NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Organization

 

PEN Inc. (“we”, “us”, “our”, “PEN” or the “Company”), a Delaware company, develops and sells a portfolio of nano-layer coatings, nano-based cleaners, and nano-composite products based on its proprietary technology and performs nanotechnology research and development focused on generating revenues through performing research services.

 

Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Nanofilm, Ltd., we develop, manufacture and sell products based on technology which permits the fabrication of oriented, ultra-thin films of organic or polymeric crystals, and also produces a line of personal lens cleaners and accessories. These products are marketed internationally primarily to customers in the eyeglass industry.

 

Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Applied Nanotech, Inc., we primarily conduct research and development services for governmental and private customers.

 

On August 27, 2014 (the “Effective Date”), Applied Nanotech Holdings, Inc., a Texas corporation (“Applied Nanotech”), together with its wholly-owned direct subsidiaries, PEN and NanoMerger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), completed a combination (the “Combination”) with NanoHolding Inc. (“Nano”). The Combination included three parts: (i) a redomestication of Applied Nanotech from Texas to Delaware by way of Applied Nanotech’s merger into PEN, (ii) a subsequent merger of Nano into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub (n/k/a Nanofilm Holdings Inc.) the surviving entity, and (iii) a subsequent exchange of 100% of Carl Zeiss, Inc.’s interest in Nanofilm Ltd., Nano’s wholly-owned subsidiary (“Nanofilm”), for stock in PEN. Nanofilm is a company formed under the laws of the Ohio on June 14, 1995 as a limited liability company.

 

Immediately prior to the effective date, outstanding convertible notes of Applied Nanotech were converted into common stock, for which an aggregate of 32,379,288 shares of PEN Class A common stock were issued, and 11,164,620 shares of PEN Class A common stock were issued to directors of the Company in payment of accrued fees. PEN also issued 1,500,000 shares of Class A common stock in satisfaction of a note held by the former CFO of the Company. Accordingly, immediately prior the Effective Date, the Company had 203,363,059 PEN Class A shares outstanding.

 

On the Effective Date, the merger was accounted for as a reverse merger and recapitalization of Nano (See Note 3). On the Effective Date, the pre-merger shares of Nano were exchanged for an aggregate of 27,670,187 shares of Class A common stock of PEN and 250,698,105 shares of Class B common stock of PEN. Additionally, the Class Z member interests of Nanofilm (the non-controlling interests) were exchanged for 47,273,470 Class Z shares of PEN. The effect of these exchanges is reflected retroactively in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for all periods presented.

 

On December 17, 2014, the Company formed a new wholly-owned subsidiary, PEN Technology LLC, a Florida limited liability company and on December 19, 2014, Nanofilm Holdings Inc. was merged into PEN.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Applied Nanotech, Inc., EZ Diagnostix, Inc. (inactive), PEN Technology LLC, and Nanofilm, Ltd. On December 19, 2014, EZ Diagnostix was merged into Applied Nanotech, Inc. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

The consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 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 March 31, 2015 and 2014, and for the periods then ended, have been made. Those adjustments consist of normal and recurring adjustments.

 

The Company’s historical results of operations include an allocation of the net income of Nanofilm, Ltd. to the 14.5% non-controlling interest of Nanofilm, Ltd. up to the effective date of the merger when the holder of that non-controlling interest exchanged its membership interest for shares of PEN Inc. resulting in Nanofilm, Ltd. becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)

 

Basis of Presentation (continued)

 

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. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014 and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 10, 2015.

 

The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 include estimates for allowance for doubtful accounts on accounts receivable, the estimates for obsolete inventory, the useful life of property and equipment, assumptions used in assessing impairment of long-term assets, the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the merger, estimates of current and deferred income taxes and deferred tax valuation allowances, the fair value of non-cash equity transactions, and the fair value of equity incentives.

 

Fair value of financial instruments and fair value measurements

 

The Company adopted the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 for fair value measurements which clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

Level 1-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.

 

Level 2-Inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.

 

Level 3-Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information.

 

The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, loans and lines of credit, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other payables approximate their fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.

 

The Company analyzes all financial and non-financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under the FASB’s accounting standard for such instruments. Under this standard, financial and non-financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company accounts for three instruments at fair value using level 3 valuation.

 

   At March 31, 2015   At December 31, 2014 
Description  Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Level 1   Level 2   Level 2

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Fair value of financial instruments and fair value measurements (continued)

 

A rollforward of the level 3 valuation of these three financial instruments is as follows:

 

   Intangible
Assets
   Stock Appreciation Rights Plan A   Equity Credits Issued 
Balance at December 31, 2014  $239,338   $46,146   $25,178 
Amortization of intangible assets   (12,822)   -    - 
Change in fair value included in net loss   -    -    - 
Balance at March 31, 2015  $226,516   $46,146   $25,178 

 

ASC 825-10 “Financial Instruments”, allows entities to voluntarily choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value (fair value option). The fair value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable, unless a new election date occurs. If the fair value option is elected for an instrument, unrealized gains and losses for that instrument should be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The Company did not elect to apply the fair value option to any outstanding instruments.

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the purchase date and money market accounts to be cash equivalents.

 

Accounts receivable

 

The Company recognizes an allowance for losses on accounts receivable in an amount equal to the estimated probable losses net of recoveries. The allowance is based on an analysis of historical bad debt experience, current receivables aging, and expected future write-offs, as well as an assessment of specific identifiable customer accounts considered at risk or uncollectible. The expense associated with the allowance for doubtful accounts is recognized as general and administrative expense.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.

 

Property and equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, which range from three to ten years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the useful life or lease term including scheduled renewal terms. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in income in the year of disposition. The Company examines the possibility of decreases in the value of these assets when events or changes in circumstances reflect the fact that their recorded value may not be recoverable.

 

Intangible assets

 

Intangible assets, consisting of patents, patent pending technologies and other technologies being amortized on a straight-line method over the estimated useful life of 5 years.

 

Impairment of long-lived assets

 

In accordance with ASC Topic 360, the Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable, or at least annually. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the asset’s estimated fair value and its book value. The Company did not record any impairment charge for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Revenue recognition

 

Pursuant to the guidance of ASC Topic 605, the Company recognizes sales when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been provided, the purchase price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.

 

Types of Revenue:

 

Net product sales by our subsidiary Nanofilm.
   
Reimbursements under agreements to perform research and development for government agencies and others by our subsidiary, Applied Nanotech. We do not perform research contracts that are contingent upon successful results. Larger projects are sometimes broken down in phases to allow the customer to determine at the end of each phase if they wish to move to the next phase. The agreements with federal government agencies generally provide that, upon completion of a technology development program, the funding agency is granted a royalty-free license to use any technology developed during the course of the program for its own purposes, but not any preexisting technology that we use in connection with the program. We retain all other rights to use, develop, and commercialize the technology. Agreements with nongovernmental entities generally allow the entity the first opportunity to license the technology from us upon completion of the project.
   
Product sales and other miscellaneous revenues from our subsidiary, Applied Nanotech such as the sale of conductive inks and thermal management materials.

 

Revenue Recognition Criteria:

 

  Net product sales by our subsidiary Nano, are recognized when the product is shipped to the customer and title is transferred.
     
  Revenue from research and development government contracts is recognized when it is earned pursuant to the terms of the contract. These projects are usually billed monthly based on costs, hours, or some other measure of activity during the month and revenue is recognized as services are provided. If there is substantive acceptance terms then revenue will not be recognized until acceptance occurs. The recognition of revenue may not correspond with the billings allowable under the contract. To the extent that billings exceed revenue earned, a portion of the revenue is deferred until such time as it is earned.
     
  Revenue from research and development non-governmental contracts is recognized when it is earned pursuant to the terms of the contract. Each contract is unique and tailored to the needs of the customer and goals of the project. Some contracts may call for a monthly payment for a fixed period of time. Other contracts may be for a fixed dollar amount with an unspecified time period, although there is frequently a targeted completion date. These contracts generally involve some sort of up-front payment. Some contracts may call for the delivery of samples, or may call for the transfer of equipment or other items developed during the project to the customer. These projects are usually billed monthly based on costs, hours, or some other measure of activity during the month and revenue is recognized as services are provided. If there is substantive acceptance terms then revenue will not be recognized until acceptance occurs.
     
  Revenue from other product sales is recognized at the time the product shipped. The Company’s subsidiary Applied Nanotech’s primary business is research and development and the licensing of its technology, not the sale of products. Product sales are generally insignificant in number, and are generally limited to the sale of conductive inks, thermal management materials, samples, proofs of concepts, prototypes, or other items resulting from its research.
     
  Other miscellaneous revenue is recognized as deemed appropriate given the facts of the situation and is generally not material.

  

Sales incentives and consideration paid to customers

 

The Company accounts for certain promotional costs such as sales incentives and cooperative advertising as a reduction of sales. For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded approximately $55,468 and $30,498, respectively, as a reduction of sales related to these costs.

 

Cost of sales

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Shipping and handling costs

 

Shipping and handling costs incurred relating to the purchase of inventory are included in inventory which is charged to cost of sales as product are sold. Shipping and handling costs charged to customers are included in sales. For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, shipping and handling costs incurred for product shipped to customers are included in cost of sales and amounted to $51,638 and $52,985, respectively.

 

Research and development

 

Research and development costs incurred in the development of the Company’s products and under other Company sponsored research and development projects are expensed as incurred. Costs such as direct labor, direct costs, and other allocated costs incurred to perform research and development service pursuant to government and private research projects are in included in cost of sales. For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, research and development costs incurred in the development of the Company’s products were $195,202 and $150,735, respectively, and are included in operating expenses on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

 

Advertising costs

 

The Company participates in various advertising programs. All costs related to advertising of the Company’s products are expensed in the period incurred. For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, advertising costs charged to operations were $17,550 and $38,331, respectively and are included in sales and marketing on the consolidated accompanying statements of operations. These advertising expenses do not in include cooperative advertising and sales incentives which have been deducted from sales.

 

Federal and state income taxes

 

The Company accounts for income tax using the liability method prescribed by ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect in the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to offset deferred tax assets if based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or loss in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

Prior to the February 24, 2014, the Company’s subsidiary, Nanofilm, operated as a limited liability company and passed all income and loss to each member based on their proportionate interest in Nanofilm. After February 24, 2014, the date on which Nanofilm reorganized by creating a corporation parent, NanoHolding Inc., approximately 85.5% of the net income (loss) of Nanofilm, was passed through to the majority member, NanoHolding Inc. After the effective date of the merger, 100% of the net income (loss) of Nanofilm is passed through to the Company.

 

The Company follows the accounting guidance for uncertainty in income taxes using the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 740 “Income Taxes”. Using that guidance, tax positions initially need to be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had no uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. Tax years that remain subject to examination are the years ending on and after December 31, 2010. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions in other expense. However, no such interest and penalties were recorded as of March 31, 2015.

 

Stock-based compensation

 

Stock-based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of the Share-Based Payment Topic of ASC 718 which requires recognition in the financial statements of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee or director is required to perform the services in exchange for the award (presumptively, the vesting period). The ASC also requires measurement of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award.

 

Pursuant to ASC Topic 505-50, for share-based payments to consultants and other third-parties, compensation expense is determined at the “measurement date.” The expense is recognized over the service period of the award. Until the measurement date is reached, the total amount of compensation expense remains uncertain. The Company initially records compensation expense based on the fair value of the award at the reporting date.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Income (loss) per share of common stock

 

ASC 260 “Earnings Per Share”, requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) with a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. Basic EPS excludes dilution. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity. Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, 6,800,000 contingently common shares issuable based on certain market conditions (see Note 8) are not included in the potential dilutive shares in calculating the diluted EPS. Additionally, potentially dilutive common shares consist of common stock options (using the treasury stock method). These common stock equivalents may be dilutive in the future. Potentially dilutive common shares were excluded from the computation of diluted shares outstanding as they would have an anti-dilutive impact on the Company’s net losses and consisted of the following:

 

   March 31, 2015   December 31, 2014 
Total stock options   4,297,931    4,357,528 

 

Additionally, there are an unknown quantity of common stock equivalents that result from a potential conversion of equity credits and stock appreciation rights (See Notes 10, 11 and 13).

 

Net loss per share for each class of common stock is as follows:

 

Net (loss) income per common shares outstanding:  Three Months ended
March 31, 2015
   Three Months ended March 31, 2014 
Class A common stock  $(0.00)  $0.00 
Class B common stock  $(0.00)  $0.00 
Class Z common stock  $(0.00)  $0.00 
           
Weighted average shares outstanding:          
Class A common stock   234,744,655    27,670,187 
Class B common stock   251,017,063    250,698,105 
Class Z common stock   47,273,470    47,273,470 
Total weighted average shares outstanding   534,216,610    325,641,762 

 

Segment reporting

 

The Company uses “the management approach” in determining reportable operating segments. The management approach considers the internal organization and reporting used by the Company’s chief operating decision maker for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source for determining the Company’s reportable segments. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is the Chairman and chief executive officer (“CEO”) of the Company, who reviews operating results to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company. The Company classified the reportable operating segments into (i) the development, manufacture and sale of personal lens cleaners and accessories and ultra-thin films of organic or polymeric crystals (the “Product Segment”) and (ii) the performance of nanotechnology research and development services for government and private entities and any related sales of related products.

 

Reclassification

 

Certain reclassifications have been made in prior year’s consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year’s financial presentation. The reclassifications are primarily within operating expenses to reflect research and development as a separate line item.

NOTE 3 – ACQUISITION

 

Effective August 27, 2014, pursuant to the reverse merger and recapitalization as discussed in Note 1, the Company and Nano merged. Both Nano and Applied Nanotech were interested in the Combination because of the opportunity to commercialize new products enabled by nanotechnology. The fact that Applied Nanotech was public will facilitate access to growth capital. The strong intellectual property portfolio of Applied Nanotech, combined with the experience of the Nano team, is to be the platform for the Company to expand its product offerings and commercialize the acquired technologies.

 

On the Effective Date, the merger was accounted for as a reverse merger and recapitalization of Nano using the acquisition method in accordance with ASC 805-10 and related subsections since the shareholders of Nano and its subsidiary, the legal acquiree, owned 61.6% of the aggregate outstanding common shares of PEN immediately following the completion of the merger, had its current officers assume all corporate and day-to-day management offices of PEN, including chief executive officer and chief financial officer, and board members of Nano control a majority of the board after the Combination. Accordingly, Nano was deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the transaction and, consequently, the transaction is treated as a reverse merger with Nano as the acquiring company. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that will be reflected in the PEN consolidated financial statements after the Effective Date are those of Nano and Subsidiary and are recorded at the historical cost basis of Nano. Applied Nanotech’s assets and liabilities are recorded at their fair values as of the effective date and the results of operations of Applied Nanotech are consolidated with results of operations of Nano starting on the Effective Date.

 

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations have been prepared as if the acquisition of Applied Nanotech had occurred as of the beginning of the following period:

 

   Three Months Ended
March 31, 2014
 
Net Revenues  $3,653,843 
Net Loss  $(170,719)
Net Loss per Share  $(0.00)

 

Pro forma data does not purport to be indicative of the results that would have been obtained had these events actually occurred at the beginning of the periods presented and is not intended to be a projection of future results.

Contingently issuable Class A common shares

 

On August 27, 2014, the Company entered into a Restricted Stock Agreement with Dr. Zvi Yaniv, the former Chief Operating Officer and President, of Applied Nanotech, and a current employee of the Company granting Dr. Yaniv 6,800,000 shares of Class A common stock, subject to forfeiture. All these shares become vested and not subject to forfeiture on the earlier of a change of control of us, Dr. Yaniv’s death, or if more than 180 days after closing, the average trading price of the shares during a measurement period of ten consecutive trading days reaches certain price thresholds. At a $0.10 price, one million of the shares vest, with additional tranches of one million shares vesting if the price reaches $0.15, $0.20, $0.25 and $0.30. The last 1.8 million shares vest at a $0.35 price threshold. Any shares that have not vested five years after the Effective Date will be forfeited. We also entered into a Piggyback Registration Rights Agreement that will allow Dr. Yaniv, subject to other customary terms and conditions, to register shares that are no longer subject to forfeiture if we are registering our shares. Pursuant to ASC 718-10 and related subsections, these shares were valued on the date of grant of August 27, 2014 at $0.0729 per shares for a total value of $495,720. The Company estimates the fair value of the awards with market conditions using a Binomial simulation, which utilizes several assumptions including the risk-free interest rate, the volatility of the Company’s stock and the exercise behavior of award recipients. The grant-date fair value of $495,720 of the awards will be recognized over the requisite service period of 3 years, which represents the derived service period for the stock grant as determined by the Binomial simulation. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, in connection with the amortization of the fair value of this stock grant, the Company recorded stock-based compensation of $41,310.

Customer C   12%   10%
Total   34%   41%

 

A reduction in sales from or loss of such customers would have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

 

Geographic concentrations of sales

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, total sales in the United States represent 70% and 89% of total sales, respectively. No other geographical area accounting for more than 10% of total sales during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.

 

Vendor concentrations

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company purchased 44% of its inventory from two suppliers (29% and 15%, respectively). For the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company purchased 38% of its inventory from two suppliers (26% and 12%, respectively).

 

NOTE 10 – EQUITY CREDITS

 

During 1997, Nanofilm established The Equity Credit Incentive Program. This program enabled select employees the opportunity to purchase equity credits that increase in value based upon an increase in Nanofilm’s revenue over a base year of 1996. Eligible credits can be redeemed after two years at the equity credit value for that year. Under certain circumstances, the equity credits are convertible into Nano equity on a one-for-one basis.

 

The maximum number of credits available for issuance is 385,000. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, no equity credits were forfeited and no units were redeemed. As of March 31, 2015, 77,700 equity credits were issued and outstanding with an approximate value of $0.3240 per credit and, as of December 31, 2014, 77,700 equity credits were issued and outstanding with an approximate value of $0.3240 per credit. At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, $25,178 and $25,178 respectively, was accrued, and included in accrued expenses, representing the redemption value associated with the equity credits outstanding at each period end.

 

Under the terms of the Plan, when the Company completes a registered offering of its common stock, the equity credit participants will have the option to convert the equity credits into Class A common shares of the Company, or in the case of our President, into shares of Class B common stock.

NOTE 11 – STOCK APPRECIATION PLAN

 

From June 1, 1988, until December 31, 1997, when the plan was terminated, Nanofilm had in place a Stock Appreciation Rights Plan A (the “Plan”), intended to provide employees, directors, members of a technical advisory board and certain independent contractors selected by the Board with equity-like participation in the growth of Nanofilm. The maximum number of stock appreciation rights that could be granted by the Board was 1,000,000.

 

There were 235,782 fully vested stock appreciation rights (“SARS”) outstanding under the terms of the Plan at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014. The SARS unit value is based on the book value of the Company as of the last fiscal year end multiplied by a SARS multiplier stipulated in the SARS plan. However, in the event of an initial public offering (“IPO”) of Nano, the SARS are redeemable based on a value equal to offering price of the stock in an IPO times the total outstanding shares of the Company just subsequent to the completion of the IPO, multiplied by the SARS multiplier. The SARS multiplier is to be adjusted, as the Board determines, to reflect changes in the capitalization of Nanofilm. Generally, the SARS are redeemable in cash, at their then fair value as computed pursuant to the Plan, in the event of termination of employment or business relationship, death, permanent and total disability, or sale of Nano (as defined).. Upon an IPO, SARS are to be redeemed by applying 70% of the redemption value to purchase common shares, with the remaining 30% being distributed in cash to the participant.

 

The August 2014 Combination does not qualify as an IPO under the Plan; however, a future underwritten registered offering may qualify.

 

The accrued redemption value associated with the stock appreciation rights amounted to $46,146 and $46,146, at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. If the Company completes an IPO, the value of SARS calculated based on the IPO formula may cause a material increase in the value of the liability

 

NOTE 12 – SEGMENT REPORTING

 

The Company’s principal operating segments coincide with the types of products to be sold. The products from which revenues are derived are consistent with the reporting structure of the Company’s internal organization. The Company’s two reportable segments for the three months ended March 31, 2014 were i) the Product Segment and ii) the Research and Development Segment. For the 2014 period, the Company only operated in the Product Segment. The Company’s chief operating decision-maker has been identified as the Chairman and CEO, who reviews operating results to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company. Segment information is presented based upon the Company’s management organization structure as of March 31, 2015 and the distinctive nature of each segment. Future changes to this internal financial structure may result in changes to the reportable segments disclosed. There are no inter-segment revenue transactions and, therefore, revenues are only to external customers. As the Company primarily generates its revenues from customers in the United States, no geographical segments are presented.

 

Segment operating profit is determined based upon internal performance measures used by the chief operating decision-maker. The Company derives the segment results from its internal management reporting system. The accounting policies the Company uses to derive reportable segment results are the same as those used for external reporting purposes. Management measures the performance of each reportable segment based upon several metrics, including net revenues, gross profit and operating income (loss). Management uses these results to evaluate the performance of, and to assign resources to, each of the reportable segments. The Company manages certain operating expenses separately at the corporate level and does not allocate such expenses to the segments. Segment income from operations excludes interest income/expense and other income or expenses and income taxes according to how a particular reportable segment’s management is measured. Management does not consider impairment charges, and unallocated costs in measuring the performance of the reportable segments.

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 unaudited consolidated financial statements. PEN is the result of a business combination (the “Combination”), that closed at the end of August, 2014 (and reported in an 8-K filed on September 2, 2014).

 

OVERVIEW

 

PEN’s business is the marketing and sale of products enabled by nanotechnology. We develop and sell products based on our portfolio of intellectual property. Our current products are a portfolio of nano-layer coatings, nano-based cleaners, printable inks and pastes, gas detectors and thermal management materials.

 

PEN applies knowledge derived from our ongoing nanotechnology research and development to control and manipulate materials at the molecular level to solve everyday problems for customers in the optical, transportation, military, sports, and safety industries. New products under development are also targeted for sale to consumers and to other industries. Our primary commercial products center on our customized eye care glass cleaning and de-fogging products, precision mold release treatments, stay-clean surface treatments for ceramic surfaces, and scuff-resistant treatments for commercial dinnerware. We also sell: printable inks and pastes; thermal management materials; and, on a custom order basis, gas detectors and sensors. These products are marketed globally. We are also engaged in research and development under contract with the government and others with the goal of developing new and improved products using our proprietary technology.

 

Our principal operating segments coincide with our different business activities and types of products sold. This is consistent with our internal reporting structure. Our two reportable segments for the three months ended March 31, 2015 were (i) the Product Segment and (ii) the Research and Development Segment. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 the Company only operated in the Product Segment.

 

Product segment

 

Revenue is based on the successful development of specialty products using proprietary intellectual property to deliver unique performance attributes at the surface of a wide variety of substrates. Our products are sold in liquid form enabling application by a number of common commercial techniques and in some instances also as wet and dry towelettes. Our goal continues to be to create segment leading brands through sales of high quality consumer products, and by developing and producing customized formulas for sale to strategic, industrial partners to be incorporated into their customer’s products. We manufacture our formulations internally to protect our technology and maintain the highest quality for the products that we and our commercial partners bring to the marketplace.

 

Our main products are:

 

  Liquid and towelette formulations packaged in many formats for retail sale to consumers for eyeglass and sunglass lens cleaning and protection.
     
  Anti-fogging liquid and towelette formulations packaged for retail sale to consumers for safety glasses, protective eye wear including face shields, and sporting googles.
     
  Anti-fogging towelettes for sale to the military for safety, anti-fogging and conditioning of lenses, masks, head gear and other applications such as head’s up displays,
     
  Mar resistant and stain resistant coatings for high end vitreous china tableware used for heavy duty, usage situations such as restaurants, cruise ships, casinos.
     
  Clear protective coatings used on display panels and touch screens to make it easy to remove fingerprints. Applications include automotive and hand held devices.
     
  Protective and water repelling coatings on interior glass – decorated glass panels, shower doors to make it easy to clean and prevent scale and grime encrustation.
     
  Coatings for ceramic insulators used in transit and underground subways systems to prevent caking of metal dust and greases on surfaces to reduce maintenance and current leakage losses.

New products under development include products targeted to our current customer base in the optical, transportation, military, sports, and safety industries.

 

Separate from our historical business, we are also focused on creating products enabled by nanotechnology that tackle and solve big, global problems in growing markets. We have three primary areas of new product focus:

 

  1. Health: Treating or printing of surfaces at the nano-scale to promote health, fight the spread of disease, and assist in the arms race against super bugs;
     
  2. Safety: “Smelling” at the nano-scale level to identify hazardous condition, alert those in danger, and initiate steps to prevent catastrophe; and
     
  3. Sustainability: Creating nano-scale devices and formulas using the minimal amounts of safe, natural ingredients and manufacturing methods, and avoiding using harsh chemicals and pesticides, whenever possible.

 

The first new product is expected to be part of a family of cleaning products that clean and fortify surfaces at the nanoscale-level. We expect to be selling the first product from this work in the next several months. The patent-pending product is a spray cleaner that penetrates and fortifies the surface. This fortifier and protector can clean and protect many surfaces, both natural and man-made. After application, the product continues to fortify and protect, creating a healthy surface.

 

Our product is made with safe ingredients and does not use harsh chemicals or disinfectants. We start with a natural mineral that is milled and engineered into a smaller shape and size. Then, the milled mineral is mixed with a proprietary cleaner solution to create our product. The mineral chosen is stable in air and water. No governmental approvals are required for sale of this product. The product:

 

  Rids surface of dust, dirt and debris;
     
  Leaves a healthy surface;
     
  Is safe to use;
     
  Will continue to work for as long as it is on the surface (until cleaned or washed away);
     
  Is fast acting;
     
  Is non-corrosive;
     
  Is easy to apply;
     
  Is non-flammable;
     
  Is friendly to the environment;
     
  Is odor-free; and
     
  Is stain-free.

 

Research and development segment

 

We are a global leader in nanotechnology research and development and this segment focuses on generating revenues through performing research services. Our nanotechnology research is aimed at solving problems at the molecular level - working with the basic properties of matter to create new and improved materials and technologies. We do both research and development, including proof of concepts and prototypes, for our own products and research and development under contract for government and private entities. In our work on products for ourselves we focus on using only the submicron size particles, not smaller nanoparticles that are subject to much greater government regulation. Our work generally falls under one of three technology platforms:

 

Nanosensor technology;
   
Nanoelectronics; and
   
Submicron particle formulations for health and safety products.

 

Our research and development efforts are currently focused in these and emerging areas.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

 

We are the surviving holding company from a business combination that closed on August 27, 2014 (the “Effective Date”). On that day, Applied Nanotech Holdings, Inc., a Texas corporation (“Applied Nanotech”), together with its wholly-owned direct subsidiaries, PEN and NanoMerger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), completed a combination (the “Combination”) with NanoHolding Inc. (“Nano”). That transaction, that we call the “Combination” included three parts: (i) a redomestication of Applied Nanotech from Texas to Delaware by way of Applied Nanotech’s merger into PEN, (ii) a subsequent merger of Nano into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub (n/k/a Nanofilm Holding Inc.) the surviving entity, and (iii) a subsequent exchange of 100% of Carl Zeiss, Inc.’s interest in Nanofilm Ltd., Nano’s wholly-owned subsidiary (“Nanofilm”), for stock in PEN. Nanofilm is a company formed under the laws of the Ohio on June 14, 1995 as a limited liability company.

 

In the first step of the Combination, outstanding convertible notes of Applied Nanotech were converted into common stock, for which an aggregate of 32,379,288 shares of PEN Class A common stock were issued, and 11,164,620 shares of PEN Class A common stock were issued to directors of the Company in payment of accrued fees. PEN also issued 1,500,000 shares of Class A common stock in satisfaction of a note held by the former CFO of the Company. Accordingly, immediately prior the Effective Date, the Company had 203,363,059 PEN Class A shares outstanding. In the second step of the Combination, the pre-merger shares of Nanoholdings, Inc. were exchanged for an aggregate of 27,670,187 shares of Class A common stock of PEN and 250,698,105 shares of Class B common stock of PEN. In the third step, the Class Z member interests of Nanofilm (the non-controlling interests) were exchanged for 47,273,470 Class Z shares of PEN. The effect of these exchanges is reflected retroactively in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for all periods presented.

 

On the Effective Date, the Combination was accounted for as a reverse merger and recapitalization of Nano since the shareholders of Nano and its subsidiary, the legal acquiree, owned 61.6% of the aggregate outstanding common shares of PEN immediately following the completion of the merger, had its current officers assume all corporate and day-to-day management offices of PEN, including chief executive officer and chief financial officer, and board members designated by Nano are a majority of the board after the Combination. Accordingly, Nano was deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the transaction and, consequently, the transaction is treated as a reverse merger with Nano as the acquiring company. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that will be reflected in the PEN consolidated financial statements after the Effective Date are those of Nano and Subsidiary and are recorded at the historical cost basis of Nano. Applied Nanotech’s assets and liabilities are recorded at their fair values as of the effective date and the results of operations of Applied Nanotech are consolidated with results of operations of Nano starting on the Effective Date.

 

On December 17, 2014, we formed a new wholly-owned subsidiary, PEN Technology LLC, a Florida limited liability company and on December 19, 2014, Nanofilm Holdings Inc. was merged into PEN.

 

Currently, the research and development activities of our newly formed subsidiary, PEN Technology, LLC are included in our research and development segment.

 

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

There are no recent accounting pronouncements that we have not implemented that are expected to have a material impact on our consolidated unaudited financial statements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following comparative analysis on results of operations was based primarily on the comparative consolidated financial statements, footnotes and related information for the periods identified below and should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements that are included elsewhere in this report. The results discussed below are for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.

 

Substantially all of our results of operations relate to our Product segment since the results of operations related to our research and development segment are only included in our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

 

The acquired research and development segment has a history of net losses and negative cash flow from operations. Since the Combination, we have made efforts to cut costs and achieved positive or break-even cash flow from operations in that segment by the end of 2014.

 

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014

 

Revenues:

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, revenues consisted of the following:

 

   Three Months ended March 31, 
   2015   2014 
Sales:          
Product segment  $2,437,314   $2,771,411 
Research and development segment   630,427    - 
Total segment and consolidated sales  $3,067,741   $2,771,411 

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2015, sales from the Product segment decreased by $334,097 or 12.1% as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014 which was primarily attributable to several factors. In 2013, we experienced delays in the production of anti-fog cloths which resulted in higher than normal sales in the first half of 2014. Due to the overstocking of the anti-fog cloths at a major customer in the first half of 2014, we experienced reduced sales in the 2015 period.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2015, revenues from our research and development segment amounted to $630,427. We did not recognizes revenues for this segment until after August 27, 2014 (the date of Combination).

 

Cost of revenues.

 

Cost of revenues includes inventory costs, materials and supplies costs, internal labor and related benefits, subcontractor costs, depreciation, overhead and shipping and handling costs incurred including research and development costs related to government and private research contracts in our Research and Development segment.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2015, cost of revenues amounted to $1,915,103 as compared to $1,450,141 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, an increase of $464,962 or 32.1% and consisted of the following:

 

   Three Months ended March 31, 
   2015   2014 
Cost of revenues:          
Product segment  $1,406,719   $1,450,141 
Research and development segment   508,384    - 
Total segment and consolidated cost of revenues  $1,915,103   $1,450,141

Gross profit and gross margin.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2015, gross profit amounted to $1,152,638 as compared to $1,321,270 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, a decrease of $168,632 or 12.8%. For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, gross margins were 37.6% and 47.7%, respectively.

 

Gross profit and gross margin by segment is as follows:

 

   Three Months ended March 31, 
   2015   %   2014   % 
Gross profit:                    
Product segment *  $1,030,595    42.3%  $1,321,270    47.7%
Research and development segment *   122,043    19.4%   -    - 
Total gross profit  $1,152,638    37.6%  $1,321,270    47.7%

 

* Gross margin % based on respective segments revenues.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the decrease in gross margins from the Product segment as compared to the comparable 2014 period was primarily attributable to higher sales of our higher margin anti-fog and protective coating products in the 2014 period as compared to 2015 period as discussed in revenues above.

 

Operating expenses:

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2015, operating expenses amounted to $1,312,188 as compared to $995,581 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, an increase of $316,607 or 31.8%. For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, operating expenses consisted of the following:

 

   Three Months ended March 31, 
   2015   2014 
Selling and marketing expenses  $82,209   $73,517 
Salaries, wages and contract labor   587,830    433,352 
Research and development   195,202    150,735 
Professional fees   180,552    171,472 
General and administrative expenses   266,395    166,505 
Total  $1,312,188   $995,581 

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2015, sales and marketing expenses increased by $8,692 or 11.8% as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014. The increase was attributable to an increase in commission of approximately $12,800 due to increase incentives to sales agents offset by a decrease in other sales and marketing expenses of $4,100.
   
For the three months ended March 31, 2015, salaries, wages and contract services increased by $154,478, or 35.6%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014. These increases were primarily attributable to an increase in salaries of approximately $38,000 related to the acquisition of Applied Nanotech, an increase in stock-based compensation of approximately $41,300 associated with our contract with Dr. Yaniv and increases in executive, marketing and other administrative salaries and related benefits in our product segment of approximately $75,178 relating to market development activities, the hiring of internal legal counsel and the increase in executive salaries and bonuses. We expect that salaries, wages and contract services will increase primarily due to continued emphasis on planned market development programs for the balance of 2015.

 

8
 

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2015, research and development costs increased by $44,467 or 29.5%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014. The increase during the period was attributable to research and development costs incurred in connection with related to our new cleaning product of approximately $58,700 offset by a decrease of approximately $14,200 from cost cutting measures related to our lens cleaning and conditioning product line.
   
For the three months ended March 31, 2015, professional fees increased modestly by $9,080 or 5.3%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014.
   
For the three months ended March 31, 2015, general and administrative expenses increased by $99,890 or 60.0% as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014. The increase was primarily attributable to inclusion of the costs and expenses of the research and development segment since the Effective Date of approximately $30,300, an increase in amortization of intangible assets acquired in the acquisition of $12,800, and an increase in other general and administrative expenses of $56,800 related to post combination activities.
   

Income (loss) from operations.

 

As a result of the factors described above, for the three months ended March 31, 2015, loss from operations amounted to $(159,550) as compared to income from operations of $325,489 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, a change of $(485,239) or (149.0)%.

 

Other income (expense).

 

Other income (expense) includes interest expense and other income. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, total other expenses amounted to $20,898 as compared to other expenses $7,320, an increase of $13,578 or 185.5%. This increase was attributable to an increase in interest expense of approximately $20,396 attributable to the increase in borrowing under the line of credit and additional unused line of credit fees offset in an increase in other income of $6,818.

 

Income taxes

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2015, income tax expense amounted to $4,944 as compared to $47,608 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Beginning at the end of February 2014, Nano became subject to federal and state corporate income taxes and the expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 represents the period from the end of February 2014 date through March 31, 2014.

 

Net (loss) income and net (loss) income attributable to PEN Inc

 

As a result of the foregoing, for the three months ended March 31, 2015, net loss amounted to $(185,392) as compared to net income of $231,455 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, a change of $(416,847) or 180.1%.

 

Our historical results of operations include an allocation of the net income of Nanofilm, Ltd. to the 14.5% non-controlling interest of Nanofilm, Ltd. up to the effective date of the Combination when the holder of that non-controlling interest exchanged its membership interest for shares of PEN Inc. resulting in Nanofilm, Ltd. becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, net (income) loss attributable to former non-controlling interest amounted to $0 and $(39,306), respectively.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, net loss attributable to PEN Inc. amounted to $(185,392) or $(0.00) per common share (basic and diluted), and $231,455 or $0.00 per common share (basic and diluted), respectively.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURSES

 

Liquidity is the ability of an enterprise to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet its needs for cash requirements. We had working capital of $252,282 and $173,733 of cash as of March 31, 2015 and working capital of $86,636 and $464,735 of cash as of December 31, 2014.

The following table sets forth a summary of changes in our working capital from December 31, 2014 to March 31, 2015:

 

           December 31, 2014 to March 31, 2015 
   March 31, 2015   December 31, 2014   Change   Percentage Change 
Working capital:                    
Total current assets  $3,099,529   $3,293,155   $(193,626)   (5.9)%
Total current liabilities   2,847,247    3,206,519    (359,272)   (11.2)%
Working capital:  $252,282   $86,636   $165,646    191.2%

 

The increase in working capital was primarily attributable to the reduction of convertible notes payable and accrued interest of $13,725 and the reduction of accrued expenses of $123,285 by the issuance of our common stock.

 

Net cash flow used by operating activities was $279,887 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to net cash used in operating activities of $57,683 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, an increase of $222,204.

 

Net cash flow used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2015 primarily reflected a net loss of $185,392 and the add-back of non-cash items consisting of depreciation and amortization of $63,563, stock-based compensation expense of $41,310, and other non-cash items of $(9,858), and changes in operating assets and liabilities primarily consisting of an increase in accounts receivable (third party and related party) of $234,896 due to timing of collections, an increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $45,146, and a decrease in accounts payable of $83,219 offset by a decrease in inventory of $191,067.
   
Net cash flow used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was primarily attributable to changes in operating assets and liabilities such as an increase in accounts receivable of $103,507 and a decrease in accounts payable of $377,222 offset by net income of $270,761 adjusted for the add back of non-cash items such as a change in inventory obsolescence reserve of $63,729 and depreciation and amortization expense of $42,183.

 

We expect our cash used in operating activities to increase due to the following:

 

the development new products,
   
an increase in professional staff and services including increased costs of being a public company and additions to sales personnel,
   
an increase in legal and other fees incurred in connection with our patents and technologies, and
   
an increase in advertising, public relations and sales promotions for existing and new brands as we expand within existing markets or enter new markets.

 

Net cash flow used in investing activities reflects the purchase of property and equipment of $30,311 and $2,514 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase was attributable to the purchase of additional packaging equipment in the 2015 period.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was $19,196 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to $190,000 in the same period in 2014. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we received proceeds from a bank note of $165,258 and proceeds from a bank line of credit of $2,067,500 offset by the repayment of bank line of credit of $2,213,562. During the 2014 period, we received proceeds from a bank line of credit of $200,000 offset by the repayment of bank loans of $10,000.

Future Liquidity and Capital Needs.

 

Our principal future uses of cash are for working capital requirements, including research and development and marketing expenses, legal and other fees incurred in connection with our patents and technologies, capital expenditures and reduction of accrued liabilities. Application of funds among these uses will depend on numerous factors including our sales and other revenues, the extent of our research and development activities and our ability to control costs, including the integration of Nano and Applied Nanotech. We have historically financed our working capital needs primarily through internally generated funds, and bank loans. We collect cash from our customers based on our sales to them and their respective payment terms. We plan to seek additional equity financing in the public market to fund growth of our operations.

 

Revolving Credit Note

 

In April 2014, our subsidiary, Nanofilm entered into a $1,500,000 revolving credit line agreement (the “Revolving Note”) with Mackinac Commercial Credit, LLC (the “Lender”). The unpaid principal balance of this Revolving Note is payable on demand, is secured by all of Nanofilm’s assets, and bears interest computed at a rate of interest (the “Effective Rate”) which is equal to 7.0% above the LIBOR Rate, as defined, payable monthly. Nanofilm will pay a late charge of 5.0% of any monthly payment not received by Lender within 10 calendar days after the due date. The Company, at any time or from time to time upon three business days’ written notice to Lender, prepay the Revolving Note in full. If Borrower prepays the Revolving Note in full and terminates the Revolving Note aft, or if Lender terminates the Revolving Note after default, then, in addition to all other amounts due to Lender and/or paid by the Company, the Company must pay a termination premium equal to 2.0% of the maximum loan amount. Nanofilm used $988,000 of proceeds of the Revolving Note to payoff certain other indebtedness to its then Lender.

 

Without the Lender’s consent, so long as the obligation remains outstanding, in addition to other covenants as defined in the Revolving Note, Nanofilm shall not a) merge or consolidate with any other company, except for the Combination and shall not suffer a change of control; b) make an capital expenditures, as defined, materially affecting the business; c) declare of pay cash dividends upon any of its stock, or distribute any of its property, make any loans, make investments, redeem, retire or acquire any of its stock, d) become liable for the indebtedness of anyone else, as defined, and e) incur indebtedness, other than trade payables.

 

At March 31, 2015, we had $627,282 in borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Note with $872,718 available for borrowing under such note. The weighted average interest rate during the period was approximately 6.8%.

 

On May 1, 2015 our wholly-owned subsidiary Nanofilm, Ltd. entered into an amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement with the Lender to extend the outside maturity date to April 4, 2016 and to permit advances against an expanded borrowing base. The borrowing base was increased by $450,000 through October 31, 2015, with this amount reducing by $7,500 monthly thereafter. In addition, we guaranteed Nanofilm’s obligations to the Lender.

 

Equipment Financing

 

On February 10, 2015, Nanofilm entered into a $373,000 promissory note (the “Equipment Note”) with KeyBank, N.A. (the “Bank”). The unpaid principal balance of this Equipment Note is payable in 60 equal monthly installments payments of principal and interest through June 10, 2020. The Equipment Note is secured by certain equipment, as defined in the Equipment Note, and bears interest computed at a rate of interest of 4.35% per annum based on a year of 360 days. At March 31, 2015, the principal amount due under the Equipment Note amounted to $165,258.

 

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have not entered into any other financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties. We have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our shares and classified as shareholder’s equity or that are not reflected in our consolidated unaudited financial statements. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity. We do not have any variable interest in any unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to us or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us.

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.

 

Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected.

 

Changes in Internal Control

 

There were no changes identified in connection with our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
