(UNAUDITED)
1. Basis
of Presentation
The
consolidated financial statements of the Company for the three-month periods
ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, have been prepared by the Company without audit
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments necessary to present
fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the
Company as of March 31, 2009 and 2008, and for the periods then ended, have been
made. Those adjustments consist of normal and recurring adjustments. The
consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2008, has been
derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of that
date.
Certain
information and note disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted. These consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with a reading of the financial
statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, as filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission.
The
results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009, are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full
year.
2. Supplemental
Cash Flow Information
Cash paid
for interest for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, was $2,785 and
$1,598, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, the
Company had non-cash transactions related to share based payments covered by FAS
123R. These transactions are described in greater detail in Note 4.
3. Stockholders’
Equity
The
Company issued no shares of stock during the three months ended March 31, 2009
or 2008.
4. Share-Based
Payments
Effective
January 1, 2006, the Company adopted FASB Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123R (Revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, which requires that the
compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in
financial statements based on the provisions of SFAS 123 issued in
1995.
The Company recorded $70,647 in
compensation expense in the period ended March 31, 2009, related to options
issued under its stock-based incentive compensation plans. This includes expense
related to both options issued in the current year and options issued in prior
years for which the requisite service period for those options includes the
current year. The fair value of these options was calculated using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model. Information related to the assumptions used
in this model is set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. For options issued in 2009, the same
assumptions were used except that a risk free interest rate of 0.44% was used
and an annualized volatility rate of approximately 95% was used. The period
ended March 31, 2009 also includes $7,478 of expense related to restricted stock
provided to non-employee Directors of the Company as compensation.
The Company recorded $76,968 in
compensation expense in the period ended March 31, 2008, related to options
issued under its stock-based incentive compensation plans and $10,450 of expense
related to restricted stock provided to non-employee Directors of the
Company.

ITEM
2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
The
following is management’s discussion and analysis of certain significant factors
that have affected the Company’s financial position and operating results during
the periods included in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements.
FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS
This Form
10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements that we believe are within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which are intended to be covered by the safe
harbors created by such acts. For this purpose, any statements that are not
statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements,
including the statements under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations" regarding our strategy, future
operations, future expectations or future estimates, financial position and
objectives of management. Those statements in this Form 10-Q containing the
words "believes," "anticipates," "plans," "expects" and similar expressions
constitute forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking
statements contain such identifying words. These forward-looking statements are
based on our current expectations and are subject to a number of risks,
uncertainties and assumptions relating to our operations, results of operations,
competitive factors, shifts in market demand and other risks and
uncertainties.
Although
we believe that the assumptions underlying our forward-looking statements are
reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate and actual results may
differ from those indicated by the forward-looking statements included in this
Form 10-Q. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the
forward-looking statements included in this Form 10-Q, you should not consider
the inclusion of such information as a representation by us or anyone else that
we will achieve such results. Moreover, we assume no obligation to update these
forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions or
changes in other factors affecting such forward-looking statements.
Three
months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008
OVERVIEW
We are
primarily a nanotechnology company engaged in the performance of services and
development of technologies based principally on our intellectual property.
During all periods presented, our primary revenues were earned as a result of
reimbursed research expenditures at our Applied Nanotech, Inc. (“ANI”)
subsidiary. As more fully discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2008, we expect to incur additional research and
development expenses throughout 2009 in developing our technology. We are
focused on licensing our technology and obtaining sufficient revenue to cover
our ongoing research expenditures.
OUTLOOK
We expect
our present cash balances, which are approximately $900,000 as of the date of
this filing, when combined with known revenue sources, to enable us to operate
at least through the end of July 2009, and we expect to sign additional
contracts prior to the end of July which will extend that period further.
We have a plan to achieve profitability in 2009, and that plan anticipated
a loss in the first quarter. A critical component of that plan is the receipt of
license fees – either in the form of an upfront payment, or from ongoing
royalties as a result of product sales by our licensees. We are
currently negotiating a license agreement related to conductive inks that, based
on a commitment from our strategic partner, was originally expected
to be completed in April 2009. While negotiations continue, and we still expect
to complete this license, we can not predict the exact completion date with any
certainty.
At the
present time, there can be no assurance that we will achieve our plan for
profitability in 2009, or even break-even, or that expected revenue sources will
all occur as planned. It is not possible for us to achieve profitability without
license fees at our present level of activity. In order to achieve profitability
solely based on research revenues, our research revenue would have to more than
double from our expected level for 2009, and the majority of the revenue would
have to come from non-governmental sources. The mix of revenues received could
also cause the revenues required to reach break-even to increase. If revenue
producing projects require unanticipated expenses, or heavier than anticipated
use of outside services and materials, we may be unable to achieve profitability
at the expected level of revenues. We believe that we have the ability to
continue to raise funding, if necessary, to enable us to continue operations
until we reach profitability.
8
ITEM
2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS (cont.)
This
plan is based on current development plans, current operating plans, the current
regulatory environment, historical experience in the development of electronic
products and general economic conditions. Changes could occur which would cause
certain assumptions on which this plan is based to be no longer valid. If
adequate funds are not available from operations, or other sources of financing,
we may have to eliminate, or reduce substantially, expenditures for research and
development, testing and production of its products, or obtain funds through
arrangements with other entities that may require us to relinquish rights to
certain of our technologies or products. Such results could materially and
adversely affect us.
RECENT
DEVELOPMENTS
During
the quarter ended March 31, 2009, we received several new contracts which added
to our revenue backlog. We received three separate phase I government contracts
totaling approximately $270,000. Successful completion of phase I contracts
often leads to phase II contacts that can range in amount from $500,000 to $1.0
million in amount each. In March 2009, we also received a two year $400,000
contract from the Bird Foundation, a joint entity funded by the governments of
the U.S. and Israel to accelerate the development of nanoparticles to be used in
our conductive ink project.
In April
2009, we received a new contract for sensor development from a natural gas trade
association. This contract, in the amount of approximately $550,000, will cover
a one year period. This contract, which was not included in our revenue backlog
at March 31, 2009, further increases our billable backlog of research
work.
RECENT
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
There are
no recent accounting pronouncements that we have not implemented that are
expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.
9
ITEM
2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS (cont.)
FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY
Our cash
position increased during the period. At March 31, 2009 we had cash and cash
equivalents of approximately $817,000 as compared with cash and cash equivalents
of $710,000 at December 31, 2008. This increase in cash is primarily
the result of cash provided by operating activities.
Our
operating activities provided us with $117,133 of cash in the quarter ended
March 31, 2009 (the “2009 Period”), as compared to cash used by operating
activities of $477,813 in the quarter ended March 31, 2008 (the “2008 Period”).
This is primarily the result of working capital items, primarily related to
payments received from customers. Our accounts receivable decreased by almost
$400,000 during the 2009 Period, of which $300,000 was related to the second
payment due on a license agreement signed in October 2008. In addition, our
customer deposits and deferred revenue increased by approximately $265,000. This
represents payments received from customers prior to the time that the revenue
is recognized for financial statement purposes. In addition, our cash flow from
operations was impacted by the items discussed below in the “Results from
Operations” section. We would expect our cash used in, or provided
by, operating activities to fluctuate in future quarters in 2009, depending on
the timing of receipt of various items. We expect positive cash flow from
operations in future quarters in 2009, but not necessarily all quarters, as a
result of increasing revenues, while expenses increase at a much lower
rate.
We used
cash in financing activities of $9,184 during the 2009 Period, as compared with
cash used in financing activities of $7,049 during the 2008 Period. The cash
used in both periods was the result of payments on capital leases and is
expected to remain at insignificant levels.
We used net cash of $458 for investing
activities in the 2009 Period related to the purchase of equipment, compared
with cash used in investing activities related to equipment purchases of $6,395
in the 2008 Period. We expect cash used in investing activities to remain at
relatively insignificant levels for the balance of 2009.
Historically,
the principal source of our liquidity has been funds received from exempt
offerings of common stock; however, we have been able to avoid the need to raise
any equity through stock sales since April 2007. Our current cash balance is
approximately $800,000, and our plan is to sign additional contracts so that we
do not need to raise any additional debt or equity funds in 2009; however, in
the event that we do need additional funds, we may seek to sell additional debt
or equity securities. While we expect to be able to obtain any funds needed for
operations, there can be no assurance that any of these financing alternatives
can be arranged on commercially acceptable terms. We believe that our success in
reaching profitability will be dependent on our patent portfolio and upon the
viability of products using our technology and their acceptance in the
marketplace, as well as our ability to obtain additional debt or equity
financings in the future, if needed.
We expect
to continue to incur substantial expenses for research and
development ("R&D"). Further, we believe that certain products
that may be developed by potential licensees of our technology may not be
available for commercial sale or routine use for a period of one to two years.
Others are expected to be available in 2009. While we would likely receive
initial license payments, ongoing royalty streams related to some licenses may
not be available until potential licensees have introduced products using our
technology. Therefore, it is possible that the commercialization of our existing
and proposed products may require additional capital in excess of our current
funding. We do, however, have a plan to operate profitably in 2009 based on the
receipt of research funding, license agreements, and other revenues. Achievement
of at least break-even would enable us to continue our research without seeking
additional debt or equity financing in the future.
Because
the timing and receipt of revenues from the license or royalty agreements will
be tied to the achievement of certain product development, testing and marketing
objectives, which cannot be predicted with certainty, there may be substantial
fluctuations in our results of operations. If revenues do not increase as
rapidly as anticipated, or if product development and testing require more
funding than anticipated, we may be required to curtail our operations or seek
additional financing from other sources at some point in the future. The
combined effect of the foregoing may prevent us from achieving sustained
profitability for an extended period of time.

OPERATIONS (cont.)
RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
Our loss
from operations for the 2009 Period was $833,114 as compared with the loss from
the operations of $747,579 for 2008 Period. Our total revenues for the 2009
Period were slightly lower than in the 2008 Period; however our costs associated
with the revenues also decreased during the 2009 Period. The reasons for the
increased loss are discussed in more detail below.
Our
revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, totaled $824,525, compared to
$870,014 for the same quarter in 2008. The revenues in both periods were all
from ANI, and substantially all the result of reimbursed research expenditures.
During the 2008 Period, $545,824 of the revenue came from government contracts
and $324,190 came from other private sources. In the 2009 Period, our revenue
from government contracts increased to $551,184, and our revenue from other
commercial sources decreased to $273,341. Of the revenue from other private
sources, revenues related to contract research increased from approximately
$185,000 in the 2008 Period to $260,000 in the 2009 Period as a result of
increased funding by our partners. Other miscellaneous revenue decreased
substantially from the 2008 Period to the 2009 Period. The main component of
this other revenue in the 2008 Period was from our relationship with Mitsui,
which ended in 2008. At the present stage of our development, significant
conclusions cannot be drawn by comparing revenues from period to period;
however, we would expect the quarterly revenue for the balance of 2009 to
increase above the first quarter level. Our business strategy is built on
developing a royalty stream from licensing our intellectual property. To
supplement this, we also seek funding from both governmental and private sources
to help fund our research. Until we are able to develop a steady revenue stream
from royalties, our revenues will tend to fluctuate greatly from quarter to
quarter. Our private research funding tends to come in large amounts at sporadic
times.
We have a
revenue backlog of approximately $3.7 million as of March 31, 2009, and we
expect our revenue to continue at or above current levels in future quarters as
a result of this backlog. We had a total revenue backlog of approximately $3.2
million as of March 31, 2008, and a revenue backlog of $3.3 million as of
December 31, 2008. Our ability to perform continued research, or fulfill our
backlog, should not require significant additional personnel; however, we do
plan to increase this backlog significantly throughout 2009 and an increase in
revenue levels may require additional personnel.
We
incurred research and development expenses of $928,148 for the 2009 Period,
which was a decrease from the $1,182,135 incurred in the 2008 Period. This
reflects an increased focus on only those projects for which we have outside
funding and a minimization of any work on internally funded projects. We expect
research and development expenditures to gradually increase for the remainder of
the year as additional new funded projects begin. Significant new revenue
producing research programs beyond those already identified could, however,
cause research and development expenditures to increase further.
Our
selling, general, and administrative expenses were $733,843 for the 2009 Period,
compared with $1,055,270 for the 2008 Period – a decrease of about $320,000.
Included in the 2008 Period are approximately $150,000 of litigation related
expenses, while there were no such expenses in 2009. The remainder of the
decrease in selling, general, and administrative expenses related to our wide
ranging cost reduction efforts.
Our interest income is insignificant,
but decreased during the 2009 Period as a result of a lower average level of
invested cash balances, combined with lower interest rates in 2009. Our interest
income results from the investment of excess funds in short term interest
bearing instruments, primarily certificates of deposit, commercial paper, and
money market funds. We expect our interest income to remain at insignificant
levels for the balance of 2009. Our interest expense was insignificant in both
periods and is expected to remain so for the balance of the year.
During the 2009 Period we had a gain of
$6,000 related to payments received related to intellectual property sold by our
Electronic Billboard Technology, Inc. subsidiary in 2006. It is possible that we
will receive additional payments related to this agreement in future quarters
and future years; however, the amount of such payments, if any, can not be
predicted. During the 2008 Period, we also had a gain of $100,000 from the sale
of certain excess patents, which we were no longer using and which did not
relate to any of our current technology platforms. The 2008 Period also included
a gain of $500,000 from a partial settlement related to the Keesmann litigation,
which is discussed in greater detail in our annual report on form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2008.

3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE
DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We do not
use any derivative financial instruments for hedging, speculative, or trading
purposes. Our exposure to market risk is currently immaterial.
ITEM
4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Under the
supervision and with the participation of our management, including our
principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an
evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the period covered by this
report (the "Evaluation Date"). Based upon this evaluation, our principal
executive officer and principal financial officer concluded as of the Evaluation
Date that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the
material information required to be included in our Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC") reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported
within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms relating to the
Company, including, our consolidated subsidiaries, and was made known to them by
others within those entities, particularly during the period when this report
was being prepared.
In
addition, there were no significant changes in our internal controls over
financial reporting or in other factors that could significantly affect these
controls subsequent to the Evaluation Date. We have not identified any material
weaknesses in our internal controls, and therefore, no corrective actions were
taken.
