eMAGIN
CORPORATION
(Unaudited)
Note
1: Description of the Business and Summary of Significant Account Policies
The
Business
eMagin
Corporation is a developer and manufacturer of optical systems and microdisplays
for use in the electronics industry. eMagin also develops and markets
microdisplay systems and optics technology for commercial, industrial and
military applications.
Basis
of Presentation
In
the
opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements of eMagin Corporation and its subsidiary reflects all
adjustments, including normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair
presentation. Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included
in
annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant
to instruction, 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
condensed consolidated financial statements are read in conjunction with the
audited consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.
Certain
prior-period balances have been reclassified to conform to the current period
presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on revenue, net loss, assets
or liabilities in either period presented. The results of operations for the
period ended September 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results
to
be expected for the full year.
On
November 3, 2006, the Company effected a one-for-ten (1-for-10) reverse stock
split of its issued and outstanding common stock - see Note 8. All common share
amounts and per share amounts in the accompanying financial statements and
this
Form 10-Q have been adjusted to reflect the 1-for-10 reverse stock split. The
Company has adjusted its shareholders’ equity accounts by reducing its stated
capital and increasing its additional paid-in capital by approximately $91,000
as of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, to reflect the reduction in
outstanding shares as a result of the reverse stock split.
The
condensed 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 and
2007. The Company’s cash requirements over the next 12 months are greater
than our current cash on hand. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding
the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern without continuing to
obtain additional funding. The
Company does not have commitments for such financing and no assurance can be
given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be
on
acceptable terms.
If the
Company is unable to obtain sufficient funds during the next 6 months, the
Company will further reduce the size of its organization and/or curtail
operations which will have a material adverse impact on our business prospects.
The condensed 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,
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.
8
Revenue
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, the 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 fifteen day right of return. Revenue is
recognized upon the expiration of the right of return.
The
Company also earns revenues from certain 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.
Stock-based
Compensation
The
Company maintains several stock equity incentive plans. The 2005 Employee Stock
Purchase Plan (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. As of September 30, 2006, the number of shares of common
stock available for issuance was 150,000. As of September 30, 2006, the plan
had
not been implemented.
The
2003
Stock Option Plan (the”2003 Plan”) provides for grants of shares of common stock
and options to purchase shares of common stock to employees, officers, directors
and consultants. Under the 2003 plan, an ISO grant is granted at the market
value of the Company’s common stock at the date of the grant and a non-ISO is
granted at a price not to be less than 85% of the market value of the common
stock at the date of grant. These options have a term of up to 10 years and
vest
over a schedule determined by the Board of Directors, generally five years.
The
amended 2003 Plan provides for an annual increase of 3% of the diluted shares
outstanding on January 1 of each year for a period of nine (9) years which
commenced January 1, 2005.
On
January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting
Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement No. 123(R), “Share-Based
Payment”,
(“SFAS
No. 123R”), which requires the Company to recognize expense related to the fair
value of the Company’s share-based compensation. Prior to January 1, 2006, the
Company accounted for share-based compensation under the recognition and
measurement provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25
("APB No. 25"), “Accounting for Stock Issued
to Employees”,
and
related interpretations, as permitted by FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting
for
Stock-Based Compensation" (“SFAS No. 123”). In accordance with APB No. 25, no
compensation cost was required to be recognized for options granted that had
an
exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on
the
date of grant.
The
Company adopted SFAS No. 123R using the modified prospective transition method
and consequently has not retroactively adjusted results for prior periods.
Under
this transition method, compensation cost associated with stock options
includes: a) compensation cost for all share-based compensation granted prior
to, but not vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value
estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No.123 and b)
compensation cost for all share-based compensation granted beginning January
1,
2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the
provisions of SFAS No.123R. The Company uses the straight-line method for
recognizing compensation expense. Compensation expense for awards under SFAS
123R includes an estimate for forfeitures.
See
Note
7 for further information regarding the Company’s stock-based compensation
assumptions and expenses, including the impact of adoption on the Company’s
condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and pro forma disclosures for prior
periods as if we had recorded stock-based compensation expense.
Note
2: Receivables
The
majority of the Company’s commercial accounts receivable are due from Original
Equipment Manufacturers ("OEM’s”). Credit is extended based on evaluation of a
customer’s 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.
9
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 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.

Note
4: 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 stock equivalent
shares are excluded from the computation if their effect is antidilutive. As
of
September 30, 2006 and 2005, there were stock options and warrants outstanding
to acquire 4,893,921 and 3,519,393 shares of our common stock, respectively.
These shares were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share
because their effect would be antidilutive.
Note
5: 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

On
July
21, 2006, the Company entered into several Note Purchase Agreements for the
sale
of approximately $5.99 million of senior secured debentures (the “Notes”)
together with warrants to purchase approximately 1.8 million shares of common
stock, par value $.0001 per share. 50% of the aggregate principal amount matures
on July 21, 2007 and the remaining 50% matures on January 21, 2008. The Notes
pay 6% interest quarterly beginning September 1, 2006. Approximately $37,000
of
interest was paid to investors on September 1, 2006.
The
Company accounted for the net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes as two
separate components: a detachable warrant component and a debt component.
The Company determined the relative fair value of warrants to be $2.0
million which was recorded as debt discount, a reduction of the carrying value
of the Notes. The following assumptions were used to determine the fair value
of
the warrants:

The

was amortized to interest expense -
see Note
8: Shareholders’ Equity for additional information on the Notes.
Note
7: Stock-based Compensation
On
January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123R, which
requires the Company to recognize expense related to the fair value of the
Company’s share-based compensation issued to employees and directors. Prior to
January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for share-based compensation under the
recognition and measurement provisions of APB No. 25 and related
interpretations, as permitted by SFAS No. 123. We adopted SFAS No. 123R using
the modified prospective transition method. Accordingly, periods prior to
adoption have not been restated. Compensation cost recognized for the three
and
nine months ended September 30, 2006 includes a) compensation cost for all
share-based compensation granted prior to, but not vested as of January 1,
2006,
based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the original
provisions of SFAS No.123 and b) compensation cost for all share-based
compensation granted beginning January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair
value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No.123R. The
compensation cost was recognized using the straight-line attribution method.

For
the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, stock compensation was
approximately $0.7 million and $2.3 million, respectively. At September 30,
2006, total unrecognized non-cash compensation costs related to stock options
was approximately $4.8 million, net of estimated forfeitures. Total unrecognized
compensation cost will be adjusted for future changes in estimated forfeitures
and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately
5.4 years.
The
Company recognizes compensation expense for options granted to non-employees
in
accordance with the provision of Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) consensus
Issue 96-18, “Accounting
for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring,
or
in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services,”
which
requires using a fair value options pricing model and re-measuring such stock
options to the current fair market value at each reporting period as the
underlying options vest and services are rendered.
In
determining the fair value of stock options granted during the nine month
periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, the following key assumptions were
used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model:

We
have
not declared or paid any dividends and do not currently expect to do so in
the
near future. The risk-free interest rate used in the Black-Scholes is based
on
the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury securities with an
equivalent term. Expected volatility is based on the weighted average historical
volatility of the Company’s common stock for the most recent five year period.
The expected term of options represents the period that our stock-based awards
are expected to be outstanding and was determined based on historical experience
and vesting schedules of similar awards.

The
expected to vest options are the result of applying the pre-vesting forfeiture
rate assumptions to total outstanding options.
The
aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the difference between
the exercise price of the underlying options and the quoted price of the
Company’s common stock for the 125,202 options that were in-the-money at
September
30, 2006. The Company’s closing stock price was $2.50 as of September 30, 2006.
The Company issues new shares of common stock upon exercise of stock
options.
On
July
21, 2006, certain employees and Directors of the Company agreed to forfeit
approximately 467,000 shares underlying existing stock options in return for
the
re-pricing of approximately 869,000 existing options at $2.60 per share having
a
weighted average original exercise price of $11.97. Option grants that have
not
been re-priced will remain unchanged. The unvested options which were re-priced
will continue to vest on original vesting schedules, but in no event prior
to
January 19, 2007. Previously vested options which were re-priced will now vest
on January 19, 2007. Re-priced grants will be forfeited if the individual leaves
voluntarily. The Company has accounted for the re-pricing and cancellation
transactions as a modification under SFAS No. 123R. The Company will recognize
the additional compensation charges over the four months ended January 19,
2007
for previously vested options and over the remaining vesting period for unvested
options.

Note
8: Shareholders’ Equity
At
the
Company’s 2006 Annual Meeting of Shareholders in October 2006, the Company’s
shareholders approved an amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation
to effect a reverse stock split of the issued and outstanding common stock
on a
ratio of 1-for-10. On November 3, 2006, the reverse stock split became
effective. The Company has adjusted its shareholders’ equity accounts by
reducing its stated capital and increasing its additional paid-in capital by
approximately $91,000 as of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, to reflect
the reduction in outstanding shares as a result of the reverse stock split.
On
July
21, 2006, the Company entered into several Note Purchase Agreements for the
sale
of approximately $5.99 million of senior secured debentures (the “Notes”) and
warrants to purchase approximately 1.8 million shares of common stock, par
value
$.001 per share. The investors purchased $5.99 million principal amount of
Notes
with conversion prices of $2.60 per share that may convert into approximately
2.3 million shares of common stock and 5 year warrants exercisable at $3.60
per
share into approximately 1.6 million shares of common stock. If the Notes are
not converted, 50% of the principal amount will be due on July 21, 2007 and
the
remaining 50% will be due on January 21, 2008. Commencing September 1, 2006,
6%
interest is payable in quarterly installments on outstanding notes. On September
1, 2006, the Company paid approximately $37,000 to investors for the first
installment of quarterly interest. In the quarter ended September 30, 2006,
two
note holders partially converted their promissory note valued at approximately
$70,000 and were issued an aggregate of approximately 27,000 shares. The Company
received approximately $5.4 million, net of deferred costs of approximately
$0.6
million which are amortized over the life of the Notes.
The
Company accounted for the net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes as two
separate components: a detachable warrant component and a debt component.
The Company determined the relative fair value of the warrants to be
approximately $2.0 million which was recorded as debt discount, a reduction
of
the carrying value of the Notes. The following assumptions were used to
determine the fair value of the warrants:
Dividend

The
discount is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the Note.
For
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, debt discount of
approximately $227,000 was amortized to interest expense.
An
additional $0.5 million will be invested through the exercise of a warrant
to
purchase approximately 192,000 shares of common stock at $2.60 per share on
or
prior to December 14, 2006, or at the election of the Company, by the purchase
of additional Notes and warrants. The Company determined the relative fair
value
of the warrants to be approximately $158,000 which was recorded as an other
asset. The following assumptions were used to determine the fair value of the
warrant:

Under
EITF 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to
and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock”, the fair value of the
warrants, $2.2 million, have been recorded as a liability since the warrant
agreement requires a potential net-cash settlement in the first year of the
warrant agreement if the registration statement is not effective. As of
September 30, 2006, the registration statement is effective. The liability
will be adjusted to fair value at each reporting period. The change in the
fair
value of the warrants will be recorded in the Consolidated Statement of
Operations as other income (expense). For the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2006, the Company recorded approximately $97,000 of gain from
the
change in the fair value of the derivative liability.
As
a
result of the issuance of the Notes, the outstanding 116,576 Series A Common
Stock Purchase Warrants, that were issued to certain accredited and/or
institutional investors pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement dated
January 9, 2004, were re-priced from $5.50 to $2.60 and the outstanding 650,001
Series F Common Stock Purchase Warrants, that were issued to certain accredited
and/or institutional investors pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement
dated October 25, 2004, were re-priced from $10.90 to $8.60.
14
A
registration rights agreement was entered into in connection with the Notes
which requires the Company to file a registration statement for the resale
of
the common stock underlying the Notes and 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 shares of common stock underlying the Notes and the warrants
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 as set forth in the preceding sentence, the Company is required
to
pay each investor cash payments equal to 1.0% of the aggregate purchase price
monthly until the failure is cured. If the Company fails to pay the liquidated
damages, interest at 16.0% will accrue until the liquidated damages are paid
in
full. The registration statement was filed and declared effective by the
Securities and Exchange Commission within the specified grace period. As of
September 30, 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.
For
the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company received
approximately $10,000 for the exercise of 5,000 options and there were no
warrants exercised. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005,
the
Company received approximately $30,000 and $35,000, respectively, for the
exercise of 9,600 and 10,400 options, respectively. For the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2005, the Company received approximately $1.6 million
for the exercise of approximately 300,000 warrants.
For
the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company also issued
approximately 63,000 and 108,000 shares of common stock, respectively, in lieu
of cash payments in the amount of approximately $209,000 and $401,000,
respectively, as compensation for services rendered and to be rendered in
the future. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, the
Company also issued approximately 12,000 and 41,000 shares of common stock,
respectively, in lieu of cash payments in the amount of approximately $121,000
and $378,000, respectively, as compensation for services rendered and to be
rendered in the future.
Note
9: Commitments and Contingencies
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 with respect to 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 issued
patent which is the last to expire.
The
Company paid $125,000 for the minimum amount due for 2006 and 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 approximately $149,000 and $340,000, respectively, for the three
and
nine months ended September 30, 2006 and approximately $65,000 and $130,000,
respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005.
Contractual
Obligations
The Company leases
office facilities and office, lab and factory equipment under operating leases
expiring through 2009. Certain leases provide for payments of monthly
operating expenses. The Company currently has lease commitments for space in
Hopewell Junction, New York and Bellevue, Washington. Rent expense was
approximately $332,000 and $1.0 million for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2006, respectively, and approximately $267,000 and $742,000 for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively.

Note
10: Legal Proceedings
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 the
Company, asserting breach of contract and seeking to recover a $150,000 grant
which was made to the Company based on goals set forth in the agreement for
recruitment of employees. On July 13, 2006, the Company agreed to a settlement
with the New York State Urban Development Corporation to repay $112,200. The
settlement requires that repayments be made on a monthly basis in the amount
of
$3,116.67 per month commencing August 1, 2006 and ending on July 1,
2009.
At
the
Company’s 2006 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on October 20, 2006, the
Company’s shareholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of
Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s outstanding
common stock at an exchange ratio of one-for-ten. On November 3, 2006, the
reverse stock split became effective. Each holder of ten shares of the Company’s
common stock will become the holder of one share of the Company’s common stock.

Overview
We
design, develop, manufacture, and market 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.
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 we are the only company to sell full-color active matrix small molecule
OLED-on-silicon microdisplays.
Company
History
From
inception through January 1, 2003, we were a developmental stage company. We
have transitioned to manufacturing our products 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.
17
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 selling 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 fifteen day
right of return. Revenue is recognized upon the expiration of the right of
return.
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
In
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States,
management utilizes 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, stock-based compensation expense and other factors. Management
believes it 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, investments, accounts receivable and accounts
payable are stated at cost which approximates fair value due to the short-term
nature of these instruments.
Stock-based
Compensation
We
maintain several stock equity incentive plans. The 2005 Employee Stock Purchase
Plan (the “ESPP”) provides our 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. As
of
September 30, 2006, the number of shares of common stock available for issuance
was 150,000. As of September 30, 2006, the plan had not been
implemented.
18
The
2003
Stock Option Plan (the”2003 Plan”) provides for grants of shares of common stock
and options to purchase shares of common stock to employees, officers, directors
and consultants. Under the 2003 plan, an ISO grant is granted at the market
value of our common stock at the date of the grant and a non-ISO is granted
at a
price not to be less than 85% of the market value of the common stock. These
options have a term of up to 10 years and vest over a schedule determined by
the
Board of Directors, generally over a five year period. The amended 2003 Plan
provides for an annual increase of 3% of the diluted shares outstanding on
January 1 of each year for a period of 9 years which commenced January 1, 2005.
On
January 1, 2006, we adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards
Board (“FASB”) Statement No. 123(R), “Share-Based
Payment”,
and
(“SFAS No. 123R”), which requires us to recognize expense related to the fair
value of our share-based compensation issued to employees and directors. Prior
to the January 1, 2006, we accounted for share-based compensation under the
recognition and measurement provisions of Accounting Principles
Board Opinion No. 25 ("APB No. 25"), “Accounting for Stock Issued
to Employees”,
and
related interpretations, as permitted by FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting
for
Stock-Based Compensation" (“SFAS No. 123”). In accordance with APB No. 25, no
compensation cost was required to be recognized for options granted that had
an
exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on
the
date of grant.
We
adopted SFAS No. 123R using the modified prospective transition method and
consequently have not retroactively adjusted results for prior periods. Under
this transition method, compensation cost associated with stock options
includes: a) compensation cost for all share-based compensation granted prior
to, but not vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value
estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No.123 and b) compensation
cost for all share-based compensation granted beginning January 1, 2006, based
on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the original
provisions of SFAS No.123R. We use the straight-line method for recognizing
compensation expense. Compensation expense for awards under SFAS 123R includes
an estimate for forfeitures.
NEW
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) has issued interpretation No. 48,
“Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—An Interpretation of FASB Statement
No. 109” (“FIN 48”), regarding accounting for, and disclosure of, uncertain tax
positions. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes
recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB
Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 prescribes a
recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement
recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken
in a
tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification,
interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and
transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2006. We do not anticipate that the adoption of this statement will have a
material effect on our financial position or results of operation.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, “Fair Value
Measurements”. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for
measuring fair value in GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. We
will be evaluating the effect that the adoption of SFAS 157 may have on our
financial position and results of operations.
RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
THREE
AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2006 COMPARED TO THREE AND NINE MONTHS
ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 2005
Revenues
Revenues
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 were approximately
$2.3 million and $5.6 million, respectively, as compared to approximately $1.1
million and $2.5 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2005, an increase of approximately 103% and 127%, respectively.
Higher revenue for the three and nine month periods was primarily due to
increased microdisplay demand and increased availability of finished displays
due to manufacturing improvements.
19
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, 2006 was approximately $2.9 million and $8.9 million,
respectively, as compared to approximately $2.7 million and $7.0 million,
respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, an
increase of approximately $0.2 million and $1.9 million, respectively. The
gross loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 was
approximately ($0.6) million and ($3.3) million, respectively, as compared
to
approximately ($1.6) million and $(4.6) million, respectively, for the three
and
nine months ended September 30, 2005. This translates to a gross loss of (28%)
and (59%), respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2006
as compared to a gross loss of (137%) and (184%), respectively, for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2005. The increase in cost of goods sold
for
the three and nine months 2006 was attributed to higher materials usage to
support increased production as well as approximately $112,000 and $370,000
for
the three and nine month periods, respectively, of non cash stock compensation
expense reflected in accordance with SFAS No. 123R in 2006.
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, OLED materials and subsystems. Research
and development expenses for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2006 were approximately $1.0 million and $3.5 million, respectively, a
decrease of approximately $57,000 and an increase of $469,000, as compared
to
approximately $1.0 million and $3.0 million, respectively, for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2005. The decrease in the
quarter was due to reductions in research and development expenditures and
personnel costs and offset in part by the stock-based compensation of $119,000
reflected in accordance with SFAS No. 123R in 2006. The increase in the nine
months ended September 30, 2006 was primarily due to the stock-based
compensation expense of $378,000 and slightly higher headcount for the first
6
months of the year. Options were not expensed during 2005.
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, 2006 were approximately $1.8 million and $6.7 million, respectively, as
compared to approximately $1.2 million and $4.3 million, respectively, for
the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2005. The increase of
approximately $0.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 was
primarily related to the stock-based compensation expense of approximately
$458,000. The increase of approximately $2.4 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2006 was primarily due to stock-based compensation expense of
approximately $1.5 million and an increase in advertising and trade show
expenses related to the marketing of our Z800 3DVisor.
Other
Income, net.
Other
income, net consists primarily of interest income earned on
investments, interest expense related to the secured debentures, and gain
from the change in the derivative liability. For the three and nine months
ended
September 30, 2006, interest income was $14,000 and $73,000, respectively,
as
compared to $34,000 and $157,000, respectively, for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2005. The decrease in interest income was
primarily a result of lower cash balances available for investment. For the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, interest expense was $354,000
as
compared to $1,000 and $3,000, respectively, for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2005. The increase in the interest expense was a
result of interest associated with our notes payable of $37,000, the
amortization of the deferred costs associated with the notes payable of $88,000,
and the amortization of the debt discount of $227,000. For the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2006, income from the change in the derivative
liability was $97,000 as compared to $0 for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2006.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As
of
September 30, 2006, we had approximately $1.4 million of cash and cash
equivalents as compared to $6.7 million as of December 31, 2005. The decrease
of
approximately $5.3 million was due primarily to $10.4 million of cash used
for
operating activities offset by $5.3 million of cash provided by financing
activities.
Cash
flow
used in operating activities during the nine months of 2006 was approximately
$10.4 million as compared to cash used of approximately $12.2 million during
the
nine months of 2005. This decrease of approximately $1.8 million was primarily
attributable to an increased inventory and prepaid expenses during the first
nine months of 2005 and not repeated in 2006 as well as a reduction of
approximately $400,000 in net losses before stock option expenses. In June
of
2006, we took steps to reduce our use of cash for operating activities by
approximately $4 million annually by reducing our headcount by 28 employees
and
lowering discretionary spending.
20
Cash
used
in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was
approximately $0.2 million as compared to approximately $0.7 million during
the
nine months ended September 30, 2005. The reduction of cash used in investing
activities was primarily due to lower purchases of equipment.
Cash
provided from financing activities during the nine months ended September 30,
2006 was approximately $5.3 million as compared approximately $1.6 million
during the nine months ended September 30, 2005. We received approximately
$5.4
million, net, from the sale of senior secured debentures for the nine months
ended September 30, 2006 and approximately $1.6 million of proceeds from the
exercise of employee stock options and warrants during the same period in 2005.
Our
condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2006 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
have issued their 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 dependent 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.
As
we
have reported our business is currently experiencing significant revenue growth
during the first nine months of 2006. This trend, if it continues, may result
in
higher accounts receivable levels and may require increased production and/or
higher inventory levels. We anticipate that our cash requirements to fund these
requirements as well as other operating or investing cash requirements over
the
next 6 months will be greater than our current cash on hand. While we received
approximately $5.4 million, net, from the sale of senior secured debentures
pursuant to the Note
Purchase agreements that we entered into on July 21, 2006, and such agreements
provide for the investors to purchase an additional $0.5 million prior to
December 14, 2006, nevertheless we anticipate that we will still require
additional funds over the next 6 months. We do not currently have commitments
for these funds and no assurance can be given that additional financing will
be
available, or if available, will be on acceptable terms.
If we
are unable to obtain sufficient funds during the next 12 months we will further
reduce the size of our organization and may be forced to reduce and/or curtail
our production and operations, all of which could have a material adverse impact
on our business prospects.
In
addition to the foregoing, as previously reported, we have retained CIBC World
Markets Corporation and Larkspur Capital Corporation to assist us in
investigating and evaluating various strategic alternatives, ranging from
investment to acquisition, in response to inquiries that we have
received.
We
do not
have any off balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have
a
current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, results of
operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.
ITEM
3. 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.

ITEM
1A. Risk Factors
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, 2006 were $77 million
and acquisition related non-cash transactions were $102 million, which resulted
in an accumulated net loss of $179 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.
As
we
have reported, our business is currently experiencing significant revenue growth
during the first nine months of 2006. We anticipate that our cash requirements
to fund these requirements as well as other operating or investing cash
requirements over the next 6 months will be greater than our current cash on
hand. While we received approximately $5.4 million, net, from the sale of senior
secured debentures pursuant to the Note
Purchase agreements that we entered into on July 21, 2006, and such agreements
provide for the investors to purchase an additional $0.5 million prior to
December 14, 2006, we will nevertheless still require additional funds. We
do
not currently have any financing commitments and no assurance can be given
that
additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on acceptable
terms.
If we
are unable to obtain sufficient funds during the next 6 months we will further
reduce the size of our organization and may be forced to reduce and/or curtail
our production and operations, all of which could have a material adverse impact
on our business prospects.
Our
independent registered public accounting firm has expressed substantial 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 September 30, 2006 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
have
issued their 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.
23
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 produce our products 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.
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.

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 and those under development utilize OLED technology that
we
license from Eastman Kodak. We rely upon Eastman Kodak to protect and enforce
key patents, 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 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
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.
25
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.
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.
26
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 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 our 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.
27
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 September 30, 2006, we have outstanding (i) options to
purchase 1,153,440 shares and (ii) warrants to purchase 3,740,481 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.
Our
common stock may be delisted from the American Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”),
which may have a material adverse impact on the pricing and trading of our
common stock, and which would be deemed an event of default under our 6%
senior
secured convertible notes.
To
maintain the listing of our common stock on the Exchange, we are required
to
meet certain continued listing requirements, including, but not limited to,
the
requirement that we maintain a minimum amount in shareholder’s equity. On
October 9, 2006, we received notice from the Exchange stating that we do
not
meet certain of the Exchange’s continued listing standards as set forth in Part
10 of the Exchange Company Guide (the “Company Guide”) and that we have become
subject to the continued listing evaluation and follow-up procedures and
requirements of Section 1009 of the Company Guide.
Pursuant
to a review by the Exchange of our 10-Q for the three and six months ended
June
30, 2006, the Exchange has determined that we are not in compliance with
Sections 1003(a)(ii) and 1003(a)(iii) of the Company Guide, respectively,
which
state, in relevant part, that the Exchange will normally consider suspending
dealings in, or removing from the list, securities of a company which (a)
has
stockholders' equity of less than $4,000,000 if such company has sustained
losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in three of its four
most
recent fiscal years; or (b) has stockholders' equity of less than $6,000,000
if
such company has sustained losses from continuing operations and/or net losses
in its five most recent fiscal years, respectively.
We
submitted a plan on November 6, 2006 advising the Exchange of actions that
we
will take, which may bring us into compliance with Sections 1003 (a)(ii)
and
1003(a)(iii) of the Company Guide within a maximum of 18 months of receipt
of
the notice letter. The plan included specific milestones, quarterly financial
projections, and details relating to any strategic initiatives we plan to
complete. The Exchange will evaluate the plan, including supporting
documentation which we submitted, and will make a determination as to whether
we
have made a reasonable demonstration in the plan of an ability to regain
compliance with Sections 1003 (a)(ii) and 1003(a)(iii) of the Company Guide
within a maximum of 18 months of receipt of the notice letter, in which case
the
plan will be accepted. If the plan is accepted, we may be able to continue
listing during the plan of up to 18 months, during which time we will be
subject
to periodic review to determine if it is making progress consistent with
the
plan. As of the date hereof, we have not received a response from the Exchange
with respect to our plan.
If
our
common stock were delisted from the Exchange, we would trade on the
Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board and the market price for shares or our common
stock could decline. In addition, it may become more difficult for us to
raise
funds through the sale of our common stock or securities convertible into
our
common stock. Further, if our common stock were delisted from the Exchange,
we
would be in default of our 6% Senior Secured Convertible Notes in the principal
amount of $5,970,000 and unless a waiver was granted, we would be required
to
repay such principal amount, including a default interest rate of 12% on
the
outstanding principal balance. If we were required to repay the secured
convertible notes, we would be required to use our limited working capital
and
raise additional funds. If we were unable to repay the notes when required,
the
note holders could commence legal action against us to recover the amounts
due. Any such action would require us to curtail or cease
operations.
28
For
the
three months ended September 30, 2006, the Company issued 71,700 options
exercisable into shares of common stock at a price equal to $2.70 per share
to
employees as compensation for services performed on behalf of the
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-referenced persons, we have made independent determinations that the
above-referenced persons 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
and Exchange Commission filings.
