NOTES
TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER
30, 2009 AND 2008
(Unaudited)
NOTE
1 —BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
Effective
July 1, 2009, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 105-10, “Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles.” ASC 105-10 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards
CodificationTM
(“Codification”) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized
by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of
financial statements in conformity with GAAP for SEC registrants. All guidance
contained in the Codification carries an equal level of authority. The
Codification supersedes all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards.
The FASB will now issue new standards in the form of Accounting Standards
Updates (“ASUs”). The FASB will not consider ASUs as authoritative in their own
right. ASUs will serve only to update the Codification, provide background
information about the guidance and provide the bases for conclusions on the
changes in the Codification. References made to FASB guidance have been updated
for the Codification throughout this document.
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-K for the period
ended December 31, 2008. 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 and nine
months ended September 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results to
be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2009.
Reclassifications
Certain
prior year amounts were reclassified to conform to the September 30, 2009
presentation.
Nature
of Business
Novint
was originally incorporated in the State of New Mexico in April 1999. On
February 26, 2002, the Company changed its state of incorporation to Delaware by
merging with Novint Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation. This merger was
accounted for as a reorganization of the Company. 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.
Going
Concern and Management’s Plans
These
financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which
contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in
the normal course of business. The Company has incurred recurring losses and at
September 30, 2009, had an accumulated deficit of $34,684,588. For the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company sustained a net loss of
$1,529,830 and $4,292,674, respectively. These factors, among others, indicate
that the Company may be unable to continue as a going concern for a reasonable
period of time. These financial statements do not include any adjustments
relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or
the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary should the
Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company's continuation as
a going concern is contingent upon its ability to obtain additional financing
and to generate revenue and cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely
basis.

Novint
Technologies, Inc.
NOTES
TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER
30, 2009 AND 2008
(Unaudited)
The
Company believes there are several factors in continuing as a going concern. The
Company has dramatically reduced operating expenses and staff during the nine
months in 2009 and will continue do so in areas deemed non-essential during 2009
while maintaining the resources to continue to sell its hardware and software
products. Additionally, in the immediate timeframe, the Company has put more
emphasis on haptics development projects. These projects have historically
generated revenues and expanded the intellectual property portfolio. Next, the
Company is anticipating the release of new top tier games in the second half of
2009, some of which have been released, which should generate additional product
sales. Lastly, the Company will continue to seek and raise additional
funding through debt or equity financing during the next twelve
months.
NOTE
2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use
of Estimates
In
preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant
estimates include the fair value of the Company’s common stock and the fair
value of options and warrants to purchase common stock, allowances for doubtful
accounts, inventory valuation, return and warranty reserves, accounting for
income taxes and uncertainty in income taxes and depreciation and
amortization.
Software
Development Costs
The
Company accounts for its software development costs in accordance with FASB ASC
985.20, Software-Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise
Marketed. This codification 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 September 30, 2009, the Company’s capitalized software development costs
totaled $472,299 (net of $478,754 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 and nine months
ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 totaled $42,771 and $128,960, and $40,170 and
$117,153, respectively.
The
Company follows FASB ASC 350.40, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use
Software, which requires capitalization of certain costs incurred during the
development of internal use software. Through September 30, 2009, 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, and 5 years for office equipment. Repairs and
maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation expense was $12,040 and
$43,648, and $26,468 and $77,487 for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

In August
2008, the Company entered into a licensing agreement for several games, with a
guaranteed minimum royalty of $100,000. In March 2009, the Company
signed an amendment to reduce the minimum royalty to $15,000 for a total of two
games. The Company has accrued for the $15,000 as of December 31,
2008. This amount was paid in March 2009.
The
Company follows the FASB ASC 350.30, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-General
Intangibles Other than Goodwill. FASB ASC 350.30 requires intangible assets to
be tested for impairment. The Company performs a periodic review of its
identified intangible assets to determine if facts and circumstances exist which
indicate that the useful life is shorter than originally estimated or that the
carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. If such facts and
circumstances exist, the Company assesses the recoverability of identified
intangible assets by comparing the projected undiscounted net cash flows
associated with the related asset or group of assets over the remaining lives
against the respective carrying amounts. Impairment, if any, is based on the
excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets. After an
impairment loss is recognized, the adjusted carrying amount shall be its new
accounting basis. No impairment loss was recorded during the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2009 or 2008.
Revenue
and Cost Recognition
The
Company recognizes revenue from the sale of software products under the FASB ASC
985.605, Software-Software Revenue Recognition, which 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 FASB ASC
985.605, 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.

TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER

(Unaudited)
The
Company’s 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 FASB ASC 605.35, Revenue
Recognition-Construction-Type and Production-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 September 30, 2009 the Company had $8,297
in costs and earnings in excess of billings which is included in prepaid
expenses and other current assets on the accompanying balance
sheet. As of December 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.
For
project revenue that is not under fixed price programming contracts, the Company
recognizes revenues as the services are completed.
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 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
September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company had recorded $29,828 and
29,662, respectively, of deferred revenue, which represents fees received for
product and project revenues that have not met all revenue recognition
requirements.
FASB ASC
605.45, Revenue Recognition-Principal Agent Considerations, 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and
2008 approximated $59,358 and $89,086, and $2,531 and $27,436,
respectively.
Arrangements
made with certain customers, including slotting fees and co-operative
advertising, are accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC 605.50, Revenue
Recognition-Customer Payments and Incentives. 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.
FASB ASC
605.45, Revenue Recognition-Principal Agent Considerations, 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 FASB ASC 605.45, Revenue Recognition-Principal Agent
Considerations, 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 September 30, 2009 and December 31,
2008, the Company has accrued $15,000 and $17,000, respectively, as warranty
reserve.
Loss
per Common Share
FASB ASC
260, Earnings Per Share, provides for the calculation of “Basic” and “Diluted”
earnings per share. Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is
computed by dividing net 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 September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company
had a total of 16,481,809 and 12,736,867 in potentially dilutive
securities, respectively.
Stock-Based
Compensation
The
Company adopted FASB ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. FASB ASC 718
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 FASB ASC 718 includes share-based compensation based on the
grant-date fair value 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 FASB ASC 718 for all
share-based payments granted after January 1, 2006.
The
Company recognized $10,969 and $153,647, and $115,927 and $353,033 in employee
share-based compensation expense for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2009 and 2008, 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
and nine months ended September 30, 2009, the following assumptions were used:
closing price of the common stock at the date of grant, risk-free rates ranging
from 4.00% to 5.25%, volatility of the options ranging from 73% to 157%,
estimated lives of 3 to 10 years and exercise prices ranging from $0.20 to $1.06
per share. In calculating the fair value of options for stock based
compensation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, the
following assumptions were used: closing price of the common stock at the date
of grant, risk-free rates ranging from 4.00% to 5.25%, volatility of the options
ranging from 73% to 157%, estimated lives of 3 to 10 years and exercise prices
ranging from $0.66 to $1.20 per share.
Stock
options and warrants issued to consultants and other non-employees as
compensation for services provided to the Company are accounted for based on the
fair value of the services provided or the estimated fair market value of the
option or warrant, whichever is more reliably measurable in accordance with FASB
ASC 505.50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees. The related expense is
recognized over the period the services are provided. For the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, stock options and warrants issued to
consultants and other non-employees as compensation for services that vested
during those periods totaled $286,472 and $292,993, and $99,219 and $381,219,
respectively.

Topic 855-10-05, which provides guidance to establish general standards of
accounting for and disclosures of events that occur after the balance sheet date
but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. SFAS
No. 165 also requires entities to disclose the date through which subsequent
events were evaluated as well as the rationale for why that date was selected.
SFAS No. 165 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15,
2009, and accordingly, the Company adopted this pronouncement during the second
quarter of 2009. SFAS No. 165 requires that public entities evaluate subsequent
events through the date that the financial statements are issued. The Group has
evaluated subsequent events through November 23, 2009.
The

considered original issue discount notes whereby the discounts (difference
between the face value of the note of $229,813 and value actually received of
$183,850) will be amortized over the lives of these notes. For the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company amortized interest expense
totaled $2,466 and $2,466, respectively. The remaining unamortized
original issue discount at September 30, 2009 totaled
$43,497. Additionally, the Company issued the note holders detachable
warrants totaling 275,775 shares of the Company’s common stock. The
Company has accounted for the warrants to purchase 275,775 shares under FASB ASC
470.20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options, as additional consideration
to the promissory note payable with an estimated fair value of $54,084 valued
using the Black-Scholes option pricing model under the following assumptions:
stock price volatility of 155%; risk free interest rate of 2.24%; dividend yield
of 0% and 5 year term. The face amount of the promissory notes of
$229,813 was proportionately allocated to debt and the estimated fair value of
the warrants in the amounts of $186,611 and $43,202,
respectively. The allocable estimated fair value of the warrants
totaling $43,202 has been accounted for as a debt discount that is being
amortized and treated as interest expense over the term of the promissory
notes. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, the
Company’s debt discount amortization expense totaled $3,048 and $3,048,
respectively The remaining unamortized debt discount at September 30,
2009 totaled $40,154.
NOTE
7 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE
In March
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"). From April 2008 through
September 2008, the Company closed an additional $3,210,097 for an aggregate
Subscription Agreement amount of $5,235,097. 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 $459,073 as deferred financing costs
associated with the closing that occurred on September 9, 2008. This amount
represents $197,049 for legal expenses associated with the private placement,
$149,403 paid to an investment banking company and $112,621 for the value of
warrants to purchase 143,403 shares of the Company’s common stock at $1.00 per
share for 5 years owed to the same investment banking company. These amounts are
being 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 FASB ASC 470.20, Debt with
Conversion and Other Options. The estimated fair value of the detachable
warrants of $4,462,663 has been determined using Black-Scholes option pricing
model using the following assumptions: stock price volatility of 124% to 125%,
risk free interest rate of 3.77%; dividend yield of 0% and 3 year term. The face
amount of the convertible debenture of $5,235,097 was proportionately allocated
to the debenture and the warrants in the amount of $2,849,425 and $2,385,672,
respectively. The convertible debentures’ proportionate allocated value of
$2,849,425 was then further allocated between the debenture and the beneficial
conversion feature, and the entire remaining value of $2,849,425 was allocated
to the beneficial conversion feature. The beneficial conversion feature of
$2,849,425 was allocated to the stock due upon conversion of $2,058,623 and the
warrants due upon conversion of $790,802. In accordance with FASB ASC
470.20, the beneficial conversion feature attributed to the warrants due upon
conversion of $790,802 is recorded as a debt discount and will not be amortized
until the notes are converted at which time the entire discount will be
expensed. The combined total value of the initial warrant and
beneficial conversion feature attributed to the stock of $4,444,295 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. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and
2008, the Company’s debt discount amortization expense totaled $357,128 and
$1,086,414, and $431,264, and $867,087, respectively. The remaining
unamortized debt discount at September 30, 2009 totaled $3,054,682.

NOTE
9 — 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.
In
February 2009, the Company received a notice of breach of one of their licensing
agreements. The Company does not plan to cure this breach. The
remaining obligation under this agreement of $200,000 related to the breach will
remain as a liability, and all of the prepaid royalties were expensed in
2008.

SEPTEMBER
30, 2009 AND 2008
(Unaudited)
In
February 2009, the Company terminated many of its employees in order to reduce
expenses and have retained the personnel necessary to continue key operations to
maintain sales. The Company does not anticipate or expect any
additional expenses related to the termination other than amounts earned up
through the date of termination. Included in accrued payroll related
liabilities on the accompanying balance sheet as of September 30, 2009 is
$77,680 related to potential severance liabilities owed to these terminated
employees. As part of the terminations, the Company allowed the
terminated employees to keep their computer equipment with a net book value of
$15,579 and accelerated the vesting of certain options.
On March
1, 2009, the Company signed a lease termination agreement for the headquarter
office. The Company paid $30,000, forfeited the security deposit of
approximately $11,000, transferred title to assets (office furniture, leasehold
improvements and a vehicle) with a net book value of $43,894, and issued 400,000
shares of common stock with a fair value of $60,000 in exchange for termination
of the original lease obligation and use of one small office and 1500 square
feet of storage rent free for at least nine months. The shares issued have a
provision limiting sales to a percentage of volume.
In June
2009, the Company signed deferred compensation agreements with five employees
and consultants. After February 2010, if the Company has not already
paid the deferred compensation in cash, the employee or consultant may request
the deferred compensation to be paid, and the Company will issue shares of
common stock, with the number of shares to be issued to be equal to the deferred
compensation amount divided by .05. As of September 30, 2009, the
deferred compensation amount is $286,477.
In
September 2009, the Company signed a one-year agency agreement with a company to
be a referring agent for the Falcon product and to develop a direct response
television (DRTV) relationship. Compensation under this agreement
includes: (i) a 50% commission will be paid based on the sales of referred
customers who purchase the Falcon at full retail price, (ii) stock valued at
$25,000 is due upon signing for a best effort sales and marketing relationship
to secure a DRTV relationship, and (iii) stock with a value of $50,000 will be
issued if an agreement for DRTV is reached. The Company has accrued $25,000 at
September 30, 2009 to the referring agent for the initial stock payment due as
the stock has yet to be issued. The Company expects that the commission paid per
unit will be renegotiated in the future. The initial commission was developed to
establish a track record in our initial direct consumer marketing
efforts.
NOTE
10 — 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. The remaining options were fully
vested on February 18, 2009 and the Company calculated the value of the options
using the Black-Scholes model based on the following assumptions: a risk-free
rate of 2.24%, volatility of 120%, estimated life of 10 years and a fair market
value of $0.20 per share. At March 31, 2004, the Company calculated the initial
value of the options using the Black-Scholes model based on the following

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 that 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 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 primarily on our on-line store.
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 many of its efforts to exploit opportunities in the consumer console and
PC interactive games market, and is also looking to expand its efforts in other
areas of computer touch in funded projects. 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 the primary focus of our operations, but we will continue to
develop our professional applications. We will devote much of our
resources to further developing the video game market and seeking new business
relationships with video game developers and publishers and hardware
manufacturers. We will also continue to perform project work across a
variety of professional applications.
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 that includes several games. In late 2007, we
launched an on-line game store where consumers can purchase and download a
variety of game titles. In 2008, we launched a pistol grip attachment
for the Falcon. Although our sales of the Novint Falcon and games
since product launch have been limited, sales of the Novint Falcon, the pistol
grip, and games have begun to increase resulting from the release of new
software and games in 2009. One of the most significant drivers of revenue for
Novint will be games and content. This is true not only in the revenue we
receive from the games themselves, but largely because this is a criterion we
see many of our customers desiring in order to justify the Falcon hardware
purchase. For example, if the Novint Falcon has many games available to play on
it, a customer can purchase a single piece of hardware and then over time
purchase multiple games that give a unique gaming experience, making the initial
hardware purchase valuable over a larger amount of time and across a larger
number of games. In 2008, we entered into licensing agreements with Valve
Software and Electronic Arts among others. Support for the Orange Box, Counter
Strike: Source, Battlefield 2, and Left 4 Dead were recently
released.

CRITICAL
ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Effective
July 1, 2009, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 105-10, “Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles.” ASC 105-10 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards
CodificationTM
(“Codification”) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized
by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of
financial statements in conformity with GAAP for SEC registrants. All guidance
contained in the Codification carries an equal level of authority. The
Codification supersedes all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards.
The FASB will now issue new standards in the form of Accounting Standards
Updates (“ASUs”). The FASB will not consider ASUs as authoritative in their own
right. ASUs will serve only to update the Codification, provide background
information about the guidance and provide the bases for conclusions on the
changes in the Codification. References made to FASB guidance have been updated
for the Codification throughout this document.
High-quality
financial statements require rigorous application of accounting policies. Our
policies are discussed in our financial statements for the quarter ended
September 30, 2009 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 2009. New
accounting policies and practices were implemented in 2008 and in 2009 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 FASB ASC 985.605, Software-Software Revenue Recognition, which 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 FASB ASC 985.605, 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.
FASB ASC
985.605 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 FASB ASC 605.35, Revenue
Recognition-Construction-Type and Production-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.
For
project revenue that is not under fixed price programming contracts, the Company
recognizes revenues as the services are completed.
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.
FASB ASC
605.45, Revenue Recognition-Principal Agent Considerations, 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.
3
Arrangements
made with certain customers, including slotting fees and co-operative
advertising, are accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC 605.45. 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.
FASB ASC
605.45, 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.
FASB ASC
605.45, 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.
SOFTWARE
DEVELOPMENT COSTS — We account for our software development costs in accordance
with FASB ASC 985.20, Software-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.
The
Company follows ASC 350.40, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use
Software, which requires capitalization of certain costs incurred during the
development of internal use software.
STOCK
BASED COMPENSATION – We account for stock based compensation in accordance with
SFAS FASB ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, 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.
Stock
options and warrants issued to consultants and other non-employees as
compensation for services provided to the Company are accounted for based on the
fair value of the services provided or the estimated fair market value of the
option or warrant, whichever is more reliably measurable in accordance with FASB
ASC 505.50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees. The related expense is
recognized over the period the services are provided.

RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
THREE
MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,
2008.
REVENUES.
During the three months ended September 30, 2009, we had revenues of $355,169 as
compared to revenues of $76,149 during the three months ended September 30,
2008, an increase of approximately 366%. During the three months ended September
30, 2009, our revenues were derived from the development of professional
applications for customers totaling $241,953 and the sale of our haptics
technology products totaling $113,216. Our sales of our haptics
technology products increased 58% from 2008, while our revenues from the
development of professional applications increased 5,277% as we continued to
place emphasis on our professional applications during the
quarter. We will continue to provide development of professional
applications, and in 2009 we expect to grow this part of our business similarly
to how we have in the past. Much of our focus will remain on the
video game business, but we expect to place more emphasis on professional
applications in our Advanced Products Group than we had from 2006 to
2008.
COST OF
GOODS SOLD AND GROSS PROFIT (LOSS). Cost of goods sold, which consists of the
cost of the haptics technology products sold, materials purchased for resale to
customers, the direct labor incurred for delivering on projects, warehousing and
freight costs, and inventory write-downs were $338,307 for the three months
ended September 30, 2009, compared to $126,086 for the three months ended
September 30, 2008. Our overall gross profit percentage was
approximately 5% for the three months ended September 30, 2009, compared to a
gross loss percentage of (66)% for the three months ended September 30,
2008. For the three months ended September 30, 2009, our gross profit
from our development of professional applications approximated 40%, an increase
from a gross profit of 33% for the third quarter of 2008, due to securing more
profitable contracts in the quarter. Our gross loss experienced from the sale of
our haptics technology product in the third quarter of 2009 was (71)%, a slight
improvement from 2008 when the gross loss percentage was (72)%. Our
gross loss experienced from the sales of our haptics technology product
continues to be impacted by the reorganization of our distribution systems to
drive cost effectiveness, as well as some promotional pricing that we had in the
quarter. In the
three months ended September 30, 2009, the Company incurred one-time charges of
approximately $32,000 relocating the majority of the inventory to a new
warehouse location in New Mexico. Additionally, there was an
inventory write-down of approximately $28,500 related to costs for sales of
games. By the end of September, we had completed the reorganization of
our distribution systems, and will be able to operate at a lower cost than in
the past. Warehousing costs for the three months ended
September 30, 2009 and 2008 were $13,456 and $41,676, respectively.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
EXPENSES. Research and development totaled $38,164 for the three
months ended September 30, 2009 compared to $323,649 for the three months ended
September 30, 2008, a decrease of $285,485 or 88%. During 2008, we
focused on the development of games for use with the Falcon. In 2009,
we decreased the rate of development of new software associated with the haptics
technology product to match the release schedule of our games.
GENERAL
AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. General and administrative expenses totaled
$703,020 for the three months ended September 30, 2009, compared to $1,172,334
for the three months ended September 30, 2008, a decrease of $469,314 or
40%. In 2009, we are reorganizing our infrastructure to significantly
reduce our costs, while still continuing to market our product. The
decrease in general and administrative expenses compared to the prior year was
primarily related to this reorganization. Business and professional
fees increased approximately $188,000 to assist with operational issues and
sales and marketing, while insurance expense decreased $55,000, royalty expense
increased approximately $1,000, rent decreased $33,000, and payroll and other
overhead expenses decreased approximately $570,000 largely due to a reduction in
the number of our employees.
5
DEPRECIATION
AND AMORTIZATION EXPENSE. Depreciation and amortization expense
totaled $147,256 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to
$161,416 for the three months ended September 30, 2008, a decrease of $14,160 or
9%. This expense decreased between the two periods as a result of a
reduction in fixed assets as we restructured in the beginning of
2009.
SALES AND
MARKETING EXPENSE. Sales and marketing expense totaled $80,132 for
the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to $152,479 for the three
months ended September 30, 2008, a decrease of $72,347 or 47%. In
2009, we had fewer co-op marketing programs with retailers as we refocused our
distribution channels, and there was a general reduction in marketing efforts as
we restructured our infrastructure. We did promotional programs this quarter to
stimulate sales of the Falcon product.
LOSS FROM
OPERATIONS. We had a loss from operations of $951,710 for the three
months ended September 30, 2009, compared to a loss from operations of
$1,859,815 for the three months ended September 30, 2008. Our net losses have
decreased $908,105 primarily as a result of the increase in project revenue and
the decrease in our operating expenses as described above.
NET LOSS.
We had a net loss of $1,529,830, or $0.05 per share, for the three months ended
September 30, 2009, compared to $2,335,438, or $0.07 per share, for the three
months ended September 30, 2008. There was a decrease in the net loss of
$805,608, which is a result of a decrease in the loss from operations of
approximately $908,105, a decrease in interest income of approximately $1,000,
and a net increase in interest expense and debt discount related to convertible
debt of approximately $101,000.
NINE
MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 COMPARED TO THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,
2008.
REVENUES.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we had revenues of $700,842 as
compared to revenues of $232,077 during the nine months ended September 30,
2008, an increase of approximately 202%. During the nine months ended September
30, 2009, our revenues were derived from the development of professional
applications for customers totaling $477,378 and the sale of our haptics
technology products totaling $223,464. Our sales of our haptics
technology products increased 23% from 2008, while our revenues from the
development of professional applications increased 850% as we placed emphasis on
our professional applications during 2009 while we were restructuring our
distribution channels for the haptics product. We will continue to
provide development of professional applications, and in 2009 we expect to grow
this part of our business similarly to how we have in the past. Much
of our focus will remain on the video game business, but we expect to place more
emphasis on professional applications in our Advanced Products Group than we had
from 2006 to 2008.
COST OF
GOODS SOLD AND GROSS PROFIT (LOSS). Cost of goods sold, which consists of the
cost of the haptics technology products sold, materials purchased for resale to
customers, the direct labor incurred for delivering on projects, warehousing and
freight costs, and inventory write-downs were $686,307 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009, compared to $354,106 for the nine months ended September 30,
2008. Our overall gross profit percentage was approximately 2% for
the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared to a gross loss percentage of
(53)% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. For the nine
months ended September 30, 2009, our gross profit from our development of
professional applications approximated 29%, an increase from a gross profit of
26% for the first nine months of 2008, due to securing more profitable contracts
in 2009. Our gross loss experienced from the sale of our haptics technology
product for the nine months ended September 20, 2009 was (56)%, an improvement
from 2008 when the gross loss percentage was (74)%. Our gross loss
experienced from the sales of our haptics technology product continues to be
impacted by the reorganization of our distribution systems to drive cost
effectiveness, as well as some promotional pricing. In the

EXPENSES. Research and development totaled $167,837 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2009 compared to $918,580 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2008, a decrease of $750,743 or 82%. During 2008, we
focused on the development of games for use with the Falcon. In 2009,
we have decreased the rate of development of new software associated with the

games.
GENERAL

for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, a decrease of $1,840,968 or
49%. In 2009, we are reorganizing our infrastructure to significantly
reduce our costs, while still continuing to market our product. The
decrease in general and administrative expenses compared to the prior year was
primarily related to this reorganization. Business and professional
fees decreased approximately $418,000, insurance expense decreased $113,000,
royalty expense decreased approximately $31,000, rent increased approximately
$75,000 as we reached an agreement for an early termination of an office lease
in the first quarter of 2009, and payroll and other overhead expenses
decreased approximately $1,354,000 largely due to a reduction in the number of
employees.
DEPRECIATION
AND AMORTIZATION EXPENSE. Depreciation and amortization expense
totaled $449,944 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to
$379,606 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, an increase of $70,338 or
19%. This expense increased between the two periods as a result of an
increase in our investment in fixed assets, intangibles, and capitalized
software and hardware in late 2008.
SALES AND
MARKETING EXPENSE. Sales and marketing expense totaled $164,443 for
the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to $378,688 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2008, a decrease of $214,245 or 57%. In
2009, we had fewer co-op marketing programs with retailers as we refocused our
distribution channels, and there was a general reduction in marketing efforts as
we restructured our infrastructure.
LOSS FROM
OPERATIONS. We had a loss from operations of $2,659,689 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2009, compared to a loss from operations of
$5,531,871 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. Our net losses have
decreased $2,872,182 primarily as a result of the increase in project revenue
and the decrease in our operating expenses as described above.
NET LOSS.
We had a net loss of $4,292,674, or $0.13 per share, for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009, compared to $6,458,471, or $0.20 per share, for the nine
months ended September 30, 2008. There was a decrease in the net loss of
$2,165,797, which is a result of a decrease in the loss from operations of
approximately $2,872,000, a decrease in interest income of approximately
$15,000, a net increase in interest expense and debt discount related to
convertible debt of approximately $678,000, and an increase in other expenses of
$13,000.
LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of
September 30, 2009, we had a total cash balance of $128,870. Our cash
flow from operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2009
resulted in a deficit of $486,563 compared with a deficit of $6,854,742 in the
same period of the prior year. This decrease in the deficit from
operating activities of approximately $6,368,179 was a result of a reduction in
operating losses and fewer investments in prepaid expenses and
inventory. Our cash flow from investing activities for the nine
months ended September 30, 2009 resulted in a deficit of $25,788 compared with a
deficit of $260,834 in the same period of the prior year, representing less
investment in fixed assets and investments in games through both licensing and
internal development. Our cash flow from financing activities for the nine
months ended September 30, 2009 resulted in a surplus of $585,906 from the
issuance of notes payable compared to a surplus of $4,987,096 in the same period
of the prior year primarily from the net proceeds from convertible notes
payable. Overall, our cash increased by $73,555 during the nine
months ended September 30, 2009.
The
financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which
contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in
the normal course of business. The Company has incurred recurring losses and at
September 30, 2009, had an accumulated deficit of $34,684,588. For the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company sustained a net loss of
$1,529,830 and $4,292,674, respectively. These factors, among others, indicate
that the Company may be unable to continue as a going concern for a reasonable
period of time. These financial statements do not include any adjustments
relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or
the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary should the
Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company's continuation as
a going concern is contingent upon its ability to obtain additional financing
and to generate revenue and cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely
basis.
7
The
Company believes there are several factors in continuing as a going concern. The
Company has dramatically reduced operating expenses and staff during the nine
months in 2009 and will continue do so in areas deemed non-essential during 2009
while maintaining the resources to continue to sell its hardware and software
products. Additionally, in the immediate timeframe, the Company has put more
emphasis on haptics development projects. These projects have historically
generated revenues and expanded the intellectual property portfolio. Next, the
Company is anticipating the release of new top tier games in the second half of
2009, which should generate additional product sales. Lastly, the
Company will continue to seek and raise additional funding through debt or
equity financing during the next twelve months.
Contractual
Obligations

currently have fixed contractual obligations or commitments that include future
estimated payments.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We do not
have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to
have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial
condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital
expenditures, or capital resources that is material to our
investors.
