NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Note 1. Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared by Nocopi
Technologies, Inc. (the Company). These statements include all adjustments (consisting only of
normal recurring adjustments) which management believes necessary for a fair presentation of the
statements and have been prepared on a consistent basis using the accounting policies described in
the summary of Accounting Policies included in the Companys 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Certain financial information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the accompanying
disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The Notes to Financial
Statements included in the 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K should be read in conjunction with the
accompanying interim financial statements. The interim operating results for the three months and
nine months ended September 30, 2011 may not be necessarily indicative of the operating results
expected for the full year.
The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification
(ASC) 220 in reporting comprehensive income. Comprehensive income is a more inclusive financial
reporting methodology that includes disclosure of certain financial information that historically
has not been recognized in the calculation of net income. Since the Company has no items of other
comprehensive income, comprehensive income (loss) is equal to net income (loss).
Note 2. Going Concern
Since its inception, the Company has incurred significant losses and, as of September 30, 2011, had
accumulated losses of $13,284,600. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company had a
net loss from operations of $111,100. At September 30, 2011, the Company had negative working
capital of $327,200 and a stockholders deficiency of $322,100. For the year ended December 31,
2010, the Companys net loss from operations was $234,400. Due in part to the recession that has
and is continuing to negatively impact the countrys economy, the Company, which is substantially
dependent on its licensees to generate licensing revenues, may incur further operating losses and
experience negative cash flow in the future. Achieving profitability and positive cash flow depends
on the Companys ability to generate and sustain significant increases in revenues and gross
profits from its traditional business and new product lines. There can be no assurances that the
Company will be able to generate sufficient revenues and gross profits to return to and sustain
profitability and positive cash flow in the future.

Table of Contents
During the second quarter of 2011, the Company raised $18,000 in a private placement exempt from
registration under section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, whereby 335,337 shares
of the Companys common stock were sold to two non-affiliated individual investors. In late
September 2011, the Company received an unsecured loan of $2,000 from an individual and repaid the
loan in October 2011. Additionally, in late January 2011, the Company received an
unsecured loan of $15,000 from William P. Curtis, Jr., a Director, and repaid the loan in early
February 2011. During 2010, the Company received unsecured loans totaling $50,500 from four
individuals, of which $7,500 was lent by Herman M. Gerwitz, a Director. During 2010, the Company
raised $101,600 in a private placement exempt from registration under section 4(2) of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, whereby 2,668,333 shares of the Companys common stock were
sold to five non-affiliated individual investors and 211,412 were sold to two Directors of the
Company. Receipt of funds from these investors and from the demand loan holders has permitted the
Company to continue in operation to the current date. Management of the Company believes that it
will need additional capital in the future both to fund investments needed to increase its
operating revenues to levels that will sustain its operations and to fund operating deficits that
it anticipates will continue until revenue increases from traditional and new product lines can be
realized. There can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in obtaining sufficient
additional capital, or if it does, that the additional capital will enable the Company to impact
its revenues so as to have a material positive effect on the Companys operations and cash flow.
The Company believes that without additional capital, whether in the form of debt, equity or both,
it may be forced to cease operations at an undetermined date in the future.
Note 3. Stock Based Compensation
The Company follows FASB ASC 718, Compensation Stock Compensation, and uses the Black-Scholes
option pricing model to calculate the grant-date fair value of an award.
In February 2009, the Board of Directors of the Company, under the Companys 1999 Stock Option
Plan, granted options to acquire 200,000 shares of its common stock to five employees of the
Company, options to acquire 75,000 shares of its common stock to two consultants and options to
acquire 50,000 shares of its common stock to an officer of the Company at $0.12 per share. The
options vested in February 2010 and expire five years from the date of grant. In accordance with
the fair value method as described in the accounting requirements of FASB ASC 718, expense of
approximately $22,900 was recognized over the vesting period of the options through February 2010
to account for the cost of services received by the Company in exchange for the grant of stock
options. There was no compensation expense recognized during the three months and nine months ended
September 30, 2011. There was no compensation expense recognized during the three months ended
September 30, 2010. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compensation expense of
approximately $3,000 was recognized. There was no unrecognized portion of expense at September 30,
2011. The Companys stock option plans terminated prior to 2010, and no further stock options can
be granted under the plans; however, stock options granted before the termination dates may be
exercised through their expiration dates.

Note 4. Line of Credit
The Company has a line of credit with a bank that, at its inception in 2008, allowed the Company to
borrow up to $100,000 to provide a future source of working capital. The line of credit, which
matures in September 2014, is secured by all the assets of the Company and bears interest at the
banks prime rate plus 0.5%. At September 30, 2011, the interest rate applicable to the Companys
line of credit was 3.75%. Until the third quarter of 2010, the Company had been required to pay
interest only on borrowings under the line of credit. In the third quarter of 2010, the Company was
notified by the bank that the fully drawn line of credit, which had an outstanding balance of
$100,000 at that time, was not being renewed. The bank offered to the Company and the Company
accepted repayment terms that require the Company to repay the outstanding loan balance in
forty-eight equal monthly installments of $2,083 plus interest at the banks prime rate plus 0.5%,
beginning in October 2010. The incurrence of certain unsecured loans in 2010 and 2011 constitutes a
violation of certain covenants under the Companys line of credit which gives the lender certain
rights, including the right to require the Company to repay immediately the entire outstanding loan
balance, which was $75,000 at September 30, 2011, rather than on a monthly basis over the following
thirty-six months. Should the bank require immediate prepayment, the Companys financial condition
could be materially adversely affected. Management of the Company intends to cure this violation.

Table of Contents
Note 5. Demand Loans
In September 2011, the Company received an unsecured loan of $2,000 from an individual and repaid
the loan, with interest at 8%, in October 2011.
In January 2011, the Company received an unsecured loan of $15,000 from William P. Curtis, Jr., a
Director, and repaid the loan, with interest at 8%, in February 2011. The loan was used to finance
the Companys working capital requirements. Additionally, the Company granted warrants to purchase
15,000 shares of common stock of the Company at $0.06 per share to Mr. Curtis. The warrants expire
in five years. A financing cost of approximately $600, representing the fair value of the warrants,
was charged to income in the first quarter of 2011. The fair value of the warrants was determined
using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: expected life-5 years;
interest rate-2%; expected volatility based on the Companys historical volatility-83%; and
dividend yield-0.
In March 2010, the Company received unsecured loans totaling $40,500 from three individuals of
which $7,500 was lent by Herman M. Gerwitz, a Director. The loans bear interest at 8% and are
payable on demand. The loans were used to finance the Companys working capital requirements.
Additionally, the Company granted warrants to purchase 40,500 shares of common stock of the Company
at $0.0703 per share to these three individuals. The warrants expire in five years. A financing
cost of approximately $1,800, representing the fair value of the warrants, was charged to income in
the first quarter of 2010. The fair value of the warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes
pricing model with the following assumptions: expected life-5 years; interest rate-2.65%;
volatility-77%; and dividend yield-0.
In May 2010, the Company received an unsecured loan of $10,000 from an individual. The loan bears
interest at 8% and is payable on demand. The loan was used to finance the Companys working capital
requirements. Additionally, the Company granted warrants to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock
of the Company at $0.06 per share to this individual. The warrants expire in five years. A
financing cost of approximately $400, representing the fair value of the warrants, was charged to
income in the second quarter of 2010. The fair value of the warrants was determined using the
Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: expected life-5 years; interest rate
2.11%; volatility-78%; and dividend yield-0.

Note 6. Stockholders Deficiency
During the first nine months of 2011, the Company sold a total of 335,337 shares of its common
stock to two non-affiliated individual investors for a total of $18,000 pursuant to a private
placement. During the first nine months of 2010, the Company sold 1,460,000 shares of its common
stock to three non-affiliated individuals, 148,912 shares of its common stock to Philip B. White, a
Director and 62,500 shares of its common stock to Herman M. Gerwitz, a Director, for a total of
$64,600 pursuant to the private placement.
Note 7. Other Income (Expenses)
Other income (expenses) includes, for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2011,
(i) a license transfer fee of $60,000, net of commission expense of $6,000, received in connection
with the sale by a licensee in the entertainment and toy products market of an operating division
that included, with the Companys consent, assignment of the technology license with the Company to
another business in the entertainment and toy products market during the third quarter of 2011;
(ii) the reversal of approximately $19,400 of accounts payable and related accrued expenses related
to invoices received during the first nine months of 2001 from a professional services business
that provided legal services to the Company that the Company, with legal counsel, has determined to
be no longer statutorily payable as the statute of limitations to bring a claim has expired; and
(iii) the reversal of a total of $38,000 of accrued expenses related to (x) potential reimbursement
of expenses to members of a group who in 1999 succeeded in electing four members to the Companys
Board of Directors and (y) the purchase of equipment in 2007 for which an invoice was never
submitted by the supplier that the Company,
with legal counsel, has determined to be no longer statutorily payable as the applicable statutes
of limitations to bring such claims have expired. Additionally, other income (expenses) includes
interest on funds borrowed under the Companys line of credit with a bank and on unsecured loans
from five individuals. Also included in other income (expenses) are financing costs related to
warrants issued in the first nine months of 2011 and 2010 in conjunction with unsecured loans
received during those periods.

Table of Contents
Note 8. Income Taxes
There is no provision for income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2011 due to the
availability of net operating loss carryforwards. There is no income tax benefit for the losses for
the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and for the three months and nine months ended September
30, 2010 because the Company has determined that the realization of the net deferred tax asset is
not assured. The Company has created a valuation allowance for the entire amount of such benefits.
There was no change in unrecognized tax benefits during the period ended September 30, 2011 and
there was no accrual for uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2011.
Tax years from 2008 through 2010 remain subject to examination by U.S. federal and state
jurisdictions.
Note 9. Earnings (Loss) per Share
In accordance with FASB ASC 260, Earnings per Share, basic earnings (loss) per common share is
computed using net earnings (loss) divided by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding for the periods presented. The computation of diluted earnings per common share
involves the assumption that outstanding common shares are increased by shares issuable upon
exercise of those stock options and warrants for which the market price exceeds the exercise price.
The number of shares issuable upon the exercise of such stock options and warrants is decreased by
shares that could have been purchased by the Company with related proceeds. Because the exercise
prices for the stock options and warrants exceeded the average market price during the three months
ended September 30, 2011, common stock equivalents, consisting of stock options and warrants, were
anti-dilutive. Because the Company reported a net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2011
and for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2010, common stock equivalents,
consisting of stock options and warrants, were anti-dilutive.

Forward-Looking Information
This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act),
regarding, among other things, anticipated improvements in operations, the Companys plans,
earnings, cash flow and expense estimates, strategies and prospects, both business and financial.
All statements other than statements of current or historical fact contained in this report are
forward-looking statements. The words believe, expect, anticipate, should, plan,
will, may, intend, estimate, potential, continue and similar expressions, as they
relate to the Company, are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
The Company has based these forward-looking statements largely on its current expectations and

reduction in demand for the Companys products, you should not consider this information to be a
guarantee by the Company or any other person that its objectives and plans will be achieved. When
you consider these forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind the Risk Factors and other
cautionary statements set forth in this Item 2 and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. The Companys
forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made. The Company undertakes no obligation to
update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future
events or otherwise.
The following Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Financial Statements and related notes
included elsewhere in this report as well as with the Companys audited Financial Statements and
Notes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2010 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on March 31, 2011 and keeping in
mind this cautionary statement regarding forward-looking information.
Results of Operations
The Companys revenues are derived from (i) royalties paid by licensees of the Companys
technologies; (ii) fees for the provision of technical services to licensees; and (iii) the direct
sale of (a) products incorporating the Companys technologies, such as inks, security paper and
pressure sensitive labels, and (b) equipment used to support the application of the Companys
technologies, such as ink-jet printing systems. Royalties consist of guaranteed minimum royalties
payable by the Companys licensees and/or additional royalties, which typically vary
with the licensees sales or production of products incorporating the licensed technology.
Technical services, in the form of on-site or telephone consultations by members of the Companys
technical staff, may be offered to licensees of the Companys technologies. The consulting fees are
billed at agreed upon per diem or hourly rates at the time the services are rendered. Service fees
and sales revenues vary directly with the number of units of service or product provided.
11
Table of Contents
The Company recognizes revenue on its lines of business as follows:
a) License fees and royalties are recognized when the license term begins. Upon inception of
the license term, revenue is recognized in a manner consistent with the nature of the transaction
and the earnings process, which generally is ratably over the license term;
b) Product sales are recognized (i) upon shipment of products; (ii) when the price is fixed or
determinable; and (iii) when collectability is reasonably assured; and
c) Fees for technical services are recognized when (i) the service has been rendered; (ii) an
arrangement exists; (iii) the price is fixed or determinable based upon a per diem or hourly rate;
and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.
The Company believes that, as fixed cost reductions beyond those it has achieved in recent
years may not be achievable, its operating results are substantially dependent on revenue levels.
Because revenues derived from licenses and royalties carry a much higher gross profit margin than
other revenues, operating results are also substantially affected by changes in revenue mix.
Both the absolute amounts of the Companys revenues and the mix among the various sources of
revenue are subject to substantial fluctuation. The Company has a relatively small number of
substantial customers rather than a large number of small customers. Accordingly, changes in the
revenue received from a significant customer can have a substantial effect on the Companys total
revenue and on its revenue mix and overall financial performance. Such changes may result from a
customers product development delays, engineering changes, changes in product marketing strategies
and the like. In addition, certain customers have, from time to time, sought to renegotiate certain
provisions of their license agreements and, when the Company agrees to revise terms, revenues from
the customer may be affected. The addition of a substantial new customer or the loss of a
substantial existing customer may also have a substantial effect on the Companys total revenue,
revenue mix and operating results.
Revenues for the third quarter of 2011 were $172,700 compared to $181,800 in the third quarter
of 2010, a decrease of $9,100, or approximately 5%. Licenses, royalties and fees increased by
$7,800, or approximately 10%, to $85,800 in the third quarter of 2011 from $78,000 in the third
quarter of 2010. The increase in licenses, royalties and fees is due primarily to higher licensing
revenues from a licensee in the entertainment and toy products market and license fees from a new
licensee in the entertainment and toy products market whose multi-year license agreement commenced
in the second quarter of 2011. There can be no assurances that the marketing and product
development activities of the Companys licensees or other businesses in the entertainment and toy
products market will produce a significant increase in revenues for the Company, nor can the timing
of any potential revenue increases be predicted, particularly given the uncertain economic
conditions being experienced worldwide.

Product and other sales decreased by $16,900, or approximately 16%, to $86,900 in the third
quarter of 2011 from $103,800 in the third quarter of 2010. Sales of ink increased in the third
quarter of 2011 compared to the third quarter of 2010 reflecting higher ink requirements of the
third party printers of the Companys two major licensees in the entertainment and toy products
market in the third quarter of 2011 offset in part by lower ink requirements of the Companys
licensees in the retail receipt and document fraud market in the third quarter of 2011 compared to
the third quarter of 2010. Also, in the third quarter of 2010, the Company made a sale to a large
international business who introduced entertainment and toy products that incorporate the Companys
technologies into South America. There were no sales to this business in the third quarter of 2011.
The Company derived revenues of approximately $102,400 from licensees and their printers in the
entertainment and toy products market in the third quarter of 2011 compared to approximately
$85,600 in the third quarter of 2010.
For the first nine months of 2011, revenues were $585,200, representing an increase of
$158,500, or approximately 37% over revenues of $426,700 in the first nine months of 2010.
Licenses, royalties and fees of $285,600 in the first nine months of 2011 were $95,900, or
approximately 51% higher than licenses, royalties and fees of $189,700 in the first nine months of
2010. This increase was due primarily to higher licensing revenues from a licensee in the
entertainment and toy products market, license fees from a licensee in the entertainment and toy
products market whose license commenced in mid-2010 and license fees and royalty revenues from a
new licensee in the entertainment and toy products market whose multi-year license agreement
commenced in the second quarter of 2011.
Product and other sales increased by $62,600, or approximately 26%, to $299,600 in the first
nine months of 2011 from $237,000 in the first nine months of 2010. Sales of ink increased in the
first nine months of 2011 compared to the first nine months of 2010 due primarily to ink shipments
to the third party printers used by the Companys two major licensees in the entertainment and toy
products market, offset in part by lower ink sales to the Companys licensees in the retail receipt
and document fraud market in the first nine months of 2011 compared to the first nine months of
2010. The Company derived revenues of approximately $373,300 from licensees and their printers in
the entertainment and toy products market in the first nine months of 2011 compared to revenues of
approximately $181,700 in the first nine months of 2010.
The Companys gross profit increased to $105,500 in the third quarter of 2011, or
approximately 61% of revenues, from $96,500 in the third quarter of 2010 or approximately 53% of
revenues. Licenses, royalties and fees have historically carried a higher gross profit than product
and other sales. Such other sales generally consist of supplies or other manufactured products
which incorporate the Companys technologies or equipment used to support the application of its
technologies. These items (except for inks which are manufactured by the Company) are generally
purchased from third-party vendors and resold to the end-user or licensee and carry a lower gross
profit than licenses, royalties and fees. The higher gross profit in the third quarter of 2011
compared to the third quarter of 2010 results primarily from higher gross revenues from licenses,
royalties and fees along with a favorable mix of product and other sales in the third quarter of
2011 compared to the third quarter of 2010.
13
Table of Contents
For the first nine months of 2011, gross profit was $369,100, or approximately 63% of
revenues, compared to $197,300, or approximately 46% of revenues, in the first nine months of 2010.
The increase in gross profit in absolute dollars and as a percentage of revenues in the first
nine months of 2011 compared to the first nine months of 2010 resulted from higher gross
revenues of licenses, royalties and fees and product and other sales in the first nine months of
2011 compared to the first nine months of 2010.
As the variable component of cost of revenues related to licenses, royalties and fees is a low
percentage of these revenues and the fixed component is not substantial, period to period changes
in revenues from licenses, royalties and fees can significantly affect both the gross profit from
licenses, royalties and fees as well as overall gross profit. The gross profit for both the third
quarter of 2011 and the third quarter of 2010 was 81% of revenues from licenses, royalties and
fees. Primarily due to the increase in revenues from licenses, royalties and fees in the first nine
months of 2011 compared to the first nine months of 2010, the gross profit from licenses, royalties
and fees increased to approximately 83% in the first nine months of 2011 from approximately 71% in
the first nine months of 2010.
The gross profit, expressed as a percentage of revenues, of product and other sales is
dependent on both the overall sales volumes of product and other sales and on the mix of the
specific goods produced and/or sold. The gross profit from product and other sales increased to
approximately 41% of revenues in the third quarter of 2011 compared to approximately 32% of
revenues in the third quarter of 2010. This increase was due to favorable margins on certain
products due to both favorable customer mix and raw materials prices. For the first nine months of
2011, the gross profit, expressed as a percentage of revenues, increased to approximately 44% of
revenues from product and other sales compared to approximately 26% of revenues from product and
other sales in the first nine months of 2010 due to higher sales of these products in the first
nine months of 2011 compared to the first nine months of 2010, favorable margins on certain
products due to both favorable customer mix and raw materials prices and a staff reduction in the
second quarter of 2010.
Research and development expenses of $28,400 in the third quarter of 2011 were comparable to
$27,500 in the third quarter of 2010. In first nine months of 2011, research and development
expenses declined to $85,800 from $104,600 in first nine months of 2010. This decrease is due
primarily to a staff reduction in the second quarter of 2010.
Sales and marketing expenses of $38,900 in the third quarter of 2011 were comparable to
$38,500 in the third quarter of 2010. In the first nine months of 2011, sales and marketing
expenses increased to $131,300 from $107,600 in the first nine months of 2010. The increase in the
first nine months of 2011 compared to the first nine months of 2010 is due primarily to higher
commission expenses on the higher level of revenues, relocation expenses related to the relocation
of an employee from North Carolina to Pennsylvania and higher travel expenses.
General and administrative expenses increased to $81,200 in the third quarter of 2011 from
$79,600 in the third quarter of 2010 and to $263,100 in the first nine months of 2011 from $254,600
in the first nine months of 2010. The increase in both the third quarter and first nine months of
2011 compared to the third quarter and first nine months of 2010 is due primarily to higher patent
related expenses and professional fees in the third quarter and first nine months of 2011 compared
to the third quarter and first nine months of 2010.

Table of Contents
Other income (expenses) includes, for the three months and nine months ended September 30,
2011, (i) a license transfer fee of $60,000, net of commission expense of $6,000, received in
connection with the sale by a licensee in the entertainment and toy products market of an
operating division that included, with the Companys consent, assignment of the technology
license with the Company to another business in the entertainment and toy products market during
the third quarter of 2011; (ii) the reversal of approximately $19,400 of accounts payable and
related accrued expenses related to invoices received during the first nine months of 2001 from a
professional services business that provided legal services to the Company that the Company, with
legal counsel, has determined to be no longer statutorily payable as the statute of limitations to
bring a claim has expired; and (iii) the reversal of a total of $38,000 of accrued expenses related
to (x) potential reimbursement of expenses to members of a group who in 1999 succeeded in electing
four members to the Companys Board of Directors and (y) the purchase of equipment in 2007 for
which an invoice was never submitted by the supplier that the Company, with legal counsel, has
determined to be no longer statutorily payable as the applicable statutes of limitations to bring
such claims have expired. Additionally, other income (expenses) includes interest on funds borrowed
under the Companys line of credit with a bank and on unsecured loans from five individuals. Also
included in other income (expenses) are financing costs related to warrants issued in the first
nine months of 2011 and 2010 in conjunction with unsecured loans received during those periods.
The net income of $66,100 and lower net loss of $7,300 in the third quarter and first nine
months of 2011 compared to the net loss of $51,600 and $277,800, respectively, in the third quarter
and first nine months of 2010 resulted primarily from a higher gross profit on a higher level of
revenues and other income including a technology license transfer fee and the reversal of accounts
payable and accrued expenses that are no longer statutorily payable offset in part by higher
operating expenses in the third quarter and first nine months of 2011 compared to the third quarter
and first nine months of 2010.
Plan of Operation, Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the first nine months of 2011, the Companys cash decreased to $1,400 at September 30,
2011 from $10,600 at December 31, 2010. During the first nine months of 2011, the Company received
$18,000 from the sale of 335,337 shares of its common stock, borrowed $15,000 from a director and
borrowed $2,000 from an individual. The Company repaid the loan from the director, repaid $18,800
of its line of credit with a bank and used $10,400 to fund its operating activities.
During the first nine months of 2011, the Companys revenues increased as a result of higher
license fees from a major customer in the entertainment and toy products market, license fees
generated from a license signed in mid-2010 with a licensee in the entertainment and toy products
market, sales of ink to the licensed printers of these customers, a second sale of products
incorporating the Companys technologies to a customer in the entertainment and toy products market
and license and royalty revenues from a new licensee signed in the first quarter of 2011. As the
Companys total overhead and other expenses in the first nine months of 2011 were comparable to the
total overhead and other expenses in the first nine months of 2010, the increase in the gross
profit and additional income derived from the assignment of a technology license and liability
reversals resulted in a reduction of the Companys net loss to $7,300 in the first nine months of
2011 compared to $277,800 in the first nine months of 2010. The Company had negative operating cash
flow of $10,400 during the first nine months of 2011. At September 30, 2011, the Company had
negative working capital of $327,200 and a stockholders deficiency of $322,100. For the full year
of 2010, the Company had a net loss of $245,100 and had negative
operating cash flow of $170,200. At December 31, 2010, the Company had negative working
capital of $343,000 and a $333,400 stockholders deficiency.

Table of Contents
During 2010, the Company accepted an offer by the bank to repay the then outstanding balance
of $100,000 under its line of credit with a bank in forty-eight equal monthly installments, plus
interest, beginning in October 2010. As of September 30, 2011, the balance on the line of credit
had been reduced to $75,000. During 2010 and early 2011, the Company received unsecured loans
totaling $67,500 from five individuals and, through September 30, 2011, repaid $15,000 of those
amounts borrowed. Additionally, in 2010 and 2011 through the date of this report, the Company
raised approximately $119,600 through the sale of 3,215,082 shares of its common stock. These
borrowings and sales of common stock have allowed the Company to remain in operation through the
current date.
There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to secure sufficient additional
funding through investments or borrowings that will allow the Company to fund losses that it
presently believes may continue during 2011. Based on the Companys estimate of revenues and
expenses, the Company believes its cash on hand and cash from the collection of outstanding
accounts receivable will be sufficient to fund its operations through the fourth quarter of 2011.
The Company believes that without additional investment, it may be forced to cease operations at an
undetermined date in the future.
The Companys plan of operation for the twelve months beginning with the date of this
quarterly report consists of concentrating available human and financial resources to continue to
capitalize on the specific business relationships the Company has developed in the entertainment
and toy products market, including a new licensee with a significant presence in the entertainment
and toy products market added as a result of the assignment, with the Companys consent, of a
technology license by a former licensee late in the third quarter of 2011, a licensee added in 2010
whose initial line of products that incorporate the Companys technologies are now available for
purchase in certain retail outlets in the United States and an additional licensee added in the
first quarter of 2011. The Company plans to continue developing applications for these licensees
while expanding its licensee base in the entertainment and toy market. Additionally, the Company
anticipates revenue growth in the retail loss prevention market through increased royalties from
security ink sales to its long-standing and recently-added licensees in this market. The Company
will continue to adjust its production and technical staff as necessary. The Company will also,
subject to available financial resources, invest in capital equipment needed to support potential
growth in ink production requirements beyond its current capacity. Additionally, the Company will
pursue opportunities to market its current technologies in specific security and non-security
markets.
The Company has received and continues to seek additional capital, in the form of debt, equity
or both, to support its working capital requirements. There can be no assurances that the Company
will be successful in raising additional capital, or that such additional capital, if obtained,
will enable the Company to generate additional revenues and positive cash flow.
The Company generates a significant portion of its total revenues from licensees in the
entertainment and toy products market. These licensees generally sell their products through retail
outlets. Over the balance of the year, such sales may be adversely affected by a continuation of
the slowdown in consumer spending that was experienced during 2009 and 2010 due to the current
negative economic environment. As a result, the Companys revenues, results
of operations and liquidity may continue to be negatively impacted as they were during the
previous two years.

Risk Factors
The Companys operating results, financial condition and stock price are subject to certain
risks, some of which are beyond the Companys control. These risks could cause actual operating and
financial results to differ materially from those expressed in the Companys forward looking
statements, including the risks described below and the risks identified in other documents which
are filed and furnished with the SEC, including the Companys annual report on Form 10-K filed on
March 31, 2011:
Access to Capital. The Company anticipates the need to raise capital in order to fund its
historical and new business operations. The crisis in the financial markets that commenced in 2007
caused serious deterioration in the net worth and liquidity of many investors, including potential
investors in the Company, and seriously eroded investor confidence in general making it more
difficult for the Company to raise capital. If the Company is unable to secure capital, in the form
of debt, equity or both, that may be needed in the future, it may be forced to cease operations.
There can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in obtaining additional investment
in sufficient amounts to fund its ongoing business operations.
Line of Credit. The Company has a line of credit with a bank that, at its inception, allowed the
Company to borrow a maximum of $100,000. In August 2010, after the bank indicated that it would not
renew the line of credit, the Company accepted an offer by the bank to repay the then outstanding
loan balance of $100,000 in forty-eight equal monthly installments of $2,083, plus interest,
beginning in October 2010 and maturing in September 2014. During 2010 and the first nine months of
2011, the Company incurred unsecured loans totaling $67,500 from five individuals and repaid
$15,000 of these loans. The incurrence of these unsecured loans constituted a violation of certain
covenants of the Companys line of credit with the bank. Under the terms of the line of credit
agreement, this covenant violation is an event of default whereby the bank has certain rights,
including the right to require the Company to immediately repay the entire outstanding loan
balance. Should the bank impose a requirement for immediate repayment of the entire outstanding
loan balance, which was $75,000 at September 30, 2011, this could have a material adverse effect on
the Companys financial condition.
Dependency on Major Customer. The Company is dependent on its licensees to develop new products
and markets that will generate increases in its licensing and product revenues. The inability of
the Companys licensees to maintain at least current levels of sales of products utilizing the
Companys technologies could adversely affect the Companys operating results and cash flow. To the
extent the Companys licensees are adversely affected by the current economic downturn, the
Companys revenues may also be negatively impacted. The Company has derived a significant
percentage of its revenues through a licensing relationship with a major customer. Revenues
obtained directly from this customer and indirectly, through the customers third party printer,
equaled approximately 41% of the Companys third quarter 2011 revenues, approximately 44% of the
Companys first nine months 2011 revenues and approximately 39% of the Companys 2010 full year
revenues. The Company also has substantial receivables from these businesses. Late in the third
quarter of 2011, this customer sold the operating division that utilizes the technology license
with the Company to a business with a significant presence in the entertainment and toy products
market and, with the Companys consent, assigned the
technology license to the purchaser. The multi-year license containing guaranteed minimum annual
royalties remains in force with the new licensee through December 2012. The agreement contains
renewal options, but there can be no assurance the license will continue in force at the same or
more favorable terms beyond its current termination date.
17
Table of Contents
Possible Inability to Develop New Business. Management of the Company believes that any significant
improvement in the Companys cash flow must result from increases in revenues from traditional
sources and from new revenue sources. The Company raised cash through additional capital investment
and loans from individuals in 2010 and 2011. The Company also benefited from limiting increases in
its operating expenses and reducing its operating expenses when possible. The Companys ability to
develop new revenues may depend on the extent of its marketing activities and its research and
development activities, both of which are limited. There are no assurances that the resources that
the Company can devote to marketing and to research and development will be sufficient to increase
its revenues to levels that will enable it to maintain positive operating cash flow in the future.
Inability to Obtain Raw Materials and Products for Resale. The Companys adverse financial
condition has required it to significantly defer payments due to (i) vendors who supply raw
materials and other components of its security inks and (ii) providers of professional and other
services. As a result, the Company is required to pay cash in advance of shipment to certain of its
suppliers. The inability to obtain materials on a timely basis and the possibility that certain
vendors may permanently discontinue supplying the Company with needed products and services may
result in delayed shipments to customers and further impact the Companys ability to service its
customers, thereby adversely affecting the Companys relationships with its customers and
licensees. There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to maintain its vendor
relationships in an acceptable manner.
Uneven Pattern of Quarterly and Annual Operating Results. The Companys revenues, which are derived
primarily from licensing and sales of products incorporating its technologies as well as royalties
from these products, are difficult to forecast; such forecasting difficulty is due to, among other
reasons, the long sales cycle of the Companys technologies, the potential for customer delay or
deferral of implementation of the Companys technologies, the size and timing of inception of
individual license agreements, the success of the Companys licensees and strategic partners in
exploiting the market for the licensed products, modifications of customer budgets, and uneven
patterns of royalty revenue and product orders. As the Companys revenue base is not substantial,
delays in the finalization of license contracts, the implementation of the technology to initiate
the revenue stream and the ordering decisions of customers can have a material adverse effect on
the Companys quarterly and annual revenue expectations. As the Companys operating expenses are
substantially fixed, income expectations will be subject to a similar adverse outcome. As licensees
for the entertainment and toy products markets are added, the predictability of the Companys
revenue stream may be further impacted.
Volatility of Stock Price. The market price for the Companys common stock has historically
experienced significant fluctuations and may continue to do so. With the exception of 2007, from
its inception, the Company has operated at a loss and has not produced revenue levels traditionally
associated with publicly-traded companies. The Companys common stock is not listed on a national
or regional securities exchange and, consequently, the Company receives limited publicity regarding
its business achievements and prospects. Additionally, securities analysts and traders do not
extensively follow the Companys stock and its stock is thinly traded.
The Companys market price may be affected by announcements of new relationships or modifications
to existing relationships. The stock prices of many developing public companies, particularly those
with small capitalizations, have experienced wide fluctuations not necessarily related to operating
performance. Such fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of the Companys common stock.

Table of Contents
Intellectual Property. The Company relies on a combination of protections provided under applicable
international patent, trademark and trade secret laws. The Company also relies on confidentiality,
non-analysis and licensing agreements to establish and protect its rights in its proprietary
technologies. While the Company actively attempts to protect these rights, its technologies may be
compromised through reverse engineering or other means. In addition, the Companys ability to
enforce its intellectual property rights through appropriate legal action has been and will
continue to be limited by its adverse liquidity. There can be no assurances that the Company will
be able to protect the basis of its technologies from discovery by unauthorized third parties or to
preclude unauthorized persons from conducting activities that infringe on the Companys rights. The
Companys adverse liquidity situation also impacts its ability to obtain patent protection on its
intellectual property and to maintain protection on previously issued patents. As advised by its
patent counsel, the Company has paid patent maintenance fees of approximately $400 during the first
nine months of 2011. There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to continue to
prosecute new patents and maintain issued patents. As a result, the Companys customer and licensee
relationships could be adversely affected, and the value of the Companys technologies and
intellectual property (including their value upon liquidation) could be substantially diminished.
Economic Conditions. The Companys revenue is susceptible to changes in general economic conditions
and the present global recession that is expected to continue during 2011. The Companys sales,
liquidity and overall results of operations may be negatively affected by decreasing consumer
confidence, further slowdowns in consumer spending or other downturns in the U.S. economy as a
whole or in any geographic markets from which the Company derives revenue. In addition, these
factors may result in decreased customer and licensee demand for the Companys products and may
negatively impact the Companys ability to develop new customers and licensees. Due to the
uncertainty surrounding the financial crisis, the Company is unable to predict the effect of such
conditions on its customers and licensees. Consequently, the Company cannot predict the scope or
magnitude of the negative effect resulting from an ongoing global financial crisis and economic
slowdown.

As of September 30, 2011, there are no recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted which
would have a material effect on the Companys financial statements.

Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company has carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the
Companys management, including the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
of the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act
Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e). Based upon that evaluation, the Companys Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer have concluded, as of the end of the period covered by this report,
that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information
required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified within the rules and
forms of the SEC, and are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the
Company in these reports is accumulated and communicated to management as appropriate to allow
timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in the Companys internal controls over financial reporting (as such
term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal
quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal
controls over financial reporting.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 3. | Defaults Upon Senior Securities |
During 2010 and the first nine months of 2011, the Company accepted unsecured loans
totaling $67,500 from five individuals and repaid $15,000 of the loans received. The
acceptance of these unsecured loans constituted a violation of certain covenants of the
Companys $100,000 line of credit with a bank. Under the terms of the line of credit
agreement, this covenant violation is an event of default whereby the bank has certain
rights, including the right to require the Company to immediately repay the entire
outstanding loan balance, which was $75,000 at September 30, 2011.
