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 Company's 20162017 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 20162017 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 ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172018 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.income (loss).

Note 2. Going ConcernRevenues

Since its inception,On January 1, 2018, the Company has incurred significant lossesadopted ASU 214-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”), using the modified retrospective method. Results for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018 are presented under Topic 606; however, prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with Topic 605,Revenue Recognition, which was in effect for those periods.

The Company recorded a decrease to the opening balance of the accumulated deficit of $96,100 and a corresponding charge to deferred revenue as of September 30, 2017, had accumulated lossesJanuary 1, 2018 due to the cumulative impact of $12,968,000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017,adoption of Topic 606. The disclosure of disaggregated revenue is disclosed in Note 9.

The adoption of the Company hadnew guidance affected our recognition of revenue from licenses and royalties. Under our previous accounting practice, we recognized revenue from licenses and royalties on a straight-line basis over the term of the related license agreement. As a result of our adoption of the new guidance, we will recognize revenue from licensees and royalties at a point in time when the term begins.

During the second quarter of 2018, we negotiated an amendment to a license agreement with a licensee that, in addition to expanding the technologies that the licensee is permitted to market, provides for a four year extension to the license agreement that contains guaranteed royalties payable in installments over the term of the amendment to the license agreement.Since the performance obligation is to grant the license for the use of certain patented ink technology as it exists at the time that it is granted, the promise to grant the license is a performance obligation satisfied at a point in time in accordance with Topic 606.In accordance with Topic 606, we recorded $1,521,700 net income from operations of $246,600. At September 30, 2017, the Company had positive working capitalimputed interest of $43,300licenses, royalties and stockholders’ equityfees and $106,500 of $57,800. For the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company’s net income from operations was $271,800. The Company, which is substantially dependent on its licensees to generate licensing revenues, may incur operating losses and experience negative cash flowselling expenses in the future. Sustaining profitabilitysecond quarter and positive cash flow dependsfirst six months of 2018 related to the amendment to the license agreement. The related receivable and payable are recorded as other assets and other liabilities on the Company’s ability to maintainbalance sheet.

The change in accumulated deficit on our Balance Sheet at June 30, 2018, including the increasesaggregate impact of the change in revenues and gross profits that it realized in 2016 and through the first nine months of 2017 from its traditional business. There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to generate sufficient revenues and gross profits to sustain profitability and positive cash flow in the future.accounting principles which was effective on January 1, 2018, was as follows:

Receipt of funds in earlier periods from investors and from demand loan holders have allowed the Company to remain in operation through the current date. Management of the Company believes that it may need additional capital if the Company is unable to at least maintain the revenue level and profits achieved during 2016 and the first nine months of 2017. There can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in obtaining sufficient additional capital, if needed, 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 Company’s 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 future date.

The convertible debentures bear interest at 7%. At the option of the lender, the debentures and accrued interest are convertible in whole or part into common stock of the Company at $0.025 per share. During the first quarter of 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors approved and the holders of $33,300 of convertible debentures that had matured during the third quarter of 2016, one of which is held by a Director of the Company, accepted an offer of extension whereby the maturity dates of the convertible debentures are extended for two years and the conversion rate of the debentures and accrued interest into Common Stock of the Company is reduced from $0.05 to $0.025. In accordance with FASB ASC 470, this modification of the convertible debentures was recorded as a debt discount to the notes payable of approximately $13,200 with an offsetting credit to additional-paid in capital. In the three months ended March 31, 2017, the entire $13,200 was accreted through interest expense.

The warrants are exercisable two years after issuance and expire seven years after issuance. The fair value of the warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The relative fair value of the warrants was recorded as a discount to the notes payable with an offsetting credit to additional paid-in capital since the Company determined that the warrants were an equity instrument in accordance with FASB ASC 815. The debt discount related to the warrant issuances has been accreted through interest expense over the term of the notes payable. For

Background Overview

Nocopi Technologies, Inc. develops and markets specialty reactive inks for applications in the large educational and toy products market. We also develop and market technologies for document and product authentication, which we believe can reduce losses caused by fraudulent document reproduction or by product counterfeiting and/or diversion. We derive our revenues primarily from licensing our technologies on an exclusive or non-exclusive basis to licensees who incorporate our technologies into their product offering and from selling products incorporating our technologies to the licensees or to their licensed printers.

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us” and other similar terms means Nocopi Technologies, Inc., a Maryland corporation.

Results of Operations

TheOur Company’s revenues are derived from (i)(a) royalties paid by licensees of the Company’s technologies; (ii)our technologies, (b) fees for the provision of technical services to licensees;licensees and (iii)(c) from the direct sale of (a)(i) products incorporating the Company’sour technologies, such as inks, security paper and pressure sensitive labels, and (b)(ii) equipment used to support the application of the Company’sour technologies, such as ink-jet printing systems. Royalties consist of guaranteed minimum royalties payable by the Company’sour licensees and/orin certain cases and additional royalties which typically vary with the licensee’s sales or production of products incorporating the licensed technology. Technical services, in the form of on-site or telephone consultations by members of the Company’s technical staff, may be offered to licensees of the Company’s 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.

TheOur 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.

	a.	License fees for the use of our technology and royalties with guaranteed minimum amounts are recognized at a point in time when the term begins;
	b.	Product sales are recognized at the time of the transfer of goods to customers at an amount that our Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for these goods, which is at the time of shipment; and
	c.	Fees for technical services are recognized at the time of the transfer of services to customers at an amount that our Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for the services, which is when the service has been rendered.

The Company believesWe believe that, as fixed cost reductions beyond those it haswe have achieved in recent years may not be achievable, itsour 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 amountsamount of theour Company’s revenues and the mix among the various sources of revenue are subject to substantial fluctuation. The Company hasWe have 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 theour Company’s total revenue, and on its revenue mix and overall financial performance. Such changes may result from a substantial customer’s product development delays, engineering changes, changes in product marketing strategies, production requirements and the like. In addition, certain customers have, from time to time, sought to renegotiate certain provisions of their license agreements and, when theour Company agrees to revise such 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 Company’s total revenue, revenue mix and operating results.

Revenues for the thirdsecond quarter of 2018 were $1,873,700 compared to $359,600 in the second quarter of 2017, were $402,400 compared to $543,700an increase of $1,514,100, or approximately 421%. Revenues in the second quarter of 2018 included, in accordance with ASU 214-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”), revenue of $1,521,700 representing the present value of guaranteed royalty payments that will be payable over a four-year period beginning in the third quarter of 2016,2019 as a decreaseresult of $141,300, or approximately 26%.an amendment to a license agreement with a licensee that, in addition to expanding the technologies that our licensee is permitted to market, provides for a four year extension to the license agreement beginning in July 2019.Since the performance obligation is to grant the license for the use of certain patented ink technology as it exists at the time that it is granted, the promise to grant the license is a performance obligation satisfied at a point in time in accordance with Topic 606.Previously, we recognized revenue from licenses and royalties on a straight-line basis over the term of the related license agreement. Licenses, royalties and fees increased by $7,900,$1,523,700, or approximately 5%1,155%, to $178,200$1,655,600 in the thirdsecond quarter of 20172018 from $170,300$131,900 in the thirdsecond quarter of 2016.2017. The increase in licenses, royalties and fees is due primarily to higher licensing revenue received from four licensees including one licensee added in the second halfadoption of 2016.Topic 606 described above. There can be no assurances that the marketing and product development activities of theour Company’s licensees or other businesses in the entertainment and toy products market will produce sustained increasesa significant increase in revenues for theour Company, nor can the timing of any potential revenue increases be predicted, particularly given the uncertain economic conditions being experienced worldwide. See “Plan of Operation, Liquidity and Capital Resources” and “Note 2 to our Condensed Financial Statements” for comparative information on the impact of the adoption of Topic 606 to our Company’s condensed financial statements.

Product and other sales decreased by $149,200,$9,600, or approximately 40%4%, to $224,200$218,100 in the thirdsecond quarter of 20172018 from $373,400$227,700 in the thirdsecond quarter of 2016.2017. Sales of ink decreased nominally in the thirdsecond quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017 compared to the third quarter of 2016 due primarily to a decrease in the volume oflower ink shipped in the third quarter of 2017shipments to a third party authorized printer used by one of theour Company’s major licensees in the entertainment and toy products market compared to the third quarter of 2016, along with lower ink shipments to the Company’s licensees in the retail receipt and document fraud market. This new printer was appointed late inIn the second quarter of 2016 and, at that time, placed a significant amount of ink orders that were shipped in the third quarter of 2016. In 2017, this printer’s orders and shipments were more equally balanced between the second and third quarters. In the third quarter of 2017, the2018, our Company derived revenues of approximately$344,9001,806,700 from itsour licensees and their authorized printers in the entertainment and toy products market compared to revenues of approximately $490,100$305,200 in the thirdsecond quarter of 2016.2017. The increase in revenues from our licensees and their authorized printers in the entertainment and toy products market in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017 is due primarily to the adoption of Topic 606 described above.

For the first ninesix months of 2017,2018, revenues were $1,103,400,$2,299,100, representing an increase of $73,500,$1,598,100, or approximately 7% higher than228%, from revenues of $1,029,900$701,000 in the first ninesix months of 2016.2017. Licenses, royalties and fees of $468,900increased by $1,539,800, or approximately 530%, to $1,830,500 in the first ninesix months of 2017 were $87,100, or approximately 23%, higher than licenses, royalties and fees of $381,8002018 from $290,700 in the first ninesix months of 2016. The2017. As in the second quarter of 2018, the increase in licenses, royalties and fees in the first six months of 2018 compared to the first six months of 2017 is due primarily to higher licensing revenue received from four licensees including one licensee added in the second halfadoption of 2016.Topic 606.

Product and other sales decreasedincreased by $13,600,$58,300, or approximately 2%14%, to $634,500$468,600 in the first ninesix months of 20172018 from $648,100$410,300 in the first ninesix months of 2016.2017. Sales of ink decreasedincreased in the first ninesix months of 20172018 compared to the first nine monthssix of 20162017 due primarily to higher ink shipments to the third party authorized printers used by two of our Company’s major licensees in the entertainment and toy products market offset in part by lower ink shipments to theour Company’s licensees in the retail receipt and document fraud market. TheOur Company derived revenues of approximately $932,600$2,176,000 from licensees and their authorized printers in the entertainment and toy products market in the first ninesix months of 20172018 compared to revenues of approximately $883,800$587,700 in the first ninesix months of 2016.2017. The increase in revenues from our licensees and their authorized printers in the entertainment and toy products market in the first six months of 2018 compared to the first six months of 2017 is due primarily to the adoption of Topic 606.

TheOur Company’s gross profit decreasedincreased to $296,800$1,756,100 in the thirdsecond quarter of 2018, or approximately 94% of revenues, from $238,700 in the second quarter of 2017 or approximately 74% of revenues, from $350,300 in the third quarter of 2016, or approximately 64%66% 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 theour Company’s technologies or equipment used to support the application of its technologies. These items (except for inks which are manufactured by theour 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 lowerhigher gross profit in the thirdsecond quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017 comparedresults primarily from higher licenses, royalties and fees due to the third quarteradoption of 2016 results primarily fromTopic 606 offset in part by lower gross revenues from product and other sales offset in part by higher gross revenues from licenses, royalties and fees in the thirdsecond quarter of 20172018 compared to the thirdsecond quarter of 2016.2017.

The higher gross profit in the first ninesix months of 20172018 compared to the first ninesix months of 20162017 results primarily from both higher gross revenues from licenses, royalties and fees along with adue to the adoption of Topic 606 and higher gross profitrevenues from product and other sales in the first ninesix months of 20172018 compared to the first ninesix months of 2016 resulting from a favorable mix of products sold in the first nine months of 2017 compared to the first nine months of 2016.2017.
