NOTES
TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Six
months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 and period
From
inception (January 1, 2001 to June 30, 2008
(Unaudited)
Note
1 - Uncertainties and Use of Estimates
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying financial statements of 3DIcon Corporation (the “Company”) have
been prepared without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The
Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information
presented not misleading. These financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Company's year end audited financial statements and related
footnotes included in the previously filed 10KSB. In the opinion of management,
all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary
to
present fairly the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2008, and
the statements of its operations for the three and six months ended June 30,
2008 and 2007 and the period from inception (January 1, 2001) to June 30, 2008,
and cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, and
the
period from inception (January 1, 2001) to June 30, 2008, have been included.
The results of operations for interim periods may not be indicative of the
results which may be realized for the full year.
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.
Revenue
Recognition and Cost of Goods Sold
Revenues
from software sales are accounted for in accordance with American Institute
of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2,
“Software Revenue Recognition.” The Company recognizes revenue when (i)
persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) delivery has occurred or
services have been rendered; (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable;
and
(iv) collectibility is reasonably assured.
The
cost
of software sales consists of commissions payable to the exclusive distributor.
Shared marketing support costs are charged to operations when incurred.
Uncertainties
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
The Company is in the development stage and has no source of revenue to fund
the
development of its planned product or to pay operating expenses. This has
resulted in the Company realizing a cumulative net loss of $9,558,224 for the
period from inception (January 1, 2001) to June 30, 2008. 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.
9
Note
1 - Uncertainties and Use of Estimates (continued)
Management
plans to fund the future operations of the Company with the $248,119 of cash
in
escrowed funds that will be advanced in 2008 and existing cash of $124,991.
Further, the Company has negotiated funding from Golden Gate Investors, Inc.
Under the terms of the debentures, Golden Gate will advance an additional
$378,787 to the Company during the remainder of 2008. Additionally, the Company
is continuing to pursue additional capitalization through Rule 144 stock sales,
debentures, and other venture capital investments. There is also the possibility
of continuing revenue in 2008 from software sales and licensing of the Company’s
products.
Note
2 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The
following are summaries of recent accounting pronouncements that are relevant
to
the Company:
In
September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157,
“Fair Value Measurements”
(“SFAS
157”). This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring
fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157
is
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years except for
certain nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities for which the effective
date has been deferred by one year in accordance with FASB Staff Position
(“FSP”) FAS 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157” (“FSP FAS
157-2”). Also in February 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-1, “Application of
FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement No. 13 and Other Accounting
Pronouncements That Address Fair Value Measurements for Purposes of Lease
Classification or Measurement under Statement 13” (“FSP FAS 157-1”). FSP FAS
157-1 amends SFAS No. 157, to exclude SFAS No. 13, “Accounting for
Leases”, and other accounting pronouncements that address fair value
measurements for purposes of lease classification or measurement under SFAS
No. 13. FSP FAS 157-1 is effective with the initial adoption of SFAS 157.
The adoption of SFAS 157 did not have a material effect on the financial
statements.
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 begins January 1, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 159 did not have a material
effect on the financial statements.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business
Combinations”
(“SFAS
141R”). SFAS 141R will significantly change the accounting for business
combinations in a number of areas including the treatment of contingent
consideration, contingencies, acquisition costs, and restructuring costs. In
addition, under SFAS 141R, changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances
and acquired income tax uncertainties in a business combination after the
measurement period will affect income tax expense. SFAS 141R is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of this
statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial
statements.
In
December 2007, FASB issued SFAS
No. 160,
“Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an Amendment of
ARB No. 51”.
This
statement amends ARB
51
to
establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest
in
a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. This statement is
effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years,
beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. We
do not have such subsidiaries therefore the adoption of the provisions of
SFAS
No.
160
will not
affect our results of operations or financial position.
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.
Management is currently assessing the potential impact that the adoption of
SFAS
161 could have on our financial statements. Additional disclosures required
in
this FSP are applied prospectively to all intangible assets recognized as of,
and subsequent to, the effective date.
10
Note
2 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)
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.
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
Principles.
The
adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the
Company’s financial statements.
Note
3 - 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. The Company paid the
University $14,116 pursuant to this agreement. On July 15, 2005, the Company
entered into a SRA with the University (Phase II), which expired January 14,
2007. Under this agreement the University conducted a research project entitled
"Investigation of Emerging 3-Dimensional Display Technologies" and the Company
agreed to pay the University $453,584 at various dates from November 10, 2005
through July 15, 2006 to cover the costs of the research. The final payment
of
$226,792, due on July 15, 2006, was not paid and the agreement was modified
in
November 2006 to provide $125,259 additional funding, extend the term of the
agreement through June 30, 2007, and revise the payment schedule to combine
the
July 15, 2006 remaining balance due of $226,792 with the additional funding
into
a revised payment schedule. Under the terms of the agreement the Company agreed
to pay the combined remaining obligation of $352,052 in four equal installments
of $88,013 on December 31, 2006 through June 30, 2007.
On
February 23, 2007 the Company entered into a SRA with the University (Phase
III)
which expires March 31, 2010. Under this agreement the University will conduct
a
research project entitled “3-Dimensional Display Development” that seeks to make
significant progress in the development of 3-dimensional display technologies.
The Company will pay the University $3,468,595 payable in monthly installment
ranging from $92,263 to $112,777 beginning April 30, 2007 and ending March
31,
2010, an aggregate commitment of $4,047,439. During the six-month periods ended
June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company paid the University $576,679 and $420,888,
respectively pursuant to the SRA. At June 30, 2008, the Company owed the
University $676,697 under the agreement.

Securities
Purchase Agreement
6.25%
Convertible Debenture due 2009
The
Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) with
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 (“First Debenture.”) The Company
agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC for the resale of the
common stock underlying the debenture. The registration statement became
effective on July 3, 2007. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Golden
Gate advanced $125,000 during 2006 and converted the $125,000 debenture into
357,142 shares of common stock on July 16, 2007 at $0.35 per share. Pursuant
to
the Securities Purchase Agreement, Golden Gate provided the Company with an
additional $312,500 of debenture funding upon effectiveness of the registration
statement and converted the $312,500 debenture into 892,857 shares of common
stock on July 17, 2007 at $0.35 per share. The remaining $812,500 of the $1.25
million debenture was placed with an escrow agent during 2007. During the
remainder of 2007 $400,000 was released. Additionally $412,500 was released
in
2008. At
various dates during 2007, $1,189,029 of the debenture was converted into
4,904,335 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $0.17 to $0.26. During
the first quarter of 2008 the remaining $60,971 of the $1,250,000 debenture
was
converted into 504,643 shares of common stock at a price of $0.12 based on
the
formula in the convertible debenture.
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. Golden Gate advanced $125,000 on the second
$1.25 million debenture in November 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. As of June 30, 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. Under the terms of the
Securities Purchase Agreement, the escrowed funds are available to be advanced
to the Company at the rate of $200,000 per month beginning March 1, 2008. As
of
June 30, 2008, the Company has received advances of $187,500 from the escrowed
funds from the second $1,250,000 debenture. At various dates during 2008,
$123,456 of the debenture was converted into 981,337 shares of common stock
at
prices ranging from $0.09 to $0.14 based on the formula in the convertible
debenture.
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 four occasions only.
12
Note
4 - Debentures Payable (continued)
9.75%
Convertible due October 2008
To
obtain
funding for ongoing operations, the Company entered into a Bridge Financing
Agreement with Golden Gate Investors 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 agreed to file 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. The June 8, 2008 original due date of the 9.75%
debentures has been extended to October 8, 2008.
4.75%
Convertible Debenture due 2011
On
November 3, 2006, the Company also issued to Golden Gate a 4¾% 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.
Golden Gate converted $626 of the $100,000 debenture into 381,842 shares of
common stock during 2008 at $0.002 per share and exercised warrants to purchase
3,511 shares of common stock at $10.90 per share. The Company received $38,269
from the exercise of the warrants.
Note
5 - Common Stock and Paid-In Capital
Pursuant
to a Subscription Agreement dated October 12, 2007, the Company sold 1,188,960
shares of the Company’s common stock at a per share price equal to 75% of the
average closing price during the five (5) days prior to the signing ($.31 per
share) and warrants to purchase 594,480 shares of its common stock at a price
of
$0.40 per share from October 12, 2007 through October 11, 2008, or $0.50 per
share from October 12, 2008 through October 11, 2009 to two accredited
individuals. The Company received $280,000 in cash from the sale. The warrants
terminate October 11, 2009.
As
of
June 30, 2008, there are warrants outstanding to purchase 594,480 shares of
common stock at a price of $0.40 per share from October 12, 2007 through October
11, 2008, or $0.50 per share from October 12, 2008 through October 11,
2009.
Common
stock and options issued for services
During
2008 shares of common stock totaling 1,162,281 were issued for consulting
services for which the Company recognized $164,250 of expense.
Options
exercised
Under
the
terms of the Concordia consulting agreement, Concordia exercised 550,000
cashless options to purchase 409,677 shares of common stock at the agreed
exercise price of $.05.
Options
granted
On
February 25, 2008, the Company agreed to compensate Board members who are not
employees of the Corporation with options to purchase registered stock of the
corporation equaling the value of $100,000 each; using standard evaluation
methods. The Board granted 687,189 vested options each to six directors; the
exercise price for each option is $0.24 per share. The options expire at the
end
of ten years. The $300,000 compensation is for services on the Board during
all
or part of the calendar year 2008 and is deemed fully earned on the date of
the
grant. Operations were charged with $300,000 for the six months ending June
30,
2008. 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 71.33% is based on the historical volatility of the

Plan
of Operation
Background:
We
are
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 our 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
we are 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:
(a)
Swept
Volume Display Technology
15
(b)
Static Volume Display Technology: An alternate approach to the swept volumetric
display in which the image is created within certain volumetric media (also
called projection space or image matrix), such as nano-particles dispersed
in a
transparent or semi-transparent medium to produce an innovative “volumetric
projection screen or projection space”. This, in addition to existing and
rapidly evolving image projection technologies, such as DLP®/DMD technology from
Texas Instruments, are being innovatively incorporated to produce full-color,
full-motion 3D visualization, and in harmony with 3DIcon’s vision for product
development.
We
have
expanded the scope of the initial SRA with OU to include the research and
prototype development of the volumetric displays using
nanotechnology.
The
OU
team has made significant progress in the development of a proof-of-concept
demonstration unit for the Swept Volume Display and the University has
demonstrated a Stage I Swept Volume volumetric display in the third quarter
of
2007 that renders full color volumetric 3D images. The research team is now
aiming to create the second stage demonstration prototype that aims to improve
certain aspects as well as demonstrate additional embodiments as claimed in
the
patent filing. A feasibility study is under way to determine the various
strategies for scaling the system as an outdoor type display.
Under
the
scope of the revised SRA, OU has assigned a second multi-disciplinary team
to
focus on the development of light sensitive nano-materials (up-conversion
materials), the medium for dispersion of the up-conversion materials and the
optics using digital micro-mirror devices including the controls
thereof.
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 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 2 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
filed Provisional Applications.

RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2008 COMPARED TO THE THREE
MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 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 $10,900 before commissions and costs from the sales of
PixelPrecision™ in the second quarter of 2008.
The
cost
of sales for Pixel Precision includes commissions payable to the exclusive
distributor- Digital Light Innovations (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.
The
anticipated revenue from the sales of this product is expected to ramp-up over
a
period of time. 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 2008 to
cover the operating expenses.
17
Research
and Development Expenses
The
research and development expenses were $276,679 for the three months ended
June
30, 2008 as compared to $316,277 for the three months ended June 30, 2007.
The
decrease was a result of the reduction in monthly payments which earlier
included pay-off of accumulated arrears, before the subsequent revision of
the
SRA wherein the scope of the agreement was expanded.
General
and Administrative Expenses
Our
general and administrative expenses were $606,777 for the three months ended
June 30, 2008 as compared to $471,061 for the three months ended June 30, 2007.
The increase in general and administrative expenses resulted from an increase
in
payroll due to hiring of senior management. In addition, we have significantly
expanded the scope of operations since June 2007. The increased scope of
operations includes the reporting responsibilities as a result of 3DIcon
becoming a reporting company, consulting resources (for investor relations;
financial and strategic consulting; federal outreach), travel and the Pixel
Precision product launch. The expenses for the three months ended June 30,
2008
also include expenses related to conducting of the Annual Shareholders Meeting
on May 17, 2008. The previous annual shareholders’ meeting was held in October
2006.
Interest
Expense
Interest
expense for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was $31,509 as compared to
$23,462 for the three months ended June 30, 2007. The increase in interest
expense resulted from increases in the amounts outstanding on our convertible
debentures, including the 9.75% Bridge Loan Debenture closed on June 11,
2007.
RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2008 COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTHS
ENDED JUNE 30, 2007

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 2008 to cover the operating
expenses.
Research
and Development Expenses
The
research and development expenses were $576,679 for the six months ended June
30, 2008 as compared to $420,888 for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The
increase resulted directly from the inception of the Sponsored Research
Agreement (SRA) with the University of Oklahoma and the subsequent revision
of
the SRA wherein the scope of the agreement was expanded.
General
and Administrative Expenses
Our
general and administrative expenses were $1,524,606 for the six months ended
June 30, 2008 as compared to $1,271,712 for the six months ended June 30, 2007.
The increase in general and administrative expenses resulted from hiring of
management staff and increased scope of operations as discussed in the three
months ending June 30, 2008 above.
Interest
Expense
Interest
expense for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $64,375 as compared to
$36,506 for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The increase in interest expense
resulted from increases in the amounts outstanding on our convertible
debentures, including the interest expense for the 9.75% Bridge Loan Debenture
closed on June 11, 2007.
18
Financial
Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Management
remains focused on controlling cash expenses. We recognize our limited cash
resources and plan our expenses accordingly. We intend to leverage
stock-for-services wherever possible. The operating budget consists of the
following expenses:
·
|
Research
and development expenses pursuant to our Sponsored Research Agreement
with
the University of Oklahoma. This includes development of an initial
demonstrable prototype and a second prototype for static volume
technology
|
·
|
Acceleration
of R&D thorough increased research personnel as well as other research
agencies
|
·
|
General
and Administrative expenses: salaries, insurance, investor related

Our
independent registered public accountants, in their audit report accompanying
our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007, 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 $373,110 at June 30, 2008.
We
had
negative working capital (i.e. the difference between current assets and current
liabilities) of $1,127,050 at June 30, 2008.
During
the six months ended June 30, 2008, we used $1,193,269 of cash for operating
activities, an increase of $212,603 or 22% compared to the six months ended
June
30, 2007. The increase in the use of cash for operating activities was a result
of the addition of personnel $103,000; interest on debentures $28,000; marketing
and public relations $ 78,000; annual shareholders’ meeting $40,000 legal,
accounting and SEC filings $10,000; and new contracts entered into in the later
part of 2007 of $131,000. There were decreases in various operating expenses
of
approximately $177,000.
Cash
used
in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $19,599,
an increase of $19,285 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2007.
Cash
provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2008
was
$880,459, a decrease of $126,041 or 12% compared to the six months ended June
30, 2007.
We
expect
to fund the ongoing operations through the existing financing in place (see
below); through raising additional funds to as permitted by the terms of Golden
Gate financing as well as reducing our burn rate.
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.
We
expect
to receive the remaining unpaid principal balance of $378,787 from the Second
Debenture upon effectiveness of a registration statement covering the shares
underlying the remaining unpaid principal balance. We expect to file such
registration statement in the Third Quarter of 2008. 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. Beginning in November 2008, 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 and issued and outstanding
shares as of August 6, 2008, we expect to receive approximately $100,000 in
funding from Golden Gate as a result of warrant exercises from September 1,
2008
through October 31, 2008. In addition, we expect to receive an additional
$654,000 in funding from November 1, 2008 through December 31,
2008.
19
In
addition we have proposed to revise the payment terms under its SRA from a
fixed
monthly payment to an actual expense payment basis as well as proposed to pay
arrears in part in stock. As of June 30, 2008 we have a remaining obligation
under the SRA payment schedule of $2,655,818 which includes payments due for
December 2007 through June 30, 2008 of $676,679 which is included in accounts
payable. The restructuring of payment terms will be beneficial to us by aligning
the long term interest of the Company and OU as well as significantly help
in
conservation of cash.
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 burn rate from
$267,000 per month to an amount between $180,000 to $195,000 per
month.
We
also
intend to raise additional funds as permitted by the terms of Golden Gate
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, 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.

Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
The
following are summaries of recent accounting pronouncements that are relevant
to
the Company:
In
September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value
Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). This Statement defines fair value, establishes a
framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal
years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those
fiscal years except for certain nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities
for which the effective date has been deferred by one year in accordance with
FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) FAS 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement
No. 157” (“FSP FAS 157-2”). Also in February 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS
157-1, “Application of FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement No. 13
and Other Accounting Pronouncements That Address Fair Value Measurements for
Purposes of Lease Classification or Measurement under Statement 13” (“FSP FAS
157-1”). FSP FAS 157-1 amends SFAS No. 157, to exclude SFAS No. 13,
“Accounting for Leases”, and other accounting pronouncements that address fair
value measurements for purposes of lease classification or measurement under
SFAS No. 13. FSP FAS 157-1 is effective with the initial adoption of SFAS
157. The adoption of SFAS 157 did not have a material effect on the financial
statements.
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 begins January 1, 2008. The adoption of
SFAS 159 did not have a material effect on the financial statements.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business
Combinations” (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R will significantly change the accounting
for business combinations in a number of areas including the treatment of
contingent consideration, contingencies, acquisition costs, and restructuring
costs. In addition, under SFAS 141R, changes in deferred tax asset valuation
allowances and acquired income tax uncertainties in a business combination
after
the measurement period will affect income tax expense. SFAS 141R is effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of this
statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial
statements.
In
December 2007, FASB issued SFAS
No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements —
an Amendment of ARB No. 51”.
This
statement amends ARB
51
to
establish accounting and reporting standards for the Noncontrolling interest
in
a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. This statement is
effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years,
beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. We
do not have such subsidiaries therefore the adoption of the provisions of
SFAS
No. 160
will not
affect our results of operations or financial position.
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. Management is currently assessing the potential impact that the
adoption of SFAS 161 could have on our financial statements.
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.
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 60days 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
Principles.
The
adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the
Company’s financial statements.

4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
Under
the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our
President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, 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 Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer 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.
Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
During
the most recent quarter ended June 30, 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.
