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, 2012, and the statements of its operations for the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, and the period from inception (January 1, 2001) to September 30, 2012, and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, and the period from inception (January 1, 2001) to September 30, 2012, 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 $17,932,857 for the period from inception (January 1, 2001) to September 30, 2012, and a net loss of $1,511,737 and $1,466,367 for the nine-months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
F-6 |
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. Pursuant to the 4.75% Convertible Debenture due in December 2014, 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 or until the Debenture is converted in full. In connection with each conversion, Golden State is expected to simultaneously exercise a percentage of warrants equal to the percentage of the principal being converted. The warrants are exercisable at $381.50 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 and provided that Golden State is able to sell the shares under Rule 144, Golden State is required to convert $85.71 of the 4.75% Convertible Debenture and exercise 857 warrants per month. Based upon our current stock price, our issued and outstanding shares as of September 30, 2012 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, 2012. During the nine-months ended September 30, 2012, the Company received $688,831 in funding under the terms of the 4.75% Convertible Debenture (see Note 4).
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 $13,029 of grant funds to be provided. The Company applied for the remaining $13,029 of grant funds that were earned through the end of the grant period, August 31, 2012 (see Note 3).
On July 3, 2012, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the SEC for a public offering of our securities. The registration statement was amended on August 31, 2012. We expect further amendments to the registration statement, which amendment or amendments are expected to contain further details regarding the offering
Additionally, the Company is continuing to pursue financing through private offerings of debt or common stock.
Note 2 – Sponsored Research Agreement ("SRA") Common Stock Subject to Put Right and Call Right
Since April 20, 2002, the Company has entered into a number of Sponsored Research Agreements with the University of Oklahoma (“OU”) as follows:
Phase I: “Pilot Study to Investigate Digital Holography”, April 20, 2004. The Company paid OU $14,116.
Phase II: “Investigation of 3-Dimensional Display Technologies”, April 15, 2005, as amended. The Company paid OU $528,843.
Phase III: “3-Dimensional Display Development”. The Company made partial payment to OU by issuing 121,848 post-split equivalent shares with a market price of $290,000 on October 14, 2008 and final payment on December 1, 2010 in the amount of $525,481 of which $40,481 was in cash and 1,685,714 post-split equivalent shares of Company stock (the “Shares”). The Shares are subject to an OU ‘put’ right and a 3DIcon ‘call’ right.
OU “Put” Right on the Shares
First “put” period: December 1, 2012 to November 31, 2013. If the Shares (held plus previously sold) are valued at less than $100,000 then OU can “put” one-tenth of the Shares for $50,000 plus accrued interest retroactive to December 1, 2012 less the value of sold shares.
F-7 |
Second “put” period: December 1, 2013 to November 31, 2014. If the Shares (held & previously sold) are valued at less than $970,000 then OU can “put” the remaining Shares for $485,000 plus accrued interest retroactive to December 1, 2012 less the value of shares previously sold or redeemed during the first “put”.
3DIcon “Call” Right on the Shares
Commencing December 1, 2012, the Company shall have the right to “call” the Shares for an amount equal to $970,000 less the amount (if any) of prior Shares by OU including amounts “put” to 3DIcon.
The Company has presented the Shares outside of deficit in the mezzanine section of the balance sheets, as the Agreement includes a put right, which is 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.
Note 3 – 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 $299,984, 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 new 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 received approval for our no cost extension request for the second year of the contract and, with the new modification, the second year ended on August 31, 2012. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, the Company applied for the remaining $13,029 of grant funds that were earned through the end of the grant period, August 31, 2012.
During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company charged operations $12,071 and $25,897, respectively, pursuant to the direct costs incurred and for the use of the OU lab facilities in regard to the OCAST grant.

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 estimated number of shares to be issued upon conversion of the Debenture. Included in the registration statement were 4.25 million pre-split 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.

At various dates during 2011, $157,331 of the Debenture was converted into 16,156,404 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $0.0059 to $0.0174 based on the formula in the convertible debenture. Additionally $12,669 was added to the principle balance of the debenture in payment of accrued interest during 2011. On August 16, 2012, accrued interest due to date of $2,047 was added to the debenture and the full balance of the Debenture totaling $33,845 was converted into 307,844 shares of common stock at a price of $0.11 based on the formula in the convertible debenture.
4.75% Convertible Debenture due November 3, 2014
On November 3, 2006, the Company also issued to Golden State a 4.75% convertible debenture in a principal amount of $100,000, due 2014, and warrants to buy 1,000,000 shares of the common stock at an exercise price of $10.90 per share. In connection with each conversion, Golden State is expected to simultaneously exercise a percentage of warrants equal to the percentage of the principal being converted. During 2011, Golden State converted $6,760 of the $100,000 debenture into 60,601,868, shares of common stock, exercised warrants to purchase 67,600 shares of common stock at $10.90 per share based on the formula in the convertible debenture. Additionally Golden State advanced $753,381 against future exercises of warrants of which $736,840 was applied to the exercise of warrants leaving $16,542 of unapplied advances at December 31, 2011. During 2012, Golden State converted $6,471 of the $100,000 debenture into 5,809,601 post-split shares of common stock, exercised warrants to purchase 1,850 post-split shares of common stock at $381.50 per share based on the formula in the convertible debenture. Additionally Golden Gate advanced $688,831 against future exercises of warrants of which $705,372 was applied to the exercise of warrants leaving $1.00 of unapplied advances at September 30, 2012.
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.

5% Convertible Promissory Note
On June 6, 2012, the Company issued and sold a convertible promissory note (the "Note") in the principal amount of $275,000 to JMJ Financial (“JMJ”). The Note includes a $25,000 original issue discount (the “OID”) that will be prorated based on the advances actually paid to the Company. JMJ advanced $50,000 upon execution of the Note and collected $4,000 OID. Pursuant to the terms of the Note, JMJ may, at its election, convert all or a part of the Note into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion rate equal to the lesser of (i) $0.35 or (ii) 70% of the lowest trade price during the twenty-five trading days prior to JMJ’s election to convert. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Note, the Company agreed to include on the next registration statement filed by the Company with the SEC all shares issuable upon conversion of the Note. Failure to do so will result in liquidated damages of 25% of the outstanding principal balance of the Note. If the Company repays the Note on or before ninety days from the date it was issued, the interest rate will be zero percent. If the Company does not repay the Note on or before ninety days from the date it was issued, a one-time interest charge of 5% shall be applied to the principal sum of $275,000. The principal of the Note is due one year from the date of each of the principal amounts advanced.
5% Convertible Promissory Note #2
On August 1, 2012, the Company issued and sold a convertible promissory note #2 (the “Note #2") in the principal amount of $140,000 to JMJ. The Note #2 includes a $15,000 OID that will be prorated based on the advances actually paid to the Company. JMJ advanced $75,000 on the Note #2 and collected $9,000 OID. In addition to the OID, the Note #2 provides for a one-time interest charge of 5% to be applied to the principal sum advanced. Pursuant to the terms of Note #2, JMJ may, at its election, convert all or a part of the Note #2 into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion rate equal to the lesser of (i) $0.15 or (ii) 70% of the lowest trade price during the twenty-five trading days prior to JMJ’s election to convert. In addition the Company agreed to include on the next registration statement filed by the Company with the SEC, all shares issuable upon conversion of Note #2. Failure to do so will result in liquidated damages of 25% of the outstanding principal balance of Note #2. The principal of the Note #2 is due one year from the date of each of the principal amounts advanced.
The Notes are subject to a Mandatory Registration Agreement (the “Agreement”) whereby no later than August 31, 2012, the Company agreed to file, at its own expense, an amendment to the S-1 Registration Statement the Company filed with the SEC on July 3, 2012, to include in such Registration Statement 4,750,000 shares of common stock issuable under the Notes, (the Note and Note #2) as set forth below. The Company will thereafter use its best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective as soon as possible after such filing but in no event later than one hundred and twenty (120) days from the date of this Agreement. Failure to have the Registration Statement declared effective within 120 days of the date of this Agreement will result in a penalty/liquidated damages of $25,000. Any such penalties/liquidated damages will be added to the balance of either the Note or the Note #2 at the Holder’s discretion (under the Holder’s and the Company’s expectation that those penalties/liquidated damages will tack back to the date of such Note for purposes of Rule 144).
15% Convertible Bridge Notes

On March 13, 2012, 3DIcon Corporation entered into a one (1) year Agreement for At-Will Employment with Assignment of Inventions (“Employment Agreement”) with Mark Willner, pursuant to which Mr. Willner began serving as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately.

The risk-free interest rate of 1.87% 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:
3DIcon Corporation was incorporated on August 11, 1995, under the laws of the State of Oklahoma as First Keating Corporation. Our articles of incorporation were amended August 1, 2003 to change the name to 3DIcon Corporation. The initial focus of First Keating Corporation was to market and distribute books written by its founder, Martin Keating. During 2001, First Keating Corporation began to focus on the development of 360-degree holographic technology. The effective date of this transition is January 1, 2001. We have accounted for this transition as reorganization and accordingly, restated its capital accounts as of January 1, 2001. At the inception on January 1, 2001, our primary activity was the raising of capital in order to pursue its goal of becoming a significant participant in the formation and commercialization of interactive, optical holography for the communications and entertainment industries.
In April 2004, we engaged the University of Oklahoma (the “University” or “OU”) to conduct a pilot study to determine the opportunity and feasibility for the creation of volumetric three dimensional display systems.
On July 15, 2005, we entered into a Sponsored Research Agreement (“SRA”) with the University, which expired on January 14, 2007. Under this agreement, the University conducted a research project entitled "Investigation of 3-Dimensional Display Technologies".
On February 23, 2007, we entered into an SRA with the University, which SRA expired on March 31, 2010. Under this agreement, the University conducted a research project entitled "3-Dimensional Display Development".
In the fourth quarter of 2007 we announced the release of our first product, "Pixel Precision". On February 12, 2009, version 2.0 of Pixel Precision was released to expand its capabilities and provide new compatibility with Texas Instrument's newly released DLP® Discovery 4000 kits. This is a companion software application to the DMD Discovery ™ line of products manufactured by Texas Instruments®.
The Oklahoma Center for the Advancement of Science and Technology (“OCAST”) approved 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 $299,984, 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 new 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 $63,668 and $80,323 from the grant during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively and $281,493 from inception to date. The Company received approval for our no cost extension request for the second year of the contract and, with the new modification, the second year ends on August 31, 2012. The Company applied for the remaining $13,029 of grant funds.

Overview of Business
We are a development stage company. Our mission is to acquire, develop and market full-color volumetric 3D display technology. Through a Sponsored Research Agreement with the University of Oklahoma, we have obtained the exclusive worldwide marketing rights to certain 3D display technologies previously under development by the University. The development to date has resulted in the University filing seven provisional patents; six of the seven provisional patents have been combined and converted to four utility patents. On May 26, 2009, the United States Patent and Trademark Office approved the pending patent called "Volumetric Liquid Crystal Display" for rendering a three-dimensional image and converted it to US patent No. 7,537,345. On December 28, 2010, USPTO approved the pending patent called “Light Surface Display for Rendering a Three-Dimensional Image,” and issued the United States Patent No. 7,858,913. This patent describes what we are calling our CSpace®™ technology. At this time, we do not own any intellectual property rights in these technologies, and, apart from the Sponsored Research Agreement with the University, have no contracts or agreements pending to acquire such rights or any other interest in such rights. We plan to market the technology and the intellectual property developed by the University and our staff by targeting various industries, such as retail, manufacturing, entertainment, medical, healthcare, transportation, homeland security and the military. On April 6, 2009, we filed a provisional patent on an emissive two-dimensional screen that is controlled and driven by a standard digital light projector or other optical input source. This provisional patent is called "Flexible/Inflexible Front/Back Projection screen or display" and owned solely by 3DIcon Corporation. Through the current agreement with the University of Oklahoma, OU filed a continuation patent application on November 19, 2010, called “3D Light Surface Display”. This application provides additional protections of our CSpace®™ technology.
Since March of 2012, the Company has been exploring the possibility of developing and marketing glasses-free flat screen 3D displays based on next generation glasses-free flat screen 3D display technology acquired or licensed from another company. This acquired technology and any resultant display products would be in addition to and complementary with our internally developed CSpace glasses-free volumetric 3D display technology. Recently, the Company has met with multiple glasses-free flat screen 3D display companies, is in discussion with several of these companies about a potential acquisition or partnership, and is engaged in non-binding discussions to acquire one of these companies. Currently, we do not have any agreements in place that would allow such entry into the flat screen segment of the glasses-free 3D display industry and no assurances can be made, if an acquisition or partnership is consummated, that the Company could successfully bring to market such technology.
Progress on Research and Development Activities
We own all worldwide rights to commercial and government usage of the intellectual property being developed by the University. The University and the Company have applied for the following patents with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office:

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2012 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2011
Revenue
The Company earned $-0- from the OCAST grant during the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $25,434 for the three months ended September 30, 2011.
In January 2008 we launched our first software product Pixel Precision™. We appointed Digital Light Innovations for the sales and distribution of this product in March 2008.
We did not have income from the sales of Pixel Precision™ for the three-months ended September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, respectively.
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 2012 to cover the operating expenses.
Research and Development Expenses
The research and development expenses were $127,759 for the three months ended September 30, 2012, as compared to $212,291 for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease was a result of the termination of the Advanced Optical Technology contract in December 2011.
General and Administrative Expenses
Our general and administrative expenses were $502,468 for the three months ended September 30, 2012, as compared to $331,856 for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The increase is primarily due to $159,000 in options issued to our Board of Directors and being fully vested in July 2012.
Interest Expense
Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was $35,887 as compared to $2,314 for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The net increase was a result of the issuance of bridge notes and the related amortization of the Original Issue Discount (”OID”) on the convertible bridge notes.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2012 COMPARED TO THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2011
Revenue
The Company received $63,669 from the OCAST grant during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to $80,323 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease was due to a reduction of expenditures under the matching grant.
There were sales of $-0- of PixelPrecision™ during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to $3,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.
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 $414,149 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, as compared to $534,737 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The net decrease was a result of the cost of vesting of options to the Director of Technology in 2011 amounting to $39,150 and a decrease in expenses incurred for lab supplies and equipment of $38,988, a decrease in payroll taxes from converting certain salaries to contract labor and consultants engaged amounting to $158,404 in 2012.
General and Administrative Expenses
Our general and administrative expenses were $1,120,660 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to $979,638 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The net increase was the result of the increase of $46,875 of options issued to the Board of Directors in 2012 and , approximately $100,000 increase in costs related to the hiring of and options issued to the new CEO, and consultants under the terms of their employments agreements.
Interest Expense
Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $40,597 as compared to $35,315 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The change in interest expense resulted from decreases in the amounts outstanding on our convertible debentures during the periods and the OID on promissory notes issued in 2012.
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. | |
· | Acceleration of research and development through increased research personnel as well as other research agencies. | |

Our independent registered public accountants, in their audit report accompanying our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011, 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 $35,537 at September 30, 2012.
We had negative working capital of $664,937 at September 30, 2012.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we used $1,046,260 of cash for operating activities, an increase of $162,744 or 18% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase in the use of cash for operating activities was a result of the reduction in accounts payable.
There was no cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and $998 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.
Cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $1,064,131, an increase of $294,131 or 38% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase was the result of the issuance of bridge notes of $375,300 and a decrease of $101,169 of warrant exercise advances from Golden State under the terms of our 4.75% convertible debenture.
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.
On November 3, 2006, the Company issued to Golden State a 4.75% convertible debenture in a principal amount of $100,000, due 2014, and warrants to buy 1,000,000 shares of the common stock at an exercise price of $10.90 per share. In connection with each conversion, Golden State is expected to simultaneously exercise a percentage of warrants equal to the percentage of the principal being converted. During 2011, Golden State converted $6,760 of the $100,000 debenture into 60,601,868, shares of common stock, exercised warrants to purchase 67,600 shares of common stock at $10.90 per share based on the formula in the convertible debenture. Additionally Golden Gate advanced $753,381 against future exercises of warrants of which $736,840 was applied to the exercise of warrants leaving $16,542 of unapplied advances at December 31, 2011. During 2012, Golden State converted $6,471 of the $100,000 debenture into 5,809,601 post-split shares of common stock, exercised warrants to purchase 1,850 post-split shares of common stock at $381.50 per share based on the formula in the convertible debenture. Additionally Golden Gate advanced $688,831 against future exercises of warrants of which $705,372 was applied to the exercise of warrants leaving $1.00 of unapplied advances at September 30, 2012.
OCAST 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 $299,984, 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 new 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 $63,669 and $80,323 from the grant during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively and $281,493 from inception to date. The Company received approval for our no cost extension request for the second year of the contract and, with the new modification, the second year ends on August 31, 2012. The Company applied for the remaining grant funds of $13,029 during this period.

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.
On June 6, 2012, the Company issued and sold a convertible promissory note (the "Note #1") in the principal amount of $275,000 to JMJ Financial (“JMJ”). The Note included a $25,000 OID that will be prorated based on the advances actually paid to the Company. JMJ advanced $50,000 upon execution of the Note and collected $4,000 OID. Pursuant to the terms of the JMJ Note #1, JMJ may, at its election, convert all or a part of the Note #1 into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion rate equal to the lesser of (i) $0.35 or (ii) 70% of the lowest trade price during the twenty-five trading days prior to JMJ’s election to convert.
On August 1, 2012, the Company issued and sold a convertible promissory note #2 (the “Note #2") in the principal amount of $140,000 to JMJ. JMJ advanced $75,000 to the Company and collected a $9,000 OID. In addition to the OID, the Note #2 provides for a one-time interest charge of 5% shall be applied to the principal sum advanced. Pursuant to the terms of Note #2, JMJ may, at its election, convert all or a part of the Note #2 into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion rate equal to the lesser of (i) $0.15 or (ii) 70% of the lowest trade price during the twenty-five trading days prior to JMJ’s election to convert. The principal of the Note #2 is due one year from the date of each of the principal amounts advanced.
On August 24, 2012, August 28, 2012 and September 10, 2012, the Company issued and sold to accredited investors Convertible Bridge Notes (the “Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $438,000. The note sold on September 10, 2012 was purchased by Victor Keen, a director of the Company. The Notes included a $73,000 OID. Accordingly, the Company received $365,000 gross proceeds from which the Company paid legal fees of $25,000 and placement agent fees of $27,675. The Bridge Notes mature in 90 days from their date of issuance and, other than the OID, the Bridge Notes do not carry interest. However, in the event the Bridge Notes are not paid on maturity, all past due amounts will accrue interest at 15% per annum. Upon maturity of the Bridge Notes, the holders of the Bridge Notes may elect to convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Bridge Notes into units sold pursuant to this Prospectus at the offering price or shares of Common Stock at a conversion price equal to the lesser of 100% of the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP), as reported for the 5 trading days prior to (a) the date of issuance of the Bridge Notes, (b) the maturity date of the Bridge Notes, or (c) the first closing date of the securities sold pursuant to this Prospectus.

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.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Not Applicable.
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.

During the most recent quarter ended September 30, 2012, 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.
PART II
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.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, shares of common stock totaling 6,790 were issued for consulting services for which the Company charged operations $2,500.
During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012 Golden State converted $6,471 of a 4.75% convertible debenture into 5,809,601 shares of common stock and exercised warrants to purchase 1,850 shares of common stock at $381.50 per share.
On August 24, 2012, August 28, 2012 and September 10, 2012, the Company issued and sold to accredited investors Convertible Bridge Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $438,000. The note sold on September 10, 2012 was purchased by Victor Keen, a director of the Company. The Notes included a $73,000 original issue discount. Accordingly, the Company received $365,000 gross proceeds from which the Company paid legal fees of $25,000 and placement agent fees of $27,675. The Bridge Notes mature in 90 days from their date of issuance and, other than the original issue discount, the Bridge Notes do not carry interest. However, in the event the Bridge Notes are not paid on maturity, all past due amounts will accrue interest at 15% per annum. Upon maturity of the Bridge Notes, the holders of the Bridge Notes may elect to convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Bridge Notes into units sold pursuant to this Prospectus at the offering price or shares of Common Stock at a conversion price equal to the lesser of 100% of the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP), as reported for the 5 trading days prior to (a) the date of issuance of the Bridge Notes, (b) the maturity date of the Bridge Notes, or (c) the first closing date of the securities sold pursuant to this Prospectus. In the event that the holders of the Bridge Notes elect to convert into units sold pursuant to this Prospectus, the Placement Agent agreed not to charge a placement agent fee for such purchases of units. Furthermore, in the event that the Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed by the Company on July 3, 2012, or amendments thereto, is not declared effective 90 days from the date of the issuance of the Bridge Notes, the Company agreed to register the Common Stock into which the Bridge Notes are convertible.
In connection with the securities issuances reported in this Item, the Company relied upon the exemption from securities registration afforded by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). No advertising or general solicitation was employed in offering any securities.
