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, 2015.  The results of operations for the period ended June 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.  The consolidated condensed financial statements as of December 31, 2015 are derived from audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. 

 

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 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. 



Reclassifications



Certain immaterial prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation with no impact on previously reported net income, assets or shareholders’ equity.



Revenues and Cost Recognition 

  

Revenues from product sales are 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.



---

 

Revenues from sales or licenses of intellectual property are recognized when transferred to the customer, provided the license has stand-alone value and the contract provides the right to use the intellectual property as it exists at the point the license is granted, without further obligations of the Company to update the intellectual property after the license is transferred.  If the license does not have standalone value, then the license is combined with other deliverables, such as Research and Development (“R&D”) or manufacturing services into a single unit of account.  Revenue from the single unit of account is recognized when earned, typically as the R&D or manufacturing services are performed over the life of the contract.



Recently issued accounting standards



In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance which changes the accounting for share-based payment transactions including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The guidance is effective January 1, 2017 and early adoption is permitted.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance.



In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance which changes the accounting for leases. The guidance requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term and, a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases). The guidance is effective January 1, 2019 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance and the date of adoption. The Company’s operating lease commitments were $3.2 million at December 31, 2015. 



In November 2015, the FASB issued guidance which requires deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in the statement of financial position. This guidance requires entities with a classified balance sheet to present all deferred tax assets and liabilities as non-current. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and can be applied prospectively or retrospectively to adjustments with early adoption permitted at the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The Company does not expect the adoption of the new accounting guidance to have a material impact on its financial statements.



In July 2015, the FASB issued guidance on the measurement of inventory, which requires that inventory be measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value.   The updated standard should be adopted prospectively and is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim periods therein) beginning after December 15, 2016 with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of the new accounting guidance to have a material impact on its financial statements.



In April 2015, the FASB issued guidance about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, then the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a services contract. All software licenses recognized under this guidance will be accounted for consistent with other licenses of intangible assets. The guidance was effective January 1, 2016 and the Company adopted it on a prospective basis. The guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.



In November 2014, the FASB issued guidance to eliminate the diversity in practice for the accounting for hybrid financial instruments issued in the form of a share.  The guidance requires management to consider all terms and features, whether stated or implied, of a hybrid instrument when determining whether the nature of the instrument is more akin to a debt instrument or an equity instrument. Embedded derivative features, which are accounted for separately from host contracts, should also be considered in the analysis of the hybrid instrument. The Company adopted the guidance effective January 1, 2016 and it did not have an impact on its financial statements.



In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance on the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers, which will require 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. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (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. The Company has not yet selected a transition method and is currently evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on its financial statements.

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.   



The total intangible amortization expense was approximately $13 thousand and $27 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively.  Estimated future amortization expense as of June 30, 2016 is as follows (in thousands):







Product warranty

 

The Company generally offers a one-year product replacement warranty. 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 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. Although the Company paid a one-time special dividend in 2012, the Company does not expect 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 share data) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015:











The following table sets forth the potentially dilutive common stock equivalents for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 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 

 

On September 1, 2015, the Company renewed its credit facility with is existing lender, 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 on outstanding borrowings is Prime plus 4% but not less than 7.25%, the minimum monthly interest payment of $1,000 and early termination fee of $6,000.  The Company is in discussions with its lender regarding possible modifications to the credit facility and the parties have agreed that an automatic renewal provision originally scheduled on September 1, 2016 is no longer in effect.  The Company’s obligations under the credit facility are secured by its assets.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company had not drawn 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, 2016 and 2015 (in thousands): 





  

At June 30, 2016, total unrecognized compensation costs related to stock options was approximately  $0.2  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 1.5 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 yield available at dates of option grant, 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 the 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, 2016 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, 2016, there were no options exercised.   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, 2016 and December 31, 2015, there were 5,659 shares of Preferred Stock – Series B  issued and outstanding. 



Common Stock 



There were no stock options or warrants exercised during the three or six month periods ended June 30, 2016. 



Warrants



At June 30, 2016, there were 2.6 million warrants to purchase shares of common stock outstanding and exercisable at an exercise price of $2.05 with an expiration date of June 23, 2021. 



  

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 three month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was 0%.  The difference between the effective tax rate of 0% and the U.S. federal statutory rate of 34% for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was primarily due to recognizing a full valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.  



As of June 30, 2016, the Company determined that based on all available evidence, both positive and negative, including the Company’s latest forecasts and cumulative losses in recent years, it was more likely than not that none of its deferred tax assets would be realized and therefore it continued to record a full valuation allowance.  



The Company’s net operating loss carry forward amounts expire through 2037 and are subject to certain limitations that may occur due to change in ownership provisions under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code and similar state provisions.



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 

 

Equipment Purchase Commitments 

  

The Company has committed to equipment purchases of approximately $0.8 million at June 30, 2016.



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 that included concessions to this Customer predicated on future business.  On June 16, 2016, the Company obtained a formal release from this Customer for any future concessions and from any liabilities or obligations arising from the matter.



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 litigation 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.



On May 5, 2015, Kimchuk, Inc. (“Kimchuk”), a former supplier, 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 sought approximately $3.5 million in damages from Kimchuk.  On June 1, 2016, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Kimchuk whereby, for consideration of approximately $227,000, Kimchuk agreed to dismiss the matter, provide parts and material to eMagin and settle outstanding accounts payable.  The Company recorded an accrual for the litigation in the quarter ended September 30, 2015, and did not incur any additional settlement expense during the current quarter ended June 30, 2016 associated with the matter.

Business



eMagin Corporation is headquartered in Hopewell Junction, NY and was incorporated in the state of Delaware in 1996.  We are the leader in OLED (organic light emitting diode)  microdisplay technology, OLED microdisplay manufacturing know-how and mobile display systems. eMagin manufactures high-resolution OLED microdisplays and integrates them with magnifying optics to deliver virtual images comparable to large-screen computer and television displays in portable, low-power, lightweight personal displays. eMagin microdisplays provide near-eye imagery in a variety of products from military, industrial, medical and consumer OEMs.  The Company is expanding its product base to include handheld and wearable products for the consumer markets.



We derive the majority of our revenue from sales of our OLED microdisplay products which we manufacture in our Hopewell Junction, NY clean rooms and manufacturing facility. We also earn revenue from government and commercial development contracts that may complement and support our internal research and development programs. In addition, we generate sales from optics and microdisplays combined with optics. 



The Company’s stock is traded on the NYSE under the symbol EMAN.

 

Overview 



In the second quarter, eMagin delivered display products to over 72 customers in 23 countries and performed R&D contract services for 4 customers.  Over the first six months of 2016, eMagin grew its active global customer base by over 10%.  Towards the end of the second quarter, the Company’s production and sales volume were hampered by the breakdown of a major piece of equipment.  The replacement of the machine was contemplated in the capital raise in December 2015 and the order was placed in the first quarter 2016.  In light of the time required to design, build and qualify the custom-built machine to our unique manufacturing processes, we do not anticipate that it will enter production until fourth quarter of 2016.  The original machine has been repaired and is currently in operation.  As a result of the production issue combined with committed machine time dedicated to scheduled R&D work, the volume of production during the second quarter was lower than planned and the previous quarter, resulting in higher unit costs and a lower profit margin on display sales.





Despite the equipment breakdown in the second quarter, the Company continues to make progress on its multi-year yield improvement initiative by strengthening production resources, making key process engineering hires, and ordering production equipment with the objectives of achieving greater efficiencies, lower unit costs and higher production capacity. This initiative will

position us to meet customer demand and provide better response time to customer orders.



During the first six months of 2016, and accelerating during the second quarter, the Company has been developing handheld and wearable products for the consumer markets and has been working with suppliers and contract manufacturers to establish the supply chain. Two products are scheduled for release to the marketplace during fourth quarter 2016.  The wearable devices will utilize eMagin’s advanced OLED microdisplay technology to deliver an extraordinary user experience at an attractive price.  During the second quarter the Company incurred expenses associated with the development of these products and utilized working capital to fund the buildup of inventory and pay amounts to contract manufacturers, vendors and third party logistic providers in anticipation of the products’ release.  The development expenses and working capital expenditures are expected to continue in the third quarter.





New Business



In the second quarter, the Company achieved the following new business highlights:





New Technology Development



We are making steady progress in our development of very high brightness full-color microdisplays. Our recent improvements and optimization of the processes have led to a brightness level that crosses the luminence threshold for military see-through and many consumer applications including augmented reality.



During the second quarter we continued to advance our ultra-high brightness color display technology with a second-generation WUXGA (1920 x 1200 resolution) full color display that can show pictures or video at a brightness of over 4,000 nits (cd/meter squared).  These displays are particularly well suited for augmented and virtual reality applications and for aviation.  They were completed during the second quarter and engineering samples are being provided to select consumer and military prime contractors for evaluation.



New Product Development



Our product development efforts on the 2K x 2K display project that was initiated in the fourth quarter of 2015 continued in the current quarter.  This project is on track to produce engineering samples for select customers beginning in the fourth quarter including the customer with whom we entered into the license agreement in December 2015.  General availability is scheduled for the first quarter of 2017.



Additionally, we are investigating the development of a prototype display that is 35 x 35 millimeters with a resolution of up to 4,000 x 4,000 pixels. We are working with potential partners interested in developing and supporting the infrastructure needed to productize the display, and will bring the proposed design to several commercial customers who are seeking displays of this size and features.



Employees



At July 31, 2016 we had a total of 89 employees, of whom 85 were full-time employees, as compared to a total of 88 employees, of whom 85 were full-time employees, at December 31, 2015.   

 

A detailed discussion of our business and operations may be found in Part I, “Business,” of our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, and as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 17, 2016. 



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 or determinable, title and risk of loss to the goods has transferred 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.



Revenues from sales or licenses of intellectual property is recognized when transferred to the customer, provided the license has stand-alone value and the contract provides the right to use the intellectual property as it exists at the point the license is granted, without further obligations by the Company to update the intellectual property after the license is transferred.  If the license does not have standalone value, then the license is combined with other deliverables, such as R&D or manufacturing services into a single unit of account.  Revenue from the single unit of account is recognized when earned, typically as the R&D or manufacturing services are performed over the life of the contract





Income Taxes 

 

We evaluate out deferred tax assets and their potential realizability each quarter to determine if we should make  any changes to the valuation allowance.  As of June 30, 2016,  we determined that based on all available evidence, both positive and negative, including the Company’s latest forecasts and cumulative losses in recent years, it was more likely than not that none of our deferred tax assets would be realized and 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, 2015, 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 MONTHS AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2016 COMPARED TO THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED, JUNE 30, 2015



Revenues 





Revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 were approximately $5.5 million and $12.5 million respectively,  as compared to approximately $7.0 million and $13.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30 2015.     

 

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, 2016, product revenue decreased by $0.6 million and $0.5 million, respectively, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. The decrease in display revenues in the second quarter 2016 of $0.6 million was primarily due to lower demand from maturing military programs, less availability of product late in the quarter due to the equipment failure noted above and a larger proportion of sales of displays with a lower average unit price.

 

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, 2016, contract revenue decreased approximately $0.9 million and $1.0 million, respectively, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2015.  The decrease in the R&D contract revenue was primarily due to the extensive work performed on the ManTech contract during the second quarter of 2015 and fewer active contracts during the three month and six months ended June 30, 2016.



License revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2016 is comprised of revenue from the sale of a $1.0 million non-exclusive intellectual property licensing agreement for our virtual reality headset technology. The Company expects that the licensee will use eMagin’s 2K x 2K pixel full-color displays in their headsets upon their successful development.



Cost of Revenues





 

Total cost of revenues 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.  Total cost of revenues for each of the three months and six months ended June 30, 2016 decreased by $0.2 million as compared to three and six months ended June 30, 2015.   Total cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues was 76% and 63%, respectively, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2016 as compared to 63%  and 62% for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015.

The following table outlines product, contract and license total gross profit and related gross margins for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 (dollars in thousands): 









Total gross profit is a function of revenues less cost of revenues.  The total gross profit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 decreased $1.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 reflecting lower product revenue in 2016, partially offset by $1.0 million in license revenue that had no associated current years cost that was recognized in the first quarter of 2016.  For the three months ended June 30, 2016, the total gross margin decreased to 24% as compared to 37% for the prior year period.  The gross margin of 37% for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was comparable to the gross margin of 38% for the first six months of 2015.

 

The product gross profit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, decreased $0.9 million and $1.0 million respectively as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2015.    Product gross margins of 20% and 30% for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2016, respectively decreased from the prior year periods, due primarily to lower volumes as a result of the equipment failure and higher unit cost of sales associated with spreading fixed production costs over a smaller number of units produced.   



For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 contract gross profit was $0.4 million and $0.7 million, respectively as compared to $0.7 million and $1.0 million, respectively for the comparable 2015 periods.    Reduced contracts gross profit in the 2016 periods were due to reductions in the number of contracts and changes in the nature of both the individual contracts and the work completed during each quarterly period.  



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 revenues.  Increases in R&D expenses on both an absolute and percentage basis, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the prior year periods were primarily due to costs incurred for the development of a consumer product utilizing the Company’s display technology anticipated to launch in the fourth quarter.

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 and six months ended June 30, 2016 increased $0.4 million  and $1.3 million, respectively as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. 



The increases in SG&A for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 over the prior year periods was primarily due to $0.5 million in reversals of allowances for doubtful accounts and vacation accruals in the first quarter of 2015.  In addition, this year’s first and second quarters reflected higher spending for administrative expenses associated with our HMD activities, higher legal expenses and administrative transition costs associated with the effort to consolidate the Company’s finance and procurement functions to our New York location. 



Other Income (Expense), net.  Other income (expense), net consists primarily of interest income earned on cash balances and interest expense.  Other expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, of $6 thousand and $15 thousand, respectively was comparable to the similar 2015 periods.





Liquidity and Capital Resources 



We had approximately $6.1 million of cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2016 as compared to approximately $9.3 million at December 31, 2015. 

 

Cash flow used in operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2016 was approximately $2.7 million, attributable to net loss of $2.2 million partially offset by non-cash expenses of $903 thousand and a net change in operating assets and liabilities of $1.4 million. Cash flow used in operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2015 was approximately $0.3 million.  

 

Cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2016 was approximately $0.5 million related to equipment purchases.   As of June 30, 2016, we had outstanding commitments to purchase approximately $0.8 million in capital expenditures, and expect to make additional capital expenditures during 2016 to improve our manufacturing and R&D capabilities.   Cash provided by investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2015 was approximately $0.2 million of which net short-term investments proceeds were approximately $0.8 million offset by equipment purchases of approximately $0.5 million.  We anticipate continued investment in equipment in support of our yield improvement initiatives and are currently designing with equipment vendors the machines that address our specific production requirements. As a result, we expect continued equipment investment in our production and development activities over the remainder of 2016 and into 2017.



There was no cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to approximately $266 thousand from stock option exercises during the six months ended June 30, 2015.



Credit Facility 

 

At June 30, 2016, we had a credit facility with a lender that provides for up to a maximum of $3 million in borrowings based on 75% of eligible accounts receivable, as defined in the agreement.  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 Company is in discussions with its lender regarding possible modifications to the credit facility and the parties have agreed that an automatic renewal provision originally scheduled on September 1, 2016 is no longer in effect.  We did not draw on our credit facility during the six months ended June 30, 2016 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, 2016. 

 

Our cash needs to fund our operations and investment requirements over the next twelve months may be more than our current cash on hand, and the cash we anticipate generating from operations.  We may require additional funds over the next twelve months and, if so, 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, capital expenditures and operations, all of which could have a material adverse impact on our business prospects.
