ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

Throughout this document we use the following terms: Aqualyte^TM, ConsERV^TM, NanoClear^TM, PolyCool^TM and NanoAir^TM, all of which are unregistered trademarks of the Company.

Overview

Dais Corporation (“Dais”, “us,” “we,”, the “Company”) is a nano-structured polymer technology materials company having developed and now commercializing products 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. The second commercial product is 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. We continue to develop other nano-structured polymer technology applications in HVAC/Refrigeration, energy, food services and waste water treatment industries.

Corporate History

We were incorporated as a New York corporation on April 8, 1993 as Dais Corporation. The Company was formed to develop new, cost-effective polymer materials for various applications, including providing a lower cost membrane material for Polymer Electrolyte Membrane 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, the Company purchased the assets of Analytic Power Corporation, a corporation founded in 1984 to provide design, analysis, and systems integration services in the field of fuel cells, fuel processors, and integrated fuel cell power systems. Subsequently, on December 13, 1999, the Company changed its name to Dais Analytic Corporation.

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

In November of 2018 the board of directors unanimously voted to change the name of the Company from Dais Analytic Corporation to Dais Corporation (the “Name Change”). The Name Change took effect with FINRA on February 27, 2019.

Our Technology

We use proprietary nanotechnology to reformulate thermoplastic materials called polymers. Nanotechnology involves studying and working with matter on an ultra-small scale. 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 call this specialized material Aqualyte.

Our Products

Aqualyte^TM

Aqualyte membrane is the foundation of the Dais product line. It is made from commercially available polymer resin in flake form and industrial grade solvents which 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. Our process changes the molecular properties of the starting polymer resins such that in their final form they selectively allow molecules through the plastic, including water molecules.

The Company invented and patented a disruptive platform plastic material technology called Aqualyte with carefully tailored properties for use in air, energy and water applications. This modified block co-polymer membrane with a nanoscale structure serves as the foundation of the Dais product line. It is a non-porous nanomaterial that selectively and efficiently transports moisture through a solid membrane and blocks passage of most gases and volatile compounds. The membrane is robust and durable with no pores to clog and no bacterial or fungal growth. We began selling Aqualyte in 2018 to strategic customers and continue to have growing sales of Aqualyte. We project even further growth in this area in the fourth quarter of 2018 and beyond.

The Company continues to develop next generation versions of our Aqualyte material by adding new features to, and improving the manufacturability, of the nanomaterial. These and other improvements allow Aqualyte to serve a wider variety of uses in the ConsERV and NanoClear target markets. Aqualyte is the underlying technology for our family of products, including ConsERV, fixed-plate Energy Recovery Ventilators (ERVs), and NanoClear, a high-performance contaminated water cleaning process. Aqualyte represents the basis for a broad class of materials with unique features precisely managed by engineered processes. Features of the Aqualyte technology include the ability to create hermetic composite membranes possessing ion conduction, high moisture transfer and high molecular selectivity. Our engineering process manages these features to offer differentiated products like ConsERV and NanoClear that are targeting worldwide needs in the clean air, energy efficiency and clean water markets.

The Company sells Aqualyte to companies that use the product to manufacture value-added components and systems that take advantage of its characteristics.  In 2017, Dais signed a multi-year agreement with The Haier Group (the “Haier Supply Agreement” described below) that led to increased sales of Aqualyte to Haier for use in their products during 2018 and projected to grow in 2019 and beyond.  In addition, during 2018, Dais sold Aqualyte to multiple customers for use in ventilation and HVAC uses. These sales are expected to continue in 2019.

ConsERV^TM

We continue widening the channels of commercialization for the 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 nanotechnology polymer which has been formed into a full enthalpy heat exchanger core. The nanotechnology 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.

ConsERV sales were negatively impacted at the beginning of 2017 from the December 2016 termination of the licensing agreement with Multistack LLC which required minimum monthly purchases of cores and related products by Multistack LLC and related entities. The Company is working diligently to re-set ConsERV sales in the effected North American market with initiatives aimed at the architect/engineer specified sales channels as well as establishing relationships with key regional sales channels. It is believed revenues will begin to grow from this intense effort throughout 2018 and 2019.

In 2018, the Company began selling its ConsERV cores and systems directly to representatives across North America. The Company negotiated exclusive arrangements with representatives in multiple regions across the US. We also continued discussions with several companies in the European Union interested in buying and distributing ConsERV cores and systems. To help us expand our capabilities in China, we have qualified a Chinese manufacturing company to produce ConsERV cores using Aqualyte membrane made in the U.S. and guided by Dais qualified manufacturing practices to meet the growing demand for ConsERV systems in Australia and South East Asia.

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.

NanoClear^TM

We have commercially introduced the first NanoClear membrane evaporators for pilot testing, which remove quantities of metals, acids, salt and other impurities from various contaminated water sources, producing potable water using an environmentally friendly, low maintenance design that is competitive with industry leaders in terms of electrical consumption. We constructed and operate a pilot plant installed at a local county waste water treatment facility that was commissioned in May 2013 and updated to the current generation of membrane evaporator in November 2016. This site has served as a showcase for potential commercial customers as well as a test-bed for newer materials and hardware readying for commercialization. The accumulated test data, analyzed by an independent 3rd party firm, shows the quality of the water being produced has not diminished since system start-up. The evolving NanoClear product line purifies contaminated water, created largely during cooling of key manufacturing and utility processes. These sorts of applications are the Company’s primary focus. This includes higher salt concentrations and low pH waste streams.

Development efforts on a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, $1,000,000, Phase II Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) award continued throughout 2018 to develop NanoClear water cleaning technology for military use. The NanoClear funding project titled "Non-Fouling Water Reuse Technologies" uses our patented Aqualyte membrane to produce potable water from grey-water sources. The potential product improvements from this award will widen NanoClear’s applications in separating clean water from contaminated waste streams.

We received orders for delivery of our NanoClear industrial waste water cleaning product for pilot evaluations in multiple industries throughout 2018. The product’s core strength, supported by Company, customer, and third party generated information, is its ability to cleanup contaminated waste water created by a variety of manufacturing processes.

The Company participated in several large water industry trade shows, including the June 2018 Qingdao International Conference and the September 2018 international WEFTEC expo in New Orleans.

PolyCool^TM

PolyCool is a product in development and is believed to offer strategic advantages over existing cooling tower systems. The process water being cooled is separated from the air stream by a solid Aqualyte nanotechnology membrane that establishes a selective barrier, allowing evaporation of water molecules while preventing transmission of microbes and other contaminants. In effect, the process water is isolated in a largely closed system (similar to dry cooling technology) and initial testing shows it reduces the likelihood of dangerous germs and viruses such as Legionella becoming airborne. In-house testing has shown the ability to generate cooling effects comparable to today’s existing cooling towers while largely isolating the process water from the air stream.

PolyCool systems are expected to use up to 32% less energy than a conventional cooling tower while reducing or eliminating the need for expensive chemical biocide application programs to prevent the spread of risk of spreading dangerous diseases. We believe these savings can reduce the operating expenses of a cooling tower by up 74% versus conventional technology. The demonstrated ability of Aqualyte™ to resist fouling and operate with dissolved solids levels up to 25% salinity allows PolyCool™ technology to operate with seawater, brine, or other forms of wastewater instead of consuming potable water as with conventional evaporative cooling technologies. This advantage expands the applicability of evaporative cooling into geographic regions that are suffering from water scarcity or stress. In addition, the dramatic reduction in maintenance and safety issues allows use of PolyCool™ in smaller installations with correspondingly smaller maintenance budgets and less risk tolerance, which conventionally use less energy efficient dry cooling instead of evaporative cooling.

In the quarter ending September 30, 2018, Dais initiated a new PolyCool™ evaporative condenser product as part of a two-part license agreement with the Haier Group, located in Qingdao, China. This innovative product uses the evaporation of water through an Aqualyte™ membrane to enhance the performance of refrigerant condensers Haier sells currently. The product is moving into field testing with deployment into Haier’s sales channels throughout Greater China as early as the last quarter of 2019.

Given the results of PolyCool we began speaking with leaders in the world-wide cooling tower industry seeking to quality a strategic OEM partner to move ahead with Dais to bring this evolutionary product to market addressing multiple industry needs.

Strategic Partnerships

The Company recently (September 2018) announced that we entered into a second definitive two-part, license agreement with the Haier Group of Qingdao, China for a new product for Haier’s HVAC cooling systems. The new product is anticipated to have a significant revenue impact for Dais, projected to be $73 million or more annually when successfully field tested and fully deployed. Revenues for Dais could begin as early as the last quarter of 2019. The product is an innovative PolyCool™ condensing unit being incorporated into a commercial Haier cooling line that is planned to be deployed into Haier’s Greater China sales and distribution channels.

In July of 2017, Dais first entered into a multi-year, exclusive license agreement with the Haier Group to provide its Aqualyte nanomaterials for use in select refrigeration products. This first agreement has already generated increasing quarterly revenue for Dais and should continue to expand with full roll‑out expected by mid-2019. Dais projects this first agreement alone for refrigeration products should ultimately generate over $10 million in annual revenues. Haier’s use of Dais’s Aqualyte material follows a growing world-wide trend reported by Market Insight Reports (July 18, 2018) that states global adoption of mature nanotechnology materials continues to grow and is on track to reach $90.5 billion by 2021 from $39.2 billion in 2016 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.2%, from 2016 to 2021. Dais was listed as one of the companies by Market Insight Reports along with BASF, Bayer AG, Dow Chemical, and others.

Also, in July 2017, we signed a 7-year, non-exclusive agreement with the Menred Group, China, to provide our Aqualyte moisture transfer nanomaterial for us in a new line of Menred energy recovery ventilators (ERV) to be sold in the growing Chinese HVAC market. This is projected to yield over $1.2 million in sales in 2019.

We continue to explore new opportunities with several companies in North America, the European Union and China interested in buying and distributing ConsERV cores, Aqualyte membrane, NanoClear and PolyCool modules. To help us expand our capabilities in China, we have qualified several Chinese manufacturing companies to produce materials and components for us, guided by Dais qualified manufacturing practices to meet the growing demand for products in China and the U.S. Having components manufactured in Asia supports our objective of expanding our distribution in the Asian market at projected lower costs and faster order fulfillment. 

Orders are already being generated from these agreements, and we expect them to increase as we expand and add new strategic partnerships along the way. The new orders include sales of nanomaterials and components for NanoClear industrial waste water treatment, and ConsERV for heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC). We expect these new orders to convert to increase in revenue later this year, as we address expansion in our supply chain to scale-up production of our proprietary products. 

Our Patents

We own the rights to fourteen U.S. patents, four Chinese patents, one Hong Kong patent, two U.S. patent applications, and five Patent Cooperation Treaty (“PCT”) applications. National stage applications based on one of the PCT applications have resulted in a patent being issued in the U.S., China, and Hong Kong. National stage applications based on a second PCT application have resulted in a patent being issued in both the U.S. and China. National stage applications based on a third PCT application have resulted in the issuance of a U.S. patent with a further application pending in Hong Kong. National stage applications based on the remaining two PCT applications have resulted in the issuance of two U.S. patents. Divisional applications based on two of the above mentioned PCT applications have been filed in China and Hong Kong. National stage applications based on the co-owned PCT application have resulted in one U.S. patent. 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:

The company also owns multiple utility patents that cover inventions that are new, improvements and useful processes including the design and fabrication of devices or approaches that use properties of the polymers described above for HVAC, energy, food preservation and water treatment applications.

Intellectual Property

As stated above, we own fourteen U.S. patents, three Chinese patents, one Hong Kong patent and co-own one additional U.S patent. These patents cover 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: 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:

Patents may or may not be granted on any of the above applications. 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

The Company currently assembles ConsERV and NanoClear cores and modules while Aqualyte fabrication is outsourced. For future expansion and high-volume scale-up, the Company has made solid progress in 2018 to establish a robust supply chain with strategic partners having existing multiple channel access to markets – or with qualified outsourced firms. We use a blended “out-sourced – in-house” model for material, component and assembly needs. 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 from alternative suppliers. Purchases to date of raw materials and related services have been on a purchase order basis using non-disclosure agreements.

Customers and Suppliers

For Aqualyte membrane the Company has signed a license agreement with Haier for use in crisper drawers in new refrigerators. We also entered into an agreement with Aperia Solutions (www.aperia.com) to provide membrane for use as a tire inflation product in North America and Europe. We are providing Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) with Aqualyte membrane for use in Energy Recovery Ventilators and other industrial applications. For ConsERV the Company has a multi-year license agreement with Menred to increase the market in China while we are working with North American OEMs to provide full systems and cores to end users through sales representatives. For NanoClear, the Company is working with third party turnkey providers to build and operate fully functional systems for pilot testing of the treatment of industrial waste water. We are dependent on third parties to manufacture the key components needed for our nano-structured based materials and of the value-added products made with these materials. We require our suppliers to provide components in a timely manner, and to meet the Company’s quality, quantity and cost requirements or technical specifications with acceptable terms. Certain of the components or the processes of the Company’s suppliers are proprietary. If the Company was ever required to replace any of its suppliers, it should be able to obtain comparable components from alternative suppliers at comparable costs, but this would create delays in production.

Research and Development

Expenditures for research, development and engineering of products are expensed as incurred. We incurred research and development costs of $318,358 and $467,524 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. We account for proceeds received from government funding for research as a reduction in research and development costs. We recorded proceeds against research and development expenses on the Statements of Operations of $64,894 and $150,912 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Sales and Marketing Strategies

We 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, we are discussing relationships for use of our ConsERV products in other applications outside of energy recovery ventilation world-wide.

The Company is focused on creating alliances with companies having strong, existing channel presence or expertise in the target industries, notably for ConsERV and NanoClear. We are using the data and experience of initial sales in the China market to focus on growing NanoClear revenues in North America. We intend to bring industry seasoned talent into the Company at the appropriate time to further drive market development, revenue growth and guide future product feature improvement needs.

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. Armed with the growing base of operational and third-party data this education process will become routine.

There are a number of companies located in the U.S., Canada, Europe and Asia that have been developing and selling technologies and products in the energy recovery industry as listed below. 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.) and 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.

The unique characteristics of our NanoClear product means we produce very pure water (TDS <10ppm) with a single module with little or no fouling of the Aqualyte material. Competitors require multiple processes to obtain similar water purity levels and frequent cleaning procedures such as back flushing to remove fouling buildup. The requirement for multiple processes and the tendency to foul increase capital expenditures and operating costs for our competitors and limit the markets where they can potentially be applied relative to NanoClear.

Working with Chinese early adopters of NanoClear systems is allowing us to leverage our experience with customers in the United States and elsewhere around the world projected to aid in more quickly growing long term sustainable revenues.

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, 2018, we employed 12 full-time employees. None of the employees are subject to a collective bargaining agreement. We consider our relations with our employees to be good.

On April 24, 2014, the Company entered into a Distribution Agreement (the “Soex Distribution Agreement”) with SoEX (Hong Kong) Industry & Investment Co., Ltd., a Hong Kong corporation (“Soex”). The Soex Distribution Agreement was a covenant included in a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated January 21, 2014, between the Company and Soex, pursuant to which Soex purchased 37,500,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, equal to approximately 31% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock as of December 31, 2016. Pursuant to the Soex Distribution Agreement, in exchange for $500,000 to be paid by October 20, 2014, royalty payments and a commitment from Soex to purchase nano-material membrane and other products from the Company, Soex obtained the right to distribute and market our products for incorporation in energy recovery ventilators sold and installed in commercial, industrial and residential buildings, transportation facilities and vehicles in mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan (the “Soex Distribution Territory”). Further, Soex received an exclusive license in the Territory to use our intellectual property in the manufacture and sale of its products and to purchase its requirements of nano-material membrane only from the Company. During 2014, $50,000 of the $500,000 license fee was received from Soex. Pursuant to the Soex Distribution Agreement, Soex was required to pay the Company $500,000, issue to it 25% of the equity of a newly-created company, Soex (Beijing) Environmental Protection Technology Company Limited and pay us royalties. Soex only paid us $50,000 of the required $500,000, did not issue the required equity and did not pay any required royalties. Effective June 12, 2015, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) ratified the termination of the Soex Distribution Agreement, due to the breaches by Soex.

In 2015 the Company commenced an action (the “Soex Litigation) for the cancellation of the 37,500,000 shares issued to Soex (the “Soex Shares”) in connection with the Soex Securities Purchase Agreement, and for the cancellation of the 3,750,000 shares (the “Zan Shares”) issued to Zan Investment Advisory Limited (“Zan”), an affiliate of Soex through Aifan Liu, who was appointed as a Company board observer by Soex and her husband, Xinghong Hua. Sharon Han, General Manager and Chairwoman of Soex, served on the Board pursuant to the provisions of the Soex Securities Purchase Agreement. Ms. Han resigned from the Board effective February 1, 2016.

Pursuant to the Soex Distribution Agreement, Soex is in material breach of the following:

As a result of the above, we terminated the Soex Distribution Agreement. As provided in Section 14(e) of the Soex Distribution Agreement, the Company has the right to enforce any obligation due to us by Soex. As a result, Soex still must (a) pay the remaining $450,000 due under the Distribution Agreement and the amount of Royalties due, plus interest at 1.5% per month (18% per year) with interest accruing from the date that payment was due and (b) issue to us 25% of the equity of SOEX (Beijing) Environmental Protection Technology Company Limited. As provided in Section 14(b), neither us nor Soex shall be liable for compensation, reimbursement or damages due to loss of profits on sales or anticipated sales or losses due to expenditures, investments or commitments made or in connection with the establishment, development or maintenance of the business.

The Soex Litigation was moved to the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida where Soex has instituted a counterclaim (Civil Docket Case #: 8:15-CV-02362-MSS-EAJ). On September 19, 2018, a pre-trial conference was held in Tampa finding a trial date set for October 22, 2018. The trial for the original case was held between October 22 and 24, 2018. The jury at the conclusion of the trial did not award monetary damages to either party for claims or counterclaims.

On October 24, 2018, the Company initiated a third law suit against an affiliate of Soex, Zhongshan Trans-Tech New Material Technology Co. Ltd. Zhongshan, China, (“Transtech”), and the Chairperson of the affiliate and Soex, based on new information learned by the Company. The Company will seek maximum relief and damages for this on-gong and growing illegal misuse the Company’s Intellectual Property. The Company feels this third action will lead to a judgment in favor of the Company.

Equity Compensation Plan Information

The following table sets forth information regarding our 2000 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2000 Plan”), 2009 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2009 Plan”) and 2015 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”) under which our securities are authorized for issuance as of December 31, 2018:

In June 2000 and November 2009, the Board adopted, and the 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. Certain awards under the Plans may be subject to performance conditions. The Board of Directors approved and made available 11,093,886 and 15,000,000 shares of common stock to be issued pursuant to the 2000 Plan and the 2009 Plan, respectively. On February 27, 2015, the shareholders approved the Dais Analytic Corporation 2015 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”). The number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 2015 Plan is 10,000,000. The 2015 Plan authorizes the grant to eligible individuals of (1) Stock Options (Incentive and Non-Qualified), (2) Restricted Stock, (3) Stock Appreciation Rights, or SARs, (4) Restricted Stock Units, (5) Other Stock-Based Awards, and (6) Cash-Based Awards.

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. 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. 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.

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.

Under the 2015 Plan, awards which were not previously exercisable and vested may not be accelerated due to a change of control unless the Optionee’s employment is involuntarily terminated as a result of the change of control. A change of control shall be deemed to occur upon the consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into any other entity that results in the transfer of 50% of the combined voting power to the new party, 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 50% 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.

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. Our board of directors may grant common share purchase options or warrants to selected directors, officers, employees, consultants and advisors in payment of goods or services provided by such persons on a stand-alone basis outside of any of our Plans. The terms of these grants may be individually negotiated.

ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA.

Not Applicable.

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

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 Annual Report. This discussion and analysis contain 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 nanostructure 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. We will expand our push to sell ConsERV product domestically and internationally. Growing emphasis is being actively placed on the NanoClear product to generate another revenue stream as a commercially available membrane evaporator given its functionality, and differentiation in the worldwide water market.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Year Ended December 31, 2018 as compared with December 31, 2017

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

Revenue

We generate our revenues primarily from the sale of our ConsERV cores, our Aqualyte membrane, and NanoClear membrane evaporators. Product sales were $1,331,251 and $381,590 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, an increase of $949,661 or 248%. The increase in product sales resulted from a 43% increase in ConsERV sales, and a 95% increase in NanoClear sales along with introduction of the Aqualyte membrane in 2018. We are focusing on creating sustainable revenues with the expectation that this will allow for continued growth in 2019.

Revenues from royalty and license fees were $50,000 and $1,344 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively an increase of $48,656 or 3,600% primarily due to the recognition of license fees for the new license agreement with Menred as of December 2017.

Cost of Sales

Our cost of sales consists primarily of materials (including freight), direct labor, and outsourced manufacturing expenses incurred to produce our ConsERV cores, NanoClear evaporators and Aqualyte membrane. Cost of goods sold were $921,394 and $312,547 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, an increase of $608,847 or 195% resulting from an increase in number of units sold in 2018.

Research and Development

Expenditures for research, development and engineering of products are expensed as incurred. We incurred research and development costs of $318,358 and $467,524 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, a decrease of $149,166 or 32%. We account for proceeds received from government funding for research as a reduction in research and development costs. We recorded proceeds against research and development expenses on the Statements of Operations of $64,894 and $150,912 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, a decrease of $86,018 or 57%. The fluctuation in expenses and reimbursements are due to the timing of the grant activities. 

Selling, General and Administrative

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 $1,862,024 and $2,208,887 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, a decrease of $346,863 or 16%. 

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

The 16% decrease in selling general and administrative expenses in the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017 resulted from varying marketing, professional services, and travel costs offset by lower payroll fees, recruiting fees and insurance fees.

Other Income (Expense)

Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2018 was $1,396,468 compared to an expense of $1,554,803 for the year ended December 31, 2017. This was offset by a change in fair value of derivative that increased to $322,383 from $134,289 from 2017 to 2018 and a decrease in gain on extinguishing debt from $696,261 in 2017 to $349,721 in 2018.

Net Loss

Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2018 was $3,024,761 compared to a net loss of $3,447,943 for the year ended December 31, 2017. The decrease in net loss in 2018 was a result of primarily due to higher gross margins for product sales in 2018.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern. For the year ended December 31, 2018, we generated a net loss of $3,024,761 and have incurred significant losses since inception. As of December 31, 2018, we have an accumulated deficit of $50,137,190, total stockholders' deficit of $6,801,397, negative working capital of $7,014,439 and cash and cash equivalents of $29,300. We used $1,069,228 and $870,428 of cash from operations during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, which was funded primarily through proceeds from loans from related parties and equity financings. There is no assurance that such financing will be available in the future.

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is directly linked to our ability to obtain additional sources of cash flow sufficient to fund our working capital requirements. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in our efforts to secure such additional sources of product revenue or capital. Any failure by us to timely procure additional financing or investment adequate to fund our ongoing operations, including planned or currently underway product development initiatives and commercialization efforts, may have material adverse consequences on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. 

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 us. 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, 2018 were $29,300 compared to $122,036 as of December 31, 2017. Cash is primarily used to fund our working capital requirements. 

Net cash used by operating activities was $1,069,228 and $870,428 during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017. Although, there was a lower net loss in the year ended December 31, 2018, greater cash was used by operating activities in 2018 as a result of increased cost of goods, accounts payable and accounts receivable.

Net cash used by investing activities was $59,844 and $21,177 for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017, driven primarily by increases in patent spending in 2018. 

Net cash provided by financing activities was $1,036,336 for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to $992,575 for the same period in 2017. The difference is an increase in debt proceeds in 2018.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The preparation of the accompanying financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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:

Revenue Recognition

Generally, we recognize revenue for 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 us. The distributor of the ConsERV system 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. We have recorded an accrual of $91,531 for future warranty expenses on December 31, 2018, which is included in accrued expenses, other.

Revenue derived from the sale of licenses is deferred and recognized as license fee revenue on a straight-line basis over the life of the license, or until the license arrangement is terminated. We recognized license fee revenue of $50,000 and $1,344 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Royalties are recognized as earned. We recognized royalty revenue of $0 and $0 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

The Company has adopted the new revenue recognition guidelines in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606), commencing from the period under this report. The Company analyzes its contracts to assess that they are within the scope and in accordance with ASC 606. In determining the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as the Company fulfills its obligations under each of its agreements, whether for goods and services or licensing, the Company performs the following steps: (i) identification of the promised goods or services in the contract; (ii) determination of whether the promised goods or services are performance obligations including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; (iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations based on estimated selling prices; and (v) recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation. The Company acts as a principal in its revenue transactions as the Company is the primary obligor in the transactions. Generally, the Company recognizes revenue for its products upon shipment to customers, provided no significant obligations remain and collection is probable.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable consist primarily of receivables from the sale of our ERV products and NanoClear systems. We regularly review accounts receivables for any bad debts based on an analysis of our 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, an allowance for doubtful accounts of $0 and $0 has been recorded at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Impairment of Long-Lived and Intangible 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. We periodically evaluate whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate possible impairment. When impairment indicators exist, we use 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. We did not recognize impairment on its long-lived assets during the years ended December 31, 2018 or 2017.

Identified intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Our existing intangible assets consist solely of patents. Patents are amortized over their estimated useful or economic lives of 17 years. Patent amortization expense was $21,508 and $19,499 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Based on current capitalized costs, total patent amortization expense is estimated to be approximately $17,000 per year for the next five years and thereafter.

Stock-Based Compensation

We recognize 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) or immediately if the share-based payments vest immediately.

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, 2018 and 2017:

The basis for the above assumptions are as follows: the dividend rate is based upon our 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 our 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 our common stock.

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, we estimated forfeitures at 0% for each of the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.

Derivative Financial Instruments

We do 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 us 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.

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.

We identify and evaluate uncertain tax positions, if any, and recognize 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. We have not recognized a liability for uncertain tax positions. If there were an unrecognized tax benefit, we would recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. The Company’s 2015-2018 tax years remain open and subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act)). Management has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018. Management’s assessment was based on criteria set forth in Internal Control Integrated Framework (2013), issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

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 not effective to provide reasonable assurance that the objectives of our disclosure control system were met as a result of limited resources, and a lack of segregation of duties.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our 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. Based on the results of this assessment, our management concluded that the Company's existing internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as defined in Rule 12a-15(f) under the Exchange act as of December 31, 2018 as a result of limited resources, and a lack of segregation of duties.

Auditor’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our 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, 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION.

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.

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 year 2018.

ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.

Beneficial Ownership Information

The following table sets forth information as of the date of March 27, 2019, as to each person or group who is known to us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our outstanding voting securities and as to the security and percentage ownership of each of our executive officers and directors and of all of our officers and directors as a group.

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. Pursuant to the second license, Aegis is required 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. Aegis sold no such products nor has it received any licensing fees requiring a royalty payment be made to us. All obligations for such payments ended on June 2, 2015.

We rent a building that is owned by two of our stockholders, one of which is the Chief Executive Officer. Rent expense for this building is $4,066 per month, including sales tax. We recognized rent expense related to this lease of $56,760 in the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

We have accrued compensation due to the Chief Executive Officer as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 of $1,772,623 and $1,631,147, respectively, included in accrued compensation and related benefits in the balance sheets.

On June 24, 2016, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (“Security Agreement”) with Patricia Tangredi (the “Holder”) pursuant to which the Company issued a Senior Secured Promissory Note for $150,000 (the “Note”). Ms. Tangredi is the wife of Timothy Tangredi, the Company’s CEO and therefore is a related party of the Company. Pursuant to the Note, the Company is to pay the Holder the principal amount of $150,000 plus all interest due thereon in accordance with terms and conditions of the Security Agreement on the earlier of: (i) the date upon which the Company secures funds, regardless of source, equal to or exceeding, in the aggregate, $1,000,000 or (ii) October 31, 2016. On September 7, 2016, the parties amended the Security Agreement (“First Amendment”) whereby the principal amount was increased by $100,000. In addition, the Company issued on October 19, 2016, 200,000 shares of $0.01 par value common stock in accordance with the terms of the First Amendment. The interest rate is 12% per annum compounded daily with a minimum interest payment of $2,000. The Note grants the Holder a secured interest in the assets of the Company. The Company is using the proceeds of the Note and the First Amendment for working capital purposes.

During 2017, the Holder extended the Note into various amendments. Pursuant to the amendments, the principal amount due was increased to $1,332,000 with accrued interest of $102,059 with an extended maturity date of April 10, 2018. As consideration for the additional proceeds and modification of the maturity date, the Company issued to the related party warrants to purchase an aggregate of 26,250,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $0.01 with a ten-year exercise period and has issued a total of 480,000 shares of common stock.

On February 27, 2015, the Company entered into an amendment to the Tangredi Employment Agreement with Tim N. Tangredi. Currently, we have non-interest bearing accrued compensation due to the Chief Executive Officer for deferred salaries earned and unpaid as described above. 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 common stock during such calendar year. The conversion rate shall be equal to 75% of the average closing price for the common stock for the 30 trading days prior to the date of conversion. We shall also pay to 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 the voting equity interests or a person or group initiate a tender offer for our common stock, Mr. Tangredi may convert unpaid compensation to Class A Convertible Preferred Stock at $1.50 per share. The Board of Directors did not require Mr. Tangredi to convert $100,000 of unpaid compensation into common stock during 2015-2018.

On April 24, 2014, the Company entered into a Distribution Agreement (the “Soex Distribution Agreement”) with SoEX (Hong Kong) Industry & Investment Co., Ltd., a Hong Kong corporation (“Soex”). The Soex Distribution Agreement was a covenant included in a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated January 21, 2014, between the Company and Soex, pursuant to which Soex purchased 37,500,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, equal to approximately 31% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock as of December 31, 2016. Pursuant to the Soex Distribution Agreement, in exchange for $500,000 to be paid by October 20, 2014, royalty payments and a commitment from Soex to purchase nano-material membrane and other products from the Company, Soex obtained the right to distribute and market our products for incorporation in energy recovery ventilators sold and installed in commercial, industrial and residential buildings, transportation facilities and vehicles in mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan (the “Soex Distribution Territory”). Further, Soex received an exclusive license in the Territory to use our intellectual property in the manufacture and sale of its products and to purchase its requirements of nano-material membrane only from the Company. During 2014, $50,000 of the $500,000 license fee was received from Soex. Pursuant to the Soex Distribution Agreement, Soex was required to pay the Company $500,000, issue to it 25% of the equity of a newly-created company, Soex (Beijing) Environmental Protection Technology Company Limited and pay us royalties. Soex only paid us $50,000 of the required $500,000, did not issue the required equity and did not pay any required royalties. Effective June 12, 2015, the Board ratified the termination of the Soex Distribution Agreement, due to the breaches by Soex (see Part I, Item 3, Legal Proceedings).

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.

On November 1, 2018, the Company issued ten (10) shares of Class B Preferred Stock par value $0.01 per share having a stated value of $1.50 per share to Timothy N. Tangredi, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, in exchange for $15, pursuant to approval of the Board of Directors of the Company.

Mr. Tangredi’s initial base salary is $200,000.

Additionally, at the discretion of the Board 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. In addition to this bonus, Mr. Tangredi may be eligible for a separate merit bonus if approved by the Board, 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 six weeks of paid time off annually, an automobile allowance, reimbursement of all reasonable business expenses, automobile insurance and maintenance, and executive conference or educational expenses.

Under the Tangredi 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 the Tangredi Employment Agreement (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 Tangredi Employment Agreement.

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 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 Tangredi 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 Tangredi Employment Agreement, the Company and Mr. Tangredi have agreed that the Company 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.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Dais Corporation  (formerly Dais Analytic Corporation) (the “Company”), as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2018 and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2018, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The Company's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the accompanying financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations, generated negative cash flows from operating activities, has an accumulated deficit and has stated that substantial doubt exists about Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management's evaluation of the events and conditions and management’s plans in regarding these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

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 are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, 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.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
