Basis
of Presentation
|
The
consolidated financial statements for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 2009 and 2008 have been prepared by us without audit pursuant to
the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial
position, results of operations, and cash flows as of September 30, 2009 and
2008, and for the periods then ended, have been made. Those adjustments consist
of normal and recurring adjustments. The consolidated balance sheet as of
December 31, 2008, has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet
as of that date.
Certain
information and note disclosures normally included in our 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 our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2008, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission.
The
results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30,
2009, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full
year.

Supplemental
Cash Flow Information
|
Cash paid
for interest for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, was $6,416
and $5,008, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and
2008, the Company had non-cash transactions related to share based payments
described in greater detail in Note 4. The Company also had a non-cash
transaction in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 in the amount of $31,607
related to the acquisition of equipment under a capital lease.

Stockholders’
Equity
|
In the
nine months ended September 30, 2008, we issued 170,000 shares of common stock
and received proceeds of $61,250 in connection with the exercise of stock
options. In the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we issued 77,917 shares of
restricted common stock to non-employee Directors as compensation as described
in Note 4.

Share-Based
Payments
|
The
Company recorded $191,453 in stock based compensation expense in the nine month
period ended September 30, 2009 and $481,705 in the nine month period ended
September 30, 2008.
The
Company recorded $163,477 and $441,670 in compensation expense for the
nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, 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, approximately
the same assumptions were used. The balance of the stock based compensation
expense related to restricted shares issued as compensation to non-employee
Directors.

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 our 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.
Nine
months ended September 30, 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 were $637,140 as of September 30, when combined
with known revenue sources, to enable us to operate at least into January 2010,
and we expect to sign additional contracts which would extend that period
further. We developed a plan to achieve profitability in 2009, and that
plan, as originally developed, anticipated a minimum of $1.5 million in license
fees. We signed a license in July 2009 that included an upfront payment of
$500,000, but have no other license fees to date in 2009. At this point, it is
unlikely, but not out of the question, that we will achieve profitability in
2009. To reach profitability in 2009, would likely require $1.5 million in
license fees between the date of this filing and December 31, 2009.
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. Unless we sign a significant
license agreement in the fourth quarter, we will not achieve profitability in
2009. 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 nine months ended September
30, 2009, we received several new contracts which added to our revenue backlog.
We received six separate phase I government contracts totaling approximately
$570,000. 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. We also received a phase II government
contract in the amount of approximately $750,000 in August 2009 for work related
to printable metallic inks for silicon solar cells.
In July 2009, we signed an exclusive
license agreement for conductive copper inks with one of our strategic partners,
a leading industrial chemical products company in Japan for manufacturing and
commercializing nano-copper inks and pastes. The agreement calls for an upfront
payment of $1.5 million, of which $500,000 was received in July 2009
and $1.0 million is due in June 2010. Under the terms of the agreement, we will
also receive a royalty of 4% of sales of the conductive copper inks. In
September 2009, we signed a continuation of our development agreement with this
same partner which will result in a minimum of $300,000 in revenue during the
period from October 1, 2009 through March 31, 2010.
RECENT
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Effective
July 1, 2009, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 105-10, Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles – Overall (“ASC 105-10”). ASC 105-10 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards
Codification (the “Codification”) as the source of authoritative
accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental
entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S.
GAAP. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal
securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants.
All guidance contained in the Codification carries an equal level of authority.
The Codification superseded all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting
standards. All other non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not
included in the Codification is non-authoritative. The FASB will not issue new
standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions or Emerging Issues
Task Force Abstracts. Instead, it will issue Accounting Standards Updates
(“ASUs”). The FASB will not consider ASUs as authoritative in their own right.
ASUs will serve only to update the Codification, provide background information
about the guidance and provide the bases for conclusions on the change(s) in the
Codification. References made to FASB guidance throughout this document have
been updated for the Codification.
FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY
Our cash
position decreased during the period. At September 30, 2009 we had cash and cash
equivalents in the amount of $637,140 as compared with cash and cash equivalents
of $710,111 at December 31, 2008. This decrease in cash is primarily
the result of cash used in operating activities.
We used
net cash in financing activities of $30,717 during the nine months ended
September 30, 2009 (the “2009 Period”), as compared with cash flow from
financing activities of $38,684 during the nine months ended September 30, 2008
(the “2008 Period”). The cash flow in the 2008 Period was the result of the
exercise of stock options, partially offset by payments on capital leases. The
cash used in the 2009 Period was the result of payments on capital
leases.
9
ITEM
2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS (cont.)
Our net
cash used in operating activities decreased from approximately $1.9 million in
the 2008 Period to approximately $25,000 in the 2009 Period. This is primarily
the result of operating factors discussed below in the “Results of Operations”,
offset by the positive impact of working capital items. Our accounts receivable
decreased by approximately $450,000 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 $155,000. This represents payments received from customers prior
to the time that the revenue is recognized for financial statement purposes. We
expect our cash used in operations to remain at significantly lower levels than
in the 2008 Period as a result of increased revenue and reduced
expenses.
Cash used
in investing activities in both periods was insignificant and related to the
purchase of capital equipment. 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 cash balance as of
September 30, 2009 was $637,140. In the event that we decide we need additional
funds, we may seek to sell additional debt or equity securities. We are
currently exploring some debt alternatives to increase our liquidity. While we
expect to be able to obtain funds needed for operations, there can be no
assurance that any financing alternatives could 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 early 2010. 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, as discussed, have a plan to operate profitably in 2009
based on the receipt of research funding, license agreements, and other
revenues, however it is unlikely that we will achieve profitability in 2009
unless a significant license agreement is signed prior to December 31, 2009.
Achievement of at least break-even would enable us to continue our research
without seeking additional debt or equity financing once break-even or
profitability is attained. At this point, to operate at breakeven for 2009, it
would require a significant license agreement to be signed in the fourth quarter
of 2009.
Because
the timing and receipt of revenues from 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.
RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
Our net
loss for the third quarter ended September 30, 2009 was $4,435 as compared with
the loss of $74,577 for the same period last year. Our net loss of $1,491,576
for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 (the “2009 Period”) was lower than
the loss of $2,167,197 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 (the “2008
Period”). This decreased loss was the result of reasons set forth below. We
expect our quarterly loss to remain at a relatively low level in the fourth
quarter of 2009.
Our
revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 totaled $1,506,673 compared to
$891,853 for the same quarter of 2008. For the nine-month period ended September
30, 2009, our revenues were $3,253,295 as compared with $2,615,101 for the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2008. The components
of this revenue are set forth on the face of the income statement, but the main
reason for the increase was the license agreement signed in July 2009. The
revenues in both periods were all from ANI and the majority were the result of
reimbursed research expenditures. At the present stage of our development,
significant conclusions cannot be drawn by comparing revenues from period to
period; however, we would expect the revenue for the balance of 2009 to increase
above the level of the first nine months. 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.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS (cont.)
We have a revenue backlog of
approximately $3.2 million as of the date of this filing, similar to our backlog
of approximately $3.5 million as of September 30, 2008, and we expect our
revenue to remain at or above current levels in future quarters as a result of
this backlog. Our ability to perform continued research, or fulfill our backlog,
will not require additional personnel. We do not anticipate hiring any
additional people for the balance of the year, unless we receive significant new
revenues, or funding from other sources.
We
incurred research and development expenses of $2,738,000 in the 2009 Period,
which was substantially lower than the amount of $3,557,379 incurred in the 2008
Period. This reflects elimination of almost all research spending not associated
with a revenue producing project. 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 $2,008,246 for the 2009 Period, compared with
$3,091,758 for the 2008 Period – a decrease of over $1,000,000. Included in the
2008 Period are approximately $200,000 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. 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, as well as a gain of $1,225,999 from the sale of a portion of our
interest in the Keesmann patents. 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.
ITEM
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.
