3DIcon CORPORATION
(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Six Months Ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 and period
From Inception (January 1, 2001) to June 30, 2009
(Unaudited)
Note 1 – Uncertainties and Use of Estimates
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements of 3DIcon Corporation (the “Company”) have been prepared without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's year end audited financial statements and related footnotes included in the previously filed 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2009, and the statements of its operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, 2008 and the period from inception (January 1, 2001) to June 30, 2009, and cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, and the period from inception (January 1, 2001) to June 30, 2009, have been included. The results of operations for interim periods may not be indicative of the results which may be realized for the full year.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions used.
Debt issue costs
The Company defers and amortizes the legal and filing fees associated with long-term debt that is issued. These costs are primarily related to the convertible debentures, the majority of which have a three year term. The amortization is charged to operations over the three year term and then adjusted quarterly for debenture conversions to common stock.
Fair value of financial instruments
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument held by the Company:
Current assets and current liabilities – The carrying value approximates fair value due to the short maturity of these items.
Debentures payable – The fair value of the Company's debentures payable has been estimated by the Company based upon the liability’s characteristics, including interest rate. The carrying value approximates fair value.
Revenue Recognition
Revenues from software license fees are accounted for in accordance with American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition”. The Company recognizes revenue when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable; and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.
Uncertainties
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Company is in the development stage and has insufficient revenue and capital commitments to fund the development of its planned product and to pay operating expenses. Additionally, the Company has been unable to meet its monthly payment obligations and is therefore in default of the Sponsored Research Agreement (“SRA”) (see note 3). A revised payment schedule was agreed to in October 2008 and March 20, 2009. Failure of the Company to meet its revised payment obligations could result in the termination of the SRA and any outstanding license agreements under the SRA. The Company has realized a cumulative net loss of $ 11,819,603 for the period from inception (January 1, 2001) to June 30, 2009, and a net loss of $809,524 and $2,159,695 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern during the next year depends on the successful completion of the Company's capital raising efforts to fund the development of its planned products. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Management plans to fund the future operations of the Company with existing cash of $98,550, grants and investor funding. Under the terms of the Golden State Equity Investors, Inc. (“Golden State”) debentures, Golden State may advance an additional $378,787. The additional advance would be available if the Company filed a registration statement; however, the Company does not plan to file such registration statement. In addition, pursuant to the 4.75% Convertible Debenture due in 2011, beginning in November 2007, Golden State is obligated to submit conversion notices in an amount such that Golden State receives 1% of the outstanding shares of the Company every calendar quarter for a period of one year. In connection with each conversion, Golden State is expected to exercise warrants equal to ten times the amount of principal converted. The warrants are exercisable at $10.90 per share. The number of warrants exercisable is subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations contained in the 4.75% Debenture and the warrants (“the Beneficial Ownership Limitations”). The Beneficial Ownership Limitations prevent Golden State from converting on the 4.75% Debenture or exercising warrants if such conversion or exercise would cause Golden State’s holdings to exceed 9.99% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock. Subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitations, Golden State is required to convert $3,000 of the 4.75% Convertible Debenture and exercise 30,000 warrants per month. Based upon our current stock price, our issued and outstanding shares as of June 30, 2009 and ignoring the impact of the Beneficial Ownership Limitations, we may receive up to $693,650, in funding from Golden State as a result of warrant exercises subsequent to June 30, 2009.
The Company was approved for a matching grant from Oklahoma Center for the Advancement of Science and Technology (“OCAST”) on November 19, 2008 in the amount of $299,932. The award is for a maximum of $149,940 for calendar year 2009 with the remainder for calendar year 2010. Funding of the grant is contingent upon the Company providing matching funds for the first year's research and submission of all required documentation to OCAST.
Additionally, the Company is continuing to pursue financing through private offering of debt or common stock.
Note 2 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The following are summaries of recent accounting pronouncements that are relevant to the Company:
In April 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Staff Position (FSP) FAS No. 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1), which amends Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, to require disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods, as well as annual reporting periods. FSP-FAS 107-1 and APB 28- are effective this quarter and shall be applied prospectively. The adoption of FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 did not have a significant impact on our financial statements.
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, "Subsequent Events" ("SFAS 165"). SFAS 165 is intended to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. It requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for selecting that date, that is, whether that date represents the date the financial statements were issued or were available to be issued. SFAS 165 is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of SFAS No. 165 do not have any affect on our financial statements.
In April 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position (“FSP”) No. FAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets” (“FSP FAS 142-3”). FSP FAS 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” This FSP is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The guidance contained in this FSP for determining the useful life of a recognized intangible asset is applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after the effective date. Additional disclosures required in this FSP are applied prospectively to all intangible assets recognized as of, and subsequent to, the effective date. The implementation of this FSP did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("SFAS 157"). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework and gives guidance regarding the methods used for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. In February 2008, the FASB released FASB Staff Position, (FSP) SFAS 157-2—Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, which delays the effective date of SFAS 157 for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually) to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. We adopted SFAS 157 as it applies to financial assets and liabilities as of January 1, 2008. The implementation of SFAS 157, as it relates to financial assets and liabilities did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS 159”). This Statement permits entities to make an irrevocable election to measure certain financial instruments and other assets and liabilities at fair value on an instrument-by-instrument basis. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option is elected will be recognized in net earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS 159 was effective for the Company’s year that began January 1, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 159 did not have a material effect on the financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. (“SFAS 161”) SFAS 161 changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedge items are accounted for under Statement 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 is intended to enhance the current disclosure framework in SFAS 133 and requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk related contingent features in derivative agreements. The provisions of SFAS 161 are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
In May 2008, FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. This statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States (the GAAP hierarchy). This statement is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Presented Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
Note 3 – Sponsored Research Agreement (SRA)
On April 20, 2004, the Company entered into a SRA entitled "Investigation of Emerging Digital Holography Technologies" (Phase I) with the University of Oklahoma - Tulsa (“University”), which expired October 19, 2004. On July 15, 2005, the Company entered into a SRA with the University (Phase II), which expired January 14, 2007. Under this agreement the University conducted a research project entitled "Investigation of Emerging 3-Dimensional Display Technologies". The agreement was modified in November 2006 to provide additional funding, and extended the term of the agreement through June 30, 2007.
On February 23, 2007, the Company entered into a SRA with the University (Phase III) which expires March 31, 2010. Under this agreement the University will conduct a research project entitled “3-Dimensional Display Development” that seeks to make significant progress in the development of 3-dimensional display technologies. The Company agreed to pay the University $3,468,595 payable in monthly installments ranging from $92,263 to $112,777 beginning April 30, 2007 and ending March 31, 2010, an aggregate commitment of $4,047,439.
On October 31, 2008 and on March 20, 2009, the University agreed to revise the payment terms under the SRA from a fixed monthly payment to a reimbursable cost payment basis effective September 1, 2008. As of September 30, 2008, the Company had a remaining obligation under the previous SRA payment schedule of $2,665,818, which includes monthly payments due for December 2007 through August 2008 of $861,131. The $1,804,687 balance of the remaining SRA scheduled payment obligation was cancelled. Under the terms of the revised base payments schedule, the arrearages will be paid in nine monthly base installments from July 31, 2009 to February 28, 2010 of amounts ranging from $35,000 to $101,132, leaving a remaining balance after the base payments of $290,000. In addition to the monthly base payments, the Company agreed to make additional payments on the $861,131 arrearages of $10,000 per month. For the remaining balance of $290,000, the University agreed to accept 4,264,707 shares of the Company’s common stock based on the October 14, 2008 market price as reported on the OTC Bulletin Board of $0.068 per share as payment on June 30, 2009. The Company has the option to repurchase the shares at $0.068 per share by September 30, 2009 or at market value, but not less than $0.068 per share, if the repurchase occurs after September 30, 2009.
During the periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company charged operations $60,473 and $576,679, respectively, pursuant to the SRA. At June 30, 2009, the Company owed the University $18,448 for the May and June 2009 monthly payments and $595,481on the arrearages under the revised payment terms.

Golden State Investors, Inc. - Securities Purchase Agreement
6.25% Convertible Debenture due 2009
The Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) with Golden State on November 3, 2006, as amended on December 15, 2006 and February 6, 2007, for the sale of a 6.25% convertible debenture in the principal amount of $1,250,000 (the “First Debenture”). The Company agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC for the resale of the common stock underlying the debenture. The registration statement became effective on July 3, 2007. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Golden State advanced $125,000 during 2006 and converted the $125,000 debenture into 357,142 shares of common stock on July 16, 2007 at $0.35 per share. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, Golden State provided the Company with an additional $312,500 of debenture funding upon effectiveness of the registration statement and converted the $312,500 debenture into 892,857 shares of common stock on July 17, 2007 at $0.35 per share. The remaining $812,500 of the $1.25 million debenture was placed with an escrow agent during 2007. During the remainder of 2007, $400,000 was released to the Company and the balance of $412,500 was released in 2008. At various dates after the July 3, 2007 effective date of the registration statement, $478,529 of the debenture was converted into 2,097,406 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $0.20 to $0.26 during 2007 and, during the first quarter of 2008, the remaining $333,971 of the debenture was converted into 2,061,573 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $0.12 to $0.20 based on the formula in the convertible debenture.
6.25% Convertible Debenture due 2010
Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, on October 24, 2007, at such time as the principal balance of the First Debenture was less than $400,000, the Company provided Golden State with written notice that it desired to require Golden State to purchase the second debenture.
On November 21, 2007, the Company issued and sold a convertible note in the principal amount of $1,250,000 to Golden State (the “Second Debenture”). Pursuant to the terms of the Second Debenture, Golden State may, at its election, convert all or a part of the Second Debenture into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion rate equal to the lesser of (i) $2.00 or (ii) 90% of the average of the five lowest volume weighted average prices during the twenty trading days prior to Golden State’s election to convert, subject to adjustment as provided in the Second Debenture. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Second Debenture, the Company agreed to file a registration statement covering the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion or redemption of the Second Debenture. The registration statement became effective on January 4, 2008.
Golden State advanced $125,000 on the second $1.25 million debenture on November 9, 2007. Additionally, Golden State advanced $312,500 directly to the Company and $433,713 to an escrow account on the Second Debenture in January 2008 at which time the Company placed 7,961,783 shares of common stock in escrow to be released as debentures are converted. As of December 31, 2008, Golden State has funded an aggregate of $871,213 on the Second Debenture. Golden State will be obligated to fund the Company for the remaining $378,787 in principal on the Second Debenture upon the effectiveness of a registration statement underlying the remaining unfunded principal balance on the Second Debenture. At this time, the Company has not filed a registration statement. Under the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the escrowed funds were advanced to the Company during 2008. At various dates during 2008, $292,611 of the debenture was converted into 3,651,337 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $0.05 to $0.14 based on the formula in the convertible debenture. There was no debenture conversions during the six-month period ended June 30, 2009. Shares remaining in escrow and reported as outstanding at June 30, 2009 total 4,310,449.
The Second Debenture is secured by the pledge of 11 million shares of common stock held by Martin Keating, the Chairman of the Company. In the event of default and the Company has not repaid all outstanding principal and accrued interest, along with liquidating damages of $250,000 within one day of default, Golden State shall have the right to immediately sell the pledged shares in satisfaction of any amounts of principal and interest owing under the Second Debenture.
In addition to standard default provisions concerning timeliness of payments, delivery and notifications, the Second Debenture will be in default if the common stock of the Company trades at a price per share of $0.21 or lower, regardless of whether the trading price subsequently is higher than $0.21 per share. The trading price was at $0.21 or lower on several occasions during 2009 and 2008. On each of the occasions Golden State, by separate letter agreements, agreed that the occasions did not constitute a default and thereby waived the default provision for those occasions only.
4.75% Convertible Debenture due 2011
On November 3, 2006, the Company also issued to Golden State a 4.75% convertible debenture in a principal amount of $100,000, due 2011, and warrants to buy 1,000,000 shares of the common stock at an exercise price of $10.90 per share. Under the terms of the debenture, warrants are exercised in an amount equal to ten times the dollar amount of the debenture conversion. During 2007 Golden State converted $596 of the $100,000 debenture into 244,045 shares of common stock at $0.002 per share, exercised warrants to purchase 5,956 shares of common stock at $10.90 per share and the Company received $64,920 from the exercise of the warrants. During 2008, Golden State converted $2,726 of the $100,000 debenture into 5,115,695 shares of common stock at $0.002 per share, exercised warrants to purchase 27,261 shares of common stock at $10.90 per share and the Company received $297,145 from the exercise of the warrants. During 2009, Golden State converted $1,980 of the $100,000 debenture into 12,658,049 shares of common stock at $0.002 per share, exercised warrants to purchase 19,800 shares of common stock at $10.90 per share and the Company received $215,820 from the exercise. During 2009 and 2008 Golden State advanced $90,000 and $200,000 respectively against future exercises of warrants of which $253,970 was applied leaving a balance of $36,030, of unapplied advances at June 30, 2009.
9.75% Convertible due July 31, 2009
To obtain funding for ongoing operations, the Company entered into a Bridge Financing Agreement with Golden State which closed on June 11, 2007 (the “Financing Agreement”), for the sale of a 9.75% convertible debenture in the principal amount of $700,000. Pursuant to the Financing Agreement, the Company filed a registration statement with the SEC within three days of closing for the resale of the common stock underlying the $1.25 million convertible debenture, which was issued to Golden State November 3, 2006. The Company received gross proceeds of $700,000 from the sale of the aforementioned debenture. At various dates during 2009, $278,500 of the debenture was converted into 20,115,137 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $0.01 to $0.03 per common share based on the formula in the convertible debenture. At various dates during 2008, $336,000 of the debenture was converted into 8,079,895 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $0.04 to $0.05 per common share based on the formula in the convertible debenture. At various dates during 2009, $278,500 of the debenture was converted into 20,115,137 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $0.009 to $0.029 per common share based on the formula in the convertible debenture. The June 8, 2008 original due date of the 9.75% debentures has been extended to July 31, 2009 (see Subsequent Events).
Newton, O’Connor, Turner & Ketchum:
On May 22, 2009, the Company issued to Newton, O’Connor, Turner & Ketchum, a professional corporation (“NOTK”) and the legal counsel to the Company, a 10% convertible debenture in a principal amount of $100,703, due September 30, 2009, and warrants to purchase 4,378,394 shares of the common stock at an exercise price of $0.09 per share through September 30, 2010 and an exercise price of $0.18 per share through September 30, 2014. The Company was indebted to NOTK for legal services performed for the Company and reimbursement of expenses in rendition of those services for the period ended December 31, 2008. The debenture and the warrants were issued in settlement of the indebtedness. The debentures and warrants were recorded at their pro rata fair values in relation to the proceeds received. The warrants were valued at $13,504. The difference between the pro rata fair value and face value of the debenture is being amortized over the life of the debenture.
The estimated fair value of the warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

Plan of Operation
Background:
The Company is engaged in the development of 360 o volumetric imaging and display technology, specifically in the areas identified by the initial in-depth investigation conducted by the University of Oklahoma (OU or University). The identified areas are two major complementary areas of technology that comprise the spectrum of the solution and application (1) a means of recording 3D objects as digital holographic data elements (capture); and (2) a means of reconstructing and displaying the 3D images (display).
Based on the investigation as well as review of existing patents and technologies, it was concluded that the area of 3-D image capture and recording had multiple solutions and technologies that adequately served the market. Therefore our primary area of focus is to develop products and intellectual property in the reconstruction and display of 3D images where we see the most opportunity. We aim to establish strategic partnerships with the assignees or license holders of existing 3D recording technologies as well as integrate our technologies with existing solutions.
The existing products reviewed can generally be broken down into two broad categories: stereoscopic - those that use flat-panels to implement 3D displays on 2D screens, and those that implement volumetric 3D displays. The flat-panel approaches, as previously noted, do not support 3DIcon’s planned embodiment of the technology. However, the application space of volumetric 3D displays supports the Company vision and appears to offer major opportunities for further technology development and creation of intellectual property through the University of Oklahoma, to which 3DIcon will have exclusive world-wide rights.
The research team at OU has been working to integrate open source image capture applications as well as to establish 3D image capture systems.
We continue to build intellectual property through the University of Oklahoma, to which 3DIcon has exclusive rights and engage in product research and development both directly related to the display as well as by-product technologies.
Current Activities and Operations
Currently the Company is pursuing the research and development of volumetric 3-D display technology through the Sponsored Research Agreement (“SRA”) with the University of Oklahoma (“OU”). Our efforts are focused on the technological approach for volumetric display which has been developed into a proof-of-concept system.
Static Volume Display Technology: Also known as CSpace™, 3DIcon has produced the first non-mechanical, 360-degree, multi-view, high-resolution volumetric display. A prototype was demonstrated during September 2008, when a 3D image was created within a proprietary volumetric media (also called projection space or image matrix).
This technology incorporates existing and rapidly evolving image projection technologies, such as DLP®/DMD technology from Texas Instruments, allowing 3DIcon to pursue full-color, full-motion 3D visualization, in harmony with 3DIcon’s vision for product development.
We have also released a software product called Pixel Precision™. The current version of the software is 2.0. We plan to continue to pursue this market and provide versions and variations of this software. The plans include enhancements to the functionality as well as variants to address additional opportunities.
We have signed a sales and distribution agreement with Digital Light Innovations (DLi) for the sales, marketing and first level support of the Pixel Precision™ software. Through DLi and its sub-distributors the software is being marketed in the United States as well as in Europe and Asia.
The Oklahoma Center for the Advancement of Science and Technology (“OCAST”) approved our application for funding of a matching grant titled 800 Million Voxels Volumetric Display, on November 19, 2008. The two-year matching grant totals $299,932. The award is for a maximum of $149,940 for the calendar year 2009 and the remainder for the calendar year 2010. Funding beyond 2009 is contingent upon satisfactory performance evaluation and the availability of funds.
Progress on Research and Development Activities
The research team at OU filed two new patent applications in the first quarter of 2008 and converted one from a provisional to a utility filing.
Under the aegis of the SRA, the University has filed the following Patent Applications. The Utility Patents have been converted and consolidated from the previously filed Provisional Applications.
Description of Provisional Patent Application as Filed | | Description of Utility Patent Application Filing (Combined) | | Date of Filing |

The Company has also filed its own provisional patent for a new display screen which it believes has significant advantages and market potential.
Further, we are taking steps to explore areas that may be related to assist in the protection of intellectual property assets. In addition, we have begun the process of applying for trademarks related to our 3D technologies.
Our research and development objectives for the 2009 calendar year are as follows. The work will mainly be done by researchers, faculty and selected graduate or doctoral level students at the University of Oklahoma with oversight by 3DIcon personnel:
I. Static Volumetric Display (CSpace™)
| · | Continue work on development of blue and red up-conversion materials. |
| · | Synthesize near-transparent projection media suitable for dispersion of display materials. |
| · | Investigate the use of additional technologies for development of image space that enhance the commercialization of the technology. Dr. Hakki Refai has begun collaboration with parties outside of OU to explore alternate material development strategies. |
| · | Demonstrate improvements in optical properties for transparent projection materials for Static Volumetric Display and Nano-materials |
II. By-Product Technologies
| · | Continue to generate revenue from Pixel Precision™ the DMD Control Software for DMD Application development markets |
| · | Develop next generation of Pixel Precision™ software for controlling multiple DMDs as well as for controlling the next generation of the DMD-Discovery™ series |
Support Pixel Precision™ for the Discovery 4000 series (D4000).
III. New 3D Technologies
| · | Continue to pursue new 3D opportunities across a broad technological spectrum, with the ultimate goal of the creation of a “free space” 3D display (i.e., one without a visible containment vessel). |
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2009 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2008
Revenue
We launched our first software product PixelPrecision™. We appointed Digital Light Innovations for the sales and distribution of this product in March 2008.
We had $6,500 of earned income from the sales of PixelPrecision™ for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $10,900 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. Shared marketing support costs are charged to operations when incurred.
We expect sales of Pixel Precision™ to the installed and active user base of the earlier D1100 and D3000 systems in the near term and as companion product sales to D4000 systems. We expect that the revenue from this product to contribute to the operating expenses (General and Administrative, R&D, Interest Payments) but do not expect the revenue generated in 2009 to cover the operating expenses. Additionally we received the initial revenue from the OCAST grant of $18,975 for the second quarter of 2009.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2009 COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2008
Revenue
We launched our first software product PixelPrecision™. We appointed Digital Light Innovations for the sales and distribution of this product in March 2008.

We expect that the revenue from this product to contribute to the operating expenses (General and Administrative, R&D, Interest Payments) but do not expect the revenue generated in 2009 to cover the operating expenses. Additionally we received the initial revenue from the OCAST grant of $18,975 for the second quarter of 2009

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Management remains focused on controlling cash expenses. We recognize our limited cash resources and plan our expenses accordingly. We intend to leverage stock-for-services wherever possible. The operating budget consists of the following expenses:
| · | Research and development expenses pursuant to our Sponsored Research Agreement with the University of Oklahoma. This includes development of an initial demonstrable prototype and a second prototype for static volume technology |
| · | Acceleration of R&D increased research personnel as well as other research agencies |
| · | General and Administrative expenses: salaries, insurance, investor related expenses, rent, travel, website, etc. |
| · | Hiring executive officers for technology, operations and finance |
| · | Development, support and operational costs related to Pixel Precision™ software |
| · | Professional fees for accounting and audit; legal services for securities and financing; patent research and protection |
Our independent registered public accountants, in their audit report accompanying our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008, expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern due to our status as a development stage organization with insufficient revenues to fund development and operating expenses.
We had net cash of $98,550 at June 30, 2009.
We had negative working capital of $1,217,440 at June 30, 2009.
During the six months ended June 30, 2009, we used $191,671 of cash for operating activities, a decrease of $1,001,598 or 83.9% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease in the use of cash for operating activities was a result of a decrease in the net loss for the period.
Cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $ -0- , a decrease of $19,599 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease was a result of purchasing office furniture and equipment for the leased office space in 2008.
Cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $241,821, a decrease of $638,638 or 72.5% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease was the result of the decreased debenture funding in 2009.
We expect to fund the ongoing operations through the existing financing in place (see below); through raising additional funds as permitted by the terms of Golden State Equity Investors, Inc. (“Golden State”) financing as well as reducing our monthly expenses.
Debentures payable
In accordance with the terms of the Second Debenture an event of default occurs if the common stock of the Company trades at a price per share of $0.21 or lower. The trading price was at $0.21 or lower on several occasions during the six months ended June 30, 2009. On each of the occasions Golden State, by separate letter agreements, agreed that the occasions did not constitute a default and thereby waived the default provision for the occasions.
During the six months ended June 30, 2009 Golden State converted $278,500 of the 9.75% convertible debenture into 20,115,137 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $0.009 to $0.029 per share, converted $1,980 of the 4.75% convertible debenture into 12,658,049 shares of common stock at $0.0002 per share and exercised 19,800 warrants at $10.90 per share for $215,820 under the terms of the securities purchase agreements.
Common stock and paid in capital
Concordia was issued 7,920,215, shares of common stock in payment of $94,500 for services under the consulting agreement. Common shares totaling 10,348,458 were issued to vendors in payment of $153,880 for services.
Pursuant to a Subscription Agreement dated March 20, 2009, the Company sold 999,999 shares of the Company’s common stock at a per share price of $.03 per share and warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $.10 per share from closing for a period of twelve months or $.15 per share for the second subsequent twelve months to three accredited individual. The Company received $30,000 in cash from the sale. The warrants terminate on March 25, 2011.
On June 18, 2009, the Company entered into a subscription agreement with one of its directors, Victor Keen, pursuant to which Mr. Keen advanced $100,000 to purchase 14,705,882 shares of the Company’s common stock at a per shares price equal to 50% of the average of the closing price during the five (5) days prior to June 15, 2009 ($0.0068 per share). The shares are to be issued by September 1, 2009.
On June 6, 2009 Victor Keen, a director of the Company was issued 4,000,000 restricted shares of common stock to recognize Mr. Keen’s participation providing certain advisory and consultative services to the Company which are beyond his required duties as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors. The restricted shares value $33,600 was determine by using 50% of the June 6, 2009 trading price of $0.016 which results in a calculated value of $0.0084 per share.
Newton, O’Connor, Turner & Ketchum convertible debenture with warrants attached:
On May 22, 2009, the Company issued to Newton, O’Connor, Turner & Ketchum, a professional corporation (“NOTK”) and the legal counsel to the Company, a 10% convertible debenture in a principal amount of $100,703, due September 30, 2009, and warrants to purchase 4,378,394 shares of the common stock at an exercise price of $0.09 per share through September 30, 2010 and an exercise price of $0.18 per share through September 30, 2014. The Company was indebted to NOTK for legal services performed for the Company and reimbursement of expenses in rendition of those services for the period ended December 31, 2008. The debenture and the warrants were issued in settlement of the indebtedness. The debentures and warrants were recorded at their pro rata fair values in relation to the proceeds received. The warrants were valued at $13,504. The difference between the pro rata fair value and face value of the debenture is being amortized over the life of the debenture.
The estimated fair value of the warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The expected dividend yield of $-0- is based on the average annual dividend yield as of the grant date. Expected volatility of 160.73% is based on the historical volatility of the stock since July 25, 2007, the day the Company began trading on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board. The risk-free interest rate of 2.23% is based on the U.S. Treasury Constant Maturity rates as of the grant date. The expected life of the option of two years is based on historical exercise behavior and expected future experience
Our ability to fund the operations of the Company is highly dependent on the underlying stock price of the Company. As a result of our stock price being around the 52 week low mark and trending downward, our ability to raise cash is restricted.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern during the next year depends on the successful completion of the Company's capital raising efforts to fund the development of its planned products. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Management plans to fund the future operations of the Company with existing cash of $98,550, grants and investor funding. Under the terms of the Golden State debentures, Golden State may advance an additional $378,787. However, the additional funding would only be available if the Company filed a registration statement. However, the Company does not plan to file such registration statement. In addition, pursuant to the 4.75% Convertible Debenture due in 2011, beginning in November 2007, Golden State is obligated to submit conversion notices in an amount such that Golden State receives 1% of the outstanding shares of the Company every calendar quarter for a period of one year. In connection with each conversion, Golden State is expected to exercise warrants equal to 10 times the amount of principal converted. The warrants are exercisable at $10.90 per share. The number of warrants exercisable is subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations contained in the 4.75% Debenture and the warrants (“the Beneficial Ownership Limitations”). The Beneficial Ownership Limitations prevent Golden State from converting on the 4.75% Debenture or exercising warrants if such conversion or exercise would cause Golden State’s holdings to exceed 9.99% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock. Subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitations, Golden State is required to convert $3,000 of the 4.75% Convertible Debenture and exercise 30,000 warrants per month. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, we received an aggregate of $90,000 from Golden State from such warrant exercises. Based upon our current stock price, and ignoring the impact of the Beneficial Ownership Limitations, we may receive up to $693,650 in funding from Golden State though the remaining 6 months of 2009 as a result of warrant exercises.
On November 19, 2008, we received a research grant from OCAST titled the 800 Million Voxels Volumetric Display. The two-year matching grant totals $299,932. The award is for a maximum of $149,940 for the calendar year 2009 and the remainder for calendar year 2010. Funding of the 2009 amount is contingent upon the Company providing matching funds for the first year’s research and submission of all required documentation to OCAST. Funding beyond 2009 is contingent upon satisfactory performance evaluation and the availability of funds. The OCAST matching grant titled 800 Million Voxels Volumetric funded $18,975 during the six months ended June 30, 2009 under the terms of the grant.
During the fourth quarter of 2008 and the first quarter of 2009, the Company had been unable to meets its monthly payment obligations under the Sponsored Research Agreement (“SRA”) and received notification that they were in default. A new payment schedule has been negotiated. Failure of the Company to meet its payment obligations under the new payments schedule could result in the termination of the SRA, termination of the related projects and termination of any outstanding license agreements under the SRA.
On October 31, 2008 and on March 20, 2009 OU agreed to revise the payment terms under the SRA from a fixed monthly payment to a reimbursable cost payment basis effective September 1, 2008. As of September 30, 2008 the Company had a remaining obligation under the previous SRA payment schedule of $2,665,818 which includes monthly payments due for December 2007 through August 2008 of $861,131. The $1,804,687 balance of the remaining SRA scheduled payment obligation was cancelled. Under the terms of the revised base payments schedule, the arrearages will be paid in nine monthly base installments from July 31, 2009 to February 28, 2010 of amounts ranging from $35,000 to $101,132, leaving a remaining balance after the base payments of $290,000. In addition to the monthly base payments, the Company agreed to make additional payments on the $861,131 arrearages of $10,000 per month. For the remaining balance of $290,000, OU agreed to accept 4,264,707 shares of the Company’s common stock based on the October 14, 2008 market price as reported on the OTC Bulletin Board of $0.068 per share as payment on June 30, 2009. The Company has the option to repurchase the shares at $0.068 per share by September 30, 2009 or at market value, but not less than $0.068 per share, if the repurchase occurs after September 30, 2009.
In payment of the $290,000 due June 30, 2009 under the revised SRA payment schedule, The University of Oklahoma accepted 4,264,707 shares of the Company’s common stock based on the October 14, 2008 market price as reported on the OTC Bulletin Board of $0.068 per share as payment on June 30, 2009.
Should the Company fail to timely pay any of the amounts owed above, OU may immediately and without notice or opportunity to cure, may terminate any or all existing agreements between the parties, including but not limited to, the Exclusive License Agreement, the Facilities/Resources Use Agreement, and the 2009 SRAs. Termination of the license agreement with OU shall forfeit the Company’s rights to any or all intellectual property licensed to it under the terminated license.
During the periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company charged operations $60,473 and $576,679, respectively, pursuant to the SRA. At June 30, 2009, the Company owed the University $18,448 for the May and June 2009 monthly payments and $595,481 on the arrearages under the revised payment terms.
In addition, management has reduced operating expenses further through temporary salary cuts, partial payments to consultants using stock and reduction in daily expenses. We anticipate that this, along with other measures, will reduce our current cash flow burn rate from $267,000 per month to an estimated amount of $120,000 to $150,000 per month.
We also intend to raise additional funds as permitted by the terms of Golden State financing, to help with the short term capital needs.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
3DIcon does not engage in any off balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.
Significant Accounting Policies
Research and Development Costs
Statement of Accounting Standards No. 2, “Accounting for Research and Development Costs,” requires that all research and development costs be expensed as incurred. Until we have developed a commercial product, all costs incurred in connection with the Sponsored Research Agreement with the University of Oklahoma, as well as all other research and development costs incurred, will be expensed. After a commercial product has been developed, we will report costs incurred in producing products for sale as assets, but we will continue to expense costs incurred for further product research and development activities.
Stock-Based Compensation
Since its inception 3DIcon has used its common stock or warrants to purchase its common stock as a means of compensating our employees and consultants. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation” and No. 123(R), “Share Based Payments,” requires us to estimate the value of securities used for compensation and to charge such amounts to expense over the periods benefited.
The estimated fair value at date of grant of options for our common stock is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, as follows:
The expected dividend yield is based on the average annual dividend yield as of the grant date. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of our stock. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury Constant Maturity rates as of the grant date. The expected life of the option is based on historical exercise behavior and expected future experience.
Subsequent Events
Debentures payable
In accordance with the terms of the Second Debenture, an event of default occurs if the common stock of the Company trades at a price per share of $0.21 or lower. The trading price was at $0.21 or lower on several occasions subsequent to June 30, 2009. On each of the occasions Golden State, by separate letter agreements, agreed that the occasions did not constitute a default and thereby waived the default provision for the occasions.
Subsequent to June 30, 2009 Golden State converted the remaining balance of $85,500 of the 9.75% convertible debenture into 9,588,373 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $0.008 to $0.009 per share, converted $230 of the 4.75% convertible debenture into 2,556,357 shares of common stock at $0.0002 per share and exercised 2,300 warrants at $10.90 per share for $25,070 under the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreements.
