NOTES TO
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Three
Months Ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 and period
From
Inception (January 1, 2001) to March 31, 2010
(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 yearend audited financial statements and related
footnotes included in the previously filed 10-K. 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 March 31, 2010, and
the statements of its operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010, 2009
and the period from inception (January 1, 2001) to March 31, 2010, and cash
flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, and the period
from inception (January 1, 2001) to March 31, 2010, 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
Revenues
from software license fees are accounted for in accordance with Accounting
Standards Codification (“ASC”) 985-650, “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) collectability is reasonably
assured.
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 has therefore been in default of the
Sponsored Research Agreement (“SRA”) (see Note 3). A revised payment
schedule was agreed to with the University of Oklahoma (“University”) in October
2008, March 2009, August 2009 and in February 2010. Failure of the Company
to meet its revised payment obligations could result in the termination of the
SRA and any outstanding license agreements under the SRA. The University
immediately and without notice or opportunity to cure, may terminate any or all
existing agreements between the parties, including but not limited to, the
Exclusive License Agreement, the Facilities/Resources Use Agreement, and the
SRAs. The termination of the license agreement with the University would
forfeit the Company’s rights to any or all intellectual property licensed to it
under the terminated license.
The
Company has realized a cumulative net loss of $12,894,751 for the period from
inception (January 1, 2001) to March, 2010, and a net loss of $1,566,835 and
$3,611,550 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008,
respectively.
9
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
$38,259, grants and investor funding. Under the terms of the Golden State
debentures, Golden State 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 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. 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 State from converting on the
4.75% Debenture or exercising warrants if such conversion or exercise would
cause Golden State’s holdings to exceed 9.99% of the Company’s issued and
outstanding common stock. Subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitations,
Golden State 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 March 31, 2010 and ignoring the
impact of the Beneficial Ownership Limitations, the Company may receive up to
$3,924,000 in funding from Golden State as a result of warrant exercises during
the year ended December 31, 2010.
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. There remains $254,583 of grant funds to
be provided during 2010 and 2011. (See note 4)
Additionally,
the Company is continuing to pursue financing through private offering of debt
or common stock.
Note
2 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The following are summaries of recent
accounting pronouncements that are relevant to the Company:
In June
2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued new guidance on
the accounting for transfers of financial assets. The new guidance requires
additional disclosures for transfers of financial assets, including
securitization transactions, and any continuing exposure to the risks related to
transferred financial assets. There is no longer a concept of a qualifying
special-purpose entity, and the requirements for derecognizing financial assets
have changed. The Company has adopted this new guidance as of January 1, 2010.
The adoption of this new guidance did not have any impact on its financial
statements.
In June
2009, the FASB issued new guidance on the accounting for variable interest
entities. The new guidance requires an enterprise to perform an analysis to
determine whether the enterprise's variable interest or interests give it a
controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity; to require ongoing
reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable
interest entity; to eliminate the quantitative approach previously required for
determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity; to add an
additional reconsideration event for determining whether an entity is a variable
interest entity when any changes in facts and circumstances occur such that
holders of the equity investment at risk, as a group, lose the power from voting
rights or similar rights of those investments to direct the activities of the
entity that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance; and to
require enhanced disclosures that will provide users of financial statements
with more transparent information about an enterprise's involvement in a
variable interest entity. The Company has adopted this new guidance as of
January 1, 2010. The adoption of this new guidance did not have any impact on
its financial statements.
In
January 2010, the FASB issued new guidance on improving disclosures about fair
value measurements. The new guidance does not change how fair values are
measured. The Company has adopted this new guidance as of January 1, 2010. The
adoption of this new guidance did not have any impact on its 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 (“University”), which expired October 19, 2004. 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 3-Dimensional Display
Technologies". The agreement was modified in November 2006 to provide
additional funding, and extended the term of the agreement through March 31,
2009.
On
February 23, 2007 the Company entered into a SRA with the University (Phase III)
which expired 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 agreed to pay the University $3,468,595 payable
in monthly installments ranging from $92,263 to $112,777 beginning April 30,
2007 and ending March 31, 2010, an aggregate commitment of
$4,047,439.
On
October 31, 2008 the University 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 included
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 would 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. Without additional
payments, the remaining balance was $290,000, which the University accepted
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 market value, but not less than $0.068 per share.
The
Company was unable to meet the revised payment schedule and on May 18, 2009 the
University agreed to revise the payment terms. Under the terms of the
revised base payments schedule, the arrearages scheduled to be paid in nine
monthly base installments from October 31, 2008 to June 30, 2009 of amounts
ranging from $35,000 to $101,132 were deferred to a monthly payment schedule of
July 2009 through February 2010.
On
February 19, 2010 The University agreed to modify the repayment plan to retire
the outstanding debt of $525,481. Under the terms of the modified repayment plan
the Company agreed to make payments to the University, not less than quarterly,
in an amount equal to 22.5% of any funding received by the Company. Eligible
funding shall include all revenues, investments in the Company, funding from
current sources or other funding, provided, however, that grants or other
similar funding with specific allocation to designated research and development
projects shall be excluded from such calculation. The quarterly payments shall
be made within thirty (30) days of the end of each calendar quarter. The first
quarterly payment is due to the University on April 30, 2010. The Company shall
provide its financial statements to the University upon completion and
submission to the SEC at the end of each quarter. These repayment terms shall
remain in effect until the outstanding debt is retired. The University has the
right at its sole discretion to request an independent audit of the Company’s
financial statement the cost of which shall be borne solely by the
Company.
Should
the Company fail to report revenue or fail to timely pay any of the quarterly
amounts owed above, the University immediately and without notice or opportunity
to cure, may terminate any or all existing agreements between the parties,
including but not limited to, the Exclusive License Agreement, the
Facilities/Resources Use Agreement, and the SRAs. The termination of the
license agreement with the University would forfeit the Company’s rights to any
or all intellectual property licensed to it under the terminated
license.
During
the periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company charged operations
$14,141 and $24,814, respectively, pursuant to the SRA. At March 31, 2010,
the Company owed the University $5,626 in aggregate monthly payments and
$525,481 on the arrearages under the revised payment terms.

Note
4 – OCAST Grant
The
Oklahoma Center for the Advancement of Science and Technology approved the
Company’s 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, had a start date of January 1, 2009. The award is
for a maximum of $149,940 for 2009 and the remainder for 2010. The Company
received $10,278 and $-0- from the grant during the periods ended March 31, 2010
and 2009. The Company received approval for our no cost extension request
for the first year of the contract. With the new modification, the first year
ends on April 30, 2010. Funding beyond April 30, 2010 is contingent upon
satisfactory performance evaluation and the availability of funds.

Convertible Debenture due 2010
On
November 21, 2007, the Company issued and sold a convertible note in the
principal amount of $1,250,000 to Golden State (the “Debenture”). Pursuant
to the terms of the Debenture, Golden State may, at its election, convert all or
a part of the 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 State’s election to convert, subject to adjustment as provided
in the Debenture. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Debenture, the
Company agreed to file a registration statement covering the shares of common
stock issuable upon conversion or redemption of the Debenture. The Company
filed a registration statement covering the shares to be issued upon conversion
of the Debenture. Included in the registration statement were 2.25 million
shares issuable upon conversion of the balance of a previous Golden State
debenture and 4.25 million shares issuable on this Debenture based on 2007
market prices and assuming full conversion of the convertible debentures.
The registration statement became effective on January 4, 2008.
Golden
State advanced $125,000 on the $1.25 million Debenture on November 9, 2007and
$746,213 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 March
31, 2010, Golden State has funded an aggregate of $871,213 on the Second
Debenture. Golden State will be obligated to fund the Company for the remaining
$378,787 in principal on the Debenture upon the effectiveness of a registration
statement underlying the remaining unfunded principal balance on the Debenture.
At this time, the Company has not filed a registration statement. 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. At various dates during 2009,
$115,043, of the Debenture was converted into 12,124,828 shares of common stock
at prices ranging from $0.007 to $0.01 based on the formula in the convertible
debenture. There was no debenture conversions during the three- month period
ended March 31, 2010. Shares remaining in escrow and reported as
outstanding at March 31, 2010 total 4,310,449.
The
conversion price for the $1.25 million Debenture is the lesser of (i) $2.00 or
(ii) 90% of the average of the five lowest volume weighted average prices during
the twenty (20) trading days prior to the conversion. If Golden State
elects to convert a portion of the debenture and, on the day that the election
is made, the volume weighted average price is below $0.75, the Company shall
have the right to prepay that portion of the debenture that Golden State elected
to convert, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, at 135% of such
amount.
The
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 State
shall have the right to immediately sell the pledged shares in satisfaction of
any amounts of principal and interest owing under the Second
Debenture.
12
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 trading price was at $0.21 or lower on several occasions during
and subsequent to the period ended March 31, 2010. 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 those
occasions only. (See Note 10 -Subsequent Events)
4.75%
Convertible Debenture due 2011
On
November 3, 2006, the Company also issued to Golden State 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 2009, Golden State converted $3,510 of the $100,000
debenture into 35,622,803 shares of common stock, exercised warrants to purchase
35,100 shares of common stock at $10.90 per share and the Company received
$382,590 from the exercise of the warrants. During 2009 Golden State
advanced $240,000 against future exercises of warrants and applied $4,181 of
accrued interest due on the debenture to the advance account of which $336,170
was applied to the exercise of warrants leaving $48,511 of unapplied advances at
December 31, 2009. During 2010, Golden State converted $1,200 of the
$100,000 debenture into 35,201,188 shares of common stock, exercised warrants to
purchase 12,000 shares of common stock at $10.90 per share and advanced $150,000
against future exercises of warrants of which $130,800 was applied to the
exercise of warrants leaving $67,711 of unapplied advances at March 31,
2010.
The
conversion price for the 4.75% $100,000 convertible debenture is the lesser of
(i) $4.00 or (ii) 80% of the average of the five lowest volume weighted average
prices during the twenty (20) trading days prior to the conversion. If
Golden State elects to convert a portion of the debenture and, on the day that
the election is made, the volume weighted average price is below $0.75, the
Company shall have the right to prepay that portion of the debenture that Golden
State elected to convert, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, at 135% of such
amount.
Newton,
O’Connor, Turner & Ketchum 10% convertible debenture due March 31,
2010
On May
22, 2009, the Company issued to Newton, O’Connor, Turner & Ketchum, a
professional corporation (“NOTK”) and the legal counsel to the Company through
2008, a 10% convertible debenture in a principal amount of $100,703, due
September 30, 2009, and warrants to purchase 4,378,394 shares of the common
stock at an exercise price of $0.09 per share through September 30, 2010 and an
exercise price of $0.18 per share through September 30, 2014. The Company
was indebted to NOTK for legal services performed for the Company and
reimbursement of expenses in rendition of those services for the period ended
December 31, 2008. The debenture and the warrants were issued in settlement of
the indebtedness. The debentures and warrants were recorded at their pro
rata fair values in relation to the proceeds received. The warrants were
valued at $13,504. The difference between the pro rata fair value and face value
of the debenture was charged to operations in 2009.
The
estimated fair value of the warrants 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
160.73% 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 2.23% is based on the U.S. Treasury Constant
Maturity rates as of the grant date. The expected life of the warrant of two
years is based on historical exercise behavior and expected future
experience.
On March
1, 2010, Newton, O'Connor, Turner & Ketchum agreed to extend the due date of
their 10% debenture to March 31, 2010 in consideration for one million
(1,000,000) shares of common stock. The shares, which are yet to be
issued, will be valued at 50% of the average of the previous five day closing
price on March 1, 2010, which was $0.003 per share totaling $3,000.
Note 6 – Common Stock and Paid-In
Capital
Pursuant
to a special meeting of the stockholders held on August 21, 2009, the
stockholders approved the filing of an amendment to the Company’s Articles of
Incorporation to increase the Company’s authorized shares of common stock from
250,000,000 shares, par value $0.0002, to 750,000,000 shares, par value
$0.0002.
Pursuant
to Subscription Agreements entered into during March and April 2009, the Company
sold 999,999 shares of the Company’s common stock at a per share price of $.03
per share and warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of its common stock at a price
of $.10 per share from closing for a period of twelve months; $.15 per share for
the second subsequent twelve months or; $0.20 per share for the subsequent
twelve months to three accredited individuals. The Company received $30,000 in
cash from the sale. The 500,000 warrants are valued at $6,579 and the
999,999 shares are valued at $23,421. The warrants terminate three years
from date of issue in 2012.
13
The
estimated fair value of the warrants 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 178%
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 1.38% 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.
On June
18, 2009 the Company entered into Subscription Agreements with two of its
directors pursuant to which the two directors purchased 17,941,176 shares of the
Company’s common stock at a price per share equal to 50% of the average closing
price during the five days prior to June 18, 2009 (0.0068 per share) for
aggregate proceeds of $122,000.
Pursuant
to Subscription Agreements entered into during October and November 2009, the
Company sold 1,666,666 shares of the Company’s common stock at a per share price

at a price of $.10 per share from closing for a period of twelve months; $.25
per share for the second subsequent twelve months and; $0.50 per share for the
third subsequent twelve months to two accredited individuals. The Company
received $50,000 in cash from the sale. The 16,666,666 warrants are valued
at $35,225 and the 1,666,666 shares are valued at $14,775. The warrants
terminate three years from date of issue in 2012.
The
estimated fair 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 178%
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 1.38% 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.

Plan
of Operation
Background:
The
Company is engaged in the development of 360o
volumetric imaging and display technology, specifically in the areas identified
by the initial in-depth investigation conducted by the 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 our staff
and the University, to which 3DIcon will have exclusive rights.
The
research team at the University and our Chief Technology Officer have 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 our staff and the University, 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.
The
Oklahoma Center for the Advancement of Science and Technology approved the
Company’s 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. The Company
received $35,139 from the grant during 2009 and $10,278 during the first quarter
of 2010. We received approval for our no cost extension request for the
first year of the contract. With the new modification, the first year ends on
April 30, 2010. Funding beyond April 30, 2010 is contingent upon satisfactory
performance evaluation and the availability of funds.
17
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
and with Dr. Hakki Refai, the former chief researcher at the University, who
joined the Company as our Chief Technology Officer in October 2008. 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). 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 2.0 that was released on February 12, 2009 to expand its
capabilities and provide new compatibility with Texas Instrument’s newly
released DLP® Discovery 4000 kits. 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

RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2010 COMPARED TO THE THREE
MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2009
Revenue
The
Company received $10,278 from the OCAST grant during the three months ended
March 31, 2010.
19
We have
launched our first software product PixelPrecision™. We appointed Digital Light
Innovations for the sales and distribution of this product in March 2008.
There were no sales of PixelPrecision™ during the three months ended March
31, 2010 or 2009.
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 and administrative, research and development,
interest) but do not expect the revenue generated in 2010 to cover the operating
expenses.
Research
and Development Expenses
Research
and development expenses were $73,969 for the three months ended March 31, 2010,
as compared to $108,902 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The
decrease was a result of the SRA being converted to a cost reimbursable basis
effective September 1, 2008 under the terms of the revised SRA agreement that
was signed October 31, 2008. Additionally, on October 1, 2008, we employed Dr.
Hakki Refai as Chief Technology Officer.
General
and Administrative Expenses
Our
general and administrative expenses were $233,455 for the three months ended
March 31, 2010 as compared to $373,235 for the three months ended March 31,
2009. The decrease was mainly due to the termination of consultant
contracts in February 2009 ($10,000), the resignation of the previous President
of the Company in March 2009 ($65,000), the reduction in the current
compensation of our current President ($25,000), a reduction is legal services
performed ($15,000), a reduction in patent expenses ($11,000), and a reduction
in travel and lodging of approximately $2,000 in 2009.
Interest
Expense
Interest
expense for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $20,691 as compared to
$20,601 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, respectively. The change in
interest expense resulted from decreases in the amounts outstanding on our
convertible debentures and increased finance charges on accounts payable
outstanding during the periods.
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:

Our
independent registered public accountants, in their audit report accompanying
our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009, 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 $38,259 at March 31, 2010.
We had
negative working capital of $1,756,332 at March 31, 2010.
20
During
the three months ended March 31, 2010, we used $112,859 of cash for operating
activities, an increase of $42,089 or 59% compared to the three months
ended March 31, 2009. The increase in the use of cash for operating activities
was a result of a reduction in the stock issued for services.
We did
not use cash in investing activities during the three months ended March 31,
2010 and 2009.
Cash
provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2010
was $150,000, an increase of $103,200 or 221% compared to the three months ended
March 31, 2009. The increase was the result of the increased debenture
conversions and related warrant exercise in 2010.
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 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
currently 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 tentimes 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 three months ended March 31, 2010, Golden State
converted $1,200 of the $100,000 debenture into 35,201,188 shares of common
stock, exercised warrants to purchase 12,000 shares of common stock at $10.90
per share and advanced $150,000 against future exercises of warrants of which
$130,800 was applied to the exercise of warrants leaving $67,711 of unapplied
advances at March 31, 2010.
On
November 19, 2008, we received a research grant from OCAST titled the "800
Million Voxels Volumetric Display." The two-year matching grant totals
$299,932. The award is for a maximum of $149,940 for the calendar year
2009 and the remainder for calendar year 2010. Funding of the 2009 amount
is contingent upon the Company providing matching funds for the first year’s
research and submission of all required documentation to OCAST. We
received approval for our no cost extension request for the first year of the
contract. With the new modification, the first year ends on April 30,
2010. We received $10,278 in funding during the period ended March 31,
2010. Funding beyond 2010 is contingent upon satisfactory performance
evaluation and the availability of funds.
The
Company was unable to meets it monthly payment obligations under the SRA and
received notification from the University that they were in default. A new
payment schedule was negotiated. Failure of the Company to meet its
payment obligations under the new payments schedule could result in the
termination of the SRA, termination of the related projects and termination of
any outstanding license agreements under the SRA.
On
October 31, 2008 the University 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 would 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 $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 the University 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 market value, but not
less than $0.068 per share.
21
The
Company was unable to meet the revised payment schedule and on May 18, 2009 the
University agreed to revise the payment terms. Under the terms of the
revised base payments schedule, the arrearages scheduled to be paid in nine
monthly base installments from October 31, 2008 to June 30, 2009 of amounts
ranging from $35,000 to $101,132 were deferred to a monthly payment schedule of
July 2009 through February 2010. On February 19, 2010 the University
agreed to modify the repayment plan to retire the outstanding debt of
$525,481. Under the terms of the modified repayment plan the Company
agreed to make payments to the University, not less than quarterly, in an amount
equal to 22.5% of any funding received by the Company. Eligible funding
shall include all revenues, investments in the Company, funding from current
sources or other funding, provided, however, that grants or other similar
funding with specific allocation to designated research and development projects
shall be excluded from such calculation. The quarterly payments shall be made
within thirty (30) days of the end of each calendar quarter. The first
quarterly payment is due to the University on April 30, 2010. The Company
shall provide its financial statements to the University upon completion and
submission to the SEC at the end of each quarter. These repayment terms shall
remain in effect until the outstanding debt is retired. The University has the
right at its sole discretion to request an independent audit of the Company’s
financial statement the cost of which shall be borne solely by the
Company.
In
addition management 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. This, along with other
measures, has reduced our current cash flow burn rate from $267,000 per month to
an estimated amount of $130,000 to $150,000 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
Accounting
Standards Codification (“ACS”) No. 730, “Research and Development,”
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. ACS No. 718
“Compensation- Stock
Compensation” 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.
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 three
months ended March 31, 2010. 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.
During
the three months ended March 31, 2010, Golden State converted $1,200 of the
$100,000 debenture into 35,201,188 shares of common stock, exercised warrants to
purchase 12,000 shares of common stock at $10.90 per share and advanced $150,000
against future exercises of warrants of which $130,800 was applied to the
exercise of warrants leaving $67,711 of unapplied advances at March 31,
2010. During the
three months ended March 31, 2010,

4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls
and Procedures. Under the supervision and with the participation of our
management, including our 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 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
March 31, 2010, 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.
