SPECIAL NOTE ON FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in Item 2 of Part I of this report include forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by forward-looking statements.
In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may," "should," "expects," "plans," "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "predicts," "potential," "proposed," "intended," or "continue" or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. You should read statements that contain these words carefully, because they discuss our expectations about our future operating results or our future financial condition or state other "forward-looking" information. There may be events in the future that we are not able to accurately predict or control. Before you invest in our securities, you should be aware that the occurrence of any of the events described in this Quarterly Report could substantially harm our business, results of operations and financial condition, and that upon the occurrence of any of these events, the trading price of our securities could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, growth rates, levels of activity, performance or achievements. We are under no duty to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this Quarterly Report to conform these statements to actual results.

Note 1 – Background and Basis of Presentation
Organization
Document Capture Technologies, Inc. ("DCT" or "Company") develops, designs and delivers various imaging technology solutions to all types and sizes of enterprises including governmental agencies, large corporations, small corporations, small office-home offices (“SOHO”), professional practices as well as consumers (referred to herein collectively as “Enterprises”). DCT is a market-leader in providing USB-powered scanning solutions to a wide variety of industries and market applications. DCT’s patented and proprietary page-imaging devices facilitate the way information is stored, shared and managed for both business and personal use.
Syscan, Inc., DCT’s wholly-owned subsidiary, was incorporated in California in 1995 to develop and manufacture a new generation of contact image sensors (“CIS”) that are complementary metal-oxide-silicon (“CMOS”) imaging sensor devices. During the late 1990s, DCT established many technical milestones and was granted numerous patents for its linear imaging technology. DCT’s patented CIS and mobile imaging scanner technology provides high quality images at extremely low power consumption levels allowing delivery of compact scanners in a form ideally suited for laptop or desktop computer users who need a small, lightweight device to scan or fax documents.
DCT’s business model was developed around intellectual property (“IP”) driven products sold primarily to original equipment manufacturers (“OEM”), private label brands and value added resellers (“VAR”) and can be found in a variety of applications, including but not limited, to the following:
· | Document and information management; |
· | Identification card scanners; |
· | Passport security scanners; |
· | Bank note and check verification; |
· | Business card readers; |
· | Barcode scanning; and |
· | Optical mark readers used in lottery terminals. |
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of DCT have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all information and disclosures necessary for a presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”).
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented have been made. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The results of operations for the period ended March 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that may be expected for the entire year ending December 31, 2009. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 15, 2009.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of DCT and its one subsidiary Syscan. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. DCT’s functional currency is the United States (U.S.) dollar. As such, DCT does not have any translation adjustments. Monetary accounts denominated in non-U.S. currencies, such as cash or payables to vendors, have been re-measured to the U.S. dollar. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the results of operations. To date, DCT has not entered into hedging activities to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

Certain accounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Such reclassifications did not affect DCT’s total net sales, operating loss, net loss available to common stockholders, financial position or liquidity.
Note 2 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Pronouncements Adopted During the Current Reporting Period
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosure related to derivatives and hedging activities and thereby seeks to improve the transparency of financial reporting. Under SFAS 161, entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures relating to: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; (b) how derivative instruments and related hedge items are accounted for under SFAS 133 and related interpretations; and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows.
SFAS 161 must be applied prospectively to all derivative instruments and non-derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments and related hedged items accounted for under SFAS 133 for all financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, and, as such, SFAS 161 was adopted by DCT on January 1, 2009 and had no impact on the consolidated financial position, cash flows and results of operations as of or for the three months ended March 31, 2009.
In May 2008, the FASB issued a FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) APB 14-1 Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement) ("FSP APB 14-1"). FSP APB 14-1 requires the issuer of certain convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash (or other assets) on conversion to separately account for the liability (debt) and equity (conversion option) components of the instrument in a manner that reflects the issuer's non-convertible debt borrowing rate. FSP APB 14-1 was adopted by DCT on January 1, 2009 and had no impact on the consolidated financial position, cash flows and results of operations as of or for the three months ended March 31, 2009.
In June 2008, the FASB ratified the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue 07-5, Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock (“EITF-07-5”). EITF 07-5 mandates a two-step process for evaluating whether an equity-linked financial instrument or embedded feature is indexed to the entity’s own stock. EITF 07-5 was adopted by DCT on January 1, 2009 and had no impact on the consolidated financial position, cash flows and results of operations as of or for the three months ended March 31, 2009.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its EITF), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”), and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future financial statements.
Note 3 – Related-Party Transactions
Related-Party Purchases
The Company purchases the majority of its finished scanner imaging products from Shenzhen Syscan Technology (“SST”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Syscan Technology Holdings Limited ("STH"), the parent company of DCT’s former majority stockholder.
- 8 - -
DOCUMENT CAPTURE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Unaudited)
Purchases from SST totaled $1,173,000 and $1,380,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. All purchases from SST were carried out in the normal course of business. As a result of these purchases, DCT was liable to SST for $241,000 and $393,000 at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.
Note 4 – Concentration of Credit Risk and Major Customers
Financial instruments that subject DCT to credit risk are cash balances maintained in excess of federal depository insurance limits and trade receivables.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
DCT maintains cash balances at several banks. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") up to $250,000. As of March 31, 2009, DCT had consolidated balances of approximately $124,000, which were not guaranteed by the FDIC. DCT has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes the exposure is minimal.
Major Customers and Trade Receivables
A relatively small number of customers account for a significant percentage of DCT’s sales. Customers that exceeded 10% of total revenues and accounts receivable were as follows:
Three months Ended March 31, | ||||||||
2009 | 2008 | |||||||
Customer A | 33 | % | 25 | % | ||||
Customer B | 21 | * | ||||||
Customer C | 10 | 21 | ||||||
Customer D | 10 | * | ||||||
Customer E | * | 28 | ||||||
Customer F | * | 10 |
* Customer accounted for less than 10% for the period indicated.
Trade receivables from these customers totaled $1,143,000 at March 31, 2009. As of March 31, 2009, all the Company's trade receivables were unsecured.
Note 5 – Concentration of Supplier Risk
DCT purchases substantially all finished scanner imaging products from one vendor that is also a wholly-owned subsidiary of the parent company of its former majority stockholder. See Note 3. If this vendor became unable or unwilling to provide materials in a timely manner and DCT was unable to find alternative vendors, DCT's business, operating results and financial condition would be materially adversely affected.
Note 6 – Employee Equity Incentive Plans
General
DCT’s share-based awards are long-term retention plans that are intended to attract, retain and provide incentives for talented employees. DCT believes its share-based awards are critical to its operation and productivity. The employee share-based award plans allow DCT to grant, on a discretionary basis, incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options.

9,545,498 | 4,260,498 |
The “intrinsic value” of options is the excess of the value of DCT stock and the exercise price of such options. The total intrinsic value of options outstanding was approximately $1,378,000 and $1,870,000 at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. The total intrinsic value for exercisable options was $874,000 and $1,031,000 at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.
Note 7 – Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Common Share
Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the period. Common stock equivalents of 3,885,000 and 2,883,000 were not considered in calculating DCT’s diluted net loss per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, as their effect would be anti-dilutive. As a result, for all periods presented, DCT’s basic and diluted net loss per common share is the same.
Note 8 – Equity
Common Stock
DCT’s Board of Directors approved the issuance of 25,000 restricted common shares to a consultant for investor relations services rendered during the three months ended March 31, 2009. The common shares have piggyback registration rights to the next registration statement filed by DCT. DCT amortized the estimated fair value of the common shares ratably over the service period, which was completed prior to March 31, 2009. Accordingly, $11,000 was charged to selling, general and administrative expense and credited to additional paid-in capital during the three months ended March 31, 2009.
Preferred Stock
Preferred Stock Accounting Treatment
Preferred Stock Classification. Pursuant to EITF 00-19, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments (“EITF 00-19”), and EITF Topic D-98, Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities (“Topic D-98”), DCT’s series A 5% cumulative convertible redeemable preferred stock (“Series A Stock”) and series B convertible redeemable preferred stock (“Series B Stock”) was reported as temporary equity.
The difference between the initial recorded value of the Series A Stock and Series B Stock and the minimum redemption value is accreted, on a straight-line basis, from the respective issuance date through the maturity date with the offset booked to DCT’s accumulated deficit. The accretion of DCT’s Series A Stock and Series B Stock redemption value is disclosed as a reconciling item and adjusts DCT’s reported net loss, together with the Series A Stock dividends and deemed dividends, to net loss available to common stockholders.

Likely Embedded Derivative. Under the provisions of SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS 133”) and EITF 00-19, the conversion feature of DCT’s Series A Stock (until the March 15, 2008 maturity date) and Series B Stock are derivative instruments (referred to collectively as “Derivative Instruments”) that require bifurcation from the host contract. Accordingly, the fair value of DCT’s outstanding Derivative Instruments has been recorded in DCT’s Balance Sheet as a liability. The fair value of the Derivative Instruments is adjusted at each reporting date. Increases in the estimated fair value of DCT’s Derivative Instruments are recorded as non-operating expense on DCT’s Statements of Operations. Decreases in the estimated fair value of DCT’s Derivative Instruments are recorded as non-operating income on DCT’s Statements of Operations.
DCT estimates the fair value of these derivatives using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The Black-Scholes valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. The Black-Scholes valuation model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility. DCT's Derivative Instruments have characteristics significantly different from traded options, and the input assumptions used in the model can materially affect the fair value estimate.
The fair values of DCT’s Derivative Instruments were determined under the following assumptions:
March 31, 2009 | December 31, 2008 | |||||||
Series B Stock remaining contractual term (years) | 0.35 | 0.6 | ||||||
Expected volatility | 137 | % | 111 | % | ||||
Expected dividend yield | - | - | ||||||
Risk free interest rate | 0.2 | % | 0.3 | % |
See further discussion and disclosure of fair value at Note 9.
Preferred Stock Activity
DCT had no preferred stock activity during the three months ended March 31, 2009.
Series A Stock Dividends
Through the maturity date of March 15, 2008, DCT’s Series A Stock called for cumulative dividends at a rate of five percent per annum, payable semiannually on July 1 and January 1. Dividends were payable in cash, by accretion of the stated value or in shares of common stock. Subject to certain terms and conditions, the decision whether to accrete dividends to the stated value of the Series A Stock or to pay for dividends in cash or in shares of common stock, was at DCT’s discretion. DCT did not pay any cash dividends on its Series A Stock. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, Series A Stock dividends were approximately $13,000, and were recorded as a reconciling item adjusting reported net loss to net loss available to common stockholders.
Series A Stock Maturity
On March 15, 2008 (the "Series A Stock Redemption Date"), all of DCT’s outstanding Series A Stock was redeemed for a per share redemption price equal to the stated value on the Series A Stock Redemption Date (the "Series A Stock Redemption Price"). The Series A Stock Redemption Price included principal and accrued dividends. The Series A Stock Redemption Price was payable either in cash or in shares of common stock at DCT’s sole discretion. DCT elected to pay all of the Series A Stock Redemption Price in shares of common stock. According to the terms of the Series A Stock agreement, the shares of common stock that were delivered to holders of the Series A Stock were valued at 85% of the fifteen-day volume weighted average price of the common stock on the Series A Redemption Date.

Series A Stock Deemed Dividends
In accordance with EITF Issue No. 98-5, Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios (“EITF 98-5”), and EITF Issue No. 00-27, Application of Issue 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments (“EITF 00-27”), DCT’s Series A Stock had an embedded contingent beneficial conversion feature because the conversion price was less than the fair value of DCT’s common stock on the maturity and conversion of the Series A Stock into common stock. The embedded beneficial conversion feature was considered contingent because it was based on how much of the Series A Stock Redemption Price was paid in DCT’s common stock versus cash.
Under EITF 98-5, a contingent beneficial conversion feature should be recognized in earnings when all contingencies are resolved. DCT recorded a deemed dividend on its Series A Stock during the three months ended March 31, 2008 totaling $231,000. This non-cash dividend was recorded to reflect the implied economic value to the preferred stockholder of converting Series A shares into common stock at a 15% discount of the common stock price at the time of conversion. The fair value was calculated using the difference between the agreed-upon conversion price of the Series A Preferred Stock into shares of common stock and the fair market value of DCT's common stock on the conversion date. This amount was charged to accumulated deficit with the offsetting credit to additional paid-in-capital.
DCT treated the deemed dividend on Series A Stock as a reconciling item to adjust its reported net loss, together with Series A Stock dividends recorded during the applicable period, to the net loss available to common stockholders line item on the Statements of Operations.

In certain instances, DCT issues warrants for investor relations services. DCT amortizes the fair value of such warrants over the service period. In connection with such common stock warrants issued and outstanding, DCT charged selling, general and administrative expense with the offset credit to additional paid in capital for $100,000 and $34,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. DCT estimated the fair value of the warrants issued under the Black-Scholes valuation model using the following weighted average assumptions: contractual term of three years, 1.8% risk-free interest rate, expected volatility of 266% and expected dividend yield of 0%.
Note 9 – Fair Value
SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”) defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
SFAS 157 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1. Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. DCT had no Level 1 assets or liabilities at March 31, 2009.
Level 2. Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets), or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated with observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. DCT had no Level 2 assets or liabilities at March 31, 2009.
Level 3. Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of assets or liabilities. DCT had no Level 3 assets. Level 3 liabilities include (i) warrant and (ii) derivative contracts liabilities. DCT estimates the fair value of Level 3 liabilities using the Black-Scholes valuation model.
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and payables, prepaid expenses and other current assets, amounts due to related parties, and other payables and accruals approximates fair value due to the short period of time to maturity.
Level 3 liabilities were presented on DCT’s Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2009 as follows (in thousands):
Description | Balance Sheet Presentation | Fair Value (1) | ||||
Warrant liability for puttable warrants | Fair value of warrant liability | $ | 350 | |||
Derivative liabilities | Liability under derivative contracts | 8 | ||||

Item 2 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with Document Capture Technologies, Inc.’s (“DCT” or “Company”) unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes included herein. The results described below are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected in any future period. Certain statements in this discussion and analysis, including statements regarding our strategy, financial performance and revenue sources, are forward-looking statements based on current expectations and entail various risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. Readers are referred to DCT’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 15, 2009. We undertake no duty to update any forward-looking statement to conform the statement to actual results or changes in our expectations.
Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations ("MD&A") is provided as a supplement to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes to help provide an understanding of our financial condition, changes in financial condition and results of operations. The MD&A section is organized as follows:
· | Overview. This section provides a general description of the Company's business, as well as recent developments that we believe are important in understanding the results of operations and to anticipate future trends in those operations. |
· | Critical accounting policies. This section provides an analysis of the significant estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. |
· | Results of operations. This section provides an analysis of our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008. A brief description of certain aspects, transactions and events is provided, including related-party transactions that impact the comparability of the results being analyzed. |
· | Liquidity and capital resources. This section provides an analysis of our financial condition and cash flows as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008. |
Overview
We are in the business of designing, developing and delivering imaging technology solutions. Our technology is protected under multiple patents. We focus our research and development toward new deliverable and marketable technologies. We sell our products to customers throughout the world, including the United States, Canada, Europe, South America, Australia and Asia.
Our strategy includes a plan to expand our document/image-capture product line and technology while leveraging our assets in other areas of the imaging industry. We are actively shipping six groups of image-capture products. We have expanded our document/image-capture product offerings, and will continue to expand our product offerings in the future in response to the increased market demand for faster, easier-to-use products and increased security to meet the growing need for information protection, including identity and financial transaction protection.
During 2008 DCT focused on re-aligning its operations toward its core revenue-generating competencies in an effort to cut costs and maximize profits. Looking forward, DCT has significant market opportunities in 2009 and we believe that with the corporate initiatives taken during 2008, we are well positioned to capitalize on such opportunities.
- 17 - -
Critical Accounting Policies
Our MD&A is based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, trade receivables and allowance for doubtful accounts, inventories, and income taxes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
An accounting policy is deemed to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, and if different estimates that reasonably could have been used or changes in the accounting estimate that are reasonably likely to occur could materially change the financial statements.
Our disclosures of critical accounting policies in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 have not materially changed since that report was filed.

Net Sales
The decrease in net sales during the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008 is attributable to the overall slowdown of the general economic and market conditions in the U.S. economy and the related slowdown of information technology (“IT”) capital spending.
Our international sales have grown significantly in both absolute dollars and as a percentage of our net sales as a result of (i) the increasing demand in the European markets for our products, and (ii) our continued efforts toward increasing our distribution network within this market. Our European sales were $304,000, or 15% of net sales, and $187,000, or 7% of net sales, during the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. We expect our European sales to continue to increase as we continue to improve our ability to deliver all channel products from our Netherlands-based warehouse and improve our time-to-market.
From time to time, our key customers place large orders causing our quarterly net revenue to fluctuate significantly. We expect this trend and resulting fluctuations to continue. Although the number of scanners shipped during any quarter has fluctuated significantly, our average selling price has remained fairly stable and we expect this stability to continue for the foreseeable future.
Although we continually concentrate on expanding our significant customer base, our revenue remains dependent on a small number of significant customers. Total sales to significant customers (customers who represent more than 10% of our net sales) were 74% and 84% during the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. See “Note 4: Concentration of Credit Risk and Major Customers” in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q. The identities of our largest customers and their respective contributions to our net sales have varied in the past and will likely continue to vary from period to period.
Cost of Sales, Including Gross Profit
Cost of sales includes all direct costs related to the purchase of scanners, imaging modules and services related to the delivery of those items manufactured in China, and to a lesser extent engineering services and software royalties. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008 and was due to the following:
- 19 - -
· | A higher proportion of overall net sales were generated from our more feature-rich products, which typically bear higher gross margins than our scanners with fewer product features; |
· | The negotiated price reduction of some of our finished product; |
· | The price reduction of certain third-party software as we move toward less costly value-add software; and |
· | Our continued efforts toward reducing the cost of our products. |
The above noted factors were somewhat offset by the fluctuation of the U.S. dollar against the Chinese Yuan.
We expect our cost of sales as a percentage of net sales to fluctuate somewhat during the remainder of 2009 as we experience changes in our product mix, the value of the U.S. dollar remains volatile and we work toward implementing further product cost reduction strategies.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel-related expenses, including stock-based compensation costs, facilities-related expenses and outside professional services such as legal and accounting. To a lesser extent, market development and promotional funds for our retail distribution channels, tradeshows, website support, warehousing, logistics and certain sales representative fees are also included.
The increase in selling and marketing expense during the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008 was primarily attributable to the following:
· | Increased stock-based compensation costs (a non-cash charge) to $147,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2009 from $86,000 during three months ended March 31, 2008. See “Note 6: Employee Equity Incentive Plans” in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q. |
· | Increased investor relations efforts associated with DCT’s initiatives toward increasing DCT’s awareness in the investment community. |
· | Increased amortization of the fair value (a non-cash charge) of equity instruments issued for investor relations consulting services to $111,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2009 from $34,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2008. See “Note 8: Equity” in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q. |
· | Increased legal fees associated with enforcing DCT’s patents. |
We anticipate that selling, general and administrative expenses will continue to increase as our business continues to grow and the costs associated with being a public company continue to increase as a result of our reporting requirements including, but not limited to, expenses incurred to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
Research and Development Expense
Research and development expense consists primarily of salaries and related costs, including stock-based compensation costs of employees engaged in product research, design and development activities, compliance testing, documentation, prototypes and expenses associated with transitioning the product to production. The increase during the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008 was attributable to utilizing outside, specialized engineering contractors to enhance our product development program.
We anticipate that research and development expense will continue to increase over the long term as a result of the growth of our existing products, new product opportunities and any expansion into new markets and technologies. We remain committed to significant research and development efforts to extend our technology leadership in the imaging technology markets.
- 20 - -
Total Other Income (Expense)
Our other income (expense) during the three months ended March 31, 2009 was immaterial to our results of operations.
The most significant component of our other income (expense) during the three months ended March 31, 2008 was a non-recurring $400,000 gain on sale of assets, which was offset by (i) the non-cash charge associated with the increase in the fair value of the liability for derivative contracts and (ii) increased debt. The increased debt resulted in interest expense totaling $147,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2008, of which $84,000 was non-cash and attributable to amortization of debt issuance costs.
Dividend and Deemed Dividend on Series A Stock and Accretion of Preferred Stock Redemption Value
During the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, the total accretion on our preferred stock was $12,000 and $89,000, respectively. The decrease was attributable to the maturity of our Series A Stock on March 15, 2008.
We accrued dividends on our Series A Stock through the March 15, 2008 maturity date, which totaled $13,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. We do not pay dividends on our Series B Stock.
DCT recorded a deemed dividend on its Series A Stock during the three months ended March 31, 2008 totaling $231,000. This non-cash dividend is to reflect the implied economic value to the preferred stockholder of converting Series A shares into common stock at a 15% discount of the common stock price at the time of conversion. The fair value was calculated using the difference between the agreed-upon conversion price of the Series A Preferred Stock into shares of common stock and the fair market value of DCT's common stock on the conversion date. See “Note 8: Equity” in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At March 31, 2009, our principal sources of liquidity included cash and cash equivalents of $207,000 and an available borrowing capacity of $744,000 on our bank line of credit. We had no significant cash outlays, except as part of our normal operations, during the three months ended March 31, 2009 or March 31, 2008. Our sales generally have followed a seasonal trend. Historically, our sales have been higher in the second half of the year than in the first half of the year. This seasonal trend has occurred during the past several years as well as during the three months ended March 31, 2009. This historical trend has typically constrained our working capital during the first part of the year. And although we expect the historical trend of higher sales in the second half of the year as compared to the first half of the year, there can be no assurance that it will continue in 2009, especially in light of the current economic downturn in the US economy.
Operating activities: During the three months ended March 31, 2009, our operating activities used $540,000 of cash. This was primarily a result of our $642,000 net loss, $300,000 of net non-cash expenses, and $198,000 net cash used by changes in operating assets and liabilities. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, our operating activities provided $742,000 of cash. This was primarily a result of our $480,000 net loss, $157,000 of net non-cash expenses and $1,065,000 net cash used by changes in operating assets and liabilities. Non-cash items included in net loss for both the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 include depreciation expense, stock-based compensation cost of options, fair value of equity instruments (including restricted common stock and warrants) issued for services rendered, and the change in fair value of our derivative instruments. Changes in our operating assets and liabilities are indicative of the normal operational fluctuations related to the timing of product shipments, trade receivables collections, inventory management and timing of vendor payments.
Investing activities: Our investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2009 were minimal capital purchases to support normal business operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, cash provided by investing activities included $400,000 in cash proceeds from the sale of assets related to terminated research and development activities, which positively impacted our cash position.
- 21 - -
Financing activities: During the three months ended March 31, 2009, our financing activities consisted of a $349,000 draw against our bank line of credit to meet short-term obligations, including payment on the purchase of our product. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, our financing activities consisted of paying down our bank line of credit and our notes payable according to the terms of the agreement.
Cash and Working Capital Requirements
Although our net sales have declined somewhat, we are actively controlling our operating expenses and we anticipate that future operating expenses will be aligned with our projected net sales. If we successfully manage our projected net sales and control our operating expenses, of which there can be no assurance, management believes that current cash and other sources of liquidity are sufficient to fund normal operations through the next 12 months.
Our current line of credit matures on September 13, 2009. DCT is currently in the process of renegotiating its line of credit and has already received an extension term sheet from its current lender. Although management believes DCT will be able to obtain an additional line of credit upon maturity of the existing line of credit, there is no guarantee that DCT will be able to secure a line of credit on terms that are acceptable to DCT.

(1) As of March 31, 2009, DCT had a $3,000,000 line of credit (“LOC”) at a commercial bank. Borrowings under the LOC are limited to 80% of eligible accounts receivable and 40% of eligible inventory, as defined in the LOC agreement. The LOC bears an annual interest rate of prime (3.25% at March 31, 2009) plus 1.25% for advances drawn against accounts receivables, with a minimum interest rate of 9%, and prime plus 2.25% for advances drawn against inventory, with a minimum interest rate of 10%. Interest payments are due monthly and all unpaid interest and principal is due in full on September 13, 2009. Upon certain events of default, the default variable interest rate increases to prime plus 5%. As of March 31, 2009, DCT had unused borrowing capacity of $744,000 on its LOC.
As of March 31, 2009, DCT was in compliance with all LOC debt covenants.
(2) On August 7, 2009 (the "Series B Stock Redemption Date"), all of our outstanding Series B Stock shall be redeemed for a per share redemption price equal to the stated value on the Series B Stock Redemption Date (the "Series B Stock Redemption Price"). The Series B Stock Redemption Price is payable by us in cash or in shares of common stock at our discretion and shall be paid within five trading days after the Series B Stock Redemption Date. In the event we elect to pay all or some of the Series B Stock Redemption Price in shares of common stock, the shares of common stock to be delivered to the purchasers shall be valued at 85% of the fifteen-day volume weighted average price of the common stock on the Series B Stock Redemption Date.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
At March 31, 2009, we did not have any relationship with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, which other companies have established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. Therefore, we are not materially exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.

Trends
To the best of our knowledge, except for the commitments described in “Note 11: Commitments and Contingencies” in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, there are no other known trends or demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that existed at March 31, 2009, which are likely to have a material effect on our future liquidity.

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 the evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded as of the Evaluation Date that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. Disclosure controls are controls and procedures designed to reasonably ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls include controls and procedures designed to reasonably ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
