Note 1:   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 

The Business 

eMagin Corporation (the “Company”) designs, develops, manufactures, and markets OLED (organic light emitting diode) on silicon microdisplays and virtual imaging products which utilize OLED microdisplays. The Company’s products are sold mainly in North America, Asia, and Europe. 

Basis of Presentation 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of eMagin Corporation and its subsidiary reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. 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 instructions, rules and regulations prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The Company believes that the disclosures provided herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading when these unaudited 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, 2014.  The results of operations for the period ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The consolidated condensed financial statements of December 31, 2014 are derived from audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. 

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 related to, among others, allowance for doubtful accounts, warranty reserves, inventory reserves, stock-based compensation expense, deferred tax asset valuation allowances, litigation and other loss contingencies. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 

Revenue and Cost Recognition  

Revenue on product sales is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, such as when a purchase order or contract is received from the customer, the price is fixed, title and risk of loss to the goods has changed and there is a reasonable assurance of collection of the sales proceeds. We obtain written purchase authorizations from our customers for a specified amount of product at a specified price and consider delivery to have occurred at the time of shipment.

Revenues from research and development activities relating to firm fixed-price contracts and cost-type contracts are generally recognized on the percentage-of-completion method of accounting as costs are incurred (cost-to-cost basis). Progress is generally based on a cost-to-cost approach however an alternative method may be used such as physical progress, labor hours or others depending on the type of contract. Physical progress is determined as a combination of input and output measures as deemed appropriate by the circumstances. Contract costs include all direct material, labor and subcontractor 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.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” requiring an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The updated standard will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective and permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. In July 2015, the FASB voted to defer the effective date for annual reporting periods beginning after December, 15, 2017 (including interim reporting periods within those periods) and permitted early adoption of the standard, but not before the original effective date of December 15, 2016. The Company expects the updated standard to become effective for it in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. It has not yet selected a transition method and the Company is currently evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-05 “Customer's Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement”, which provides specific guidance on the recognition of fees paid by a customer for cloud computing arrangements as either the acquisition of a software license or a service contract. This standard is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after Dec. 15, 2015. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Investments 

Investments consist of FDIC-insured certificates of deposit (“CDs”) which are classified as held-to-maturity since the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold them until maturity. The CDs are carried at cost which approximates fair value.  As of June 30, 2015, all investments had matured.

Unbilled Accounts Receivable

Unbilled accounts receivable represents contract revenue recognized but not yet invoiced due to contract terms or the timing of the accounting invoicing cycle.

Intangible Assets – Patents

Acquired patents are recorded at purchase price as of the date acquired and amortized over the expected useful life which is generally the remaining life of the patent. In 2014, the Company purchased several patents for $290 thousand which are being amortized over their remaining useful lives. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, intangible assets were $355 thousand less accumulated amortization of $83 thousand and $54 thousand, respectively. As of June 30, 2015, the weighted average remaining useful life of these patents was approximately 6.5 years.

The total intangible amortization expense was approximately $14 thousand and $29 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, and $1 thousand and $2 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. Estimated future amortization expense as of June 30, 2015 is as follows (in thousands):

Product warranty

The Company offers a one-year product replacement warranty. In general, the standard policy is to repair or replace the defective products. The Company accrues for estimated returns of defective products at the time revenue is recognized based on historical activity as well as for specific known product issues. The determination of these accruals requires the Company to make estimates of the frequency and extent of warranty activity and estimate future costs to replace the products under warranty. If the actual warranty activity and/or repair and replacement costs differ significantly from these estimates, adjustments to cost of revenue may be required in future periods.

The following table provides a summary of the activity related to the Company's warranty liability included in other current liabilities, (in thousands):

Net Income (Loss) per Common Share  

Basic income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, and excludes any dilutive effects of common stock equivalent shares, such as stock options, warrants, and convertible preferred stock. Diluted income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and potentially dilutive common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common stock equivalent shares are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive. 

The Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred stock (“Preferred Stock – Series B”) is considered a participating security as the preferred stock participates in dividends with the common stock, which requires the use of the two-class method when computing basic and diluted earnings per share.  The Preferred Stock – Series B is not required to absorb any net loss. Though the Company paid a one-time special dividend in 2012, the Company does not expect to continue to pay dividends on its common or preferred stock in the near future.  

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share (in thousands, except per share and per share data) for the six months ended June 30, 2015:

For the three months ended June 30, 2015 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company reported a net loss and as a result, basic and diluted net loss per common share are the same. Therefore, in calculating net loss per share amounts, shares underlying the potentially dilutive common stock equivalents were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per common share because their effect was anti-dilutive. The following is a table of the potentially dilutive common stock equivalents for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 that were not included in diluted EPS as their effect would be anti-dilutive:

Note 2: Accounts Receivable, net 

The majority of the Company’s commercial accounts receivable are due from Original Equipment Manufacturers ("OEM’s”). Credit is extended based on an evaluation of a customer’s financial condition and, generally, collateral is not required.  

Accounts receivable consisted of the following (in thousands):

Note 3:  Inventories, net 

The components of inventories are as follows (in thousands): 

Note 4:  Line of Credit 

At June 30, 2015, the Company had a credit facility with Access Business Finance, LLC (“Access”) under which the Company may borrow up to a maximum of $3 million based on a borrowing base equivalent of 75% of eligible accounts receivable.  The terms are: interest rate is Prime plus 4% but not less than 7.25%, the minimum monthly interest payment is $1,000 and the early termination fee is $6,000.  The renewal date of the line of credit is September 1, 2015.  The Company’s obligations under the credit facility are secured by its assets. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company had not borrowed on its line of credit.

Note 5:  Stock-based Compensation 

The Company uses the fair value method of accounting for share-based compensation arrangements. The fair value of stock options is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model.  Stock-based compensation expense is reduced for estimated forfeitures and is amortized over the vesting period using the straight-line method. 

The following table summarizes the allocation of non-cash stock-based compensation to our expense categories for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 (in thousands): 

At June 30, 2015, total unrecognized compensation costs related to stock options was approximately $0.3 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 2.4 years.   

The following key assumptions were used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options granted: 

The Company does not expect to pay dividends in the near future. Therefore the Company used an expected dividend yield of 0%.  The risk-free interest rate used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model is based on the implied yield at the time of grant 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 equivalent term.  The expected term of options represents the period that the Company’s stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding and was determined based on historical experience and vesting schedules of similar awards. 

A summary of the Company’s stock option activity for the six months ended June 30, 2015 is presented in the following table (unaudited): 

(1) The expected to vest options are the result of applying the pre-vesting forfeiture rate assumptions to total unvested 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 three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised was approximately $442 thousand and $486 thousand, respectively.   The Company issues new shares of common stock upon exercise of stock options.

Note 6:  Shareholders’ Equity 

Preferred Stock - Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“the Preferred Stock – Series B”) 

As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, there were 5,659 shares of Preferred Stock – Series B issued and outstanding. 

Common Stock 

The Company received approximately $245 thousand and $266 thousand for the exercise of 232,651 and 254,351 stock options in the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, and received approximately $7 thousand and $72 thousand for the exercise of 6,080 and 67,363 stock options in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. There were no warrants exercised in the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company received approximately $1.0 million for the exercise of 1 million warrants.

Note 7:  Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate is calculated quarterly based upon current assumptions relating to the full year’s estimated operating results and various tax-related items. The Company’s effective tax rate for the six month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was 0%.  The difference between the effective tax rate of 0% and the U.S. federal statutory rate of 34% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was primarily due to recognizing a full valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. The difference between the effective tax rate of 0% and the U.S. federal statutory rate of 34% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was primarily due to the change in the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

At December 31, 2014, the Company determined that based on all available evidence, both positive and negative, and based on the weight of the available evidence, including the Company’s 2014 operating loss and projected cumulative loss through 2015, it was more likely than not that none of its deferred tax assets would be realized and therefore, continued to record a full valuation allowance. Though the Company had operating income for the six month period ended June 30, 2015, it is projecting a cumulative loss through 2015 and it is still more likely than not that none of its deferred tax assets would be realized therefore, the Company continued to record a full valuation allowance. The Company’s net operating loss carry forward amounts substantially expire by 2028.

Due to the Company’s operating loss carryforwards, all tax years remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject. In the event that the Company is assessed interest or penalties at some point in the future, it will be classified in the financial statements as tax expense.  

Note 8:  Commitments and Contingencies 

Operating Leases 

The Company leases office facilities and office, lab and factory equipment under operating leases.  Certain leases provide for payments of monthly operating expenses. The Company currently has lease commitments for space in Hopewell Junction, New York and Santa Clara, California.   

The Company’s corporate and manufacturing facilities are leased from IBM in Hopewell Junction, New York.  The Company leases approximately 37,000 square feet to house its equipment for OLED microdisplay fabrication and for research and development, an assembly area and administrative offices. The lease expires May 31, 2019. The Company leases approximately 1,800 square feet of office space for design and product development in Santa Clara, California with the lease expiring October 31, 2015. The Company leases approximately 1,500 square feet on a month-to-month basis in Bellevue, Washington.

Rent expense was approximately $233 thousand and $465 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, and $287 thousand and $589 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively.   

Equipment Purchase Commitments 

The Company has committed to equipment purchases of approximately $0.3 million at June 30, 2015.

Future Sales Concessions

In the first quarter of 2014, the Company received a notification to stop shipments to three of its customers regarding a possible wire bonding problem in some of the microdisplays shipped to these customers. Shipments to two of the three customers resumed in 2014. As the third customer (“this Customer”) was not interested in continuing to use eMagin’s standard commercial microdisplay which was originally shipped, eMagin has been working, at this Customer’s request, on a more mechanically robust display configuration. This Customer provided a proposal to eMagin which the Company countered with a proposal that provided concessions to this Customer predicated on future business. To date, there is no executed agreement. However, it is more likely than not that ultimately there will be a final proposal with acceptance of some concessions. It is reasonably possible that eMagin will incur a future loss once the terms of the proposal are finalized.

Litigation

From time to time, the Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues for losses related to ligation when a potential loss is probable and the loss can be reasonably estimated. Significant judgment is required to determine the probability that a liability has been incurred and whether such liability is reasonably estimable. All estimates are based on the best information available at the time which can be highly subjective. At this time, Management believes that a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements from known pending litigation is not probable.

On May 5, 2015, Kimchuk, Inc. (“Kimchuk”), a former supplier of eMagin (the “Company”), commenced action against the Company in the U.S. District Court, District of Connecticut, asserting breach of contract and seeking to recover approximately $389,000 in alleged damages. The Company filed its response and counter-complaint on August 11, 2015 wherein the Company denied the material allegations asserted by Kimchuk and seeks approximately $3.5 million in damages from Kimchuk.  The Company intends to vigorously defend this matter.   Given the preliminary nature of this matter, it is too early to predict the probability of the outcome.

Note 9:  Concentrations  

The following is a schedule of revenue by geographic location (in thousands): 

The following table represents the domestic and international revenues as a percentage of total net revenues:

The Company purchases principally all of its silicon wafers from a single supplier located in Taiwan.

For the three months ended June 30, 2015, there were three customers that accounted for 32% of its net revenue and for the six months ended June 30, 2015, there were two customers that accounted for 24% of its net revenue. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, there was one customer that accounted for 18% and 12%, respectively, of its net revenue. As of June 30, 2015, one customer accounted for 12% of its accounts receivable.

Overview 

In the second quarter, eMagin continued deliveries of our display products to over 75 different customers worldwide and performed R&D contract services for 5 customers. We continued work on several important R&D contracts that will further enhance our technology and development of new processes that provide ultra-high brightness displays, an important attribute for applications that are used in direct sunlight or daylight such as wearable personal headsets and avionic head mounted displays (“HMDs”). Our technical team successfully produced and delivered ultra-high brightness and resolution prototype displays that are now being tested by and demonstrated to additional potential customers. Our team’s efforts on the new immersive, virtual reality HMD continues, gathering input from real world users that will enable us to provide the ultimate VR experience on the market.  

As a result of the status of the business, our R&D contract outlook and expected demand for our state-of-the-art microdisplays, we reaffirm our previous guidance that we anticipate 2015 revenues will total between $26 million and $29 million.

Financial Results

In the second quarter, revenues increased to approximately $7.0 million from approximately $6.0 million last quarter, equaling the $7.0 million in second quarter last year. R&D contract revenues rose from approximately $62,000 in Q2 2014 to $1.6 million as we continued to make progress on our R&D contract work. Product revenues (mostly display sales) increased to $5.4 million from $5.1 million last quarter but decreased from approximately $6.9 million in second quarter last year. Gross margin improved to 37% in second quarter from 31% in second quarter last year. The increase in gross margin was the result of lower manufacturing costs. Operating expenses also decreased to $2.6 million in second quarter from $3.2 million in second quarter last year. The decrease in operating expenses was due to a cost reduction program implemented in mid-2014 and a decrease in the allowance for doubtful accounts. Operating expenses did increase from first quarter 2015 due primarily to the adjustment to the allowance for doubtful accounts that reduced first quarter operating expense by $0.4 million. Second quarter 2015 operating loss was $60,000 and 0 cents per share in the second quarter, an improvement over an operating loss of $1.0 million or 4 cents per share in second quarter last year.

New Business

In Q2, we had one of our highest quarters for display order bookings in the Company’s history.   In addition, three out of the top five order bookings were for displays that will be used in new products.  Some of the new Q2 order bookings include:

We also delivered display subsystems to DARPA for their Computational Weapon Optic program and participated in a live fire VIP demo for the “Smart Scope” that came out of that effort. 

Lastly, Dr. Amal Ghosh, our SVP of R&D and the president of the Society for Informational Displays (SID), delivered the opening address at Display Week 2015 and Dr. Margaret Kohin, SVP of Business Development, delivered a keynote address at the SID Wearable-Flexible Market Focus conference on what we have learned about transitioning from head mounted displays for avionics to consumer headsets.

New Technology Development

During the second quarter significant progress was made towards developing a higher efficiency OLED device stack that would allow the directly patterned displays to have higher maximum brightness and longer lifetime at the nominal brightness. Work towards development of the directly patterned displays is progressing at good pace. All U.S. Government funded programs are making progress and are on schedule.   

New Product Development

The qualification of the new SXGA120 microdisplay was completed by the end of June 2015. Production deliveries were started during the second quarter. Engineering samples of the SXGA096 Color XLS were delivered to lead customers and qualification testing was started. Production qualification of the SXGA096 Color XLS is expected to be completed during the third quarter.

In the second quarter, our new immersive VR HMD begins to take its first steps towards full productization.  Reviews of the product specification, industrial design, optics and electronics are getting started with the goal of ensuring its suitability for volume production.   Work will also begin on enhancing the existing prototypes to make them ready for a possible appearance at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES2016) in January.  The headset features 2,000 by 2,000 pixel resolution, a superior form factor, and a wide 100+ degree field of view and has all the outstanding advantages of eMagin’s OLED microdisplays. The HMD team continues to demonstrate the headset at conferences and press interviews and to potential partners and is receiving positive reviews.

At July 31, 2015, we had a total of 83 employees, of which 76 were full-time employees as compared to a total of 84 employees, of which 76 were full-time employees at December 31, 2014.  

A detailed discussion of our business may be found in Part I, “Business,” of our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 13, 2015. 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

Revenue and Cost Recognition  

Revenue on product sales is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, such as when a purchase order or contract is received from the customer, the price is fixed, title and risk of loss to the goods has changed and there is a reasonable assurance of collection of the sales proceeds. We obtain written purchase authorizations from our customers for a specified amount of product at a specified price and consider delivery to have occurred at the time of shipment.

Revenues from research and development activities relating to firm fixed-price contracts and cost-type contracts are generally recognized on the percentage-of-completion method of accounting as costs are incurred (cost-to-cost basis). Progress is generally based on a cost-to-cost approach however an alternative method may be used such as physical progress, labor hours or others depending on the type of contract. Physical progress is determined as a combination of input and output measures as deemed appropriate by the circumstances. Contract costs include all direct material, labor and subcontractor 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.

Intangible Assets – Patents

Intangible assets are comprised of patents, net of amortization. Acquired patents are recorded at purchase price as of the date acquired and amortized over the expected useful life which is generally the remaining life of the patent.

Income Taxes 

Our deferred tax assets and their potential realizability are evaluated each quarter to determine if any changes should be made to the valuation allowance.  At December 31, 2014, we had determined that based on all available evidence, both positive and negative, and based on the weight of the available evidence, including our 2014 operating loss and projected cumulative loss through 2015, it was more likely than not that none of our deferred tax assets would be realized and therefore, recorded a full valuation allowance. Though we had operating income for the six month period ended June 30, 2015, we are still projecting a cumulative loss through 2015, and it is still more likely than not that none of our deferred tax assets would be realized therefore, we continued to record a full valuation allowance.

Other critical accounting policies, as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, relate to product warranty, use of estimates, fair value of financial instruments and stock-based compensation, and additional information on accounting for income taxes. 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 

THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2015 COMPARED TO THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2014

Revenues 

Revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 were approximately $7.0 million and $13.0 million, respectively, as compared to approximately $7.0 million and $13.3 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.  

Product revenue is comprised primarily of sales of displays, as well as sales of other hardware. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, product revenue decreased approximately $1.5 million and $2.7 million, respectively, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 due primarily to fewer display shipments.

Contract revenue is comprised of revenue from research and development (“R&D”) or non-recurring engineering (“NRE”) contracts. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, contract revenue increased approximately $1.5 million and $2.4 million, respectively, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase in the R&D contract revenue for the three and six months was primarily due to more active R&D contracts and more contract work completed.

Cost of Goods Sold 

Cost of goods sold is comprised of costs of product and contract revenues.  Cost of product revenue includes materials, labor and manufacturing overhead, warranty costs and depreciation related to our products.  Cost of contract revenue includes direct and allocated indirect costs associated with performance of contracts.  Cost of goods sold for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 decreased approximately $0.4 million and $1.1 million, respectively. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenues was 63% and 62%, respectively, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015 as compared to 69% for both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014. The decrease in cost of goods sold was due to lower manufacturing costs including lower direct labor.

The following table outlines product, contract and total gross profit and related gross margins for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 (dollars in thousands): 

The gross profit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 increased approximately $0.4 million and $0.9 million, respectively.   Gross profit is a function of revenues less cost of goods sold. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the gross margin was 37% and 38%, respectively, as compared to 31% for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.  The increase in total gross profit was due to the large increase in contract gross profit and to lower manufacturing costs.

The product gross profit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 decreased approximately $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively.  Product gross margin was 35% and 37%, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 up from 30% and 31%, respectively, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014.   The increase in gross margin was due to lower manufacturing costs.

The contract gross profit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 increased approximately $0.6 million and $1.0 million, respectively.  Contract gross margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 decreased to 44% and 41%, respectively from 82% and 68%, respectively, for the same three and six month periods in 2014. The decrease in gross margin percentage was due to the nature of both the individual contracts and the work completed on each of them during the quarter. Gross profit for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015 was approximately $0.7 million and $1.0 million as compared to $0.05 million for both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, a significant increase.

Operating Expenses 

Research and Development.  Research and development (“R&D”) expenses are company-funded and include salaries and related benefits, development materials and other costs specifically allocated to the development of new technologies and microdisplay products, OLED materials and subsystems.  R&D related costs associated with fulfilling contracts are categorized as contract cost of goods sold. R&D expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 decreased approximately $0.4 million or 28% and $0.9 million or 32%, respectively, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. Research and development expenses as a percentage of revenues was 13% and 14%, respectively, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015 as compared to 18% and 20% for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, respectively. The decrease in company-funded R&D expenses was primarily due to the utilization of R&D personnel in performing funded R&D contract work which lowered internal company-funded R&D expense.

Selling, General and Administrative.  Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses consist principally of salaries and related benefits, professional services fees and marketing, general corporate, and administrative expenses.  Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three ended June 30, 2015 decreased approximately $0.2 million or 10% and $1.2 million or 29% as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenues was 25% and 22%, respectively, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015 as compared to 28% and 30% for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, respectively. The decrease in SG&A was due primarily to lower personnel and stock-based compensation expenses and a reduction in the allowance for doubtful accounts.

Other Income (Expense), net.  Other income (expense), net consists primarily of interest income earned on investments, interest expense and gain/loss on sale of assets. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015, interest expense was approximately $11 thousand and $21 thousand, respectively, as compared to $10 thousand and $21 thousand, respectively, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014.  We have no debt upon which we are incurring interest expense however we pay fees to keep our line of credit available. Other income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 was approximately $2 thousand and $3 thousand, respectively, of interest income and approximately $3 thousand of other income for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 where interest income was approximately $6 thousand and $11 thousand, respectively, and other income was approximately $2 thousand and $3 thousand, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources  

We had approximately $5.4 million of cash, cash equivalents, and investments at June 30, 2015 as compared to approximately $6.0 million at December 31, 2014.

Cash flow used by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2015 was approximately $0.3 million, attributable to the net change in operating assets and liabilities of $1.1 million offset by our net income of approximately $0.3 million and net non-cash expenses of $0.5 million. Cash flow used by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2014 was approximately $6.1 million, attributable to our net loss of approximately $2.7 million and change in operating assets and liabilities of $4.9 million of which accounts receivable was a change of approximately $1.7 million and net inventories was approximately $2.4 million offset by our net non-cash expenses of $1.5 million.

Cash provided by investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2015 was approximately $0.2 million which net short-term investments proceeds were approximately $0.7 million offset primarily by equipment purchases of approximately $0.5 million. Presently, we have committed approximately $0.3 million for capital expenditures for the balance of 2015. Cash provided by investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2014 was approximately $3.0 million of which net short-term investments proceeds were approximately $3.5 million offset by primarily equipment purchases of approximately $0.5 million.

Cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2015 was approximately $0.3 million representing proceeds from stock option exercises as compared to approximately $1.1 million from stock option and warrant exercises during the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Credit Facility 

At June 30, 2015, we had a credit facility with Access Business Finance, LLC (“Access”) that provides for up to a maximum amount of $3 million based on a borrowing base equivalent of 75% of eligible accounts receivable. The interest on the credit facility is equal to the Prime Rate plus 4% but may not be less than 7.25% with a minimum monthly interest payment of $1 thousand. The credit facility will automatically renew on September 1, 2015 for a one year term unless written notice is provided. We did not draw on our credit facility during the six months ended June 30, 2015 or at any time since its inception in September 2010 and there is no outstanding balance.  

The credit facility contains the customary representations and warranties as well as affirmative and negative covenants. We were in compliance with all debt covenants as of June 30, 2015. 

Our cash needs to fund our operations and investment requirements over the next twelve months may be more than our current cash on hand, investments and the cash we anticipate generating from operations.  We may not require additional funds over the next twelve months. If we do require additional funds, we believe we can raise sufficient funds. However, if we are unable to obtain sufficient funds, we may have to reduce the size of our organization and/or be forced to reduce and/or curtail our production and operations, all of which could have a material adverse impact on our business prospects. 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements 

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.

Interest rate risk

We hold our cash in cash and cash equivalents and certificates of deposits.   We do not hold derivative financial instruments or equity securities.   At June 30, 2015, we have not drawn on our revolving line of credit and therefore do not have any related interest rate risk. A change in interest rates would not have had a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows in the three and six months ended June 30, 2015.

Foreign currency exchange rate risk

We do not have any material foreign currency exchange rate risk.

ITEM 4.  Controls and Procedures 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures 

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of our disclosure control system are met. Because of inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within a company have been detected. Based on our evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION 

ITEM 1.  Legal Proceedings

(“Kimchuk”), a former supplier of eMagin (the “Company”), commenced action against the Company in the U.S. District Court, District of Connecticut, asserting breach of contract and seeking to recover approximately $389,000 in alleged damages. The Company filed its response and counter-complaint on August 11, 2015 wherein the Company denied the material allegations asserted by Kimchuk and seeks approximately $3.5 million in damages from Kimchuk.  The Company intends to vigorously defend this matter.   Given the preliminary nature of this matter, it is too early to predict the probability of the outcome.
