NOTE
1 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
Basis
of Presentation
The
unaudited financial statements have been prepared by Novint Technologies,
Inc.
(the “Company” or “Novint”), in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and with the instructions
for Form
10-Q and Regulation S-X as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all
of the disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles
in the
United States of America for complete financial statements. These unaudited
interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited
financial statements and the notes thereto included on Form 10-KSB for
the
period ended December 31, 2007. In the opinion of management, the unaudited
interim financial statements furnished herein include all adjustments,
all of
which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement
of the
results for the interim period presented. The results of the three months
ended
March 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected
for
the full year ending December 31, 2008.
Reclassifications
Certain
prior year amounts were reclassified to conform to the March 31, 2008
presentation.
Nature
of Business
Novint
Technologies, Inc. (the “Company” or “Novint”) is a Delaware corporation. The
Company currently is engaged in the development and sale of 3D haptics
products
and equipment. Haptics refers to one’s sense of touch. The Company’s focus is in
the consumer interactive computer gaming market, but the Company also
does
project work in other areas. The Company’s operations are based in New Mexico
with sales of its haptics products primarily to consumers through the
Company’s
website at www.novint.com and retail outlets.
Management’s
Plans
As
of
March 31, 2008, the Company had total current assets of $3,883,510 and
total
current liabilities of $843,659, resulting in a working capital surplus
of
$3,039,851. As of March 31, 2008, the Company had cash totaling $1,614,417.
During the three months ended March 31, 2008 as further discussed in
Note 4, the
Company raised approximately $2,025,000 from the issuance of convertible
notes
and warrants through a subscription agreement with a maximum offering
amount of
$3,750,000. In April 2008 and May 2008, the Company closed
an
additional $1,725,000 and $703,280, respectively, of debt securities.
The
Company believes that it has sufficient capital to sustain its operations
for
twelve months; however, it will require additional working capital in
order to
fully execute on its business plans with respect to the haptics technology
and
the further development of the Novint Falcon and related software and
accessories.
NOTE
2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Software
Development Costs
The
Company accounts for its software development costs in accordance with
Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) Number 86, Accounting for the
Costs of
Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed. This statement
requires that, once technological feasibility of a developing product
has been
established, all subsequent costs incurred in developing that product
to a
commercially acceptable level be capitalized and amortized ratably over
the
estimated life of the product, which is generally 5 years. The Company
has
capitalized software development costs in connection with its haptics
technology
beginning in 2000. Amortization is computed on the straight-line basis
over the
estimated life (5 years) of the haptics technology. As of March 31, 2008,
the
Company’s capitalized software development costs totaled $634,513 (net of
$227,694 of accumulated amortization). The estimated annual amortization
expense
related to the capitalized software development cost is
approximately
$155,000
per year. Amortization expense related to software development costs
for the
three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 totaled $37,758 and $15,813,
respectively.
The
Company follows Statement of Position (SOP) No. 98-1, Accounting for
the Costs
of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use, which requires
capitalization of certain costs incurred during the development of internal
use
software. Through March 31, 2008, capitalizable costs incurred have not
been
significant for any development projects. Accordingly, the Company has
charged
all related costs to research and development expense in the periods
incurred.
Property
and Equipment
Property
and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation on property and equipment
is
calculated on a straight-line depreciation method over the estimated
useful
lives of the assets, which range from 3 to 5 years for software and
computer equipment, 2-5 years for leasehold improvements based upon the
life of
the lease and 5 years for office equipment. Repairs and maintenance costs
are expensed as incurred. Depreciation expense was $24,170 and $6,416
for the
three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Intangible
Assets
Intangible
assets consist of licensing agreements of $711,125 and patents of $40,706,
and
are carried at cost less accumulated amortization of $361,751. Amortization
is
computed using the straight-line method over the economic life of the
assets,
which range between 3 and 12 years. For the three months ended March
31, 2008
and 2007, the Company recognized amortization expense of approximately
$37,219
and $18,959, respectively, related to intangible assets.
Annual
amortization of intangible assets remaining at March 31, 2008, is as
follows:

Revenue
and Cost Recognition
The
Company recognizes revenue from the sale of software products under the
provisions of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, as amended by SOP
98-4 and
SOP 98-9. SOP 97-2 generally requires that revenue recognized from software
arrangements be allocated to each element of the arrangement based on
the
relative vendor specific objective evidence of fair values of the elements,
such
as software products, upgrades, enhancements, post contract customer
support,
installation or training. Under SOP 97-2, if the determination of vendor
specific objective evidence of fair value for each element of the arrangement
does not exist, all revenue from the arrangement is deferred until such
time
that evidence does exist or until all elements of the arrangement are
delivered.
SOP
97-2
was amended in December 1998 by SOP 98-9, Modification of SOP 97-2 Software
Revenue Recognition with Respect to Certain Transactions. SOP 98-9 clarified
what constitutes vendor specific objective evidence of fair value and
introduced
the concept of the “residual method” for allocating revenue to elements in a
multiple element arrangement.
The
Company’s revenue recognition policy is as follows:
Project
revenue consists of programming and demonstration services provided to
unrelated
parties under fixed-price contracts. Revenues from fixed price programming
contracts are recognized in accordance with SOP 81-1, Accounting for
Performance
of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts, and Accounting
Research Bulletin (ARB) 45, Long-Term Construction-Type Contracts, using
the
percentage-of-completion method, measured by the percentage of costs
incurred to
date compared with the total estimated costs for each contract. The Company
accounts for these measurements in the accompanying balance sheets under
costs
and estimated earnings in excess of billings on contracts, and billings
in
excess of costs and estimated earnings on contracts. Provisions for estimated
losses on uncompleted contracts are made and recorded in the period in
which the
loss is identified. As of March 31, 2008 the Company did not have any
costs and
estimated earnings in excess of billings on contracts or any
billings
in excess of costs and estimated earnings on contracts. All contracts
were 100%
complete as of March 31, 2008.
Revenue
from product sales relates to the sale of the Falcon haptics interface,
which is
a human-computer user interface (the “Falcon”) and related accessories. The
Falcon allows the user to experience the sense of touch when using a
computer,
while holding its interchangeable handle. The Falcons are manufactured
by an
unrelated party. Revenue from the product sales is recognized when the
products
are shipped to the customer and the Company has earned the right to receive
and
retain reasonable assured payments for the products sold and delivered.
Consequently, if all these revenue from product sales requirements are
not met,
such sales will be recorded as deferred revenue until such time as all
revenue
recognition requirements are met.
As
of
March 31, 2008, the Company had recorded $41,693 of deferred revenue,
which
represents fees received for product and project revenues that have not
met all
revenue recognition requirements.
Emerging
Issues Task Force (EITF) 00-10, Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees
and Costs, require amounts billed to a customer in a sales transaction
related
to shipping and handling, if any, to be classified and accounted for
as revenues
earned for the goods provided whereas shipping and handling costs incurred
by a
company are required to be classified as cost of sales. The Company’s costs
associated with shipping product items to the Company’s customers are included
in the Company’s Cost of Goods Sold, which for the three months ended March 31,
2008 and 2007 approximated $8,140 and $0, respectively.
Arrangements
made with certain customers, including slotting fees and co-operative
advertising, are accounted for in accordance with EITF No. 01-9, Accounting
for
Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer (Including a Reseller of
the
Vendor's Products). These incentives are recognized as a reduction in
revenue or
as a selling, general, and administrative expense, respectively, when
payment is
made to a customer (or at the time the Company has incurred the obligation,
if
earlier) unless the Company receives a benefit over a period of time
and the
Company meets certain other criteria, such as retailer performance,
recoverability and enforceability, in which case the incentive is recorded
as an
asset and is amortized as a reduction of revenue over the term of the
arrangement.
EITF
01-14, Income Statement Characterization of Reimbursements Received for
“Out-of-Pocket” Expenses Incurred, requires reimbursements received for
out-of-pocket expenses incurred while providing services to be characterized
in
the statements of operations as revenue. The Company’s out-of-pocket expenses
incurred in connection with their project revenues are recognized in
revenues
based on a computed overhead rate that is included in their project labor
costs
to derive a project price.
In
accordance with EITF 99-19, Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus
Net as
an Agent, the Company recognizes its product sales on a gross basis.
The Company
is responsible for fulfillment, including the acceptability of the product
ordered. The Company has risks and rewards of ownership such as the risk
of loss
for collection, delivery or returns. Title passes to the customer upon
receipt
of the product by the customer. In accordance with the Company’s agreement with
its customer, further obligation is limited to the terms defined in its
warranty.
The
Company’s customers are provided a one (1) year limited warranty on the Falcon.
This warranty guarantees that the products shall be free from defects
in
material and workmanship. Additionally, the Company offers its customers
of the
Falcon a 30 day money back guarantee. The Company continually evaluates
its
reserve accounts for both the limited warranty and 30 day money back
guarantee
based on its historical activities. As of March 31, 2008, the Company
has
recorded $8,190 as warranty and money back guarantee reserves.
Loss
per Common Share
Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128,
Earnings per Share,
(SFAS
128) provides for the calculation of “Basic” and “Diluted” earnings per share.
Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing
net
income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average
number of
common shares outstanding for the period. All potentially dilutive securities
have been excluded from the computations since they would be antidilutive.
However, these dilutive securities could potentially dilute earnings
per share
in the future. As of March 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company had a total
of
14,270,736 and
26,245,724 in potentially dilutive securities, respectively.
Stock-Based
Compensation
The
Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share Based Payment (“SFAS
No. 123R”), under the modified-prospective transition method on
January 1, 2006. SFAS No. 123R requires companies to measure and
recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award
of
equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value. Share-based compensation
recognized under the modified-prospective transition method of SFAS
No. 123R includes share-based compensation based on the grant-date fair
value determined in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS
No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, for all share-based
payments granted prior to and not yet vested as of January 1, 2006 and
share-based compensation based on the grant-date fair-value determined
in
accordance with SFAS No. 123R for all share-based payments granted after
January 1, 2006.
The
Company recognized $122,139 and $393,113 in employee share-based compensation
expense for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
The
fair value of the stock options was estimated using the Black-Scholes
option
pricing model. In calculating the fair value of options for stock based
compensation for the three months ended March 31, 2008, the following
assumptions were used: closing price of the common stock at the date
of grant,
risk-free rates ranged from 5.00% to 5.25%, volatility of the options
ranged
from 73% to 157%, estimated lives of 3 to 10 years and exercise prices
ranged
from $0.66 to $1.20 per share.
Research
and Development
Research
and development costs are expensed as incurred and amounted to $313,526
and
$235,570 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The
Company has adopted all recently issued accounting pronouncements. The
adoption
of the accounting pronouncements, including those not yet effective,
is not
anticipated to have a material effect on the financial position or results
of
operations of the Company.

NOTE
4- CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE
On
March
31, 2008, the Company closed on a $2,025,000 private placement of debt
securities under Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933
pursuant to the terms of a subscription agreement among the Company and
the
subscribers’ signatory thereto (the "Subscription Agreement"). In April 2008,
the Company closed an additional $1,725,000 for an aggregate Subscription
Agreement amount of $3,750,000 as discussed in Note 9 for additional
discussion. Each Subscriber acquired an unsecured convertible note in the
principal amount invested and a warrant to purchase shares of the Company’s
common stock with an exercise price of $1.00 per share. In each case, the
number of shares of common stock underlying the warrant equals the principal
amount of the unsecured convertible note. Each warrant is exercisable
for a term
of five (5) years. The unsecured convertible notes have a three (3) year
maturity, require payment of principal and interest in full on the maturity
date, and accrue interest at a rate of seven percent (7%) beginning on the
first anniversary of their respective dates of issuance. At the option
of the
holder, principal outstanding under a note may be converted into common
stock at the conversion rate then in effect, initially $1.00 per share.
Upon conversion, the holder will receive common stock at the conversion
price of
$1.00 per share and additional warrants to purchase shares of common
stock at an
exercise price of $1.50 per share. The number of shares of common stock
underlying the additional warrants shall equal one-half (1/2) the principal
and
interest amounts converted. The additional warrants shall be exercisable
for a term of five (5) years. Certain existing shareholders of the Company
are entitled to purchase notes and warrants under the terms of the Subscription
Agreement and the Company was required to create a second offering of
these
notes and warrants.
The
Company has recorded $132,678 as deferred financing costs associated
with the
closing that occurred on March 31, 2008. This amount represents $31,400
accrued
for legal expenses associated with the private placement, $60,000 paid
to an
investment banking company and $41,278 for the value of warrants to purchase
60,000 shares of the Company’s
common
stock at $1.00 per share for 5 years owed to the same investment banking
company. These amounts will be amortized to interest expense over the
term of
the notes.
The
Company has determined the convertible debenture contains a beneficial
conversion feature and qualifies for treatment under Emerging Issues
Task Force
No. 00-27. The estimated fair value of the detachable warrants of $1,398,766
has
been determined using Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following
assumptions: stock price volatility of 124%, risk free interest rate
of 3.77%;
dividend yield of 0% and 3 year term. The face amount of the convertible
debenture of $2,025,000 was proportionately allocated to the debenture
and the
warrants in the amount of $1,197,694 and $827,306, respectively. The
convertible
debenture's proportionate allocated value of $1,197,694 was then further
allocated between the debenture and the beneficial conversion feature,
and the
entire remaining value of $1,197,694 was allocated to the beneficial
conversion
feature. The combined total value of the warrant and beneficial conversion
feature of $2,025,000 has been accounted for as a debt discount that
is being
amortized and treated as interest expense over the term of the convertible
debenture under the effective interest method.
NOTE
5 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
From
time
to time, in the normal course of business, the Company is subject to
routine
litigation incidental to its business. Although there can be no assurances
as to
the ultimate disposition of any such matters, it is the opinion of management,
based upon the information available at this time, that there are no
matters,
individually or in the aggregate, that will have a material adverse effect
on
the results of operations and financial condition of the Company.
NOTE
6 — STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Sale
of Common Stock and Warrant
During
January 2007, the Company sold 500,000 shares of common stock and warrants
for
500,000 shares of common stock to 8 investors for a total of $500,000.
The
warrants have an exercise price of $1.00 per share and life of five
years.
Unit
Subscription Agreement
On
March 5, 2007, the Company entered into a Unit Subscription Agreement (the
“Agreement”) with 42 accredited investors (the “Purchasers”) pursuant to which
the Company issued and sold $9,000,000 of Units, at a price of one dollar
per
Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of common stock, and one five-year
warrant
to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $1.50.
Accordingly, an aggregate of 9,000,000 shares of its common stock, and
warrants
to purchase 9,000,000 shares of common stock were issued (the “Financing”). The
Financing closed on March 5, 2007. Under the terms of the Unit Subscription
Agreement the Company may sell an additional 1,000,000 Units for $1,000,000
to a
strategic investor, of which the Company closed on the sale of 580,000
units for
$580,000 on May 11, 2007. Gross proceeds from the Financing to the Company
were
$9,000,000, of which $320,010 was paid to certain individuals who served
as
placement agents for the transaction and approximately $50,000 was paid
to
counsel for the Purchasers in connection with the transaction. In addition,
the
Company had netted a previously capitalized deferred offering cost totaling
$54,354 towards the gross proceeds from the Financing. The
Company granted warrants to purchase 320,000 shares of common stock with
an
exercise price of $1.50 to certain individuals who served as placement
agents in
the financing and options to purchase 173,419 shares of common stock
with an
exercise price of $1.00 to AF Double Eagle upon the closing of the Financing.
These warrants and options have been accounted for as related offering
costs.
Mr. Tom
Anderson, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, invested $25,000 in the
Financing.
As
part
of the terms of the Agreement, the Company entered into an Investor Rights
Agreement among the Purchasers pursuant to which the Company has agreed
to file
a registration statement to register for resale of the shares of common
stock
sold in the Financing, including the shares of common stock underlying
the
warrants, within 55 days following the closing of the Financing. Subject to
certain exceptions, in the event the registration statement is not filed
within
such 55 day period or does not become effective within certain time periods
set forth in the Investor Rights Agreement, the Company would be required
to pay
each purchaser in the Financing an amount in cash equal to 0.0333% of
the sum of
(i) the purchase amount paid by the Purchaser and (ii) the amount paid
upon exercise of the warrants for each day the filing or effectiveness
of the
registration statement is delayed and, pursuant to the terms of the warrants,
the Purchasers would be entitled to exercise their warrants pursuant
to a
cashless
exercise
formula. In addition, the Company has agreed not to grant any registration
rights that are senior to the registration rights of the Purchasers for
a period
of two years from the closing date without the prior written consent
of a
majority of the Purchasers. The Company filed a Form SB-2 registration
statement
as required by the Agreement on May 24, 2007 and it became effective
on June 19,
2007 within the required timeline of the Agreement.
NOTE
7 — RELATED PARTIES
On
February 18, 2004, the Company granted to a significant shareholder,
for future
services, 125,000 options to purchase common stock at an exercise price
of $0.66
per share. The options have a 5-year annual vesting provision. Options
granted
to consultants are valued each reporting period to determine the amount
to be
recorded as consultant expense in the respective period. As the options
vest,
they will be valued one last time on the vesting date and an adjustment
will be
recorded for the difference between the value already recorded and the
current
value on date of vesting. At March 31, 2008, the Company calculated the
value of
the options using the Black-Scholes model based on the following assumptions:
a
risk-free rate of 5.00%, volatility of 124%, estimated life of 10 years
and a
fair market value of $0.99 per share. At March 31, 2004, the Company
calculated
the initial value of the options using the Black-Scholes model based
on the
following assumptions: a risk-free rate of 4.05%, volatility of 91%,
estimated
life of 10 years and a fair market value of $1.00 per share. The vesting
schedule is prorated over the reporting period, and $4,890 and $13,809,
respectively, was recorded as consultant expense during the three months
ended
March 31, 2008 and 2007.
In
March
2004, Normandie New Mexico Corporation, which is owned by the former
Chief
Executive Officer (CEO) of Manhattan Scientific (a significant shareholder)
who
is also a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, entered into an agreement
with the Company to provide consulting services in relation to business
development and marketing support. Fees per the agreement are $6,250
per month.
For the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company had paid $25,000
and $-0-, respectively, for these services. As of March 31, 2008 and
2007, the
Company owed $-0- and $90,625 to Normandie New Mexico under the
agreement.
On
June
10, 2004, the Company granted 250,000 options to purchase common stock
to one of
the member of the Company’s Board of Directors for future consulting services at
an exercise price of $0.66 per share. The options have a 5-year annual
vesting
provision. At June 30, 2004, the Company calculated the initial value
of these
options using the Black-Scholes model based on the following assumptions:
a
risk-free rate of 4.81%, volatility of 100%, estimated life of 10 years
and a
fair market value of $1.00 per share. At March 31, 2008, the Company
calculated
the value of the options using the Black-Scholes model based on the following
assumptions: a risk-free rate of 5.00%, volatility of 124%, estimated
life of 10
years and a fair market value of $0.99 per share. The vesting schedule
is
prorated over the reporting period, and approximately $14,000 and $26,000,
respectively, was recorded as consulting expense during the three months
ended
March 31, 2008 and 2007.
One
of
the members of the Company’s Board of Directors provided legal services to
Company. Total legal expense incurred by the Company for such legal services
by
this director totaled $32,829 and $22,086 for the quarters ended March
31, 2008
and 2007, respectively. At the beginning of 2008, the Company granted
this board
member options to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock with an exercise
price
of $.89 per share for service performed and to be performed in relation
to the
Company’s patents. As of March 31, 2008, 5,667 options had vested and the
Company recorded $3,840 in expense related to these vested options.
NOTE
8 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The
Company has licensing agreements with various parties providing gaming
software.
These licensing agreements have royalty provisions which require royalty
fees
ranging from 5% to 50% of either gross revenue or net revenue and one
licensing
agreement has a royalty provision of $0.50 per end user. Royalty fees
paid or accrued for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 related
to
these licensing agreements approximated $984,507 and $0, respectively,
of which
$1,256,769 remains as prepaid expenses as of March 31, 2007.
NOTE
9 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
As
discussed in Note 4, the Company closed an additional $1,725,000 of debt
securities for an aggregate total of $3,750,000.
In
May
2008, the Company closed on a $703,280 private placement of debt securities
under Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to
the terms of a subscription agreement among the Company and the subscribers
signatory thereto. Each Subscriber acquired an unsecured convertible note
in the principal amount invested and a warrant to purchase shares of
the
Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $1.00 per share. In each
case, the number of shares of common stock underlying the warrant equals
the
principal amount of the unsecured convertible note. Each warrant is exercisable
for a term of five (5) years. The unsecured convertible notes have a three
(3) year maturity, require payment of principal and interest in full
on the
maturity date, and accrue interest at a rate of seven percent
(7%) beginning on the first anniversary of their respective dates of
issuance. At the option of the holder, principal outstanding under a
note may be
converted into common stock at the conversion rate then in effect,
initially $1.00 per share. Upon conversion, the holder will receive common
stock
at the conversion price of $1.00 per share and additional warrants to
purchase
shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share. The number
of shares of common stock underlying the additional warrants shall equal
one-half (1/2) the principal and interest amounts converted. The
additional warrants shall be exercisable for a term of five (5) years.
In
connection with this private placement, the Company notified investors
who had
participated in a prior offering of their right to participate in this
private
placement on the same terms and conditions as the Purchasers. These investors
may participate in this private placement by providing written notice
to the
Company by May 15, 2008 of their intent to participate. As of the date
of this
Report, one of these investors has provided such notice to the
Company.
Subsequent
to March 31, 2008, the Company issued 30,000 shares of common stock for
payment
of $30,000 in royalties, granted 1,000 options to an employee and granted
5,000
fully vested warrants to a consultant.
Forward
Looking Statements
Certain
statements in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”), other than
purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements
relating to our business plans, objectives and expected operating results,
and
the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are “forward-looking
statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements generally
are identified by the words “believe,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate,”
“estimate,” “intend,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would,”
“will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions.
Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions
that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results
to
differ materially from the forward-looking statements. A detailed discussion
of
risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and events to differ
materially from such forward-looking statements is included in the section
under
“Risk Factors”. We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any
forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future
events, or otherwise.

ITEM
6. MANAGEMENT’S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS AND PLAN OF OPERATION
Statements
included in this management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and
results of operations, and in future filings by the Company with the SEC,
in the
Company’s press releases and in oral statements made with the approval of an
authorized executive officer which are not historical or current facts are
“forward-looking statements” and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties
that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical earnings
and those presently anticipated or projected. You are cautioned not to place
undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as
of
the date made. The following important factors, among others, in some cases
have
affected and in the future could affect the Company’s actual results and could
cause the Company’s actual financial performance to differ materially from that
expressed in any forward-looking statement: (i) the extremely competitive
conditions that currently exist in the market for companies similar to the
Company and (ii) lack of resources to maintain the Company’s good standing
status and requisite filings with the SEC. The foregoing list should not
be
construed as exhaustive and the Company disclaims any obligation subsequently
to
revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances
after
the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or
unanticipated events. The following discussion should be read in conjunction
with our financial statements and their explanatory notes included as part
of
this annual report.
OVERVIEW
We
were
initially incorporated in the State of New Mexico as Novint Technologies,
Inc.
in April 1999. On February 26, 2002, we changed our state of incorporation
to
Delaware by merging into Novint Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation.
We
have no subsidiaries and operate our business under Novint Technologies,
Inc. We
are a haptics technology company (haptics refers to your sense of touch).
We
develop, market and sell applications and technologies that allow people
to use
their sense of touch to interact with computers.
We
have
derived revenues from 3D touch hardware sales, 3D touch software sales, and
the
development of professional applications for our customers. We launched our
Falcon product in June 2007, and are selling it in our on-line store and
in a
number of retailers and other websites. We launched an on-line game store
in
November 2007. We also have completed a number of professional application
contracts with customers who desire custom developed software.
Novint
focuses the majority of its efforts to exploit opportunities in the consumer
console and PC interactive games market. Using our haptics technology, games
and
applications will have the crucial missing “third sense”, touch, to human
computer interaction. Users will be able to directly and intuitively feel
the
shape, texture, and physical properties of virtual objects using our computer
touch software. Our haptic technology and related hardware for consumers
is now
the primary focus of our operations whereas in the past it had been professional
applications. We will devote a majority of our resources to further developing
this market and seeking new business relationships with video game developers
and publishers and hardware manufacturers. We began selling our haptic product,
the Novint Falcon, in June 2007 through our website at www.novint.com. We
currently are selling one haptic hardware product which is a haptic game
controller device called the Novint Falcon marketed in a bundled package
which
includes several games. We launched an on-line game store in late 2007, where
consumers can purchase and download a variety of game titles. Although our
sales
of the Novint Falcon and games since product launch have been limited, we
anticipate sales of the Novint Falcon and games to increase resulting from
increased sales and distributions to retailers and release of new software
and
games in 2008.
CRITICAL
ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
High-quality
financial statements require rigorous application of accounting policies.
Our
policies are discussed in our financial statements for the quarter ended
March
31, 2008 and are considered by management to be critical for an understanding
of
our financial statements because their application places
the
most
significant demands on management’s judgment, with financial reporting results
relying on estimation about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.
We review the accounting policies we use in reporting our financial results
on a
regular basis. As part of such review, we assess how changes in our business
processes and products may affect how we account for transactions. We have
not
changed our critical accounting policies or practices during 2008. New
accounting policies and practice were implemented in 2007 as necessary based
on
the launch of our haptics product sales in June 2007.
REVENUE
AND COST RECOGNITION — We recognize revenue from the sale of software products
under the provisions of Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2, Software Revenue
Recognition, as amended by SOP 98-4 and SOP 98-9. SOP 97-2 generally requires
that revenue recognized from software arrangements be allocated to each element
of the arrangement based on the relative vendor specific objective evidence
of
fair values of the elements, such as software products, upgrades, enhancements,
post contract customer support, installation, or training. Under SOP 97-2,
if
the determination of vendor specific objective evidence of fair value for
each
element of the arrangement does not exist, all revenue from the arrangement
is
deferred until such time that evidence does exist or until all elements of
the
arrangement are delivered.
SOP
97-2
was amended in December 1998 by SOP 98-9, Modification of SOP 97-2 Software
Revenue Recognition with Respect to Certain Transactions. SOP 98-9 clarified
what constitutes vendor specific objective evidence of fair value and introduced
the concept of the “residual method” for allocating revenue to elements in a
multiple element arrangement.
Our
revenue recognition policy is as follows:
Project
revenue consists of programming services provided to unrelated parties under
fixed-price contracts. Revenues from fixed price programming contracts are
recognized in accordance with SOP 81-1, Accounting for Performance of
Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts, and Accounting Research
Bulletin 45, Long-Term Construction-Type Contracts, using the
percentage-of-completion method, measured by the percentage of costs incurred
to
date compared with the total estimated costs for each contract. The Company
accounts for these measurements in the accompanying balance sheets under
costs
and estimated earnings in excess of billings on contracts, and billings in
excess of costs and estimated earnings on contracts. Provisions for estimated
losses on uncompleted contracts are made and recorded in the period in which
the
loss is identified. As of March 31, 2008, the Company did not have any costs
and
estimated earnings in excess of billings on contracts, and no billings in
excess
of costs and estimated earnings on contracts. All contracts were 100% complete
as of March 31, 2008.
Revenue
from product sales relates to the sale of the Falcon haptics interface, which
is
a human-computer user interface (the “Falcon”). The Falcon allows the user to
experience sensory information when using a computer and its handle and is
the
approximate size and shape of a racquetball. The Falcons are manufactured
by an
unrelated party. Revenue from the product sales are recognized when the products
are shipped to the customer and thereby have earned the right to receive
and
retain reasonable assured payments for the products sold and delivered.
Consequently, if all these revenue from product sales requirements are not
met,
such sales will be recorded as deferred revenue until such time all revenue
recognition requirements are met. As of March 31, 2008, the Company had recorded
$41,693 of deferred revenue.
Emerging
Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 00-10, Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees
and Costs, requires amounts billed to a customer in a sales transaction related
to shipping and handling, if any, to be classified and accounted for as revenues
earned for the goods provided whereas shipping and handling costs incurred
by a
company are required to be classified as cost of sales. The Company’s costs
associated with shipping product items to the Company’s customers are included
in the Company’s Cost of Goods Sold, which for the quarters ended March 31, 2008
and 2007 approximated $8,140 and $-0-, respectively.
Arrangements
made with certain customers, including slotting fees and co-operative
advertising, are accounted for in accordance with EITF No. 01-9, Accounting
for
Consideration Given by a Vendor to a
Customer
(Including a Reseller of the Vendor's Products). These incentives are recognized
as a reduction in revenue or as a selling, general, and administrative expense,
respectively, when payment is made to a customer (or at the time the Company
has
incurred the obligation, if earlier) unless the Company receives a benefit
over
a period of time and the Company meets certain other criteria, such as retailer
performance, recoverability and enforceability, in which case the incentive
is
recorded as an asset and is amortized as a reduction of revenue over the
term of
the arrangement.
EITF
01-14, Income Statement Characterization of Reimbursements Received for
“Out-of-Pocket” Expenses Incurred, requires reimbursements received for
out-of-pocket expenses incurred while providing services to be characterized
in
the statements of operations as revenue. The Company’s out-of-pocket expenses
incurred in connection with their project revenues are recognized in revenues
based on a computed overhead rate that is included in their project labor
costs
to derive a project price.
In
accordance with EITF 99-19, Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus
Net as
an Agent, the Company recognizes its product sales on a gross basis. The Company
is responsible for fulfillment, including the acceptability of the product
ordered. The Company has risks and rewards of ownership such as the risk
of loss
for collection, delivery or returns. Title passes to the customer upon receipt
of the product by the customer. In accordance with the Company’s agreement with
its customer, further obligation is limited to the terms defined in its
warranty.
The
Company’s customers are provided a one (1) year limited warranty on the Falcon
haptics interface product. This warranty guarantees that the products shall
be
free from defects in material and workmanship. Additionally,
the Company offers its customers of the Falcon a 30 day money back guarantee.
The Company continually evaluates its reserve accounts for both the limited
warranty and 30 day money back guarantee based on its historical activities.
As
of March 31, 2008, the Company has accrued $8,190 as warranty and money back
guarantee reserve.
IMPAIRMENT
— In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting (“SFAS”) 144, Accounting
for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, we review our long-lived
assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that
the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of
assets
to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of
an
asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If
such
assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is
measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds
the
fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower
of
the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
SOFTWARE
DEVELOPMENT COSTS — We account for our software development costs in accordance
with SFAS 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased,
or Otherwise Marketed. This statement requires that, once technological
feasibility of a developing product has been established, all subsequent
costs
incurred in developing that product to a commercially acceptable level be
capitalized and amortized ratably over the estimated life of the product,
which
is 5 years. We have capitalized software development costs in connection
with
our haptic software beginning in 2000. Amortization is computed on the
straight-line basis over the estimated life (5 years) of the haptics
technology.
STOCK
BASED COMPENSATION - We account for stock based compensation in accordance
with
SFAS 123(R), Share-Based Payment, which requires the measurement and recognition
of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees
and
directors, including employee stock options and employee stock purchases,
related to a Employee Stock Purchase Plan based on the estimated fair values.
We
have used stock option awards in the past and continue to use them as a means
of
rewarding our employees and directors for their continued commitment and
efforts
in helping us execute our overall business plans.
RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
THREE
MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2008 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31,
2007.
REVENUES.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2008, we had revenues of $71,829 as compared
to revenues of $128,731 during the quarter ended March 31, 2007, a decrease
of
approximately 44%. In the first quarter of 2007, all of our revenues were
derived from the development of professional applications; however in 2008
our
revenues were mainly derived from consumer products, which is a much different
focus. Given that the revenues were from different types of business activities,
a comparison between them has limited meaning.
During
2006, we redirected much of our attention in the development and completion
of
our haptics technology and hardware platforms for consumers. Our haptics
game
controller device was launched in June 2007, and our on-line game store was
launched in November 2007. As a result, our revenues in the first quarter
of
2008 were derived from both projects and sales of our haptics products. During
the quarter ended March 31, 2008, our revenues were derived from the
refurbishment of hardware and development and demonstration of professional
applications for customers totaling $27,579, and the sale of our haptics
technology products totaling $44,250. We will continue to provide development
of
professional applications in future years.
COST
OF
GOODS SOLD AND GROSS PROFIT (LOSS). Cost of goods sold for our haptics
technology products includes the cost of the haptics technology products
sold
and the costs associated with shipping product to customers. The cost of
goods
sold for our development of professional applications includes materials
purchased for resale to customers and the direct labor incurred for delivering
on projects. Costs of goods sold were $80,070 for the quarter ended March
31,
2008, compared to $107,481 for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. In the first
quarter of 2007, our revenues were only derived from development of professional
applications, and in June 2007 we launched the sales of our haptics technology
products. Our overall gross loss percentage was approximately (11) % for
the
quarter ended March 31, 2008, which is a result of our gross profit from
our
development of professional applications approximately 23%, and gross loss
from
the sale of our haptics technology product approximated (33) %, compared
to a
gross profit percentage of 17% for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, which
consisted only of gross profit from our development of professional
applications. Our gross profit from the development of professional applications
has remained consistent from year to year. Our gross loss experienced from
the
sale of our haptics technology product was impacted by efforts to drive market
penetration—freight
costs to meet the demands of product distribution,
costs
to place product into major retail chains, third-party warehousing costs,
and
lower pricing for retailer and distributors. Many of these costs will be
improved as our processes are worked out.
RESEARCH
AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES. Research and development totaled $313,526 for the
quarter ended March 31, 2008 compared to $235,570 for the quarter ended March
31, 2007, an increase of $77,956 or 33%. Our research and development for
2008
increased as we continue to develop new software associated with the haptics
technology product, as well as specialized grips for use with the
product.
GENERAL
AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. General and administrative expenses totaled
$1,328,201 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, compared to $1,495,206 for
the
quarter ended March 31, 2007, a decrease of $167,005 or 11%. The decrease
in
general and administrative expenses compared to the prior year was primarily
related to the stabilization of the business following the launch of the
product
in June 2007. Business and professional fees decreased approximately $522,000,
and payroll and other overhead expenses increased approximately $355,000
as new
employees and other expenses were added to expand the business. We anticipate
such expenses to continue to slightly increase, only as we add the necessary
organization for the business.
DEPRECIATION
AND AMORTIZATION EXPENSE. Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $99,147
for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 compared to $41,188 for the quarter
ended
March 31, 2007, an increase of $57,959 or 141%. This has increased as we
have
increased our investment in fixed assets, intangibles, and capitalized
software.
SALES
AND
MARKETING EXPENSE. Sales and marketing expense totaled $131,849 for the quarter
ended March 31, 2008 compared to $149,436 for the quarter ended March 31,
2007,
a decrease of $17,587 or 12%. In 2007, we had programs focused on the launch
of
the Falcon, which occurred in June 2007, and in 2008 expenses continued for
website development, trade show expenses and an “Evangelist Program” to
encourage early adopters to tell others about the product. Promotional efforts
will continue in 2008 with print advertising, trade shows, branding, and
promotion through the website.
LOSS
FROM
OPERATIONS: We had a loss from operations of $1,880,964 for the quarter ended
March 31, 2008, compared to a loss from operations of $1,900,150 for the
quarter
ended March 31, 2007. Our net losses have decreased slightly as a result
the
changes in our operating expenses as described above.
NET
LOSS.
We had a net loss of $1,867,209, or $0.06 per share, for the quarter ended
March
31, 2008, compared to $2,016,199, or $0.09 per share, for the quarter ended
March 31, 2007. There was a decrease in the net loss of 148,990, which is
a
result of a decrease in the loss from operations of approximately $20,000,
a
decrease in interest income of approximately $15,000, and a decrease in interest
expense of $143,000.
LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As
of
March 31, 2008, we had a total cash balance of $1,614,417. Our cash flow
from
operating activities for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 resulted in a deficit
of $2,927,304 compared with a deficit of $1,058,534 in the same period of
the
prior year. Our cash flow from investing activities for the quarter ended
March
31, 2008 resulted in a deficit of $127,646 compared with a deficit of $15,639
in
the same period of the prior year. Our cash flow from financing activities
for
the quarter ended March 31, 2008 resulted in a surplus of $1,965,000 compared
to
a surplus of $9,187,626 in the same period of the prior year. Overall, our
cash
decreased by $1,089,950 during the three months ended March 31, 2008.
As
of
March 31, 2008, the Company had total current assets of $3,883,510 and total
current liabilities of $843,659, resulting in a working capital surplus of
$3,039,851. As of March 31, 2008, the Company had cash totaling $1,614,417.
During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company raised approximately
$2,025,000 from the issuance of convertible notes and warrants through a
subscription agreement with a maximum offering amount of $3,750,000. In April
2008 and May 2008, the Company closed
an
additional $1,725,000 and $703,280, respectively, of debt securities. The
Company believes that it has sufficient capital to sustain its operations
for
twelve months; however, it will require additional working capital in order
to
fully execute on its business plans with respect to the haptics technology
and
the further development of the Novint Falcon and related software and
accessories.

Disclosure
Controls and Procedures
As
of the
end of the period covered by this quarterly report, we carried out an
evaluation, under the supervision of, and with the participation of our
management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as
defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based
on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
have
concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our
disclosure controls and procedures were effective to enable us to record,
process, summarize and report information required to be included in our reports
that we file or submit under the Exchange Act within the time periods required.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There
were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined
in
Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended) during the quarter ended March 31, 2008 that have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control
over financial reporting.
We
know
of no material, existing or pending legal proceedings against us, nor are we
involved as a plaintiff in any material proceeding or pending litigation. There
are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or
any
registered or beneficial stockholder, is an adverse party or has a material
interest adverse to our company.
Not
applicable.
In
January 2008, we issued 6,664 shares of common stock to Ralph Anderson in
payment for services rendered on our audit committee. We relied upon the
exemption from registration as set forth in Section 4(2) of the Securities
Act for the issuance of these shares. The shareholder took the shares for
investment purposes without a view to distribution and had access to information
concerning Novint and our business prospects, as required by the Securities
Act.
In addition, there was no general solicitation or advertising for the issuance
of the shares. The shareholder was permitted access to our management for the
purpose of acquiring investment information. Due to the shareholder’s status on
our audit committee and his dealings with companies similar to ours, we deem
the
shareholder sophisticated for the purposes of Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act.
In
January 2008, we issued 1,000 shares of common stock to Karen Rosolowski in

Act.
In addition, there was no general solicitation or advertising for the issuance
of the shares. The shareholder was permitted access to our management for the
