ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis
of
Presentation
In
the
opinion
of management, the accompanying unaudited interim financial
information reflects all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring
accruals, necessary for a fair presentation. Certain information
and
footnote disclosure normally included in financial statements prepared
in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in
the
United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant
to
instructions, rules and regulations prescribed by
the
Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company believes
that
the disclosures provided herein are adequate to make
the information presented not misleading when these unaudited
interim
condensed consolidated financial statements are read in conjunction
with
the audited consolidated financial statements contained in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-KSB/A for the year ended December 31,
2004. The results of operations for the period ended
September 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected
for the full year.
Stock-Based
Compensation
The
Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion
No. 25
("APB No. 25"), "Accounting for Stock Issued
to Employees,” and related interpretations in accounting for its
employee stock options. 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 loss per share as if the Company had applied the fair value
recognition provisions 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 the third
quarter of
2005 and 2004, respectively: (1) average expected volatility of 52%
and
99%, (2) average risk-free interest rates of 4.39% and
3.79%, and
(3) expected lives of ten and seven years.
The
pro
forma amounts that are disclosed in accordance with SFAS No. 123 reflect the
portion of the estimated fair value of awards that were earned for the three
and
nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 (in thousands except per share
data).

In
March
2005, the Company granted 1,100,000 stock options to certain officers and
employees of the Company. The exercise price of these options was equal
to
the market price of the stock on the date of grant. The options vest
over
five years unless there is a change in control or a dismissal without cause
in
which case the options would vest immediately.

Note
3 -
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 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.
Note
4 -
RECEIVABLES
The
majority of our commercial accounts receivable are
due
from Original Equipment Manufacturers ("OEM"s). Credit
is
extended based on an 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 and sales returns.
Any
account outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms is considered
past due. The Company determines the allowance for doubtful accounts
by considering a number of factors, including the length of time
the
trade accounts receivable are past due, eMagin's previous loss history,
the
customer's current ability to pay its obligation, and the condition
of
the general economy and the industry as a whole.
The Company writes off accounts receivable when
they
become uncollectable, and payments subsequently received on
such receivables are reported as income in the year the payment
is
received.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS

Note
6 -
NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
In
accordance with SFAS No. 128, net loss per common share amounts ("basic EPS")
was computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding and excluding any
potential dilution. Net loss per common share assuming dilution
("diluted EPS") was computed by reflecting potential dilution from
the
exercise of stock options and warrants. Common equivalent
shares totaling 2,233,511 and 3,305,274 have been excluded from the computation
of diluted EPS for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively, and 11,366,619 and
32,828,735 have been excluded from the computation of diluted EPS
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004,
respectively, because their effect would be antidilutive.
Note

INVENTORIES
Inventory
is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in
first-out method. The Company reviews the value of its inventory
and
reduces the inventory value to its net realizable value based upon current
market prices and contracts for future sales. The components of inventories

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
[a]
Royalty payments:
The Company, in accordance with
a royalty agreement, with Eastman Kodak is obligated to
make
minimum annual royalty payments of $125,000 which commenced on January
1,
2001. Under this agreement, the Company must pay to Eastman Kodak
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 will
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.
In
April
2005, the Company paid $125,000 for the minimum amount due for 2005. The amount
was recorded in prepaid expenses and will be amortized as the
Company records the royalty expense as defined in the agreement. Royalty
expense was $64,872 and $129,659, respectively, for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2005 as compared to $58,150 and $144,781, respectively,
for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004.
[b]
Contractual obligations:
The Company leases
certain office facilities and office, lab and factory
equipment under operating leases expiring through 2009. Certain leases
provide for payments of monthly operating expenses. The approximate minimum
lease payments for the remainder of 2005 are approximately $338,608. Subsequent
to 2005 the obligations total approximately $5,053,000.
We
currently lease space from IBM for approximately $74,000
per month that houses our own equipment for OLED microdisplay fabrication
and for research and development plus additional space for assembly
and administrative offices. In 2004 we entered into an
amended
lease agreement which extends the term of this lease to May 31, 2009.
In
July
2005, we finalized a sub-lease agreement for approximately 18,961 square feet
in
Bellevue Washington. The lease was effective September 1, 2005, expires on
August 31, 2009 and is used by the Company for general office purposes
(including incidental light assembly of electronic equipment). The Company’s
lease at its current Redmond location expired in August and will not be renewed.

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.
We
commenced limited initial sales of our SVGA+ microdisplay in May 2001
and
commenced shipping samples of our SVGA-3D microdisplay in February 2002.
Through inception, as of September 30, 2005, we have recognized
an aggregate of approximately $10.3 million from sales of our
products, and have a backlog of more than $28 million in
products ordered for delivery through 2007. 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. 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 Bellevue, Washington we are also
developing personal near-eye display systems and modules 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
are
currently the only company to demonstrate publicly and market full-color
OLED-on-silicon microdisplays.
Company
History
From
inception through January 1, 2003, we were a developmental 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. Most of
our operating expenses are fixed in the near term.
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.
Revenue
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 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.
We defer revenue 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.
10
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.
Use
of estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles 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
The
Company'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
THREE
AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 COMPARED TO THREE AND NINE MONTHS
ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 2004
Revenues
Revenues
for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 were
approximately $1.1 million. Revenues for the nine months ended
September 30, 2005 were approximately $2.5 million as compared
to $3.1
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, a decrease of 20%. The
decrease in revenue during the first half of 2005 resulted from a shortage
of
displays available for sale due to manufacturing plant conversions and equipment
maintenance issues which were alleviated during the first half of the year.
Assuming consistent availability of product we anticipate that revenue will
increase over the next several quarters.
Cost
of Goods Sold
Cost
of
goods sold includes direct and indirect costs associated with
production. Cost of goods sold for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2005 were approximately $2.7 million and $7.0 million,
respectively, as compared to $1.6 million and $4.5 million for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2004, an increase of $1.1 million and $2.5
million, respectively. The gross losses for the three and nine
months
ended September 30, 2005 were ($1.6) million and ($4.6) million,
respectively, as compared to ($0.5) million and ($1.4)
million,
respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004.
This
translates to a Gross Margin of (137%) and (184%) for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2005 as compared to a Gross Margin of (48%) and (47%) for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively.
The
increased cost of goods sold is directly attributable to our preparation for
increased production volumes and lower unit volume. Expenses for the
three
and nine months ended September 30, 2005 reflect twice the number of personnel
in order to run two full shifts of production and initial training for a partial
third shift. Manufacturing startup for the new
Z800
3DVisor was also recorded during the first half of 2005. For comparative
purposes expenses for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2004 represented staff required to run a single shift at relatively
low
throughput. We anticipate that gross margins will now improve as product
output increases over the next several quarters.
Operating
Expenses
Research
and Development.
Research and development expenses included salaries, development materials
and
other costs specifically allocated to the development of new microdisplay
products and OLED materials. Gross research
and development expenses for the three and nine months ended
September
30, 2005 were $1.0 million and $3.0 million, respectively, as compared
to
$0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively, for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2004. During the second
half of
2004 we initiated two new design projects, the SXGA and the SVGA shrink, that
are projected to yield future microdisplay products. More detailed
information on these projects can be found in our annual report, on Form 10KSB/A
for 2004. To accommodate these efforts our costs for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2005 reflect expanded staff size and outsourced design
services as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30,
2004. We expect R&D expenses to remain fairly constant for the
next several quarters as these projects are completed and then to decline
slightly through the end of 2006.
11
Selling,
General and Administrative.
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist principally of
salaries and fees for professional services, legal fees incurred in
connection with patent filings and related matters, as well as
other
marketing and administrative expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses, for the three and nine months ended
September
30, 2005 were $1.2 million and $4.3 million, respectively, as compared
to
$0.9 million and $2.8 million, respectively, for the three and nine months
ended
September 30, 2004. The selling, general and administrative
expenses
were reduced by $200,000 as a result of the recovery of bad debts for the
quarter ended September 30, 2005. The increases of $300,000 and
$1.5
million were primarily due to an increase in sales, marketing and
support staff and increased marketing expenses related to our new product
launches and trade show participation. We expect sales, general and
administrative expenses to remain relatively constant or to increase slightly
over the next several quarters.
Interest Income
(Expense).
Interest income (expense) for the three and nine months ending September 30,
2005 were $34,000 and $181,000 as compared to $26,000 and
($5.0) million for the three and nine months ended September
30,
2004. The $5.0 million in interest expense for the nine months
ended
September 30, 2004 was attributable to three factors recorded in 2004: (1)
$3.18
million of non-cash charges related to the value of the warrants issued to
induce the holders of the $7.825 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) $74,637
in non-cash charges related to the write-off of the remaining
unamortized deferred financing costs.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Current
Financial Position
We
have
approximately $2.6 million in liabilities and $6.4 million in
contractual obligations for a combined total of $9.0 million as of
September 30, 2005. The contractual obligations, along
with the
dates on which such payments are due, are described below (in thousands):

At
September 30, 2005 our working capital was $5.1 million and our cash balance
was
$2.1million. As mentioned in Note 12 - Subsequent Events, we completed a private
placement of common stock and warrants that resulted in net proceeds after
expenses of $8.38 million. These funds strengthen our liquidity and capital
resources and will be used to fund our working capital requirements.
We
currently anticipate that we will experience a material increase in sales if
our
new products meet with commercial success. As a result we anticipate
that
working capital to facilitate higher accounts
receivable, inventories and operating losses will be a principal
use of cash through the end of 2005 and in 2006. We anticipate that
our
operating expenses will remain flat to slightly up over the next
several quarters and that they will also be one of the principal uses
of
our cash. We expect that these cash requirements over the next 12 months will
be
met by a combination of cash on hand, debt, exercising of outstanding options,
and warrants and revenues generated by operations, though there is no guarantee
that these sources of capital will be available or sufficient. If they are
not
we will have to materially reduce our expenses which would likely have
a
negative impact on executing our business plans and achieving our projected
revenue growth.
Our
longer term cash requirements depend on numerous factors, including
completion of our product development activities, ability to
continue
to commercialize our products, timely market acceptance of our products and
our customers' products, and other factors.
We expect
to carefully devote capital resources to continue these
efforts.
Effect
Of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In
November 2004, the FASB issued FAS No. 151, "An amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter
4", which amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, "Inventory Pricing",
to
clarify 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. The statement is effective
for
fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2005 with early adoption permitted.
We are currently evaluating the requirements and impact of FAS No. 151, but
at
this point do 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 reporting periods beginning 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. We currently
account for 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, we comply 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". We will adopt the new statement in its
financial statements for the quarter ending March 31, 2006.
12
Factors
Which May Affect Future Results
In evaluating our
business, prospective investors and shareholders should
carefully consider the risks factors, any of which could have a material adverse
impact on our business, operating results and financial condition and
result in a complete loss 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 September 30, 2005, were $59
million and acquisition related non-cash transactions were $102 million, which
resulted in an accumulated deficit of $161 million, the majority of
which
was related to the March 2000 acquisition and the subsequent write-down of
our
goodwill. The non-cash losses were dominated by the amortization and write-down
of goodwill and purchased intangibles and write-down of acquired in process
research and development related to the March 2000 acquisition, and also
included some non-cash stock-based compensation. 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.
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
meet
our customer’s time requirements and would have difficulties in attracting 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. 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
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 provide the design layouts to semiconductor contract
manufacturers who manufacture the integrated circuits on silicon wafers. We
also
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,
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.
13
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 them, 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:
· |
our
success in designing, manufacturing and delivering expected new products,
including those implementing new technologies on a timely
basis;
|
· |

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.
14
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 and related products to OEMs who will
incorporate them into or with 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.
OUR
PRODUCTS WILL LIKELY EXPERIENCE RAPIDLY DECLINING UNIT PRICES.
In
the
markets in which we compete, prices of established products tend to decline
significantly over time. In order to maintain our profit margins over the long
term, we anticipate 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 time, there can be no
assurance that these cost reduction plans will be successful. 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.
15
WE
GENERALLY DO NOT HAVE LONG-TERM CONTRACTS WITH OUR CUSTOMERS.
Our
business is operated on the basis of short-term purchase orders and we cannot
guarantee that we will be able to obtain long-term contracts for some time.
Our
current purchase agreements can be cancelled or revised without penalty,
depending on the circumstances. In the absence of a backlog of orders that
can
only be canceled with penalty, 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 additional 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.
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.
We
did
not have material exposure to market risk from derivatives or other financial
instruments as of September 30, 2005, and we do not expect any significant
effect on our results of operations from interest rate and foreign currency
fluctuations.
(a)
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. As of the end of
the
period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision
and with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial
officer of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e)
and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based upon this evaluation, our chief
executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure
controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to
be
disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act
is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified
in the Commission's rules and forms.
(b)
Changes in internal controls. There was no change in our
internal
controls or in other factors that could affect these controls during our last
fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
