ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

Dais Analytic Corporation is a nano-structured polymer technology materials company having developed and now commercializing applications using its family of nanomaterial called Aqualyte™. The first commercial product is called ConsERV™, a fixed plate energy recovery ventilator which we believe is useful in meeting building indoor fresh air requirements while saving energy and lowering emissions for most forms of Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) equipment. We are developing other nano-structured polymer technology applications including (i) “NanoClear”, a water clean-up process useful in the creation of potable water from most forms of contaminated water including industrial process waste water (petrochemical, steel, etc.) sea, brackish or waste water and (ii) NanoAir, a water based ‘no fluorocarbon based refrigerant dehumidification, humidification, heating and cooling system. We further believe our nano-structure polymer technology may be useful in developing a form of energy storage device capable of storing greater energy density and power per pound than traditional forms of energy storage such as capacitors or batteries.

Formation History

We were incorporated as a New York corporation on April 8, 1993 as Dais Corporation. We subsequently changed our name to Dais Analytic Corporation on December 13, 1999. We were formed to develop new, cost-effective polymer materials for various applications, including providing a lower cost membrane material for Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (“PEM”) fuel cells. We believe our research on materials science has yielded technological advances in the field of selective ion transport polymer materials.

In December 1999, we purchased the assets of Analytic Power Corporation, which was founded in 1984 to provide fuel cell and fuel processor design and consulting services, systems integration and analysis services to develop integrated fuel cell power systems, and we were re-named Dais Analytic Corporation.

In March 2002, we sold substantially all of our fuel cell assets to a large U.S. oil company for a combination of cash and the assumption by such company of certain of our obligations. After we sold a substantial portion of our fuel cell assets, we focused on expanding our nano-structured polymer platform, having already identified the Energy Recovery Ventilator (“ERV”) application as our first commercial product.

Recent Developments

Securities Purchase Agreement with Strategic Investors

On December 15, 2014, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “2014 SPA”) with two investors with principal offices in Hong Kong (“2014 Investors”). Pursuant to the 2014 SPA, the Company agreed to sell 18,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for $2,750,000, at approximately $0.153 per share. The Company received approximately $2,200,000 of the cash proceeds as of December 31, 2014. The remaining $550,000 was received and the Company issued the 18,000,000 shares of common stock during the first quarter of 2015. 20,333,334 shares of the Company’s common shares may be issued to the 2014 Investors in connection with the purchase of 51% of the equity of an existing PRC company with assets of at least $3,000,000 if the purchasers capitalize the existing PRC company with $3,000,000, issue the Company 51% of the existing PRC company’s equity and arrange an HVAC services agreement $60,000,000 in sales over a three year period.

Largest Aqualyte Order and Initial ConsERV™ Order in China

In November 2014, the Company completed its second delivery of Aqualyte membrane for use in ConsERV products to being assembled in China by Soex (Hong Kong) Industry & Investment Co., Ltd. (“Soex”). This delivery consisted of over 600,000 square feet of the Aqualyte nano-material or enough material to cover 10 football fields, meeting the growing demand in China for ConsERV energy recovery ventilation (ERV) systems.

The Aqualyte membrane is produced in the USA and shipped to China, where it is the key component in Dais’s ConsERV energy recovery ventilators assembled by Soex for distribution by Soex and others in greater China. ConsERV is a four-time award winning commercial engineered add-on product useful on most forms of Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) equipment. Aqualyte™ allows ConsERV to improve Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) while reducing energy usage, operational and capital equipment costs, worker or student productivity, and reducing power plant emissions.

In 2013 the Company received an initial order for its ConsERV™ cores and systems useful in most forms of HVAC equipment built around Aqualyte™ nano-materials from a specialty engineering service company in Beijing, China. The deployment of the ConsERV™ technology is at the first building of a 45-building complex. Installation in the first building has been completed and the customer reports approximately 20% savings in energy usage. Since that time other installations of ConsERV have been completed in China including in schools, passive home projects, and factories. We believe sales in China and Southeast Asia are our best route to increased sales and profitability by growing ConsERV sales. Initial NanoClear sales will be strongest in China and Southeast Asia with North America contributing to expected revenue growth largely shaped by newer regulatory events. 

Relationship with Soex

The Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Soex SPA”) with Soex pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell 37.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock, for $1.5 million, at $0.04 per share pursuant to Regulation S. To further the distribution of the Company’s products and strengthen the relationship between the Company and Soex, Soex agreed to form, and issue to the Company equity in, a subsidiary (the “Subsidiary”) which will function as the manufacturer and master distributor. Soex has formed the Subsidiary but has not issued the equity to the Company. On April 24, 2014, the Company entered into a Distribution Agreement with Soex to distribute certain of the Company’s products in China. The Company was entitled to receive royalties and a $500,000 payment, of which $50,000 has been received, that was due on or before October 24, 2014. The Company has not received any royalties from Soex. Soex is in breach of the Distribution Agreement. Sharon Han, General Manager and Chairwoman of Soex, serves on the Company’s board pursuant to the provisions of the Soex SPA.

NanoClear™ Grant to Continue Research

The Company received a $1,000,000 grant to continue developing its NanoClear™ water clearing separation product using funds from a U.S. Army Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program. The NanoClear™ grant project entitled “Non-Fouling Water Reuse Technologies” uses Dais’s patented Aqualyte™ membrane to produce potable water from grey-water sources has been awarded another $1,000,000 in reimbursement funding for two years of further development. Dais is moving to introduce its first commercial water filtration module by the third quarter of 2015. The potential product improvement(s) from this $1,000,000 grant will widen NanoClear’s applications in the burgeoning opportunity to separate clean water from most types of contaminated waste streams potentially beginning as early as early 2016.

Technology

We use proprietary nano-technology to reformulate thermoplastic materials called polymers. Nano-technology involves studying and working with matter on an ultra-small scale. One nanometer is one-millionth of a millimeter and a single human hair is around 80,000 nanometers in width. Polymers are chemical, plastic-like compounds used in diverse products such as Dacron, Teflon, and polyurethane. A thermoplastic is a material that is plastic or deformable, melts to a liquid when heated and to a brittle, glassy state when cooled sufficiently.

These reformulated polymers have properties that allow them to be used in unique ways. We transform polymers from a hard, water impermeable substance into a material which water and similar liquids can, under certain conditions, diffuse (although there are no openings in the material) as molecules as opposed to liquid water. Water and similar liquids penetrate the thermoplastic material at the molecular level without oxygen and other atmospheric gases penetrating the material. It is believed this selectivity is dependent on the size and type of a particular molecule. We are using the name ‘Aqualyte” for these materials as we continue their commercialization.

We have recently introduced an upgraded version of our Aqualyte™ nanomaterial. The improved material set provides a shorter supply chain resulting in better inventory management as well as improved physical characteristics potentially offering wider commercial adoption and applications in the future.

Products

ConsERV™

We currently continue widening the channels of commercialization for ConsERV™ product. ConsERV™ is an HVAC energy conservation product which should, according to various tests, save an average of up to 30% on HVAC ventilation air operating costs, lower CO₂ emissions and allow HVAC equipment to be up to 30% smaller, reducing peak energy usage by up to 20% while simultaneously improving indoor air quality. This product makes most forms of HVAC systems operate more efficiently and results, in many cases, in energy and cost savings. ConsERV™ generally attaches onto existing HVAC systems, typically in commercial buildings, to provide improved ventilation air within the structure. ConsERV pre-conditions the incoming air by passing over our nano-technology polymer which has been formed into a full enthalpy heat exchanger core. The nano-technology heat exchanger uses the stale building air that must be simultaneously exhausted to transfer heat and moisture into or out of the incoming air. For summer air conditioning, the “core” removes some of the heat and humidity from the incoming air, transferring it to the exhaust air stream thereby, under certain conditions, saving energy. For winter heating, the “core” transfers a portion of the heat and humidity into the incoming air from the exhaust air stream thereby often saving energy.

Our ConsERV™ product has been the primary focus of our resources and commercialization efforts. When compared to similar competitive products, we believe based on test results conducted by the Air-Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI), a leading industry association, ConsERV™ maintains an industry leading position in the management of latent heat. We expect ConsERV™ to continue to be our focused commercial product through 2015 with a growing emphasis on moving components of our Nano Clear technologies to commercialization.

Composite Polymer Membrane (Aqualyte™)

Commercially available polymer resin in flake form and industrial grade solvents are mixed together using a proprietary process involving heat, industrial equipment, and solvents. The resin and the solvents are commercially available from any number of chemical supply houses, or firms such as Dow and Kraton (formerly Shell Elastomers then part of Royal Dutch Shell). Our process changes the molecular properties of the starting polymer resins into a liquid material which we believe gives the attribute of being selective in what molecules it will allow through the plastic, which includes water molecules. This process, called ‘sulfonation’, is done at toll processing facilities around the world that specialize in contract manufacture of small batches (by industry standards) of specialty chemicals.

Membrane (Plastic Based Sheet Good)

Until mid-2014 a thin coating of the liquid polymer material is applied on one side of the sheet good by a ‘tape casting’ firm of which there are many in the United States. The coated sheet good is heated in a process designed to bond the polymer solution and rolled sheet good together. The resulting ‘modified sheet good’ is then re-coiled into rolls and shipped to us. During 2014 the Company introduced, after extensive development and testing, a newer method of creating the membrane material, eliminated two vendor steps, increased yield, produced a stronger material, and set the direction for future innovations. Currently one vendor creates the final membrane form of Aqualyte used in ConsERV and NanoClear. We have not sought additional vendors for this component. However, we have identified other entities making similar types of products and believe such entities and products may provide alternatives should one be required. As noted above the Company is working on this project to lower its exposure as well as its costs.

The ConsERV™ Core

The modified sheet good is cut into defined dimensions and glued to a spacer formed from a thin plastic sheet, typically a commodity thermoplastic. This combination of a ‘spacer glued to modified sheet good’ forms a single layer. Multiple layers are stacked one on top the other until a certain height is achieved. Once the proper height is achieved, these layers are then fitted with a galvanized sheet metal plates on the top and bottom of the stack along with galvanized sheet metal brackets on each of the four corners to form an assembly is called a ‘core’. The galvanized sheet metal is a world-wide commodity material formed to our specifications by local and out-of-town sheet metal forming companies. We have no long term contractual relationships with firms making the spacers, supplying the glue, supplying the rivets or forming the sheet metal hardware in our core.

The ConsERV™ System

For the complete ConsERV™ system, one or more cores are placed inside of aluminum or steel boxes built by a vendor, our licensees or us. The box may or may not also be fitted with an electric motor, fan, electric relay, and electrical disconnect. Inclusion or exclusion of the electric motor and fan is dictated by the customers’ needs and current HVAC system. Once outfitted with cores, the energy recovery ventilator is complete. We have no long term contractual relationships with firms providing the aluminum or steel parts used to build the box, the motors, the fans, the relays, or the electrical disconnects.

NanoClear™ -Water treatment

We expect this application, when development is completed, will function to remove quantities of metals, acids, salt and other impurities from various contaminated water sources to produce potable water using an environmentally friendly, low maintenance des design that is competitive with industry leaders in terms of electrical consumption. We have constructed a pilot plant that was installed at a local County waste water treatment facility and commissioned in May 2013. This site has served as a showcase for potential commercial customers. The accumulated test data, analyzed by an independent 3^rd party firm, shows the water quality of the water being produced has not diminished since system start-up. Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) measurements are holding steady at 6 parts per million (ppm). The experience and generated data from the pilot facility combined with manufacturing techniques and improvements pioneered by Dais are forming the first next generation of Aqualyte™ based membrane evaporators which we believe will be the initial commercial product for NanoClear targeting to be introduced in 2015. This membrane evaporator will be an order of magnitude more compact, and have reduced manufacturing costs, than the existing membrane evaporator generations.

NanoAir™ - Water-based packaged HVAC system

We expect this application, when development is completed, will function to dehumidify and cool air in warm weather, or humidify and heat in cold weather. This NanoAir application may be capable of replacing a traditional, refrigerant-based, vapor compression heating/cooling system. The Company has a small prototype showing fundamental heating, cooling, humidification, and dehumidification operation of this evolving product. The NanoAir product is in the middle stage of prototype development. Since May 1, 2013, the Company has been working with the Advanced Research Projects Agency – Energy (ARPA-E) branch of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to develop an energy-efficient dehumidification system using Aqualyte polymer membranes to selectively transfer moisture. The award provides up to $800,000 in federal funding to the Company, provided the Company contributes a 20% cost share toward the proposed total project cost of $1,000,000. The Company successfully demonstrated on time its major technical goals of showing membrane dehumidifier which met project targets, and is currently summarizing the technical, economic, and commercial impact of the developments to close out this ARPA-E program. The Company is working with select potential OEMs, and the DoE focused on moving NanoAir to initial commercialization and revenue generation.

NanoCap™ - Energy Storage

Based on initial material tests conducted by two third parties, we believe that by applying a combination of our nano-materials we may be able to construct a device which stores energy as electrical charge in a device with projected increases in energy density, endurance, and usefulness relative to traditional battery technology. We believe the key applications for such a device would be in transportation and/or grid energy storage. The Company has focused its resources on revenue producing items or uses closer to producing revenue. We have not invested significant resources to date in the development of this application beyond the prototype stage. We are following strong and continued interest from key renewable energy OEMs to create a partnership to potentially move this exciting energy storage medium ahead beginning during 2015.

Other

The Company has identified other potential products for our materials and processes as well as accumulating basic data to support the needed functionality and market differentiation of these products based on using our nano-technology based inventions. These other products are based, in part, upon the known functionality of the Company’s materials and processes.

Patents

We own the rights to eleven U.S. patents, one Chinese patent, one U.S. patent applications, two divisional applications and four Patent Cooperation Treaty (“PCT”) applications. National stage applications based on one of the PCT applications have resulted in a patent being issued in both the U.S. and China with further applications pending in Europe and Hong Kong. National stage applications based on the second and third PCT applications have been filed in the U.S. and China and a national stage application based on the fourth PCT application has been filed in the U.S.. Divisional applications based on one of the above mentioned PCT applications have been filed in China and Hong Kong. In addition, we co-own one PCT application with Aegis Biosciences LLC, a biomaterials drug delivery technology company. National stage applications based on the co-owned PCT application has resulted in one U.S. patent with applications pending in China and Hong Kong. These patents relate to, or are applications of, our nano-structured polymer materials that perform functions such as ion exchange and modification of surface properties. The polymers are selectively permeable to polar materials, such as water, in molecular form. Selective permeability allows these materials to function as a nano-filter in various transfer applications. These materials are made from base polymer resins available from a number of commercial firms worldwide and possess what we believe to be some unique and controllable properties, such as:

Intellectual Property

As stated above, we own eleven U.S. patents, one Chinese patent and co-own one additional U.S patent. Said patents include patents covering the composition and structure of a family of ion conducting polymers and membranes and certain applications of the polymer. We believe some of these patents make reference to applications relating to the materials we are developing. Please see the “Risk Factors” Section. A list of our existing patents follows:

We have provisional and patent applications in the following areas: Anionic Exchange Electrolyte Polymers, Energy Storage Devices, Enthalpy Core Applications and Construction, and Water Treatment and Desalination.

The following is a partial list of the patent applications publicly visible:

 ___________ 

* Patent applications jointly owned with Aegis Biosciences, LLC.

Patents may or may not be granted on any of the above applications. As noted above, some of these applications are jointly owned with Aegis Biosciences, LLC. We also seek to protect our proprietary intellectual property, including intellectual property that may not be patented or patentable, in part by entering into confidentiality agreements with our current and prospective strategic partners and employees.

Manufacturing

We do not have long term contractual relationships with any of our manufacturers or vendors. There are no subassemblies or components that could not be purchased. Purchases to date of raw materials and related services have been on a purchase order basis using non-disclosure agreements.

Licensing

In October of 2012, we entered into a License and Supply agreement with MGE Energy LLC (“MGE”) owned by a shareholder of the Company. Pursuant to the agreement, we granted MGE a license to use certain technology to manufacture, sell, lease and distribute certain products for use in energy recovery ventilators installed in commercial and residential buildings in North and South America. We are to receive a royalty based on MGE, and any sub-licensee’s sales. In addition, as part of the license agreement, MGE and any sublicensees are to purchase certain energy recovery ventilator products from us. While we have earned licensing revenue under agreements licensing our technology in the past, we may not continue to receive material revenue from these agreements, including the one described above, in the near or foreseeable future.

In April of 2014, the Company entered into a Distribution Agreement (the “Distribution Agreement”) with Soex (Hong Kong) Industry & Investment Co., Ltd., a Hong Kong corporation (the “Distributor”), to distribute certain of the Company’s products. Pursuant to the Distribution Agreement, in exchange for $500,000, including $50,000 due upon the execution of the Distribution Agreement, royalty payments and a commitment from the Distributor to purchase nano-material membrane and other products from Dais, the Distributor obtained the right to distribute and market Dais’s products for incorporation in energy recovery ventilators sold and installed in commercial, industrial and residential buildings, transportation facilities and vehicles (the “Field”) in mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan (the “Territory”). Further the Distributor received an exclusive license in the Territory to use Dais’s intellectual property in the manufacture and sale of Dais’s products in the Field and Territory and to purchase its requirements of nano-material membrane only from Dais, subject to terms and conditions of the Distribution Agreement. The initial term of the Distribution Agreement is fifteen years unless terminated for, among other causes, the Distributor’s failure to make payments to Dais for products ordered that do not exceed $15,000,000 in 2016 or any calendar year thereafter. The Company has not received any royalties from Soex. The Company was entitled to receive a $500,000 payment, of which $50,000 has been received, that was due on or before October 24, 2014. Soex is in breach of the Distribution Agreement.

Customers and Suppliers

We are dependent on third parties to manufacture the key components needed for our nano-structured based materials. Accordingly, a supplier’s failure to supply components in a timely manner, or to supply components that meet our quality, quantity and cost requirements or our technical specifications, or the inability to obtain alternative sources of these components on a timely basis or on terms acceptable to us, would create delays in production of our products or increase our unit costs of production. Certain of the components contain proprietary products of our suppliers, or the processes used by our suppliers to manufacture these components are proprietary. If we are required to replace any of our suppliers, while we should be able to obtain comparable components from alternative suppliers at comparable costs, this would create a delay in production.

For the year ended December 31, 2014, two customers, Multistack LLC and Soex, accounted for approximately 60% and 27% of the Company’s revenue, respectively. At December 31, 2014, amounts due from these customers were approximately 67% and 0%, respectively, of total accounts receivable. For the year ended December 31, 2013, one customer, Multistack LLC, accounted for approximately 83% of the Company’s revenue. At December 31, 2013, amounts due from this customer were approximately 63% of total accounts receivable. See Note 10 for a discussion of Multistack and the licensing agreement with MG Energy LLC.

Research and Development

Expenditures for research, development, and engineering of products are expensed as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company incurred research and development costs of approximately $763,100 and $676,100, respectively. The Company accounts for proceeds received from government grants for research as a reduction in research and development costs. For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded approximately $355,000 and $181,000, respectively, in proceeds against research and development expenses on the statements of operations.

Key Relationships

We have strategic relationships with leaders in the energy industry who have entered into sales, marketing, distribution and product development arrangements with us and, in some cases, hold equity in our Company. They include the relationship with MGE Energy LLC described below.

ConsERV™ – Sales and Marketing Strategies

In October of 2012, we entered into a License and Supply agreement with MGE Energy LLC (“MGE”). Pursuant to the agreement, we granted MGE a license to use certain technology to manufacture, sell, lease and distribute certain products for use in energy recovery ventilators installed in commercial and residential buildings in North and South America. We are to receive a royalty on any sale by MGE and its sublicensees of product containing our technology in energy recovery ventilators. In addition, as part of the license agreement, MGE and any sublicensees are to purchase certain energy recovery ventilator components from us. In February 2013, MGE’s sublicensee commenced marketing, manufacturing and selling ConsERV™ in North and South America. We are currently supplying ConsERV™ cores to them in accordance with the License and Supply Agreement.

We also have secured and continue to discuss relationships with other leading industry HVAC manufacturers, HVAC product distributors, energy service companies and ERV manufacturers outside of North and South America. In addition, aside from our relationship with Soex, we are discussing relationships for use of our ConsERV™ products in other applications outside of energy recovery ventilation world-wide. 

Future Products – Sales and Marketing Strategies

Our unfolding sales and marketing strategy finds us creating alliances with companies having strong, existing channel presence in the target industries. We intend to bring industry seasoned talent into the Company during 2015 at the appropriate time to influence the product’s feature set, and to then to establish and grow the market development and revenue generation. We believe working with Original Equipment Manufacturer's ("OEMs"), and larger end-users who are industry leaders during latter stages of development allows us to increase the speed of market penetration, and revenue generation.

Competition and Barriers to Entry

We believe the efficacy of our value-added products and technology has the ability to decrease sales of competing products, thus taking business away from more established firms using older technology. We believe that our ConsERV™ product may become a functional component of newer, more efficient OEM products. A key challenge is to educate channel decision makers of the benefits of products made using our materials and processes to overcome the strength of the current product sales.

There are a number of companies located in the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia that have been developing and selling technologies and products in the energy recovery industry, including but not limited to: Semco, Greenheck, Venmar, Bry-Air, dPoint, Renewaire and AirXchange.

We will experience significant competition regarding our products because certain competing companies possess greater financial and personal resources than us. Future product competitors include, but are not limited to:

We believe that the combination of our nano-material platform’s characteristics (high selectivity, high flux rate, manufacturability, et al.), growing patent position, forms competitive advantages, which may allow us time to execute our business plan. The majority of our competitors may experience barriers to entry in these markets primarily related to the lack of similarly performing proprietary materials and processes.

Government Regulation

We do not believe the sale, installation or use of our current nano-structured products will be subject to any government regulation, other than perhaps adherence to building codes, and water safety regulations. We do not believe that the cost of complying with such codes and regulations, to the extent applicable to our products, will be prohibitive.

We do not know the extent to which any existing or new regulations may affect our ability to distribute, install and service any of our products. Once our other products reach the commercialization stage and we begin distributing them to our target markets, federal, state or local governmental entities may seek to impose regulations.

We are also subject to various international, federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to, among other things, land use, safe working conditions, and environmental regulations regarding handling and disposal of hazardous and potentially hazardous substances and emissions of pollutants into the atmosphere. Our business may expose us to the risk of harmful substances escaping into the environment, resulting in potential personal injury or loss of life, damage to or destruction of property, and natural resource damage. Depending on the nature of any claim, our current insurance policies may not adequately reimburse us for costs incurred in settling environmental damage claims, and in some instances, we may not be reimbursed at all. To date, we are not aware of any claims or liabilities under these existing laws and regulations that would materially affect our results of operations or financial condition.

Employees

As of December 31, 2014, we employed approximately 25 employees. None of the employees are subject to a collective bargaining agreement. We consider our relations with our employees to be good.

Principal Offices

Our principal office is located at 11552 Prosperous Drive, Odessa, FL 33556.

ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS.

We do not anticipate investing in real estate or interests in real estate, real estate mortgages, or securities of or interests in persons primarily engaged in real estate activities. We currently have no formal investment policy and do not intend to undertake investments in real estate as a part of our normal operations.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, claims are made against us in the ordinary course of our business, which could result in litigation. Claims and associated litigation are subject to inherent uncertainties and unfavorable outcomes could occur, such as monetary damages, fines, penalties or injunctions prohibiting us from selling one or more products or engaging in other activities. The occurrence of an unfavorable outcome in any specific period could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations for that period or future periods.

In March 2014, the Company received notice of a lawsuit against the Company and one of its customers for damages in connection with the installation of equipment by a contractor involved in a construction project. The contractor makes claims for breach or warranties, negligence and products liability. In the complaint, the contractor alleges that it paid $180,000 to the general contractor of the project for damages, primarily consequential and incidental damages, allegedly caused by an alleged failure of a subcontracted component of equipment provided by the Company and its customer. Further, the Company has made claims against its supplier for contribution and indemnification for any damages. The supplier then instituted a counterclaim against the Company. The Company is vigorously defending itself against these allegations and, at this stage, the Company does not have an estimate of the likelihood or the amount of any potential expense for this lawsuit.

Equity Compensation Plan Information

The following table sets forth information regarding our 2000 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2000 Plan”) and the 2009 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the 2009 Plan”) under which our securities are authorized for issuance as of December 31, 2014:

In June 2000 and November 2009, our board of directors adopted, and our shareholders approved, the 2000 Plan and 2009 Plan; respectively (together the “Plans”). The Plans provide for the grant of stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and bonus stock and other awards to eligible persons, as defined in said plans, including, but not limited to, officers, directors and employees of the Company. Certain awards under the Plans may be subject to performance conditions. 

Number of Shares of Common Stock Available Under the Plans. As of December 31, 2007, our board of directors approved and made available 6,093,882 shares of common stock to be issued pursuant to the 2000 Plan. Subsequently, our board of directors approved and made available an additional 5,000,000 shares of our common stock for issuance under the 2000 Plan. The 2000 Plan permits grants of options to purchase common shares authorized and approved by the Company’s Board of Directors and shareholders for issuance prior to the enactment of the 2000 Plan. On November 5, 2009, our board of directors approved and made available a total of 15,000,000 shares of common stock to be issued pursuant to the 2009 Plan.

Administration of the Plans. The Plans are administered by a committee of two or more directors designated by the board of directors to administer the Plans (the “Committee”) or, in the absence of such Committee, by the board of directors. Currently, the Plans are administered by our board of directors. The board of directors has the authority to select the participants to whom awards under Plans will be granted, grant awards, determine the type, number and other terms and conditions of, and all other matters relating to, awards granted under the Plans and to prescribe the rules and regulations for the administration of the Plans. No option or stock appreciation rights granted under the Plans shall be exercisable, however, more than ten years after the date of the grant.

Exercise Price. The Plans require the Committee to grant qualified options with an exercise price per share not less than the fair market price of a share of common stock on the date of grant of the option.

Transferability. Awards granted under the Plans are generally not transferable by the optionee otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution and generally exercisable during the lifetime of the optionee only by the optionee.

Change in Control. All awards granted under the 2000 Plan which were not previously exercisable and vested shall become fully exercisable and vested upon a change of control of the Company, which includes the consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into any other entity, sale of all or substantially all of our assets, replacement of a majority of our board of directors, acquisition by any person of securities representing 20% or more of the voting power of our then outstanding securities (other than securities issued by us) or any other event which the board of directors determines would materially alter our structure or ownership.

Options Granted to Non-Employee Directors. Non-employee directors of the Company are usually granted options each year, which generally become exercisable upon the date of grant, and generally expire on the earlier of ten years from the date of grant or up to three years after the date that the optionee ceases to serve as a director.

2015 Plan

On December 24, 2014, the Company’ Board of Directors approved the Dais Analytic Corporation 2015 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”), which was approved by shareholders on February 27, 2015. The number of shares of our common stock reserved for issuance under the 2015 Plan is 10,000,000. The 2015 Plan would authorize the grant to eligible individuals of (1) Stock Options (Incentive and Nonstatutory), (2) Restricted Stock, (3) Stock Appreciation Rights, or SARs, (4) Restricted Stock Units, (5) Other Stock-Based Awards, and (6) Cash-Based Awards.

Stand-Alone Grants

ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA.

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act 1934, as amended, and are not required to provide the information under this item.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Report. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. The actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including, but not limited to, those which are not within our control.

OVERVIEW

We have developed and patented a nano-structure polymer technology, which is being commercialized in products based on the functionality of these materials. We believe the applications of our technology have promise in a number of diverse market segments and products.

The initial product focus of the Company is ConsERV, an energy recovery ventilator. Our primary focus is to expand our marketing and sales of our ConsERV products world- wide. We also have new product applications in various stages of development. We believe that these product applications may be brought to market in the foreseeable future if we receive adequate capital funding. Dais is moving to introduce its first commercial water filtration module during the third quarter of 2015. Developments from a US Army SBIR being undertaken in 2015 may widen NanoClear’s application presence in the burgeoning opportunity to separate clean water from most types of contaminated waste streams potentially beginning as early as early 2016.

We expect ConsERV™ to continue to be our focused commercial product through 2015 with a growing emphasis on moving the development of the NanoClear product towards commercialization. We also expect sales outside the United States to account for a greater percentage of our sales.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

DECEMBER 31, 2014 COMPARED TO DECEMBER 31, 2013

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, certain data derived from our Statements of Operations:

REVENUES

Total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 were $1,900,250 and $1,742,595, respectively, an increase of 9%. We now generate our revenues primarily from the sale of our ConsERV™ cores and Aqualyte membrane. Sales of Aqualyte membrane increased to approximately $500,000 while sales of ConsERV™ cores decreased approximately 10% and there were no sales of MERV systems. We also occasionally license our technology to other strategic partners and sell various prototypes of other product applications that use our polymer technology. License and royalty fees decreased from $215,606 to $181,935.

The decrease in core revenues in the 2014 period is primarily attributable to transitioning ConsERV™ system sales in North and South America to MG Energy LLC. As a result of the License and Supply Agreement with MG Energy LLC, Multistack, LLC accounted for approximately 60% of the Company’s revenue for the year ended December 31, 2014 and 83% for the year ended December 31, 2013. Our membrane sales were to Soex. For the year ended December 31, 2014, Soex, accounted for approximately 27% of the Company’s revenue.

We are also working to create license/supply relationships with HVAC or ERV OEMs having a dominant presence in existing direct related sales channels world-wide outside of North and South America. We believe sales in China and Southeast Asia are our best route to increased sales and profitability.

COST OF GOODS SOLD

Our cost of sales consists primarily of materials (including freight), direct labor, and outsourced manufacturing expenses incurred to produce our ConsERV™ products. Cost of goods sold was $1,217,559 and $1,257,418 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, a decrease of 3.2%.

We are dependent on third parties to manufacture the key components needed for our nano-structured based materials and value added products made with these materials. Accordingly, a supplier’s failure to supply components in a timely manner, or to supply components that meet our quality, quantity and cost requirements or our technical specifications, or the inability to obtain alternative sources of these components on a timely basis or on terms acceptable to us, would create delays in production of our products and/or increase our unit costs of production. Certain of the components contain proprietary products of our suppliers, or the processes used by our suppliers to manufacture these components are proprietary. If we are required to replace any of our suppliers, while we should be able to obtain comparable components from alternative suppliers at comparable costs, it would create a delay in production.

GROSS MARGIN

Our gross margin increased to $682,691 from $485,177 as a result of an increase in sales and gross margin percentage. Our gross margin percentage on sales (excluding licensing and royalty fees) increased to approximately 30% from approximately 18%. The increase in gross profit is attributable to a better mix of sales as the Company sold membrane and cores in 2014 as opposed to boxes and cores in 2013. The Company also was able to increase its efficiency and lowered its labor cost per core and, as a result, increased its gross margin percentage.

OPERATING EXPENSES

Our selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of payroll and related benefits, share-based compensation, professional fees, marketing and channel support costs, and other infrastructure costs such as insurance, information technology and occupancy expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $2,047,898 for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to $2,108,629 for the year ended December 31, 2013, a decrease of $60,731 or approximately 2.9%. This decrease is primarily due to an decrease in stock based compensation and a decrease in administrative payroll expenses, partially offset by an increase in professional fees.

Our selling, general and administrative expenses may fluctuate due to a variety of factors, including, but not limited to:

There was a decrease in research and development expenses in 2014 to $408,119 from $495,175 as a result of increased reimbursement from government contracts. Gross expense for research and development increased to $763,107 from 676,100.

OTHER EXPENSES

Loss on impairment of equipment was $2,672 for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to $0 for the year ended December 31, 2014. Interest expense, net was $540 for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared with $179 for the year ended December 31, 2013.

NET INCOME (LOSS):

Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $1,772,366 compared to a net loss of $2,121,478 for the year ended December 31, 2013. The decrease in net loss for the year ended December 31, 2014 was primarily increase in gross margin and a decrease in operating expenses.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We were able in 2013 and 2014 to move from debt financing to equity financing. We completed the following sales of unregistered equity securities:

While after the equity sale to SOEX, we had enough cash to continue in business in 2014, with the equity sale completed in March 2015, we should have enough cash to continue business for the next 12 months and beyond..

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. For the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company generated a net loss of $1,772,366 and the Company has incurred significant losses since inception. As of December 31, 2014, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $41,845,671, working capital of $1,575,885 and a stockholders’ deficit of $1,135,700. The Company used $1,313,400 and $650,184 of cash in operations during 2014 and 2013, respectively, which was funded by proceeds from equity financings.

Any future financing may result in substantial dilution to existing shareholders, and future debt financing, if available, may include restrictive covenants or may require us to grant a lender a security interest in any of our assets not already subject to an existing security interest. If we secure debt financing in the future, we may not be able to repay all or any of such debt when due without severely impacting our ability to continue operations and we may not be able to secure additional financing to repay such financing on acceptable terms, if at all. Should we be unable to repay or renegotiate any such financing, as an alternative, management could attempt to renegotiate the repayment terms and seek extension of the maturity dates. There is no guarantee that, if we should need to renegotiate any such future debt, any negotiated terms we may be able to secure would be favorable to the Company. To the extent that we attempt to raise additional funds through third party collaborations and/or licensing arrangements, we may be required to relinquish some rights to our technologies or products currently in various stages of development, or grant licenses or other rights on terms that are not favorable to us. Any failure by us to timely procure additional financing or investment adequate to fund our ongoing operations, including planned product development initiatives and commercialization efforts, will have material adverse consequences on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as could any unfavorable terms.

Statements of Cash Flows

Cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2014 was $2,343,523 compared to $27,125 as of December 31, 2013. Cash is primarily used to fund our working capital requirements.

Net cash used in operating activities was $1,313,400 for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $650,184 for the same period in 2013. Although, there was a greater net loss in the year ended December 31, 2013, greater cash was used by operating activities in 2014 as a result of the increased payment of accounts payable in 2014 compared to 2013 and a smaller decrease in accounts receivable.

Net cash used in investing activities was $35,222 for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $116,730 for the same period in 2013. Compared to the year ended December 31, 2013, we decreased our purchases of equipment in 2014 by approximately $79,000.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $3,664,960 for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to approximately $500,000 for the same period in 2013. During the year ended December 31, 2014, we sold equity to one group and accepted a deposit for a subscription from another group as described above.

ECONOMY AND INFLATION

We have not experienced any significant cancellation of orders due to the downturn in the economy and only a small number of customer requested delays in delivery or production of orders in process. Our management believes that inflation has not had a material effect on our results of operations

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

We do not have any liabilities related to long-term contractual obligations as of December 31, 2014.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The preparation of the accompanying financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying financial statements and the accompanying notes. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. When making these estimates and assumptions, we consider our historical experience, our knowledge of economic and market factors and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Management has discussed the selection of critical accounting policies and estimates with our Board of Directors, and the Board of Directors has reviewed our disclosure relating to critical accounting policies and estimates in this annual report on Form 10-K. The following critical accounting policies are significantly affected by judgments, assumptions and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements:

The significant accounting policies followed are:

Revenue recognition

Generally, the Company recognizes revenue for its products upon shipment to customers, provided no significant obligations remain and collection is probable.

In certain instances, our ConsERV system product may carry a limited warranty of up to two years for all parts contained therein with the exception of the energy recovery ventilator core produced and sold by Dais its distributor may carry a limited warranty of up to ten years. The limited warranty includes replacement of defective parts for the ConsERV system, and includes workmanship and material failure for the ConsERV core. The Company has recorded an accrual of approximately $91,500 and $92,100 for future warranty expenses at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, which is included in the line item for accrued expenses, other. The Company has not developed the limited warranty parameters for the first NanoClear product at this time.

Revenue derived from the sale of licenses is deferred and recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the life of the license, or until the license arrangement is terminated. Royalties are recognized as earned. The Company recognized revenue of $121,935 and $189,100, respectively, from license agreements for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. The Company recognized revenue of $60,000 and $26,512, respectively, from royalties for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.

The Company accounts for revenue arrangements with multiple elements under the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 605-25, "Revenue Recognition—Multiple-Element Arrangements," In order to account for these agreements, the Company must identify the deliverables included within the agreement and evaluate which deliverables represent separate units of accounting based on if certain criteria are met, including whether the delivered element has stand-alone value to the licensee. The consideration received is allocated among the separate units of accounting, and the applicable revenue recognition criteria are applied to each of the separate units.

Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable consist primarily of receivables from the sale of our products and royalties due under license and supply agreements. The Company regularly reviews accounts receivable for any bad debts based on an analysis of the Company’s collection experience, customer credit worthiness, and current economic trends.

Impairment of Long-Lived and Intangible Assets

Identified intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company’s existing intangible assets consist solely of patents. Patents are amortized over their estimated useful or economic lives of 17 to 20 years. Patent amortization expense was approximately $25,400 and $22,400 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Based on current capitalized costs, total patent amortization expense is estimated to be approximately $18,000 per year for the next five years and $23,000 thereafter.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, as compensation expense in the financial statements based on their fair values. That expense will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period).

The value of each grant is estimated at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option model with the following assumptions for options granted during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013:

The basis for the above assumptions are as follows: the dividend rate is based upon the Company’s history of dividends; the risk-free interest rate for periods within the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant; the expected term was calculated based on the Company’s historical pattern of options granted and the period of time they are expected to be outstanding; and expected volatility was calculated based upon historical trends in the Company’s common stock, as well as a peer company’s historical common stock activity.

Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Based on historical experience of forfeitures, the Company estimated forfeitures at 0% for each of the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposure to cash flow, market or foreign currency risk. Terms of convertible promissory note instruments are reviewed to determine whether or not they contain embedded derivative instruments that are required under ASC 815 “Derivative and Hedging” (ASC 815) to be accounted for separately from the host contract, and recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. The fair value of derivative liabilities, if any, is required to be revalued at each reporting date, with corresponding changes in fair value recorded in current period operating results.

Freestanding warrants issued by the Company in connection with the issuance or sale of debt and equity instruments are considered to be derivative instruments and are evaluated and accounted for in accordance with the provisions of ASC 815. Pursuant to ASC 815, an evaluation of specifically identified conditions is made to determine whether fair value of warrants issued is required to be classified as equity or as a derivative liability.

Taxes

Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes resulting from temporary differences. Such temporary differences result from differences in the carrying value of assets and liabilities for tax and financial reporting purposes. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

The Company identifies and evaluates uncertain tax positions, if any, and recognizes the impact of uncertain tax positions for which there is a less than more-likely-than-not probability of the position being upheld when reviewed by the relevant taxing authority. Such positions are deemed to be unrecognized tax benefits and a corresponding liability is established on the balance sheet. The Company has not recognized a liability for uncertain tax positions. If there were an unrecognized tax benefit, the Company would recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. The Company’s remaining open tax years subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service generally remain open for three years from the date of filing.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Disclosure 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 our Chief Financial Officer, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Management has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014. Management’s assessment was based on criteria set forth in Internal Control Integrated Framework (1992), issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, at December 31, 2014, such disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of our disclosure control system are met. Because of inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within a company have been detected. Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were sufficiently effective to provide reasonable assurance that the objectives of our disclosure control system were met.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Internal control over financial reporting is a process, including policies and procedures, designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Our management assessed our internal controls over financial reporting based on the Internal Control Integrated Framework (1992), issued by the COSO. Based on the results of this assessment, our management concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were effective as of December 31, 2014.

Auditor’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with our evaluation that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Proceedings

During the last ten years, none of our officers, directors, promoters or control persons have been involved in any legal proceedings as described in Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K.

Director Independence

We have determined that our board of directors currently has two members who qualify as “independent” as the term is used in Item 407 of Regulation S-K as promulgated by the SEC and as that term is defined under NASDAQ Rule 4200(a)(15). As of the date of this report, Robert W. Schwartz and Thomas E. Turner are our independent directors. On the basis of information solicited from Mr. Schwartz and Mr. Turner, neither has a material relationship with us and is independent within the meaning of such rules.

Board Meetings and Committees; Annual Meeting Attendance

Although we intend to establish an audit committee and compensation committee, our board of directors has not adopted any committees to the board of directors. Our board of directors held three formal meetings during the most recently completed fiscal year. Other proceedings of the board of directors were conducted by resolutions consented to in writing by all the directors and filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the directors. Such resolutions consented to in writing by the directors entitled to vote on that resolution at a meeting of the directors are, according to the corporate laws of the State of New York and our bylaws, as valid and effective as if they had been passed at a meeting of the directors duly called and held.

At each annual meeting of shareholders, directors will be elected by the holders of common stock to succeed those directors whose terms are expiring. Directors will be elected annually and will serve until successors are duly elected and qualified or until a director’s earlier death, resignation or removal. Our bylaws provide that the authorized number of directors may be changed by action of the majority of the board of directors or by a vote of the shareholders of our Company. Vacancies in our board of directors may be filled by a majority vote of the board of directors with such newly appointed director to serve until the next annual meeting of shareholders, unless sooner removed or replaced. We currently do not have a policy regarding the attendance of board members at the annual meeting of shareholders.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a code of ethics that applies to our officers, directors and employees in accordance with applicable federal securities laws. We have filed a copy of our code of ethics as an exhibit to our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed on March 31, 2009. This document may be reviewed by accessing our public filings at the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, a copy of the code of ethics will be provided without charge upon request to us. We intend to disclose any amendments to or waivers of certain provisions of our code of ethics in a Current Report on Form 8-K.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of any publicly traded class of our equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership of our equity securities with the SEC. Officers, directors, and greater than ten percent stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms that they file. Based solely on the reports received and on the representations of the reporting persons, we believe that these persons have complied with all applicable filing requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act during fiscal 2013.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.

Timothy N. Tangredi, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, is a founder and a member of the board of directors of Aegis BioSciences, LLC (“Aegis”). Mr. Tangredi currently owns 52% of Aegis’ outstanding equity and spends approximately one to two days per month on Aegis business for which he is compensated by Aegis. Aegis has two exclusive, world-wide licenses from us under which it has the right to use and sell products containing our polymer technologies in biomedical and health care applications. As a result of a $150,000 payment made by Aegis, the first license is considered fully paid and as such no additional license revenue will be forthcoming. Pursuant to the second license Aegis made an initial one-time payment of $50,000 and is to make royalty payments of 1.5% of the net sales price it receives with respect to any personal hygiene product, surgical drape or clothing products (the latter when employed in medical and animal related fields) and license revenue it receives should Aegis grant a sublicense to a third party. To date Aegis has sold no such products nor has it received any licensing fees requiring a royalty payment be made to us. All obligations for such payments will end on the earlier of June 2, 2015 or upon the aggregate of all sums paid to us by Aegis under the agreement reaching $1 million. The term of each respective license runs for the duration of the patented technology.

The Company rents a building that is owned by two stockholders of the Company, one of which is the Chief Executive Officer. Rent expense for this building is $4,066 per month, including sales tax. The Company recognized rent expense of approximately $49,000 in each of the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. At December 31, 2013, $124,917 was included in accounts payable for amounts owed to these stockholders for rent.

The Company also has accrued compensation due to the Chief Executive Officer as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 of $1,292,410 and $1,254,122, respectively. The Company determined that the balance is a long term liability, as the Company does not believe it will be repaid within the next year. The Company did, however, classify $100,000 as a current liability as The Chief Executive Officer is required to convert $100,000 of the outstanding amount into the Company’s common stock.

The Company also has accrued compensation due to its general counsel, Mr. Tangredi’s wife, for deferred salaries earned and unpaid equal to $400,772 and $418,772 as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. As of December 31, 2013, the Company determined that all of the accrued payroll to its general counsel was a long term liability, as the Company did not believe it would be repaid within the next year. The general counsel, however, retired as of October 10, 2014. The Company has agreed to pay the general counsel on a payment schedule over the next three years with (a) payments of $50,000 on October 17, 2014 and February 15, 2015, (b) 36 monthly payments ranging from $7,000 to $7,500 over the next three years and (c) a $50,772 lump-sum payment on October 17, 2017 if a balance remains. Under certain circumstances, such as completion of a financing or cash flow generating event or a change in control, as defined, the Company would be required to make accelerated payments under the agreement. If the Company defaults on the payment terms it may be required to pay interest and penalties, as defined, to the general counsel. The Company has made $14,000 of payments under this agreement as of December 31, 2014. The entire balance is included in accounts payable and classified as a current liability because the Company believes that there is a strong likelihood it will repay the amount within one year.

On November 25, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement with a related party to borrow $35,000 which is due on demand and bears interest at 6%. The Company paid all interest and principal due under this note on March 7, 2014.

The Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Soex SPA”) with Soex pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell 37.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock, for $1.5 million, at $0.04 per share pursuant to Regulation S. On April 24, 2014, the Company entered into a Distribution Agreement with Soex to distribute certain of the Company’s products in China. The Company was entitled to receive a $500,000 payment, of which $50,000 has been received, that was due on or before October 24, 2014. Soex is in breach of the Distribution Agreement. Sharon Han, General Manager and Chairwoman of Soex, serves on the Company’s board pursuant to the provisions of the Soex SPA.

The above terms and amounts are not necessarily indicative of the terms and amounts that would have been incurred had comparable transactions been entered into with independent parties.

Employment Agreements

In addition we have the following employment agreements with our officers and significant employees:

The Company entered into an amended and restated employment agreement with Mr. Timothy N. Tangredi, our President, Chief Executive Officer, and director, dated as of September 14, 2011. Mr. Tangredi’s employment agreement provides for an initial term of three years commencing on September 14, 2011 with the term extending on the second anniversary thereof for an additional two year period and on each subsequent anniversary of the commencement date for an additional year. Mr. Tangredi’s initial base salary is $200,000. Mr. Tangredi’s base salary shall be increased annually, if applicable, by a sum equal to his current base salary multiplied by one third of the percentage increase in our yearly revenue compared to our prior fiscal year revenue; provided however any annual increase in Mr. Tangredi’s base salary shall not exceed a maximum of 50% for any given year. Any further increase in Mr. Tangredi’s base salary shall be at the sole discretion of our board of directors or compensation committee (if applicable). Additionally, at the discretion of our board of directors and its compensation committee, Mr. Tangredi may be eligible for an annual bonus, if any, of up to 100% of his then-effective base salary, if he meets or exceeds certain annual performance goals established by the board of directors. In addition to this bonus, Mr. Tangredi may be eligible for a separate merit bonus if approved by the board of directors, for specific extraordinary events or achievements such as a sale of a division, major license or distribution arrangement or merger. Mr. Tangredi is entitled to medical, disability and life insurance, as well as four weeks of paid vacation annually, an automobile allowance, reimbursement of all reasonable business expenses, automobile insurance and maintenance, and executive conference or educational expenses.

Under his employment agreement, in addition to any other compensation which he may receive, if we complete a secondary public offering, Mr. Tangredi will be granted an option to purchase up to 520,000 shares of our common stock with an exercise price equal to the fair market value per share on the date of grant. This option will become vested and exercisable in thirds, with one third vested upon grant, another third at the one-year anniversary of the grant, and another third upon the second anniversary of the grant. The option shall have a term of ten years, shall be exercisable for up to three years after termination of employment (unless termination is for cause, in which event it shall expire on the date of termination), shall have a “cashless” exercise feature, and shall be subject to such additional terms and conditions as are then applicable to options granted under such plan provided they do not conflict with the terms set forth in the agreement.

If Mr. Tangredi’s employment is terminated for any reason, we will be obligated to pay him his accrued but unpaid base salary, bonus and accrued vacation pay, and any unreimbursed expenses (“Accrued Sums”).

In addition to any Accrued Sums owed, if Mr. Tangredi’s employment is terminated by us in the event of his disability or without cause or by Mr. Tangredi for good reason, he shall be entitled to:

In addition to any Accrued Sum owed, in the event of termination upon death, Mr. Tangredi shall be entitled to (i) and (iii) above.

In addition to any Accrued Sums owed, in the event that Mr. Tangredi elects to terminate employment within one year following a change in control, he shall receive a lump sum payment equal to the sum of (a) the greater of his then current base salary or $210,000 plus (b) the cash bonus and merit bonus, if any, awarded in the most recent year. In addition, he will be entitled to (ii) and (iii) above.

The employment agreement also contains customary covenants restricting the use of our confidential information and solicitation of employees, which are similarly applicable to our other executive officers. In addition we are obligated to indemnify Mr. Tangredi for any claims made against him in connection with his employment with us, to advance indemnification expenses, and maintain his coverage under our directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy.

Under the employment agreement, we and Mr. Tangredi have agreed that we will retain an independent compensation consultant, which may modify the compensation program for Mr. Tangredi and other officers, subject to certain conditions including approval of the board of directors. Notwithstanding the recommendation and board consideration, Mr. Tangredi has the right to continue the current terms of the employment agreement.

On February 27, 2015, the Company and Mr. Tangredi entered into an amendment to Mr. Tangredi’s Amended and Restated Employment Agreement. Currently, the Company has non-interest bearing accrued compensation due to the Chief Executive Officer for deferred salaries earned and unpaid equal to approximately $1.3 million. The amendment provides that, if at any time during a calendar year, the unpaid compensation is greater than $500,000, Mr. Tangredi must convert $100,000 of unpaid compensation into the Company’s common stock during such calendar year. The conversion rate shall be equal to 75% of the average closing price for the Company’s common stock for the 30 trading days prior to the date of conversion. The Company shall also pay the Mr. Tangredi a cash payment equal to 20% of the compensation income incurred as a result of the conversion. Further, at any time any “person” or “group” (as such terms are used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rules 13(d)-3 and 13(d)-5 under such Act) of greater of 40% of the then-outstanding voting power of Company’s voting equity interests or a person or group initiate a tender offer for the Company’s common stock, Mr. Tangredi may convert unpaid compensation to Class A Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company at $1.50 per share.

Dais Analytic Corporation

Odessa, Florida

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Dais Analytic Corporation (“the Company”) as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal controls over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Dais Analytic Corporation as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Financial Statements 

Years Ended December 31, 2014 and 2013

Note 1. Background Information

Dais Analytic Corporation (the “Company”), a New York corporation, has developed and is commercializing applications using its nano-structure polymer technology. The first commercial product is an energy recovery ventilator (“ERV”) (cores and systems) for use in commercial Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) applications. In addition to direct sales, the Company licenses its nano-structured polymer technology to strategic partners in the aforementioned application and is in various stages of development with regard to other applications employing its base technologies. The Company was incorporated in April of 1993 with its corporate headquarters located in Odessa, Florida.

The Company is dependent on third parties to manufacture the key components needed for our nano-structured based materials and value added products made with these materials. Accordingly, a supplier’s failure to supply components in a timely manner, or to supply components that meet our quality, quantity and cost requirements or our technical specifications, or the inability to obtain alternative sources of these components on a timely basis or on terms acceptable to us, would create delays in production of our products or increase our unit costs of production. Certain of the components contain proprietary products of our suppliers, or the processes used by our suppliers to manufacture these components are proprietary. If we are required to replace any of our suppliers, while we should be able to obtain comparable components from alternative suppliers at comparable costs, this would create a delay in production.

For the year ended December 31, 2014, two customers, Multistack LLC and Soex, accounted for approximately 60% and 27% of the Company’s revenue, respectively. At December 31, 2014, amounts due from these customers were approximately 67% and 0%, respectively, of total accounts receivable. For the year ended December 31, 2013, one customer, Multistack LLC, accounted for approximately 83% of the Company’s revenue. At December 31, 2013, amounts due from this customer were approximately 63% of total accounts receivable. See Note 10 for a discussion of Multistack and the licensing agreement with MG Energy LLC.

Management believes that the Company’s current cash position and its ability to obtain additional sources of cash flow is sufficient to fund its working capital requirements for the next year. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its efforts to secure such additional sources of cash flow. Any failure by us to timely procure additional financing or investment adequate to fund our ongoing operations, including planned product development initiatives and commercialization efforts, may have material adverse consequences on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

The financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 3. Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies followed are:

Use of estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and cash equivalents – For purposes of the Statements of Cash Flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained at financial institutions and, at times, balances may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has never experienced any losses related to these balances.

Accounts receivable - Accounts receivable consist primarily of receivables from the sale of our ERV products and royalties due under license and supply agreements. The Company regularly reviews accounts receivable for any bad debts based on an analysis of the Company’s collection experience, customer credit worthiness, and current economic trends. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance. Based on management’s review of accounts receivable, we have recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $739 and $831 at December 31, 2014 and 2013.

Other receivables - Accounts receivable consist primarily of receivables from the U.S. Department of Defense and the U.S. Department of Energy ARPA-E grant program (See Note 3- Research and development expenses, and grant proceeds). The Company prepares invoices as it meets grant program milestones. Based on management’s review of other receivables, management has determined that no allowance for uncollectibilty is necessary at December 31, 2014 and 2013.

Inventory - Inventory consists of raw materials and work-in-process and is stated at the lower of cost, determined by first-in, first-out method, or market. Market is determined based on the net realizable value, with appropriate consideration given to obsolescence, excessive levels, deterioration and other factors. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had $5,325 and $78,240 of in-process inventory, respectively. A reserve is recorded for any inventory deemed excessive or obsolete. No reserve is considered necessary at December 31, 2014 and 2013.

Property and equipment - Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from 3 to 7 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their estimated useful lives of 5 years or the related lease life. Depreciation expense was approximately $41,600 and $84,300 the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Gains and losses upon disposition are reflected in the statement of operations in the period of disposition. Maintenance and repair expenditures are charged to expense as incurred.

Intangible assets - Identified intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company’s existing intangible assets consist solely of patents. Patents are amortized over their estimated useful or economic lives of 17 to 20 years. Patent amortization expense was approximately $25,400 and $22,400 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Based on current capitalized costs, total patent amortization expense is estimated to be approximately $18,000 per year for the next five years and $23,000 thereafter.

Long-lived assets - Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the book value of the asset may not be recoverable. The Company periodically evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate possible impairment. When impairment indicators exist, the Company uses market quotes, if available or an estimate of the future undiscounted net cash flows of the related asset or asset group over the remaining life in measuring whether or not the asset values are recoverable. During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company recognized $0 and $2,672, respectively, in impairment costs.

Government Grants -Grants are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and that any conditions associated with the grant will be met. When grants are received related to property and equipment, the Company reduces the basis of the assets on the balance sheet, resulting in lower depreciation expense over the life of the associated asset. Grants received related to expenses are reflected as a reduction of the associated expense in the period in which the expense is incurred.

The contract is not conditioned upon a contribution from the Company. For the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company recognized approximately $88,000 under this contract as a reduction to research and development expense.

Stock issuance costs - Stock issuance costs are recorded as a reduction of the related proceeds through a charge to stockholders’ equity.

Common stock - The Company records common stock issuances when all of the legal requirements for the issuance of such common stock have been satisfied.

Revenue recognition - Generally, the Company recognizes revenue for its products upon shipment to customers, provided no significant obligations remain and collection is probable.

The limited warranty includes replacement of defective parts for the ConsERV system, and includes workmanship and material failure for the ConsERV core. The Company has recorded an accrual of approximately $91,500 and $92,100 for future warranty expenses at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, which is included in the line item for accrued expenses, other.

Revenue derived from the sale of licenses is deferred and recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the life of the license, or until the license arrangement is terminated. Royalties are recognized as earned. The Company recognized revenue of $121,935 and $189,100, respectively, from license agreements for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. The Company recognized revenue of $60,000 and $26,512, respectively, from royalties for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.

The Company accounts for revenue arrangements with multiple elements under the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 605-25, "Revenue Recognition—Multiple-Element Arrangements," In order to account for these agreements, the Company must identify the deliverables included within the agreement and evaluate which deliverables represent separate units of accounting based on if certain criteria are met, including whether the delivered element has stand-alone value to the licensee. The consideration received is allocated among the separate units of accounting, and the applicable revenue recognition criteria are applied to each of the separate units.

Note 3. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Stock based compensation - The Company recognizes all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, as compensation expense in the financial statements based on their fair values. That expense will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period).

The value of each grant is estimated at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option model with the following assumptions for options granted during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013:

The basis for the above assumptions are as follows: the dividend rate is based upon the Company’s history of dividends; the risk-free interest rate for periods within the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant; the expected term was calculated based on the Company’s historical pattern of options granted and the period of time they are expected to be outstanding; and expected volatility was calculated based upon historical trends in the Company’s common stock, as well as a peer company’s historical common stock activity.

Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Based on historical experience of forfeitures, the Company estimated forfeitures at 0% for each of the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.

Non-employee stock-based compensation - The Company’s accounting policy for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services follows the provisions of ASC 505-50 Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees. Stock-based compensation related to non-employees is accounted for based on the fair value of the related stock or options or the fair value of the services, whichever is more readily determinable. The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant or vendor’s performance is complete. In the case of equity instruments issued to consultants, the fair value of the equity instrument is recognized over the term of the consulting agreement.

The fair value of stock options issued to consultants in 2014 was calculated using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: Expected life in years: 3 years; Estimated volatility 177%; Risk-free interest rate: 0.2%; Dividend yield: 0%.The fair value of stock options issued to consultants in 2013 was calculated using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: Expected life in years: 2 years; Estimated volatility 165%; Risk-free interest rate: 0.26%; Dividend yield: 0%. The Company recognized $11,809 and $19,105 of compensation expense for stock options issued to consultants during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Note 3. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Financial instruments - The Company accounts for financial instruments in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (ASC 820). ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

The Company does not have any level 1, 2 or 3 financial instruments. The respective carrying values of certain on-balance sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. These financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable, accrued compensation and accrued expenses. The fair value of the Company’s related party note payable is estimated based on current rates that would be available for debt of similar terms which is not significantly different from its stated value.

Income taxes - Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes resulting from temporary differences. Such temporary differences result from differences in the carrying value of assets and liabilities for tax and financial reporting purposes. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

The Company identifies and evaluates uncertain tax positions, if any, and recognizes the impact of uncertain tax positions for which there is a less than more-likely-than-not probability of the position being upheld when reviewed by the relevant taxing authority. Such positions are deemed to be unrecognized tax benefits and a corresponding liability is established on the balance sheet. The Company has not recognized a liability for uncertain tax positions. If there were an unrecognized tax benefit, the Company would recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. The Company’s remaining open tax years subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service generally remain open for three years from the date of filing.

Note 3. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Derivative Financial Instruments - The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposure to cash flow, market or foreign currency risk. Terms of convertible promissory note instruments are reviewed to determine whether or not they contain embedded derivative instruments that are required under ASC 815 “Derivative and Hedging” (ASC 815) to be accounted for separately from the host contract, and recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. The fair value of derivative liabilities, if any, is required to be revalued at each reporting date, with corresponding changes in fair value recorded in current period operating results.

Freestanding warrants issued by the Company in connection with the issuance or sale of debt and equity instruments are considered to be derivative instruments and are evaluated and accounted for in accordance with the provisions of ASC 815. Pursuant to ASC 815, an evaluation of specifically identified conditions is made to determine whether fair value of warrants issued is required to be classified as equity or as a derivative liability.

Earnings (loss) per share - Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted income (loss) per share is computed giving effect to all potentially dilutive common shares. Potentially dilutive common shares may consist of incremental shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants and the conversion of notes payable to common stock. In periods in which a net loss has been incurred, all potentially dilutive common shares are considered anti-dilutive and thus are excluded from the calculation. Common share equivalents of 36,796,512 and 39,365,082 were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, because their effect is anti-dilutive.

The following sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net earnings (loss) per common share for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements.

There are new accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") which are not yet effective. Management does not believe any of these accounting pronouncements will have a material impact on the Company's financial position or operating results.

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-09), which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing U.S. GAAP.

The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods therein, using either of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures). The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on its financial statements and has not yet determined the method by which it will adopt the standard in 2017.

Aegis has two exclusive, world-wide licenses from us under which it has the right to use and sell products containing our polymer technologies in biomedical and health care applications. As a result of a $150,000 payment made by Aegis, the first license is considered fully paid and as such no additional license revenue will be forthcoming. Pursuant to the second license Aegis made an initial one-time payment of $50,000 and is to make royalty payments of 1.5% of the net sales price it receives with respect to any personal hygiene product, surgical drape or clothing products (the latter when employed in medical and animal related fields) and license revenue it receives should Aegis grant a sublicense to a third party. To date Aegis has sold no such products nor has it received any licensing fees requiring a royalty payment be made to us. All obligations for such payments will end on the earlier of June 2, 2015 or upon the aggregate of all sums paid to us by Aegis under the agreement reaching $1 million. The term of each respective license runs for the duration of the patented technology.

The Company also has accrued compensation due to the Chief Executive Officer as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 of $1,292,410 and $1,254,122, respectively. The Company determined that the balance is a long term liability, as the Company does not believe it will be repaid within the next year. The Company did, however, classify $100,000 as a current liability in accounts payable at December 31, 2014 as The Chief Executive Officer is required to convert $100,000 of the outstanding amount into the Company’s common stock.

The Company also has accrued compensation due to its general counsel, Mr. Tangredi’s wife, for deferred salaries earned and unpaid equal to $400,772 and $418,772 as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. As of December 31, 2013, the Company determined that all of the accrued payroll to its general counsel was a long term liability, as the Company did not believe it would be repaid within the next year. The general counsel, however, retired as of October 10, 2014. The Company has agreed to pay the general counsel on a payment schedule over the next three years with (a) payments of $50,000 on October 17, 2014 and February 15, 2015, (b) 36 monthly payments ranging from $7,000 to $7,500 over the next three years and (c) a $50,772 lump-sum payment on October 17, 2017 if a balance remains. Under certain circumstances, such as completion of a financing or cash flow generating event or a change in control, as defined, the Company would be required to make accelerated payments under the agreement. If the Company defaults on the payment terms it may be required to pay interest and penalties, as defined, to the general counsel. The Company has made $14,000 of payments under this agreement as of December 31, 2014. The entire balance is included in accounts payable and classified as a current liability because the Company believes that there is a strong likelihood it will repay the amount within one year.

On November 25, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement with a related party to borrow $35,000 which is due on demand and bears interest at 6%. The Company paid all interest and principal due under this note on March 7, 2014.
