Corporate
History
3DIcon
Corporation (the Company) was incorporated on August 11, 1995, under the laws of
the State of Oklahoma as First Keating Corporation. Our articles of
incorporation were amended August 1, 2003 to change the name to 3DIcon
Corporation. The initial focus of First Keating Corporation was to market and
distribute books written by its founder, Martin Keating. During 2001, First
Keating Corporation began to focus on the development of 360-degree holographic
technology. The effective date of this transition is January 1, 2001. We have
accounted for this transition as a reorganization and accordingly, restated
its capital accounts as of January 1, 2001. At the inception in January 1, 2001,
our primary activity was the raising of capital in order to pursue its goal of
becoming a significant participant in the formation and commercialization of
interactive, optical holography for the communications and entertainment
industries.
In April
2004, we engaged the University to Oklahoma to conduct a pilot study to
determine the opportunity and feasibility for the creation of volumetric 3
dimensional communication systems.
On July
15, 2005, we entered into a Sponsored Research Agreement with the University
(Phase II), which expired on January 14, 2007. Under this agreement, the
University conducted a research project entitled "Investigation of 3-Dimensional
Display Technologies".
On
February 23, 2007, we entered into a sponsored research agreement with the
University of Oklahoma (Phase III) which expires on March 31, 2010. Under this
agreement, the University will conduct a research project entitled
“3-Dimensional Display Development”.
In the
fourth quarter of 2007 we announced the release of our first product, “Pixel
Precision”. This is a companion software application to the DMD Discovery ™ line
of products manufactured by Texas Instruments®.
The
Oklahoma Center for the Advancement of Science and Technology (“OCAST”) approved
our application for funding of a matching grant titled 800 Million Voxels
Volumetric Display, on November 19, 2008. The two-year matching
grant, totaling $299,932, has a start date of January 1, 2009. The
award is for a maximum of $149,940 for 2009 and the remainder for
2010. Funding beyond 2009 is contingent upon satisfactory performance
evaluation and the availability of funds.
General
Overview
We are a
development stage company. Our mission is to pursue, develop and market
full-color, 360-degree holographic or volumetric 3-D technology. Through a
Sponsored Research Agreement with the University of Oklahoma, we have obtained
the exclusive world-wide marketing rights to certain 3D display technologies
under development by the University. The development to date has resulted in the
University filing seven provisional patents; six of the seven provisional
patents have been combined and converted to four utility patents. At this time,
we do not own any intellectual property rights in holographic technologies, and,
apart from the Sponsored Research Agreement with the University of Oklahoma,
have no contracts or agreements pending to acquire such rights or any other
interest in such rights. We plan to market the technology and the intellectual
property developed by the University of Oklahoma by targeting various
industries, such as retail, manufacturing, entertainment, medical, healthcare,
transportation, homeland security and the military.
Overview
of Development of 3D Technology
Holography
as a means of wavefront, or 3D image, reconstruction was first introduced by
Dennis Gabor in 1948 when he developed a process for recording the amplitude and
phase of an optical wavefront. The word “holography” is derived from the Greek
words holos (whole) and
graphein (to write),
and Gabor coined the term “hologram” to refer to a “total recording.” The
widespread practice of holography took off in the early 1960s with the invention
of the laser. Since that time, holography has been used in a variety of
applications, many in routine commercial use today. Digital holography refers to
the use of digital computers to create holograms, sometimes referred to as computer-generated holograms.
Upon undertaking this investigation into the use of digital holography as a
viable technology for 3D imaging and visualization, we found that holography is
often the starting point for technologists seeking to realize practical
commercial systems, but in practice, many solutions involve other approaches
such as stereoscopic and swept-volume techniques.
4
A team of
researchers led by Harold Garner at the University of Texas Southwestern
Medical School at Dallas is working on a HoloTV project to develop
technology that can deliver 3D moving images for applications in medical
imaging, “heads up” displays, video games, and air traffic control display.
Current development efforts involve the use of the Digital Micromirror Device
from Texas Instruments, as well as eight-layer liquid-crystal screen. The DMD
focuses image points on various locations throughout the screen to produce 3D
images.
Stereoscopic
techniques are being investigated as a means of achieving 3D imaging and
display. A recent paper by Jang and Javidi describes a technique called 3D
projection integral imaging to create 3D orthoscopic virtual images. The
technique employs a micro-convex-mirror array to convert inputs from 2D image
sensors to 3D images with a viewing angle of over 60 o and has
been successfully demonstrated in the laboratory. Another paper by Choi et al reports on the
construction of a novel full-color autostereoscopic 3D display system using
scaling constraints and phase quantization leveling to reduce the color
dispersion and the phase difference. The system employs
color-dispersion-compensated (CDC) synthetic phase holograms (SPHs) to create 3D
images and video frames that don’t require the use of special glasses for
viewing. While both of these technical approaches have been successfully
demonstrated in a laboratory environment, neither easily lends itself to the
kind of embodiment envisioned by 3DIcon.
Sato
et al report identifies
space projection method
for producing 3D images using DMDs. This method uses a volumetric screen of
water particles upon which color 3D images can be projected using the
combination of a white light laser, variable color filter, and DMD. The authors
report that this so-called electro-holographic display is capable of producing
color 3D images with a large viewing angle. We believe that this approach has
merit, but also presents barriers to commercial implementation, particularly
from a cost and size perspective.
Pursuant
to the Sponsored Research Agreement, a portfolio of 3D Display Technologies is
being developed in using the following approaches:
|
·
|
I –
Swept Volume Displays (we have successfully achieved the initial
demonstration and proof of technology for this
approach)
|
|
·
|
II
– Static Volumetric Displays (Under
Glass)
|
|
·
|
III
– Stacked Volume Displays- We also have investigated the technologies for
developing innovative Stacked Volumetric Displays. We are currently in the
process of evaluating the commercialization potential of such
technologies.
|
|
·
|
IV
– Free Space Volumetric Displays: Our ultimate goal is to develop Free
Space Volumetric Displays. Our future plans include the possible use of
magnetic nano particles to achieve this among
others.
|
The Swept
Volume Display is designed to be a 3D display system showing a volumetric image
generated from an electronic medium. A proof-of-concept demonstration has been
achieved by the researchers around September 2007. The Swept Volume Display
R&D is now entering into the subsequent second stage of improvement and
development. Initial target markets for swept volume displays would include
retail, advertising industry and large venue applications.
The
Static Volume Display technology will employ DMDs using infra-red lasers to
produce 3D images in advanced transparent nanotechnology materials, thereby
enabling the creation, transmission and display of high resolution 3D images
within a volume space, surrounded by glass or transparent screen. The Free Space
technology will build upon the Static Volume technology so as to eliminate the
need for an enclosed vessel, thereby enabling the creation, transmission and
display of high resolution 3D images in free space utilizing a portable system.
The initial investigation for the Static Volume system commenced in 2007. There
is currently no estimated prototype/demonstration date for this
technology.

University
of Oklahoma - Sponsored Research Agreement
On April
20, 2004, we entered into a Sponsored Research Agreement entitled "Investigation
of Emerging Digital Holography Technologies" (“Phase I”) with the University of
Oklahoma (University), which expired October 19, 2004. We have paid the
University $14,116 pursuant to this agreement. The purpose of this agreement was
to conduct a pilot study to investigate digital holography as a candidate
technology for the development of three-dimensional (“3D”) imaging and
visualization systems. The purpose of the pilot study was to investigate the
current state-of-the-art research and development activities taking place in the

The final
payment of $226,792, due on July 15, 2006, was not paid. On November 1, 2006 the
Sponsored Research Agreement was modified to provide $125,259 additional
funding, extend the term of the agreement through March 31, 2007, and revise the
payment schedule to combine the July 15, 2005 remaining balance due of $226,792
with the additional funding into a revised payment schedule. Under the terms of
the agreement, we agreed to pay the combined remaining obligation of $352,051 in
four equal monthly installments of $88,013 beginning on December 31, 2006
through March 31, 2007.
On
February 23, 2007, we entered into a sponsored research agreement with the
University of Oklahoma (Phase III) which expires on March 31, 2010. Under this
agreement, the University will conduct a research project entitled
“3-Dimensional Display Development”. We will pay the University $3,468,595 in
monthly installments ranging from $92,263 to $112,777 beginning on April 30,
2007 and ending on March 31, 2010.
On
October 31, 2008 OU agreed to revise the payment terms under the SRA from a
fixed monthly payment to a reimbursable cost payment basis effective September
1, 2008. As of September 30, 2008 we had a remaining obligation under
the previous SRA payment schedule of $2,665,818 which includes monthly payments
due for December 2007 through August 31, 2008 of $861,131. The
$1,804,687 balance of the remaining scheduled payment obligation was
cancelled. Under the terms of the revised base payments schedule, the
arrearages will be paid in nine monthly base installments from October 31, 2008
to June 30, 2009 of amounts ranging from $35,000 to $101,132 leaving a remaining
balance after the base payments of $290,000. In addition to the
monthly base payments, we agreed to make additional payments on the $861,131
arrearages based on a formula of 50% of funding in excess of $120,000 plus the
base monthly payment. In the event funding does not provide for any
additional payments, the remaining balance would be $290,000, which OU agreed to
accept 4,264,707 shares of the our common stock based on the October 14, 2008
market price as reported on the OTC Bulletin Board of $0.068 per share as
payment on June 30, 2009. We have the option to repurchase the shares
at $0.068 per share by September 30, 2009 or at market value, but not less than
$0.068 per share, if the repurchase occurs after September 30,
2009.
6
During
the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, we charged operations $953,802 and
$1,020,888, respectively pursuant to the SRA. At December 31, 2008,
we owed the University $198,365 in aggregate monthly payments and $741,131 on
the arrearages under the revised payment terms.
We own
all worldwide rights to commercial and government usage of the intellectual
property being developed by the University of Oklahoma. The University of

ITEM
1A. RISK FACTORS.
Risks Relating to Our
Business:
We
have a limited operating history, as well as a history of operating
losses.
We have a
limited operating history. We cannot assure you that we can achieve revenue or
sustain revenue growth or profitability in the future. We have a cumulative net
loss of $11,010,079 for the period from inception (January 1, 2001) to December
31, 2008. Our operations are subject to the risks and competition
inherent in the establishment of a business enterprise. Unanticipated problems,
expenses, and delays are frequently encountered in establishing a new business
and marketing and developing products. These include, but are not limited to,
competition, the need to develop customers and market expertise, market
conditions, sales, marketing and governmental regulation. Our failure to meet
any of these conditions would have a materially adverse effect upon us and may
force us to reduce or curtail our operations. Revenues and profits, if any, will
depend upon various factors. We may not achieve our business objectives and the
failure to achieve such goals would have an adverse impact on our
business.
Currently,
our only significant asset is our Sponsored Research Agreement with the
University of Oklahoma, and our ability to accomplish our business plan relies
entirely on the ability of the University of Oklahoma to successfully develop
marketable 3D communications and display technologies.
Our only
significant asset at the present time is our Sponsored Research Agreement with
the University of Oklahoma. If the University of Oklahoma is not successful in
developing 3D display/communications technologies that we have envisioned in our
business plan, our ability to generate revenues from marketing of the
technologies and/or product or products on which our business plan is based will
be severely impacted, which could threaten the very existence of the
Company.
Even if
the University of Oklahoma is successful in developing 3D communications and
display system technologies, because of the revolutionary nature of such a
product (i.e., no similar product currently exists, and there are numerous
unknowns relating to the product, such as manufacturing costs and operational
costs), there can be no assurance that our marketing plans for the product will
be successful.
Therefore,
the fact that our success depends almost entirely on the efforts of others to
develop technologically challenging new technologies that will be in a form
readily licensable and/or marketable and acceptable to a given market, and our
ability to then successfully market such technologies, makes an investment in
the Company much more risky than a comparable investment in other companies that
may have a broad range of existing, proven products and/or
technologies.
8
We may not be able to
compete successfully.
Although
the volumetric 3D imaging and display technology that the University of Oklahoma
is attempting to develop is new, and although at present we are aware of only a
limited number of companies that have publicly disclosed their attempts to
develop similar technology, we anticipate a number of companies are or will
attempt to develop technologies/products that compete or will compete with our
technologies. Further, even if we are the first to market with a technology of
this type, and even if the technology is protected by patents or otherwise,
because of the vast market and communications potential of such a product, we
anticipate the market will be flooded by a variety of competitors (including
traditional communications companies), many of which will offer a range of
products in areas other than those in which we compete, which may make such
competitors more attractive to prospective customers. In addition, many if not
all of our competitors and potential competitors will initially be larger and
have greater financial resources than we do. Some of the companies with which we
may now be in competition, or with which we may compete in the future, have or
may have more extensive research, marketing and manufacturing capabilities and
significantly greater technical and personnel resources than we do, even given
our relationship to the University of Oklahoma, and may be better positioned to
continue to improve their technology in order to compete in an evolving
industry. Further, technology in this industry may evolve rapidly once an
initially successful product is introduced, making timely product innovations
and use of new technologies essential to our success in the marketplace. The
introduction by our competitors of products with improved technologies or
features may render any product we initially market obsolete and unmarketable.
If we do not have available to us products that respond to industry changes in a
timely manner, or if our products do not perform well, our business and
financial condition will be adversely affected.
The
technologies being developed may not gain market acceptance.
The
products that the University of Oklahoma is currently developing utilize new
technologies. As with any new technologies, in order for us to be successful,
these technologies must gain market acceptance. Since the technologies that we
anticipate introducing to the marketplace will exploit or encroach upon markets
that presently utilize or are serviced by products from competing technologies,
meaningful commercial markets may not develop for our technologies.
In
addition, the
development efforts of the University of Oklahoma on the 3D technology are
subject to unanticipated delays, expenses or technical or other problems, as
well as the possible insufficiency of funding to complete development. Our
success will depend upon the ultimate products and technologies meeting
acceptable cost and performance criteria, and upon their timely introduction
into the marketplace. The proposed products and technologies may never be
successfully developed, and even if developed, they may not satisfactorily
perform the functions for which they are designed. Additionally, these may not
meet applicable price or performance objectives. Unanticipated technical or
other problems may occur which would result in increased costs or material
delays in their development or commercialization.
If
we are unable to successfully retain existing management and recruit qualified
personnel having experience in our business, we may not be able to continue our
operations.
Our
success depends to a significant extent upon the continued services of Martin
Keating, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and James N. Welsh, our
Interim Chief Operating Officer and Interim Treasurer. Our success also depends
on our ability to attract and retain other key executive officers.
Our
auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a
going concern. If we do not continue as a going concern, investors
will lose their entire investment.
In their
report dated April 15, 2009, our auditors have expressed substantial doubt about
our about our ability to continue as a going concern. These concerns arise from
the fact that we are a development stage organization with insufficient revenues
to fund development and operating expenses. If we are unable to continue as a
going concern, you could lose your entire investment in us.
We
will need significant additional capital, which we may be unable to
obtain.
Our
capital requirements in connection with our development activities and
transition to commercial operations have been and will continue to be
significant. We will require approximately $2.5 million additional funds over
the next two years to continue research, development and testing of our
technologies, to obtain intellectual property protection relating to our
technologies when appropriate, and to improve and market our technologies. There
can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or on terms
acceptable to us, if at all.

Risks
Relating to Our Current Financing Arrangements:
There
are a large number of shares underlying our convertible debentures, and warrants
that may be available for future sale and the sale of these shares may depress
the market price of our common stock.
As
of March 31, 2009, we had approximately 175,505,294 shares of common stock
issued and outstanding and convertible debentures outstanding that may be
converted into an estimated 614,771,829 shares of common stock at current market
prices. The number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the
outstanding convertible debentures may increase if the market price of our stock
declines. We also have outstanding warrants issued to Golden State Equity
Investors, Inc. f/k/a Golden Gate Investors (“Golden State”) to purchase 962,939
shares of common stock at an exercise price of $10.90. The sale of the shares
underlying the convertible debentures and warrants may adversely affect the
market price of our common stock.
Our
obligation to issue shares upon conversion of our convertible debentures is
essentially limitless.
The conversion price of our
convertible debentures is continuously adjustable, which could require
us to issue a
substantially greater number of shares, which will cause dilution to our
existing stockholders.
The
following is an example of the amount of shares of our common stock that are
issuable, upon conversion of our 4.75% $100,000 convertible debentures
(excluding accrued interest) issued to Golden State on November 3, 2006, based
on the remaining principal balance of $96,678 and market prices 25%, 50% and 75%
below the market price as of March 27, 2009 of $0.026.

As
illustrated, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of
our convertible debentures will increase if the market price of our stock
declines, which will cause dilution to our existing stockholders.
The continuously adjustable
conversion price feature of our convertible debentures may encourage investors to make short
sales in our common stock, which could have a depressive effect on the price of
our common stock.
So long
as the market price of our stock is below $4.00, the issuance of shares in
connection with the conversion of the $100,000 convertible debenture results in
the issuance of shares at an effective 20% discount to the trading price of the
common stock prior to the conversion. So long as the market price of our stock
is below $2.00 the issuance of shares in connection with the conversion of the
Second Debenture results in the issuance of shares at an effective 10% discount
to the trading price of the common stock prior to the conversion. The
significant downward pressure on the price of the common stock as the selling
stockholder converts and sells material amounts of common stock could encourage
short sales by investors. This could place further downward pressure on the
price of the common stock. The selling stockholder could sell common stock into
the market in anticipation of covering the short sale by converting their
securities, which could cause the further downward pressure on the stock price.
In addition, not only the sale of shares issued upon conversion or exercise of
debentures and warrants, but also the mere perception that these sales could
occur, may adversely affect the market price of the common stock.
The
issuance of shares upon conversion of the convertible debentures and exercise of
outstanding warrants may cause immediate and substantial dilution to our
existing stockholders.
The
issuance of shares upon conversion of our convertible debentures and exercise of
warrants may result in substantial dilution to the interests of other
stockholders since the selling stockholder may ultimately convert and sell the
full amount issuable on conversion. Although Golden State may not convert its
convertible debentures and/or exercise their warrants if such conversion or
exercise would cause it to own more than 9.9% of our outstanding common stock,
this restriction does not prevent the selling stockholder from converting and
selling some of their holdings and then converting the rest of their holdings.
In this way, assuming the market price remains at a level acceptable to the
selling stockholder, the selling stockholder could continue on a
“conversion-sell-conversion” trend while never holding more than 9.99% of our
common stock. Further, under the convertible debentures there is theoretically
no upper limit on the number of shares that may be issued, which will have the
effect of further diluting the proportionate equity interest and voting power of
holders of our common stock.
If
we are unable to issue shares of common stock upon conversion of the convertible
debenture as a result of our inability to increase our authorized shares of
common stock or as a result of any other reason, we are required to pay
penalties to Golden State, redeem the convertible debenture at 130% and/or
compensate Golden State for any buy-in that it is required to make.
If we are
unable to issue shares of common stock upon conversion of the convertible
debenture as a result of our inability to increase our authorized shares of
common stock or as a result of any other reason, we are required
to:
|
·
|
pay
late payments to Golden State for late issuance of common stock upon
conversion of the convertible debenture, in the amount of $100 per
business day after the delivery date for each $10,000 of convertible
debenture principal amount being converted or
redeemed;
|
|
·
|
in
the event we are prohibited from issuing common stock, or fail to timely
deliver common stock on a delivery date, or upon the occurrence of an
event of default, then at the election of Golden State, we must pay to
Golden State a sum of money determined by multiplying up to the
outstanding principal amount of the convertible debenture designated by
Golden State by 130%, together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon;
and
|
11
|
·
|
if
ten days after the date we are required to deliver common stock to Golden
State pursuant to a conversion, Golden State purchases (in an open market
transaction or otherwise) shares of common stock to deliver in
satisfaction of a sale by Golden State of the common stock which it
anticipated receiving upon such conversion (a "Buy-In"), then we are
required to pay in cash to Golden State the amount by which its total
purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of
common stock so purchased exceeds the aggregate principal and/or interest
amount of the convertible debenture for which such conversion was not
timely honored, together with interest thereon at a rate of 15% per annum,
accruing until such amount and any accrued interest thereon is paid in
full.
|
In the
event that we are required to pay penalties to Golden State or redeem the
convertible debentures held by Golden State, we may be required to curtail or
cease our operations.
Risks
Relating to Our Common Stock:
Fluctuations
in our operating results and announcements and developments concerning our
business affect our stock price.
Our
quarterly operating results, the number of stockholders desiring to sell their
shares, changes in general economic conditions and the financial markets, the
execution of new contracts and the completion of existing agreements and other
developments affecting us, could cause the market price of our common stock to
fluctuate substantially.
Our
common stock is subject to the "Penny Stock" rules of the SEC and the trading
market in our securities is limited, which makes transactions in our stock
cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in our stock.
The
Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the
definition of a "penny stock," for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity
security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an
exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For
any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules
require:
|
·
|
that
a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny
stocks; and
|
|
·
|
the
broker or dealer receives from the investor a written agreement to the
transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to
be purchased.
|
In order
to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or
dealer must:
|
·
|
obtain
financial information and investment experience objectives of the person;
and
|
|
·
|
make
a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are
suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and
experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of
transactions in penny stocks.
|
The
broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a
disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission relating to the penny stock
market, which, in highlight form:
|
·
|
sets
forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability
determination; and
|
|
·
|
that
the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the
investor prior to the transaction.
|
Generally,
brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the
"penny stock" rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of
our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our
stock.
Disclosure
also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public
offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the
broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the
securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of
fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent
disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and
information on the limited market in penny stocks.

Plan
of Operation
Background:
The
Company is engaged in the development of 360 o
volumetric imaging and display technology, specifically in the areas identified
by the initial in-depth investigation conducted by the University of Oklahoma
(OU or University). The identified areas are two major complementary areas of
technology that comprise the spectrum of the solution and application (1) a
means of recording 3D objects as digital holographic data elements (capture);
and (2) a means of reconstructing and displaying the 3D images
(display).
Based on
the investigation as well as review of existing patents and technologies, it was
concluded that the area of 3-D image capture and recording had multiple
solutions and technologies that adequately served the market. Therefore our
primary area of focus is to develop products and intellectual property in the
reconstruction and display of 3D images where we see the most opportunity. We
aim to establish strategic partnerships with the assignees or license holders of
existing 3D recording technologies as well as integrate our technologies with
existing solutions.
The
existing products reviewed can generally be broken down into two broad
categories: stereoscopic - those that use flat-panels to implement 3D displays
on 2D screens, and those that implement volumetric 3D displays. The flat-panel
approaches, as previously noted, do not support 3DIcon’s planned embodiment of
the technology. However, the application space of volumetric 3D displays
supports the Company vision and appears to offer major opportunities for further
technology development and creation of intellectual property through the
University of Oklahoma, to which 3DIcon will have exclusive world-wide
rights.
The
research team at OU has been working to integrate open source image capture
applications as well as to establish 3D image capture systems.
We
continue to build intellectual property through the University of Oklahoma, to
which 3DIcon has exclusive rights and engage in product research and development
both directly related to the display as well as by-product
technologies.
Current
Activities and Operations
Currently
the Company is pursuing the research and development of volumetric 3-D display
technology through the Sponsored Research Agreement (“SRA”) with the University
of Oklahoma (“OU”). Our efforts are focused on multiple technological
approaches, two of which are being further developed into proof-of-concept
demonstration systems:
Static Volume Display Technology: Also
known as CSpace™, 3DIcon has produced the first non-mechanical, 360-degree,
multi-view, high-resolution volumetric display. A prototype was demonstrated
during September 2008, when a 3D image was created within a proprietary
volumetric media (also called projection space or image matrix).
15
This
technology incorporates existing and rapidly evolving image projection
technologies, such as DLP®/DMD technology from Texas Instruments, allowing
3DIcon to pursue full-color, full-motion 3D visualization, in harmony with
3DIcon’s vision for product development.
Swept Volume Display Technology:
Additional work on this particular approach has been deferred indefinitely
because of the success and initial superiority of the CSpace™
technology.
We have
also released a software product called Pixel Precision™. The current version of
the software is 1.0. We plan to continue to pursue this market and provide
versions and variations of this software. The plans include enhancements to the
functionality as well as variants to address additional
opportunities.
We have
signed a sales and distribution agreement with Digital Light Innovations (DLi)
for the sales, marketing and first level support of the Pixel Precision™
software. Through DLi and its sub-distributors the software will be marketed in
the United States as well as in Europe and Asia.
Progress
on Research and Development Activities
The
research team at OU filed two new patent applications in the first quarter of
2008 and converted one from a provisional to a utility filing.
Under the
aegis of the SRA, the University has filed the following Patent Applications.
The Utility Patents have been converted and consolidated from the previously

RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2008 COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED
DECEMBER 31, 2007
Revenue
We have
launched our first software product PixelPrecision™. We appointed Digital Light
Innovations for the sales and distribution of this product in March
2008.
We have
earned income of $17,900 before commissions and costs from the sales of
PixelPrecision™ for the year ended December 31, 2008.
The cost
of sales for Pixel Precision™ of $8,435 includes commissions payable to the
exclusive distributor DLi. This is an outright obligation and not a
license. We have no other significant cost of
sales. Shared marketing support costs are charged to operations when
incurred.
We expect
sales of Pixel Precision™ to the installed and active user base of the earlier
D1100 and D3000 systems in the near term and as companion product sales to D4000
systems. We expect that the revenue from this product to contribute
to the operating expenses (General & Administrative, R&D, Interest
Payments) but do not expect the revenue generated in 2009 to cover the operating
expenses.
Research
and Development Expenses
The
research and development expenses were $953,802 for the year ended December 31,
2008 as compared to $1,020,888 for the year ended December 31,
2007. The decrease was a result of modifications to the
SRA.
General
and Administrative Expenses
Our
general and administrative expenses were $2,569,922 for the year ended December
31, 2008 as compared to $2,819,525 for the year ended December 31,
2007. The decrease is due primarily to the decrease in the
number of options issued to Directors and consultants for services.
Interest
Expense
Interest
expense for the year ended December 31, 2008 was $122,291 as compared to $88,583
for the year ended December 31, 2007. The increase in interest expense resulted
from increase in the amounts outstanding on our convertible debentures during
the periods.

Our
independent registered public accountants, in their audit report accompanying
our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008, expressed
substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern due to our
status as a development stage organization with insufficient revenues to fund
development and operating expenses.
We had
net cash of $48,400 at December 31, 2008.
We had
negative working capital of $1,642,297 at December 31, 2008.
During
the year ended December 31, 2008, we used $1,906,163 of cash for operating
activities, a decrease of $548,413 or 22% compared to the year ended December
31, 2007. The decrease in the use of cash for operating activities was a result
of the increase in accounts payable of $619,162 and the decrease in net loss of
$317,446.
Cash used
in investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2008 was $25,363, an
increase of $16,607 compared to the year ended December 31, 2007. The
increase was a result of purchasing office furniture and equipment for the
leased office space.
Cash
provided by financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2008 was
$1,274,407, a decrease of $1,692,013 or 57% compared to the year ended December
31, 2007. The decrease was the result of the decreased debenture
funding, stock sales and warrant sales in 2008.
We expect
to fund the ongoing operations through the existing financing in place (see
below); through raising additional funds as permitted by the terms of the Golden
State financing as well as reducing our monthly expenses.
Our
ability to fund the operations of the Company is highly dependent on the
underlying stock price of the Company. As a result of our stock price being
around the 52 week low mark and trending downward, our ability to raise cash is
restricted.
Pursuant
to the 4.75% Convertible Debenture due in 2011, beginning in November 2007,
Golden State is obligated to submit conversion notices in an amount such that
Golden State receives 1% of the outstanding shares of the Company every calendar
quarter for a period of one year. In connection with each conversion,
Golden State is expected to exercise warrants equal to 10 times the amount of
principal converted. The warrants are exercisable at $10.90 per
share. Beginning in November 2008, Golden State is required to convert
$3,000 of the 4.75% Convertible Debenture and exercise 30,000 warrants per
month. During the year ended December 31, 2008, we received $297,145 in
funding from Golden State as a result of the 4.75% Convertible Debenture
warrants exercised.
The
Company has been unable to meet it's monthly payment obligations under the
Sponsored Research Agreement (“SRA”) and received notification that they were in
default. A new payment schedule has been
negotiated. Failure of the Company to meet its payment
obligations under the new payment schedule could result in the termination of
the SRA, termination of the related projects, and termination of any outstanding
license agreements under the SRA.
18
On October 31, 2008, OU agreed to
revise the payment terms under the SRA from a fixed monthly payment to a
reimbursable cost payment basis effective September 1, 2008. As of September 30,
2008, the Company had a remaining obligation under the previous SRA payment
schedule of $2,665,818 which includes monthly payments due for December 2007
through August 31, 2008 of $861,131. The $1,804,687 balance of the
remaining scheduled payment obligation was cancelled. Under the terms
of the revised base payments schedule, the arrearages will be paid in nine
monthly base installments from October 31, 2008 to June 30, 2009 of amounts
ranging from $35,000 to $101,132 leaving a remaining balance after the base
payments of $290,000. In addition to the monthly base payments, the
Company agreed to make additional payments on the $861,131 arrearages based on a
formula of 50% of funding in excess of $120,000 plus the base monthly
payment. In the event funding does not provide for any additional
payments, the remaining balance would be $290,000, for which OU agreed to
accept 4,264,707 shares of the Company’s common stock based on the October 14,
2008 market price as reported on the OTC Bulletin Board of $0.068 per share as
payment on June 30, 2009. The Company has the option to repurchase
the shares at $0.068 per share by September 30, 2009, or at market value, but
not less than $0.068 per share, if the repurchase occurs after September 30,
2009.
In
addition, the management has put forward a proposal to the Board to reduce
operating expenses further through temporary salary cuts, partial payments to
consultants using stock and reduction in day-to-day expenses. We anticipate that
this, along with other measures, will reduce our current cash flow burn rate
from $267,000 per month to approximately of $180,000 to $195,000 per
month.
We also
intend to raise additional funds as permitted by the terms of Golden State
financing, to help with the short term capital needs.
Off
Balance Sheet Arrangements
3DIcon
does not engage in any off balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely
to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, and
results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.
Significant
Accounting Policies
Research
and Development Costs
Statement
of Accounting Standards No. 2, “Accounting for Research and Development Costs,”
requires that all research and development costs be expensed as incurred. Until
we have developed a commercial product, all costs incurred in connection with
the Sponsored Research Agreement with the University of Oklahoma, as well as all
other research and development costs incurred, will be expensed. After a
commercial product has been developed, we will report costs incurred in
producing products for sale as assets, but we will continue to expense costs
incurred for further product research and development activities.
Stock-Based
Compensation
Since its
inception 3DIcon has used its common stock or warrants to purchase its common
stock as a means of compensating our employees and consultants. Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 “Accounting for Stock Based
Compensation” and No. 123(R), “Share Based Payments,”
requires us to estimate the value of securities used for compensation and to
charge such amounts to expense over the periods benefited.
The estimated fair value at date of
grant of options for our common stock is estimated using the Black-Scholes
option pricing model, as follows:
The
expected dividend yield is based on the average annual dividend yield as of the
grant date. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of our
stock. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury
Constant Maturity rates as of the grant date. The expected life of the option is
based on historical exercise behavior and expected future
experience.
19
Subsequent
Events:
Debentures
payable
In
accordance with the terms of the Second Debenture an event of default occurs if
the common stock of the Company trades at a price per share of $0.21 or lower.
The trading price was at $0.21 or lower on several occasions during
the year ended December 31, 2008. On each of the occasions
Golden State, by separate letter agreements, agreed that the occasions did not
constitute a default and thereby waived the default provision for the
occasions.
Subsequent
to December 31, 2008, Golden State converted $111,500 of the 9.75% convertible
debenture into 4,855,767 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $0.018 to
$0.029 per share, converted $1,080 of the 4.75% convertible debenture into
5,598,495 shares of common stock at $0.0002 per share and exercised 10,800
warrants at $10.90 per share for $117,720 under the terms of the securities
purchase agreements.
Common
stock and paid in capital
Concordia
was issued 1,413,986 shares of common stock in payment of $31,500 for January
and February services under the consulting agreement. Additionally
common shares totaling 1,802,977 were issued to vendors in payment of $25,275
for services.
President’s resignation and interim
President appointed
On
February 3, 2009, Vivek Bhaman resigned as President, Chief Operating Officer
and Treasurer of 3DIcon Corporation effective March 3, 2009. Mr.
Bhaman was due an aggregate of $41,667 compensation for January and February
2009 under the terms of the April 29, 2007 Employment
Agreement. Additionally he is due $41,667 under the terms of the
October 12, 2008 Amended Employment Agreement which increased his annual
compensation to $300,000 from $250,000. Under the terms of the
contract, the Company elected to defer the $50,000 increase until April 30, 2009
and pay the increased compensation in registered common stock discounted at 25%
to the market price. Mr. Bhaman was issued 1,851,852 registered
common shares at $0.0225 per share for the $41,667 deferred
compensation. The Company has been unable to pay Mr. Bhaman for the
remaining $41,667 compensation under his original Employment
Contract. Additionally under the terms of the employment agreements,
Mr. Bhaman has vested 1,425,000 options to purchase shares at common stock of
the Company at prices ranging from $0.055 to $1.00 per share that expire at
various dated through October 12, 2018. In connection with his
resignation, the Company agreed to waive certain provisions of Mr. Bhaman's
employment agreement which prevented him from continuing to serve as a Director
of the Company following the termination of his employment. Accordingly, Mr.
Bhaman continues to serve as a Director of the Company.
On
February 9, 2009, the Board of Directors of the Company appointed James N. Welsh
to serve as the Company’s Interim Chief Operating Officer and Treasurer. His
appointment was effective as of March 1, 2009.
REOFFER
PROSPECTUS 2,851,852 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
The March
2009 reoffer prospectus relates to the sale of 2,851,852 shares of our common
stock, $.0002 par value per share, that may be offered and resold from time to
time by certain eligible participants and existing selling shareholders
identified in the prospectus for their own account issuable upon exercise of
currently outstanding stock options which have been issued pursuant to the
unanimous written consent of our Board of Directors and pursuant to the

shareholders will offer common shares for sale at prevailing prices on the OTC
Bulletin Board on the date of sale. We will receive no part of the proceeds from
sales made under this reoffer prospectus. The selling shareholders will bear all
sales commissions and similar expenses. Any other expenses incurred by us in
connection with the registration and offering and not borne by the selling
shareholders will be borne by us.
The
shares of common stock will be issued pursuant to awards granted by the
unanimous written consent of our Board of Directors and pursuant to the
employment agreement of certain officers and will be "control securities"
under the Securities Act before their sale under this reoffer prospectus. This
reoffer prospectus has been prepared for the purposes of registering the common
shares under the Securities Act to allow for future sales by selling
shareholders on a continuous or delayed basis to the public without
restriction.

9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL
DISCLOSURE.
On
January 7, 2009, Tullius Taylor Sartain & Sartain LLP, the prior independent
registered public accounting firm of the “Company, and Hogan & Slovacek,
P.C. merged their operations to become HoganTaylor LLP
(“HoganTaylor”). The respective employees, partners and shareholders
of the merged firms have become employees and partners of HoganTaylor which will
continue the practices of each of the merged firms. Consequently,
HoganTaylor has assumed the role of the independent registered public accounting
firm of the Company, subject to the approval or ratification of the Company’s
audit committee.
As this
is a combination of the two existing accounting firms and their respective
practices, there was no resignation of the predecessor firm. Also, as
this is a newly created firm, there have been no pre-engagement consultations or
contacts with HoganTaylor.
The
reports of Tullius Taylor Sartain & Sartain LLP regarding the Company’s
financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 did
not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified
or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that
their opinion on the Company’s financial statements for both fiscal years
contained a paragraph emphasizing uncertainty regarding the Company’s ability to
continue as a “going concern”. During the years ended December 31,
2007 and 2006, and during the period from December 31, 2007 through January 7,
2009, there were no disagreements with Tullius Taylor Sartain & Sartain LLP
on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement
disclosure or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved
to the satisfaction of Tullius Taylor Sartain & Sartain LLP would have
caused it to make reference to such disagreement in its report.
ITEM
9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Management’s
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls
and Procedures. Under the supervision and with the participation of our
management, including our President, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary, we
evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")) as of the end of the
period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our President, Chief
Financial Officer and Secretary concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were effective
such that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and (ii)
accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions
regarding disclosure. A controls system cannot provide absolute assurance,
however, that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation
of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances
of fraud, if any, within a company have been
detected.
21
Management’s Annual Report on
Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our management is responsible
for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial
reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our
internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide
reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of financial statements for external purposes of accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States.
Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not
prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be
effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control
objectives.
Our
management evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2008. In making this assessment, our
management used the Committee of Sponsoring Organization of the Treadway
Commission (“COSO”) framework, an integrated framework for the evaluation of
internal controls issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, our management
concluded that, as of December 31, 2008, our internal control over financial
reporting was effective.
This
annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public
accounting firm regarding internal control over financial
reporting. Management's report was not subject to
attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to
temporary rules of the SEC that permit the company to
provide only management's report in this annual
report.
Changes. During
the most recent quarter ended December 31, 2008, there has been no change in our
internal control over financial reporting (as
defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange
Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely
to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.

On
October 12, 2008, the Company entered into an Amendment to the Employment
Agreement of Vivek Bhaman, (the “Amendment”). Pursuant to the Amendment, Mr.
Bhaman’s base salary effective May 1, 2008 is $300,000, representing an annual
increase of $50,000. The Company has the option to defer payment of any or all
of the increase until April 30, 2009. If deferred, the Company may elect to pay
the increase in shares of the Company’s common stock at a 25% discount to the
market price of the Company’s common stock on April 30, 2009. The Bonus
provision of Mr. Bhaman’s employment agreement has been deleted. In addition,
pursuant to the amendment, Mr. Bhaman was granted an aggregate of 6,000,000
options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of
$0.055 per share with a term of 10 years comprised of (i) 1,000,000 options
vesting immediately valued at $50,782, and (ii) 5,000,000 options valued at
$253,909, vesting at a rate of 125,000 options per quarter. The vesting schedule
of the 5,000,000 options may be accelerated if the market price of the Company’s
common stock exceeds certain thresholds pursuant to the terms of the Amendment.
In addition, pursuant to the amendment, in the event that Mr. Bhaman’s
employment with the Company is terminated, he shall be entitled to severance pay
equal to his regular monthly salary for a period not to exceed 6
months.
On
February 3, 2009, Vivek Bhaman resigned as President, Chief Operating Officer
and Treasurer of 3DIcon Corporation effective March 3, 2009. Mr.
Bhaman was due an aggregate of $41,667 compensation for January and February
2009 under the terms of the April 29, 2007 Bhaman
Agreement. Additionally he is due $41,667 under the terms of the
October 12, 2008 Amendment which increased his annual compensation to $300,000
from $250,000. Under the terms of the Amendment, the Company elected
to defer the $50,000 increase until April 30, 2009 and pay the increased
compensation in registered common stock discounted at 25% to the market
price. On March 9, 2009 Mr. Bhaman was issued 1,851,852 registered
common shares at $0.0225 per share for the $41,667 deferred
compensation. The Company has been unable to pay Mr. Bhaman for the
remaining $41,667 compensation. Additionally under the terms of the
employment agreements, Mr. Bhaman has vested 1,425,000 options to purchase
shares of common stock of the Company at prices ranging from $0.055 to
$1.00 per share that expire at various dates through October 12,
2018. In connection with his resignation, the Company agreed to waive
certain provisions of Mr. Bhaman's employment agreement which prevented him from
continuing to serve as a Director of the Company following the termination of
his employment. Accordingly, Mr. Bhaman continues to serve as a Director of the
Company.
On July 28, 2008 the Company entered
into an Employment Agreement with Dr. Hakki Refai (the “Employment Agreement”)
pursuant to which Dr. Refai has agreed to serve as the Chief Technology Officer
of the Company. Dr. Refai’s employment under the Employment Agreement commenced
on October 1, 2008 and will continue for a term of one year from October 1,
2008, the date on which he became a full-time employee of the Company. The term
of the Employment Agreement will automatically extend for successive one year
periods unless otherwise terminated by the parties in accordance with the terms
of the Employment Agreement. The following represents the material terms of the
Employment Agreement:
25
|
·
|
Annual
salary of $175,000 until the achievement of certain technical milestones
as provided in the Employment Agreement (the “Technical Milestones”). Upon
achievement of the Technical Milestones, the annual salary shall increase
to $200,000;
|
|
·
|
Commission
which shall not exceed 3% of sales of the Company’s Pixel Precision™ and
CSpace™ technologies products, which commission shall not exceed $30,000
for the 12 month period commencing on October 1, 2008 and $50,000 for the
12 month period commencing on October 1, 2009;
and
|
|
·
|
Grant
of 5,000,000 incentive stock options with a term of 10 years and an
exercise price of $0.085 per share which vest as
follows:
|
|
1.
|
The
first installment of 500,000 options, valued at $33,622, are vested and
exercisable on October 1, 2008, the date Dr. Refai commences full-time
employment;
|
|
2.
|
3,500,000
options, valued at $235,357, vesting in accordance with certain technical
achievements, deliverables and milestones as provided in the Employment
Agreement; and
|
|
3.
|
1,000,000
options vesting in accordance with certain non-technical, general
milestones as provided in the Employment Agreement or upon severance of
the Employment Agreement under certain conditions as provided in the
Employment Agreement.
|
Prior to
Dr. Refai joining the Company on a full-time basis, he served as the
co-principal investigator for the Static Volume / CSpace technologies being
developed under the Company's Sponsored Research Agreement with the University
of Oklahoma. Dr. Refai is the lead inventor of the CSpace technology and the
creator of the Company’s first product, Pixel Precision™. He authored the patent
applications for the Static Volume Displays, Virtual Moving Screen Displays and
Interaction of Micro-Mirror Device with Computer System. Dr. Refai received his
BS degree in electrical engineering in 1992 from Aleppo University in Syria and
his MS and PhD degrees in electrical and computer engineering in 2002 and 2005,
respectively, from the University of Oklahoma.
The
estimated fair market value of the options was determined using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model. The expected dividend yield of $-0- is based
on the average annual dividend yield as of the grant date. Expected volatility
of 95.50% is based on the historical volatility of the stock since July 25,
2007, the day the Company began trading on the Over-the-counter Bulletin Board.
The risk-free interest rate of 2.0% is based on the U.S. Treasury Constant
Maturity rates as of the grant date. The expected life of the option of five
years is based on historical exercise behavior and expected future
experience. Operations were charged $100,867 in 2008 for the vesting
of the options cost of Mr. Refai under the terms of the Employment
Agreement.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC
ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of
3DIcon Corporation
We have audited the
accompanying balance sheets
of 3DIcon Corporation (a
Development Stage Company)
as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficiency and cash flows for the years then ended and for the period from
inception (January 1, 2001) to December 31, 2008. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits. Tullius Taylor Sartain & Sartain LLP audited the
financial statements of 3DIcon Corporation as of and for the
year ended December 31, 2007 and for the period from inception
(January 1, 2001) to December 31, 2007 and merged with Hogan & Slovacek P.C. to form
HoganTaylor LLP effective
January 7, 2009.
We conducted our audits in accordance
with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United
States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used
and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide
a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of 3DIcon
Corporation as of December
31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended and for the period from
inception (January 1, 2001) to December 31, 2008, in conformity with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles.
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company
will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial
statements, the Company is a development stage organization having insufficient
revenues and capital commitments to fund the development of its planned
products. This raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue
as a going concern. Management's plan in regard to these matters is also
described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
We were
not engaged to examine management’s assertion about the effectiveness of 3DIcon
Corporation’s internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31,
2008, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over
Financial Reporting and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion
thereon.

NOTES TO
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Years
ended December 31, 2008 and 2007
and
period from Inception (January 1, 2001) to December 31, 2008
Note
1 – Organization and Operations
Organization
3DIcon
Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated on August 11, 1995, under the laws
of the State of Oklahoma as First Keating Corporation. The articles
of incorporation were amended August 1, 2003 to change the name to 3DIcon
Corporation. The initial focus of First Keating Corporation was to
market and distribute books written by its founder, Martin
Keating. During 2001, First Keating Corporation began to focus on the
development of 360-degree holographic technology. The effective date
of this transition is January 1, 2001, and the financial information presented
is from that date through the current period. The Company has
accounted for this transition as reorganization and accordingly, restated its
capital accounts as of January 1, 2001. From January 1, 2001, the
Company's primary activity has been the raising of capital in order to pursue
its goal of becoming a significant participant in the formation and
commercialization of interactive, optical holography for the communications and
entertainment industries.
The
mission of the Company is to pursue, develop and market full-color, 360-degree
person-to-person holographic technology. Its primary focus is to
invest and participate in the commercialization of optical holographic
technologies now planned and/or under development, particularly those employing
derivative broadband, satellite-based systems. At this time, the
Company owns no intellectual property rights in holographic technologies and has
no contracts or agreements pending to acquire such rights.
Uncertainties
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern
basis. The Company is in the development stage and has insufficient
revenue and capital commitments to fund the development of its planned product
and to pay operating expenses. Additionally, the Company has been unable to meet
its monthly payment obligations and is therefore in default of the Sponsored
Research Agreement (“SRA”) (see note 4). A revised payment schedule
was agreed to in October 2008. Failure of the Company to meet its
revised payment obligations could result in the termination or the SRA and any
outstanding license agreements under the SRA. The Company has
realized a cumulative net loss of $11,010,079 for the period from
inception (January 1, 2001) to December 31, 2008, and a net loss of $3,611,550
and $3,928,996 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007,
respectively. .
See notes
to financial statements
F-7
Note
1 – Organization and Operations (continued)
The
ability of the Company to continue as a going concern during the next year
depends on the successful completion of the Company's capital raising efforts to
fund the development of its planned products. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company
is unable to continue as a going concern.
Management
plans to fund the future operations of the Company with existing cash of
$48,400, grants and investor funding. Under the terms of the Golden Gate
debentures, Golden Gate may advance an additional $378,787. The
additional advance would be available if the Company filed a registration
statement, however, the Company does not plan to file such registration
statement. In addition, pursuant
to the 4.75% Convertible Debenture due in 2011, beginning in November 2007,
Golden Gate is obligated to submit conversion notices in an amount such that
Golden Gate receives 1% of the outstanding shares of the Company every calendar
quarter for a period of one year. In connection with each conversion,
Golden Gate is expected to exercise warrants equal to 10 times the amount of
principal converted. The warrants are exercisable at $10.90 per
share. The number of warrants exercisable is subject to certain beneficial
ownership limitations contained in the 4.75% Debenture and the warrants (“the Beneficial
Ownership Limitations”). The Beneficial Ownership Limitations prevent
Golden Gate from converting on the 4.75% Debenture or exercising warrants if
such conversion or exercise would cause Golden Gate’s holdings to exceed 9.99%
of the Company’s
issued and outstanding
common stock. Subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitations, Golden
Gate is required to convert $3,000 of the 4.75% Convertible Debenture and
exercise 30,000 warrants per month. Based upon our current stock price,
our issued and outstanding shares as of December 31, 2008 and ignoring the
impact of the Beneficial Ownership Limitations, we may receive up to $981,000 in
funding from Golden Gate as a result of warrant exercises subsequent to December
31, 2008.
The Company was approved for a matching
grant from Oklahoma Center for the Advancement of Science and Technology
(“OCAST”) on November 19, 2008 in the amount of approximately $300,000 to be
provided during 2009 and 2010. (See note 10)

Note
2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Research
and development
Research
and development costs, including payments made to the University of Oklahoma
pursuant to the SRA, are expensed as incurred. (Note 4)
Stock-based
compensation
The
Company accounts for stock-based compensation arrangements for employees in
accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123(R), Share-Based
Payments. The Company recognizes expenses for employee
services received in exchange for stock based compensation on the grant-date
fair value of the shares awarded. The Company accounts for stock
issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation, and the related Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF)
Consensuses.
Income
taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. SFAS No. 109 requires the
recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the estimated future tax
consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial
statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their
respective tax bases. In addition, SFAS No. 109 requires the
recognition of future tax benefits, such as net operating loss carry forwards,
to the extent that realization of such benefits is more likely than
not. The amount of deferred tax liabilities or assets is calculated
using tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are
expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax
assets and liabilities of a change in tax rate is recognized in income in the
period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established
when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts more likely than not
to be realized.
Net
income (loss) per common share
The
Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 98
(“SAB 98”). Under the provisions of SFAS No. 128 and SAB 98, basic net income
(loss) per common share is based on the weighted-average outstanding common
shares. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is based on the
weighted-average outstanding shares adjusted for the dilutive effect of warrants
to purchase common stock and convertible debentures. Due to the
Company’s losses, such potentially dilutive securities are anti-dilutive for all
periods presented. The weighted average number
of potentially dilutive shares are 21,930,644 and 10,935,382 for the
years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
See notes
to financial statements
F-9
Note
2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Use
of estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with U. S. generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could
differ from the estimates and assumptions used.
Debt issue costs
The Company defers and amortizes the
legal and filing fees associated with long-term debt that is
issued. These costs are primarily related to the convertible
debentures, the majority of which have a three year term. The
amortization is charged to operations over the three year term and then adjusted
quarterly for debenture conversions to common stock.
Fair value of financial
instruments
The
following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each
class of financial instrument held by the Company:
Current assets and current
liabilities – The carrying value approximates fair value due to the short
maturity of these items.
Debentures payable – The fair
value of the Company's debentures payable has been estimated by the Company
based upon the liability’s characteristics, including interest
rate. The carrying value approximates fair value.
Note
3 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The following are summaries of recent
accounting pronouncements that are relevant to the
Company:
In April
2008, the FASB issued Staff Position (“FSP”) No. FAS 142-3, “Determination of
the
Useful Life of Intangible
Assets” (“FSP FAS 142-3”). FSP FAS 142-3 amends the factors that should
be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine
the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142,
“Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” This FSP is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and
interim periods within those fiscal years. The guidance contained in this FSP
for determining the useful life of a recognized intangible asset is applied
prospectively to intangible assets acquired after the effective date. Additional
disclosures required in this FSP are applied prospectively to all intangible
assets recognized as of, and subsequent to, the effective date.
See notes
to financial statements
F-10
Note 3 –
Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)
In
September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, "Fair Value
Measurements" ("SFAS 157"). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a
framework and gives guidance regarding the methods used for measuring fair
value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. In February 2008,
the FASB released FASB Staff Position, (FSP) SFAS 157-2—Effective Date of
FASB Statement No. 157, which delays the effective date of SFAS 157
for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except those that
are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a
recurring basis (at least annually) to fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2008. We adopted SFAS 157
as it applies to financial assets and liabilities as of January 1, 2008.
The implementation of SFAS 157, as it relates to financial assets and
liabilities did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of
operations and cash flows.
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an amendment of FASB Statement
No. 115” (“SFAS 159”). This Statement permits entities to make an
irrevocable election to measure certain financial instruments and other assets
and liabilities at fair value on an instrument-by-instrument basis. Unrealized
gains and losses on items for which the fair value option is elected will be
recognized in net earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS 159 is
effective for the Company’s year that began January 1, 2008. The adoption of
SFAS 159 did not have a material effect on the financial
statements.
In
March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities an amendment of FASB Statement
No. 133. (“SFAS 161”) SFAS 161 changes the disclosure requirements
for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to
provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses
derivative instruments,
(b) how derivative instruments and related hedge items are accounted for
under Statement 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities, and its related interpretations, and
(c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s
financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 is intended
to enhance the current disclosure framework in SFAS 133 and requires qualitative
disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative
disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative
instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk related contingent features in
derivative agreements. The provisions of SFAS 161 are effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after
November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The adoption of this
statement will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial
statements.
In May
2008, FASB issued SFAS
No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles”. This statement identifies the sources of accounting
principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the
preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are
presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in
the United States (the GAAP hierarchy). This statement is effective 60 days
following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Presented Fairly in
Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting
See notes
to financial statements
F-11
Note 3 –

Principles. The adoption of
this statement did have a material effect on the Company’s financial
statements.
Note
4 – Sponsored Research Agreement (SRA)
On April
20, 2004, the Company entered into a SRA entitled "Investigation of Emerging
Digital Holography Technologies" (Phase I) with the University of Oklahoma -
Tulsa (“University”), which expired October 19, 2004. On July 15, 2005, the

agreed to make additional payments on the $861,131 arrearages based on a formula
of 50% of funding in excess of $120,000 plus the base monthly
payment. In the event funding does not provide for any additional
payments, the remaining balance would be $290,000, which OU agreed to accept
4,264,707 shares of the Company’s common stock based on the October 14, 2008
market price as reported on the OTC Bulletin Board of $0.068 per share as

Golden Gate Investors, Inc. (“Golden Gate”) on November 3, 2006, as amended on
December 15, 2006 and February 6, 2007, for the sale of a 6.25% convertible
debenture in the principal amount of $1,250,000 (the “First Debenture”). The

6.25%
Convertible Debenture due 2010
Pursuant
to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, on October 24, 2007, at such time as the
principal balance of the First Debenture was less than $400,000, the Company
provided Golden Gate with written notice that it desired to require Golden Gate
to purchase the second debenture.
On
November 21, 2007, the Company issued and sold a convertible note in the
principal amount of $1,250,000 to Golden Gate (the “Second
Debenture”). Pursuant to the terms of the Second Debenture, Golden
Gate may, at its election, convert all or a part of the Second Debenture into
shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion rate equal to the lesser of
(i) $2.00 or (ii) 90% of the average of the five lowest volume weighted average
prices during the twenty trading days prior to Golden Gate’s election to
convert, subject to adjustment as provided in the Second
Debenture. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Second
Debenture, the Company agreed to file a registration statement covering the
shares of common stock issuable upon conversion or redemption of the Second
Debenture. The registration statement became effective on January 4,
2008.
Golden
Gate advanced $125,000 on the second $1.25 million debenture on November 9,
2007. Additionally, Golden Gate advanced $312,500 directly to the
Company and $433,713 to an escrow account on the Second Debenture in January
2008 at which time the Company placed 7,961,783 shares of common stock in escrow
to be released as debentures are converted. As of December 31, 2008, Golden Gate
has funded an aggregate of $871,213 on the Second Debenture. Golden Gate will be
obligated to fund the Company for the remaining $378,787 in principal on the
Second Debenture upon the effectiveness of a registration statement underlying
the remaining unfunded principal balance on the Second Debenture. At this time,
the Company has not filed a registration statement. Under the terms
of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the escrowed funds were advanced to the
Company during 2008. At various dates during 2008, $292,611 of the debenture was
converted into 3,651,337 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $0.05 to
$0.14 based on the formula in the convertible debenture. Shares remaining in
escrow and reported as outstanding at December 31, 2008 total
4,310,449.
Pursuant
to the terms of the second $1.25 million debenture, the Company filed a
registration statement covering the shares to be issued upon conversion of the
debenture. The registration statement
was effective January 4, 2008. Included in the registration statement
are 2.25 million shares issuable upon conversion of the $333,971 balance of the
First Debenture and 4.25 million shares issuable on the Second Debenture based
on current market prices and assuming full conversion of the convertible
debentures.
In
addition to standard default provisions concerning timeliness of payments,
delivery and notifications, the Second Debenture will be in default if the
common stock of the Company trades at a price per share of $0.21 or lower,
regardless of whether the trading price subsequently is higher than $0.21 per
share. The Second Debenture is secured by the pledge of 11 million
shares of common stock held by Martin Keating, the Chairman of the
Company. In the event of default and the Company has not repaid all
outstanding principal and accrued interest, along with liquidating damages of
$250,000 within one day of default, Golden Gate shall have the right to
immediately sell the pledged shares in satisfaction of any amounts of principal
and interest owing under the Second Debenture. (See Note -13
Subsequent events)

F-16
Note
6 – Debentures Payable (continued)
In
accordance with the terms of the Second Debenture, an event of default occurs if
the common stock of the Company trades at a price per share of $0.21 or lower.
The trading price was at $0.21 or lower on several occasions during 2008. On
each of the occasions Golden Gate, by separate letter agreements, agreed that
the occasions did not constitute a default and thereby waived the default
provision for those occasions only.
4.75%
Convertible Debenture due 2011
On
November 3, 2006, the Company also issued to Golden Gate a 4.75% convertible
debenture in a principal amount of $100,000, due 2011, and warrants to buy
1,000,000 shares of the common stock at an exercise price of $10.90 per
share. Under the terms of the debenture, warrants are exercised
in an amount equal to ten times the dollar amount of the debenture
conversion. During 2007 Golden Gate converted $596 of the $100,000
debenture into 244,045 shares of common stock at $0.002 per share, exercised
warrants to purchase 5,956 shares of common stock at $10.90 per share and the
Company received $64,920 from the exercise of the
warrants. During 2008, Golden Gate converted $2,726 of the
$100,000 debenture into 5,115,695 shares of common stock at $0.002 per share,
exercised warrants to purchase 27,261 shares of common stock at $10.90 per share
and the Company received $297,145 from the exercise of the

To obtain
funding for ongoing operations, the Company entered into a Bridge Financing
Agreement with Golden Gate which closed on June 11, 2007 (the “Financing
Agreement”), for the sale of a 9.75% convertible debenture in the principal
amount of $700,000. Pursuant to the Financing Agreement, the Company filed a
registration statement with the SEC within three days of closing for the resale
of the common stock underlying the $1.25 million convertible debenture, which
was issued to Golden Gate Investors on November 3, 2006. The Company
received gross proceeds of $700,000 from the sale of the aforementioned
debenture. At various
dates during 2008, $336,000 of the debenture was converted into 8,079,895 shares
of common stock at prices ranging from $0.04 to $0.05 per common share based on
the formula in the
convertible debenture. The June 8, 2008 original due date of the 9.75%
debentures has been extended to July 31, 2009.
The
debenture may be converted, at Golden Gate’s option, in whole or in part, into
restricted shares of the Company’s common stock. The conversion price will be
$0.28 until the earlier of, the Company’s shares trading on the OTC Bulletin
Board or other trading market that the SEC recognizes as a trading market, or
January 1, 2008. Subsequently, the conversion price is equal to 72% of the
average of the five lowest volume weighted average prices for the common
stock for the 20
trading days prior to the conversion date. The convertible debenture matures
June 11, 2008; subject to an option held by Golden Gate to extend the
maturity for one period of six months. Interest on the convertible debenture is
