PART 1 – FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM I. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Oryon Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”, “Oryon” or the “Registrant”) at September 30, 2013 (with comparative figures at December 31, 2012), the consolidated statements of operations for the quarters and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, and the consolidated statement of changes in shareholders’ equity (deficit) for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, have been prepared by the Company’s management in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America(“GAAP”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows have been included and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 7, 2013, and in the Company’s other filings with the SEC since that date.
On October 24, 2011, the Company entered into a binding letter of intent (“LOI”) with OryonTechnologies, LLC (“OTLLC”) in connection with a proposed reverse acquisition transaction (the “Merger”) between the Company and OTLLC whereby OTLLC agreed to merge with Oryon Merger Sub, LLC, a Texas limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”) in exchange for the issuance to the members of OTLLC of eight (8) shares of the Company’s common stock for each outstanding membership unit of OTLLC.In accordance with the terms of the LOI, the terms and conditions of the Merger were to be set forth in a formal definitive agreement. To that end, on March 9, 2012, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger by and between the Company, OTLLC and Merger Sub (the “Merger Agreement”). Upon the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) on May 4, 2012(the “Closing Date”), OTLLC became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and the Company issued 16,502,121 shares of common stock to the members of OTLLC in exchange for the then outstanding 2,062,765.12 membership units of OTLLC. In addition, OTLLC had outstanding equity equivalents, consisting of convertible notes payable, accrued interest on the notes payable, warrants and unit options, that by their terms required the Company to be prepared to issue common stock in an amount equal to the number of shares (at the 8 to 1 ratio) that would have been issuable at the Closing Date to holders of all of the equity equivalents if they had been converted to membership units before the Closing.
The Merger was accounted for as a reverse-merger and recapitalization in accordance with GAAP. In conjunction with the Merger, OTLLC assumed no liabilities from the Company and all members of the Company’s executive management are from OTLLC. OTLLC is deemed to be the acquirer for financial reporting purposes and the Company is the acquired company. Consequently, the assets and liabilities and the operations that are reflected in the historical financial statements prior to the Merger are those of OTLLC and are recorded at the historical cost basis of OTLLC, and the consolidated financial statements after completion of the Merger include the assets and liabilities of the Company and OTLLC, historical operations of OTLLC and operations of the Company from the Closing Date. Membership units and the corresponding capital amounts of OTLLC pre-Merger have been retroactively restated as shares of common stock reflecting the eight (8) to one exchange ratio in the Merger. All references in this document to equity securities and all equity related historical financial measurements, including weighted average shares outstanding, earnings per share, par value of common stock, additional paid in capital, option exercise prices and warrant exercise prices, have been retroactively restated to reflect the Merger exchange ratio.
Operating results for the interim periods presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the entire fiscal year.

Organization and Basis of Presentation
Oryon Technologies, Inc. (“Oryon” or the “Company”) has only one direct subsidiary, OryonTechnologies, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“OTLLC”). The Company is a developer of a patented electroluminescent (“EL”) lighting technology, trademarked as Elastolite® that enables thin, flexible, crushable, water-resistant lighting systems to be incorporated into multiple applications such as safety apparel, sporting goods, consumer goods and membrane switches, among others. OTLLC is the parent of two wholly-owned companies: OryonTechnologies Licensing, LLC (“OTLIC”) and OryonTechnologiesDevelopment, LLC (“OTD”), both of which are also Texas limited liability companies.
OTLLC also previously owned OryonTechnologies International Pte. Ltd. (“OTI”), a Singapore-based corporation. Operations at OTI were suspended in May 2009 and OTI was liquidated in November 2012. The operations of OTI were not material to Oryon. OTI originally owned 51% of Oryon-Asia Pacific Safety, Limited (“OAPS”), which was formed in December 2006 as a Hong Kong limited company. During 2011, the 51% ownership was transferred to OTLLC. The other 49% of OAPS was owned by two non-affiliated individuals. Operations of OAPS were suspended in February 2011 and OAPS is in the final stage of liquidation. The operations of OAPS were not material to Oryon.
The accompanying unaudited financial statements of Oryon have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Because a precise determination of many assets and liabilities is dependent upon future events, the preparation of financial statements for a period necessarily involves the use of estimates, which have been made using careful judgment. Actual results may vary from these estimates.
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applicable to a going concern, which assume that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for its next fiscal year. Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown and these financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
At September 30, 2013, the Company had cash of $9,410 and had not yet achieved profitable operations. The Company has had accumulated losses of $11,759,151 since its inception and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business, all of which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due.
The Company expects to continue to incur substantial losses as it executes its business plan and does not expect to attain profitability in the near future. Since its inception, the Company has funded operations through short-term borrowings and equity investments in order to meet its strategic objectives. The Company's future operations are dependent upon external funding and its ability to execute its business plan, realize sales and control expenses. Management cannot guarantee that sufficient funding will be available from additional borrowings and equity placements to meet its business objectives, including anticipated cash needs for working capital, for a reasonable period of time. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain sufficient funds to continue the development of its business operation, or if obtained, upon terms acceptable to the Company.
These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 7, 2013, and in the Company’s other filings with the SEC since that date. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Corporate History and the Merger
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on August 22, 2007 with the name “Eaglecrest Resources, Inc.” and 100,000,000 authorized common shares with a par value of $0.001.On August 6, 2010, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to increase its number of authorized shares of common stock to 600,000,000 shares of common stock, par value of $0.006 per share. On November 4, 2011, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to decrease the par value of its common stock from $0.006 to $0.001 per share. On November 25, 2011, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to change its name from “Eaglecrest Resources, Inc.” to “Oryon Holdings, Inc.” On May 5, 2012, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to change its name from “Oryon Holdings, Inc.” to “Oryon Technologies, Inc.”

The Company was organized for the purpose of acquiring and developing mineral properties. A mineral claim, with unknown reserves, was acquired in August 2007, became impaired in January 2008 and was written off, and the Company had limited operations subsequently. The Company never established the existence of a commercially minable ore deposit and therefore did not reach the exploration stage.
On October 24, 2011, the Company entered into a binding letter of intent (“LOI”) with OTLLC in connection with a proposed reverse acquisition transaction (the “Merger”) between the Company and OTLLC whereby OTLLC agreed to merge with Oryon Merger Sub, LLC, a Texas limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), in exchange for the issuance to the members of OTLLC of eight (8) shares of the Company’s common stock for each outstanding membership unit of OTLLC, which was equal to a total of 16,502,121 shares (assuming that none of OTLLC’s existing Series C Notes were converted before the closing of the Merger).
In accordance with the terms of the LOI, the terms and conditions of the Merger were thereafter set forth in a formal definitive agreement. To that end, on March 9, 2012, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger by and between the Company, OTLLC and Merger Sub (the “Merger Agreement”). Upon the closing of the Merger on May 4, 2012(the “Closing Date”), OTLLC became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, the Company issued 16,502,121 shares of common stock to the members of OTLLC and the promissory notes receivable from OTLLC became intercompany obligations within the corporate group (and have been cancelled).
In connection with the Merger, the Company received $2.0 million in proceeds from the private equity offering, issuing 4.0 million shares of common stock, par value $0.001 (along with warrants for the purchase an additional 4.0 million shares of common stock at the current exercise price of $0.50 per share and having a term of five (5) years).
As a result of the Merger, the OTLLC members acquired the majority of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock, OTLLC became a wholly-owned subsidiary, and the Company acquired the business and operations of OTLLC.In conjunction with the Merger, OTLLC assumed no liabilities from the Company and all members of the Company’s executive management are from OTLLC.The Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K, as amended, dated May 4, 2012, describing the Merger and providing information concerning OTLLC.
The Merger was accounted for as a reverse-merger and recapitalization in accordance with GAAP. OTLLC is deemed to be the acquirer for financial reporting purposes and the Company is the acquired company. Consequently, the assets and liabilities and the operations that are reflected in the historical financial statements prior to the Merger are those of OTLLC and are recorded at the historical cost basis of OTLLC, and the consolidated financial statements after completion of the Merger include the assets and liabilities of the Company and OTLLC, historical operations of OTLLC and operations of the Company from the Closing Date. Membership units and the corresponding capital amounts of OTLLC pre-Merger have been retroactively restated as shares of common stock reflecting the eight (8) to one exchange ratio of the Merger. All references in the financial statements and notes thereto to equity securities and all equity related historical financial measurements including weighted average shares outstanding, earnings per share, par value of common stock, additional paid in capital, option exercise prices and warrant exercise prices have been retroactively restated to reflect the Merger exchange ratio.
The Company’s common stock is quoted on the OTCQB tier of the U.S. OTC Markets under the symbol ORYN.
1.Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The Company uses the accrual method of accounting and all amounts are denominated in United States dollars. The accounts for OTI, which were maintained in Singapore dollars, were converted from Singapore dollars to United States dollars at historical exchange rates.
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation. “Due to affiliates” represents amounts due to entities that own equity or indebtedness of the Company or a subsidiary but that are not part of the consolidated company presented herein.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

(Unaudited)
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from products when the goods are shipped pursuant to a customer’s purchase order. Revenue from royalties is recorded in the period in which the sales of the underlying products are made. Revenue from license fees is recognized in the period in which they are due and payable.
Cost of Goods Sold
The Company recognizes costs of goods sold as including only direct production costs such as direct materials, direct labor and freight and does not include any allocation of production overhead.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Accounting estimates and assumptions are those that management considers to be the most critical to an understanding of the consolidated financial statements because they inherently involve significant judgments and uncertainties. All of these estimates reflect management’s judgment about current economic and market conditions and their effects based on information available as of the date of these consolidated financial statements. If such conditions persist longer or deteriorate further than expected, it is reasonably possible that the judgments and estimates could change, which may result in future impairments of assets, among other effects.
Significant estimates include the carrying value of intangible assets and the value of equity instruments, including convertible notes, stock options, warrants, and shares issued in lieu of cash.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash held in bank demand deposits. The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivable are accounted for at fair value, do not bear interest, and are short-term in nature. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability to collect on accounts receivable. Based on management’s assessment, the Company provides for estimated uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to the valuation allowance. Balances that remain outstanding after the Company has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to accounts receivable. The Company does not require collateral.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Certain balance sheet items that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are primarily accounts receivable. Concentrations of credit risk with accounts receivable are generally mitigated by the size of the Company’s customers. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon the expected collectability of all accounts receivable.
Inventory
Inventory is carried at the lower of cost or market. A physical inventory count is taken at the end of each calendar quarter and the accounting records are adjusted to match the physical inventory. Inventory cost does not include any allocation of production overhead.
Property and Equipment
Property, equipment, computer hardware and software, and leasehold improvements are carried at historical cost. Expenditures are capitalized only if the cost of the individual asset exceeds $1,200 and the asset is expected to have a business use for greater than 12 months.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis over the estimated useful life of the property acquired. Equipment and furniture is depreciated over 60 months. Computer software and hardware is depreciated over 36 months. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the life of the lease or the life of the improvement, whichever is shorter.
Inter-company transfers of assets are recorded at depreciated cost, with no change in estimated life or monthly depreciation.

Research and Development
The Company expenses all costs associated with the development of applications for the Company’s technology as the costs are incurred.
Intangible Assets
Amortization is computed based on the straight line method over the life of the patent, which is 180 months beginning with the month when the patent is granted. The amortization is based on the historical cost of each individual patent. Costs incurred to renew or extend the terms of patents are expensed as incurred.
The Company annually assesses whether the carrying value of its intangible assets exceeds their fair value and records an impairment loss equal to any excess.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities for a change in tax rate is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts more likely than not to be realized.
The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740-10. ASC 740-10 provides several clarifications related to uncertain tax positions. Most notably, a “more likely-than-not” standard for initial recognition of tax positions, a presumption of audit detection and a measurement of recognized tax benefits based on the largest amount that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of realization. ASC 740-10 applies a two-step process to determine the amount of tax benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. First, the Company must determine whether any amount of the tax benefit may be recognized. Second, the Company determines how much of the tax benefit should be recognized (this would only apply to tax positions that qualify for recognition.) No additional liabilities have been recognized as a result of the implementation. Accordingly, the Company has not recognized any penalty, interest or tax impact related to uncertain tax positions. Federal returns for tax years ended December 31, 2009 and after remain open to examination as of December 31, 2012. The statute of limitations differ from state to state; however, generally tax years ended December 31, 2009 and after remain open to state examination as of December 31, 2012.
OTI and OAPS are not consolidated into the Company for purposes of United States tax filings and computations. OTLLC, OTD and OTLIC are limited liability companies and, as such, do not pay federal or state income taxes. Accordingly, no taxes have been accrued on the Company’s records for periods prior to the Merger.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company utilizes equity based awards as a form of compensation for employees, officers and directors. The Company records compensation expense for all awards granted. After assessing alternative valuation models and amortization methods, the Company uses the Black-Scholes valuation model and straight-line amortization of compensation expense over the requisite service period for each grant. The Company will reconsider use of this model if additional information becomes available in the future that indicates another model would be more appropriate or if grants issued in future periods have characteristics that cannot be reasonably estimated using this model.
Leases
The Company leases office facilities under a non-cancelable operating lease. The Company recognizes rent on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Total deferred compensation | | $ | 337,631 | | | $ | 166,667 | |
Prior to August 31, 2011, the Company was obligated to issue shares to certain senior level employees in lieu of cash wages in connection with employment agreements with those employees. The employment agreements provided that the employees would receive shares in lieu of cash compensation until such time as the Company obtains sufficient capital (as defined in the agreements) to begin paying their agreed-upon compensation in cash. The obligation for additional issuances was accrued each pay period and the Company was obligated to issue the shares at the beginning of each calendar quarter, provided that the employee was still employed by the Company.
As of December 31, 2010, the Company was obligated to issue shares in lieu of $99,094 in wages for the year ended December 31, 2010, (issuable on the first day of the subsequent quarter) and $13,613 in wages for the year ended December 31, 2009. Accordingly, a total of 898,056 shares were issued on January 1, 2011 at a value of $0.125 per share. An additional 1,553,776 shares were issued on October 1, 2011 at a value of $0.125 per share under the employment agreements in lieu of compensation earned between January 1, 2011 and August 31, 2011, for a total of 2,451,832 shares issued in 2011 in lieu of cash wages.
Effective September 1, 2011, the agreements were revised to provide for the indefinite deferral of unpaid wages until sufficient external funding was obtained. Deferred wages at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were $200,854 and $112,979, respectively. An accrual equal to 7.85% of the deferred wages has been established for the employer’s Social Security and Medicare tax obligations that would be required to be paid at the time the deferred wages are paid.
In November 2012, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors and the Board of Directors both approved a program of compensation for independent directors to compensate non-management directors for their services. Management directors receive no compensation for board service. Compensation for independent director services was established as $5,000 per calendar quarter, due at the end of each calendar quarter for services rendered during such period. In addition, the chairman of the Audit Committee receives extra compensation of $1,875 per calendar quarter and the chairman of the Compensation Committee receives extra compensation of $1,250 per calendar quarter. However, payment of cash compensation for director services has been deferred by the Board of Directors through December 31, 2013. Directors are not paid for meetings attended.

“Current portion, promissory notes payable”
In December 2012, the Company executed a promissory note (the “Note”) payable to a former executive and current shareholder in order to consolidate its various obligations to such individual into a single instrument. The Note had an original balance of $211,418 and matures on September 16, 2016.

“Other short-term debt” and “Accrued interest”
During the year ended December 31, 2011, OTLLC was unable to complete a financing deal with a private equity firm that had been expected to provide OTLLC with adequate capital. To fund continuing operations at a reduced level of expenditures, OTLLC received temporary funding from several sources. The Company has since repaid one source in full and the Company’s remaining obligation is included in the table above. During the first and second quarters of 2013, the Company made payments totaling $3,000 and, as of September 30, 2013, $32,000 remained payable. In addition, a vendor previously required that the outstanding accounts payable balance of $287,145 be converted to a promissory note. Such note accrues interest at 10% annually ($63,480 and $42,010 accrued through September 30, 2013, and December 31, 2012, respectively) and is payable upon demand. This note matured on December 15, 2011 and management has engaged in negotiations with the vendor to extend the note or replace it with a new promissory note.
“Short-term advances”
In connection with the Merger, the Company received $2.0 million in proceeds from the private equity offering, issuing 4.0 million shares of common stock, par value $0.001 (along with warrants for the purchase an additional 4.0 million shares of common stock at the current exercise price of $0.50 per share and having a term of five (5) years). In the first nine months of 2013, investors holding certain of the warrants provided the Company with $390,000 in financial support by providing short-term advances to the Company against the exercise of their warrants at a future time of the investors’ choice. The balance of the short-term advances was $390,000 and $0 as of September 30, 2013, and December 31, 2012, respectively. No timing for the exercise of the warrants has been determined.

Information regarding historical indebtedness
In October 2011, OTLLC signed a binding letter of intent to negotiate a merger agreement with the Company. Through December 31, 2011, in connection with the letter of intent, OTLLC issued promissory notes to the Company in the amount of $325,000 in connection with the advance by the Company to OTLLC of $325,000. The funds for this advance were obtained by the Company pursuant to a private offering whereby for each dollar invested, the investor(s) making such investment would be issued two (2) shares of common stock of the Company and a warrant to purchase two (2) shares of common stock of the Company with a current exercise price of $0.50 per share and a term of five (5) years. The proceeds of the private offering through December 31, 2011, resulted in the obligation to issue 650,000 shares of common stock (along with warrants for the purchase of an additional 650,000 shares of common stock at a current exercise price of $0.50 per share).
During the three months ended March 31, 2012, OTLLC issued additional promissory notes to the Company in the amount of $200,000 in connection with the advance by the Company to OTLLC of $200,000, for a total cumulative amount of $525,000 of promissory notes as of March 31, 2012. In April 2012, OTLLC issued additional promissory notes to the Company in the amount of $200,000 in connection with the advance by the Company to OTLLC of an additional $200,000, for a total cumulative amount of $725,000 of promissory notes as of April 30, 2012, and the Closing Date. The funds for these advances were obtained by OTLLC pursuant to the private offering described above. At the Closing Date and April 30, 2012, $725,000 was included on the Company’s balance sheet as notes receivable from OTLLC. Subsequent to April 30, 2012, upon the closing of the Merger on May 4, 2012, all of the promissory notes receivable became intercompany transactions within the consolidated corporate group and were cancelled.
The proceeds of the private offering between December 31, 2011 and the Closing Date resulted in the obligation to issue 800,000 shares of common stock (along with warrants for the purchase of an additional 800,000 shares of common stock at the current exercise price of $0.50 per share and a term of five (5) years) in addition to the obligation to issue 650,000 shares of common stock (along with warrants for the purchase of an additional 650,000 shares of common stock at the current exercise price of $0.50 per share) that existed at December 31, 2011. Of the resulting cumulative total of 1,450,000 shares that the Company was obligated to issue pursuant to the private offering through April 30, 2012 and the Closing Date, 800,000 shares (along with the warrants for the purchase of 800,000 additional shares at the current exercise price of $0.50 per share and a term of five (5) years) were issued on March 12, 2012, so that as of April 30, 2012 and the Closing Date, the net amount of 650,000 shares (along with warrants for the purchase of an additional 650,000 shares at the current exercise price of $0.50 per share) remained to be issued by the Company to fulfill subscriptions in an aggregate amount of $325,000.
8.Other Current Liabilities
Other liabilities at September 30, 2013, and December 31, 2012, consist of accrued corporate operating expenses as estimated by management, including accruals for legal, tax preparation and accounting expenses.
9.Notes Payable, Net
At September 30, 2013, notes payable consist entirely of the current portion of the promissory note discussed above in Note 7, “Current Portion of Promissory Notes and Other Short-Term Debt”.
The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary OTLLC, had three outstanding series of convertible notes (the Series C-1 notes, the Series C-2 notes, and the Series C-3 notes, collectively the “Notes”). Each series of Notes was convertible under certain circumstances into the Company’s common stock at different conversion rates. On August 31, 2012, as a result of the completion of a “Qualified Financing” as defined in the Notes and as modified by the Group Modification Agreement approved by the holders of the Notes in March 2012, the Notes and accumulated accrued interest through August 31, 2012, were converted into 27,158,657 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Conversion”).
Following the Conversion on August 31, 2012, none of the principal and interest of the Notes remained outstanding, but the holders of the Notes retained the detachable warrants to purchase common stock at $0.3125 per share that they had received in connection with their investment in the Notes. The following table shows the number of shares of common stock that would have been issued if all the warrants related to the Notes were exercised as of September 30, 2013 and as of December 31, 2012:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 |
Convertible Debt | | Conversion Price | | Principal and Interest Amounts | | | Potential Shares Issued if Notes Converted | | | Shares Issued if Series C Warrants Exercised @ $0.3125 | |
Series C-1 Notes | | N/A | | $ | - | | | | - | | | | 2,841,440 | |
Series C-2 Notes | | N/A | | | - | | | | - | | | | 3,200,000 | |
Series C-3 Notes | | N/A | | | - | | | | - | | | | 1,972,000 | |
| | | | $ | - | | | | - | | | | 8,013,440 | |
The Company has not included these share equivalents in earnings per share calculations as they are anti-dilutive.
Interest on the Notes accrued at the rate of 5% per annum, compounded annually, and was payable at the election of the Company on the last day of each calendar quarter. Accrued but unpaid interest was added to the principal. Accrued and unpaid interest was converted to shares of common stock when the related Note principal was converted to common stock effective August 31, 2012. The Notes were secured by substantially all assets of OTLLC, and, as a result of the Conversion, the lien on such assets was automatically removed.
The previously outstanding Series A convertible notes payable were determined to have an embedded beneficial conversion feature under the provisions of FASB ASC 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options” based on the 2008 and 2009 issuances at market value of $2 per share and an exercise price of $1.00 per share. In accordance with ASC 470-20, an embedded conversion feature present in a convertible instrument shall be recognized separately at issuance by allocating a portion of the proceeds equal to the intrinsic value of that feature to additional paid-in capital. A discount of $887,950 was recorded for Series A convertible note issuances during 2008 through 2009 and amortization expense recognized in the amounts of $0 and $180,826 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.
In November 2010, OTLLC issued the Series C-1 notes as payoff of the previously outstanding Series A convertible notes and the Series C-2 notes for the previously outstanding Series B convertible notes. As a result of this transaction, a gain on extinguishment of debt was recognized in the amount of $264,676 under the provisions of ASC 470-50, “Modifications and Extinguishments”.
The Series C-1 convertible notes, issued in exchange for the Series A convertible notes, were also determined to have an embedded beneficial conversion feature under the provisions of ASC 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options” based on the November 2010 market value of $1 per share and an exercise price of $.50 per share. In accordance with ASC470-20, an embedded conversion feature present in a convertible instrument shall be recognized separately at issuance by allocating a portion of the proceeds equal to the intrinsic value of that feature to additional paid-in capital. A discount of $972,070 was recorded at November 2010 for the Series C-1 convertible note issuances.
10.Leases
The Company’s only lease is for its office and production facility, consisting of approximately 9,957 square feet in a building located at 4251 Kellway Circle in Addison Texas. The Company is obligated to pay $6,597 per month through March 31, 2016. The Company began leasing its current facilities in April 2010 under an operating lease that extends through March 2016.
In August 2011 the Company reached an agreement with the lessor to issue Series C-3 notes as payment for the July 2011 through January 2012 rent. The Company also agreed to issue an additional $30,000 Series C-3 convertible note in exchange for the lessor’s acceptance of such agreement. This payment was amortized over the seven months of rent paid by the note, increasing rent expense by $4,300 for the three month period ended March 31, 2012 (for the January 2012 amortization).
Rent expense relating to the operating lease agreement was $17,777 and $19,791 for the three month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $57,359 and $63,673 for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

As of September 30, 2013, only one of the Company’s employees was covered by employment agreements. In general, the employment agreement contains non-compete provisions ranging from three months to one year following the term of the applicable agreement.
12.Income Taxes
The tax effects of significant items comprising the Company’s net deferred tax assets and liabilities at September 30, 2013 are as follows:
Net operating loss carryforwards | | $ | 739,557 | |
Depreciation | | | (2,375 | ) |
Amortization | | | 4,471 | |
Accrued miscellaneous | | | 50,389 | |
FMV warrants adjustment | | | 182,025 | |

Interest amortization | | | 33,178 | |
Total current deferred tax asset | | | 1,070,713 | |
Less: Valuation allowance | | | (1,070,713 | ) |
Net current deferred tax asset | | $ | - | |
The Company has net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $2,175,168 at September 30, 2013, which begin expiring in 2030. In assessing the reliability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Management has recorded a valuation allowance for all deferred tax assets at September 30, 2013.
The Company has filed its tax returns as a corporation since inception. OTLLC is a limited liability company and, as such, does not pay income taxes. Prior to the Merger, OTLLC filed separate tax returns for each subsidiary that is a limited liability company and provided the applicable investors with appropriate personally individualized documentation. All returns for OTLLC, OTD and OTLIC are current through the 2011 tax year. The partial year return for OTLLC for operations through the date of the Merger was completed on a timely basis.

At September 30, 2013, there were 4,472,274 options outstanding at an average exercise price of $0.268 per share, consisting of 4,172,274 fully vested options outstanding at an average exercise price of $0.278 per share and 300,000 unvested options outstanding with an average exercise price of $0.125 per share.
Stock Options
The Company has used the modified Black-Scholes model to estimate the fair value of employee options on the date of grant utilizing the assumptions noted below. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury bill yield curve in effect at the time of grant for the expected term of the option. The expected term of options granted represents the period of time that the options are expected to be outstanding. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatilities of selected technology stock mutual funds. The dividend yield was zero since the Company will not be paying dividends for the foreseeable future. For stock option grants in 2012, the following assumptions were used:
Range of risk-free interest rates 0.669% - 2.812%
Expected term of options in years 5.003 – 6.256
Range of expected volatility 34.70% – 38.42%

Warrants
On March 12, 2012, as discussed in Note 13 above, the Company fulfilled subscriptions for the issuance of 800,000 shares along with warrants having the right to purchase 800,000 shares of common stock at the current exercise price of $0.50 per share, expiring in 5 years from the date of issuance. In June 2012, the Company fulfilled subscriptions for the issuance of 2,200,000 shares along with warrants having the right to purchase 2,200,000 shares of common stock at the current exercise price of $0.50 per share, expiring in 5 years from the date of issuance. In September 2012, the Company fulfilled subscriptions for the issuance of 1,000,000 shares along with warrants having the right to purchase 1,000,000 shares of common stock at the current exercise price of $0.50 per share, expiring in 5 years from the date of issuance. Also in September 2012, the Company issued to a consultant warrants having the right to purchase 133,335 shares of common stock at the current exercise price of $0.50 per share, expiring in 5 years from the date of issuance. Therefore, shares that may potentially be issued upon the exercise of warrants as a result of subscriptions received by the Company and issued to consultants through September 30, 2013 are as follows:

When subscriptions are fulfilled by the Company, the warrants related to each individual subscription are dated as of the date the subscription funds were received by the Company, regardless of the date on which the obligation is ultimately fulfilled. Therefore, all warrants have a term of five years from date the subscription funds were received.

Using the Black-Scholes stock price valuation model, $561,194 of the $2,000,000 proceeds related to the fulfillment of the subscriptions during the year ended December 31, 2012, was originally attributed to the warrants to purchase 4,133,335 shares. However, in September 2012, the board of directors authorized the re-pricing of the warrants’ exercise price from the original $0.75 per share to the current $0.50 per share. This resulted in an increase of $535,367 in allocation of the proceeds to paid-in capital and a matching expense on the income statement.
The following assumptions were used for the Black-Scholes valuation of the warrants issued:
| | |
| | Assumption |
| | |
Dividend rate | | 0% |
Annualized volatility | | 39.00% |
Risk free interest rate | | 0.59%- 1.20% |
Expected life of warrants (years) | | 5.00 |
At both September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had issued warrants for 8,013,440 shares of common stock to the holders of the Notes (see note 9) and additional warrants for 107,672 shares of common stock to other individuals for a total of 8,121,112 warrants outstanding. Of the warrants outstanding, 42,672 were issued in 2009, exercisable at $0.375 per share and had a weighted average grant date fair value of $0.009. In 2010, 7,768,440 warrants were issued, exercisable at $0.3125 per share, having a weighted average grant date fair value of $0.01. The remaining 310,000 warrants were issued in 2011, also exercisable at $0.3125 per share, having a weighted average grant date fair value of $0.008. The Company uses the modified Black-Scholes model to estimate the fair value of warrants on the date of issuance. Noncash interest expense reflecting the amortization of debt discount related to the warrant issuances of $-0- and $9,599 was recorded for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
The Company has not included these common stock equivalents in earnings per share calculations as they are anti-dilutive.

15.Benefit Plans
The Company established a 401(k) Plan (the “Plan”) for eligible employees of the Company, but in December 2012, the Company announced the termination of the Plan, primarily due to the high cost relative to the inadequate employee participation. Generally, all employees of the Company who are at least twenty-one years of age and who have completed one-half year of service were eligible to participate in the Plan. The Plan was a defined contribution plan that provides that participants may make voluntary salary deferral contributions, on a pretax basis, between 1% and 15% of their compensation in the form of voluntary payroll deductions, up to a maximum amount as indexed for cost of living adjustments. The Company was permitted to make discretionary contributions but no Company contributions had been made since 2009.
16.Going Concern
The Company has accumulated losses from inception through September 30, 2013 of $11,759,151, has minimal assets, and has negative working capital. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These factors may have potential adverse effects on the Company including the ceasing of operations.
The Company is currently seeking additional capital to fund its operations through the foreseeable future. If capital raising efforts are unsuccessful, discontinuance of operations is likely. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
17.Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated subsequent events that occurred after September 30, 2013 through November 7, 2013, the date this report was available to be issued. Any material subsequent events that occurred during that time period have been properly recognized or disclosed in the Company’s financial statements.
ITEM 2.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of the results of operations of Oryon Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 and its financial condition as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes to those financial statements that are included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Our discussion includes forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those set forth under the caption “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 7, 2013. We use words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements.
Overview
Oryon Technologies, Inc. (“Oryon”, the “Registrant” or the “Company” and “we,” “us”, “our” or similar terms) was organized under the laws of the State of Nevada on August 22, 2007 to explore mineral properties.On May 4, 2012 (the “Closing Date”), Oryon closed a merger transaction (the “Merger”) with Oryon Merger Sub, LLC, a Texas limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and OryonTechnologies, LLC (“OTLLC”), a Texas limited liability company, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated March 9, 2012 (the “Merger Agreement”). As a result of the Merger, the Company ceased to explore mineral properties and became a technology company with certain valuable products and intellectual property rights related to a three-dimensional, elastomeric, membranous, flexible electroluminescent lamp. The Company’s principal executive offices are located at 4251 Kellway Circle, Addison, Texas 75001, and its phone number is (214) 267-1321.
Oryon Technologies, Inc. (“Oryon” or the “Company”) has only one direct subsidiary, OryonTechnologies, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“OTLLC”). The Company is a developer of a patented electroluminescent (“EL”) lighting technology, trademarked as Elastolite® that enables thin, flexible, crushable, water-resistant lighting systems to be incorporated into multiple applications such as safety apparel, sporting goods, consumer goods and membrane switches, among others. OTLLC is the parent of two wholly-owned companies: OryonTechnologies Licensing, LLC (“OTLIC”) and OryonTechnologiesDevelopment, LLC (“OTD”), both of which are also Texas limited liability companies.
OTLLC also previously owned OryonTechnologies International Pte. Ltd. (“OTI”), a Singapore-based corporation. Operations at OTI were suspended in May 2009 and OTI was liquidated in November 2012. The operations of OTI were not material to Oryon. OTI originally owned 51% of Oryon-Asia Pacific Safety, Limited (“OAPS”), which was formed in December 2006 as a Hong Kong limited company. During 2011, the 51% ownership was transferred to OTLLC. The other 49% of OAPS was owned by two non-affiliated individuals. Operations of OAPS were suspended in February 2011 and OAPS is in the final stage of liquidation. The operations of OAPS were not material to Oryon.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our most recent financial statements and notes appearing elsewhere in this quarterly report. In addition to the historical financial information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The Company’s actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors.
Management’s discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are only based on the current business and operations of OTLLC and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis. Key factors affecting the Company’s results of operations include revenues, cost of revenues, operating expenses and interest expense.
Operating results for the interim periods presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the entire fiscal year.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Gross profit margin | | | 16.5 | % | | | 75.0 | % | | | | | | | | |
Product sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, increased $33.1 thousand, or 245.2%, to $46.6 thousand for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 from $13.5 thousand for the quarter ended September 30, 2012. Gross profit and total revenues decreased $2.4 thousand to $7.7 thousand, or 24.0%, from $10.1 thousand in the quarter ended September 30, 2012, due to the increase in the cost of goods sold.
Cost of goods sold represented 83.5% of product sales revenues in the third quarter of 2013 as compared to 25.0% in the third quarter of 2012. Each of the Company’s sales is separately negotiated with the specific customer. The Company endeavors to obtain the highest sales price for its products that can be negotiated with the customer and does not establish sales prices based on a “cost plus” analysis. Therefore, the cost of goods sold as a percentage of product sales revenue can be expected to vary significantly from period to period depending on the specific customers’ product orders.
Operating Expenses-Overview
Total operating expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, decreased $128.5 thousand, or 29.0%, to $314.6 thousand, from $443.1 thousand in the quarter ended September 30, 2012, as shown in the table below:

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
The primary reasons for the decrease in total operating expenses are the 35.1% decrease in general and administrative expense and the 33.9% decrease in sales and marketing expense, as discussed below.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
NM = Not Meaningful | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Total applications development expense increased by $2.6 thousand or 4.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012, due to the $10.5 thousand increase in materials, equipment and services, partially offset by the $7.3 thousand decrease in wages and the related payroll taxes and benefits. Due to the low level of customer activity in the third quarter of 2012, the materials, equipment, services expenses were very low in that period. By comparison, in 2013, applications activities on behalf of prospective customers increased significantly, resulting in greater expenditures on applications development projects.
Sales and Marketing Expense

NM = Not Meaningful | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Total sales and marketing expense decreased by $15.9 thousand, or 33.9%, to $31.0 thousand in the 2013 third quarter from $46.9 thousand in the 2012 third quarter, largely due to the reduction of outside public relations services below the level incurred in during 2012.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
NM = Not Meaningful | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
General and administrative expense decreased by $114.8 thousand, or 35.1%, to $212.1 thousand from $326.9 thousand largely due to (a) the $43.0 thousand decrease in outside services expenses, as discussed below, and (b) the decrease in payroll taxes/benefits expense, which decreased $51.5 thousand to $22.0 thousand in the 2013 third quarter from $73.5 thousand in the 2012 third quarter. Most of the decrease in payroll taxes and benefits is attributable to the $48.1 thousand decrease in stock-based compensation expense that was $17.2 thousand in the three months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to $65.3 thousand in the three months ended September 30, 2012.
Outside services expenses decreased $43.0 thousand, or 28.8%, to $106.2 thousand in the quarter ended September 30, 2013 from $149.2 thousand in the quarter ended September 30, 2012, as shown in the table below.

One large component of general and administrative outside services expense is the cost of being a public company, including legal, accounting, SEC filing related costs and stock transfer agent fees. For example, the Company paid no directors’ fees prior to the Merger but initiated the incurrence of directors’ compensation in the last quarter of 2012. In consequence, general and administrative outside services expense for the third quarter of 2013 included $18.1 thousand in directors’ fees and expenses as compared to no such costs in the comparable quarter of the prior year. Since the Closing of the Merger on May 4, 2012, the legal expenses have increased over the pre-Merger period due to the regulatory filings that the Company has made in connection with its current operational and financing activities. In the third quarter of 2012, the Company incurred somewhat higher accounting costs as staff and management made the Company’s initial public company filings. The accounting and audit expenses incurred in the third quarter of 2013 are more representative of the costs related to the regular quarterly review by independent public accountants.
An additional reason for the decrease in outside services in the third quarter of 2013 as compared to the third quarter of 2012 is the $51.4 thousand decrease in consulting costs. In connection with the Closing of the Merger, the Company paid an independent financial advisor $45.1 thousand for services in the third quarter of 2012. Excluding this cost, other consulting costs of $31.8 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2012 were $6.3 thousand greater than in the comparable period in 2013. At the Closing Date, one former senior executive’s status changed from being an employee to being an independent consultant to the Company, resulting in $13.3 thousand in expense for the consulting compensation to the individual during the three months ended September 30, 2013 (the contract expired August 31, 2013, so only there were only two months of expense), whereas his consulting compensation was $22.5 thousand for the three months included in the period ended September 30, 2012.
Other Income (Expense)
Interest Expense: Interest expense decreased $58.8 thousand, or 85.6%, to $9.9 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2013, from $68.7 thousand in the three months ended September 30, 2012. The principal reason for the decrease in interest expense was the conversion of the convertible notes payable on August 31, 2012, so that in the third quarter of 2013 the Company incurred no interest expense or amortization of debt discount on the convertible notes as compared to two full months of such expenses incurred in the third quarter of 2012.

Taxes
Since the Company’s operating subsidiary, OTLLC, is a limited liability company and, as such, does not accrue or pay income taxes, the Company has not reported income taxes for periods prior to the Closing Date. For the quarter ended September 30, 2013, the Company incurred substantial losses and subsequently has no tax obligation. Although the incurred losses can be carried forward to offset future taxable income, within certain limitations, the Company cannot reliably forecast when profitable operations will occur. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded any deferred tax assets related to the losses incurred subsequent to the Merger.

Gross profit margin | | | 51.3 | % | | | 43.0 | % | | | | | | | | |
Product sales increased $53.1 thousand, or 114.1%, to $99.6 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from $46.5 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Gross profit and total revenues increased $31.1 thousand to $51.1 thousand, or 155.3%, from $20.0 thousand in the nine months ended September 30, 2012, due to both the increase in product sales and the increase in gross profit on product sales resulting from a decrease in the cost of goods sold as a percentage of product sales.
Cost of goods sold represented 48.7% of product sales revenues in the first nine months of 2013 as compared to 57.0% in the first nine months of 2012. Each of the Company’s sales is separately negotiated with the specific customer. The Company endeavors to obtain the highest sales price for its products that can be negotiated with the customer and does not establish sales prices based on a “cost plus” analysis. Therefore, the cost of goods sold as a percentage of product sales revenue can be expected to vary significantly from period to period depending on the specific customers’ product orders.
Operating Expenses-Overview
Total operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, decreased $246.8 thousand, or 18.4%, to $1,095.6 thousand, from $1,342.4 thousand in the nine months ended September 30, 2012, as shown in the table below:

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
The primary reason for the decrease in total operating expenses is the 23.4% decrease in general and administrative expense, as discussed below.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Total applications development expense increased by $26.6 thousand or 12.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012, due to (a) the $63.1 thousand increase in materials, equipment, services expenses partially offset by (b) the $30.4 thousand decrease in wages along with the related $13.7 thousand decrease in payroll taxes and benefits. Due to the low level of customer activity in the first nine months of 2012, the materials, equipment, services expenses were very low in that period. By comparison, in 2013, applications activities on behalf of prospective customers increased significantly, resulting in greater expenditures on applications development projects.

Total sales and marketing exp. | | | 86,816 | | | | 122,564 | | | | (35,748 | ) | | | -29.2 | % |
Total sales and marketing expense decreased to $86.8 thousand in the first nine months of 2013 from $122.6 thousand in the first nine months of 2012. The decrease of $35.7 thousand or 29.2% is largely due to the $25.4 thousand decrease in outside services expenses. The $6.0 increase in wages is the result of increased pay for sales personnel in the first nine months of 2013.

General and administrative expense for the first nine months of the year decreased by $228.7 thousand, or 23.4%, to $750.3 thousand from $979.0 thousand largely due to (a) the $98.9 thousand decrease in outside services expenses, as discussed below, and (b) the $89.9 decrease in wages along with the related $31.6 decrease in payroll taxes and benefits.
Outside services expenses decreased $98.9 thousand, or 23.2%, to $327.4 thousand in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from $426.2 thousand in the nine months ended September 30, 2012, as shown in the table below.

One primary component of general and administrative outside services expense is the cost of being a public company, including legal, accounting, directors’ fees, SEC filing related costs and stock transfer agent fees. For example, the Company paid no directors’ fees prior to the Merger but initiated the incurrence of directors’ compensation in the last quarter of 2012. In consequence, general and administrative outside services expense for the first nine months of 2013 included $74.2 thousand in directors’ fees and expenses as compared to no such costs in the first nine months of 2012. In the first nine months of 2012, significant legal expenses were incurred in the process of the Merger and the Closing. As a result, the legal expenses in the first nine months of 2012 were of $175.1 thousand, an amount $102.1 thousand greater than the $73.0 thousand in legal expenses incurred in the first nine months of 2013. Also, in the first nine months of 2012, the Company incurred unusually high accounting costs related to the completion of the audit of fiscal years 2010 and 2011 that was necessary to consummate the Merger. The accounting and audit expenses incurred in the first nine months of 2013 are more representative of the costs related to the regular quarterly review by independent public accountants. Stock transfer agent fees and SEC regulatory filing costs were $46.5 thousand in 2013 as compared to $16.2 thousand incurred in 2012. In 2013 the Company incurred the cost preparing and filing both a Form 10-K (for the year ended 2012) and a Form 10-Q (for the quarter ended March 31, 2013), but incurred no comparable costs in 2012 because in 2012 those costs were incurred prior to the Merger and therefore not reportable by the Company.
An additional reason for the decrease in outside services in the first nine months of 2013 as compared to the first nine months of 2012 is the $66.8 thousand decrease in consulting costs. In connection with the Closing of the Merger, the Company paid an independent financial advisor $82.6 thousand for services during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Excluding this cost, the other consulting costs of $67.0 thousand incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 were relatively unchanged at $69.4 thousand for the comparable period in 2013. At the Closing Date, one former senior executive’s status changed from being an employee to being an independent consultant to the Company, resulting in $53.3 thousand in expense (consisting of both paid and accrued amounts) for the consulting compensation to the individual during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 (the contract expired August 31, 2013), whereas his consulting compensation was $37.5 thousand for the five months in the period between the Closing and September 30, 2012. Prior to the Closing, his compensation was reported as general and administrative wages expense.
Other Income (Expense)
Interest Expense: Interest expense decreased $228.6 thousand, or 88.9%, to $28.5 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, from $257.1 thousand in the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The principal reason for the decrease in interest expense was the conversion of the convertible notes payable on August 31, 2012, so that in the first nine months of 2013 the Company incurred no interest expense or amortization of debt discount on the convertible notes as compared to eight full months of such expenses incurred in the first nine months of 2012 (through August 31, 2012).

Taxes
Since the Company’s operating subsidiary, OTLLC, is a limited liability company and, as such, does not accrue or pay income taxes, the Company has not reported income taxes for periods prior to the Closing Date. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company incurred substantial losses and subsequently has no tax obligation. Although the incurred losses can be carried forward to offset future taxable income, within certain limitations, the Company cannot reliably forecast when profitable operations will occur. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded any deferred tax assets related to the losses incurred subsequent to the Merger.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company does not have sufficient cash on hand to meet its current obligations and anticipated cash requirements. See Notes 13, 16 and 17 to Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Not including capital expenditures and costs directly related to revenue generating projects, operating expenditures are expected to range between $125,000.00 and $150,000.00 per month. Management anticipates that an additional $1,500,000 to $4,000,000 will be necessary to fund operations and provide adequate working capital for the next twelve to twenty-four month period subsequent to the date of this report.The Company does not currently have any material commitments for capital expenditures as of the end of the current period.
To meet management’s future objectives, the Company will need to sell additional equity and/or debt securities, which could result in dilution to current shareholders, or seek additional loans. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could require the Company to agree to operating and financial covenants that would restrict its operations. The Company does not have any lending arrangements in place with banking or financial institutions and management does not anticipate that it will be able to secure these funding arrangements in the near future.Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. Any failure by the Company to raise additional funds on terms acceptable to it, or at all, could limit its ability to continue operations and terminate its overall business prospects.
Our current cash requirements are significant due to planned applications development and marketing of our current technology, and we anticipate generating additional operating monthly losses at least through the end of 2013. In order to execute on our business strategy, we will require additional working capital, commensurate with the operational needs of our planned marketing, development and production efforts. Our management cannot guarantee that we will be able to raise sufficient amounts of working capital through debt or equity offerings, as may be required to meet our short-term obligations. Moreover, changes in our operating plans, increased expenses, acquisitions, or other events, may cause us to seek additional equity or debt financing in the future. We anticipate continued and additional marketing, development and production expenses. Accordingly, we expect to continue to use debt and equity financing to fund operations for the next twelve to twenty-four months, as we look to expand our asset base and fund marketing, development and production of our technology.
There are no assurances that we will be able to raise the required working capital on terms favorable to us, or that such working capital will be available on any terms when needed. Any failure to secure additional financing would limit our ability to continue as a going concern and force us to modify our business strategy. In addition, we cannot be assured of profitability in the future.
We are not aware of any unusual or infrequent events or transactions or any significant economic changes that materially affected or could materially affect the amount of our reported income from operations.
Sources and uses of funds
As of September 30, 2013, Oryon had cash and equivalents on hand of $9.4 thousand, and negative working capital of $1,464.3 thousand. Management of the Company recognizes that its cash on hand and working capital will not be sufficient to meet its anticipated cash requirements in the near term and is actively seeking additional capital funding. Any failure to secure additional financing would limit the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and force management to modify the business strategy.
Oryon’s sales cycle timing varies depending on the type of customer being served. It can range from three months for certain specialty promotions to 12-18 months for certain branded products from first contact with a prospective customer until product sales revenues can be reported. During that period, Oryon works with the customer’s designers to cooperatively engineer an application of its patented technology into the customer’s final product. This requires substantial co-development with the customer’s personnel to meet the needs of the customer. Accordingly, Oryon must have sufficient capital to fund administrative overhead, sales and marketing efforts and staffing expenses for an extended period of time before cash is received from customers.
In 2010, OTLLC completed an exchange of the then existing Series A and Series B convertible notes payable for the newly issued Series C-1 and Series C-2 convertible notes payable, respectively. Each holder of a Series A or Series B note also received detachable warrants in connection with the exchange. This exchange was necessary to obtain a modification of the terms of the notes payable to enable OTLLC to secure additional funding. In 2010, after the completion of the exchange, OTLLC began issuing Series C-3 convertible notes payable, with detachable warrants, obtaining additional funding of $418.0 thousand in 2010 and $75.0 thousand in 2011. In addition, during the second half of 2011, OTLLC issued $69.6 thousand in Series C-3 convertible notes payable, but without attached warrants, to the lessor of OTLLC’s office space in lieu of cash rent payments for the period of July 1 through December 31. In January 2012, OTLLC issued an additional $6.6 thousand in Series C-3 convertible notes payable, without attached warrants, to the same lessor in lieu of cash rent for the month of January 2012.
In early 2010, OTLLC began negotiations with a private equity firm regarding an investment of $4.5 million into OTLLC. In late summer 2010, OTLLC and the private equity firm executed a term sheet. In November 2010, OTLLC and the private equity firm executed an agreement titled “Draft Securities Purchase Agreement” based on the transaction proposed in the term sheet that would have provided OTLLC with sufficient capital to fund its business plan for the foreseeable future. The letter of intent and the “Draft Securities Purchase Agreement” included a “no-shop” clause that effectively prevented OTLLC from negotiating with any other potential source of funding until negotiations were terminated with the private equity firm. However, the private equity firm did not act in good faith, in management’s opinion, changing certain terms of the proposed transaction, failing to respond to OTLLC’s communications and ultimately terminating the transaction without finalizing the contemplated “Series A Convertible Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement”. In attempting to complete the financing, OTLLC incurred substantial legal expenses and accounting costs to meet the requirements of the private equity firm and to document the proposed transaction. By September 2011, it was evident that OTLLC would not be able to obtain funding from the private equity firm and management took further steps to conserve cash and reduce overhead. In July 2011, OTLLC terminated the services of all but two employees, cancelled consulting agreements and began contacting interested parties concerning short-term loans to continue funding a reduced level of operations. Several existing investors provided a total of $114.0 thousand in exchange for unsecured promissory notes. In addition, OTLLC’s then chief executive officer provided additional financing of approximately $90.0 thousand by personally paying certain OTLLC expenses and filing an expense reimbursement request that was recorded as an accounts payable obligation.
In October 2011, OTLLC began discussions with another investment firm concerning a merger with a publicly-traded company and a financing plan that would raise $2 million in new equity capital for OTLLC. A letter of intent was signed that same month and OTLLC began working on a definitive merger agreement and on meeting the related requirements, including the completion of audited financial statements. The investment firm arranged for the Company to advance $725.0 thousand (prior to the Closing Date) to OTLLC in exchange for promissory notes. The funding for the advances to OTLLC was generated by the equity financing. Without this advance, OTLLC would not have been able to complete the Merger. Between the Closing Date and August 31, 2012, the Company received an additional $1,275.0 thousand in exchange for the issuance of equity (consisting of 2,550,000 shares of common stock along with warrants having the right to purchase an additional 2,550,000 shares at the current exercise price of $0.50 per share and a term of five years). In total, the Company received $2.0 million in subscriptions in connection with the Merger
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities
Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 decreased by $614.7 thousand to a use of $556.2 thousand, as compared to a use of $1,170.9 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The primary reason for the reduced cost was the improvement in operating results with a net loss of $1,073.0 thousand in the first nine months of 2013 as compared to a net loss of $2,123.3 thousand in the first nine months of 2012, an improvement of $1,050.3 thousand. The conversion of the Series C Notes in August 2012 eliminated noncash interest expense subsequent to that date, so the noncash interest expense in the first nine months of 2012 was $234.6 thousand higher than the $21.5 thousand noncash interest expense in the first nine months of 2013. In addition, the combined net change in operating assets and liabilities provided cash of $341.3 thousand in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to using cash of $39.3 thousand in the nine months ended September 30, 2012, an increase in operational cash provided of $380.6 thousand. This increase is primarily due to (a) the comparative net increase of $127.4 thousand in deferred compensation, including directors’ fees, and (b) the comparative net increase of $247.5 thousand in accounts payable. In the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the accounts payable increased by $220.1 thousand as compared to a reduction of $27.4 thousand during the comparable period in 2012, a comparative net change of $247.5 thousand in cash provided. The increase in accounts payable in the first nine months of 2013 was largely due to legal and accounting costs related to meeting the year-end regulatory requirements and to an increase in inventory related to customer projects in progress.
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities
There was no net cash provided by (used in) investing activities in the first nine months of 2013 and only $6.8 thousand used in the first nine months of 2012 for the purchase of equipment.
Net cash provided by financing activities
Net cash provided by financing activities in the first nine months of 2013 was $396.0 thousand as compared to $1,664.0 thousand in the first nine months of 2012.In connection with the Merger in 2012, the Company received $2.0 million in proceeds from the private equity offering, issuing 4.0 million shares of common stock, par value $0.001 (along with warrants for the purchase an additional 4.0 million shares of common stock at the current exercise price of $0.50 per share and having a term of five (5) years). A total of $2,000.0 thousand was received in the first nine months of 2012. In the first nine months of 2013, investors holding certain of the warrants provided the Company with short-term advances of $390.0 thousand in financial support against the exercise of their warrants at a future time of the investors’ choice. Such investors have not determined the timing for the exercise of the warrants.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has not entered into any other financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties. We have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our shares and classified as shareholder’s equity or that are not reflected in our consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity. We do not have any variable interest in any unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to it or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with it.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Accounting estimates and assumptions are those that management considers to be the most critical to an understanding of the consolidated financial statements because they inherently involve significant judgments and uncertainties. All of these estimates reflect management’s judgment about current economic and market conditions and their effects based on information available as of the date of these consolidated financial statements. If such conditions persist longer or deteriorate further than expected, it is reasonably possible that the judgments and estimates could change, which may result in future impairments of assets, among other effects.
Significant estimates for Oryon include the carrying value of intangible assets and the value of equity instruments, including convertible notes, stock options, warrants, and shares of equity issued in lieu of cash.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
There have been no new accounting rules or pronouncements introduced in 2013 or 2012 that have had an effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE OF MARKET RISK
The Company does not have any market risk sensitive instruments.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our CEO and CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under the Exchange Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“SOX”) Section 404(a). Based on this evaluation, we concluded that, as of September 30, 2013, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. This conclusion was based on the existence of material weakness as discussed below. Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate due to change in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
As of December 31, 2012, the Company’s management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments and concluded in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 that there is a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. Management determined that there are deficiencies in the design or operation of the Company’s internal control that adversely affected the Company’s internal controls that management considers being material weaknesses.
In the light of management’s review of internal control procedures as they relate to COSO and the SEC the following were identified:
| ● | The Company has limited segregation of duties, which is not consistent with good internal control procedures. |
| ● | The Company does not have a written internal control procedures manual that outlines the duties and reporting requirements of the Directors and any staff to be hired in the future. This lack of a written internal control procedures manual does not meet the requirements of the SEC or for good internal control. |
| ● | There are no effective controls instituted over financial disclosure and the reporting processes. |
Management determined that the weaknesses identified above have not affected the financial results of the Company due to management’s additional review and analysis.
The Company will endeavor to correct the above noted weaknesses in internal control once it has adequate funds to do so. With the planned increase in administrative staff, the segregation of duties issue will be addressed in part and internal control will be significantly improved. The Audit Committee appointed subsequent to the Closing of the Merger has directed management to develop a written policy manual outlining the duties of each of the officers and staff of the Company to facilitate better internal control procedures.
Management will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls and procedures and its internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and is committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
No changes occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2013 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1A RISK FACTORS
As a result of the Merger, on May 4, 2012, the (“Closing Date”), the Registrant ceased to be in the business of acquiring and developing mineral properties, as it had been since inception. Although a mineral claim, with unknown reserves was acquired in August 2007, it was determined to be impaired in January 2008 and written off, and the Registrant had limited operations subsequently. Effective on the Closing Date, the Registrant acquired the business and operations of OTLLC, a technology company with certain valuable products and intellectual property rights related to a three-dimensional, elastomeric, membranous, flexible electroluminescent lamp. Accordingly, the risk factors are related to the operations of the Registrant as it is presently constituted, subsequent to May 4, 2012.
An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. In evaluating our business and its future expectations, one should consider carefully the risk factors includedthe Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 7, 2013. Any of such risk factors, if they occur, could seriously harm our business and our operations. There may be risk factors we do not know exist, or that we have deemed to be immaterial, at this time. Even if they are deemed immaterial at this time, they could develop whereby they could adversely affect our business. Our shares are speculative by nature and therefore the risk of purchasing or holding our shares is high. Investors should consider whether they can assume a loss of their entire investment.
