,122

In connection with the sale of the TDG Assets, certain of the Company’s lenders entered into Loan Modification and Consent agreements pursuant to which each consented to the sale, as required by the loan agreements between the Company and each such lender, and released their security interests in the TDG Assets sold. Pursuant to a Loan Modification and Consent Agreement regarding the Company’s Convertible, Senior Secured Term Debt Loan, which was in default at the time of the sale, the Company paid this Senior Lender $4,450,000 in reduction of the obligations of the Company to the Senior Lender. The obligation of the Company to repay the remaining amount due to the Convertible Senior Secured Term Debt Lender, $619,122 was represented by a new note in that amount. This new note carried an interest rate of 13.5%, to be paid monthly. The principal amount of the note was to be repaid over 15 months, with equal principal payments commencing on October 15, 2012. The Company had also agreed to use 40% of any of the earn-out payments received under the TDG Asset Purchase Agreement to reduce the principal of this new note. The Convertible Senior Secured Term Debt agreement contained certain covenants, including the maintenance of minimum cash, cash equivalents, and undrawn availability under any bank working capital line in an aggregate amount of at least 40% of the sum of (i) the outstanding principal amount of the loan and (ii) unpaid interest. The Company did not make any of its required principal payments and in February 2013 stopped making monthly interest payments. The note plus accrued interest was repaid in full on August 5, 2013.

	13

Pursuant to its original transaction with the holder of the Senior Secured Term Debt, the Company issued to that lender warrants to purchase up to 533,333 shares of common stock (the “Warrants”), at an exercise price of $7.47 per share, exercisable at any time prior to December 23, 2014. The fair value of these Warrants, $1,010,379 was reflected as a discount against the loan amount, but because of the loan’s restructuring and the early repayment of the principal resulting from the TDG Assets sale, the unamortized discount of $636,678 was fully expensed in the second quarter of 2012.

Pursuant to the various other Loan Modification and Consent agreements, each secured term note payable holder agreed to defer further payments on their respective Note Payable due from the Company until July 15, 2013 after which the notes are to be repaid in 24 to 36 equal monthly installments. Additionally the Company had agreed to use 15% of any of the earn-out payments received under the TDG Asset Purchase Agreement to reduce such Notes Payable.

On March 27, 2013, and amended thereafter, the Company entered into several debt conversion agreements with the respective holders of $2,374,682 of the long-term debt reflected in table above. Pursuant to the agreements, each lender agreed to convert its outstanding secured promissory note, together with accrued interest thereon into shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to the closing of the Company’s proposed public stock offering, at a conversion price equal to the public offering price. In connection with the closing of the public offering on August 5, 2013, $1,755,570 of these loan amounts plus accrued interest were converted in common shares and warrants and the remainder was repaid.

On March 21, 2013, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Hillair Capital Management L.P. (Hillair), pursuant to which, on March 21, 2013, the Company issued to Hillair a $800,000 16% secured convertible debenture due March 21, 2018. The debenture bore interest at a rate of 16% per year, payable quarterly in cash or shares of common stock at the Company’s option. Commencing on February 1, 2014, the Company was required to redeem a certain amount under the debenture on a periodic basis in an amount equal to $200,000 on each of February 1, 2014, May 1, 2014 and August 1, 2014 and $50,000 on each of August 1, 2015, August 1, 2016, August 1, 2017 and March 21, 2018, until the debenture’s maturity date of March 21, 2018; payable in cash or common stock at our option subject to certain conditions. The debenture was convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $4.29 per share, subject to certain conversion price adjustments. In connection with the debenture issuance, the Company also issued to Hillair five-year warrants to purchase 186,480 shares of its common stock at an initial exercise price of $4.72 per share, which was subject to exercise price adjustments for only the first six months. Upon the closing of the public offering, the warrant exercise was reduced to $2.25. The warrants were reflected as a derivative liability on the balance sheet and recorded as a discount against the debenture. See Note 11 for further details. Upon the closing of the public offering on August 5, 2013, the debenture principal and accrued interest was repaid along with an early repayment penalty of $160,000, and the warrant exercise price was reduced to $2.25.

On July 15, 2013, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Hillair, pursuant to which the Company issued to Hillair a $200,000 senior secured convertible debenture due March 21, 2018, and (ii) a common stock purchase warrant to purchase up to 38,168 shares of our common stock at an initial exercise price of $5.24 per share, which is subject to exercise price adjustments for the first six months. The warrants may be exercised at any time on or after July 15, 2013 until March 21, 2018. The debenture was convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $5.24 per share, subject to adjustments upon certain events. Interest on the Debenture accrued at the rate of 16% annually and was payable quarterly on February 1, May 1, August 1 and November 1, beginning on August 1, 2013, on any redemption, conversion and at maturity. Interest was payable in cash or at the Company’s option in shares of our common stock, provided certain conditions are met. Commencing on February 1, 2014, the Company would have been obligated to redeem a certain amount under the debenture on a periodic basis in an amount equal to $50,000 on each of February 1, 2014, May 1, 2014 and August 1, 2014 and $12,500 on each of August 1, 2015, August 1, 2016, August 1, 2017 and March 21, 2018, until the debenture’s maturity date of March 21, 2018. Upon the closing of the public offering on August 5, 2013, the debenture principal and accrued interest was repaid along with an early repayment penalty of $40,000, and the warrant exercise price was reduced to $2.25.

	14

Upon closing of the debenture transaction, the Company retained Gentry Capital Advisors LLC (Gentry) as a financial advisor and agreed to pay Gentry a fee of $50,000 over a period of 4 months commencing upon the closing. The Company also issued to Gentry five-year warrants to purchase 20,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $4.72 per share, which warrant contained terms substantially similar to the warrants issued to Hillair. Upon the closing of the public offering, the warrant exercise was reduced to $2.25. The fair value of these warrants upon grant was calculated as $66,603 and was reflected in the deferred debenture issuance costs

In connections with the issuance of the two debentures the Company incurred issuance costs which totaled $257,691, inclusive of the financial advisor’s warrant discussed above. These costs will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the five year life of the debenture. The total of these unamortized issuance costs were expensed on August 5, 2013, simultaneous with the debentures early repayment and closing of the public offering on August 5, 2013.

Note 14 — Income Taxes

The Company’s effective income tax rate is a combination of federal, state and foreign tax rates and differs from the U.S. statutory rate due to taxes on foreign income, permanent differences including tax-exempt interest, and the resolution of tax uncertainties, offset by a valuation allowance against U.S. deferred income tax assets.

At December 31, 2012, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits totaling $5,151,000, which would have a favorable impact on the Company’s provision (benefit), if recognized.

In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company generated federal and state net operating income for income tax purposes before the assumed offset against the Company’s net operating loss carry forwards. These federal and state net operating loss carry forwards total approximately $24,950,000 at September 30, 2013 and begin to expire in 2018, if not utilized. Of the Company’s tax credit carry forwards, $1,399,000 begin to expire in 2017, if not utilized.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Developments and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this quarterly report. The preparation of these statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the appropriate application of certain accounting policies, many of which require us to make estimates and assumptions about future events and their impact on amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements, including the statement of operations, balance sheet, cash flow and related notes. We continually evaluate our estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements, including those related to revenue recognition, bad debts, inventories, warranty reserves, product warranty, carrying value of long-lived assets, valuation of stock compensation awards, and income taxes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not apparent from other sources. Since future events and their impact cannot be determined with certainty, the actual results will inevitably differ from our estimates. Such differences could be material to the consolidated financial statements.

We believe that our application of accounting policies, and the estimates inherently required therein, are reasonable. These accounting policies and estimates are periodically reevaluated, and adjustments are made when facts and circumstances dictate a change. Historically, we have found our application of accounting policies to be appropriate, and actual results have not differed materially from those determined using necessary estimates.

In reading our financial statements, you should be aware of the factors and trends that our management believes are important in understanding our financial performance. Since the sale of the TDG Assets in June 2012, we no longer sell night vision display drive electronics, the Tac-Eye line of Video Eyewear products, and a full range engineering services to defense customers, which will materially reduce our revenue and cash flow in the future. In accordance with ASC 205-20, the sale of the TDG Assets has been accounted for as discontinued operations and accordingly the operating results of the TDG Assets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 have been reclassified as discontinued operations on our consolidated Statements of Operations. The critical accounting policies, judgments and estimates that we believe have the most significant effect on our financial statements are:

	•	valuation of inventories;
	•	carrying value of long-lived assets;
	•	valuation of patents and trademarks;
	•	revenue recognition;
	•	product warranty;
	•	fair value measurement of financial instruments;
	•	embedded derivatives;
	•	stock-based compensation; and
	•	income taxes.

Our accounting policies are more fully described in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report and in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. There have been no significant changes in our accounting policies for the three month period ended September 30, 2013.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, an effect on our financial condition, financial statements, revenues or expenses.

Business Matters

We are engaged in the design, manufacture, marketing and sale of devices that are worn like eyeglasses and feature built-in video screens that enable the user to view video and digital content, such as movies, computer data, the Internet or video games. Our products (known commercially as Video Eyewear, but also commonly referred to as virtual displays, wearable displays, wearable computers, personal viewers, Smart Glasses, head mounted displays (or HMDs), or near-to-eye displays (or NEDs)) are used to view high-resolution video and digital information primarily from mobile electronic devices (such as cell phones, portable media players, gaming systems and laptop computers) and from desktop computers. Our products provide the user a viewing experience that simulates viewing a large screen television or a desktop computer monitor and can be viewed practically anywhere, anytime.

Our Video Eyewear products feature high performance miniature display modules, low power electronics and related optical systems. We produce both monocular and binocular Video Eyewear devices that we believe are excellent solutions for many mobile computer or video viewing requirements. With respect to our Video Eyewear products, we focus on the consumer markets for gaming and mobile video while our Virtual and Augmented Reality products are also sold in the consumer, industrial, commercial, academic and medical markets. As a consequence of the sale of the TDG Assets, we no longer offer products directly to military organizations and defense or security organizations. The consumer electronics and mobile phone accessory markets in which we compete have been subject to rapid technological change including the rapid adoption of tablets and most recently larger screen sizes and display resolutions along with declining prices on mobile phones, and as a result we must continue to improve our products’ performance and lower our costs. We believe our intellectual property portfolio gives us a leadership position in microdisplay electronics, waveguides, ergonomics, packaging, motion tracking and optical systems.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

There are no recent accounting pronouncements that are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

TDG Asset Sale and Discontinued Operations

On June 15, 2012, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with TDG Acquisition Company, LLC pursuant to which we sold the TDG Assets. The TDG Assets included equipment, tooling, certain patents and trademarks and our proprietary Tac-Eye displays and night vision display electronics, which comprised our tactical defense group, which engaged in the business of selling and licensing products and providing services, directly and indirectly, to military organizations and defense and security organizations. We received a worldwide, royalty free, assignable grant-back license to all the patents and other intellectual property sold for use in the manufacture and sale of products to the consumer markets. We retained the right to sell goods and services to the consumer market, and to the purchaser and the purchaser and we jointly received the right to sell goods and services into all markets other than the military, defense and security markets and the consumer market.

The purchase price paid to us consisted of 2 components: $8,500,000 less $154,207 in adjustments, or $8,345,793, which was paid at closing, and up to an additional $2.5 million, which we would have received only if the purchaser achieved certain quarterly and annual revenue targets within the first 12 months after closing the sale of the TDG Assets from sales of goods and services to military organizations and defense and security organizations. Based on financial reports submitted by TDG as June of 30, 2013, none of the revenue targets were achieved, so no further amounts will be received by the Company. The purchase price was determined by arm’s length negotiations between the parties.

In addition, the Asset Purchase Agreement provides that each of the parties will be precluded from conducting business in certain markets, which, in our case, is the sale of goods and services to military, defense and security organizations (provided, we may seek and perform contracts with certain identified government agencies related to our waveguide optics technology) and, in the case of the purchaser, is the sale of goods and services in the consumer markets or to end users. We and the purchaser also entered into a Vuzix Authorized Reseller Agreement, pursuant to which the purchaser was granted authorization to be the exclusive reseller of our current and future products to military, defense and security organizations (and was authorized to use our trademarks for such purpose), unless the purchaser elects to have us make such sales directly. This reseller agreement will be the main avenue for the distribution of any new products we may develop for the military and defense markets.

In connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement, we entered into a new letter agreement with LC Capital Master Fund Ltd., the senior lender under our convertible loan and security agreement and we executed a new note for $619,122, which represented the remaining obligation under the original December 2010 loan. The new note carried interest at a rate of 13.5% (18.5% if in default) and repayment was due in 12 equal payments commencing on October 15, 2012. This loan was repaid in full along with related accrued interest upon closing of the Company’s August 5, 2013 public offering.

In connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement, certain of our creditors entered into loan modification and consent agreements pursuant to which each consented to the sale of the TDG Assets, as required by the terms of existing loan agreements between us and each lender, and released their respective security interests in the TDG Assets. We were required to repay our bank line of credit as a condition to obtaining the required consent of the senior lender for the sale transaction, and the bank line of credit was canceled upon such repayment. Further, pursuant to the various loan modification and consent agreements, we made certain payments totaling $200,000 in reduction of the obligations owed and each lender agreed to defer further payments on their note payables until July 15, 2013 after which the notes are to be repaid in 24 to 36 monthly installments. The majority of these modified loans were converted to common stock in connection of the Company’s August 5, 2013 public offering.

In accordance with ASC 205-20, the sale of the TDG Assets has been accounted for as a discontinued operation. Accordingly, the operating results of the TDG Assets for the three and nine months ending September 30, 2013 and 2012 have been reclassified as discontinued operations on our consolidated Statements of Operations and in the following discussion of our results of operations and financial condition.

Results of Operations

Comparison of Three Months Ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012

Sales. Our sales were $338,816 for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 compared to $756,495 for the same period in 2012. This represents a 55% decrease for the three month period ended September 30, 2013 as compared to 2012. Product sales were $301,076 or 89% of total sales for the third quarter of 2013 as compared to $566,495 or 75% of our total sales for same period in 2012, a decrease of $265,419 or 47%. The decrease was primarily attributable to our very limited working capital and small cash position up until the closing of our August 5^th public offering, which limited our ability to purchase components to build product to match our sales demand. Sales from our engineering programs for the third quarter of 2013, decreased to $37,740 or 11% of total sales compared to $190,000 or 25% of total sales in the same quarter 2012. The major reason for the decrease was the elimination of permitted defense related engineering programs in 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012.

Cost of Sales and Gross Profit. Gross profit decreased to $148,789 for the third quarter of 2013 from $198,845 for the same period in 2012, a decrease of $50,056 or 25%. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit increased to 44% for the third quarter of 2013 compared to 26% for the same period in 2012. This increase was primarily the result of a change in our overall sales mix to higher margin Video Eyewear augmented reality models as compared to the same period in 2012 when general consumer Video Eyewear was sold.

Research and Development. Our research and development expenses increased by $203,072 or 76% in the third quarter of 2013, to $470,302 compared to $267,230 in the same period of 2012. The increase in spending was a direct result of our efforts to ready our new M100 smart glasses for release in the fourth quarter of 2013 and the hiring of additional personnel.

Selling and Marketing. Selling and marketing expenses were $193,650 for the third quarter of 2013 compared to $282,011 for the same period in 2012, a decrease of $88,361 or 31%. The decreases were primarily attributable to lower personnel salary costs, reduced travel costs, and reduced external public relations consulting fees.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses were $585,260 for the third quarter of 2013 as compared to $507,883 for the same period in 2012, an increase of $77,377 or 15%. The overall increase in general and administrative costs reflects higher spending on legal fees, the hiring of investor relations consultants and road show travel costs which were not reflected as part of the public offering costs.

Depreciation and Amortization. Our depreciation and amortization expense for the third quarter of 2013 was $95,595 as compared to $123,983 in the same period in 2012, a decrease of $28,388 or 23%. The decrease was a direct result of a lower depreciable asset base as assets are becoming fully depreciated.

Other (Income) Expense. Total other expenses were $636,394 in the third quarter of 2013 compared to $128,040 in the same period in 2012, an increase of $508,354. Interest costs increased by $185,650 to $307,521 in the third quarter of 2013 as compared to 2012, primarily due interest on new loans received in 2013. We recorded a gain of $259,426 on the derivative liability valuation mark-to-market revaluation for the third quarter versus $0 for the same period in 2012. The amortization of the senior debt discounts was $592,970 reflecting the write-off of the unamortized discount from the early repayment of related loans for the three months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to $6,326 in 2012.

Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes for the third quarter of 2013 was $24,288 as compared to $5,721 for the same period in 2012.

Income from Discontinued Operations and (Loss) Gain on Sale of Discontinued Assets. The amounts for the quarterly period ending September 30, 2013 were $0. In the 2012 comparative period, the Company reported purchase price adjustments and other transactional costs related to this transaction of $65,056.

Net Loss and Loss per Share. Our net loss was $1,856,700 or $0.26 basic loss per share in the quarter ended September 30, 2013, compared to a net loss of $1,181,079 or $0.32 per share for the same period in 2012.

Comparison of Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012

Sales. The Company’s sales were $1,778,195 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $2,517,222 for the same period in 2012. This represents a 29% decrease for the nine month period in 2013 as compared to 2012. Product sales decreased to $1,421,598 or 80% of total sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $2,071,122 or 82% of the Company’s total sales as compared to the same period in 2012. The decrease of 31% in product sales was the direct result of our limited working capital and our inability to buy components to meet our sales demand which caused supply chain delays. Sales from the Company’s engineering programs, both commercial and defense related, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, decreased to $356,597 or 20% of total sales compared to $446,100 or 18% of total sales in same period in 2012. The major reason for the decrease was completion of former defense related programs in the prior year’s period.

Cost of Sales and Gross Profit. Gross profit increased to $844,160 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from $736,929 for the same period in 2012, an increase of $107,231 or 15%. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit increased to 47% for the nine month period ending September 30, 2013 compared to 29% for the same period in 2012. This increase was the primarily the result of a change in our overall sales mix to higher margin consumer Video Eyewear and augmented reality models in 2013, versus the sales mix for the same period in the prior year when a larger percentage of our sales were from lower resolution Video Eyewear products which carried a lower average gross margin.

Research and Development. Our research and development expenses were $1,209,023 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $736,418 for the same period in 2012. The $472,605 or 64% increase in the 2013 period versus 2012 was a direct result of our efforts to ready our new M100 smart glasses for release in the fourth quarter of 2013.

Selling and Marketing. Selling and marketing expenses were $756,134 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $904,987 for the same period in 2012, a decrease of $148,853 or 16%. The decreases were mainly attributable to lower personnel salary costs and reduced external public relations consulting fees.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses were $1,604,011 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to $1,643,981 for the same period in 2012, a decrease of $39,970 or 2%. The lower general and administrative costs related to lower salary costs and reduced rent and occupancy expenses.

Depreciation and Amortization. Our depreciation and amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $284,556 as compared to $391,530 in the same period in 2012, a decrease of $106,974 or 27%. The decrease was a direct result of a lower depreciable asset base after the sale of the TDG assets in 2012 and more assets that have become fully depreciated.

Other Income (Expense). Total other expenses were $(1,398,945) for the nine period ended September 30, 2013 compared to $(382,413) in the same period in 2012, an increase of $(1,016,532). Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 increased by $(356,629) or 98% as compared to the same period in 2012, due to new loans and the higher default interest rate costs on certain senior debt which was in default in the 2013 period. The Company recorded a loss of $(35,122) on the derivative liability valuation mark-to-market revaluation for the 2013 period versus nil in 2012. The amortization of the senior term debt discount was $(639,989) as compared to $(18,977) reflecting the write-off of the unamortized discount from the early repayment of related loans upon the closing of our August 5, 2013 public offering.

Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $41,225 as compared to $28,690 for the same period in 2012.

See Note 3 of the enclosed condensed consolidated financial statements for further information on the discontinued operations and gain on sale related to the TDG Assets.

Net Income (Loss) and Income (Loss) per Share. Our net loss was $(4,449,734) or $(0.93) basic per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, versus net income of $1,738,937 or $0.49 for the same period in 2012.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents of $2,569,135 an increase of $2,502,581 from $66,554 as of December 31, 2012.

At September 30, 2013 we had current liabilities of $3,697,174 compared to current assets of $3,461,399 which resulted in a negative working capital position of $235,775. As at December 31, 2012 we had a negative working capital position of $3,940,974. Our current liabilities are comprised principally of the derivative liability, accounts payable, and accrued expenses.

Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon our attaining and maintaining profitable operations and raising additional capital and/or selling certain assets. Prior to June 15, 2012, we were in default under our loan agreements with our senior lenders under our senior term debt. The sale of the TDG Assets allowed us to repay a significant portion of our senior term debt, which was in default at the time of sale. Most of our other lenders entered into loan modification agreements pursuant to which they consented to the TDG Assets sale and agreed to defer any debt payments until after July 15, 2013. We repaid our previous bank line of credit at the close of the June 2012 asset sale, which was cancelled on that date, and will seek to obtain a new line of credit. There is no assurance that a replacement credit facility can be negotiated, or the amount and terms of any future bank drawings.

	20

Upon the closing of our August 5, 2013 public offering, the then existing loan default was cured by the repayment of the entire principal amount and related accrued interest.

Operating Activities. We used $(2,854,498) of cash for operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and $(2,505,632) in the same period in 2012. Changes in non-cash operating assets and liabilities were $237,951 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and $170,723 in the same period in 2012. The major non-cash operating items for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 resulted from a $(501,802) decrease in accounts payable, a $116,667 increase in accrued compensation, a $459,029 increase in accrued interest and a $92,427 increase in accrued expenses. The major non-cash operating items for first nine month of 2012 resulted from a $706,717 reduction in inventory and a $515,503 reduction in accounts receivable, a $(327,258) reduction in customer deposits, along with a $586,267 increase in accrued interest. Included in these reductions were $299,599 in accounts receivable and $1,135,042 in inventory related to the sale of the TDG Assets.

Investing Activities. Cash used in investing activities was $137,648 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Cash used for investing activities of $98,723 in the first nine months of 2013 related primarily to new product tooling and the purchase of computer equipment additions. The costs of registering our intellectual property rights, included in the investing activities totals described above, was $38,925 in the nine month period ending September 30, 2013.

Cash provided by investing activities was $7,298,703 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Cash used for investing activities of $(167,016) for the first nine months of 2012 related primarily to the purchase of computer equipment additions and tooling, and the costs of registering our intellectual property rights, included in the investing activities totals described above, were $(43,536). From the sale of the TDG Assets in June 2012 the Company received net proceeds of $7,509,255.

Financing Activities. Cash provided by financing activities was $5,494,727 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2013, the primary source of cash were the proceeds gross proceeds from the public offering of $8,050,000, less direct offering associated costs of $(1,633,641), the proceeds of $1,000,000 from the sale of a convertible debenture less issuance costs of $(191,088) and $382,884 from the sale of notes payable, less the repayment of $(1,952,327) in long and short-term notes payable.

Cash (used in) financing activities was $(5,039,473) for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. During this nine period of 2012, the primary use of cash was a $(652,081) reduction in drawings under our operating line of credit and the repayments on term debt of $(4,464,795) as required by our lenders for their approval of the sale of the TDG Assets.

Capital Resources. As of September 30, 2013, we had a cash balance of $2,569,135. The outstanding balance under our line of credit as of September 30, 2013 was $0 versus $112,500 as of December 31, 2012. We anticipate that to meet our working capital needs in the future that we will need to negotiate a new operating credit facility with a bank or seek alternative sources for an operating loan.

On August 5, 2013, the Company consummated a public offering of 4,025,000 shares of common stock, and warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 4,025,000 shares of common stock, at a public offering price of $2.00 per share and $0.0001 per warrant. The warrants have a per share exercise price of $2.25, are exercisable immediately, and expire 5 years from the date of issuance. Total gross proceeds from the public offering were $8,050,000, before underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses payable by the Company.

Simultaneous with the closing of this public offering $2,316,006 in outstanding secured debt and accrued interest thereon, converted into common stock and warrants at a conversion price equal to the offering price of $2.00. Additionally $1,642,569 in outstanding long-term accrued compensation and accrued interest owed to our officers was converted into common stock and warrants at a conversion price equal to the offering price of $2.00.

The Company is using the net proceeds received from the offering to complete commercialization of the M100 Smart Glasses, winner of the Best of Innovations and Engineering award at the 2013 Consumer Electronics Show (CES), and the VFX720 video head phone products, and waveguide technologies, repayment of certain of debt (consisting of principal and interest on outstanding notes, convertible debentures, early repayment penalties and bank loans) in the amount of approximately $2,265,000, bringing more of its account payable within the vendor’s credit terms, and for working capital and general corporate purposes.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, we have has been unable to generate cash flows other than our recent asset sales, sufficient to support our operations and have been dependent on equity financings, term debt financings, revolving credit financing and the June 2012 asset sale. We will remain dependent on outside sources of funding until our results of operations provide positive cash flows. There can be no assurance that we will be able to generate cash from those sources in the future. Our independent auditors issued a going concern paragraph in their reports for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of our assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the specific amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities, which might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. As a result of our current level of funding, ongoing losses from operations, substantial doubt exists about its ability to continue as a going concern.

	21

Our cash requirements depend on numerous factors, including new product development activities, our ability to commercialize our products, their timely market acceptance, selling prices and gross margins, and other factors. To the extent we have sufficient operating funds, we expect to carefully devote capital resources complete the development of our M100 Smart Glasses and to continue our waveguide and HD display engine development programs, hire and train additional staff, and undertake new product marketing activities. Such expenditures, along with further future net operating losses, product tooling expenses, and related working capital investments, will be the principal use of our cash.

We have previously attracted funding in the form of subordinated debt, a bank line of credit and most recently a public offering of shares of common stock and warrants. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so in the future or that if we raise additional capital it will be sufficient to execute our business plan. To the extent that we are unable to raise sufficient additional capital, we will be required to substantially modify our business plan and our plans for operations, which could have a material adverse effect on us and our financial condition.

We also rely on credit lines from key suppliers and customer deposits in managing liquidity. As a result, if our trade creditors were to impose unfavorable terms or customers decline to make advance deposits for their orders, it would negatively impact our ability to obtain products and services on acceptable terms, produce products and operate our business.

On March 8, 2013 we entered into and closed a Promissory Note and Security Agreement with our senior lender pursuant to which it made a $100,000 secured loan to us. The loan was repaid on March 27, 2013 with the proceeds received from the sale of the debenture made on that date (discussed below).

On March 21, 2013 we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Hillair Capital Management L.P. (Hillair), pursuant to which, on March 27, 2013, we issued to Hillair a $800,000 16% senior secured convertible debenture due on March 21, 2018. The debenture was convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $4.29 per share. In connection with the debenture issuance, we also issued to Hillair five-year warrants to purchase 186,480 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $4.72 per share. Upon the closing of our public offering on August 5, 2013, the exercise price of the warrants was reduced to $2.25. Upon closing of this transaction, we retained Gentry Capital Advisors LLC (Gentry) as a financial advisor and agreed to pay Gentry a fee of $50,000 over a period of 4 months commencing upon the closing. We also issued to Gentry five-year warrants to purchase 20,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $4.72 per share and the exercise price was also reduced to $2.25. The entire principal amount and related accrued interest of this loan along with a $160,000 early repayment penalty was repaid upon the closing of the Company’s public offering on August 5, 2013.

On July 15, 2013, we entered into and closed a securities purchase agreement with Hillair whereby we sold to Hillair, for a purchase price of $200,000, (i) a $200,000 16% senior secured convertible debenture due March 21, 2018, and (ii) a common stock purchase warrant to purchase up to 38,168 shares of our common stock. The warrants are exercisable at any time on or after July 15, 2013 until March 21, 2018, and had an initial exercise price of $5.24 per share, subject to adjustments upon certain events, which was reduced to $2.25 upon the closing of our public offering on August 5, 2013. The entire principal amount and related accrued interest of this loan along with a $40,000 early repayment penalty was repaid upon the closing of the Company’s public offering on August 5, 2013.

We intend to take actions necessary for us to continue as a going concern, as discussed herein, and accordingly our consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Management’s plans concerning these matters are discussed below and in Note 2 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements. The August 5, 2013 successful closing of the Company’s public offering for gross proceeds of $8,050,000 and the conversion of approximately $3,960,000 in debt and accrued interest into common stock in connection therewith has significantly improved the financial position of the Company. We believe these financings have provided us sufficient capital to implement our current operating plan and planned new product development activities and reduced the doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The Company must grow its business significantly to become profitable and self-sustaining on a cash flow basis within 6 months. We expect that the introduction of the M100 Smart Glasses, products incorporating our wave guide options and HD resolution Video Eyewear products, if successful, will be important steps to achieving cash-flow positive operations. If these products are not successful we will have to raise additional capital to maintain operations.

We cannot make assurances as to whether any of these actions can be effected on a timely basis, on satisfactory terms or maintained once initiated, and even if successful, whether our liquidity plan will limit certain of our operational and strategic initiatives designed to grow our business over the long term or whether such initiatives will be limited by the availability of capital. We cannot make assurances that we will be able to generate sufficient cash flow from operations, service our remaining indebtedness or otherwise fund our new product development plans.

	22

If we are required to raise additional funds by selling additional shares of our capital stock, or securities convertible into shares of our capital stock, the ownership interest of our existing shareholders may be diluted. The amount of dilution could be increased by the issuance of warrants or securities with other dilutive characteristics, such as full ratchet anti-dilution clauses or price resets. We can give no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional financing on favorable terms or at all. If we are unable to become profitable and self-sustaining on a cash flow basis and are required to obtain future funding, the Company could be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate its research and development programs, future commercialization efforts or otherwise curtail its business, which could adversely affect its business prospects. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Forward Looking Statements

This quarterly report includes forward-looking statements. These statements are based on our management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to our management. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning:

	·	Our cash needs and financing plans;

	·	Our possible or assumed future results of operations;

	·	Our business strategies;

	·	Our ability to attract and retain customers;

	·	Our ability to sell additional products and services to customers;

	·	Our competitive position;

	·	Our industry environment;

	·	Our potential growth opportunities;

	·	Expected technological advances by us or by third parties and our ability to leverage them;

	·	The effects of future regulation; and

	·	The effects of competition.

All statements in this quarterly report that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements. We may, in some cases, use terms such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “potential,” “predicts,” “projects,” “should,” “will,” “would” or similar expressions that convey uncertainty of future events or outcomes to identify forward-looking statements.

The outcome of the events described in these forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performances or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. These important factors include our financial performance and the other important factors set forth in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 and in other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

All such forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties and should be evaluated in light of important risk factors. These risk factors include, but are not limited to, those that are described in “Risk Factors” under Item 1A and elsewhere in our 2012 annual report on Form 10-K and the following: business and economic conditions, rapid technological changes accompanied by frequent new product introductions, competitive pressures, dependence on key customers, inability to gauge order flows from customers, fluctuations in quarterly and annual results, the reliance on a limited number of third party suppliers, limitations of our manufacturing capacity and arrangements, the protection of our proprietary technology, the effects of pending or threatened litigation, the dependence on key personnel, changes in critical accounting estimates, potential impairments related to investments, foreign regulations, liquidity issues, our material working capital deficiency, and potential material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting. Further, during weak or uncertain economic periods, customers’ may delay the placement of their orders. These factors often result in a substantial portion of our revenue being derived from orders placed within a quarter and shipped in the final month of the same quarter. In addition, the recent sale of our TDG Assets has resulted in a change in focus for us because, since inception, a substantial portion of our sales have been derived from the sale of night vision display drive electronics, sales of our Tac-Eye monocular video eyewear and engineering services primarily to the U.S. government and its suppliers. As a result of our sale of the TDG Assets, we no longer sell night vision display drive electronics, sell our former Tac-Eye products or perform general engineering services to defense customers and this has materially reduced our revenue and cash flow and could materially adversely affect our ability to achieve or maintain profitability in the future. Our ability to make any future defense related sales in the future will be limited to engineering services regarding our waveguide optics and, eventually, the sale of products based on that technology and defense-related sales made through TDG. Our ability to fully replace the revenues from the sold TDG Asserts and product lines is unknown.

Any forward-looking statements represent our estimates only as of the date they are made, and should not be relied upon as representing our estimates as of any subsequent date. While we may elect to update forward-looking statements at some point in the future, except as may be required under applicable securities laws, we specifically disclaim any obligation to do so.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed to reasonably assure that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Disclosure controls include components of internal control over financial reporting, which consists of control processes designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP.

As reported in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K (the "2012 Form 10-K"), as of December 31, 2012, our management identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting that have a direct impact on our financial reporting. Due to these material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, our management concluded in our 2012 Form 10-K that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of December 31, 2012.

Our management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2013. As part of its evaluation, our management has evaluated whether the control deficiencies related to the reported material weakness in internal control over financial reporting continue to exist. As of September 30, 2013, we have not completed the development, assessment, implementation and testing of the changes in controls and procedures that we believe are necessary to conclude that the material weakness has been remediated and, therefore, our management has concluded that we cannot assert that the control deficiencies relating to the reported material weakness have been effectively remediated. As a result, our CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of September 30, 2013.

In light of the foregoing conclusion, we undertook additional procedures in order that management could conclude that reasonable assurance exists regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the consolidated financial statements contained in this filing. Accordingly, management believes that our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2013 fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reports as of December 31, 2012, we determined that there were control deficiencies that constituted the following material weaknesses that continue to exist as of September 30, 2013:

Deficiencies in Financial Reporting and Close Process

Our current financial close process does not ensure accurate financial reporting on a timely basis. We also did not maintain effective controls over the period-end financial close and reporting processes in relation to the consolidation of our subsidiary’s financial information. The specific deficiencies contributing to this material weakness related to (a) inadequate policies and procedures, (b) ineffective procedures and controls over journal entries, accruals and reserves, (c) inadequate controls and procedures related to the timely preparation and review of account reconciliations, (d) inadequate segregation of duties, (e) inadequate controls over cut-off procedures, (f) deficiencies in end-user computing controls of critical spreadsheets, and (g) an insufficient complement of personnel with appropriate levels of knowledge and experience. Due to the actual and potential errors on financial statement balances and disclosures, management has concluded that these deficiencies in internal controls over the period-end financial close and reporting processes constituted a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting. We intend to establish and document financial close processes and procedures including responsibilities and due dates. We also intend to commence utilizing a closing checklist to ensure all procedures are performed and appropriate reviews are completed on a timely basis for each quarter and year-end period. Additionally, we intend to implement controls over critical spreadsheets, including change control, input control, access and data security and appropriate review procedures. Further, we intend to seek additional resources with strong accounting and reporting experience when financial resources are available. We cannot give any assurance as to whether or when we will be able to implement those changes.

	24

Deficiencies in Segregation of Duties

There is limited segregation of duties which could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements. Given our staff levels, certain duties within the accounting and finance department cannot be properly segregated. However, we believe that none of these segregation of duty deficiencies resulted in material misstatement in the financial statements as we rely on certain compensating controls, including periodic substantive review of the financial statements by the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.

Deficiencies in Monitoring of Subsidiaries

We have not designed adequate monitoring controls related to our European subsidiary or Japanese branch sales office, such that we can be assured that a material misstatement of financial results would be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Weaknesses in Inventory Controls

We have identified weaknesses in our inventory controls as follows:

Documented processes and controls are insufficient and are not working effectively for several key inventory processes including inventory adjustments and reserves for excess, defective and obsolete inventory.

Inventory valuation processes and controls are not sufficiently documented and are not working effectively including costs to be expensed versus inventoried and maintenance of adequate supporting documentation for current unit costs and bill of materials.

Deficiencies in Internal Controls Procedures and Risk Assessment Program

We have concluded that formal written internal control policies and procedures do not currently exist for all areas within our operations. A well-established and documented internal control structure is pertinent to our ability to maintain accurate books and records, prevent and detect fraud, maintain segregation of duties, report timely financial results and to properly comply with management’s requirements to report on the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. In determining key controls and appropriate internal controls for us management needs to further develop its risk assessment process, including a fraud risk assessment and monitoring program, that is appropriate for our size and complexity, to assess the risks of material misstatement in the significant accounts and disclosures and related assertions and to ensure implementation of controls to prevent or detect errors or fraud that could result in material misstatements.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

During the three months ended September 30, 2013, there were no changes in our internal controls that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings

We are not currently involved in any pending legal proceeding or litigation and we are not aware of any such proceedings contemplated by or against us or our property. To our knowledge, there are no material legal proceedings to which any our directors, officers or affiliates, or any beneficial owner of more than five percent of our common stock, or any associate of any of the foregoing, is a party adverse to us or any of our subsidiaries or has a material interest adverse to us or any of our subsidiaries.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this report and the risk factor set forth below, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. The risks discussed in our 2012 annual report could materially affect our business, financial condition and future results. The risks described in our 2012 annual report are not the only risks facing us. The recent sale of our TDG Assets and the loss of revenues from those products will materially affect our business unless new products and engineering service programs are developed to replace the previous business. There are no material changes to the Risk Factors described in Item 1A in our 2012 annual report other than the impact of the recent sale of our TDG Assets as mentioned above.

Item 2.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Sale of Unregistered Securities:

Simultaneous with the closing of the public offering on August 5, 2013, $2,227,658 in outstanding secured debt and accrued interest thereon, converted at a conversion price equal to the offering price of $2.00 into 805,553 shares of common stock and 805,553 warrants exercisable at $2.25. Additionally in conjunction with the closing of the public offering $1,532,051 in outstanding long-term accrued compensation and accrued interest owed to our officers, converted at a conversion price equal to the offering price of $2.00 into 821,285 shares of common stock and 821,285 warrants exercisable at $2.25. In addition, we issued127,718 warrants exercisable at $2.25 to a debt holder upon closing of the public offering.

In connection with the foregoing, the Company relied on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for transactions not involving a public offering.
