NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2009 AND 2008
(Unaudited)
 
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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2009 AND 2008
(Unaudited)
 
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, respectively.

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 new maturity date of December 4, 2010 and an annual interest rate of eight percent (8%). The new note would be convertible into common stock at a rate of $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 of $275,000 was proportionately allocated to debt and the estimated fair value of the warrants in the amounts of $236,597 and $38,403, respectively.  The allocable estimated fair value of the warrants totaling $38,403 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 $2,622.  The remaining unamortized debt discount at March 31, 2009 totaled $35,781.

NOTE 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.

NOTE 8 — 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.

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.

In May 2009, the Company issued 8,578 shares of common stock to a director of the Company for compensation.  The Company recorded $4,260 in Accrued Expenses, Related Parties as of March 31, 2009 for these shares.

In May 2009, the Company issued 25,000 shares of common stock to a consultant as compensation.  The Company recorded $12,500 in Accrued Expenses as of March 31, 2009 for these shares.

In May 2009, the Company issued 400,000 shares of common stock as part of the lease settlement for the New Mexico office.  The Company recorded $60,000 in Accrued Expenses as of March 31, 2009 for these shares.

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.

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.

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.
