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 generally accepted
accounting principles 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 March 31, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results to
be
expected for the full year.
The
consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company
will continue as a going concern. The Company has had recurring losses from
operations which it believes will continue through 2006. These factors raise
substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern
without obtaining additional funding. Management is currently negotiating
establishment of a standby debt facility with existing investors and or the
placement of debt with new investors to address this funding requirement. If
management is unsuccessful in its efforts to obtain additional funding, the
Company will reduce its operating plan which will have an impact on its ability
to achieve profitability. 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
of
America, management utilizes certain estimates and assumptions that affect
the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates
and
judgments. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience
and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about
the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent
from
other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue
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.
7
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. Amounts can
be billed on a bi-monthly basis.
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 March 31, 2006, the number of shares of common stock
available for issuance was 1,500,000. As of March 31, 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 is 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.
8
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.
Receivables
consisted of the following (in thousands):

Note
3: Research and Development Costs
Research
and development costs are expensed as incurred.
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 equivalent shares totaling 44,620,483 and
33,626,127 have been excluded from the computation of diluted EPS
for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively,
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

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 quarter
ended March 31, 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 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. The compensation cost
was recognized using the straight-line attribution method.
The
following table summarizes the allocation of non-cash stock-based compensation
to our expense categories for the three month period ended March 31, 2006 (in
thousands):

Stock-based
compensation was $792,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. At March 31,
2006, total unrecognized non-cash compensation costs related to stock options
was $6.9 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 5.5
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.
In
determining the fair value of stock options granted during the three month
periods ended March 31, 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.

Note
8: Shareholders’ Equity
In
the
quarter ended March 31, 2006, there were no warrants and stock options exercised
as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2005 where the Company received
approximately $1.2 million in proceeds from the exercise of approximately 2.4
million warrants and options. For the three months ended March 31, 2006 and
2005, the Company also issued approximately 77,000 and 12,000 shares of common
stock, respectively, for the payment of approximately $50,000 and $12,000,
respectively, for services rendered and to be rendered in the future.
As such, the Company recorded the fair value of the services
rendered in prepaid expenses and selling, general and
administrative expenses in the accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31,
2006 and 2005, respectively.
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 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.
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 $85,000 and $23,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and
2005, respectively.
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 $347,000 and $234,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006
and 2005, respectively.
Note

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. In January
2006, we unveiled prototypes of our upcoming X800 3DVisor and Eyebud(tm)
Personal Display Systems. The Eyebud for use with video iPods was identified
as
an important new electronics product by several major publications including
USA
Today.
We
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.
14
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.
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
of
America, 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 appropriates 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
March 31, 2006, the number of shares of common stock available for issuance
was
1,500,000. As of March 31, 2006, the plan had not been implemented.
15
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.
Results
of Operations
THREE
MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2006 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31,
2005
Revenues
Revenues
for the three months ended March 31, 2006 were approximately $1.6 million
as compared to approximately $0.7 million for the three months ended March
31,
2005, an increase of 138%. The increase in revenue was due to increased revenue
and unit shipments of our microdisplays and a broadening of our product revenue
through sales of the Z800 3DVisor. The average selling price per unit of a
microdisplay increased to $414 as compared to $332 in the first quarter of
2005.
Cost
of Goods Sold
Cost
of
goods sold includes direct and indirect costs associated with
production. Cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2006
was approximately $3.0 million as compared to $2.0 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2005, an increase of approximately $1.0 million.
The gross loss for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was approximately
($1.4) million as compared to approximately ($1.3) million for the three months
ended March 31, 2005. This translates to a gross margin of (85%) for the three
months ended March 31, 2006 as compared to a gross margin of (183%) for the
three months ended March 31, 2005. The increase to cost of goods sold in 2006
was attributed to higher staffing levels and materials usage to support
increased product production as well as approximately $135,000 of non cash
stock
compensation expense associated with the adoption of SFAS No. 123R.
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. Gross research
and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2006
were approximately $1.2 million as compared to approximately $0.9 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2005, an increase of
approximately $300,000. This increase was due to increased personnel costs
related to additional headcount and stock-based compensation expense of
approximately $128,000 related to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R.
16
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 months ended March 31, 2006 were
approximately $2.6 million as compared to approximately $1.3 million for
the three months ended March 31, 2005. Of the approximately
$1.3 million increase, approximately $0.7 million was
primarily due to an increase in advertising expenses related to our Z800
3DVisor, trade show participation and increased personnel costs related to
additional headcount as well as stock-based compensation expense of
approximately $529,000 related to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R.
Other
Income, net.
Other
income, net consists primarily of interest income earned on investments. For
the
three months ended March 31, 2006 interest income was $54,000 as compared to
$18,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005. The
increase in net other income was primarily a result of a higher earned interest
rate on our invested balances.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As
of
March 31, 2006, we had approximately $4.7 million of working capital as compared
to approximately $8.9 million as of December 31, 2005. This decrease of
approximately $4.2 million was due primarily to uses of working capital to
fund
operations.
Cash
flow
used in operating activities during the first quarter of 2006 was approximately
$5.0 million as compared to cash used of approximately $3.7 million during
the
first quarter of 2005. The increase in use of funds was primarily attributable
to the cash portion of our net loss of approximately $4.1 million and
approximately $0.9 million used in relation to increases in accounts receivables
due to higher sales and decreases in liabilities resulting from payments to
vendors and employees.
Cash
used
in investing activities during the first quarter of 2006 was $56,000 as compared
to cash used of $197,000 during the first quarter of 2005. The reduction of
cash
used in investing activities was primarily due to lower purchases of equipment.
Equipment purchased in the first quarter of 2006 was $54,000 as compared to
$232,000 in the first quarter of 2005.
Cash
used
in financing activities during the first quarter of 2006 was $9,000 as compared
to cash provided from financing activities of approximately $1.2 million during
the first quarter of 2005. We received approximately $1.2 million of proceeds
from the exercise of employee stock options and warrants during the first
quarter of 2005.
Our
condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 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
We
currently expect that our business will experience significant revenue growth
during 2006 which will result in higher accounts receivable levels and higher
inventory levels as shown by first quarter results. To fund these requirements
as well as other operating or investing cash requirements over the next 12
months, we anticipate that our cash requirements will be significant.
We
intend
to seek outside financing in the form of debt
collateralized by our assets and to a lesser extent the sale of
equity.
We have
not yet obtained any commitments for such financing and no assurance can be
given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be
on
acceptable terms. Though
we
have a proven history of successfully raising capital there is no guarantee
that
we will be successful with our current efforts. If we are unable to obtain
sufficient funds in the near future, we will reduce the size of our organization
and will rely on our current cash and raw materials to support a reduced
operating plan that should still support modest growth in our business, but
may
have a material adverse impact on us and our business prospects.
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
4. Controls and Procedures.
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.

1. 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
eMagin, asserting breach of contract and seeking to recover a $150,000 grant
which was made to eMagin based on goals set forth in the agreement for
recruitment of employees. eMagin
has received an extension of time to answer the Complaint and is in on-going
negotiations with New York State Urban Development Corporation in order to
resolve this matter.
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 March 31, 2006 were $69 million
and
acquisition related non-cash transactions were $102 million, which resulted
in
an accumulated net loss of $171 million. We have not yet achieved profitability
and we can give no assurances that we will achieve profitability within the
foreseeable future as we fund operating and capital expenditures in areas such
as establishment and expansion of markets, sales and marketing, operating
equipment and research and development. We cannot assure investors that we
will
ever achieve or sustain profitability or that our operating losses will not
increase in the future.
We
may not be able to execute our business plan and may not generate cash from
operations.
In
the
event that cash flow from operations is less than anticipated and we are unable
to secure additional funding to cover our expenses, in order to preserve cash,
we would be required to reduce expenditures and effect reductions in our
corporate infrastructure, either of which could have a material adverse effect
on our ability to continue our current level of operations. To the extent that
operating expenses increase or we need additional funds to make acquisitions,
develop new technologies or acquire strategic assets, the need for additional
funding may be accelerated and there can be no assurances that any such
additional funding can be obtained on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If
we
were not able to generate sufficient capital, either from operations or through
additional debt or equity financing, to fund our current operations, we would
be
forced to significantly reduce or delay our plans for continued research and
development and expansion. This could significantly reduce the value of our
securities.
Our
independent registered public accounting firm has expressed doubt about our
ability to continue as a going concern, which may hinder our ability to obtain
future financing
Our
consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 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
a report dated March 15, 2006 that included an explanatory paragraph expressing
substantial doubt in our ability to continue as a going concern without
additional capital becoming available. Our
ability to continue as a going concern ultimately is dependent on our ability
to
generate a profit which is likely dependant upon our ability to obtain
additional equity or debt financing, attain further operating efficiencies
and,
ultimately, to achieve profitable operations. The financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.
19
The
manufacture of OLED-on-silicon
is new and OLED
microdisplays have not been produced in significant quantities.
If
we are
unable to produce our products in sufficient quantity, we will be unable to
maintain and attract new customers. In addition, we cannot assure you that
once
we commence volume production we will attain yields at high throughput that
will
result in profitable gross margins or that we will not experience manufacturing
problems which could result in delays in delivery of orders or product
introductions.
We
are dependent on a single manufacturing line.
We
currently manufacture our products on a single manufacturing line. If we
experience any significant disruption in the operation of our manufacturing
facility or a serious failure of a critical piece of equipment, we may be unable
to supply microdisplays to our customers. For this reason, some OEMs may also
be
reluctant to commit a broad line of products to our microdisplays without a
second production facility in place. However, we try to maintain product
inventory to fill the requirements under such circumstances. Interruptions
in
our manufacturing could be caused by manufacturing equipment problems, the
introduction of new equipment into the manufacturing process or delays in the
delivery of new manufacturing equipment. Lead-time for delivery of manufacturing
equipment can be extensive. No assurance can be given that we will not lose
potential sales or be unable to meet production orders due to production
interruptions in our manufacturing line. In order to meet the requirements
of
certain OEMs for multiple manufacturing sites, we will have to expend capital
to
secure additional sites and may not be able to manage multiple sites
successfully.
We
could experience manufacturing interruptions, delays, or inefficiencies if
we
are unable to timely and reliably procure components from single-sourced
suppliers.
We
maintain several single-source supplier relationships, either because
alternative sources are not available or the relationship is advantageous due
to
performance, quality, support, delivery, capacity, or price considerations.
If
the supply of a critical single-source material or component is delayed or
curtailed, we may not be able to ship the related product in desired quantities
and in a timely manner. Even where alternative sources of supply are available,
qualification of the alternative suppliers and establishment of reliable
supplies could result in delays and a possible loss of sales, which could harm
operating results.
We
expect to depend on semiconductor contract manufacturers to supply our silicon
integrated circuits and other suppliers of key components, materials and
services.
We
do not
manufacture the silicon integrated circuits on which we incorporate our OLED
technology. Instead, we expect to provide the design layouts to semiconductor
contract manufacturers who will manufacture the integrated circuits on silicon
wafers. We also expect to depend on suppliers of a variety of other components
and services, including circuit boards, graphic integrated circuits, passive
components, materials and chemicals, and equipment support. Our inability to
obtain sufficient quantities of high quality silicon integrated circuits or
other necessary components, materials or services on a timely basis could result
in manufacturing delays, increased costs and ultimately in reduced or delayed
sales or lost orders which could materially and adversely affect our operating
results.
RISKS
RELATED TO OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
We
rely on our license agreement with Eastman Kodak for the development of our
products.
We
rely
on our license agreement with Eastman Kodak for the development of our products,
and the termination of this license, Eastman Kodak's licensing of its OLED
technology to others for microdisplay applications, or the sublicensing by
Eastman Kodak of our OLED technology to third parties, could have a material
adverse impact on our business.
Our
principal products under development utilize OLED technology that we license
from Eastman Kodak. We rely upon Eastman Kodak to protect and enforce key
patents held by Eastman Kodak, relating to OLED display technology. Eastman
Kodak's patents expire at various times in the future. Our license with Eastman
Kodak could terminate if we fail to perform any material term or covenant under
the license agreement. Since our license from Eastman Kodak is non-exclusive,
Eastman Kodak could also elect to become a competitor itself or to license
OLED
technology for microdisplay applications to others who have the potential to
compete with us. The occurrence of any of these events could have a material
adverse impact on our business.
20
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.
|
21
Our
competitive position could be damaged if one or more potential OEM customers
decide to manufacture their own microdisplays, using OLED or alternate
technologies. In addition, our customers may be reluctant to rely on a
relatively small company such as eMagin for a critical component. We cannot
assure you that we will be able to compete successfully against current and
future competition, and the failure to do so would have a materially adverse
effect upon our business, operating results and financial condition.
The
display industry is cyclical.
The
display industry is characterized by fabrication facilities that require large
capital expenditures and long lead times for supplies and the subsequent
processing time, leading to frequent mismatches between supply and demand.
The
OLED microdisplay sector may experience overcapacity if and when all of the
facilities presently in the planning stage come on line leading to a difficult
market in which to sell our products.
Competing
products may get to market sooner than ours.
Our
competitors are investing substantial resources in the development and
manufacture of microdisplay systems using alternative technologies such as
reflective liquid crystal displays (LCDs), LCD-on-Silicon ("LCOS")
microdisplays, active matrix electroluminescence and scanning image systems,
and
transmissive active matrix LCDs. Our competitive position could be damaged
if
one or more of our competitors’ products get to the market sooner than our
products. We cannot assure you that our product will get to market ahead of
our
competitors or that we will be able to compete successfully against current
and
future competition. The failure to do so would have a materially adverse effect
upon our business, operating results and financial condition.
Our
competitors have many advantages over us.
As
the
microdisplay market develops, we expect to experience intense competition from
numerous domestic and foreign companies including well-established corporations
possessing worldwide manufacturing and production facilities, greater name
recognition, larger retail bases and significantly greater financial, technical,
and marketing resources than us, as well as from emerging companies attempting
to obtain a share of the various markets in which our microdisplay products
have
the potential to compete. We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete
successfully against current and future competition, and the failure to do
so
would have a materially adverse effect upon our business, operating results
and
financial condition.
Our
products are subject to lengthy OEM development periods.
We
plan
to sell most of our microdisplays to OEMs who will incorporate them into
products they sell. OEMs determine during their product development phase
whether they will incorporate our products. The time elapsed between initial
sampling of our products by OEMs, the custom design of our products to meet
specific OEM product requirements, and the ultimate incorporation of our
products into OEM consumer products is significant. If our products fail to
meet
our OEM customers' cost, performance or technical requirements or if unexpected
technical challenges arise in the integration of our products into OEM consumer
products, our operating results could be significantly and adversely affected.
Long delays in achieving customer qualification and incorporation of our
products could adversely affect our business.
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.
22
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.
23
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.
Our
business is subject to environmental regulations and possible liability arising
from potential employee claims of exposure to harmful substances used in the
development and manufacture of our products.
We
are
subject to various governmental regulations related to toxic, volatile,
experimental and other hazardous chemicals used in our design and manufacturing
process. Our failure to comply with these regulations could result in the
imposition of fines or in the suspension or cessation of our operations.
Compliance with these regulations could require us to acquire costly equipment
or to incur other significant expenses. We develop, evaluate and utilize new
chemical compounds in the manufacture of our products. While we attempt to
ensure that our employees are protected from exposure to hazardous materials,
we
cannot assure you that potentially harmful exposure will not occur or that
we
will not be liable to employees as a result.
RISKS
RELATED TO OUR STOCK
The
substantial number of shares that are or will be eligible for sale could cause
our common stock price to decline even if the company is successful.
Sales
of
significant amounts of common stock in the public market, or the perception
that
such sales may occur, could materially affect the market price of our common
stock. These sales might also make it more difficult for us to sell equity
or
equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem
appropriate. As of March 17, 2006, we have outstanding (i) options to purchase
18,423,236 shares and (ii) warrants to purchase 26,197,247 shares of common
stock.
We
have a staggered board of directors and other anti-takeover provisions, which
could inhibit potential investors or delay or prevent a change of control that
may favor you.
Our
Board
of Directors is divided into three classes and our Board members are elected
for
terms that are staggered. This could discourage the efforts by others to obtain
control of the company. Some of the provisions of our certificate of
incorporation, our bylaws and Delaware law could, together or separately,
discourage potential acquisition proposals or delay or prevent a change in
control. In particular, our board of directors is authorized to issue up to
10,000,000 shares of preferred stock (less any outstanding shares of preferred
stock) with rights and privileges that might be senior to our common stock,
without the consent of the holders of the common stock.
On
February 14, 2006, we issued options to purchase an aggregate of 60,000 shares
of common stock at a price equal to $0.46 per share to a director as
compensation for services performed on our behalf as his capacity as director
of
our company.
On
March
14, 2006, we issued options to purchase an aggregate of 1,020,000 shares of
common stock at a price equal to $0.55 per share to employees as compensation
for services performed on behalf of our company.
*All
of
the above issuance 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.
