3Dicon CORPORATION
(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(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 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 September 30, 2011, and the statements of its operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, and the period from inception (January 1, 2001) to September 30, 2011, and cash flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, and the period from inception (January 1, 2001) to September 30, 2011, 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”) 985-605, “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.
Grant revenue is recognized when earned.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Based on management's assessment no new accounting standards, if adopted, would have a material impact on the accompanying financial statements.
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.
The Company has realized a cumulative net loss of $15,567,018 for the period from inception (January 1, 2001) to September 30, 2011, and a net loss of $1,466,367 and $1,192,619 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
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, grants and investor funding. Under the terms of the Golden State debentures, as further described in Note 4, 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 December 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 ten 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% Convertible Debenture (“the Beneficial Ownership Limitations”). The Beneficial Ownership Limitations prevent Golden State from converting on the 4.75% Convertible 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 September 30, 2011 and ignoring the impact of the Beneficial Ownership Limitations, the Company may receive up to $981,000 in funding from Golden State as a result of warrant exercises during the remainder of the year ended December 31, 2011. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company received $753,382 in funding under the terms of the 4.75% Convertible Debenture (see Note 4).
F-6
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 $110,122 of grant funds to be provided through the end of the grant period, February 28, 2012. (see Note 3)
Additionally, the Company is continuing to pursue financing through private offerings of debt or common stock.

The final payment of $226,792, due on July 15, 2006, was not paid. On November 1, 2006 the SRA 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, 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 $352,051 in four equal monthly installments of $88,013 beginning on December 31, 2006 through March 31, 2007.
F-7
On February 23, 2007, the Company entered into a SRA with the University ("Phase III") which expired on March 31, 2010. Under this agreement, the University conducted a research project entitled "3-Dimensional Display Development". The Company agreed to 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 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 were 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 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 did not provide for any additional payments, the remaining balance would be $290,000, which OU agreed to accept 4,264,707 shares of 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. The Company had 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 occurred after September 30, 2009.
On February 19, 2010, OU agreed to modify the repayment plan to retire the remaining arrearages outstanding 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. The first quarterly payment was due to the University on April 30, 2010. These repayment terms were to remain in effect until the outstanding debt was retired.
On December 1, 2010, the Company entered into an agreement (the "Agreement") with OU pursuant to which OU agreed to convert all sums due to it from the Company in connection with its SRA with the Company, which as of December 1, 2010 amounted to approximately $485,000, into an aggregate of 59,000,000 shares ("OU 3DIcon Equity") of the Company's common stock (the "Shares"). As a result of the debt conversion, OU became the holder of approximately 8% of the common stock of the Company outstanding at December 1, 2010. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Shares are subject to a put option allowing OU to require the Company to purchase certain of the Shares upon the occurrence of certain events. In addition, the Shares are subject to a call option allowing the Company to require OU to sell to the Company the Shares then held by OU in accordance with the terms of the Agreement as follows:
OU Put Right - If, at any time during the one-year period beginning on the second anniversary of the Effective Date (the "OU Put 1 Period"), the sum of: (a) the value [stock price times number of shares] of the OU 3DIcon Equity held by OU at such time, plus (b) the proceeds (if any) of prior sales by OU of the OU 3DIcon Equity is less than $100,000, OU shall have the right to put (require 3DIcon or, at 3DIcon's option, another buyer, to redeem or purchase) one tenth (1/10) of the shares described herein for $50,000 plus 7% thereon annually from the Effective Date, less the amount (if any) of proceeds from the sale by OU of OU 3DIcon Equity (the "OU Put 1 Right"). If at any time during the one-year period beginning on the third anniversary of the Effective Date (the "OU Put 2 Period"), the sum of: (a) the value [stock price times number of shares] of the OU 3DIcon Equity held by OU at such time, plus (b) the proceeds (if any) of prior sales by OU of the OU 3DIcon Equity, including those put according to OU Put 1 Right and if such put occurred, is less than $970,000, OU shall have the right to put (require 3DIcon or, at 3DIcon's option, another buyer, to redeem) the shares for $485,000 plus 7% thereon annually from the Effective Date, less the amount (if any) of proceeds from the sale by OU of OU 3DIcon Equity (the "OU Put 2 Right"). The OU Put 2 right will be exercisable at any time during the OU Put 2 Period in which the trading price for 3DIcon stock has remained at or less than a trading price such that the sum of the amounts specified in clauses (a) and (b) above is exceeded by $970,000 less the proceeds of sales (if any) by OU of OU 3DIcon Equity for (i) ten consecutive trading days or (ii) twenty of thirty consecutive trading days. If OU puts the stock to 3DIcon as outlined above and OU does not receive the amount due within a 90-day period following a notification period, 3DIcon would be in default under any and all of the OU-3DIcon Agreements.
3DIcon Call Right - At any time during the one-year period following the third anniversary of the Effective Date, 3DIcon shall have the right to call (require OU to sell to 3DIcon) the OU 3DIcon Equity then held by OU for an amount equal to $970,000 less the amount (if any) of the proceeds of prior sales by OU of the OU 3DIcon Equity (the "3DIcon Call Right"). Provided, however, OU shall not be required to pay 3DIcon any amounts it receives as a result of prior sales of the 3DIcon Equity. In the event that 3DIcon elects to exercise the 3DIcon Call Right, 3DIcon will provide OU's Norman Campus Vice-President for Research, General Counsel, and Vice-President for Technology Development with a one hundred twenty day written notice of such intent. Any sales by OU of OU 3DIcon Equity shares during such one hundred twenty day period will not be subject to the 3DIcon Call Right.
The Company has presented the shares outside of stockholders’ deficiency in the mezzanine section of the balance sheets, as the Agreement includes put rights, which are not solely within the control of the Company.
The Agreement also amended the existing agreements between the Company and OU such that all intellectual property, including all inventions and or discoveries, patentable or un-patentable, developed before July 28, 2008 by OU under the SRA is owned by OU. All intellectual property, including all inventions and/or discoveries, patentable or un-patentable, developed jointly by the Company and OU at any time is jointly owned by the Company and OU. Finally, all intellectual property developed by the Company after July 28, 2008, including all inventions and or discoveries, patentable or un-patentable, is owned by the Company.

6.25% Convertible Debenture due December 31, 2011
On November 21, 2007, the Company issued and sold a convertible note in the principal amount of $1,250,000 (the “Debenture”) to Golden State Equity Investors, Inc. f/k/a Golden Gate Investors (“Golden Gate”). 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 4.25 million shares issuable on the Debenture based on 2007 market prices and assuming full conversion of the convertible debenture. The registration statement became effective on January 4, 2008.
Golden State advanced $125,000 on the $1.25 million Debenture on November 9, 2007 and $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 September 30, 2011, Golden State has funded an aggregate of $871,213 on the 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 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. At various dates during 2010, $274,438 of the Debenture was converted into 93,196,578 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $0.0027 to $0.004 based on the formula in the convertible debenture. Shares totaling 6,093,396 were issued in payment of $17,062 of accrued interest during 2010. At various dates during 2011, $120,000 of the Debenture was converted into 9,124,055 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $0.006 to $0.017 based on the formula in the convertible debenture. Additionally $12,669 of accrued interest due through March 15, 2011 was added to the debenture balance during the nine month period ended September 30, 2011. The 4,310,446 shares remaining in escrow and reported as outstanding at December 31, 2010 were cancelled in the first quarter of 2011.
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.
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 September 30, 2011. 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 November 3, 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 $4,752 of the $100,000 debenture into 162,454,399 shares of common stock, exercised warrants to purchase 47,523 shares of common stock at $10.90 per share and advanced $251,489 against future exercises of warrants of which $300,000 was applied to the exercise of warrants leaving $-0- of unapplied advances at December 31, 2010. During 2011, Golden State converted $5,400 of the $100,000 debenture into 38,615,468 shares of common stock, exercised warrants to purchase 54,000 shares of common stock at $10.90 per share and applied $3,382 of accrued interest and advanced $750,000 against future exercises of warrants of which $588,589 was applied to the exercise of warrants leaving $164,782 of unapplied advances at September 30, 2011.
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 Debentures
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 interest rate on the debenture increased to 13% during 2009 due to the Company not making payments when due.
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.

In particular, the statements herein regarding industry prospects and future results of operations or financial position are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “believes,” “estimates,” “could,” “possibly,” “probably,” anticipates,” “projects,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” or “should” or other variations or similar words. No assurances can be given that the future results anticipated by the forward-looking statements will be achieved. Forward-looking statements reflect management’s current expectations and are inherently uncertain. Our actual results may differ significantly from management’s expectations.
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our financial statements, included herewith. This discussion should not be construed to imply that the results discussed herein will necessarily continue into the future, or that any conclusion reached herein will necessarily be indicative of actual operating results in the future. Such discussion represents only the best present assessment of our management.
Plan of Operation
Background:
The Company is engaged in the development of 360° 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 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 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 our staff and the University, to which the Company 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, had a start date of January 1, 2009. The Company received approval for our no cost extension request for the first year of the contract. With the first modification, the first year ended on August 31, 2010. The award was for a maximum of $149,940 for 2009 and the remainder for 2011. The Company earned $80,323 and $51,672 from the grant during the periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, and $211,824 from inception to date. The Company received approval for our no cost extension request for the second year of the contract. With the new modification, the second year ends on February 28, 2012.
Current Activities and Operations
The Company is developing the CSpace 3D volumetric display technology, specifically the Trade-Show Prototype (“TSP”), through the Sponsored Research Agreement (the “SRA”) with the University of Oklahoma and development contracts with Advanced Optical Technologies, Inc. (“AOT”) of Albuquerque, NM. Dr. Brian Hoover, CEO of AOT, has been retained as 3DIcon VP of Technology Development, responsible for integration of technologies and resources in the development and commercialization of CSpace. From March 2011, the company has mobilized a team including an optical engineer, systems engineer, computer-graphics specialists, and consulting mechanical and design engineers (through Comet Solutions) to develop the TSP design, conduct computer-based modeling and simulation, design and construct a physical laser and materials testbed at the OU Tulsa laboratory, develop an online program-management system, find and qualify new facilities for TSP development, and help define commercialization paths. The primary objective for the remainder of 2011 and 2012 is to develop the TSP, which is a single-color CSpace display featuring an 8”x8”x4” liquid image volume enclosed in a 15” glass dome, continuously viewable over 360° and from the top in moderately-bright room lighting (satisfying the requirements of ISO 9241-303) without operational safety controls (e.g., goggles or stand-off barrier). The TSP is expected to be developed at new facilities in Albuquerque, NM.

Further, we are taking steps to explore areas that may be related to assist in the protection of intellectual property assets. In addition, we have begun the process of applying for trademarks related to our 3D technologies.
In May 2011 Dr. Hoover delivered a 30-page preliminary technical assessment of the CSpace technology. The primary purpose was to obtain an independent assessment on the feasibility of scaling the original CSpace architecture up to a trade-show prototype, and to suggest alternative CSpace components to increase feasibility where needed. The report first defined TSP requirements, proposed a preliminary TSP design, and laid out a systematic approach for meeting those requirements. Using preliminary photometric, thermal, and mechanical analyses, the report then assessed the feasibility of the original CSpace architecture to meet the TSP requirements, and suggested alternative architectural components to increase scaling feasibility. The assessment identified the following four improvements that could significantly enhance the feasibility of the TSP:
|
·
|
Increase material photoluminescent efficiency
|
|
·
|
Adapt rendering mode
|
|
·
|
Implement dome cooling
|
|
·
|
Reduce projector power loss
|
Activities were undertaken to develop these improvements in a risk-reduction phase beginning June 2011. The risk-reduction contract with AOT also addressed program-management and facility needs anticipating TSP development. Since relevant data on material photoluminescent efficiency is scarce, a laser and materials research testbed was designed and constructed at the OU Tulsa laboratory, and the existing set of solid and liquid materials was optically characterized. Specifications and sources of additional materials were also developed. A rendering study was undertaken, to demonstrate and quantify alternative rendering modes, employing an OU graduate student under the oversight of TAB member Dr. Pradeep Sen. Dome cooling studies were conducted via computer simulation by Comet Solutions, and alternative projector architectures were identified. A program-management system was established on the Clarizen online platform, and facilities, staffing needs, and budgets were developed for execution of the TSP development plan.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2011 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2010
Revenue
The Company earned $25,434 and $22,908 from the OCAST grant during the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
We did not have earned income from the sales of Pixel Precision™ for the three-months ended September 30, 2011 or September 30, 2010.
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 2011 to cover the operating expenses.
Research and Development Expenses
The research and development expenses were $212,291 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to $68,710 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was a result of the February and June 2011 agreements signed with Advanced Optical Technologies (“AOT”), $90,000, lab equipment purchased, $29,000, travel related to the AOT agreement, $6,000, and supplies of $5,400. These increases were for the costs of lab supplies and equipment and consultants for the CSpace®™ prototype development.
General and Administrative Expenses
Our general and administrative expenses were $331,856 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to $252,525 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase is due primarily to consultants, $59,000, auditing fees, $7,600, travel, $13,000, the salary of and options issued to the new CEO and management consultants of $59,000, less the $36,000 of salary to the previous CEO.
Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $2,314 as compared to $33,514 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The decrease was a result of the decrease in the amounts outstanding on our convertible debentures and the conversion of the Newton, O'Connor, Turner & Ketchum 13% Convertible Debentures to common stock.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2011 COMPARED TO THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2010
Revenue
The Company earned $80,323 from the OCAST grant during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to $51,672 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was due to additional expenditures under the grant.
There were sales of $3,000 of Pixel Precision™ during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to $-0- for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
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 to cover the operating expenses.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses were $534,737 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to $388,769 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The net increase was a result of an increase in expenses incurred for lab supplies and equipment $65,000 and consultants engaged amounting to $255,000 in 2011 and the decrease in the cost of vesting options to the Director of Technology in 2010 amounting to $168,000.
5
Our general and administrative expenses were $979,638 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to $793,358 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was the result of the increase in legal fees of $39,000, accounting and auditing fees of $20,000, public relations consultant of $17,000, cost incurred for the October shareholders’ meeting of $27,000, and the increase in cost related to the hiring of and options issued to the new CEO and consultants of approximately $149,000, less the cost of the retiring CEO of $108,000.
Interest Expense
Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $35,315 as compared to $66,464 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The change in interest expense resulted from decreases in the amounts outstanding on our convertible debentures 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:
|
·
|
Research and development expenses pursuant to our SRA with the University. This includes development of an initial demonstrable prototype and a second prototype for static volume technology.

|
Our independent registered public accountants, in their audit report accompanying our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010, 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 $252,587 at September 30, 2011.
We had negative working capital of $230,836 at September 30, 2011.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we used $883,516 of cash for operating activities, an increase of $623,324 or 240% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in the use of cash for operating activities was a result of the increase in the net loss of approximately $274,000, the increase in stock issued for interest of approximately $26,000 and a decrease in the change in accounts payable of approximately $349,000.
Cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was approximately $1,000 compared to $-0- for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
Cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $770,000, an increase of $509,000 or 194% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was the result of warrant exercise advances from Golden State and options exercised.
We expect to fund the ongoing operations through the existing financing in place (see below) and through raising additional funds as permitted by the terms of Golden State financing.
Our ability to fund the operations of the Company is highly dependent on the underlying stock price of the Company.
Pursuant to the 6.25% Convertible Debenture due in 2011,on November 21, 2007, the Company issued and sold a convertible note in the principal amount of $1,250,000 (the “Debenture”) to Golden State Equity Investors, Inc. f/k/a Golden Gate Investors (“Golden Gate”). 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 4.25 million shares issuable on the Debenture based on 2007 market prices and assuming full conversion of the convertible debenture. The registration statement became effective on January 4, 2008.
6
Golden State advanced $125,000 on the $1.25 million Debenture on November 9, 2007 and $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 September 30, 2011, Golden State has funded an aggregate of $871,213 on the 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 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. At various dates during 2010, $274,438 of the Debenture was converted into 93,196,578 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $0.0027 to $0.004 based on the formula in the convertible debenture. Shares totaling 6,093,396 were issued in payment of $17,062 of accrued interest during 2010. At various dates during 2011, $120,000 of the Debenture was converted into 9,124,055 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $0.006 to $0.017 based on the formula in the convertible debenture. Additionally $12,669 of accrued interest due through March 15, 2011 was added to the debenture balance during the nine month period ended September 30, 2011. The 4,310,446 shares remaining in escrow and reported as outstanding at December 31, 2010 were cancelled in the first quarter of 2011.
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 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 $4,752 of the $100,000 debenture into 162,454,399 shares of common stock, exercised warrants to purchase 47,523 shares of common stock at $10.90 per share and advanced $251,489 against future exercises of warrants of which $300,000 was applied to the exercise of warrants leaving $-0- of unapplied advances at December 31, 2010. During 2011, Golden State converted $5,400 of the $100,000 debenture into 38,615,468 shares of common stock, exercised warrants to purchase 54,000 shares of common stock at $10.90 per share and applied $3,382 of accrued interest and advanced $750,000 against future exercises of warrants of which $588,589 was applied to the exercise of warrants leaving $164,782 of unapplied advances at September 30, 2011.
The Oklahoma Center for the Advancement of Science and Technology 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, had a start date of January 1, 2009. We received approval for our no cost extension request for the first year of the contract. With the first modification, the first year ended on August 31, 2010. The award is for a maximum of $149,940 for 2009 and the remainder for 2011. The Company earned $80,323 and $51,672 from the grant during the nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, and $211,824 from inception to date. We received approval for our no cost extension request for the second year of the contract. With the new modification, the second year ends on February 28, 2012.
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 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. In the event funding did 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 payment on June 30, 2009. The Company had 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 occurred after September 30, 2009.
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. The Company complied with the agreed upon payment schedule and on December 1, 2010 the Company entered into an agreement with OU pursuant to which OU agreed to convert all sums due to it from the Company in connection with its SRA with the Company, which as of December 1, 2010 amounted to approximately $485,000, into an aggregate of 59,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock. As a result of the debt conversion, OU became the holder of approximately 8% of the outstanding common stock of the Company. Pursuant to the agreement, the shares are subject to a put option allowing OU to require the Company to purchase certain of the shares upon the occurrence of certain events. In addition, the shares are subject to a call option allowing the Company to require OU to sell to the Company the shares then held by OU in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company 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
The Company expenses all research and development costs as incurred. Until we have developed a commercial product, all costs incurred in connection with the SRA with the University, as well as all other research and development costs incurred, will be expensed as incurred. 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. Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") guidance on accounting for 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.
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 period ended September 30, 2011 and subsequent to September 30, 2011. On each of the occasions Golden State, by letter agreements, agreed that the occasions did not constitute a default and thereby waived the default provision for the occasions.
Common stock issued for services and liabilities
Subsequent to September 30, 2011 shares of common stock totaling 5,819,237 were issued for consulting services for which the Company recognized $61,352 of expense.

Item 4. 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 September 30, 2011, 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.
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
We are not a party to any pending legal proceeding, nor is our property the subject of a pending legal proceeding, that is not in the ordinary course of business or otherwise material to the financial condition of our business. None of our directors, officers or affiliates is involved in a proceeding adverse to our business or has a material interest adverse to our business.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
