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-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 months ended
March 31, 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 March 31, 2009
presentation.
Nature
of Business
The
Company 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
March 31, 2009, had an accumulated deficit of $31,977,465. For the three months
ended March 31, 2009, the Company sustained a net loss of $1,585,551. 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.
The
Company believes there are several factors in continuing as a going concern. The
Company has dramatically reduced operating expenses and staff in the first
quarter of 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 on releasing new top tier games in the first half of
2009, which should generate additional product sales. Lastly, the
Company will seek to 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 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, 2009, the
Company’s capitalized software development costs totaled $555,886 (net of
$392,564 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, 2009 and 2008
totaled $42,771 and $37,758, 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, 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 $18,544 and
$24,170 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008,
respectively.
Intangible
Assets
Intangible
assets consist of licensing agreements of $1,245,543 and patents of $48,595 and
are carried at cost less accumulated amortization of $698,328 at March 31,
2009. Amortization is computed using the straight-line method over
the economic life of the assets, which range between 3 and 20 years. For the
three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company recognized amortization
expense of approximately $92,446 and $37,219, respectively, related to
intangible assets.

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 provisions of SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets. SFAS 142 requires intangible assets to be tested for impairment in
accordance with SFAS 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and
for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of, which has been superseded by SFAS 144,
Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. 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 months ended March 31, 2009 or 2008.
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 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, 2009 and 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 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, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company recorded $29,061 and 29,662,
respectively, 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,
2009 and 2008 approximated $6,509 and $8,140, 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, 2009 and December 31, 2008,
the Company accrued $15,000 and $17,000, respectively, as warranty
reserve.
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
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, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company had a total
of 10,047,109 and 10,783,473, respectively, in potentially dilutive
securities.
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 $120,466 and $122,139 in employee share-based compensation
expense for the three months ended March 31, 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 months ended March 31, 2009, the
following assumptions were used: closing price of the common stock at the date
of grant, risk-free rates ranged from 4.00% 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 $1.06 per share. 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.
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 SFAS
123 and Emerging Issues Task Force No. 96-18, Accounting for Equity Investments
That are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring or in Conjunction with
Selling Goods or Services, including related amendments and
interpretations. The related expense is recognized over the period the services
are provided. For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, stock options
and warrants issued to consultants and other non-employees as compensation for
services that vested during those periods totaled $(40,801) and $134,571,

5 – NOTES PAYABLE
In
December 2008, the Company issued two promissory notes totaling $300,000 secured
by all of the Company’s intellectual property at an annual interest rate of
eight percent (8%), with principal and interest due at maturity and a maturity
date of December 4, 2009. If the notes are not paid back by the
maturity date, then the Company will have the right but not the obligation to
refinance the notes with new notes equaling the interest and principal from the
first note, with a new maturity date of December 4, 2010 and an annual interest
rate of eight percent (8%). The new notes are convertible into common stock at a
rate of $0.50/share. Additionally, the Company issued each note
holder a detachable warrant for 150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for
a total of 300,000 shares. The Company has accounted for the warrants
to purchase 300,000 shares under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 14,
“Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt Issued with Stock Purchase
Warrants,” as additional consideration to the promissory notes payable with
an estimated fair value of $100,962 valued using the Black-Scholes option
pricing model under the following assumptions: stock price volatility of 119%;
risk free interest rate of 2.24%; dividend yield of 0%; and 5 year
term. The face amount of the promissory notes of $300,000 was
proportionately allocated to debt and the estimated fair value of the warrants
in the amounts of $224,460 and $75,540, respectively. The allocable
estimated fair value of the warrants totaling $75,540 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 months ended March 31,

In
January 2009, the Company issued a promissory note totaling $100,000 secured by
all of the Company’s intellectual property, annual interest rate of eight
percent (8%), principal and interest due at maturity, and maturity date of
December 4, 2009. If the note is not paid back by the maturity date,
then Novint will have the right but not the obligation to refinance the note
with a new note equaling the interest and principal from the first note, with a

$0.50/share. Additionally, the Company issued the note holder a
detachable warrant for 100,000 shares of the Company’s common
stock. The Company has accounted for the warrant to purchase 100,000
shares under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 14, “Accounting for
Convertible Debt and Debt Issued with Stock Purchase Warrants,” as
additional consideration to the promissory note payable with an estimated fair
value of $37,479 valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model under the
following assumptions: stock price volatility of 117%; risk free interest rate
of 2.24%; dividend yield of 0%; and 5 year term. The face amount of
the promissory notes of $100,000 was proportionately allocated to debt and the
estimated fair value of the warrants in the amounts of $72,738 and $27,262,
respectively. The allocable estimated fair value of the warrants
totaling $27,262 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 months ended March 31, 2009, the Company’s debt
discount amortization expense totaled $6,395. The remaining
unamortized debt discount at March 31, 2009 totaled $20,867.
During
February and March 2009, the Company received $220,000 for three promissory
notes totaling $275,000 with 150% warrant coverage. The notes are
secured by all of the Company’s assets and intellectual property, with no stated
interest rate and principal due in February 2010. These notes are
considered original issue discount notes whereby the discount (difference
between the face value of the notes of $275,000 and amounts actually received of
$220,000) will be amortized over the lives of the notes. For the three months
ended March 31, 2009, the Company amortized interest expense totaled
$3,222. The remaining unamortized original issue discount at March
31, 2009 totaled 51,778. If the notes are prepaid, the exercise price
of the warrants will adjust to the fair market value of the Company’s stock at
the time of prepayment, subject to a floor of $0.02 and a ceiling of $1.00. If
an investor sells any shares of our common stock during 120 days prior to the
maturity date of the note, the strike price will automatically reset to $2.00.
If the notes are not paid back by the maturity date, then the Company will have
the right but not the obligation to refinance the notes with new notes
equaling the principal and accrued interest from the first note, with a new
maturity date one year later and an annual interest rate of five percent (5%).
The new note would be convertible into common stock at a rate of $0.0625/share
on the principal balance only. The conversion rate is subject to change based
upon the provision in the note. The Company has accounted for the
150% warrants coverage to purchase 330,000 shares under Accounting Principles
Board Opinion No. 14, “Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt Issued with
Stock Purchase Warrants,” as additional consideration to the promissory
notes payable with an estimated fair value of $44,677 valued using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model under the following assumptions: stock price
volatility ranging from 122% to 142%; risk free interest rate of 2.24%; dividend
yield of 0%; and 5 year term. The face amount of the promissory notes

6 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE
In March
2008, the Company closed a $2,025,000 private placement of debt securities under
Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
pursuant to the terms of a subscription agreement among the Company and the
subscribers’ signatory thereto (the "Subscription Agreement"). From April 2008
through June 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 recorded $459,073 as deferred financing costs associated
with the closing that occurred on June 9, 2008. This amount represents $197,049
for legal expenses associated with the private placement, of which $117,855
remains accrued for at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, $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 Emerging Issues Task Force
No. 00-27 and 00-19. 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 a 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 EITF
00-27, 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 months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, the
Company’s debt discount amortization expense totaled $352,482 and $0,
respectively. The remaining unamortized debt discount at March 31,
2009 totaled $3,780,006.
As the
notes are non-interest bearing for the first year, the Company has imputed
interest for the first year. The Company recorded interest expense of
$60,239 related to these convertible notes for the three months ended March 31,
2009. As of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company accrued
interest of $235,143 and $174,904, respectively.

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.
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 will issue
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 six months. The shares issued
have a provision limiting sales to a percentage of volume. As the
shares have not been issued, the value of $60,000 is included as accrued
expenses on the accompanying balance sheet as of March 31, 2009.
In
February 2009, the Company terminated many of its employees in order to reduce
expenses. They 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 March 31,
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 $15,759 and accelerated the vesting of certain
options.

9 — 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, 2009, 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 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 $(1,651) and
$4,890 was recorded as consultant expense during the three months ended March
31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

years, and a fair market value of $0.20 per share. The vesting schedule is
prorated over the reporting period, and approximately $(8,910) and $14,000 was
recorded as consulting expense during the three months ended March 31, 2009 and
2008, respectively.
On
March 9, 2006, the Company granted 250,000 options to purchase common stock
to an employee, who is the brother of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, at
an exercise price of $1.00 per share. The options have a ten year term, and a
vesting schedule of 50,000 shares per year beginning March 9, 2007. At
March 9, 2006, the Company calculated the initial value of the options
using the Black-Scholes model based on the following assumptions: a risk-free
rate of 4.86%, volatility of 36%, 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 approximately $7,135 and $7,135 was
recorded as consulting expense during the three months ended March 31, 2009 and
2008, respectively.
In
November 2006, the Company granted 1,500,000 options to purchase common stock to
one of the members of the Company’s Board of Directors for future consulting
services at an exercise price of $0.90 per share. The options have a 2-year
annual vesting provision which 750,000 these options vested immediately. At
December 31, 2006, the Company calculated the initial value of these options
using the Black-Scholes model based on the following assumptions: a risk-free
rate of 5.15%, volatility of 146%, estimated life of 10 years, and a fair market
value of $1.05 per share. The vesting schedule is prorated over the reporting
period, and approximately $0 (fully vested as of December 31, 2008) and $61,496
was recorded as consultant expense during the three months ended March 31, 2009
and 2008, respectively.

MANAGEMENT’S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS.
|
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 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 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 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,
we anticipate sales of the Novint Falcon, the pistol grip, and games 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, and therefore
several new AAA level games will soon be supported by the Falcon.

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, 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 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.
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.
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.
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.
3
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 SFAS
123 and Emerging Issues Task Force No. 96-18, Accounting for Equity Investments
That are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring or in Conjunction with
Selling Goods or Services, including related amendments and
interpretations. The related expense is recognized over the period the services
are provided.

RECENT
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.
RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
THREE
MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2009 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31,
2008.
REVENUES.
During the three months ended March 31, 2009, we had revenues of $131,722 as
compared to revenues of $71,829 during the three months ended March 31, 2008, an
increase of approximately 83%. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, our
revenues were derived from the development of professional applications for
customers totaling $106,874 and the sale of our haptics technology products
totaling $24,848. Our sales of our haptics technology products
decreased 44% from 2008, while our revenues from the development of professional
applications increased 288% as we placed more 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 $134,230 for the three months
ended March 31, 2009, compared to $101,989 for the three months ended March 31,
2008. Our overall gross loss percentage was approximately (2)% for
the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to a gross loss percentage of
(42)% for the three months ended March 31, 2008. For the three months
ended March 31, 2009, our gross profit from our development of professional
applications approximated 17%, a slight decrease from a gross profit of 23% for
the first quarter of 2008. Our gross loss experienced from the sale of our
haptics technology product in the first quarter of 2009 was (82)%, an
improvement from 2008 when the gross loss percentage was (83)%. Our
gross loss experienced from the sales of our haptics technology product
continues to be impacted by our high warehousing and fulfillment
costs. This is a primary reason we reevaluated our distribution
channels in this quarter. Warehousing costs for the three months
ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 were $23,282 and $21,919,
respectively.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
EXPENSES. Research and development totaled $72,838 for the three
months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $313,526 for the three months ended
March 31, 2008, a decrease of $240,688 or 77%. During the first
quarter of 2008, we focused on the development of games for use with the
Falcon. In the first quarter of 2009, we have 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
$777,899 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to $1,306,282 for
the three months ended March 31, 2008, a decrease of $528,383 or
40%. In 2009, we are reorganizing our infrastructure to significantly
reduce our costs, while still continuing to market the 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 $355,000, royalty expense decreased approximately
$21,000, rent increased $136,000 as we reached an agreement for an early
termination of an office lease, and payroll and other overhead expenses
decreased approximately $288,000 largely due to a reduction in the number of
employees.
DEPRECIATION
AND AMORTIZATION EXPENSE. Depreciation and amortization expense
totaled $153,761 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $99,147
for the three months ended March 31, 2008, an increase of $54,614 or
55%. 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.
5
SALES AND
MARKETING EXPENSE. Sales and marketing expense totaled $70,136 for
the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $131,849 for the three months
ended March 31, 2008, a decrease of $61,713 or 47%. In 2009, we had
fewer co-op marketing programs with retailers as we refocused our distribution
channels.
LOSS FROM
OPERATIONS. We had a loss from operations of $1,077,142 for the three
months ended March 31, 2009, compared to a loss from operations of $1,880,964
for the three months ended March 31, 2008. Our net losses have decreased
$803,822 primarily as a result of the decrease in our operating expenses as
described above.
NET LOSS.
We had a net loss of $1,585,551, or $0.05 per share, for the three months ended
March 31, 2009, compared to $1,867,209, or $0.06 per share, for the three months
ended March 31, 2008. There was a decrease in the net loss of $281,658, which is
a result of a decrease in the loss from operations of approximately $803,000, a
decrease in interest income of approximately $12,000, a net increase in interest
expense and debt discount related to convertible debt of approximately $497,000,
and an increase in other expense of approximately $13,000.
LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of
March 31, 2009, we had a total cash balance of $78,632. Our cash flow
from operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2009 resulted in
a deficit of $261,951 compared with a deficit of $2,927,304 in the same period
of the prior year. This decrease in the deficit from operating
activities of approximately $2,665,000 was a result of an increase in payables
and accrued expenses and an overall increase in non-cash reconciling
items. Our cash flow from investing activities for the three months
ended March 31, 2009 resulted in a deficit of $20,863 compared with a deficit of
$127,646 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 three months ended
March 31, 2009 resulted in a surplus of $306,131 from the issuance of notes
payable compared to a surplus of $1,965,000 in the same period of the prior year
from the net proceeds from convertible notes payable. Overall, our
cash increased by $23,317 during the three months ended March 31,
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 incurred recurring losses and, at
March 31, 2009, had an accumulated deficit of $31,977,465. For the three months
ended March 31, 2009, the Company sustained a net loss of $1,585,551. These
factors, among others, indicate that the Company may be unable to continue as a
going concern for a reasonable period of time. The 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.
The
Company believes there are several factors in continuing as a going concern. The
Company has dramatically reduced operating expenses and staff in the first
quarter of 2009 and will continue do so in areas deemed non-essential during
2009, while maintaining the resources to continue to sell our 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. The Company
will be releasing new AAA games in the first half of 2009, which should generate
additional product sales. Lastly, the Company will seek to raise additional
funding through debt or equity financing during the next twelve
months.

Contractual
Obligations
We have
an operating lease for our office located in San Diego, California that expires
on July 31, 2009. The monthly rent for this location is
$4,040.
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.
