Introduction
eMagin
Corporation designs, develops, manufactures, and markets virtual imaging
products which utilize OLEDs, or organic light emitting diodes, OLED-on-silicon
microdisplays and related information technology solutions. We integrate OLED
technology with silicon chips to produce high-resolution microdisplays smaller
than one-inch diagonally which, when viewed through a magnifier, create virtual
images that appear comparable in size to that of a computer monitor or a
large-screen television. Our products enable our original equipment
manufacturer, or OEM, customers to develop and market improved or new electronic
products. We believe that virtual imaging will become an important way for
increasingly mobile people to have quick access to high resolution data, work,
and experience new more immersive forms of communications and entertainment.
Our
first
commercial product, the SVGA+ (Super Video Graphics Array of 800x600 plus 52
added columns of data) OLED microdisplay was initially offered for sampling
in
2001, and our first SVGA-3D (Super Video Graphics Array plus built-in
stereovision capability) OLED microdisplay was shipped in early 2002. We are
in
the process of completing development of 2 additional OLED microdisplays, namely
the SVGA 3DS (SVGA 3D shrink, a smaller format SVGA display with a new cell
architecture with embedded features) and an SXGA (1280 x 1024).
In
January 2005 we announced the world's first personal display system to combine
OLED technology with head-tracking and 3D stereovision, the Z800 3DVisor(tm),
which was first shipped in mid-2005. This product received a CES Design and
Innovations Award for the electronic gaming category and also received the
coveted Best of Innovation Awards for the entire display category. The product
was also recognized as a Digital Living Class of 2005 Innovators. In January
2006 we unveiled prototypes of our upcoming X800 3DVisor and Eyebud(tm) Personal
Display Systems. The Eyebud for use with video iPods was identified as an
important new electronics product by several major publications including USA
Today.
We
have
now accepted purchase agreements for larger quantities of our commercial
microdisplay products and virtual imaging subsystems which combine displays
with
lenses. These products are being applied or considered for near-eye and headset
applications in products such as entertainment and gaming headsets, handheld
Internet and telecommunication appliances, viewfinders, and wearable computers
to be manufactured by OEM customers for military, medical, industrial, and
consumer applications. We market our products globally.
Our
OLED-on-silicon microdisplays offer a number of advantages over current liquid
crystal microdisplays, including greatly increased system level power
efficiency, less weight and wider viewing angles. Using our active matrix OLED
technology, many computer and video electronic system functions can be built
directly into the OLED-on-silicon microdisplay, resulting in compact systems
with expected lower overall system costs relative to alternate microdisplay
technologies. We have developed our own technology to create high performance
OLED-on-silicon microdisplays and related optical systems and we have licensed
certain fundamental OLED and display technology from Eastman Kodak.
As
the
first to exploit OLED technology for microdisplays, and with the support of
our
partners and the development of our intellectual property, we believe that
we
enjoy a significant advantage in the commercialization of this display
technology for virtual imaging. We believe we are the only company to sell
full-color active matrix small molecule OLED-on-silicon
microdisplays.
eMagin
Corporation was created through the merger of Fashion Dynamics Corporation
("FDC"), which was organized on January 23, 1996 under the laws of the State
of
Nevada and FED Corporation ("FED"), a developer and manufacturer of optical
systems and microdisplays for use in the electronics industry. FDC had no active
business operations other than to acquire an interest in a business. On March
16, 2000, FDC acquired FED. The merged company changed its name to eMagin
Corporation. Following the merger, the business conducted by the Company is
the
business conducted by FED prior to the merger.
Our
website is located at www.emagin.com
and our
e-commerce site is www.3dvisor.com.
We make
available on our website, free of charge, our annual report on Forms 10K and
10KSB, our proxy statement, our quarterly reports on Forms 10Q and 10QSB, our
current reports on Form 8K, and all amendments to such reports filed under
the
Securities and Exchange Act, earnings press releases, and other business-related
press releases. We also post on our website the charters of our Audit,
Compensation, and Governance and Nominating committees, our Codes of Ethics
and
any amendments of or waiver to those codes of ethics, and other corporate
governance materials recommended by the Securities and Exchange Commission
and
the American Stock Exchange as they occur.
Industry
Overview
The
overall flat panel display industry is predicted to approach $100 billion in
2008, according to market research by iSuppli Corporation (Strategic Display
Outlook, April 2005), with OLED sales of $2.25 billion and a compound annual
growth rate of 51.5%. Within the flat panel industry there are various sizes
and
applications of flat panel displays, ranging from wall size signage to
calculator and viewfinder displays. Displays are sold as independent products
(such as flat TVs) or as components of other systems (such as laptop computers).
Our products target one segment of the flat panel industry which is known as
near-to-the-eye or near-eye microdisplays because they are viewed through a
lens
rather than directly, in comparison to desktop computer screens which are known
as direct view displays.
4
Near-eye
virtual imaging using microdisplays are used in small optically magnified
devices such as video headsets, camcorders, viewfinders and other portable
devices. Microdisplays are typically of such high resolution that they are
only
practically viewed with magnifying optics. Although the displays are typically
physically smaller than a postage stamp, they can provide a magnified viewing
area similar to that of a full size computer screen. For example, when magnified
through a lens, a high-resolution 0.6-inch diagonal display can appear
comparable to a 19 to 21-inch diagonal computer screen at about 2 feet from
the
viewer or a 60-inch TV screen at about 6 feet. One version of our display and
optic recreates the virtual imaging viewing and sound experience of sitting
in
the middle seat of a typical movie theater.
The
microdisplay market, according to McLaughlin Consulting Group, is expected
to
grow to at least $4 billion in 2008. Insight Media and the McLaughlin Consulting
Group predict particularly significant growth in one segment of that market
-
consumer products. Their joint "Personal Displays: Opportunity Analysis and
Forecast 2005" focuses on microdisplay-enabled personal electronics for
consumers as well as professionals in vertical markets. According to the joint
analysis, wireless services and consumer electronic companies, in combination
with display developers, will introduce a new generation of communications
and
entertainment solutions incorporating headset personal displays over the next
few years. As a result, sales of such display headsets are forecast at over
$1
billion by 2009.
We
believe that the most significant driver of the near-eye virtual imaging
microdisplay market is growing consumer demand for mobile access to larger
volumes of information and entertainment in smaller packages. This desire for
mobility has resulted in the development of near-eye microdisplay products
in
two general categories: (i) an established market for electronic viewers
incorporated in products such as viewfinders for digital cameras and video
cameras which may potentially also be developed as personal viewers for cell
phones and (ii) an emerging market for headset-application platforms which
include accessories for mobile devices such as notebook and sub-notebook
computers, portable DVD systems, electronic games, and other entertainment,
and
wearable computers.
Until
now, near-eye virtual imaging microdisplay technologies have not simultaneously
met all of the requirements for high resolution, full color, low power
consumption, brightness, lifetime, size and cost which are required for
successful commercialization in OEM consumer products. We believe that our
new
OLED-on-silicon microdisplay product line meets these requirements better than
alternative products and will help to enable virtual imaging to emerge as an
important display industry segment.
Our
Approach: OLED-on-Silicon Microdisplays and Optics
There
are
two basic classes of organic light emitting diode, or OLED, technology, dubbed
single molecule or small molecule (monomer) and polymer. Our microdisplays
are
currently based upon active matrix molecular OLED technology, which we call
OLED-on-silicon because we build the displays directly on silicon chips. Our
OLED-on-silicon technology uniquely permits millions of individual low-voltage
light sources to be built on low-cost, silicon computer chips to produce single
color, white or full-color display arrays. OLED-on-silicon microdisplays offer
a
number of advantages over current liquid crystal microdisplays, including
increased brightness, lower power requirements, less weight and wider viewing
angles. Using our OLED technology, many computer and video electronic system
functions can be built directly into the silicon chip, under the OLED film,
resulting in very compact, integrated systems with lowered overall system costs
relative to alternative technologies.
We
have
developed our own proprietary and patented technology to create high performance
OLED-on-silicon microdisplays and related optical systems, and we license
fundamental OLED technology from Eastman Kodak. (See "Intellectual Property"
and
"Strategic Relationships"). We expect that the integration of our
OLED-on-silicon microdisplays into mobile electronic products will result in
lower overall system costs to our OEM customers.
We
believe that our OLED-on-silicon microdisplays will initiate a new generation
of
virtual imaging products that could have a profound impact on many industries.
Headsets providing virtual screens surrounding the user in a sphere of data
become a practical reality with our displays and a low cost head tracker.
Because our microdisplays generate and emit light, they have a wider viewing
angle than competing liquid crystal microdisplays, and because they have the
same high brightness at all forward viewing angles, our microdisplays permit
a
large field-of-view and superior optical image.
The
wider
viewing angle of our display results in the following superior optical
characteristics in comparison with LCDs and other near-eye display technologies:
· |
the
user does not need to as accurately position the head-wearable display
to
the eye;
|
· |
the
image will change minimally with eye movement and appear more natural;
and
|
· |
the
display can be placed further from the eye and not cut off part of
the
image.
|
5
In
addition, our OLED-on-silicon microdisplays offer faster response times and
use
much less power than competitive liquid crystal microdisplay systems. Our
subsystem-level power consumption is so low that two SVGA, full color, full
speed motion video computer displays can easily be run in stereovision off
the
power from a single USB port on a portable computer. Battery life is extended
and weight is greatly reduced in systems using our products.
Our
SVGA+
OLED microdisplay stores all the color and luminance value information at each
of the more than 1.5 million picture elements, or pixels, between refresh cycles
in the display array, eliminating the flicker or color breakup seen by most
other high-resolution microdisplay technologies. Even power efficient frame
rates as low as 30 Hz can usually be used effectively. Power consumption at
the
system level is expected to be the lowest of any full-color, full-video SVGA
resolution range, large view microdisplay on the market. The OLED's ability
to
emit light at wide angles allows customers to create large field of view
(approx. 40 degrees), wide image capture range images from very compact,
low-cost, one-piece optical systems. The display contains the majority of the
electronics required for connection to the RGB (red, green, blue signal) port
of
a portable computer imbedded in its silicon chip backplane, thereby eliminating
many other components required by other display technologies such as
digital-analog converters, application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs),
light sources, multiple optical elements, and other components. We believe
that
these features will enable our new class of microdisplay to potentially be
the
most compact, highest image quality, and lowest cost solution for high
resolution near-eye applications, once they are in full production.
We
have
commercialized two OLED microdisplay products, our SVGA+ resolution
microdisplay, which contains 1.53 million picture elements, and our
stereovision-capable SVGA-3D microdisplay, which contains 1.44 million picture
elements. We sell our OLED-on-silicon microdisplays for use as components by
customers who prefer to design and build their own lenses or coupled with our
own optics. We also plan to offer OLED processing on our customers' integrated
circuits to some OEMs who design their own integrated circuits. We provide
PC
Interface Kits and Developer Kits, which include a microdisplay and associated
electronics to help OEMs evaluate our microdisplay products and to assist their
efforts to build and test new products incorporating our microdisplays. In
2005,
we produced our first personal display system to be sold directly to consumers,
the Z800 3DVisor for PCs, which incorporates eMagin OLED display stereovision
with head tracking capability. We expect to expand our OLED microdisplay and
personal display systems product portfolios during 2006.
Our
Product Lines
We
offer
our products to OEMs and other large volume buyers as both separate components
and integrated bundles in a three-tiered platform. We believe that our strategy
of offering our products both as separate components and as integrated bundles
that include microdisplays and lenses will allow us to address the needs of
the
largest number of potential customers.
(1)
OLED-on-silicon microdisplays for integration into near-eye virtual imaging
OEM
products for consumer, industrial, and military markets;
(2)
Microviewer(TM) near-eye virtual imaging modules that incorporate our
OLED-on-silicon microdisplays with compact lenses and electronic interfaces

Diagonal SVGA+ (Super Video Graphics Array plus 52 added columns of data) for
Consumer OEMs.
This
display has a resolution of 852 x 3 x 600 pixels, and was dubbed "SVGA+" because
it has 52 more display columns than a standard SVGA display. The design permits
users to run either (1) standard SVGA (800 x 600 pixels) to interface to the
analog output of many portable computers or (2) 852 x 480, using all the data
available from a DVD player in a 16:9 wide screen entertainment format. The
SVGA+ can be made as a full-color or monochrome microdisplay primarily for
high-performance and large-view consumer OEM products such as games, video/data
head-wearable displays, digital cameras, video cameras and other portable
electronics applications. The display also has an internal NTSC monochrome
video
decoder for low power night vision systems. This product is designed to
interface with most portable personal computers.
0.59-inch
Diagonal SVGA-3D (Super Video Graphics Array plus built-in stereovision
capability) for Consumer OEMs.
This
display has a resolution of 800 x 3 x 600 pixels. The SVGA-3D can be made as
a
full-color or monochrome microdisplay primarily for high-performance and
large-view consumer OEM products such as personal computer games and video/data
head-wearable displays, but is also designed to be applicable for digital
cameras, video cameras and other portable electronics applications since the
3D
feature is optional. A built-in circuit provides compatibility with single
channel frame sequential stereoscopic vision without additional external
components. In high volumes, the SVGA-3D is priced lower than the SVGA+, so
it
is likely to be selected whenever the OEM customer does not need monochrome
NTSC
or the extra columns of resolution.
Under
Development - 0.44-inch Diagonal SVGA-3DS (Super Video Graphics Array plus
built-in stereovision capability Shrink Version) for Consumer
OEMs.
This
display also has a resolution of 800 x 3 x 600 pixels. The SVGA-3DS can also
be
made as a full-color or monochrome microdisplay primarily for high-performance
and large-view consumer OEM products such as personal computer games and
video/data head-wearable displays, but is also designed to be applicable for
digital cameras, video cameras and other portable electronics applications
since
the 3D feature is optional. This product has most of the features of both the
standard SVGA+ and the SVGA-3D along with some important new features, but
is
smaller so more displays can be placed on each wafer, potentially lowering
unit
pricing. In high volumes, the SVGA-3DS is expected to be priced lower than
the
full size SVGA-3D, so it is likely to be selected whenever the OEM customer
does
not need as large of an image source or needs lower cost.
Under
Development - 0.62-inch Diagonal SXGA (Super eXtended Video Graphics Array)
for
consumer, industrial, medical and military
applications.
We are
developing a full color SXGA microdisplay product as a personal
computer-compatible headset display for a large spectrum of applications. We
anticipate that prototypes of this display will become available for sampling
in
early 2007. This product will have 1280 x1024 triad color pixels and an active
diagonal similar to that of our original SVGA microdisplays. It will include
luminance and dimming ranges compatible with the demands of military
applications as well as those of high-end consumer and industrial markets.
We
anticipate that its performance features and 1280x3x1024 resolution combined
with a small package will generate a considerable interest and serve as a
catalyst for the development of new applications.
By
providing an integrated solution of a complete microdisplay and lens assembly
to
integrate into OEM customers' end product design, OEM customers can avoid
incurring expensive optics design and tooling costs. Different lens and
microdisplay specifications can be mixed and matched to be adapted to many
end
products.
We
have
developed advanced lens technology for several applications and believe we
hold
key patents on certain low cost, high performance lens technology for
microdisplay applications. Our lens technology permits our OLED-on-silicon
microdisplays to provide large field of view images that can be viewed for
extended periods with reduced eye-fatigue. Molded plastic prism lenses have
been
developed to help our commercial and consumer OEM customers obtain better
quality, large area virtual images using our displays at relatively low cost
in
comparison to alternate approaches. Large numbers of these lenses have already
been produced.
7
We
sell
Microviewer(TM) modules to OEMs for integration with their branded products.
Some of our potential customers have stated a preference for Microviewers(TM)
over microdisplays since Microviewers(TM) incorporate lenses which save OEMs
a
step in their manufacturing process and can save them the time required to
develop, or integrate a third party high performance lens system. Custom
microviewer products incorporated into specially designed modules are currently
being sold to OEMs, including Sage Technologies, Night Vision Equipment
Corporation, and Total Fire Group.
(3)
Personal Display Systems (Head-Wearable and Headset Systems)
Personal
display systems, such as our Z800 3DVisors (TM), and upcoming X800 3DVisor
and
Eyebud(TM), give users the ability to work with their hands while simultaneously
viewing information or video on the display. Each of these head-wearable
displays enable more versatile portable computing, using a 0.59-inch diagonal
microdisplay (SVGA-3D capable of delivering an image that appears comparable
to
that of a 19-inch monitor at 22 to 24 inches from the eye, or a 105 inch movie
screen at 12 foot distance. We believe that personal display systems will fill
the increasing demand for instant data accessibility and privacy in mobile
workplaces. We expect to sell the personal display systems not only to OEM
systems and equipment customers through direct sales but to end users through
distributors, and our e-commerce website, www.3dvisor.com.
Our
Market Opportunity
The
growth potential of our selected target market segments have been investigated
using information gathered from key industry market research firms, including
DisplaySearch, Frost and Sullivan, Fuji-Chimera, International Data Corporation,
Nikkei, SEMI, Stanford Resources-iSuppli and others. Such data was obtained
using published reports and data obtained at industry symposia. We have also
relied substantially on market projections obtained privately from industry
leaders, industry analysts, and potential customers.
We
believe that the consumer oriented, virtual-imaging market is characterized
by
about 20 large OEMs that, collectively, dominate 90% of the market. The
non-consumer market consists of niches - industrial, medical, military, arcade
games, 3-D CAD/Virtual Reality, and wearable computers. Within each of these
market sectors, we believe that our microdisplays, when combined with compact
optic lenses, will become a key component for a number of mobile electronic
products. We are targeting the following applications:
(1)
Near-Eye Viewers for Digital Cameras, Camcorders and Hand-held Internet and
Telecommunications Appliances
We
believe that our microdisplays will enhance near-eye applications in the
following groups of products:
· |
Digital
cameras and camcorders, which typically use direct view displays
at low
resolution, offer a small visual image, and are difficult to see
on sunny
days. According
to leading consumer and retail information provider The NPD Group,
forecasts show the U.S. digital camera market will generate more
than
million units in 2006. The digital camera market is expected to increase
by eight percent in revenue and 17 percent in units over 2005. Some
of these products may incorporate microdisplays as high-resolution
viewfinders which would permit individuals to see enlarged,
high-resolution proofs immediately upon taking the picture, giving
them
the opportunity to retake a poor shot.
|
· |
Mobile
phones and other hand-held Internet and telecommunications appliances
which will enable users to access full web and fax pages, data lists
and
maps in a pocket-sized device. According to IDC's Worldwide Quarterly
Mobile Phone Tracker, in the fourth quarter of 2005 alone, worldwide
mobile phone shipments rose 19.3 percent year over year and increased
sequentially 16.8 percent to reach a single quarter record of 245.2
million units. In addition, worldwide converged mobile device shipments
rose 100.3 percent year over year and increased sequentially 20 percent
during the quarter to reach 16.8 million units. According to Gartner,
Inc.
worldwide mobile phone sales totaled 816.6 million units in 2005.
According to DisplaySearch, by
2010, 3.8 billion people, half the people on the planet, are expected
to
own a mobile phone, Worldwide
personal digital assistant shipments totaled a record 14.9 million
units
in 2005, a 19 percent increase from 2004, according to Gartner,
Inc.
Some
of these products may eventually incorporate our microdisplays. In
order
for the high-resolution wireless telecommunications market to develop,
Generation 3 (G3) high-speed data transmission must become widely
available. The current cost and limited availability of broadband
services
has impeded the development of this market, but several telecommunication
companies have prototype programs in progress which incorporate our
microdisplay products.
|
For
each
of these applications, we anticipate that our microdisplays, combined with
compact optic lenses, will offer higher resolution, lower power requirements
and
system cost and achieve larger images than are currently available in the
consumer market. As a result, we believe that we can obtain a sizeable share
of
the market for the display components of these mobile electronic products.

Personal Display Systems Platforms, including Head-wearable
Displays
Head-wearable
displays incorporate microdisplays mounted in or on eyeglasses, goggles, simple
headbands, helmets, or hardhats, and are often referred to as head-mounted
displays (HMDs) or headsets. Head-wearable displays may block out surroundings
for a fully immersive experience, or be designed as "see-through" or
"see-around" to the user's surroundings. They may contain one (monocular) or
two
(binocular) displays. Some of the increased current interest is due to
accelerating the timetable to adapt such systems to military applications such
as night vision and fire and rescue applications. These have military,
commercial, and consumer applications.
Military
Military
demand for head-wearable displays is currently being met with microdisplay
technologies that we believe to be inferior to our OLED-on-silicon products.
The
new generation of soldiers will be highly mobile, and will often need to carry
highly computerized communications and surveillance equipment. To enable
interaction with the digital battlespace, rugged, yet lightweight and energy
efficient technology is required. Currently available microdisplay technologies
do not meet the requirements for low power, hands-free, day and night-viewable
displays. Our OLED microdisplays demonstrate performance characteristics
important to military and other demanding commercial and industrial applications
including high brightness and resolution, wide dimming range, wider temperature
operating ranges, shock and vibration resistance and insensitivity to high
G-forces. The image does not suffer from flicker or color breakup in vibrating
environments, and the microdisplay's wide viewing angle allows ease of viewing
for long periods of time. The OLED's very low power consumption reduces battery
weight and increases allowed mission length. Properly implemented, we believe
that head-mounted systems incorporating our microdisplays will increase
effectiveness by allowing hands-free operation and increasing situational
awareness with enough brightness to be used in daylight, yet controllable for
nighttime light security. The OLED's wide temperature range is especially of
interest for military applications because the display can turn on instantly
at
temperatures far below freezing and can operate at very high temperatures in
desert conditions.
Our
OLED
microdisplays have been selected for a range of defense-security applications,
including a situational awareness HMD for the US Army Land Warrior programs,
a
handheld thermal imager for border patrol and training, and simulation virtual
monitors for Quantum 3D. The Land Warrior, a core program in the Army's drive
to
digitize the battlefield, is an integrated digital system that incorporates
computerized communication, navigation, targeting and protection systems for
use
by the twenty-first century infantry soldier. Rockwell Collins, the principal
contractor for the US Army's Land Warrior HMD system, and eMagin applied their
respective expertise in HMD and imaging technology to develop rugged, yet
lightweight and energy efficient products meeting the requirements of tomorrow's
soldier. The US Army expects to initially equip more than 40,000 soldiers with
the Land Warrior system. The current overall redesign of the Land Warrior system
by General Dynamics and Rockwell Collins has delayed increased volume use of
displays beyond small quantities for that program until a future date to be
determined. Our display is also used in Rockwell Collins’ commercially available
ProView S035 Monocular HMD. Night Vision Equipment Corporation's
HelmetIR-50(TM), a lightweight, military helmet mounted thermal imager, which
provides hands-free operation and allows viewers to see through total darkness,
battlefield obscurants, and even foliage, is the first OLED-equipped product
to
be listed on the US Government's GSA schedule. Virtually Better Inc. has
incorporated our Z800 3DVisor into its “Virtual Iraq” treatment for
post-traumatic stress disorders. In addition, our displays have been
commercialized, or planned to be commercialized, by military systems integrators
including Insight Technologies, Elbit, Thales, and Nivisys, among others. We
cannot assure that Government projects will remain on schedule, or be fully
implemented. Similar systems are of interest for other military applications
as
well as for related operations such as fire and rescue.
Commercial,
Industrial, and Medical
We
believe that a wide variety of commercial and industrial markets offer
significant opportunities due to increasing demand for instant data
accessibility in mobile workplaces. Some examples of microdisplay applications
include: immediate access to inventory such as parts, tools and equipment
availability; instant accessibility to maintenance or construction manuals;
routine quality assurance inspection; endoscopic surgery; and real-time viewing
of images and data for a variety of applications. As one potential example,
a
user wearing a HMD while using test equipment, such as oscilloscopes, can view
technical data while simultaneously probing printed circuit boards. Commercial
products in these sectors include Sage Technologies, Ltd.'s Helmet Vue (TM)
Thermal Imaging System and Liteye's 500, which incorporates IBM's wearable
PC
technology. VRmagic GmbH, a leading developer of virtual reality simulators,
is
using our OLED microdisplays in their EYESI(TM) Virtual Reality Surgical
Simulator, which provides real-time simulation of ophthalmic surgery, high
performance biomechanical tissue simulation, precision tracking, and realistic
stereo imaging. Sensics has incorporated our OLED displays in their immersive
SkyVizor (TM) virtual reality headset to serve as the "eyes" of the Robonaut,
a
humanoid robot being developed by NASA and Department of Defense agencies.
The
Robonaut system can work side by side with humans, or alone in high-risk
situations. Telepresence uses virtual reality display technology to visually
immerse the operator into the robot's workspace, facilitating operation and
interaction with the Robonaut, and potentially reducing the number of dangerous
space walks required of real astronauts.
9
Consumer
We
believe that our head-wearable display products will enhance the following
consumer products:
· |
Entertainment
and gaming video headset systems, which permit individuals to view
television, including HDTV, video CDs, DVDs and video games on virtual
large screens or stereovision in private without disturbing others.
Even
though entertainment and gaming headsets represent an emerging product
class, we are seeing demand from OEMs. Headset game systems for portable
computers with head tracking and/or stereovision appears to be our
predominant high quantity near term market opportunity, with several
customers indicating an interest in large production quantities of
our
displays. Our current SVGA-3D display was designed specifically for
this
market. We believe that these new headset game systems can provide
a game
or telepresence experience not otherwise practical using conventional
direct view display technology. We expect low cost to be important
for
success in this field, and expect our product cost to decrease with
high
quantity production. At the 2005 Consumer Electronics Show, we announced
a
prototype of our Z800 3D Visor (TM), the world's first personal viewer
to
combine OLEDs, stereovision, and head tracking. In 2006 this product
garnered numerous awards including Best of Innovations for displays
at the
Consumer Electronics Show (CES).
|
The
advent of video iPods and the rapidly increasing amount of downloadable content
have accelerated the movement toward portable video technology. At the same
time, the desire for larger screen sizes while retaining the iPod portability
has been referenced in many publications. Virtual imaging uniquely provides
a
large, high resolution view in a small portable package, and we believe that
our
OLED on silicon technology is a best fit to help open this market.
· |
Notebook
computers, which can use head-wearable devices to reduce power
requirements as well as expand the apparent screen size and increase
privacy. Current notebook computers do not use microdisplays. Our
products
can apply not only to new models of notebook computers, but also
as
aftermarket attachments to older notebooks still in use. The display
can
be easily used as a second monitor on notebook computers for ease
of
editing multiple documents to provide multiple screens or for data
privacy
while traveling. It can also be used to provide larger screen capability
for viewing spreadsheets or complex computer aided design (CAD) files.
We
expect to market our head-wearable displays to be used as plug-in
peripherals to be compatible with most notebook computers. We believe
that
the SVGA-3D microdisplay is well suited for most portable PC headsets.
Our
microdisplays can be operated using the USB power source of most
portable
computers. This eliminates added power supplies, batteries, and rechargers
and reduces system complexity and cost.
|
· |
Handheld
personal computers, whose small, direct view screens are often
limitations, but which are now capable of running software applications
that would benefit from a larger display. Microdisplays can be built
into
handheld computers to display more information content on virtual
screens
without forfeiting portability or adding the cost a larger direct
view
screen. Microdisplays are not currently used in this market. We believe
that GPS viewers and other novel products are likely to develop as
our
displays become more available.
|
· |
Highly
compact wearable computers and personal digital assistants, or PDAs
using
video headsets as screens can be made possible by high-resolution
microdisplays. A lightweight pocketsize computer that is less than
one
pound can potentially be created with a foldout keyboard, compact
input
device, or voice actuation and a headset that provides a near-desktop
personal computer experience.
|
The
combination of power efficiency, high resolution, low systems cost, brightness
and compact size offered by our OLED-on-silicon microdisplays has not been
made
available to makers and integrators of existing entertainment and gaming video
headset systems,
10
notebook
computers and handheld computers. We believe that our microdisplays will propel
the growth of new products and applications such as lightweight wearable
computer systems.

Our
Strategy
Our
strategy is to establish and maintain a leadership position as a worldwide
supplier of microdisplays and virtual imaging technology solutions for
applications in high growth segments of the electronics industry by capitalizing
on our leadership in both OLED-on-silicon technology and microdisplay lens
technology. We aim to provide microdisplay and complimentary accessories to
enable OEM customers to develop and manufacture new and enhanced electronic
products. Some key elements of our strategy to achieve these objectives include
the following:
· |
Leverage
our superior technology to establish a leading market position. As
the
first to exploit OLED-on-silicon microdisplays, we believe that we
enjoy a
significant advantage in bringing this technology to market.
|
· |
Develop
products for large consumer markets via key relationships with OEMs.
Our
relationships with OEMs whose products use microdisplays have allowed
us
to identify initial microdisplay products to be produced for
entertainment, industrial, and military headsets, to be followed
by other
applications such as digital cameras, camcorders and hand-held Internet
and telecommunications appliances. We target markets which we believe
to
have long-term growth potential.
|
11
· |
Optimize
manufacturing efficiencies by outsourcing while protecting proprietary
processes. We intend to outsource certain portions of microdisplay
production, such as chip fabrication, to minimize both our costs
and time
to market. We intend to retain the OLED application and OLED sealing
processes in-house. We believe that these areas are where we have
a core
competency and manufacturing expertise. We also believe that by keeping
these processes under tight control we can better protect our proprietary
technology and process know-how. This strategy will also enhance
our
ability to continue to optimize and customize processes and devices
to
meet customer needs. By performing the processes in-house we can
continue
to directly make improvements in the processes, which will improve
device
performance. We also retain the ability to customize certain aspects
such
as color balance, which is known as chromaticity, as well as specialized
boards or interfaces, and to adjust other parameters at the customer's
request. In the area of lenses and head-wearable displays, we intend
to
focus on design and development, while working with third parties
for the
manufacture and distribution of finished products. We intend to prototype
new optical systems, provide customization of optical systems, and
manufacture limited volumes, but we intend to outsource high volume
manufacturing operations. There are numerous companies that provide
these
outsource services.
|
· |
Build
and maintain strong internal design capabilities. As more circuitry
is
added to OLED-on-silicon devices, the cost of the end product using
the
display can be decreased; therefore integrated circuit design capability
will become increasingly important to us. To meet these requirements,
we
intend to develop in-house design capabilities. Building and maintaining
this capacity will allow us to reduce engineering costs, accelerate
the
design process and enhance design accuracy to respond to our customers'
needs as new markets develop. In addition, we intend to maintain
a product
design staff capable of rapidly developing prototype products for
our
customers and strategic partners. Contracting third party design
support
to meet demand and for specialized design skills will also remain
a part
of our overall long term strategy.
|
Our
Strategic Relationships
Strategic
relationships have been an important part of our research and development
efforts to date and are an integral part of our plans for commercial product
launch. We have forged strategic relationships with major OEMs and strategic
suppliers. We believe that strategic relationships allow us to better determine
the demands of the marketplace and, as a result, allow us to focus our future
research and development activities to better meet our customer's requirements.
Moreover, we expect to provide microdisplays and Microviewers(TM) to some of
these partners, thereby taking advantage of established distribution channels
for our products.
Eastman
Kodak is a technology partner in OLED development, OLED materials, and a
potential future customer for both specialty market display systems and consumer
market microdisplays. We license Eastman Kodak's OLED and optics technology
portfolio. We have a nonexclusive; perpetual, worldwide license to use Eastman
Kodak patented OLED technology and associated intellectual property in the
development, use, manufacture, import and sale of microdisplays. The license
covers emissive active matrix microdisplays with a diagonal size of less than
2
inches for all OLED display technology previously developed by Kodak. An annual
minimum royalty is paid at the beginning of each calendar year and is fully
creditable against the royalties we are obligated to pay based on net sales
throughout the year. Eastman Kodak and eMagin have engaged in numerous
discussions regarding potential product applications for eMagin's microdisplays
by Eastman Kodak.
We
are
working cooperatively with the US Army and with several military system
integrators to further characterize operation of our displays in rugged military
environments. We are a member of the United States Display Consortium, a
cooperative agency of display and related technology manufacturers whose charter
is to support continued progress of the display industry. We are currently
partnering with the University of Michigan to develop advanced display process
via a government-sponsored research program. We intend to continue to establish
additional strategic relationships in the future.
Our
Technology Platforms
OLED-on-Silicon
Technology
Scientists
working at Eastman Kodak invented OLEDs in the early 1980s. OLEDs are thin
films
of stable organic materials that emit light of various colors when a voltage
is
impressed across them. OLEDs are emissive devices, which mean they create their
own light, as opposed to liquid crystal displays, which require a separate
light
source. As a result, OLED devices use less power and can be capable of higher
brightness and fuller color than liquid crystal microdisplays. Because the
light
they emit is Lambertian, which means that it appears equally bright from most
forward directions, a moderate movement in the eye does not change the image
brightness or color as it does in existing technologies. OLED films may be
coated on computer chips, permitting millions of individual low-voltage light
sources to be built on silicon integrated circuits to produce single color,
white or full-color display arrays. Many computer and video electronic system
functions can be built directly into a silicon integrated circuit as part of
the
OLED display, resulting in an ultra-compact system. We believe these features,
together with the well-established silicon integrated circuit fabrication
technology of the semiconductor industry, make our OLED-on-silicon microdisplays
attractive for numerous applications.
We
believe our technology licensing agreement with Eastman Kodak, coupled with
our
own intellectual property portfolio, gives us a leadership position in OLED
and
OLED-on-silicon microdisplay technology. Eastman Kodak provides OLED technology
and we provide additional technology advancements that have enabled us to coat
the silicon integrated circuits with OLEDs.
We
have
developed numerous and significant enhancements to OLED technology as well
as
key silicon circuit designs to effectively incorporate the OLED film on a
silicon integrated circuit. For example, we have developed a unique,
top-emitting structure for our OLED-on-silicon devices that enables OLED
displays to be built on opaque silicon integrated circuits rather than only
on
glass. Our OLED devices can emit full visible spectrum light that can be
isolated with color filters to create full color images. Our microdisplay
prototypes have a brightness that can be greater than that of a typical notebook
computer and can have a potential useful life of over 50,000 operating hours,
in
certain applications. New materials and device improvements in development
offer
future potential for even better performance for brightness, efficiency, and
lifespan. Additionally, we have invested considerable work over several years
to
develop unique electronics control and drive designs for OLED-on-silicon
microdisplays.
12
In
addition to our OLED-on-silicon technology, we have developed compact optic
and
lens enhancements which, when coupled with the microdisplay, provide the high
quality large screen appearance that we believe a large proportion of the
marketplace demands.
Advantages
of OLED Technology
We
believe that our OLED-on-silicon technology provides significant advantages
over
existing solutions in our targeted microdisplay markets. We believe these key
advantages will include:
· |
Low
manufacturing cost;
|
· |
Low
cost system solutions;
|
· |
Wide
angle light emission resulting in large apparent screen size;
|
· |
Low
power consumption for improved battery life and longer system life;
|
· |
High
brightness for improved viewing;
|
· |
High-speed
performance resulting in clear video images;
|
· |
Wide
operating temperature range; and
|
· |
Good
environmental stability (vibration and humidity).
|
Low
manufacturing cost. Many
OLED-on-silicon microdisplays can be built on an 8-inch silicon wafer using
existing automated OLED and color filter processing tools. The level of
automation used lowers labor costs. Only a minute amount of OLED material is
used in each OLED-on-silicon microdisplay so that material costs, other than
the
integrated circuit itself, are small. The number of displays per silicon wafer
may be higher on OLEDs than on liquid crystal displays, or LCDs, because OLEDs
do not require a space-wasting perimeter seal band. Expensive transparent wafers
with CMOS silicon laminated onto quartz are not required for OLED microdisplays,
as standard CMOS ICs may be used as backplanes.
Low
cost systems solutions. In
general, an OEM using OLED-on-silicon microdisplays will not need to purchase
and incorporate lighting assemblies, color converter related Applications
Specific Integrated Circuits, or ASICs, or beam splitter lenses as is the case
in liquid crystal microdisplays, which also require illumination. Many important
display-related system functions can be incorporated into an OLED-on-silicon
microdisplay, reducing the size and cost of the system. Non-polarized light
from
OLEDs permit lenses for many OLED-on-silicon applications that are made of
a
single piece of molded plastic, which reduces size, weight and assembly cost
when compared to the multipiece lens systems used for liquid crystal
microdisplays. System cost relative to liquid crystal and liquid crystal on
silicon, or LCOS, competitive products is thus reduced. Because our displays
are
power efficient, they typically require less power at the system level than
other display technologies at a given display size and brightness.
Wide-angle
light emission simplifies optics for large apparent screen size.
OLEDs
emit light at most forward directions from each pixel. This permits the display
to be placed close to the lens in compact optical systems. It also provides
the
added benefit of less angular dependence on the image quality relative to pupil
and eye position when showing a large field of view, unlike reflective LCOS
microdisplays. This results in less eye fatigue and makes it relatively easy
to
low power consumption for improved battery life and longer system life. OLEDs
emit light rather than transmitting it, so no power-consuming backlight or
front
light, as required for liquid crystal displays, is required. OLEDs can be energy
efficient because of their high efficiency light generation. Furthermore, OLEDs
conserve power by powering only those pixels that are on while liquid crystal
on
silicon requires light at all pixels all the time. Most optical systems used
for
our OLEDs are highly efficient, permitting over 80% of the light to reach the
eye, whereas reflective technologies such as liquid crystal on silicon require
multiple beam splitters to get light to the display, and then into the optical
system. This results in typically less than 25% light throughput efficiency
in
reflective microdisplay systems. Most important, we do not need a power-hungry
video frame buffer, as required in liquid crystal frame-sequential color
systems. Battery life can therefore be extended.
High
brightness for improved viewing. This
feature can be of great value to military applications, where there is a need
to
see the computer image overlaid onto brightly lit real-life backgrounds such
as
desert sand, water reflections or sunlit clouds. The OLED can be operated over
a
large luminance range without loss of gray level control, permitting the
displays to be used in a range of dark environments to very bright ambient
applications. Since military simulation and situation awareness applications,
including night vision, typically require large fields of view, the OLED's
Lambertian optical characteristics make it an excellent choice.
13
High-speed
performance resulting in clear video image. OLEDs
switch much more rapidly than liquid crystals or most cathode ray tubes, or
CRTs. This results in smear-free video rate imagery and provides improved image
quality for DVD playback applications. This eliminates visible image smear
and
makes practicable three-dimensional stereo imaging using a split frame rate.
This advantage of our OLED-on-silicon is very important for 3-D stereovision
gaming applications.
Flicker-free
and no color breakup. Because
the OLED-on-silicon stores brightness and color information at each pixel,
the
display can be run with no noticeable flicker and no color sequential breakup,
even at low refresh rates. A lower refresh rate not only helps reduce power,
but
it also facilitates system integration. Color sequential breakup occurs in
systems such as liquid crystal on silicon and some liquid crystal display
microdisplays when red, green and blue frames are sequentially imaged in time
for the eye to combine. Since the different color screens occur at different
times, movement of the eye due to vibration or just fast pupil movement can
create color bands at each dark-light edge, making the image unpleasant to
view
and making text difficult to read. For example, the liquid crystal on silicon
display needs to run at least three times the "normal" frame rate or speed
to
produce color sequential images, which wastes power and makes for a difficult
technological challenge as display resolutions increase.
Wide
operating temperature range.
Our
OLEDs offer much less temperature sensitivity at both high and low temperatures
than LCDs. LCDs are sluggish or non-operative much below freezing unless heaters
are added and lose contrast above 50 degrees Celsius, while our OLEDs turn
on
instantly and can operate between -55 degrees Celsius and 130 degrees Celsius.
We specify a smaller temperature range on most consumer products to accommodate
lower cost packaging. This is an important characteristic for many portable
products that may be used outdoors in many varying environmental conditions.
It
is especially important for military customers. Insensitivity to vibration,
shock, and pressure are also important environmental control attributes.
Complementary
lens and system technologies.
We have
developed a wide range of technologies which complement our core OLED and lens
technologies and which will enhance our competitive position in the microdisplay
and head-wearable display markets. These include:
Lens
technology.
High
quality, large view lenses with a wide range for eye positioning are essential
for using our displays in near-eye systems. We have developed advanced lens
technology for microdisplays and personal head-wearable display systems and
hold
key patents in these areas. Our lens technology permits our OLED-on-silicon
microdisplays to provide large field of view images that can be viewed for
extended periods with reduced eye-fatigue. We have engaged a firm to manufacture
our lenses in order to provide them in larger quantities to our customers and
are using them in our own personal display systems.
We
believe that the key advantages of our lens technology include:
· |
Can
be very low cost, with minimal assembly. A one piece, molded plastic
optic
attached to the microdisplay has been introduced and may potentially
serve
consumer end-product markets. Since our process is plastic molding,
our
per unit production costs are low;
|
· |
Allows
a compact and lightweight lens system that can greatly magnify a
microdisplay to produce a large field of view. For example, our WF05
prism
lens, in combination with our SVGA OLED microdisplay, provides a
virtual
view equivalent to that of a 105-inch diagonal display viewed at
12 feet;
|
· |
Can
use single-piece molded microdisplay lenses to permit high light
throughput making the display image brighter or permitting the use
of less
power for an acceptable brightness;
|
· |
Can
be designed to provide focusing to enable users with various eyesight
qualities to view images clearly; and
|
· |
Can
optionally provide focal plane adjustment for simultaneous focusing
of
computer images and real world objects. For example, this characteristic
is beneficial for word processing or spreadsheet applications where
a
person is typing data in from reference material. This feature can
make it
easier for people with moderately poor accommodation to use a
head-wearable display as a portable computer-viewing accessory.
|
Personal
display system technology.
We have
developed ergonomic technologies that make head-wearable displays easier to
use
in a wide variety of applications. For example, the use of our patented
rotatable Eyeblocker(TM) provides a sharp image without requiring most users
to
squint. The Eyeblocker can also be moved to create an effective see-through
appearance. To our knowledge, we have made the lightest weight, high-resolution
head-wearable display with an over 35 degree diagonal field of view ever
publicly demonstrated. We have also incorporated low cost, small size, high
speed headtrackers to further enhance game and telepresence applications.
Sales
and Marketing
We
primarily provide display components and Microviewer(TM) display-optic modules
for OEMs to incorporate into their branded products and sell through their
own
well-established distribution channels. In addition, we market head-wearable
displays directly to various vertical market channels, such as medical,
industrial, and government customers. A typical buyer is a manufacturer of
a
product requiring a specific resolution of visual display or viewfinder for
insertion into a product such as a portable DVD headset, a PC-gaming headset,
or
an instrument.
14
We
market
our services in North America, Asia, and Europe primarily through direct
technical sales from our headquarters. Regular purchase orders are processed
by
our customer service coordinators and technical questions related to product
purchases or product applications are processed by our technical support team.
Additional direct sales are generated through our website www.3dvisor.com.

personal display systems are also sold through select resellers and online
via
amazon.com, pcmall.com, and skymall.com. We expect to add additional resellers
in 2006.
As
a
market-driven company, we assess customer needs both quantitatively and
qualitatively, through market research and direct communications. Because our
microdisplays are the main functional component that defines many of our
customers' end products, we work closely with potential customers to define
our
products to optimize the final design, typically on a senior
engineer-to-engineer basis.
We
identify companies with end products and applications for which we believe
that
our products will provide a system level solution and for which our products
can
be a key differentiator. We target both market leaders and select early adopter
companies; their acceptance validates our technology and approach in the market.
We believe successful marketing will require relationships with recognized
consumer brand companies.
We
are
now shipping monochrome and full color versions of our first two commercial
microdisplay products. Our SVGA+ resolution OLED microdisplay, which contains
1.53 million picture elements, was specifically designed to meet the needs
of
several military, industrial, and medical customers based on marketing
information obtained prior to the design phase of the display and was first
offered for sampling in April 2001. Our stereovision-capable SVGA-3D
microdisplay, which contains 1.44 million picture elements, was designed with
the input of multiple customers to principally target the mobile personal
computer and PC games markets, and was first shipped in February 2002. We began
to ship first quantities of our Z800 3D Visor personal viewer in the second
half
of 2005. We expect to add the X800 3DVisor, and Eyebud personal viewer, and
SVGA
3Dshrink to our product portfolio during 2006. Near
term
sales efforts for OLED microdisplays have been focused on our military,
industrial, and medical customers. We have received production orders and design
wins for both the SVGA+ and SVGA 3D displays. To date, we have shipped products
and evaluation kits to more than 170 OEM customers. An OEM design cycle
typically requires between 6 and 36 months, depending on the uniqueness of
the
market and the complexity of the end product. New product development may
require several design iterations prior to commercialization. Some of our
initial customers have completed their initial evaluation cycle and we are
now
receiving follow-on orders and notification of product purchase decisions.
Several customers have indicated their intent to incorporate potentially high
volumes of our microdisplays into consumer products, pending successful
completion of their own product development efforts. We have also received
notification that our microdisplays will be used as components in versions
1.0
and 2.0 of the US Army Land Warrior program. (See "Our Market Opportunity:
Military; Commercial, Industrial, and Medical; and Consumer")
Customers
Customers
for our products include both large multinational and smaller OEMs. We maintain
relationships with OEMs in a diverse range of industries encompassing the
military, industrial, medical, and consumer market sectors. During 2005, 49%
of
our net revenue was to firms based in the United States and 51% was to
international firms, compared to 78% domestic revenue and 22% international
revenue during 2004. In 2005, we had no customers that accounted for more than
10% of our total revenue. In 2004, we had two customers that individually
accounted for more than 10% of our total net revenue; one customer accounted
for
17% of total net revenue and the other accounted for 15%.
Backlog
The
majority of our backlog consists of purchase agreements for delivery over the
next 36 months. Most purchase orders are subject to rescheduling or cancellation
by the customer with no or limited penalties. Because of the possibility of
customer changes in delivery schedules or cancellations and potential delays
in
product shipments, our backlog as of a particular date may not be indicative
of
net sales for any succeeding period. Some customers have experienced delays
in
their expected product launch schedules due to their own product development
delays not directly related to our microdisplays, such as optics.
As
of
March 17, 2006, we had a backlog of purchase agreements of approximately $28.3
million for purchases through 2008 from 3 OEMs who are all in the process of
completing their own design work. This backlog consists of purchase agreements
and does not include expected military revenue or short term OEM customer
orders.
Research
and Development
Near-to-the-eye
virtual imaging and OLED technology are relatively new technologies that have
considerable room for substantial improvements in luminance, life, power
efficiency, voltage swing, design compactness, field of view, optical range
of
visibility, headtracking options, wireless control and many other parameters.
We
also anticipate that achieving reductions in manufacturing costs will require
new technology developments. We anticipate that improving the performance,
capability and cost of our products will provide an important competitive
advantage in our fast moving, high technology marketplace. Past and current
research activities include development of improved OLED and display device
structures, developing and/or evaluating new materials (including the synthesis
of new organic molecules), manufacturing equipment and process development,
electronics design methodologies and new circuits and the development of new
lenses and related systems. During the past nine years, we have spent, net
of
U.S. government funding, approximately $35 million on research and development.
In 2005, we spent approximately $4.0 million on research and development. In
2005 we continued to research more efficient materials and processes. We also
completed the primary development of our new smaller display the SVGA 3D shrink
and our new visor products the X800 3DVisor and the Eyebud 800.
15
External
relationships play an important role in our research and development efforts.
Suppliers, equipment vendors, government organizations, contract research
groups, external design companies, customer and corporate partners, consortia,
and university relationships all enhance the overall research and development
effort and bring us new ideas (See "Strategic Relationships").
Manufacturing
Facilities
We
are
located at IBM's Microelectronics Division facility, known as the Hudson Valley
Research Park, located about 70 miles north of New York City in Hopewell
Junction, New York. We lease approximately 40,000 square feet of space housing
our own equipment for OLED microdisplay fabrication and for research and
development plus additional space for assembly and administrative offices.
We
also entered into lease agreement with IBM for a 16,300 square foot class 10
clean room space, along with additional, lower level clean room space.
Facilities
services provided by IBM include our clean room, pure gases, high purity
de-ionized water, compressed air, chilled water systems, and waste disposal
support. This infrastructure provided by our lease with IBM provides us with
many of the resources of a larger corporation without the added overhead costs.
It further allows us to focus our resources more efficiently on our product
development and manufacturing goals.
We
lease
additional non-clean room facilities for chemical mixing, cleaning, chemical
systems, and glass/silicon cutting. OLED chemicals can be purified in our
facility with our own equipment, permitting the company to evaluate new
chemicals in pilot production that are not yet available in suitable purity
for
OLED applications on the market.
Our
display fabrication process starts with the silicon wafer, which is manufactured
by a semiconductor foundry using conventional CMOS process. After a device
is
designed by a combination of internal and external designers with customer
participation, we outsource wafer fabrication.
Our
manufacturing process for OLED-on-silicon microdisplays has three main
components: organic film deposition, organic film encapsulation (also known
as
sealing), and color filter processing. All steps are performed in
semi-automated, hands-free environment suitable for high volume throughput.
An
automated cluster tool provides all OLED deposition steps in a highly controlled
environment that is the centerpiece of our OLED fabrication. After wafer
processing, each part is inspected using an automated inspection system, prior
to shipment. We have electrical and optical instrumentation required to
characterize the performance of our displays including photometric and color
coordinate analysis. We are also equipped for integrated circuit and electronics
design and display testing.
We
also
lease a facility in Bellevue, Washington where we operate our system development
effort and business development activities. The lease for this facility expires
in August of 2009. The facilities are well suited for designing and building
limited volume prototypes and small quantity industrial or government products.
Cables and electronic interfaces have recently been produced to permit our
OEM
customers to more rapidly create products and shorten their time-to-market.
We
plan to outsource medium to high volume subsystem production to low cost
plastics, lenses, and assembly manufacturers. We are currently using domestic
and international outside manufacturers and we are investigating new outsource
opportunities.
We
believe that manufacturing efficiency is an important factor for success in
the
consumer markets. We believe that high yield and maximum utilization of our
equipment set will be key for profitability. The equipment required for initial
profitable production is in place. Some equipment will be added when our
production volume increases or as needed.
Intellectual
Property
We
have
developed a significant intellectual property portfolio of patents, trade
secrets and know-how, supported by our license from Eastman Kodak and our
current patent portfolio.
Our
license from Eastman Kodak gives us the right to use in miniature displays
a
portfolio in organic light emitting diode and optics technology, some of which
are fundamental. Our agreement with Eastman Kodak provides for perpetual access
to the OLED technology for our OLED-on-silicon applications, provided we remain
active in the field and meet our contractual requirements to Eastman Kodak.
We
also generate intellectual property as a result of our internal research and
development activities.
16
Our
patents and patent applications cover a wide range of materials, device
structures, processes, and fabrication techniques, such as methods of
fabricating full color OLEDs. We believe that our patent applications relating
to up-emitting structures on opaque substrates such as silicon wafers, which
are
critical for OLED microdisplays, and applications relating to the hermetic
sealing of such structures are particularly important.
Our
patents are concentrated in the following areas:
· |
OLED
Materials, Structures, and Processes;
|
· |
Display
Color Processing and Sealing;
|
· |
Active
Matrix Circuit Methodologies and Designs;
|
· |
Field
Emission and General Display Technologies;
|
· |
Lenses
and Tracking (Eye and Head);
|
· |
Ergonomics
and Industrial Design; and
|
· |
Wearable
Computer Interface Methodology
|
We
also
rely on proprietary technology, trade secrets, and know-how, which are not
patented. To protect our rights in these areas, we require all employees, and
where appropriate, contractors, consultants, advisors and collaborators to
enter
into confidentiality and non-competition agreements. There can be no assurance,
however, that these agreements will provide meaningful protection for our trade
secrets, know-how or other proprietary information in the event of any
unauthorized use, misappropriation or disclosure of such trade secrets, know-how
or other proprietary information.
We
believe that our intellectual property portfolio, coupled with our strategic
relationships and accumulated experience in the OLED field, gives us an
advantage over potential competitors.
Competition
We
may
face competition in the OLED and microdisplay industry from a variety of
companies and technologies. We believe that our key competition will come from
liquid crystal on silicon microdisplays, or LCOS, also known as reflective
liquid crystal displays. While we believe that OLED-on-silicon provides
comparatively lower optics cost, larger apparent image size, reduced electronics
cost and complexity, enhanced color, and improved power efficiency advantages
over liquid crystal on silicon microdisplays, there is no assurance that these
benefits will be realized or that liquid crystal on silicon manufacturers will
not suitably improve these parameters. Companies pursuing liquid crystal on
silicon technology include Microdisplay Corporation and Syntax/Brillian
Corporation, among others, although most of the companies are primarily focusing
on projection microdisplays, which do not compete directly with us. In certain
markets, we may also face competition from developers of transmissive liquid
crystal displays, such as those developed by Kopin, or laser scanning systems,
such as those developed by Microvision Corporation.
To
our
knowledge, the only other company that has publicly stated plans to develop
OLED
microdisplays for near-eye applications is MicroEmissive Displays in Britain.
We
may also compete with potential licensees of Universal Display Corporation
and
Cambridge Display Corporation, each of which license OLED technology portfolios.
Even though we could potentially license technology from these developers,
potential competitors could also obtain such licenses and may do so at more
favorable royalty rates. However, should they decide to embark on developing
microdisplays on silicon, we believe that our progress to date in this area
gives us a substantial head start.
Our
microdisplays and personal display systems may face competition on a price
and
performance basis from major manufacturers such as Sony and Samsung as the
market develops. However, we also intend to supply manufacturers such as those
with our OLED microdisplay.
Employees
As
of
March 17, 2006, we had a total of 98 full time and part time staff. None of
our
employees are represented by a labor union. We have not experienced any work
stoppages and consider our relations with our employees to be good.

ITEM
1A. RISK FACTORS
You
should carefully consider the following risk factors and the other information
included herein as well as the information included in other reports and filings
made with the SEC before investing in our common stock. If any of the following
risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of
operations could be harmed. The trading price of our common stock could decline
due to any of these risks, and you may lose part or all of your investment.
RISKS
RELATED TO OUR FINANCIAL RESULTS
We
have a history of losses since our inception and may incur losses for the
foreseeable future.
Accumulated
losses excluding non-cash transactions as of December 31, 2005, were $64 million
and acquisition related non-cash transactions were $102 million, which resulted
in an accumulated net loss of $166 million. We have not yet achieved
profitability and we can give no assurances that we will achieve profitability
within the foreseeable future as we fund operating and capital expenditures
in
areas such as establishment and expansion of markets, sales and marketing,
operating equipment and research and development. We cannot assure investors
that we will ever achieve or sustain profitability or that our operating losses
will not increase in the future.
We
may not be able to execute our business plan and may not generate cash from
operations.
In
the
event that cash flow from operations is less than anticipated and we are unable
to secure additional funding to cover our expenses, in order to preserve cash,
we would be required to reduce expenditures and effect reductions in our
corporate infrastructure, either of which could have a material adverse effect
on our ability to continue our current level of operations. To the extent that
operating expenses increase or we need additional funds to make acquisitions,
develop new technologies or acquire strategic assets, the need for additional
funding may be accelerated and there can be no assurances that any such
additional funding can be obtained on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If
we
were not able to generate sufficient capital, either from operations or through
additional debt or equity financing, to fund our current operations, we would
be
forced to significantly reduce or delay our plans for continued research and
development and expansion. This could significantly reduce the value of our
securities.
Our
independent registered public accounting firm has expressed doubt about our
ability to continue as a going concern, which may hinder our ability to obtain
future financing
Our
consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2005 have been prepared
under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern for the year
ending December 31, 2006. Our independent registered public accounting firm
has
issued a report dated March 15, 2006 that included an explanatory paragraph
expressing substancial doubt in our ability to continue as a going concern
without additional capital becoming available. Our
ability to continue as a going concern ultimately is dependent on our ability
to
generate a profit which is likely dependant upon our ability to obtain
additional equity or debt financing, attain further operating efficiencies
and,
ultimately, to achieve profitable operations. The financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.
RISKS
RELATED TO MANUFACTURING
The
manufacture of OLED-on-silicon
is new and OLED
microdisplays have not been produced in significant quantities.
If
we are
unable to produce our products in sufficient quantity, we will be unable to
maintain and attract new customers. In addition, we cannot assure you that
once
we commence volume production we will attain yields at high throughput that
will
result in profitable gross margins or that we will not experience manufacturing
problems which could result in delays in delivery of orders or product
introductions.
We
are dependent on a single manufacturing line.
We
currently manufacture our products on a single manufacturing line. If we
experience any significant disruption in the operation of our manufacturing
facility or a serious failure of a critical piece of equipment, we may be unable
to supply microdisplays to our customers. For this reason, some OEMs may also
be
reluctant to commit a broad line of products to our microdisplays without a
second production facility in place. However, we try to maintain product
inventory to fill the requirements under such circumstances. Interruptions
in
our manufacturing could be caused by manufacturing equipment problems, the
introduction of new equipment into the manufacturing process or delays in the
delivery of new manufacturing equipment. Lead-time for delivery of manufacturing
equipment can be extensive. No assurance can be given that we will not lose
potential sales or be unable to meet production orders due to production
interruptions in our manufacturing line. In order to meet the requirements
of
certain OEMs for multiple manufacturing sites, we will have to expend capital
to
secure additional sites and may not be able to manage multiple sites
successfully.
We
could experience manufacturing interruptions, delays, or inefficiencies if
we
are unable to timely and reliably procure components from single-sourced
suppliers.
We
maintain several single-source supplier relationships, either because
alternative sources are not available or the relationship is advantageous
due to
performance, quality, support, delivery, capacity, or price considerations.
If
the supply of a critical single-source material or component is delayed or
curtailed, we may not be able to ship the related product in desired quantities
and in a timely manner. Even where alternative sources of supply are available,
qualification of the alternative suppliers and establishment of reliable
supplies could result in delays and a possible loss of sales, which could
harm
operating results.
18
We
expect to depend on semiconductor contract manufacturers to supply our silicon
integrated circuits and other suppliers of key components, materials and
services.
We
do not
manufacture the silicon integrated circuits on which we incorporate our OLED
technology. Instead, we expect to provide the design layouts to semiconductor
contract manufacturers who will manufacture the integrated circuits on silicon
wafers. We also expect to depend on suppliers of a variety of other components
and services, including circuit boards, graphic integrated circuits, passive
components, materials and chemicals, and equipment support. Our inability to
obtain sufficient quantities of high quality silicon integrated circuits or
other necessary components, materials or services on a timely basis could result
in manufacturing delays, increased costs and ultimately in reduced or delayed
sales or lost orders which could materially and adversely affect our operating
results.
RISKS
RELATED TO OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
We
rely on our license agreement with Eastman Kodak for the development of our
products.
We
rely
on our license agreement with Eastman Kodak for the development of our products,
and the termination of this license, Eastman Kodak's licensing of its OLED
technology to others for microdisplay applications, or the sublicensing by
Eastman Kodak of our OLED technology to third parties, could have a material
adverse impact on our business.
Our
principal products under development utilize OLED technology that we license
from Eastman Kodak. We rely upon Eastman Kodak to protect and enforce key
patents held by Eastman Kodak, relating to OLED display technology. Eastman
Kodak's patents expire at various times in the future. Our license with Eastman
Kodak could terminate if we fail to perform any material term or covenant under
the license agreement. Since our license from Eastman Kodak is non-exclusive,
Eastman Kodak could also elect to become a competitor itself or to license
OLED
technology for microdisplay applications to others who have the potential to
compete with us. The occurrence of any of these events could have a material
adverse impact on our business.
We
may not be successful in protecting our intellectual property and proprietary
rights.
We
rely
on a combination of patents, trade secret protection, licensing agreements
and
other arrangements to establish and protect our proprietary technologies. If
we
fail to successfully enforce our intellectual property rights, our competitive
position could suffer, which could harm our operating results. Patents may
not
be issued for our current patent applications, third parties may challenge,
invalidate or circumvent any patent issued to us, unauthorized parties could
obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary despite our efforts
to
protect our proprietary rights, rights granted under patents issued to us may
not afford us any competitive advantage, others may independently develop
similar technology or design around our patents, our technology may be available
to licensees of Eastman Kodak, and protection of our intellectual property
rights may be limited in certain foreign countries. We may be required to expend
significant resources to monitor and police our intellectual property rights.
Any future infringement or other claims or prosecutions related to our
intellectual property could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Any
such claims, with or without merit, could be time consuming to defend, result
in
costly litigation, divert management's attention and resources, or require
us to
enter into royalty or licensing agreements. Such royalty or licensing
agreements, if required, may not be available on terms acceptable to us, if
at
all. Protection of intellectual property has historically been a large yearly
expense for eMagin. We have not been
in
a
financial position to properly protect all of our intellectual property, and
may
not be in a position to properly protect our position or stay ahead of
competition in new research and the protecting of the resulting intellectual
property.
RISKS
RELATED TO THE MICRODISPLAY INDUSTRY
The
commercial success of the microdisplay industry depends on the widespread market
acceptance of microdisplay systems products.
The
market for microdisplays is emerging. Our success will depend on consumer
acceptance of microdisplays as well as the success of the commercialization
of
the microdisplay market. As an OEM supplier, our customer's products must also
be well accepted. At present, it is difficult to assess or predict with any
assurance the potential size, timing and viability of market opportunities
for
our technology in this market. The viewfinder microdisplay market sector is
well
established with entrenched competitors with whom we must compete.
The
microdisplay systems business is intensely competitive.
We
do
business in intensely competitive markets that are characterized by rapid
technological change, changes in market requirements and competition from both
other suppliers and our potential OEM customers. Such markets are typically
characterized by price erosion. This intense competition could result in pricing
pressures, lower sales, reduced margins, and lower market share. Our ability
to
compete successfully will depend on a number of factors, both within and outside
our control. We expect these factors to include the following:
19
· |
our
success in designing, manufacturing and delivering expected new products,
including those implementing new technologies on a timely basis;
|
· |
our
ability to address the needs of our customers and the quality of
our
customer services;
|
· |
the
quality, performance, reliability, features, ease of use and pricing
of
our products;
|
· |
successful
expansion of our manufacturing capabilities;
|
· |
our
efficiency of production, and ability to manufacture and ship products
on
time;
|
· |
the
rate at which original equipment manufacturing customers incorporate
our
product solutions into their own products;
|
· |
the
market acceptance of our customers' products; and
|
· |
product
or technology introductions by our competitors.
|
Our
competitive position could be damaged if one or more potential OEM customers
decide to manufacture their own microdisplays, using OLED or alternate
technologies. In addition, our customers may be reluctant to rely on a
relatively small company such as eMagin for a critical component. We cannot
assure you that we will be able to compete successfully against current and
future competition, and the failure to do so would have a materially adverse
effect upon our business, operating results and financial condition.
The
display industry is cyclical.
The
display industry is characterized by fabrication facilities that require large
capital expenditures and long lead times for supplies and the subsequent
processing time, leading to frequent mismatches between supply and demand.
The
OLED microdisplay sector may experience overcapacity if and when all of the
facilities presently in the planning stage come on line leading to a difficult
market in which to sell our products.
Competing
products may get to market sooner than ours.
Our
competitors are investing substantial resources in the development and
manufacture of microdisplay systems using alternative technologies such as
reflective liquid crystal displays (LCDs), LCD-on-Silicon ("LCOS")
microdisplays, active matrix electroluminescence and scanning image systems,
and
transmissive active matrix LCDs. Our competitive position could be damaged
if
one or more of our competitors’ products get to the market sooner than our
products. We cannot assure you that our product will get to market ahead of
our
competitors or that we will be able to compete successfully against current
and
future competition. The failure to do so would have a materially adverse effect
upon our business, operating results and financial condition.
Our
competitors have many advantages over us.
As
the
microdisplay market develops, we expect to experience intense competition from
numerous domestic and foreign companies including well-established corporations
possessing worldwide manufacturing and production facilities, greater name
recognition, larger retail bases and significantly greater financial, technical,
and marketing resources than us, as well as from emerging companies attempting
to obtain a share of the various markets in which our microdisplay products
have
the potential to compete. We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete
successfully against current and future competition, and the failure to do
so
would have a materially adverse effect upon our business, operating results
and
financial condition.
Our
products are subject to lengthy OEM development periods.
We
plan
to sell most of our microdisplays to OEMs who will incorporate them into
products they sell. OEMs determine during their product development phase
whether they will incorporate our products. The time elapsed between initial
sampling of our products by OEMs, the custom design of our products to meet
specific OEM product requirements, and the ultimate incorporation of our
products into OEM consumer products is significant. If our products fail to
meet
our OEM customers' cost, performance or technical requirements or if unexpected
technical challenges arise in the integration of our products into OEM consumer
products, our operating results could be significantly and adversely affected.
Long delays in achieving customer qualification and incorporation of our
products could adversely affect our business.
20
Our
products will likely experience rapidly declining unit prices.
In
the
markets in which we expect to compete, prices of established products tend
to
decline significantly over time. In order to maintain our profit margins over
the long term, we believe that we will need to continuously develop product
enhancements and new technologies that will either slow price declines of our
products or reduce the cost of producing and delivering our products. While
we
anticipate many opportunities to reduce production costs over time, there can
be
no assurance that these cost reduction plans will be successful nor is there
any
assurance that our costs can be reduced as quickly as any reduction in unit
prices. We may also attempt to offset the anticipated decrease in our average
selling price by introducing new products, increasing our sales volumes or
adjusting our product mix. If we fail to do so, our results of operations would
be materially and adversely affected.
RISKS
RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS
Our
success depends on attracting and retaining highly skilled and qualified
technical and consulting personnel.
We
must
hire highly skilled technical personnel as employees and as independent
contractors in order to develop our products. The competition for skilled
technical employees is intense and we may not be able to retain or recruit
such
personnel. We must compete with companies that possess greater financial and
other resources than we do, and that may be more attractive to potential
employees and contractors. To be competitive, we may have to increase the
compensation, bonuses, stock options and other fringe benefits offered to
employees in order to attract and retain such personnel. The costs of retaining
or attracting new personnel may have a materially adverse affect on our business
and our operating results. In addition, difficulties in hiring and retaining
technical personnel could delay the implementation of our business plan.
Our
success depends in a large part on the continuing service of key personnel.
Changes
in management could have an adverse effect on our business. We are dependent
upon the active participation of several key management personnel, including
Gary W. Jones, our chief executive officer. We will also need to recruit
additional management in order to expand according to our business plan. The
failure to attract and retain additional management or personnel could have
a
material adverse effect on our operating results and financial performance.
Our
business depends on new products and technologies.
The
market for our products is characterized by rapid changes in product, design
and
manufacturing process technologies. Our success depends to a large extent on
our
ability to develop and manufacture new products and technologies to match the
varying requirements of different customers in order to establish a competitive
position and become profitable. Furthermore, we must adopt our products and
processes to technological changes and emerging industry standards and practices
on a cost-effective and timely basis. Our failure to accomplish any of the
above
could harm our business and operating results.
We
generally do not have long-term contracts with our customers.
Our
business has primarily operated on the basis of short-term purchase orders.
We
are now receiving longer term purchase agreements, such as those which comprise
our $28 million backlog, and procurement contracts, but we cannot guarantee
that
we will continue to do so. Our current purchase agreements can be cancelled
or
revised without penalty, depending on the circumstances. We plan production
on
the basis of internally generated forecasts of demand, which makes it difficult
to accurately forecast revenues. If we fail to accurately forecast operating
results, our business may suffer and the value of your investment in the Company
may decline.
Our
business strategy may fail if we cannot continue to form strategic relationships
with companies that manufacture and use products that could incorporate our
OLED-on-silicon technology.
Our
prospects will be significantly affected by our ability to develop strategic
alliances with OEMs for incorporation of our OLED-on-silicon technology into
their products. While we intend to continue to establish strategic relationships
with manufacturers of electronic consumer products, personal computers,
chipmakers, lens makers, equipment makers, material suppliers and/or systems
assemblers, there is no assurance that we will be able to continue to establish
and maintain strategic relationships on commercially acceptable terms, or that
the alliances we do enter in to will realize their objectives. Failure to do
so
would have a material adverse effect on our business.
Our
business depends to some extent on international transactions.
We
purchase needed materials from companies located abroad and may be adversely
affected by political and currency risk, as well as the additional costs of
doing business with a foreign entity. Some customers in other countries have
longer receivable periods or warranty periods. In addition, many of the OEMs
that are the most likely long-term purchasers of our microdisplays are located
abroad exposing us to additional political and currency risk. We may find it
necessary to locate manufacturing facilities abroad to be closer to our
customers which could expose us to various risks, including management of a
multi-national organization, the complexities of complying with foreign laws
and
customs, political instability and the complexities of taxation in multiple
jurisdictions.
Our
business may expose us to product liability claims.
Our
business may expose us to potential product liability claims. Although no such
claims have been brought against us to date, and to our knowledge no such claim
is threatened or likely, we may face liability to product users for damages
resulting from the faulty design or manufacture of our products. While we plan
to maintain product liability insurance coverage, there can be no assurance
that
product liability claims will not exceed coverage limits, fall outside the
scope
of such coverage, or that such insurance will continue to be available at
commercially reasonable rates, if at all.
21
Our
business is subject to environmental regulations and possible liability arising
from potential employee claims of exposure to harmful substances used in the
development and manufacture of our products.
We
are
subject to various governmental regulations related to toxic, volatile,
experimental and other hazardous chemicals used in our design and manufacturing
process. Our failure to comply with these regulations could result in the
imposition of fines or in the suspension or cessation of our operations.
Compliance with these regulations could require us to acquire costly equipment
or to incur other significant expenses. We develop, evaluate and utilize new
chemical compounds in the manufacture of our products. While we attempt to
ensure that our employees are protected from exposure to hazardous materials,
we
cannot assure you that potentially harmful exposure will not occur or that
we
will not be liable to employees as a result.
RISKS
RELATED TO OUR STOCK
The
substantial number of shares that are or will be eligible for sale could cause
our common stock price to decline even if the company is successful.
Sales
of
significant amounts of common stock in the public market, or the perception
that
such sales may occur, could materially affect the market price of our common
stock. These sales might also make it more difficult for us to sell equity
or
equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem
appropriate. As of March 17, 2006, we have outstanding (i) options to purchase
18,052,636 shares and (ii) warrants to purchase 26,197,247 shares of common
stock.
We
have a staggered board of directors and other anti-takeover provisions, which
could inhibit potential investors or delay or prevent a change of control that
may favor you.
Our
Board
of Directors is divided into three classes and our Board members are elected
for
terms that are staggered. This could discourage the efforts by others to obtain
control of the company. Some of the provisions of our certificate of
incorporation, our bylaws and Delaware law could, together or separately,
discourage potential acquisition proposals or delay or prevent a change in
control. In particular, our board of directors is authorized to issue up to
10,000,000 shares of preferred stock (less any outstanding shares of preferred
stock) with rights and privileges that might be senior to our common stock,
without the consent of the holders of the common stock.
ITEM
1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS
None.
Our
corporate offices are located in Bellevue, Washington. Our Washington location
includes administrative, finance, operations, research and development and
sales
and marketing functions and consists of leased space of approximately 19,000
square feet. The lease expires in 2009. Our manufacturing facility is located
in
Hopewell Junction, New York, where we lease approximately 40,000 square feet
from IBM. The NY facility houses our equipment for OLED microdisplay
fabrication, assembly operations, research and development, and administrative
functions. The lease expires in 2009. We believe our facilities are adequate
for
our current and near-term needs. See Note 12 to our Consolidated Financial
Statement for more information about our lease commitments.
On
December 6, 2005, New York State Urban Development Corporation commenced action
in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York against
eMagin, asserting breach of contract and seeking to recover a $150,000 grant
which was made to eMagin based on goals set forth in the agreement for
recruitment of employees. On
March
30, 2006, eMagin filed an answer denying the material allegations of the
Complaint and asserted a number of affirmative defenses. eMagin and
New York State Urban Development Corporation are in on-going negotiations in
order to resolve this matter.
Our
Annual Meeting of Stockholders was held on September 30, 2005 and we disclosed
the results of the matters voted on in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed
on November 14, 2005.

As
of
March 17, 2006, there were 479 holders of record of our common stock. Because
brokers and other institutions hold many of the shares on behalf of
shareholders, we are unable to determine the actual number of shareholders
represented by these record holders.
Dividends
We
have
never declared or paid cash dividends on our common stock. We currently
anticipate that we will retain all future earnings to fund the operation of
our
business and do not anticipate paying dividends on our common stock in the
foreseeable future.
Recent
Issuances of Unregistered Stock
On
September 30, and October 3, 2005, we issued an aggregate of 497,500 options
that have common shares underlying to 6 of our directors as compensation for
additional services performed on our behalf in response to Sarbanes-Oxley
requirements in each of their capacities as directors of our company.
*All
of
the above issuances and sales were deemed to be exempt under Rule 506 of
Regulation D and Section (2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. No
advertising or general solicitation was employed in offering the securities.
The
offerings and sales were made to a limited number of persons, all of whom were
accredited investors, business associates of eMagin or executive officers of
eMagin, and transfer was restricted by eMagin in accordance with the requirement
of the Securities Act of 1933. In addition to representations by the
above-reference persons, we have made independent determinations that 11 of
the
above-referenced person were accredited or sophisticated investors, and that
they were capable of analyzing the merits and risks of their investment, and
that they understood the speculative nature of their investment. Furthermore,
all of the above-referenced persons were provided with access to our Securities

Introduction
The
following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements
and Notes thereto. Our fiscal year ends December 31. This document contains
certain forward-looking statements including, among others, anticipated trends
in our financial condition and results of operations and our business strategy.
(See Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors "). These forward-looking statements are
based largely on our current expectations and are subject to a number of risks
and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from these
forward-looking statements. Important factors to consider in evaluating such
forward-looking statements include (i) changes in external factors or in our
internal budgeting process which might impact trends in our results of
operations; (ii) unanticipated working capital or other cash requirements;
(iii)
changes in our business strategy or an inability to execute our strategy due
to
unanticipated changes in the industries in which we operate; and (iv) various
competitive market factors that may prevent us from competing successfully
in
the marketplace.
Overview
We
design
and manufacture miniature displays, which we refer to as
OLED-on-silicon-microdisplays, and microdisplay modules for virtual imaging,
primarily for incorporation into the products of other manufacturers.
Microdisplays are typically smaller than many postage stamps, but when viewed
through a magnifier they can contain all of the information appearing on a
high-resolution personal computer screen. Our microdisplays use organic light
emitting diodes, or OLEDs, which emit light themselves when a current is passed
through the device. Our technology permits OLEDs to be coated onto silicon
chips
to produce high resolution OLED-on-silicon microdisplays.
We
believe that our OLED-on-silicon microdisplays offer a number of advantages
in
near to the eye applications over other current microdisplay technologies,
including lower power requirements, less weight, fast video speed without
flicker, and wider viewing angles. In addition, many computer and video
electronic system functions can be built directly into the OLED-on-silicon
microdisplay, resulting in compact systems with lower expected overall system
costs relative to alternate microdisplay technologies.
Since
our
inception in 1996 through 2004, we derived the majority of our revenues from
fees paid to us under research and development contracts, primarily with the
U.S. federal government. We have devoted significant resources to the
development and commercial launch of our products. We commenced limited initial
sales of our SVGA+ microdisplay in May 2001 and commenced shipping samples
of
our SVGA-3D microdisplay in February 2002. From inception to December 31, 2005,
we have recognized an aggregate of approximately $11.5 million from sales of
our
products, and as of December 31, 2005, we have a backlog of $28.3 million in
products ordered for delivery through 2009. These products are being applied
or
considered for near-eye and headset applications in products such as
entertainment and gaming headsets, handheld Internet and telecommunication
appliances, viewfinders, and wearable computers to be manufactured by original
equipment manufacturer (OEM) customers. We have also shipped a limited number
of
our Z800 3DVisor personal display systems. In addition to marketing
OLED-on-silicon microdisplays as components, we also offer microdisplays as
an
integrated package, which we call Microviewer that includes a compact lens
for
viewing the microdisplay and electronic interfaces to convert the signal from
our customer's product into a viewable image on the microdisplay. Through our
operations in Washington state we are also developing head-wearable displays
that incorporate our Microviewer.
We
license our core OLED technology from Eastman Kodak and we have developed our
own technology to create high performance OLED-on-silicon microdisplays and
related optical systems. We believe our technology licensing agreement with
Eastman Kodak, coupled with our own intellectual property portfolio, gives
us a
leadership position in OLED and OLED-on-silicon microdisplay technology. We
believe that we are the only company to demonstrate publicly and market
full-color small molecule OLED-on-silicon microdisplays.
Company
History
Historically,
we have been a developmental stage company. As of January 1, 2003, we were
no
longer classified as a development stage company. We have transitioned to
manufacturing our product and intend to significantly increase our marketing,
sales, and research and development efforts, and expand our operating
infrastructure. Currently, most of our operating expenses are fixed. If we
are
unable to generate significant revenues, our net losses in any given period
could be greater than expected.
Critical
Accounting Policies
The
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") defines "critical accounting
policies" as those that require application of management's most difficult,
subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates
about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in
subsequent periods.
Not
all
of the accounting policies require management to make difficult, subjective
or
complex judgments or estimates. However, the following policies could be deemed
to be critical within the SEC definition.
25
Revenue
and Cost Recognition
Revenue
on product sales is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement
exists, such as when a purchase order or contract is received from the customer,
the price is fixed, title and risk of loss to the goods has changed and there
is
a reasonable assurance of collection of the sales proceeds. We obtain written
purchase authorizations from our customers for a specified amount of product
at
a specified price and consider delivery to have occurred at the time of
shipment. Revenue is recognized at shipment and we record a reserve for
estimated sales returns, which is reflected as a reduction of revenue at the
time of revenue recognition. Products sold directly to consumers have a thirty
day right of return. Revenue on consumer products is deferred until the right
of
return has expired.
Revenues
from research and development activities relating to firm fixed-price contracts
are generally recognized on the percentage-of-completion method of accounting
as
costs are incurred (cost-to-cost basis). Revenues from research and development
activities relating to cost-plus-fee contracts include costs incurred plus
a
portion of estimated fees or profits based on the relationship of costs incurred
to total estimated costs. Contract costs include all direct material and labor
costs and an allocation of allowable indirect costs as defined by each contract,
as periodically adjusted to reflect revised agreed upon rates. These rates
are
subject to audit by the other party. Amounts can be billed on a bi-monthly
basis. Billing is based on subjective cost investment factors.
Use
of estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
and
the disclosure 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. These
estimates and assumptions relate to recording net revenue, collectibility of
accounts receivable, useful lives and impairment of tangible and intangible
assets, accruals, income taxes, inventory realization and other factors.
Management has exercised reasonable judgment in deriving these estimates.
Consequently, a change in conditions could affect these estimates.
Fair
value of financial instruments
eMagin’s
cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable are stated
at
cost which appropriates fair value due to the short-term nature of these
instruments.
Results
of Operations
The
following table presents certain financial data as a percentage of total revenue

Revenues
Revenues
increased by $152 thousand to a total of $3.7 million for the year ended
December 31, 2005 from $3.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2004,
representing an increase of 4%. This increase was due primarily to the
broadening of our product offerings with the Z800 product and incremental
revenue generated by these sales. Our contract revenue decreased approximately
$72 thousand while our product revenue increased approximately $217 thousand.
Average price per unit for microdisplays was $372 in 2005 and 2004. Our current
expectation is that revenue will continue to grow in 2006 if we successfully
execute our business plan.
26
Cost
of Goods Sold
Cost
of
goods sold includes direct and indirect costs associated with production and
inventory losses. In the year ended December 31, 2005 we recorded approximately
$10.2 million in cost of goods sold which resulted in a gross loss of $6.5
million as compared to approximately $6.0 million in costs of goods sold
resulting in a gross loss of $2.4 million in the year ended December 31, 2004.
The production
expenses for 2005 include labor costs related to operating two full eight hour
shifts and a partial third shift as compared to a single shift in
2004. To accommodate longer operating hours and expected higher
product output in 2005 we initiated modifications to our production process
that resulted in less than 10% of our expected capacity while underway.
Stabilization of these modifications initially was expected to be completed
early in 2005, but took until the first quarter of 2006 to
achieve. As a result gross margins in 2005 declined as compared to
2004 due to the higher labor costs. We expect that gross margins will
improve in 2006 as a result of the higher output resulting from
the
production line modifications and an increase in volume.
Research
and Development Expenses
Gross
research and development expenses increased by $3.1 million to a total of $4.0
million for the year ended December 31, 2005 from $0.9 million for the year
ended December 31, 2004. The $3.1 million increase in R&D expenses for the
year ended December 31, 2005 reflects efforts to develop two new microdisplays
and three visor products. We expect research and development expenses to
increase in the coming year as we move forward with the completion of the X800
3DVisor, the Eyebud personal viewer and the new SVGA Shrink microdisplays.
Selling,
General and Administrative Expenses
General
and administrative expenses increased by $2.0 million to a total of $6.3 million
for the year ended December 31, 2005 from $4.3 million for the year ended
December 31, 2004. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses
was due primarily to an increase in staff and personnel costs. We expect
marketing, general and administrative expense to increase in future periods
as
we add to our staff, make additional investments in marketing activities.
Other
Income (Expense)
Other
income, net, for 2005 was $282 thousand and was comprised of net interest income
of $207 thousand; a gain on miscellaneous equipment sales of $38 thousand;
and a
gain on foreign exchange of $37 thousand. Other expense, net, for 2004 was
$5.0
million and was comprised of $3.2 million of non-cash charges related to the
value of the warrants issued to induce the holders of the $7.8 million in notes
to agree to an early conversion of the notes into common stock; $1.6 million
in
non-cash charges related to the remaining unamortized debt discount and
beneficial conversion feature associated with aforementioned notes; and $75
thousand in non-cash charges related to the write-off of the remaining
unamortized deferred financing costs.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We
had no
off-balance sheet arrangements
as of December 31, 2005 and 2004.
Year
Ended December 31, 2004 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2003
Revenues
Revenues
increased by $1.0 million to a total of $3.6 million for the year ended December
31, 2004 from $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, representing
an
increase of 39%. This increase was due primarily to several of our customers
reaching commercial and pre-commercial stages with their systems. Our contract
revenue decreased approximately $300 thousand while our product revenue
increased approximately $1.3 million. Average unit sales price for displays
decreased to $372 in 2004 as compared to $422 in 2003 as we increase our larger
order fulfillment.
Cost
of Goods Sold
Cost
of
goods sold includes direct and indirect costs associated with production and
inventory losses. In the year ended December 31, 2004 we recorded approximately
$6.0 million in cost of goods sold which resulted in a gross loss of $2.4
million as compared to approximately $5.1 million in costs of goods sold
resulting in a gross loss of $2.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2003.
Although both revenue and costs of goods sold increased approximately $1.0
million, our gross loss decreased to (66%) in 2004 from (99%) 2003.
27
Research
and Development Expenses
Gross
research and development expenses increased by $879 thousand to a total of
$898
thousand for the year ended December 31, 2004 from $19 thousand for the year
ended December 31, 2003. The $879 thousand increase in R&D expenses for the
year ended December 31, 2004 reflects initial new product development expenses
related to new display and visor products, our renewed ability to invest in
product improvement and new product lines.
Non-Cash
Stock Based Compensation
Non-cash
stock based compensation for the year ended December 31, 2004 decreased $2.1
million to a total of $88 thousand as compared to $2.2 million for the year
ended December 31, 2003. The amount of compensation recorded in 2004 was related
to the balance of options issued in 2000 and re-priced during the merger.
Non-cash stock-based compensation costs are the result of amortization of the
intrinsic value ascribed for the issuance of stock options at the time of grant.
The amortization was done over the vesting period of such options.
Selling,
General and Administrative Expenses
General
and administrative expenses increased by $0.8 million to a total of $4.3 million
for the year ended December 31, 2004 from $3.5 million for the year ended
December 31, 2003. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses
was due primarily to an increase in staff and personnel costs.
Other
Income (Expense)
Other
expenses for 2004 were $5 million for 2004 up from other income of $3.6 million
in 2003. The primary causes of the change were other income of $4.6 million
in
2003 related to a gain on debt settlement not repeated in 2004 and an increase
in interest expense to $5.1 million in 2004 up from $1.3 million in 2003. The
increase in interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 was
attributable to three factors: (1) $3.2 million of non-cash charges related
to
the value of the warrants issued to induce the holders of the $7.8 million
in
Notes to agree to an early conversion of the Notes into common stock, (2) $1.6
million in non-cash charges related to the remaining unamortized debt discount
and beneficial conversion feature associated with the aforementioned Notes,
and
(3) $75 thousand in non-cash charges related to the write-off of the remaining
unamortized deferred financing costs.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We
had no
off-balance sheet arrangements
as of December 31, 2004 and 2003
At
December 31, 2005, our principal source of liquidity was cash of $6.8 million.
Our working capital was $8.9 million compared to $14.9 million at December
31,
2004.
For
the
year ended December 31, 2005, net cash used by operating activities was $15.7
million, primarily attributable to our net loss of $16.5 million. For the year
ended December 31, 2004, net cash used by operating activities was $8.3 million,
primarily attributable to our net loss of $12.7 million principally offset
by
non-cash activities of a $5.1 non-cash interest related charge (see Note 7).
For
the
year ended December 31, 2005, net cash used by investing activities was $1.0
million primarily related to purchases of equipment. Net cash used by investing
activities for the year ended December 31, 2004 was $0.8 million primarily
related to equipment purchases.
Net
cash
provided by financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2005 was
$10.1 million and was comprised primarily of $8.4 million in proceeds from
the
sale of common stock and $1.6 million from the exercise of stock options and
warrants. Net cash provided by financing activities the year ended December
31,
2004 was $21.5 million and was comprised primarily of $16.4 million in proceeds
from the sale of common stock and $5.1 million from the exercise of stock
options and warrants.
Our
consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2005 have been prepared
under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern for the year
ending December 31, 2006. Our independent registered public accounting firm
has
issued a report dated March 15,
2006
that included an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt in our
ability to continue as a going concern without additional capital becoming
available. Our
ability to continue as a going concern ultimately is dependent on our ability
to
generate a profit which is likely dependant upon our ability to obtain
additional equity or debt financing, attain further operating efficiencies
and,
ultimately, to achieve profitable operations. The financial statements do
not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.
Based
on
our current business plans we expect to take one of two courses of action in
order to insure that we have sufficient cash to meet our requirements over
the
next 12 months. We currently expect that our business will experience
significant revenue growth during 2006 which will result in higher accounts
receivable levels and higher inventory levels. To fund these requirements as
well as other operating or investing cash requirements, we intend to use debt
collateralized by our assets and to a lesser extent the sale of equity. Though
we have a proven history of successfully raising capital there is no guarantee
that we will be successful with our current efforts. If we are not successful,
we will reduce the size of our organization and will rely on our current cash
and raw materials to support a reduced operating plan that should still support
modest growth in our business, but may have a material impact in our ability
to
sustain growth and therefore achieve profitability. Based on these options,
we
believe that we will have to raise capital in order to have sufficient cash
to
meet our requirements over the next 12 months.

ITEM
7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET
RISK
Market
rate risk
We
are
exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates and foreign currency
exchanges rates.
Interest
rate risk
We
hold
our assets in cash and cash equivalents. We do not hold derivative financial
instruments or equity securities.
Foreign
currency exchange rate risk
Our
revenue and expenses are denominated in U.S. dollars. We have conducted some
transactions in foreign currencies and expect to continue to do so; we do not
anticipate that foreign exchange gains or losses will be significant. We have
not engaged in foreign currency hedging to date.
Our
international business is subject to risks typical of international activity,
including, but not limited to, differing economic conditions; change in
political climates; differing tax structures; and other regulations and
restrictions. Accordingly, our future results could be impacted by changes
in
these or other factors.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board
of
Directors and Stockholders
eMagin
Corporation
We
have
audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of eMagin Corporation
and
subsidiary (the "Company") as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows
for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on
our audits.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we
plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining,
on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used
and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In
our
opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the consolidated financial position of eMagin Corporation
and
subsidiary as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the consolidated results of
their operations and their consolidated cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 2005 in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company
will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the
consolidated financial statements, the Company has had recurring losses from
operations which it believes will continue through 2006. These factors raise
substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also discussed in Note 2. The
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

eMAGIN
CORPORATION
NOTES
TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATMENTS
Note
1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS
eMagin
Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary (the “Company”) designs, develops,
manufactures, and markets virtual imaging products for consumer, commercial,
industrial and military applications. The Company’s products are sold mainly in
North America, Asia, and Europe,
Principles
of consolidation
The
accompanying audited consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of
eMagin Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary. All intercompany
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
These
statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion
of
management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position
and
results of operations for the periods presented.
Basis
of presentation
The
consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company
will continue as a going concern. The Company has had recurring losses from
operations which it believes will continue through 2006. These factors raise
substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern
without obtaining additional funding. Management is currently negotiating
establishment of a standby debt facility with existing investors and or the
placement of debt with new investors to address this funding requirement. If
management is unsuccessful in its efforts to obtain additional funding, the
Company will reduce its operating plan which may have an impact on its ability
to achieve profitability.The
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Use
of estimates
In
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of
America, management utilizes certain estimates and assumptions that affect
the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates
and
judgments. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience
and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about
the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent
from
other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue
and cost recognition
Revenue
is recognized when products are shipped to customers, net of allowances for
anticipated returns. The Company’s revenue-earning
activities generally involve delivering products and revenues
are considered to be earned when the Company has completed the process
by which it is entitled to such revenues.
Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of
an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, selling price is
fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured. The Company defers
revenue recognition on products sold directly to the consumer with a thirty
day
right of return. Revenue is recognized upon the expiration of the right of
return.
The
Company also earns revenues from certain of eMagin's
R&D activities under
both firm fixed-price contracts and cost-type
contracts, including some cost-plus-fee contracts.
Revenues relating to firm fixed-price contracts are
generally recognized on the percentage-of-completion method
of accounting as costs are incurred (cost-to-cost basis).
Revenues on cost-plus-fee contracts include costs incurred plus a
portion of estimated fees or profits based on the relationship of costs incurred
to total estimated costs. Contract costs include all direct material and
labor costs and an allocation of allowable indirect costs as
defined by each contract, as periodically adjusted to reflect revised
agreed upon rates. These rates are subject to audit by the other party.
Amounts can be billed on a bi-monthly basis.
Research
and development expenses
Research
and development costs are expensed as incurred.
37
Cash
and cash equivalents
All
highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less
at
the date of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents.
Investments-held
to maturity
Securities
that the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are
classified as held-to-maturity and are carried at amortized cost on the balance
sheet.
Accounts
receivable
The
majority of the Company’s commercial accounts receivable is due from Original
Equipment Manufacturers ("OEM’s”). Credit is extended based on evaluation of a
customers' financial condition and, generally, collateral is not required.
Accounts receivable are payable in U.S. dollars, are due within 30-90 days
and
are stated at amounts due from customers net of an allowance for doubtful
accounts. Any account outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms
is
considered past due.
Allowance
for doubtful account
The
allowance for doubtful accounts reflects an estimate of probable losses inherent
in the accounts receivable balance. The allowance is determined based on a
variety of factors, including the length of time receivables are past due,
historical experience, the customer's current ability to pay its obligation,
and
the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. The Company
will record a specific reserve for individual accounts when the Company becomes
aware of a customer's inability to meet its financial obligations, such as
in
the case of bankruptcy filings or deterioration in the customer's operating
results or financial position. If circumstances related to customers change,
the
Company would further adjust estimates of the recoverability of
receivables.
Inventory
Inventory
is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in
first-out method. Cost includes materials, labor, and manufacturing overhead
related to the purchase and production of inventories. The Company regularly
reviews inventory quantities on hand, future purchase commitments with our
suppliers, and the estimated utility of the inventory. If our review indicates
a
reduction in utility below carrying value, we reduce the inventory to a new
cost
basis.
Equipment,
furniture and leasehold improvements
Equipment,
furniture and leasehold improvements are stated at cost. Depreciation on
equipment is calculated using the straight-line method of depreciation over
its
estimated useful life. Amortization of leasehold improvements is calculated
by
using the straight-line method over the shorter of their estimated useful lives
or lease terms. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense
as incurred.
In
accordance with SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets," the Company performs impairment tests on its long-lived
assets when circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be
recoverable. If required, recoverability is tested by comparing the estimated
future undiscounted cash flows of the asset or asset group to its carrying
value. Impairment losses, if any, are recognized based on the excess of the
assets' carrying amounts over their estimated fair values.
Intangible
Assets
The
Company’s intangible assets consist of patents that are amortized over their
estimated useful lives of fifteen years using the straight line method. Total
intangible amortization expense was approximately $4 thousand, $2 thousand
and
$0 for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003,
respectively.
Income
taxes
Deferred
income taxes are recorded by applying enacted statutory tax rates to temporary
differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases
of existing assets expected to apply to taxable income in the years that the
asset is to be recovered, and liabilities. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the
Company has gross deferred tax assets of approximately $73 million, and $59
million, respectively, primarily resulting from the future tax benefit of net
operating loss carryforwards and temporary differences relating to amortization
of intangible assets. Such net deferred tax assets are fully offset by a
valuation allowance due to the uncertainty as to their realizability.
Loss
per common share
In
accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Basic Earnings Per Share", net loss per common
share amounts ("basic EPS") is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding and excluding any potential
dilution. Net loss per common share amounts assuming dilution ("diluted EPS")
reflects the potential dilution from the exercise of stock options and warrants.
These common equivalent shares have been excluded from the computation of
diluted EPS for all periods presented as their effect is antidilutive. The
years
ended December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003 do not include options and warrants
to
purchase 44,249,883; 35,177,391; and 24,498,059 respectively, of common
equivalent shares, as their effect would be antidilutive.
38
Comprehensive
income (loss)
SFAS
No.
130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", requires companies to report all changes
in equity during a period, except those resulting from investment by owners
and
distributions to owners, for the period in which they are recognized.
Comprehensive income (loss) is the total of net income (loss) and other
comprehensive income (loss) items, such as unrealized gains or losses on
securities classified as available-for-sale and foreign currency translation
adjustments. Comprehensive income (loss) must be reported on the face of the
annual financial statements. The Company's operations did not give rise to
any
material items includable in comprehensive income (loss), which were not already
in net loss for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003. Accordingly,
the Company's comprehensive loss is the same as its net income (loss) for the
periods presented.
Stock-based
compensation
The
Company has elected to apply Accounting Principals Board (APB) Opinion No.
25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", and related interpretations in
accounting for its stock-based compensation plans. Accordingly, the Company
records expense for employee stock compensation plans equal to the excess of
the
market price of the underlying shares at the date of grant over the exercise
price.
As
of
December 31, 2005, the Company has outstanding options to purchase 18,052,636
shares. Under APB No. 25, when the exercise price of employee stock options
equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant no
compensation expense is recorded. The Company discloses information relating
to
the fair value of stock-based compensation awards in accordance with Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No.123 ("SFAS No. 123"), "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation". The following table illustrates the effect on net
loss and net loss per share as if the Company had applied the fair value
recognition provision of SFAS No. 123. The fair value of each option grant
is
estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model
with
the following assumptions used for grants in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively:

Note
7 - DEBT SETTLEMENT AND DEBT CONVERSION
In
2003,
the Company entered into settlements and restructuring agreements with certain
of eMagin's creditors, pursuant to which the creditors agreed to accept shares
of eMagin's common stock in full or partial satisfaction of the amount owed
to
them, or which allowed us to either make discounted payments to them or to
make
payments under more favorable payment terms than previously were in place.
As a
result of the above transactions, the Company recorded $4.6 million as a gain
on
settlement of debt for the year ended December 31, 2003. No such settlements
were made in the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004.
In
February 2004, we entered into an agreement whereby the holders of our Secured
Convertible Notes (the "Notes"), which were due in November 2005, agreed to
an
early conversion of all of the $7.8 million principal amount of the Notes,
together with the $.742 million of accrued interest on the Notes, into
11,394,621 shares of common stock of eMagin. On the date of the conversion
the
Company recorded $1.6 million in interest expense related to the unamortized
debt discount and beneficial conversion feature and $75 thousand in interest
expense related to the write-off of deferred financing costs.
In
consideration of the Noteholders agreeing to the early conversion of the Notes,
eMagin issued the Noteholders warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2.5 million
shares of common stock (the "Warrants"), which Warrants are exercisable at
a
price of $2.76 per share. 1.5 million of the Warrants, "D warrants", were
exercisable until December 31, 2005. The remaining 1.0 million of the Warrants,
"E warrants", are exercisable until June 10, 2008. Using the Black-Scholes
method of valuating warrants, an expense totaling $3.18 million was recorded
in
interest expense in the first quarter of 2004 to record an estimated value
for
these warrants. The fair value of the warrants was estimated at $2.30 using
the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions for the two
sets of warrants: (1) average expected volatility of 100%, (2) average risk-free
interest rates of 3.52%, (3) dividends of 0%, and (4) Average Term (in days)
of
670 for the D warrants and 1,460 for the E warrants.
The
difference between the statutory federal income tax rate on the Company's
pre-tax income and the Company's effective income tax rate is summarized as

In
2003,
in connection with the restructuring of its indebtedness (see Note 7), the
Company realized income of $4.6 million. Under Section 108 of the Internal
Revenue Code, this income is excludable for federal income tax purposes to
the
extent that the amount of the Company’s liabilities immediately before the
restructuring exceeds the fair market value of its assets as a going concern
at
such time. The Company estimates the entire $4.6 million is excludable under
this exception.
Pursuant
to Section 108 of the Internal Revenue Code, the excluded income reduces the
Company's tax attributes as of January 1, 2005. Such reduction is first applied
to reduce net operating loss carryforwards.
Note
9 - SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
Common
Stock
2005
On
October 20, 2005, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement,
pursuant to which the Company sold and issued 16,619,056 shares of common stock,
par value $0.001 per share, at a price of $.55 per share and warrants to
purchase up to 9,971,427 shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price
of approximately $9.14 million. The net proceeds received after expenses were
approximately $8.4 million.
The
warrants are exercisable at a price of $1.00 per share and expire on April
20,
2011. Of the 9,971,427 warrants, 6,647,623 of the warrants are exercisable
on or
after May 20, 2006. The remaining 3,323,804 are exercisable after March 31,
2007, however these warrants will be cancelled if the Company’s net revenue for
fiscal year 2006 exceeds $20 million or if the investor has sold more than
25%
of the shares purchased under the securities purchase agreement prior to
December 31, 2006.
As
a
result of the above transaction, the outstanding 1,213,352 Series A Common
Stock
Purchase Warrants, that were issued to participants of the Securities Purchase
Agreement dated January 9, 2004, were re-priced from $1.05 to $0.55 and the
outstanding 6,500,000 Series F Common Stock Purchase Warrants, that were issued
to participants of the Securities Purchase Agreement dated October 25, 2004,
were re-priced from $1.21 to $1.09.
A
registration rights agreement was entered into in connection with the private
placement which requires the Company to file a registration statement for the
resale of the common stock and the shares underlying the warrants. The Company
must use its best efforts to have the registration statement declared effective
by the end of a specified grace period and also maintain the effectiveness
of
the registration statement until all common stock have been sold or may be
sold
without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act.
If
the Company fails to have the registration statement declared effective within
the grace period or fails to maintain the effectiveness, the agreement requires
the Company to pay each investor cash payments equal to 2.0% of the aggregate
purchase price monthly until the failure is cured. If the Company fails to
pay
the liquidated damages, interest at 15.0% will accrue until the liquidated
damages are paid in full. The registration statement was filed and declared
effective within the specified grace period. As of March 31, 2006, the
registration statement remains effective.
The
Company accounts for the registration rights agreement as a separate
freestanding instrument and accounts for the liquidated damages provision as
a
derivative liability subject to SFAS 133. The estimated fair value of the
liability is based on an estimate of the probability and costs of cash penalties
being incurred. The Company determined that the fair value of the liability
was
immaterial and it is not recorded in accrued liabilities. The Company will
revalue the potential liability at each balance sheet date.
In
2005,
the Company received approximately $1.6 million for the exercise of
approximately 111,000 options and 3.1 million warrants. The Company also issued
approximately 543,000 shares of common stock for the payment of $460,000 of
services rendered and to be rendered in the future. The fair value of the
services was measured at market value of the common stock at the time of
payment. As such, the Company recorded the fair value of the services rendered
in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying audited
consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2005.
The
2004
Non-Employee Compensation Plan (the “2004 Plan”) was established to help the
Company retain consultants, professionals and service providers. The Board
of
Directors will select the recipient of the awards, the nature of the awards
and
the amount. At the 2005 Annual Shareholder meeting, the shareholders approved
an
increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock usable from 1
million to 2 million. This number is subject to adjustment in the event of
a
recapitalization, reorganization or similar event. The maximum number of shares
awarded in any one year is 500,000 shares.
2004
On
January 9, 2004, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with several
accredited institutional and private investors whereby such investors purchased
an aggregate of 3,333,363 shares of common stock and 4,312,212 warrant shares
for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $4.2
millions.
The
shares of common stock were priced at a 20% discount to the average closing
price of the stock from December 30, 2003 to January 6, 2004, which ranged
from
$1.38 to $1.94 per share during the period for an average closing price of
$1.26
per share. In addition, the investors received warrants to purchase an aggregate
of 2,000,019 shares of common stock (subject to anti-dilution adjustments)
exercisable at a price of $1.74 per share for a period of five (5) years. The
warrants were priced at a 10% premium to the average closing price of the stock
for the pricing period.
42
In
connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement, eMagin also issued additional
warrants to the investors to acquire an aggregate of 2,312,193 shares of common
stock. 1,206,914 of such warrants are exercisable, within 6 months from the
effective date of the registration statement covering these securities, at
a
price of $1.74 per share (a 10% premium to the average closing price of the
stock for the pricing period), and 1,105,279 of such warrants are exercisable
within 12 months from the effective date of the registration statement covering
these securities, at a price of $1.90 per share (a 20% premium to the average
closing price of the stock for the pricing period).
The
Company also entered into a registration rights agreement with the
aforementioned investors with respect to the common stock issued and common
stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants. A registration rights
agreement was entered into in connection with the private placement which
requires the Company to file a registration statement for the resale of the
common stock and the shares underlying the warrants. The Company must use its
best efforts to have the registration statement declared effective by the end
of
a specified grace period and also maintain the effectiveness of the registration
statement until all common stock have been sold or may be sold without volume
restrictions pursuant to Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act. If the Company
fails
to have the registration statement declared effective within the grace period
or
fails to maintain the effectiveness, the agreement requires the Company to
pay
each investor cash payments equal to 2.0% of the aggregate purchase price
monthly until the failure is cured. If the Company fails to pay the liquidated
damages, interest at 15.0% will accrue until the liquidated damages are paid
in
full. The registration statement was filed and declared effective within the
specified grace period. As of March 31, 2006, the registration statement remains
effective.
The
Company accounts for the registration rights agreement as a separate
freestanding instrument and accounts for the liquidated damages provision as
a
derivative liability subject o SFAS 133. The estimated fair value of the
liability is based on an estimate of the probability and costs of cash penalties
being incurred. The Company determined that the fair value of the liability
was
immaterial and it is not recorded in accrued liabilities. The Company will
revalue the potential liability at each balance sheet date.
In
February 2004, the Company and all of the holders of the Secured Convertible
Notes (the "Notes"), which were due in November 2005, entered into an agreement
whereby the holders agreed to an early conversion of 100% of the principal
amount of the Notes aggregating $7.825 million, together with all of the accrued
interest of approximately $742,000 on the Notes, into 11,394,621 shares of
the
Company's common stock. The listing of the shares issuable pursuant to such
agreement was approved by the American Stock Exchange.
In
consideration of the Noteholders agreeing to the early conversion of the Notes,
eMagin agreed to issue the Noteholders warrants to purchase an aggregate of
2.5
million shares of common stock (the "warrants"), which warrants are exercisable
at a price of $2.76 per share. 1.5 million of the warrants (series D warrants)
are exercisable until the later of (i) twelve (12) months from the date upon
which a registration statement covering the shares issuable upon exercise of
the
Warrants is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, or
(ii) December 31, 2005. The remaining 1.0 million of the warrants (series E
warrants) are exercisable until June 10, 2008. Using the Black-Scholes method
of
valuating warrants, an expense totaling $3.18 million was recorded in interest
expense during 2004 to record an estimated fair value of these warrants. The
fair value of the warrants, $3.18 million, was estimated at $2.30 using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions for the two
sets of warrants: (1) average expected volatility of 100%, (2) average risk-free
interest rates of 3.52%, (3) dividends of 0%, and (4) Average Term (in days)
of
670 for the series D warrants and 1,460 for the series E warrants.
In
connection with the above conversion, eMagin also entered into a Registration
Rights Agreement with the holders of the Notes providing the holders with
certain registration rights under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with
respect to the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants.
In
August
2004, the Company and certain of the holders of its outstanding Class A, B
and C
common stock purchase warrants entered into an agreement pursuant to which
the
Company and the holders of the warrants agreed to the $0.90 re-pricing and
exercise of Class A, B and C common stock purchase warrants. As a condition
to
the transaction, the holders of the warrants agreed to limit the right of
participation that they were granted in January 9, 2004. As a result of the
transaction, the holders agreed to re-price and exercise approximately,
2,099,894 Class A, B and/or C common stock purchase warrants for an aggregate
of
$1,889,900.
On
October 21, 2004, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement,
pursuant to which we sold and issued 10,334,525 shares of common stock, and
series F common stock warrants to purchase 5,129,762 of common stock for an
aggregate purchase price of $10,772,500. The Common Shares were priced at $1.05.
The Common Shares and the shares underlying the warrants were drawn-down off
of
a shelf registration statement which was filed by the Company on May 5, 2004,
and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 10,
2004. Net proceeds received after deducting expenses was approximately $9.75
million.
The
Series F Warrants are exercisable from April 25, 2005 until April 25, 2010
at an
exercise price of $1.21 per share, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence
of
specific events, including stock dividends, stock splits, combinations or
reclassifications of our common stock or distributions of cash or other assets.
In addition, the Series F Warrants contain provisions protecting against
dilution resulting from the sale of additional shares of our common stock for
less than the exercise price of the Series F Warrants, or the market price
of
the common stock, on the date of such issuance or sale.
43
On
October 28, 2004, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, pursuant
to
which we sold and issued 2,740,476 shares of common stock, and series F common
stock purchase warrants to purchase our common stock to purchasers for an
aggregate purchase price of $2,877,500. The common stock shares were priced
at
$1.05. The common shares and the shares underlying the warrants were drawn-down
off of a shelf registration statement which was filed by us on May 5, 2004,
and
declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 10, 2004.
Net proceeds received after deducting expenses was approximately $2.65 million.
The
Series F Warrants are exercisable from April 25, 2005 until April 25, 2010
to
purchase up to 1,370,238 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.21
per share, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of specific events,
including stock dividends, stock splits, combinations or reclassifications
of
our common stock or distributions of cash or other assets. In addition, the
Series F Warrants contain provisions protecting against dilution resulting
from
the sale of additional shares of our common stock for less than the exercise
price of the Series F Warrants, or the market price of the common stock, on
the
date of such issuance or sale.
As
a
result of the above transaction, 1,213,352 outstanding Series A Common Stock
Purchase Warrants, that were issued to participants of the Securities Purchase
Agreement dated January 9, 2004, were re-priced from $1.74 to $1.05.
The
Company paid a Placement Agent $814,000, a fee equal to 6% of the gross proceeds
of these offerings.
In
addition, the Company engaged Larkspur Capital Corporation, a Related Party,
to
act as an adviser in connection with the sale of these securities. For such
services, the Company paid Larkspur Capital Corporation a fee of $136,500,
an
amount equal to 1% of the gross proceeds of these offerings and 93,255 warrants.
In
2004,
the Company received $5,173,945 for the exercise of 5,221,052 options and
3,533,348 warrants.
The
Company also issued 386,020 shares of common stock for the payment of $531,031
for services rendered and to be rendered in the future. The fair value of the
services was measured at market value of the common stock at the time of
payment. As such, the Company recorded the fair value of the services rendered
in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying audited
consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2004.
2003
In
April
of 2003, the Company converted a $1,000,000 loan plus interest to Travelers
in
common shares totaling 2,137,757 at a conversion price from the original
agreement of approximately $0.53 per share, based on the market value of our
common stock on the date the agreement was entered into (see Note 7).
The
Company also converted a $3,000,000 loan plus interest to SK Corporation in
common shares totaling 2,495,833 at a conversion price from the original
agreement of approximately $1.28 per share, based on the market value of our
common stock on the date the agreement was entered into (see Note 7).
In
September 2003, the Company converted two Series B Convertible Debentures in
the
amount of $121,739 each into 1,468,382 share of the Company's common stock
at a
conversion price from the original note purchase agreement of $0.18 per share.
This transaction included a write-down of the unamortized beneficial conversion
feature at the time of conversion.
In
2003,
the Company received approximately $1.1 million for the exercise of 1,479,900
warrants to purchase shares of common stock. The Company also issued 270,910
common shares in cashless exercises of warrants in exchange for 579,329 warrant
shares.
In
2003,
the Company negotiated settlements of amounts due and amounts for future
services, rendered via issuance of 656,435 shares of common stock. As such,
the
Company recorded the fair value of the services received and receivable in
the
future of $561,958 in selling, general and administrative expenses, prepaid
expenses and reduction of accounts payable.
During
2003, the Company received $280,046 for the exercise of options to purchase
846,793 shares of common stock.
The
Company's April 25, 2003 Registration Rights Agreement, which was entered into
in connection with the Company's April 2003 financing, required the Company
to
file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission no
later than 30 calendar days after the closing of the April 2003 financing.
The
Company was not able to file the registration statement within the required
period and caused a default under the Registration Rights Agreement. As a result
of this default, the Company was required to issue an additional 486,582 common
shares for penalties and interest pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement.
For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company recorded a charge to earnings
of $735,324 for the penalties and interest. The Company filed its registration
statement in July of 2003.
44
In
connection with the April 2003 financing, eMagin issued 387,496 warrants for
expenses related to the offering. These warrants were issued to Larkspur Capital
Corporation, a company in which one of the Company's directors is the managing
director.
Note
10 - STOCK COMPENSATION
Employee
stock purchase plan
In
2005,
the stockholders approved the 2005 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”). The
ESPP provides the Company’s employees with the opportunity to purchase common
stock through payroll deductions. Employees purchase stock semi-annually at
a
price that is 85% of the fair market value at certain plan-defined dates. At
December 31, 2005, the number of shares of common stock available for issuance
was 750,000 and the plan will automatically increase 750,000 shares on January
1
of each year for a period of three years starting January 1, 2006. As of
December 31, 2005, the plan had not been implemented.
Incentive
compensation plans
In
1994,
the Company established the 1994 Stock Plan (the "1994 Plan"), which has been
assumed by eMagin. The plan provided for the granting of options to purchase
an
aggregate of 1,286,000 shares of the common stock to employees and consultants
of FED. This Plan expired in 2004.
In
2000,
the Company established the 2000 Stock Option Plan (the "2000 Plan"). The Plan
permits the granting of options and stock purchase rights to employees and
consultants of the Company. The 2000 Plan allows for the grant of incentive
stock options meeting the requirements of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986 (the "Code") or non-qualified stock options which are not intended
to meet such requirements.
In
2003,
eMagin established the 2003 Stock Option Plan (the "2003 Plan"). The 2003 Plan
provided for the granting of options to purchase an aggregate of 9,200,000
shares of the common stock to employees and consultants. On July 2, 2003, the
shareholders approved the plan and the 2003 Plan was subsequently amended by
the
Board of Directors on July 2, 2003 to reduce the number of additional shares
that may be provided for issuance under the "evergreen" provisions of the 2003
Plan. The amended 2003 Plan provides for an increase of 2,000,000 shares in
January 2004 and an annual increase on January 1 of each year for a period
of
nine (9) years commencing on January 1, 2005 of 3% of the diluted shares
outstanding. The shareholders approved an amendment to the 2003 Plan to provide
grants of shares of common stock in addition to options to purchase shares
of
common stock. In 2005, approximately 2.4 million shares were added to the plan.
Vesting
terms of the options range from immediate vesting to a ratable vesting period
of
5 years. Option activity for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003

based compensation
Non-cash
stock-based compensation expense represents expenses associated with stock
option grants to the Company's officers and employees at below fair market
value
as additional compensation for their services and to induce them to lock-up
their options for a longer time than would normally be specified under the
Company's standard option grant. Deferred compensation is amortized over the
remaining vesting period of the underlying options.

Note
11 - RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In
November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, "Inventory Costs -An amendment
of
ARB No. 43, Chapter 4" which clarifies the accounting for abnormal amounts
of
idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage).
This Statement requires that those items be recognized as current-period charges
regardless of whether they meet the criterion of "so abnormal". In addition,
this statement requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the
costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production
facilities. SFAS no. 151 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June
15,
2005 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the
requirements and impact of SFAS No. 151, but at this point does not believe
the
adoption will have a material impact on its financial position, cash flows
or
results of operations.
FASB
Statement 123R (Revision 2004), "Share-Based Payment", was issued in December
2004 and is effective for public entities as of the first interim or annual
reporting period that begins after December 31, 2005. The new statement requires
all share-based payments to employees to be recognized in the financial
statements based on their fair values. The Company currently accounts for its
share-based payments to employees under the intrinsic value method of accounting
set forth in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock
Issues to Employees". Additionally, the company complies with the stock-based
employer compensation disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 148, "Accounting
for
Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB
Statement No. 123".
46
Under
SFAS 123R, the pro forma disclosures previously permitted no longer will be
an alternative to financial statement recognition. The Company will apply the
Black-Scholes valuation model in determining the fair value of share-based
payments to employees, which will then be amortized on a straight-line basis
over the requisite service period. The Company will apply the modified
prospective method, which requires that compensation expense be recorded for
all
unvested stock options and restricted stock upon adoption of SFAS 123R. The
Company is evaluating the requirements of SFAS 123R and expects that the
adoption of SFAS 123R for the quarter ending March 31, 2006 will have a material
impact on its financial statements and result of operations.
In
May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, "Accounting Changes and Error
Corrections" ("SFAS 154"), which replaces APB Opinion No. 20
"Accounting Changes" and SFAS No. 3, "Reporting Accounting Changes in
Interim Financial Statements—An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 28."
SFAS 154 provides guidance on the accounting for and reporting of
accounting changes and error corrections. It establishes retrospective
application, or the latest practicable date, as the required method for
reporting a change in accounting principle and the reporting of a correction
of
an error. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of
errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company
is currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of SFAS 154 will have
on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition but does
not
expect it to have a material impact.
Note
12 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Royalties
The
Company, in accordance with a royalty agreement, is obligated to make minimum
annual royalty payments to a corporation commencing January 1, 2001. The
original minimum annual royalty due under this agreement was $31,500 per year
and it increased to a $125,000 in 2005 and beyond. Under this agreement, the
Company must pay a certain percentage of net sales of certain products, which
percentages are defined in the agreement. The percentages are on a sliding
scale
depending on the amount of sales generated. Any minimum royalties paid may
be
credited against the amounts due based on the percentage of sales. The royalty
agreement terminates upon the expiration of the last-to-expire issued patent.
For
the
years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, royalty expense of approximately
$191,000, $194,000 and $115,000, respectively, is included in cost of goods
sold.

Committee.

Committee is unrelated, an outside member with no other affiliation with us
and
is independent as defined by the American Stock Exchange. The Board has
determined that Mr. Engelman is an “audit committee financial expert” as defined
by the SEC. During 2005, the Audit Committee held
5
meetings.
Compensation
Committee.
The
Compensation Committee determines matters pertaining to the compensation and
expense reporting of certain of our executive officers, and administers our
stock option, incentive compensation, and employee stock purchase plans. During
2005, the Compensation Committee held 2 meetings.
Governance
and Nominating Committee.
The
Governance and Nominating Committee is responsible for nominating directors
and
for all other purposes outlined in the Governance and Nominating Committee
Charter. The
Board
has determined that each of the members of the Governance
and Nominating Committee
is unrelated, an outside member with no other affiliation with us and is
independent as defined by the American Stock Exchange. During 2005, the
Governance and Nominating Committee held 3 meetings.
Nomination
of Directors
As
provided in its charter and our company’s corporate governance principles, the
Governance and Nominating Committee is responsible for identifying individuals
qualified to become directors. The Governance and Nominating Committee seeks
to
identify director candidates based on input provided by a number of sources,
including (1) the Governance and Nominating Committee members, (2) our other
directors, (3) our stockholders, (4) our Chief Executive Officer or Chairman,
and (5) third parties such as professional search firms. In evaluating potential
candidates for director, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
considers the entirety of each candidate’s credentials.
Qualifications
for consideration as a director nominee may vary according to the particular
areas of expertise being sought as a complement to the existing composition
of
the Board of Directors. However, at a minimum, candidates for director must
possess:
•
|
high
personal and professional ethics and integrity;
|
•
|
the
ability to exercise sound judgment;
|
•
|
the
ability to make independent analytical inquiries;
|
•
|
a
willingness and ability to devote adequate time and resources to
diligently perform Board and committee duties; and
|
•
|
the
appropriate and relevant business experience and acumen.
|
53
In
addition to these minimum qualifications, the Governance and Nominating
Committee also takes into account when considering whether to nominate a
potential director candidate the following factors:
•
|
whether
the person possesses specific industry expertise and familiarity
with
general issues affecting our business;
|
•
|
whether
the person’s nomination and election would enable the Board to have a
member that qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as such
term is defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in
Item 401 of Regulation S-K;
|
•
|
whether
the person would qualify as an “independent” director under the listing
standards of the American Stock Exchange;
|
•
|
the
importance of continuity of the existing composition of the Board
of
Directors to provide long term stability and experienced oversight;
and
|
•
|
the
importance of diversified Board membership, in terms of both the
individuals involved and their various experiences and areas of expertise.

Compliance
with Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m) disallows a tax deduction to publicly
held companies for compensation paid to certain of their executive officers
to
the extent that such compensation exceeds $1.0 million per covered officer
in
any fiscal year. The limitation applies only to compensation that is not
qualified performance based compensation under the IRS code.
On
January 24, 2006, pursuant to actions taken by the Compensation Committee of
our
Board of Directors, Mr. Gary W. Jones entered into a revised executive
employment agreement, to conform to the recently established Sarbanes-Oxley
requirements, in connection with his service as Chief Executive Officer and
President of the Company. Mr. Jones also serves as Chairman of the Company.
Additionally, Ms. Susan K. Jones entered into a revised executive employment
agreement, to conform to the recently established Sarbanes-Oxley requirements,
in connection with her service as the Company’s Chief Marketing and Strategy
Officer, Executive Vice President and Corporate Secretary.
Each
agreement is effective for an initial term of three years, effective January
1,
2006. The agreements provides for an annual salary, benefits made available
by
the Company to its employees and eligibility for an incentive bonus pursuant
to
one or more incentive compensation plans established by the Company from time
to
time. The Company may terminate the employment of Mr. Jones and Mrs. Jones
at
any time with or without notice and with or without cause (as such term is
defined in the agreements). If the Mr. Jones’ and Mrs. Jones’ employment is
terminated without cause, or if Mr. Jones and Mrs. Jones resign with good reason
(as such term is defined in the agreements), or if Mr. Jones’ and Mrs. Jones’
respective positions are terminated or significantly changed as result of change
of control (as such term is defined in the agreements), Mr. Jones and Mrs.
Jones
shall be entitled to receive salary until the end of the agreement’s full term
or twelve months, whichever is greater, payment for accrued vacation, and
bonuses which would have been accrued during the term of the agreements. If
Mr.
Jones and Mrs. Jones voluntarily terminates employment with the Company, other
than for good reason or is terminated with cause (as such term is defined in
the
agreement), Mr. Jones and Mrs. Jones shall cease to accrue salary, vacation,
benefits, and other compensation on the date of the voluntary or with cause
termination. The Executive Employment Agreements include other conventional
terms and also contains invention assignment, non-competition, non-solicitation
and non-disclosure provisions.
On
April
17, 2006, the parties entered into amendments to the employment agreements
pursuant to which the parties clarified that the
Company has agreed to pay for health benefits equivalent to medical and dental
benefits provided during the executive’s full time employment until the end of
the agreement’s full term or twenty-four (24) months, whichever is
greater.
Our
2005 Employee Stock Purchase Plan
At
our
2005 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Company's stockholders approved the
2005 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The
purpose of the 2005
Employee Stock Purchase Plan is
to
give employees of eMagin and its participating subsidiary an opportunity to
purchase common stock on favorable terms through payroll deductions thereby
increasing their proprietary interest in the success of eMagin. The number
of
shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2005
Employee Stock Purchase Plan is
750,000 shares, subject to adjustment for certain changes in eMagin's capital,
as described below. This number of shares available under the plan will be
automatically increased on each of January 1, 2006, January 1, 2007, and January
1, 2008, by 750,000 shares. The 2005
Employee Stock Purchase Plan is
intended to qualify as an employee stock purchase plan under Section 423 of
the
Code so that eMagin's participating employees may enjoy certain tax advantages,
as described below. The 2005
Employee Stock Purchase Plan will
be
administered by the Compensation Committee. As of December 31, 2005 Employee
Stock Purchase Plan was not implemented.
In
general, any person who has been an employee prior to a given offering period
(generally each February 15 and August 15) who is scheduled to work more than
five months per calendar year and more than 20 hours per week on a regular
basis
is eligible to participate in the 2005 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Common
stock will be purchased for each participant in the 2005 Employee Stock Purchase
Plan as of the last day of each accumulation period (generally August 14 and
February 14) within an offering period with the money deducted from their
paychecks during the accumulation period. Offering periods under the 2005
Employee Stock Purchase Plan will begin on February 15 and August 15 of each
calendar year while the 2005 Employee Stock Purchase Plan is in effect, and
each
offering period is 24 months in length, unless the Compensation Committee
determines otherwise. The purchase price per share of common stock will be
the
lesser of (a) 85% of the fair market value (i.e. the last transaction or closing
price, as applicable) of a share of common stock on the last trading day of
the
accumulation period or (b) 85% of the fair market value of a share of common
stock on the last trading day prior to the beginning of the Offering Period.
56
A
participant may elect to have payroll deductions made under the 2005 Employee
Stock Purchase Plan for the purchase of common stock in an amount not to exceed
15% of the participant's compensation.
Compensation
for purposes of the 2005 Employee Stock Purchase Plan generally means total
cash
compensation, inclusive of overtime, bonuses, or shift premiums or, plus the
participants pre-tax contributions under any Internal Revenue Code Section
401(k) or 125 plan of the company or its subsidiaries. Contributions to the
2005
Employee Stock Purchase Plan will be on an after-tax basis. A participant may
terminate his or her payroll deductions at any time.
A
stock
purchase bookkeeping account will be established for each participant in the
2005 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Amounts deducted from participants' paychecks
will be credited to their bookkeeping accounts. No interest will accrue with
respect to any amounts credited to the bookkeeping accounts. As of the last
day
of each Accumulation Period, the amount credited to a participant's stock
purchase account will be used to purchase the largest number of whole shares
of
common stock possible at the price determined as described above. In general,
however, a participant will not be permitted to purchase in any calendar year
under the 2005 Employee Stock Purchase Plan common stock with a fair market
value in excess of $25,000, determined as of the beginning of the applicable
offering period. Participants also will not be permitted to purchase more than
25,000 shares of common stock during any accumulation period. The common stock
will be purchased directly from eMagin. No brokerage or other fees will be
charged to participants. Any balance remaining in the participant's account
will
be returned to the participant; however, any excess balance attributable to
the
inability to purchase a fractional share will be retained in the participant's
account for subsequent purchases under the 2005 Employee Stock Purchase Plan
or
may be withdrawn by the participant.
A
participant may withdraw from participation in the 2005 Employee Stock Purchase
Plan at any time during an offering period by written notice to eMagin. Upon
withdrawal, a participant's bookkeeping account balance will be distributed
in
cash as soon as practicable and no shares of common stock will be purchased
during the accumulation period. If a participant terminates employment with
eMagin, that participant will be considered withdrawn from the plan. Rights
to
purchase shares of common stock under the 2005 Employee Stock Purchase Plan
are
exercisable only by the participant and are not transferable.
In
the
event of certain changes in number of outstanding shares of the common stock,
such as a stock dividend or other change in the number of shares effected
without receipt or payment of consideration by eMagin, the aggregate number
of
shares of common stock offered under the 2005 Employee Stock Purchase Plan,
the
25,000 share limit on shares that can be purchased by a single participant
during any accumulation period and the price of shares under any outstanding
participant elections will be proportionately adjusted by the Compensation
Committee. Immediately prior to a corporate reorganization, as defined in the
2005 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, the offering period and accumulation period
then in progress will terminate, and shares will be purchased using amounts
then
outstanding in the participants' bookkeeping accounts under the 2005 Employee
Stock Purchase Plan, unless the 2005 Employee Stock Purchase Plan is assumed
or
continued by the surviving corporation or its parent corporation.
The
Board
of Directors of eMagin may amend, suspend, or terminate the 2005 Employee Stock
Purchase Plan at any time, except that certain amendments may be made only
with
the approval of the stockholders of eMagin.
New
plan benefits
Participation
in the 2005 Employee Stock Purchase Plan is voluntary. Accordingly, at this
time
eMagin cannot determine the amount of shares of common stock that will be
acquired by participants or the dollar value of any such participation. As
of
March 17, 2006 there are approximately 98 employees (representing all of the
employees of the Company and its subsidiaries) who would be eligible to
participate in the 2005 Employee Stock Purchase Plan if the plan had been in
effect on that date.
Our
2004 Non-Employee Compensation Plan
The
purpose of the 2004 Non-Employee Compensation Plan is to help us retain
consultants, professionals, and service providers who provide services to the
Company in connection with, among other things, the Company's obligations as
a
publicly-held reporting company. In addition, we expect to benefit from the
added interest that the awardees will have in our welfare as a result of their
ownership or increased ownership of our common stock. The Board of Directors
will select who will receive awards and the amount and nature of such
awards.
Over
the
last two years, we have been able to engage consultants, professionals, and
service providers by compensating them through the issuance of shares of our
common stock. This afforded us the ability to utilize our cash, at a time when
we were seeking out financing and working with our creditors with respect to
restructuring outstanding obligations, for the more immediate needs that we
had
related to the acquisition of the products and inventory needed to further
our
manufacturing process so as to be able to deliver finished goods to our
customers pursuant to outstanding orders. As we continue to have a significant
backlog of orders, we believe that, for the foreseeable future, it is in our
best interests to be able to continue to engage and compensate such persons
through the payment of our shares of common stock. In addition, Section 711
of
the AMEX Company Guide, which was amended in October 2003, now requires that
such compensation arrangements be approved by the Company's shareholders.
57
Awards
authorized under the 2004 Non-Employee Compensation Plan shall consist of shares
of our common stock. Such awards may be subject to forfeiture in the event
of
premature termination of engagement, failure to meet certain performance
objectives, or other conditions, as may be determined by the Board of Directors.
The
2004
Non-Employee Compensation Plan is administered by the Board of Directors
(provided however, that the Board may delegate such administration to the
Compensation Committee). Subject to the express terms and conditions of the
2004
Non-Employee Compensation Plan, the Board of Directors has full power to make
Awards, to construe or interpret the 2004 Non-Employee Compensation Plan, to
prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to it and to make
all other determinations necessary or advisable for its administration. Except
as otherwise provided in the 2004 Non-Employee Compensation Plan, the Board
of
Directors may also determine which persons shall be granted Awards, the nature
of the Awards granted, the number of shares subject to Awards and the time
at
which Awards shall be made. Such determinations will be final and binding.
The
only
class of stock subject to an Award is Common Stock. At our 2005 Annual Meeting
of Stockholders, the Company's stockholders approved an amendment to the 2004
Non-Employee Compensation Plan to approve an increase in the number of
authorized shares of common stock issuable pursuant to the 2004 Non-Employee
Compensation Plan from 1,000,000 to 2,000,000 shares; however, this number
is
subject to adjustment in the event of a recapitalization, reorganization or
similar event. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock with respect to
which Awards may be granted to any participant in any year under the 2004
Non-Employee Compensation Plan is 500,000 shares.
Shares
shall consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued shares or
treasury shares. Any shares represented by Awards that are cancelled, forfeited,
terminated or expired will again be available for grants and issuance under
the
2004 Non-Employee Compensation Plan.
In
the
event that our outstanding shares of Common Stock are increased, decreased
or
changed or converted into other securities by reason of merger, reorganization,
consolidation, recapitalization, stock dividend, extraordinary cash dividend
or
other change in our corporate structure affecting the stock, the number of
shares that may be delivered under the 2004 Non-Employee Compensation Plan
and
the number and/or the purchase price of shares subject to outstanding Awards
under the 2004 Non-Employee Compensation Plan may be adjusted at the sole
discretion of the Board of Directors to the extent that the Board of Directors
determines to be appropriate, provided, however, that the number of shares
subject to any Awards will always be a whole number.
The
2004
Non-Employee Compensation Plan will expire on May 17, 2014, but the Board of
Directors may terminate the 2004 Non-Employee Compensation Plan at any time
prior to that date and Awards granted prior to such termination may extend
beyond such date. Termination of the 2004 Non-Employee Compensation Plan will
not alter or impair, without the consent of the Awardee, any of the rights
or
obligations of any Award made under the 2004 Non-Employee Compensation Plan.
The
Board
may from time to time alter, amend, suspend or discontinue the 2004 Non-Employee
Compensation Plan. However, no such action of the Board may alter the provisions
of the 2004 Non-Employee Compensation Plan so as to alter any outstanding Awards
to the detriment of the Awardee or participant without such participant's or
Awardees consent, and no amendment to the 2004 Non-Employee Compensation Plan
may be made without stockholder approval if such amendment would materially
increase the benefits to the Awardees or the participants in the 2004
Non-Employee Compensation Plan, materially increase the number of shares
issuable under the 2004 Non-Employee Compensation Plan, extend the terms of
the
2004 Non-Employee Compensation Plan or the period during which Awards may be
granted or exercised or materially modify requirements as to eligibility to
participate in the 2004 Non-Employee Compensation Plan.
Grant.
The
Board of Directors may, at its discretion, award shares of common stock to
a
recipient (the "Stock Awards"). The Stock Awards will be issued pursuant to
an
agreement between the Company and the Awardee. Each recipient of a Stock Award
will be a stockholder and have all the rights of a stockholder with respect
to
such shares, including the right to vote and receive all dividends or other
distributions made or paid with respect to such shares.
If
the
recipient of an Award ceases to be a consultant, professional or service
provider for any reason, then the Award may be subject to forfeiture, as
provided in the particular agreement, unless such forfeiture is waived by the
Board of Directors when it, in its discretion, determines that such waiver
is in
our best interests.
In
the
event of a participant's retirement, permanent disability or death, or in cases
of special circumstances, the Board of Directors may waive any or all of the
remaining restrictions and limitations imposed under the 2004 Non-Employee
Compensation Plan with respect to any Awards.
58
Restrictions
on Transferability.
These
Shares of stock may not be sold, exchanged, transferred, pledged, hypothecated,
or otherwise disposed of until such time as any stated restrictions lapse.
The
Board of Directors, in its absolute discretion, may impose such restrictions
on
the transferability of the Awards granted in this 2004 Non-Employee Compensation
Plan as it deems appropriate. Any such restrictions shall be set forth in the
Agreement with respect to such Awards and may be referred to on the certificates
evidencing shares issued pursuant to any such Award. Shares of restricted stock
will be evidenced by a certificate that bears a restrictive legend.
Our
2003 Employee Stock Option Plan
At
our
2005 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Company's stockholders approved an
amendment to the 2003 Employee Stock Option Plan to provide for grants of shares
of common stock in addition to options to purchase shares of common
stock.
The
primary purpose of the 2003 Option Plan is to attract and retain the best
available personnel for the Company in order to promote the success of the
Company's business and to facilitate the ownership of the Company's stock by
employees. The 2003 Option Plan and the right of participants to make purchases
thereunder are intended to qualify as an "employee stock purchase plan" under
Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").
The
2003 Option Plan is not a qualified deferred compensation plan under Section
401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code and is not subject to the provisions of
the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.
We
have
reserved a total of 9,200,000 shares of our common stock for issuance under
the
2003 Option Plan. On January 1, 2004, the share reserve was automatically
increased by 2,000,000 shares. On January 1 of each year for a period of nine
(9) years, commencing on January 1, 2005, the aggregate number of shares of
Common Stock that is available for issuance under the 2003 Option Plan shall
automatically be increased by three percent (3%) of the diluted shares
outstanding; provided, however, that the Board, from time to time, may provide
for a lesser increase in the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that
is
available for issuance under the Plan.
However,
the automatic increase is subject to reduction by the board. If the recipient
of
an option grant or stock award does not purchase the shares subject to the
option grant or stock award before it expires or terminates, the shares that
are
not purchased again become available for issuance under the 2003 Option
Plan.
The
2003
Option Plan is administered by the Company's Board of Directors as the Board
of
Directors may be composed from time to time. The Board determines all questions
of interpretation of the 2003 Option Plan, and its decisions are final and
binding upon all participants. Any determination by a majority of the members
of
the Board of Directors at any meeting, or by written consent in lieu of a
meeting, shall be deemed to have been made by the whole Board of Directors.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Board of Directors may at any time, or from time to time,
appoint a committee (the "Committee") of at least three members of the Board
of
Directors, and delegate to the Committee the authority of the Board of Directors
to administer the Plan. Upon such appointment and delegation, the Committee
shall have all the powers, privileges and duties of the Board of Directors,
and
shall be substituted for the Board of Directors, in the administration of the
Plan, subject to certain limitations.
Members
of the Board of Directors who are eligible employees are permitted to
participate in the 2003 Option Plan, provided that any such eligible member
may
not vote on any matter affecting the administration of the 2003 Option Plan
or
the grant of any option or stock award pursuant to it, or serve on a committee
appointed to administer the 2003 Option Plan. In the event that any member
of
the Board of Directors is at any time not a "disinterested person", as defined
in Rule 16b-3(c) (3) (i) promulgated pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act
of
1934, the Plan shall not be administered by the Board of Directors, and may
only
by administered by a Committee, all the members of which are disinterested
persons, as so defined.
Under
the
2003 Option Plan, options and/or stock awards may be granted to key employees,
officers, directors or consultants of the Company, as provided in the 2003
Option Plan (in the case of a grant of options, the participant is referred
to
herein as an “Optionee” and in the case of a grant of a stock award, the
participant is referred to herein as a “Grantee”).
The
term
of each Option or stock award granted under the Plan shall be contained in
a
stock option or stock award agreement between the Optionee or Grantee and the
Company and such terms shall be determined by the Board of Directors consistent
with the provisions of the Plan, including the following:
(a) Purchase
Price.
The
purchase price of the Common Shares subject to each ISO shall not be less than
the fair market value (as set forth in the 2003 Option Plan), or in the case
of
the grant of an ISO to a Principal Stockholder, not less that 100% of fair
market value of such Common Shares at the time such Option is granted. The
purchase price of the Common Shares subject to each Non-ISO shall be determined
at the time such Option is granted, but in no case less than 85% of the fair
market value of such Common Shares at the time such Option is granted.
59
(b) Vesting.
The
dates on which each Option or stock award (or portion thereof) shall be
exercisable or shall vest and the conditions precedent to such exercise or
vesting, if any, shall be fixed by the Board of Directors, in its discretion,
at
the time such Option or stock award is granted.
(c) Expiration.
The
Board of Directors, in its discretion, shall fix the expiration of each Option
or stock award, at the time such Option or stock award is granted; however,
unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors at the time such Option
or
stock award is granted, an Option or stock award shall be exercisable for ten
(10) years after the date on which it was granted (the "Grant Date"). Each
Option or stock award shall be subject to earlier termination as expressly
provided in the 2003 Option Plan or as determined by the Board of Directors,
in
its discretion, at the time such Option or stock award is granted.
(d) Transferability.
No
Option or stock award shall be transferable, except by will or the laws of
descent and distribution, and any Option or stock award may be exercised during
the lifetime of the Optionee or Grantee only by him. No Option or stock award
granted under the Plan shall be subject to execution, attachment or other
process.
(e) Option
Adjustments.
The
aggregate number and class of shares as to which Options or stock award may
be
granted under the 2003 Option Plan, the number and class shares covered by
each
outstanding Option or stock award and the exercise price or purchase per share
thereof (but not the total price), and all such Options or stock awards, shall
each be proportionately adjusted for any increase decrease in the number of
issued Common Stock resulting from split-up spin-off or consolidation of shares,
additional issuance of shares, or any like capital adjustment or the payment
of
any stock dividend. The total number of shares approved in the 2003 Option
Plan
would not decrease as a result of the exercising of options or the purchase
of
common stock pursuant to a stock award.
Except
as
otherwise provided in the 2003 Option Plan, any Option or stock award granted
shall terminate in the event of a merger, consolidation, acquisition of property
or stock, separation, reorganization or liquidation of the Company. However,
the
Optionee or Grantee shall have the right immediately prior to any such
transaction to exercise his Option or purchase shares of common stock in whole
or in part notwithstanding any otherwise applicable vesting requirements.
(f) Termination,
Modification and Amendment.
The
2003 Option Plan (but not Options or stock awards previously granted under
the
Plan) shall terminate ten (10) years from the earlier of the date of its
adoption by the Board of Directors or the date on which the Plan is approved
by
the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares
of
capital stock of the Company entitled to vote thereon, and no Option or stock
award shall be granted after termination of the Plan. Subject to certain
restrictions, the Plan may at any time be terminated and from time to time
be
modified or amended by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of
the
outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Company present, or represented,
and entitled to vote at a meeting duly held in accordance with the applicable
laws of the State of Delaware.

power with respect to securities. Shares of common stock subject to options

On

certain qualified institutional buyers and accredited investors an aggregate
of
16,619,056 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and warrants
to purchase an additional 9,971,427 shares of common stock, for an aggregate
purchase price of approximately $9.14 million. The purchase price of the common
stock and corresponding warrant was $0.55 per share.
The
warrants are exercisable at a price of $1.00 per share and expire on October
20,
2010. Of the 9,971,427 warrants, 6,647,623 of the warrants are exercisable
on or
after May 20, 2006. The remaining 3,323,810 are exercisable after March 31,
2007, however these warrants will be cancelled if the Company’s net revenue for
fiscal year 2006 exceeds $20 million or if the investor has sold more than
25%
of the shares purchased under the Securities Purchase Agreement prior to
December 31, 2006.
Both
Stillwater and Ginola are beneficial owners of more than 5% of the Company’s
common stock.
Rainbow
Gate Corporation, a corporation in which its investment manager is the sole
member of Stillwater LLC and its controlling shareholder is the same as Ginola
Limited, participated in the sale of equity pursuant to the Securities Purchase
Agreement by investing approximately $500 thousand. Stillwater LLC disclaims
beneficial ownership of shares owned by Rainbow Gate Corporation.
Chelsea
Trust Company, as trustee of a trust with the same directors and/or controlling
shareholders as Ginola Limited, participated in the sale of equity pursuant
to
the Securities Purchase Agreement by investing approximately $250 thousand.
Ginola Limited disclaims beneficial ownership of shares owned by Chelsea Trust
Company.
In
connection with the issuance of the Shares and the warrants pursuant to the
Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company was required to lower the exercise
prices of existing Series A and F warrants from $1.05 and $1.21, respectively,
to $.55 and $1.09 per share, respectively, pursuant to the anti-dilution
provisions of the Series A and F warrants.
Mary
Cronson, the mother of an outside director of eMagin, Paul Cronson, is the
holder of a Series A warrant to purchase an aggregate of 42,857 shares of common
stock. Accordingly, the exercise price of Mrs. Cronson’s Series A warrant was
reduced from $1.05 to $0.55 per share. Mrs. Cronson received the same
considerations as all other holders of the Company’s Series A warrants which
were re-priced.
On
January 24, 2006, pursuant to actions taken by the Compensation Committee of
our
Board of Directors, Mr. Gary W. Jones entered into a revised executive
employment agreement, to conform to the recently established Sarbanes-Oxley
requirements, in connection with his service as Chief Executive Officer and
President of the Company. Mr. Jones also serves as Chairman of the Company.
Additionally, Ms. Susan K. Jones entered into a revised executive employment
agreement, to conform to the recently established Sarbanes-Oxley requirements,
in connection with her service as the Company’s Chief Marketing and Strategy
Officer, Executive Vice President and Corporate Secretary.
62
Each
agreement is effective for an initial term of three years, effective January
1,
2006. The agreements provides for an annual salary, benefits made available
by
the Company to its employees and eligibility for an incentive bonus pursuant
to
one or more incentive compensation plans established by the Company from time
to
time. The Company may terminate the employment of Mr. Jones and Mrs. Jones
at
any time with or without notice and with or without cause (as such term is
defined in the agreements). If the Mr. Jones’ and Mrs. Jones’ employment is
terminated without cause, or if Mr. Jones and Mrs. Jones resign with good reason
(as such term is defined in the agreements), or if Mr. Jones’ and Mrs. Jones’
respective positions are terminated or significantly changed as result of change
of control (as such term is defined in the agreements), Mr. Jones and Mrs.
Jones
shall be entitled to receive salary until the end of the agreement’s full term
or twelve months, whichever is greater, payment for accrued vacation, and
bonuses which would have been accrued during the term of the agreements. If
Mr.
Jones and Mrs. Jones voluntarily terminates employment with the Company, other
than for good reason or is terminated with cause (as such term is defined in
the
agreement), Mr. Jones and Mrs. Jones shall cease to accrue salary, vacation,
benefits, and other compensation on the date of the voluntary or with cause
termination. The Executive Employment Agreements include other conventional
terms and also contains invention assignment, non-competition, non-solicitation
and non-disclosure provisions.
