OVERVIEW

Uni-Pixel, Inc. is a development stage company that has patented a next generation color display technology it calls Time Multiplexed Optical Shutter (“TMOS”). The Company believes it is the leader in the research, development and future commercialization of new flat panel displays using TMOS architecture and techniques as the means to improve the performance and reduce the bill of materials costs realized in the production of flat panel display systems.  It is envisioned that TMOS displays will be designed to be consistent in form and fit with current Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) technology in order to allow TMOS based display panels to be used in the same display applications that currently use LCD display panels.

TMOS is a display system that uses Field Sequential Color (FSC) as the means to generate images and the full color spectrum.   UniPixel’s research into TMOS has generated a wealth of knowledge in systems and technology that leverage this unique approach.  This has yielded Intellectual Property and know-how that are both directly applicable to other systems including LCD display panels that similarly use FSC.  In the past, LCD systems have faced limitations that prevented effective implementation of FSC.  UniPixel believes that its advances and technology can overcome these hurdles and allow LCD to leverage FSC and TMOS sub-system developments as an interim step to the introduction of TMOS in the future.

TMOS is also a polymer thin film based Micro-Electronic Mechanical System (MEMS) display architecture. UniPixel’s research into TMOS has further generated a wealth of knowledge in thin films and the creation of precision geometric micro-structures on the surface of these films.  The unique developments in MEMS and the mastering of supporting micro-structural technology that leverage the unique structures and their production has also yielded Intellectual Property and know-how that is broadly applicable to other applications including a number of applications for LCD display based devices.

We expect the advantages in reduced manufacturing costs, enhanced viewing quality, unique design attributes, and improved performance of the TMOS display architecture and TMOS derived FSC sub-systems over current non-FSC Flat Panel Display alternatives to motivate partners to engage us in development, commercialization, or incorporation of FSC-LCD and TMOS sub-components and displays in their products.  These partners should collectively serve to create supply and to drive demand for FSC-LCD and TMOS-based products based on licensable Intellectual Property from UniPixel.

Uni-Pixel’s technology leadership and intellectual property position is expected to enable it to generate revenues from its various technologies in two phases.  For technologies that are licensed, the initial phase is expected to generate revenue from partners through funded development efforts, and/or up-front licensing fees. The second phase is expected to include royalties from licensees that produce FSC-LCD or TMOS panels or incorporate them into applications for automotive, active signage, and medical and consumer electronics (i.e., TVs, monitors, personal computers, cameras, games, etc.).  For technologies that will be produced and supplied, specifically the Company’s Opcuity Performance Engineered films, the Company expects to generate revenues initially from joint development activities with contracted partners.  The second phase is expected to generate sales revenues from customer orders for manufactured film products.  In the case of TMOS targeted film, the Company will supply a key material component, its Opcuity™ Active Layer film, to its TMOS panel manufacturing partners that will be a revenue source.

Through its research and development efforts, the Company has established a portfolio of TMOS, FSC-LCD and Opcuity film related know-how, patents, patent applications and other intellectual property rights. Uni-Pixel currently has 38 issued, 1 allowed and 44 pending patent applications worldwide providing a strong foundation that will support:

·                  Further developing proprietary FSC-LCD and TMOS technology;

·                  Entering into joint development efforts  in specific vertical market or production arrangements to exploit existing manufacturing and distribution channels of its targeted partners;

·                  Actively licensing technology to display manufacturers, supply chain participants, and device providers for use in applications such as mobile phones, digital cameras, laptop computers, and other consumer electronic devices; and

·                  Actively licensing film designs and production processes to manufacturing partners, or establishing film production capabilities to meet customer demand for finished film products.

Uni-Pixel’s work developing its TMOS display technology has created a core competency in the development and production of performance engineered thin films. The first of these films developed specifically for TMOS is the Opcuity Active Layer film.  The capabilities developed by Uni-Pixel to create the Opcuity Active Layer film have opened opportunities to broader applications and markets for film products other than just TMOS.  This has allowed Uni-Pixel to expand its pursuit of performance engineered film products.

Beyond TMOS, Uni-Pixel’s performance engineered film designs include finger print resistant protective film covers for touch screen display devices and other performance enhancement films.  Uni-Pixel expects that its finger print resistant (FPR) film, “Opcuity FPR”, will be its first product to enter the market.  The basis for the unique aspects of the FPR product is the use of precision geometric micro-structures to make the film functional.  UniPixel has developed the capability to create structures in sizes between two and ten microns with precision edges and surfaces that have not been accomplished in the industry previously.  This unique capability became the basis for the FPR discovery and recognition of several other functional uses of a micro-structured surface on a thin film.

Uni-Pixel will continue to pursue development of its other performance engineered film designs to follow that can leverage the micro-structuring capability and surface energy modification techniques.  In pursuing these film designs, each advancing version employs common elements and builds in further unique capabilities that Uni-Pixel engineers into the film.  Ultimately these capabilities will culminate in the Opcuity Active Layer Film for TMOS.    In this way, it is an objective of the Company to augment its TMOS specific efforts with a resulting family of Opcuity performance engineered films that leverage common production processes and techniques initially developed for TMOS.

Through December 31, 2009 we have been primarily engaged in research and development efforts that have expanded our portfolio of intellectual property, building prototype devices that demonstrate our technologies, recruiting key personnel, engaging various strategic partners, and raising capital consistent with our strategy.  As of December 31, 2009 we had accumulated a total deficit of $49.9 million and expect similar losses to continue through at least 2010. We will finance our continuing efforts and operations primarily through our existing cash, licensing fees being pursued from strategic partners and additional fundraising activities.

During 2009, Uni-Pixel accomplished a number of milestones in both its technical and business advancement.  This included the completion of agreements for TMOS development, the completion of development agreements for unique versions of our finger print resistant films, the successful development of conductor patterning processes that have been recognized as leading edge by the industry, completing a supply agreement with our first distribution partner, advancing subsystem designs for testing within prototype devices, completion of MOU’s and production agreements with manufacturing partners, and demonstration of prototype systems and films.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

The Flat Panel Display Market

History

The commercialization of the liquid crystal display (LCD) began in 1973, with the launch of the world’s first electronic calculator, incorporating a segmented, black-and-white (monochrome) display.  The technology was quickly adopted in applications such as watches, and evolved into more complex dot matrix displays using passive addressing — or passive matrix (PM) — systems.  In time, the emergence of passive Super Twisted Nematic (STN) PM-LCDs and the development of color STN (CSTN) PM-LCDs, facilitated new applications such as notebook PCs.  Eventually, the demand for higher resolution, full-color video images and faster refresh rates, saw the commercialization of active matrix (AM) amorphous, (a-Si) Thin-Film-Transistor (TFT) LCDs.  This technology quickly gained acceptance in the notebook PC market, where it completely replaced the incumbent CSTN technology.  Similarly, there has been rapid, supply driven penetration of TFT-LCDs in all forms of display applications specifically as demonstrated in desktop monitors and large flat panel TVs as a substitute for the traditional cathode ray tube (CRT) screen.

Replacement of Older CRT Technology by FPDs

Although flat panel displays (FPDs) were initially adopted in the mobile consumer electronics market and in notebook computers, they have increasingly displaced cathode ray tube (CRT) displays in larger product applications such as desktop computer monitors and televisions. FPD’s unique form factor and digital interface is enabling the delivery and accurate display of video, telecommunications, information, data, analysis and instructions in both mobile and fixed environments previously unsuitable to CRTs.  In today’s market, the CRT is no longer a viable technology for any consumer based application and has all but disappeared from the market.

Proliferation of Mobile Consumer Electronics Devices

Consumers throughout the world are rapidly adopting mobile consumer electronics devices such as mobile phones, personal digital assistants, or PDAs, MP3 players, portable DVD players, mobile gaming devices and digital cameras and camcorders. Advances in component technology are driving down the cost of these products and expanding their functionality. Early mobile devices were equipped with simple, small monochrome displays with limited functionality. As the cost of color displays decreased and quality improved, consumers began rapidly adopting mobile devices with color displays.

This trend towards greater display functionality in mobile devices continues with the introduction of new phones with dual displays, embedded cameras and television tuner video functionality.

The overall FPD industry is continuing to experience significant growth.  In addition to the rapid replacement of CRT applications such as monitors and TVs, the FPD industry growth is being driven by a number of other market forces including:

·                  Increased demand for large format high resolution TV’s and computer monitors;

·                  Steady growth in usage of notebook and newer “netbook” computers;

·                  A migration to color screens for mobile phones and other handheld devices; and

·                  Decreasing costs economics, increasing throughput and improving efficiency of FPD production as newer generation LCD fabrication plants are increasing production.

These factors in combination with additional market forces are driving overall growth and shifting the mix of product applications within the FPD industry.

Applications

With the proliferation of the Internet, there has not only been an explosion in the amount of available content, but a rapid evolution of the form in which it appears.  No longer is information a two-dimensional, text-only experience; online content is now being delivered in graphic rich, animated and video formats.  As the sophistication of the user base continues to heighten and bandwidth continues to increase, there will be a demand for a superior, high resolution visual experiences that only FPDs will be able to deliver — particularly in mobile wireless devices.  Flowing from this, new types of applications and functionality will evolve that, in turn, will enhance existing markets and create new ones.

Industry drivers such as new content explosion, high resolution capability, increased bandwidth and improved manufacturing efficiencies are driving new functionality in existing applications, as well as enabling the creation of new application markets that will drive the FPD industry through high volumes.

With the emergence of new technologies such as MP3 Players, TV Tuners and Bluetooth, new functionality in existing applications will should fuel demand growth in what have become relatively mature markets.  For instance, while the mobile phone market has seen relatively slow growth rates, a large pool of sophisticated users now exists who are providing the demand for new technologies such as Phone Cameras and Phone TVs.  These enhanced devices will incorporate high performance, next generation displays that will see a move away from Passive Matrix-LCDs towards Active Matrix-LCDs, as well as other emerging display types such as organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). Additionally, FPD technology is increasingly taking forms beyond consumer electronic devices.  FPDs are increasingly used in emerging applications including retail signage, car navigation systems, instrumentation, and household appliances.

The FPD market is currently dominated by LCDs, which accounted for well over 90% of total FPD sales in 2008, and demand is increasing across multiple applications with FPD formats generating industry-wide momentum.

Films in Displays

Glass and plastics are the principal materials being used as first surfaces for display systems.  As displays are incorporated into devices that are used extensively and transportably on daily basis, the displays are subject to damage and the effects of use.  A large and growing business has developed in films that are designed to provide protection and other functional uses on top of the display surface.  UniPixel has found that the technologies that it has developed can be applied to a variety of functional uses in films for display products.  Its Opcuity FPR product can protect a touch screen device from damage while also preventing fingerprints and smudges from obscuring the viewing experience.  Incorporating patterned conductors into the film also offers unique functional uses to the film as material for touch screen control.  Engineering the structures to specific patterns and distributions can control light output and reflectance.  UniPixel’s Opcuity performance engineered films have demonstrated that they can be applied to solutions for all of these aspects.

TECHNOLOGY

Overview: Uni-Pixel has developed a new color display technology it calls Time Multiplexed Optical Shutter (“TMOS”). A TMOS display is constructed by the addition of a single thin film layer positioned above the planar surface of a light guide constructed of glass or a polycarbonate substrate.  This positioning and bonding of the thin film forms a drum type

Table of Contents

of structure at each individual pixel.  The drum structure places two conductors parallel to each other with a dielectric air gap separation.  The light guide’s conductor at each pixel is either driven by local transistors (in the form of Thin Film Transistors, TFTs) or through connection to transistors that are off the light guide. The thin film layer comprising the drum head is targeted to be composed of a base substrate layer of polyester film, or PET film, the addition of surface micro-optic features, and a conductor.

The implementation of the thin film layer of material creates a matrix of optical shutters on the surface that are opened or closed as controlled by the TFTs.  This opening and closing process is the oscillation of the thin film in and out of contact with the light guide allowing the frustration of totally internally reflected (TIR) light.  Once the TIR light is frustrated, the micro-optic structures couple and direct the light to the viewer.  The panel unit should be simpler to manufacture than Plasma or Liquid Crystal Displays (“LCD”) as the single PET film included in the system replaces several other materials and steps required for the production of Plasma or LCD.

Reduced Complexity: In contrast to standard LCD, an FSC-LCD or TMOS single pixel shutter emits the three primary colors (red, green, and blue) without the use of three separate sub-pixels. This color generation technique is called Field Sequential Color.  Because FSC-LCD and TMOS displays have one-third the number of features for the same number of pixels, they benefit from reduced manufacturing complexity.

LCD complexity is largely driven through its use of TFTs. Currently LCD displays require each individual sub-pixel to be driven by a single TFT, (three TFTs per each pixel) which increases the necessity of additional electrical traces from the control mechanism.  Therefore a reduction in the number of features by elimination of sub-pixels reduces complexity.  This is also the case when Field Sequential Color is leveraged in an LCD system.

Additionally, a TMOS panel features a single TFT per pixel which will control the voltage differential between the parallel conductive planes created by the capacitor structure/optical shutter (also known as the pixel). This architecture advancement radically improves manufacturing tolerances and reduces the numbers of steps in the manufacturing process.

Uni-Pixel’s FSC-LCD and TMOS technology both offer significant advantages over existing standard LCD flat panel display technologies including:

·                  Proprietary technologies and know-how protected by Uni-Pixel’s patent portfolio;

·                  Significantly lower manufacturing costs when compared to standard LCD technologies;

·                  Significantly better power efficiency over existing technologies (i.e., resulting in longer battery life);

·                  Picture quality that is daylight readable in portable devices (i.e., cell phones, PDAs, and notebook computers);

·                  Increased durability and reliability; and

·                  Ability to be manufactured in a wide range of sizes spanning from cell phone screens to television displays.

Uni-Pixel’s advantages in its FSC LCD and TMOS technology over standard LCD are derived from the relative reduction of the complexity of the architecture and material make up. This advantage will translate into a more economical manufacturing process requiring lower costs for production and lower costs for raw materials.

Currently, standard LCD panel displays can take over 100 individual steps in the manufacturing process. This process is necessary to yield intricately developed, small and tightly packed features. However, these manufacturing processes are difficult to manage and are prone to defects.  A reduction in feature density and removal of the color filter process can significantly impact these areas.

Uni-Pixel anticipates that the FSC-LCD and TMOS manufacturing processes will have fewer steps.  Benefiting from larger features and less tightly packed construction, the manufacturing process will have significantly fewer yield detractors or failure elements, and an enhanced potential for longer life and resilience over standard LCD panels.

Light Efficiency: LCD display technologies function by emitting light from a back plane (a back light) and then screening, masking, polarizing, and filtering the light until it is emitted from the front of the panel in the appropriate color intensity. This method yields a maximum efficiency of light transmission of around 5%. This means that if 1000 nits (a measure of brightness) are created by the backlight, approximately 50 nits are displayed out the front of the display.

An FSC-LCD panel removes the color filter from the material stack of a standard LCD panel and opens the individual pixel aperture significantly.  One FSC-LCD pixel is the equivalent area of all three sub-pixels in a standard LCD pixel.  By removing the color filter and leveraging greater aperture, up to 20% of the light can be transmitted from the

backlight doubling the efficiency of transmission.  This approach thus yields up to four times the transmission or 200 nits of 1000 created by the backlight.

A TMOS panel uses light injected into the edge of the glass panel much the same way a fiber optic cable works. Light is injected into one edge of the TMOS panel, with mirrors on the other three opposing sides/edges. Light goes into the guide and travels uninhibited bouncing throughout the plane creating a “photon cloud”. TMOS optical shutters then open and close on the surface of the panel to let the light escape. The ratio of light injected into the panel to light released from the surface is tunable. Uni-Pixel’s modeling and experimentation has shown that a panel tuned to 61% efficiency provides the most uniform release of light across the entire display surface. Therefore if one were to inject 1000 nits of light into a TMOS display panel, at a tuned 61% efficiency, 610 nits will be displayed out of the front of the display panel.

Power Efficiency: Plasma display technology functions by using high voltage electricity to excite encapsulated gases that emit electrons. These electrons excite phosphors that emit photons, which are the light elements that are seen by the viewer. This process of continued materials excitement requires significant amounts of energy that is converted to photonic light.

LCD technology uses a high power backlight system to create a flat uniform backplane of light that transmits through the LCD panel.  Therefore LCD power efficiency is directly tied to the amount of light that can transmit through the panel itself to the viewer.  Since the backlight is always on during use, an LCD’s power use is relatively stable and its efficiency is tied to the transmissivity of the panel.  This is why an FSC-LCD system is so much more power efficient than standard LCD as it increases panel transmission of light through by up to four times.

TMOS technology uses a series of industry standard light emitting diodes, or LEDs, attached to one edge of the panel to inject light into the system. LEDs require very little power to create light and have a very high efficiency in converting power to light. Therefore, very little power translates into a very high light output for Uni-Pixel’s TMOS displays.

Successful Prototypes: Uni-Pixel has built prototypes that have demonstrated proof of concept, technical viability, and the operation of the sub-systems within its TMOS technology. During 2008, the Company debuted fully functional TMOS display prototypes at the Society for Informational Display (SID) conference in Los Angeles.  The Company’s current prototyping efforts have been focused on the process of optimizing the materials and assembly of the display to advance to manufacturability and then on to commercialization. In February of 2009, UniPixel and Samsung entered into a joint development agreement to advance TMOS technology and prototypes.

Technology Progress: In early 2004, Uni-Pixel delivered its first proof of concept prototype device under a development contract.  In mid 2004, Uni-Pixel was awarded a Phase II SBIR contract by the US Air force to advance its designs as modeled during its Phase I contract in an effort to solve image break-up issues traditionally encountered in Field Sequential Color display systems.  In December 2004, Uni-Pixel closed its first significant funding round and began work on opening its own development laboratories including metrology capabilities.  These efforts continued into 2005 and resulted in the first recognition of the viability of our TMOS invention by external partners and the first opportunity for Uni-Pixel to materially implement its display architecture design.

In 2005, Uni-Pixel built its development platform capability, advanced its display prototypes, and signed its first development partner and commercialization agreements.  During early 2005, Uni-Pixel advanced its development efforts through its small advanced materials laboratory in Albuquerque, New Mexico, which was adjacent to Sandia National Laboratory.  In July of 2005, Uni-Pixel moved into new facilities including electronics labs, clean room space, and machining systems in The Woodlands, Texas.  During the course of this time, the initial 8x8 pixel prototypes were significantly improved and advanced in their operation, optical system models were built, electronic control designs completed and implemented, and the prototypes were scaled up to a fully operational, full color, 32x32 pixel device.  Uni-Pixel has successfully constructed and tested the sub-systems in the display architecture and is in position to advance the display materials and the assembly techniques.

Through 2006, Uni-Pixel continued its research and development efforts within varying display prototypes that expanded both the size of the panels and the pixel counts, demonstrated multiple pixel pitches in prototypes, and completed the design and implementation of the micro-optics that will optimize the optical performance of the TMOS pixels.  These efforts resulted in designs for the final materials implementation of the architecture that will advance display performance and manufacturability.  During 2006, Uni-Pixel engaged the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) division of Xerox Corporation to provide suitable electronic backplanes for TMOS prototypes to prove the ability to drive a TMOS system with a TFT implementation.

In 2007, Uni-Pixel completed two rounds of funding which provided additional funds to advance the development of TMOS.  In April of 2007, Uni-Pixel ended its work with PARC and contracted with Philips Research Labs MiPlaza Open Innovation Center in Eindhoven, Netherlands to provide electronic backplane development.  Sub-system advances were made in all areas including the light injection system design, Opcuity™ Active Layer materials and implementation requirements, and drive control algorithms and electronics.  In November of 2007, Uni-Pixel expanded its relationship with Philips by entering into a know-how licensing arrangement specific to the assembly of display systems.  In December of 2007, Uni-Pixel completed the successful assembly of prototype devices leveraging the collaborative work conducted in the Eindhoven center.

In May of 2008, Uni-Pixel demonstrated its first 128x160 prototype devices at the Society for Informational Display (SID) Industry conference in Los Angeles, CA.  Uni-Pixel progressed through the remainder of the year improving the performance characteristics of each new prototype system built.  Uni-Pixel further investigated various factors effecting performance that have been demonstrated in its prototypes and engaged efforts and partners in addressing and improving on these factors.  In early 2008, an unexpected by-product of Uni-Pixel’s TMOS development efforts yielded a discovery specific to Uni-Pixel’s thin film capabilities.  The development led to Uni-Pixel’s Finger Print Resistant (FPR) film technology and further to the Opcuity FPR film product for touch screen displays.  By year end, the Company had developed a number of film designs based on its common set of core thin film competencies in optics, mastering and micro-replication.  These capabilities developed for creating precision surface modifications have been successfully combined with techniques to pattern conductors using industry standard ink-jetting techniques.  The resulting micro-optic film designs leveraging precision patterned conductors capable of being produced in roll to roll systems have become the basis of the Company’s enhanced business development efforts around performance engineered optical thin films.  By the end of December 2008, the Company had executed two Memorandums of Understanding with partnering firms to produce Opcuity films in high volume.

In February of 2009, Uni-Pixel aligned itself with several development and production partners that have assisted in the application of TMOS developed technology to FSC-LCD implementations and thus advancing TMOS towards commercialization.  The Company reached an initial agreement with Samsung and believes that it will reach further agreements that will generate its first meaningful revenues which will help to augment the development work investments it has made and will make and move the Company forward in its commercialization strategy for FSC-LCD systems and TMOS based technologies.  Additionally, the Company entered an agreement with Targus, Inc. to market its first film product, Opcuity FPR.

STRATEGY

Uni-Pixel’s business strategy is to penetrate existing display applications with its TMOS developed technologies including FSC-LCD systems and thin film products and supporting technology for widespread use in all varieties of color displays and other related display applications. This has been demonstrated by our progress in penetrating direct film product markets leveraging the capabilities and competencies achieved in the development of its Opcuity family of performance engineered films as functional application specific films. The Company is presently focused on the following steps to implement its business strategy:

·                  Develop Strategic Relationships.  Uni-Pixel plans to target strategic partners to further the Company’s efforts in the development and commercialization of FSC-LCD and TMOS displays and Opcuity films. Uni-Pixel believes that if these efforts are successful, they could result in FSC-LCD flat panel displays reaching commercial markets in products within two years.  Uni-Pixel’s display solutions leverage the application of existing materials and optical technologies in new ways that have previously been mastered by other companies in other applications.  Uni-Pixel’s management understands that gaining the assistance of some of these various technology leaders in the deployment of FSC-LCD and TMOS is required to support the commercialization effort.  As a result, Uni-Pixel will seek to build relationships that will allow it to leverage existing knowledge, scale, infrastructure, manufacturing and expertise in thin films, optics, control circuitry, assembly, and logistics.

·                  Enhance the Company’s Existing TMOS and Opcuity film Technology.  Uni-Pixel believes that continuing development and enhancement of its TMOS technology is critical to the Company’s success in the display industry. Consequently, Uni-Pixel will continually seek to enhance its competitive technology position through internal development efforts that expand our intellectual property portfolio, collaborative relationships, and other strategic opportunities. Uni-Pixel’s primary focus is to expand our intellectual property through development of additional prototypes and materials that enhance and extend the Company’s product capabilities or the processes by which the systems are produced, thereby allowing them to be used in a broader array of display applications and to maintain performance and market leadership over time.

·                  Develop Prototypes Suitable for Industry Demonstration.  Uni-Pixel plans to produce prototypes that will demonstrate the Company’s ability to meet the most demanding military requirements with a superior performing display system and superior performing film products.  Uni-Pixel has developed partners that provide a small volume pilot production line that provides limited quantities of films to meet demonstrate our production solutions for all applications.

·                  Finalize a Transferable, Licensable Manufacturing Process.  Uni-Pixel has completed the development of the core and foundation of its film manufacturing processes and has endeavored to protect the know-how and intellectual property in the developed processes.  The Company has establishes a technology transfer team to enable the transition of the Company’s manufacturing processes to targeted manufacturing partners and licensees.

·                  Target Leading Manufacturers.  Uni-Pixel plans to target leading display, materials and electronics manufacturers as potential partners and/or licensees of its TMOS and Opcuity Performance Engineered film technologies. The Company will provide extensive technical assistance and support to manufacturers who are early evaluators, developers, or users of its TMOS technology and film materials. Uni-Pixel believes that successful incorporation of its technology into the first military or commercial applications will place competitive pressure on other industry participants to adopt our technology solutions. Uni-Pixel will support “pull through” of its technologies by actively marketing its advantages to end product original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) that incorporate display or film technology into their devices.  This will allow Uni-Pixel’s production partners to gain access to the original equipment manufacturer supply chain driven by end OEMs seeking the competitive product advantages offered by the Company’s FSC-LCD, TMOS, and Opcuty film technologies.  Uni-Pixel will also target Original Design Manufacturers (ODMs) targeted to assemble its sub-components and films into OEM products.

·                  Drive Adoption by End-Product Original Equipment Manufacturers.  Uni-Pixel plans to use prototype devices and films to demonstrate its technology to original equipment and design manufacturers that produce end user products. The Company believes that the significant advantages that Uni-Pixel’s displays and films will offer in performance and protection can position it to be the standard for existing LCD based displays and will induce original equipment manufacturers to request UniPixel solutions from their existing display suppliers. This is considered a “pull-through” approach to gaining market acceptance and entry of FSC-LCD, TMOS, and Opcuity films for displays into end-user products and applications.

·                  Build the Company’s Revenue Sources.  Uni-Pixel believes that it will be able to produce revenues from four distinct sources, consisting of licensing revenues (initial licensing fees and royalties), subcontracted manufacturing revenues (from the Company’s low volume military and commercial production, joint ventures, or products produced by third party contract manufacturers), materials and film revenues (from the materials Uni-Pixel plans to supply to prospective partners, contract manufacturers, and licensees), and funded research revenues.

Uni-Pixel’s has previously contemplated TMOS initiatives include applications involving flexible displays, transparent displays and unique military applications which are conceptually possible. Uni-Pixel also plans to conduct research on the use of a variety of different thin-film technology in surface modification applications and the construction of multi-layer stacks where micro-structures can play unique functional roles. The Company’s focus on next-generation technologies is designed to extend Uni-Pixel’s position as the leading provider of FSC-LCD, TMOS solutions and Opcuity Performance Engineered Films as new markets and applications emerge.

MILESTONES TO COMMERCIALIZATION

Uni-Pixel will continue to focus on technical and business development milestones. The execution of its overall business plan includes a planned push (targeting panel manufacturers) and pull (targeting end device OEMs) strategy for accelerating product development, supporting market entry, and the expansion of production capability and capacity.  Over the course of the last two years, Uni-Pixel has pursued a technical development roadmap specific to TMOS and FSC-LCD technology that includes:

·                  Finalization of display pixel mechanics and materials;

·                  Optimization of the light management system (light injection and micro-optics designs);

10

Table of Contents

·                  Completion of supporting drive control circuitry;

·                  Finalized bonding techniques for completion of the active layer structure;

·                  Assembly and testing of multiple format prototype devices; and

·                  Finalization of specifications for retrofitting existing LCD manufacturing plants for FSC-LCD and TMOS production.

Specific to Opcuity Performance Engineered films we have pursued:

·                  Completion of designs for marketable products

·                  Completion of production processes that are transferable

·                  Completion of Distribution and Sales Agreements

·                  Completion of Supply and Manufacturing Agreements

Uni-Pixel’s senior management team will work with various targeted strategic partners in each step of the process to provide certain market and technical support resources.  Uni-Pixel has established the leverage of access to partner pilot lines in launching and growing a continuous flow manufacturing system.  This pilot line has been the initial platform for the finalization of the specifications to be included in the continuous flow manufacturing system.

CUSTOMERS AND PARTNERS

The future customers for the TMOS panel “packages” will be the OEMs that currently use existing display technologies such as LCD, Plasma, and OLED in their final products.  Therefore, the end customer for a Uni-Pixel TMOS panel package will be an integrator, assembler, ODM or the OEM itself.  Initially, Uni-Pixel’s strategic partners will be its primary customers through the commercialization process.  This will include its development partners such as Lockheed Martin, its manufacturing partners, and its other vertical market partners.

Uni-Pixel expects that it will pursue discussions with a variety of potential assembly and manufacturing partners as it achieves its technical milestones.  This will include the demonstration of panel packages that can either directly displace alternative technologies, or allow for unique new design implementations.  Once design wins for its panels are secured, Uni-Pixel will leverage these OEM customers for product unit demand to target potential manufacturing partners to expand production capacity.  Uni-Pixel has completed development work within several contracts and with partners that provide comprehensive validation of TMOS technology and that will serve as a basis for future customer growth.

The Company’s future Opcuity Performance Engineered Films customers should include a variety of companies from device OEMs to channel distribution partners.  Uni-Pixel will seek to sell rolls of film in uncut format as well as films that are die-cut and packaged as direct to market products.  The type and variety of film sales will depend on the nature of the specific buyer and target application for the film.

Current Partners

·                  Targus, Inc.: Uni-Pixel engaged Targus, Inc. as an exclusive distribution partner for its Opcutiy FPR product for certain target device markets.

·                  Avery Dennision: UniPixel engaged Avery Dennison as an exclusive production partner for specific varieties of its Opcuity FPR film products.  Avery provides assistance in the development and manufacturing of its thin film designs.  Implementation of the Opcutiy performance engineered films can be accomplished using a variety of materials that can achieve the required properties’ and characteristics.  No new or unique materials will be required, rather just the optimization of existing materials as implemented within the Avery process and system.  Initially Uni-Pixel engaged for development work with the objective of reaching a production agreement or joint venture with one or more thin film manufacturers.  During the course of 2009, Uni-Pixel secured a subcontracted manufacturing capacity for its initial thin film production and also signed two separate Memorandums of Understanding with production partners to provide alternative manufacturing capacity.

·                  FlexTech Alliance: UniPixel secured a grant contract from the FlexTech Alliance to bring its uniquely developed conductor patterning technology to the industry.  Developed for TMOS, UniPixel has demonstrated its technique to support the production of printed flexible circuitry and printed electronics.  The FlexTech has provided a grant of funds to transition this capability to the Center for Advanced Microelectronic Manufacturing in New York state.

Targeted Partners

·                  Drive Control Circuitry: Uni-Pixel is seeking partners for assistance in the development and manufacturing of its unique drive control circuitry.  Uni-Pixel has developed unique intellectual property that will be implemented through a “fab-less” semiconductor model.  This may include potential development of new intellectual property, cross licensing, and the use of certain existing semiconductor capabilities from one or more partners.  Uni-Pixel has developed a means to use off the shelf parts for certain drive control requirements that will allow it to produce prototypes in the short term, as well as leveraging the enhancements that its own unique drive control provides over the longer term.

·                  Manufacturing and Assembly Partners: Uni-Pixel is seeking strategic partners that are currently manufacturing  LCD display technologies or incorporating LCD display technologies into end user products.

Target Customers

·                  Large Computer OEM and ODM: Uni-Pixel has demonstrated unique proof of concept prototype devices and film products to large computer system OEMs under non-disclosure agreements to advance the evaluation of the technologies.  The initial prototypes established the first products for testing and evaluation and performance characterization for gathering direct performance feedback.  Additional work continues specific to advancing the prototypes to implementation within an end user product.

·                  Static and Active Signage OEM: Uni-Pixel is seeking potential partners in the vertical market of Graphic Signage.  Two dominant technologies exist in this vertical market, plasma displays for indoor applications and LED displays for outdoor applications.  Uni-Pixel’s technology offers unique and new capabilities that strongly differentiate it from both of these, and can potentially open a market not currently able to be targeted by either.  In the Static Signage Market, UniPixel believes that its TMOS display system principals as demonstrated by its Opcuity performance engineered films mounted in either a dynamic or static manner can provide low power high performance signage solutions.  This approach has been presented to targeted partners and is under consideration.

·                  Consumer Electronics Manufacturers (OEMs): Uni-Pixel has held initial exploratory meetings with a variety of consumer electronics OEMs that have all expressed a desire to leverage FSC-LCD, TMOS, and Opcuity FPR films for their unique attributes in their products.  This includes cell phone manufacturers, a computer OEM, and a television system producer.  Each of these interactions has resulted in an invitation to return for further engineering specific meetings as product development advances at Uni-Pixel.

SALES AND MARKETING

Uni-Pixel is seeking end user product OEMs that desire to integrate FSC-LCD flat panels, or TMOS developed sub-systems into their products once available and demonstrating their superior performance.  Uni-Pixel believes that some portion of the OEMs that have been engaged in these discussions will be interested in pursuing the advantages of FSC-LCD and TMOS flat panels as a significant differentiator for their products relative to their competition in their individual market segments over time.   Uni-Pixel believes that the proven entry into a single vertical market or application will drive the demand for expanded applications of FSC-LCD and thenTMOS flat panels to other product markets.

Uni-Pixel’s sales strategy intends to build a diverse revenue base that will derive revenues from multiple sources:

·                  Licensing revenues — Strategic manufacturing partners that license Uni-Pixel manufacturing processes for a manufacturing operation, cross licensed partners that produce portions of the materials or technology incorporated into FSC-LCD or TMOS subsystems or displays, and a silicon foundry partner that produces the display controller semiconductors.

·                  Product revenues — Proceeds from the sales of Opcuity performance engineered film products.

·                  Critical materials — Integrators or manufacturers that produce or assemble display panel packages.  For integrators this can include control driver chips from Uni-Pixel’s foundry partner.  For manufacturers this can include materials such as its Opcuity™ thin films featuring micro-optics and transparent conductors to be used in the display panel or sub-systems.

·                  Research contracts — Integrators that are seeking to leverage unique attributes that FSC-LCD, TMOS, or unique Opcuity performance engineered films can potentially provide.  Uni-Pixel expects that initially the US Government

will be a principal source of this variety having secured an initial contract with the FlexTech Alliance/United States Display Consortium.

The Company plans to continue to create demand for its products by utilizing a “pull through” strategy with specific targeted OEMs in various market segments.  Uni-Pixel will actively pursue OEMs by using its prototypes to demonstrate the advantages that FSC-LCD, TMOS, and Opcuity performance engineered films can provide in the form of improved efficiencies and performance. Uni-Pixel expects to create OEM “pull” by gaining design wins for integration of FSC-LCD systems, TMOS sub-component technology, and Opcuity films into established end user devices and applications.

Uni-Pixel will advance its “Simply Superior” and “Clearly Superior” tag lines and actively demonstrate the elegance and performance advantages of its unique solutions within the industry in support of its direct sales work with OEMs.  Once the initial products reach the market featuring Opcuity film technology, FSC-LCD systems, all based on TMOS developed display prototypes and Uni-Pixel begins to build momentum and manufacturing capacity within the industry, a marketing program will be launched to drive awareness of Uni-Pixel’s technology as a component “brand” within the end user products.  This can currently be seen on packaging developed by Targus, Inc. where UniPixel is a co-owner of the “Clear View Technology” trademark.  This marketing program will be designed to drive awareness and education among end users supporting UniPixel’s unique capabilities and enhanced performance.  Uni-Pixel believes that it will be able to promote its brand as a valued component brand included within the OEM products as a part of its relationship with the end product OEMs.  Ultimately the goal of this marketing program will be to establish Uni-Pixel and its unique technologies independently as a differentiating factor in end user products and to help promote the UniPixel component value proposition through its partner OEMs that implement FSC-LCD, or displays with TMOS developed technology in their products similar to what has been done in the PC industry by certain semiconductor companies.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

From inception through December 31, 2009, Uni-Pixel has spent approximately $24.5 million on research and development activities, with $2.8 million and $7.5 million invested in 2009 and 2008, respectively. Uni-Pixel continues conducting research and development both internally and externally and anticipates significantly higher investments going forward.

As of December 31, 2009, Uni-Pixel has one principal location conducting internal research.  The Company’s headquarters and primary development site are located in The Woodlands, Texas.  The headquarters location includes a Class 100 clean room where display materials testing and assembly is conducted, an electronics lab, optical testing facilities, test and measurement equipment, and electronics development systems.

Currently, Uni-Pixel is engaged in the development of next generation prototypes to further demonstrate the full functionality of the TMOS technology across multiple pixel sizes and a variety of implementations. The Company has consolidated its vendors to a small group that assist Uni-Pixel’s prototype efforts.  Working with its strategic partners, Uni-Pixel hopes to advance to the Company’s next generation working prototype devices.

Uni-Pixel prototype devices have demonstrate the image and color generation capabilities of the Company’s TMOS displays in multiple pixel sizes, including 0.25mm, 0.5mm, and 1mm. These devices have been used to identify the specific issues related to performance optimization and to their integration into unique end-product applications.

The next phase prototypes should serve to support a product roadmap that targets the production of viable commercial display panels within 24 months. The development process is intended to also include selecting and completing the preferable manufacturing processes that will be transferable to joint venture partner operations or licensees.

Uni-Pixel plans to complete the development of the preferred manufacturing process for its film products within the Company’s laboratory environment and has engaged a small-scale pilot production line that has been the research and development proving ground for a continuous flow manufacturing process followed potentially by a roll to roll manufacturing process for all of its Opcuity performance engineered films.

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and include salaries and benefits, costs to third party contractors to perform research or other activities related to the Company’s research, professional fees related to intellectual property work, and a portion of facilities costs.

COMPETITION

The display industry in which Uni-Pixel operates is highly competitive. While existing flat panel display technologies such as LCD, OLED, and Plasma currently dominate the marketplace, Uni-Pixel will be more specifically competing against other emerging technologies that also seek to improve the performance of display systems.  It is Uni-Pixel’s objective to enable the existing LCD manufacturing infrastructure to evolve forward first into FSC-LCD systems followed by TMOS production both as a forward extensions of current operations.  In this way, FSC-LCD and TMOS compete with inertia within the LCD industry and the resistance to change.  However, given the potentially compelling advantages that FSC-LCD and TMOS offer, the Company believes that this can be overcome.

Compared to its competition, Uni-Pixel believes it follows a more broadly developed business model allowing the Company to benefit from the following factors:

·                  A wide range of opportunity to enter the market;

·                  The flexibility to pursue multiple entry points to multiple market segments;

·                  The ability to be a supplier of key materials;

·                  The ability to profitably produce small volumes of products; and

·                  The ability to enable localized manufacturing and to leverage established infrastructures.

At the same time Uni-Pixel’s competitors typically follow only one or a subset of these factors providing a strategic advantage to Uni-Pixel.

Existing Technologies:

·                  Traditional Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) Competitors: Standard LCD is currently the dominant technology in the FPD sector with 95% market share. Samsung Electronics and LG Philips LCD Co. Ltd. are market leaders while additional competitors include:  Sharp Electronics Corp., NEC Corp., Hitachi Ltd., AU Optronics Corp., Chi Mei Optoelectronics Corp., Chunghwa Picture Tubes Ltd., Quanta Corp. and HannStar Display Corp.

·                  Plasma Competitors: Plasma technology has been losing market share steadily and exists only in large format TVs.

·                  Digital Light Processing (DLP) Competitors: Texas Instruments pioneered the DLP technology, which is a micro-mechanical structure of moving mirrors on a silicon backplane. Texas Instruments initial success selling its DLP products to its customers in the business front projector market maintains however its rear projection television market has collapsed.  Its customers are limited to Mitsubishi Digital Electronics and Samsung Electronics.

·                  OLED Competitors: Samsung SDI has moved to the leader having launched production of OLED displays in a relationship leveraging licenses from UDC.  Another OLED industry participant, Cambridge Display Technology (CDT), Ltd., was acquired by Sumitomo for its patent portfolio following the creation of a CDT joint venture with Sumitomo Chemicals to produce and manufacture polymer OLEDs.

·                  Other Technologies Competitors: There are a number of other technologies have reached the market in unique applications.  These include “electronic paper” implementations from E-Ink (acquired by Prime View International) primarily in eReader devices like the “Kindle” by Amazon. Additionally a silicon based MEMs system from Qualcomm called “Mirasol” has found niches in MP3 players and low cost cell phones and an alternative MEMS system has been in development by a company called Pixtronix.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Starting in 2004, Uni-Pixel began a significant expansion of its Intellectual Property (IP) portfolio.  As a pioneer in the arena of near field optics applied to micro electronic mechanical systems (MEMS) -based display technology, Uni-Pixel often creates a new invention when solving a technology issue.  Uni-Pixel has engaged one of the industry’s largest and most experienced IP firms to assist in the prosecution of our patent filings.  TMOS represents a “green field” technology in that it is a new approach to displays leveraging well known concepts in new ways.  This has created an unexplored arena for Uni-Pixel to innovate and generate IP on a continuing basis.

EMPLOYEES

As of March 1, 2010, we have 10 full-time employees and no part-time employees. None of these employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement, and we believe our relationship with our employees is good. We also employ consultants on an as-needed basis to supplement existing staff.

OUR COMPLIANCE WITH ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION LAWS

We are not aware of any current federal, state or local environmental compliance regulations that have a material effect on our business activities. We have not expended material amounts to comply with any environmental protection statutes and do not anticipate having to do so in the foreseeable future.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Set forth below are certain risks and uncertainties relating to our business.

You should carefully consider the following information about risks described below, together with the other information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and in our other filings with the SEC, before you decide to buy or maintain an investment in our common stock. We believe the risks described below are the risks that are material to us as of the filing date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.  If any of the following risks actually occur, our business financial condition, operating results and future growth prospects would likely be materially and adversely affected. In these circumstances, the market price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of the money you paid to buy our common stock.

Risks Related to our Business and Industry

Our independent registered public accounting firm has issued an unqualified opinion with an explanatory paragraph, to the effect that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Our independent registered public accounting firm has issued an unqualified opinion with an explanatory paragraph, to the effect that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. This unqualified opinion with an explanatory paragraph could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

We have no committed sources of capital and do not know whether additional financing will be available when needed on terms that are acceptable, if at all. The addition of this going concern statement from our independent registered public accounting firm may discourage some investors from purchasing our stock or providing alternative capital financing. The failure to satisfy our capital requirements will adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Unless we raise additional funds, either through the sale of equity securities or one or more collaborative arrangements, we will not have sufficient funds to continue operations. Even if we take these actions, they may be insufficient, particularly if our costs are higher than projected or unforeseen expenses arise.

We are a development stage company with limited operating history and our future profitability is uncertain and we anticipate future losses and negative cash flow, which may limit or delay our ability to become profitable.

We are attempting to obtain the necessary working capital for operations, but there can be no assurance we will obtain such financing. We have not yet demonstrated our ability to generate revenue, and there is no assurance that we will produce any material revenues for ourselves or our stockholders, or that we will operate on a profitable basis. As of December 31, 2009, we had an accumulated total deficit during development stage of $49.9 million.

We are a development stage company with a limited operating history and no significant revenues to date. To date, we have had only a few revenue-generating services and development contracts.  We expect to expend significant resources on consultants, intellectual property protection, research and development, advertising, hiring of personnel and startup costs. As a result, we have incurred losses since our inception and expect to experience operating losses and negative cash flow for the foreseeable future. We anticipate our losses will continue to increase from current levels because we expect to incur additional costs and expenses related to prototype development, consulting costs, laboratory development costs, marketing and other promotional activities, the addition of engineering and manufacturing personnel, and the continued development of relationships with strategic business partners.

Since inception, we have generated limited revenues while incurring significant losses. We expect to incur losses for the foreseeable future and until such time, if ever, as we are able to achieve sufficient levels of revenue from the commercial exploitation of our TMOS technology and materials to support our operations. However, planned products based upon our TMOS technology may never become commercially viable. Markets for flat panel displays utilizing our proprietary TMOS technology may be limited. We may never generate sufficient revenues from the commercial exploitation of our TMOS technology and materials to become profitable. Even if we find commercially viable applications for our TMOS technology and materials, we may never recover our research and development expenses.

16

Table of Contents

If we do not receive additional financing when and as needed in the future, we may not be able to continue the research, development and commercialization of our TMOS technology and materials.

Our capital requirements have been and will continue to be significant. We will likely require substantial additional funds in excess of our current financial resources in the future for research, development and commercialization of our TMOS technology and materials, to obtain and maintain patents and other intellectual property rights in these technologies and materials, and for working capital and other purposes, the timing and amount of which are difficult to ascertain. Our cash on hand will likely not be sufficient to meet all of our future needs. When and as we need additional funds, such funds may not be available on commercially reasonable terms or at all. If we cannot obtain additional funding when and as needed, our business might fail. Additionally, if we attempt to raise funds in a future offering of shares of our common stock, preferred stock, warrants or depositary shares, or if we engage in acquisitions involving the issuance of such securities, the issuance of these shares could, subject to any anti-dilution provisions, dilute the ownership of our then-existing stockholders.

Our brand name and technology may not be recognized in our marketplace, so our results of operations and financial condition may suffer.

Our brand name and technology are new and unproven. If we are unable to effectively develop and timely promote our brand and technology and establish a leading position in our marketplace, our results of operations and financial condition will suffer. We believe that the importance of brand recognition and technology will increase over time. In order to gain brand recognition, we may increase our marketing and advertising budgets to create and maintain brand loyalty.

We may fail to protect adequately our proprietary technology, which would allow our competitors to take advantage of our research and development efforts.

Our long-term success largely depends on our ability to market technologically competitive processes and products. We rely on a combination of patent, trade secret and other intellectual property laws, confidentiality and security procedures and contractual provisions to establish and protect our proprietary rights in our technology, products and processes. If we fail to obtain or maintain these protections, we may not be able to prevent third parties from using our proprietary technologies. Our currently pending or future patent applications may not result in issued patents. In addition, our issued patents may not contain claims sufficiently broad to protect us against third parties with similar technologies or products or from third parties infringing our patents or misappropriating our trade secrets or provide us with any competitive advantage. In addition, effective patent and other intellectual property protection may be unenforceable or limited in foreign countries. If a third party initiates litigation regarding the validity of our patents, and is successful, a court could revoke our patents or limit the scope of coverage for those patents.

We also rely upon trade secrets, proprietary know-how and continuing technological innovation to remain competitive. We protect this information with reasonable security measures, including the use of confidentiality and invention assignment agreements with our employees and consultants and confidentiality agreements with strategic partners. It is possible that these individuals or companies will breach these agreements and that any remedies for a breach will be insufficient to allow us to recover our costs. Furthermore, our trade secrets, know-how and other technology may otherwise become known or be independently discovered by our competitors.

If we fail to enter cooperative research agreements, we might not succeed in commercializing our TMOS technology and materials.

Research and development of commercially viable applications for our TMOS technology and materials may at some point depend substantially on the success of the work conducted by and with our present and future research partners. We cannot be certain that these research partners will make the additional advances in the research and development of these technologies and materials that may be essential to successfully commercialize our TMOS technology and materials. Moreover, although we fund TMOS technology research, the scope and technical aspects of this research and the resources and efforts directed to this research currently are and may remain in large part subject to the control of our research partners.

If we cannot form and maintain lasting business relationships with flat panel display manufacturers or other targeted partners, or if we cannot obtain proprietary TMOS materials, our business strategy could suffer or fail.

Our business strategy includes some dependence upon our development and maintenance of commercial licensing and material supply relationships with high-volume manufacturers of flat panel displays. All of our current relationship discussions with display manufacturers are limited to technology exploration and the evaluation of our TMOS technology and materials for possible use in commercial display applications. Some or all of these relationships may not succeed or, even

17

Table of Contents

if they are successful, may not result in the display manufacturers’ entering into commercial licensing and material supply relationships with us.

Under our planned technology development and evaluation agreements, we intend to work with strategic partners to incorporate their technologies into our products for the commercial production of TMOS displays. However, many of these technology development and evaluation agreements may last for limited periods of time, such that our relationships with these partners could expire unless they are continually renewed. Our partners may not agree to renew their relationships with us on a continuing basis. In addition, we may continue working with certain strategic partners in evaluating our TMOS technology and materials after our existing agreements with them have expired while we are attempting to negotiate contract extensions or new agreements with them. Should our relationships with these partners not materialize, or once in place, not continue to be renewed, our business could suffer.

Our ability to enter into commercial licensing and material supply relationships, or to maintain our existing technology development and evaluation relationships, may require us to make financial or other commitments. We might not be able, for financial or other reasons, to enter into or continue these relationships on commercially acceptable terms, or at all. Failure to do so will likely harm our business strategy, operating results and long-term business prospects.

Our business prospects depend significantly on our ability to obtain or produce proprietary materials for our own use and for potential sale to display manufacturers.  A previously proposed development and license agreement with a national laboratory was terminated in 2007 after it was determined that the targeted material was no longer applicable to the function it was evaluated to provide, and, therefore, there was no need to conclude a further agreement.  Our inability to reach agreements to obtain certain other materials from other sources could have a materially adverse effect on our ability to generate revenues from sales of these materials, as well as on our ability to perform research and development work. Further, failure to complete long term agreements could preclude our ability to support display manufacturers that would choose to license our TMOS technology and materials for possible commercial use.  Also, a license with a national laboratory or government agency may be subject to significant United States government rights and restrictions that may reduce the Company’s ability to enter into overseas manufacturing agreements and licenses.

The United States government will have certain rights to our TMOS technology that might prevent us from realizing the benefits of these technologies.

The United States government, through various government agencies, has provided and continues to provide funding to us for research activities related to certain applications of our TMOS technology. Because we have been provided with this funding, the government has rights to certain applications of our technology that could restrict our ability or our licenses to market products to the government for military and other applications, or to third parties for commercial applications. Moreover, if the government determines that we have not taken effective steps to achieve practical application of our patented inventions that were funded by the government in any field-of-use in a reasonable time, the government could require us to grant licenses to other parties in that field of use. Any of these occurrences would limit our ability to obtain the full benefits of our TMOS technology.

We may incur substantial costs as a result of litigation or other proceedings relating to patent and other intellectual property rights.

A third party may sue us or one of our strategic collaborators for infringing its intellectual property rights. Likewise, we may need to resort to litigation to enforce our patent rights or to determine the scope and validity of third-party intellectual property rights.

The cost to us of any litigation or other proceeding relating to intellectual property rights, even if resolved in our favor, could be substantial, and the litigation would divert our efforts. Some of our competitors may be able to sustain the costs of complex patent litigation more effectively than we can because they have substantially greater resources. If we do not prevail in this type of litigation, we or our strategic collaborators may be required to pay monetary damages; stop commercial activities relating to the affected products or services; obtain a license in order to continue manufacturing or marketing the affected products or services; or compete in the market with a substantially similar product.

Uncertainties resulting from the initiation and continuation of any litigation could limit our ability to continue some of our operations. In addition, a court may require that we pay expenses or damages, and litigation could disrupt our commercial activities.

If we are unable to keep up with rapid technological changes, our processes, products or services may become obsolete.

The flat panel display market is characterized by significant and rapid technological change. Although we will continue to expand our technological capabilities in order to remain competitive, research and discoveries by others may make our processes, products or services less attractive or even obsolete. If we cannot compete effectively in the marketplace, our potential for profitability and financial position will suffer.

If our TMOS technology and materials are not technically and commercially feasible for broad-based product applications, we may never generate revenues sufficient to support ongoing operations.

To generate revenues sufficient to support ongoing operations, our business strategy ultimately requires the development and maintenance of commercial licensing and material supply relationships with high-volume display manufacturers. Before display manufacturers will agree to utilize our TMOS technology and materials for wide-scale commercial production, they will likely require us to demonstrate to their satisfaction that our TMOS technology and materials are feasible for broad-based product applications of which there can be no assurances given. This, in turn, will require substantial advances in our research and development efforts in a number of areas, including manufacturability the development of feasible TMOS materials for TMOS displays and issues related to scalability and cost-effective fabrication technologies for product applications.

Our efforts may never demonstrate the feasibility of our TMOS technology and materials for broad-based product applications.

Our research and development efforts remain subject to all of the risks associated with the development of new products based on emerging and innovative technologies, including, without limitation, unanticipated technical or other problems and the possible insufficiency of funds for completing development of these products. Technical problems may result in delays and cause us to incur additional expenses that would increase our losses. If we cannot complete, or if we experience significant delays in completing, research and development of our TMOS technology and materials for use in potential commercial applications, particularly after incurring significant expenditures, our business may fail.

Even if our TMOS technology is technically feasible, it may not be adopted by display manufacturers.

The potential size, timing and viability of market opportunities targeted by us are uncertain at this time. Market acceptance of our TMOS technology and materials will depend, in part, upon the technology’s providing benefits greater than or comparable to cathode ray tubes, or CRT, plasma display and LCD technologies (the current standard display technologies) at an appropriate cost, and the adoption of our TMOS technology by consumers and manufacturers, neither of which has been achieved. Also, many potential licensees of our TMOS technology currently manufacture flat panel displays utilizing competing technologies, and may, therefore, be reluctant to redesign their products or manufacturing processes to incorporate our TMOS technology. Moreover, there may be a number of additional technologies that display manufacturers need to utilize in production or may need to be used in conjunction with our TMOS technology in order to bring TMOS displays and products containing them to the market. If display manufacturers are unable to obtain access to these additional technologies, they may not utilize our TMOS technology.

The flat panel display market is currently, and we believe will likely continue to be for some time, dominated by displays based on LCD technology. Numerous companies are making substantial investments in, and conducting research to improve characteristics of LCDs. Additionally, several other flat panel display technologies have been, or are being, developed, including technologies for the production of field emission, inorganic electroluminescence, gas plasma and vacuum fluorescent displays. Of particular note, competing OLED technologies have entered the marketplace prior to TMOS and may become entrenched in the flat panel industry before our TMOS technology has a chance to become widely utilized. In each case, advances in LCD, OLED, or other flat panel display technologies could result in technologies that are more cost-effective, have fewer display limitations, or can be brought to market faster than our TMOS technology. These advances in competing technologies might cause display manufacturers to avoid entering into commercial relationships with us, or not renew planned or existing relationships with us.

We believe that TMOS display technologies ultimately may be able to overcome certain existing limitations of LCD and other flat panel display technologies, such as high power consumption, costly manufacturing methods, poor contrast ratios and limited viewing angles. However, other companies may succeed in improving these competing display technologies, or in developing new display technologies, that are superior to our TMOS display technology in various respects. We cannot predict the timing or extent to which such improvements or developments may occur. If our TMOS

19

Table of Contents

technology is unable to capture a substantial portion of the overall display market for these competitive reasons, our business strategy may fail.

Many of our competitors have greater resources, and it may be difficult to compete against them.

The flat panel display industry is characterized by intense competition. Many of our competitors have better name recognition and substantially greater financial, technical, manufacturing, marketing, personnel and/or research capabilities than we do. They have made and continue to make substantial investments in improving their technologies and manufacturing processes. In addition, we believe that at times in the past some plasma and LCD display panel manufacturers have priced their products below the marginal cost of production in an attempt to establish, retain or increase market share. Because of these circumstances, it may be difficult to compete successfully in the display market.

The loss of the services of our key management and personnel or the failure to attract additional key personnel could adversely affect our ability to operate our business.

A loss of one or more of our current officers or key employees could severely and negatively impact our operations. Specifically, the loss of services of Reed J. Killion, CEO and President, Jim Tassone, Chief Financial Officer, Dan Van Ostrand, Executive Vice President or Robert Petcavich, Vice President & General Manager Opcuity Films, none of whom has an employment agreement with us, could significantly harm our business. We have no present intention of obtaining key-man life insurance on any of our executive officers or management. Additionally, competition for highly skilled technical, managerial and other personnel is intense. As our business develops, we might not be able to attract, hire, train, retain and motivate the highly skilled managers and employees we need to be successful. If we fail to attract and retain the necessary technical and managerial personnel, our business will suffer and might fail.

Uni-Pixel is receiving limited indemnification from certain current and former principals of our predecessor company, Real-Estateforlease.com, Inc.

Although the predecessor company to Uni-Pixel and Real-Estateforlease.com, Inc., Super Shops, Inc., filed for bankruptcy and received plan confirmation for its plan of reorganization on July 31, 2000, Uni-Pixel, Inc. has never filed nor been a party to any reorganization, liquidation or other proceeding under the Federal Bankruptcy Code and may therefore have liabilities of which we are currently unaware. Uni-Pixel received typical representations and warranties from the former principals of Real-Estateforlease.com, Inc. pursuant to the merger agreement by and among Real-Estateforlease.com, Inc., Uni-Pixel Displays, Inc., Gemini V, Inc. and Uni-Pixel Merger Sub, Inc. However, Uni-Pixel will only receive the following indemnification protection from the former principals of Real-Estateforlease.com, Inc. for its liabilities and claims: (i) for the period of July 31, 2000 (the confirmation date of Super Shops, Inc.’s plan of reorganization) through June 13, 2001 from Halter Financial Group, Inc., a stockholder of Real-Estateforlease.com, Inc.; (ii) for the period of June 14, 2001 through November 14, 2004 from David DiSalvo, the former President, Secretary, Treasurer and sole board member for Real-Estateforlease.com, Inc.; and (iii) for the period of November 15, 2004 going forward from Frank M. DeLape, the former Chairman of the Board of Uni-Pixel, Inc.

The indemnification protection provided by Halter Financial Group, Inc., David DiSalvo and Frank M. DeLape is further limited, in the aggregate, to the value of our Common Stock received by each of the indemnitors in the merger transaction with Real-Estateforlease.com, Inc. determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock received by each pursuant to the merger by $1.75. Frank M. DeLape received approximately 1,812,800 shares of Common Stock, Halter Financial Group received approximately 380,000 shares of Common Stock and David DiSalvo received approximately 75,000 shares of Common Stock. Therefore, the highest dollar amount that any one of these parties will indemnify us for during his or its indemnification period as described in the preceding paragraph, is $3,172,400.

If indemnification claims do arise with respect to any liabilities or claims of or against Real-Estateforlease.com, Inc., and either (i) Messrs. DiSalvo, Halter and DeLape are unable to satisfy their indemnification obligations to us, or (ii) such liabilities or claims exceed $3,172,400, we would suffer a loss, which loss would impact our financial condition and the value of our Common Stock and our Preferred Stock. If the liability or claim is substantially in excess of $3,172,400, we might be forced to seek bankruptcy protection.

The flat panel display industry has historically experienced significant downturns, which may adversely affect the demand for and pricing of our TMOS technology and materials.

The flat panel display industry has experienced significant periodic downturns, often in connection with, or in anticipation of, declines in general economic conditions. These downturns have been characterized by lower product demand,

Table of Contents

production overcapacity and erosion of average selling prices. Our business strategy to some degree is dependent on display manufacturers building and selling displays that incorporate our TMOS technologies and materials. Industry-wide fluctuations and downturns in the demand for flat panel displays, and low power consumption or high performance displays in particular, would likely affect the demand for and pricing of our TMOS technologies and materials and could cause significant harm to our business.

Risks Related to Owning Our Securities

Our Common Stock has traded only sporadically and is expected to experience significant price and volume volatility in the future which substantially increases the risk of loss to persons owning our Common Stock.

There was no public market for our Common Stock prior to February 3, 2005. At best, only a limited market has developed and is expected to continue to develop in the foreseeable future for our Common Stock. Because of the limited trading market for our Common Stock, and the possible price volatility, you may not be able to sell your shares of Common Stock when you desire to do so. The inability to sell your shares in a rapidly declining market may substantially increase your risk of loss because of such illiquidity and because the price for our Common Stock may suffer greater declines because of its price volatility.

We cannot predict the extent to which investor interest in our stock will create or sustain an active and orderly trading market. If such a market were to develop, the market price of our Common Stock may continue to be highly volatile. The sale of a large block of shares could depress the price of our Common Stock to a greater degree than a company that typically has a higher volume of trading in its securities. The value of your investment could decline due to the impact of any of the following factors upon the market price of our Common Stock:

·                  Disappointing results from our development efforts;

·                  Failure to meet our revenue or profit goals or operating budget;

·                  Decline in demand for our Common Stock;

·                  Downward revisions in securities analysts’ estimates or changes in general market conditions;

·                  Technological innovations by competitors or in competing technologies;

·                  Investor perception of our industry or our prospects;

·                  General economic trends;

·                  Variations in our quarterly operating results;

·                  Our inability to increase revenues:

·                  Announcement of new customer relationships by our competitors;

·                  Departures of our executive officers;

·                  General conditions in the worldwide economy, including fluctuations in interest rates;

·                  Developments in patents or other intellectual property rights and litigation;

·                  Developments in our relationships with our customers and suppliers;

·                  Any significant acts of terrorism against the United States; and

·                  Our currently limited public float.

Our Common Stock has traded as low as $0.23 and as high as $5.50 during a period from February 3, 2005 through December 31, 2009. In addition to volatility associated with Bulletin Board securities in general, the markets for high technology stocks have experienced extreme volatility that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of the particular companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of our common shares.

We are not required to meet or maintain any listing standards for our Common Stock to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, which could affect our stockholders’ ability to access trading information about our Common Stock.

The OTC Bulletin Board is separate and distinct from the NASDAQ Stock Market. Although the OTC Bulletin Board is a regulated quotation service operated by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (“NASD”) that displays real-time quotes, last sale prices, and volume information in over-the-counter equity securities like our Common Stock, we are not required to meet or maintain any qualitative or quantitative listing standards for our Common Stock to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. Our Common Stock does not presently meet the minimum listing standards for listing on the NASDAQ Stock Market or any national securities exchange which could affect our stockholders’ ability to access trading information about our Common Stock.

The OTC Bulletin Board is generally considered to be a less efficient market than the established exchanges or the NASDAQ markets. While we anticipate seeking to be listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market or a national exchange at some

21

Table of Contents

time in the future, it is impossible at this time to predict when, if ever, such application will be made or whether such application will be successful.

Our Common Stock may be subject to penny stock rules, which make it more difficult for our stockholders to sell their Common Stock.

Our Common Stock is subject to certain rules and regulations relating to “penny stocks” (generally defined as any equity security that is not quoted on the NASDAQ Stock Market and that has a price less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exemptions). Broker-dealers who sell penny stocks are subject to certain “sales practice requirements” for sales in certain non-exempt transactions (i.e., sales to persons other than established customers and institutional “accredited investors”), including requiring delivery of a standardized risk disclosure document relating to the penny stock market and monthly statements disclosing recent bid and offer quotations for the penny stock held in the account, and certain other restrictions. If the broker-dealer is the sole market maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this, as well as the fact that the broker-dealer has presumed control over the market. In addition, the penny stock rules generally require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock the broker-dealer make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for a stock that becomes subject to the penny stock rules. For as long as our securities are subject to the rules on penny stocks, the liquidity of our Common Stock could be significantly limited. This lack of liquidity may also make it more difficult for us to raise capital in the future.

We do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.

We have never paid cash dividends on our shares of Common Stock, and have no plans to do so in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain earnings, if any, to develop and expand our business operations.

Dividends

The Company has never paid dividends on its Common Stock. Currently, the Company anticipates that it will retain earnings, if any, to support operations and to finance the growth and development of its business and does not anticipate paying cash dividends on the Common Stock in the foreseeable future.

The holders of Series A Preferred Stock received cumulative annual dividends, payable in shares of Series A Preferred Stock or cash, at the option of the Board of Directors, at an annual rate of 6% ($0.21 per share), payable on December 31 of each year commencing December 31, 2005 through December 31, 2007. Unpaid dividends will accumulate and be payable prior to the payment of dividends on shares of Common Stock. Cash dividends will only be payable from funds legally available therefore, when and as declared by the Board of Directors of the Company, and unpaid dividends will accumulate until the Company can legally pay the dividends. In 2007, the Company paid accumulated dividends to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock in the amount of 262,846 shares of Common Stock.  In 2006, the Company paid accumulated dividends to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock in the amount of 134,117 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, as well as 16,282 shares of Common Stock.  All shares of Series A Preferred Stock had been redeemed by the Company as of December 31, 2007.

The holders of Series B Preferred Stock will receive cumulative annual dividends.  Dividends shall accrue, whether or not declared and paid, on the Series B Preferred Stock at the rate per annum of 8%, and shall be cumulative as to any dividends not declared and paid in any year, compounding annually at the same rate.  Each share of Series B Preferred Stock may, at the option of the holder, be converted at any time into a number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock of the Company equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the original issue price of $3.75 for the Series B Preferred Shares, plus all accrued and unpaid Series B Preferred Stock dividends and any other declared and unpaid dividends, by the initial Series B Preferred Stock conversion price, which is $0.75 but is subject to adjustment from time to time in accordance with the Certificate of Designations.

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operation should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes that appear elsewhere in this prospectus. This discussion contains forward-looking statements and information relating to our business that reflect our current views and assumptions with respect to future events and are subject to risks and uncertainties, including the risks in the section entitled “Risk Factors”, that may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to disseminate any update or revisions of any of the forward-looking statements to reflect any change in our expectations with regard thereto or to conform these statements to actual results.

Overview

Uni-Pixel is a development stage company that has developed, patented and demonstrated a new color display technology in the form of proof of concept prototypes, which we call Time Multiplexed Optical Shutter (“TMOS”).  We intend to be a leader in the research, development and commercialization of new flat panel displays using TMOS in a variety of applications, such as mobile phones, digital cameras, notebook computers, televisions and other consumer electronic devices. Our work developing TMOS has led to advances in the thin film arena that have other marketable applications.  We intend to explore the business potential within these applications and pursue those thin film markets that offer profitable opportunities either through licensing or direct production and sales.  As of December 31, 2009, we had accumulated a total deficit of $49.9 million from operations in pursuit of these objectives.

We anticipate that our TMOS displays will be thin, lightweight, and power-efficient devices, which are highly suitable for use in full-color display applications.  We believe TMOS displays will be able to capture a share of the growing $90+ billion flat panel display market due to the significant advantages it should provide over competing displays with respect to manufacturing and materials cost, brightness, power efficiency, viewing angle, video response time and image quality.  We believe that our technology leadership and intellectual property position will enable us to generate revenues initially from TMOS displays for existing vertical market segments such as the military, avionics, and automotive segments, and then subsequently from consumer electronics markets (i.e., TVs, monitors, personal computers, cameras, games, etc.).

Our strategy is to further develop our proprietary TMOS technology to the point of being able to transition the technology to manufacturing partners.  We have and will continue to utilize contract manufacturing for prototype fabrication to augment our internal capabilities in the short term.  We also plan to be a supplier of our key thin film component and to enter into joint ventures in certain vertical market segments to exploit the existing manufacturing and distribution channels of our targeted partners.  We plan to license our technology to display manufacturers and supporting partner companies for use in applications such as mobile phones, digital cameras, laptop computers, and other consumer electronic devices. Through our internal research and development efforts, we have established a portfolio of TMOS-related patents and patent applications and other intellectual property rights that support these joint venture and licensing strategies.  We currently have 38 issued patents, 1 allowed patents, and 44 pending patent applications filed in key venues worldwide including regionally in Europe, Asia Pacific, South Americaand North America.  We also contemplate obtaining exclusive field-of-use licenses, (which would include the right to sublicense) to complementary technologies from targeted, strategic partners and U.S. national laboratories.

During the course of 2008, we developed our first independent thin film product opportunity.  This unique variation of the thin film developed for TMOS can be applied to a variety of touch screen product devices as a protective cover.  We intend to market this thin film product under our brand Opcuity™ to various potential distribution and channel partners.

Through December 31, 2009, we have been primarily engaged in developing our initial product technologies, recruiting personnel, commencing our U.S. operations and raising capital. In the course of our development activities, we have sustained losses and expect such losses to continue through at least 2010. We will finance our operations primarily through our existing cash and possible future financing transactions.

Our ability to operate profitably under our current business plan is largely contingent upon our success in developing our products beyond proof of concept to final prototypes, supporting transferable manufacturing processes to partners to produce our products and successfully developing markets and manufacturing relationships for our products.  We may be required to obtain additional capital in the future to expand our operations. No assurance can be given that we will be able to develop our products, successfully develop the markets or profitable manufacturing methods for our products, or raise any such additional capital as we might need, either through equity or debt financing, on satisfactory terms or at all. Additionally, no assurance can be given that any such financing, if obtained, will be adequate to meet our ultimate capital needs or to support our growth. If adequate capital cannot be obtained on satisfactory terms, our operations could be negatively impacted.

If we achieve growth in our operations in the next few years, such growth could place a strain on our management, administrative, operational and financial infrastructure. Our ability to manage our current operations and future growth requires the continued improvement of operational, financial and management controls, reporting systems and procedures. In addition, we may find it necessary to hire additional management, financial and sales and marketing personnel to manage our

26

Table of Contents

expanding operations. If we are unable to manage this growth effectively, our business, operating results and financial condition may be materially adversely affected.

As of December 31, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of $0.3 million.  We believe that our existing capital resources are adequate to finance our operations until March 2010.  Our working capital may not be sufficient to meet all of the needs of our business objectives through the end of 2010.  We would be able to sustain operations for a reasonable period of time (12 months), but it would require significant reductions in our operating expenditures and product development activities, if we did not receive additional funding.  Management has instituted a cost reduction program that included a reduction in labor and operating costs.  However, our long-term viability is dependent upon our ability to successfully operate our business, develop our manufacturing process, sign partnership agreements, develop our products and raise additional debt and equity to meet our business objectives.

The financial statements presented in this annual report include Uni-Pixel, Inc. and our wholly-owned subsidiary, Uni-Pixel Displays, Inc. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Uni-Pixel Displays, Inc. was, for accounting purposes, the surviving entity of the merger, and accordingly for the periods prior to the merger, the financial statements reflect the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Uni-Pixel Displays, Inc.  The assets, liabilities, operations and cash flows of Real-Estateforlease.com, Inc. are included in the consolidated financial statements from December 10, 2004 onward. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, as further discussed in Note 2. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of the Company’s assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business but does not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Critical Accounting Policies

The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 3 of Notes to the audited Consolidated Financial Statements. However, certain accounting policies and estimates are particularly important to the understanding of our financial position and results of operations and require the application of significant judgment by our management or can be materially affected by changes from period to period in economic factors or conditions that are outside of our control.  As a result, they are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. In applying these policies, our management uses their judgment to determine the appropriate assumptions to be used in the determination of certain estimates. Those estimates are based on our historical operations, our future business plans and projected financial results, the terms of existing contracts, our observance of trends in the industry, information provided by our customers and information available from other outside sources, as appropriate. The following discusses our significant accounting policies and estimates.

Revenue Recognition:  We recognize revenue over the period the service is performed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 605 Revenue Recognition (“Topic 605”), previously SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” (“SAB 104”). In general, four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists, (2) delivery has occurred or services rendered, (3) the fee is fixed and determinable, and (4) collectability is reasonably assured.

Advance payments are deferred until shipment. The amount of the revenue deferred represents the fair value of the remaining undelivered products measured Topic 605, previously Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 00-21, “Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Mutliple Deliverablables,” which addresses the issue of accounting for arrangements that involve the delivery of multiple products or services..

Revenue from licenses and other up-front fees are recognized on a ratable basis over the term of the respective agreement.

Cost of Sales and Selling, General and Administrative Expenses and Research and Development Expenses:  In an effort to consolidate our executive management team, we moved our headquarters from Austin, Texas to The Woodlands, Texas during the third quarter of 2005.  The primary purpose of our facility in The Woodlands, Texas is to conduct research on the development, testing and delivery of our prototype devices and to take the steps necessary for the commercialization of our products.  Therefore, the costs incurred in operating our facility in The Woodlands, Texas have been classified as research and development expenses.

27

Table of Contents

If, in the future, the purposes for which we operate our facility in The Woodlands, Texas, or any new facilities we open, changes, the allocation of the costs incurred in operating that facility between cost of sales and research and development expenses could change to reflect such operational changes.

Research and Development Expenses:  Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and include salaries and benefits, costs paid to third-party contractors for research, development and manufacturing of materials and devices, and a portion of facilities cost. Prototype development costs are a significant component of research and development expenses and include costs associated with third-party contractors. Invoicing from third-party contractors for services performed can lag several months. We accrue the costs of services rendered in connection with third-party contractor activities based on our estimate of management fees, site management and monitoring costs and data management costs. Actual costs may differ in some cases from estimated costs and are adjusted for in the period in which they become known.

Intangible Assets:  Our intangible assets represent patents and patent applications, acquired from third parties, which are recorded at cost and amortized over the life of the patent.  We review the value recorded for intangible assets to assess recoverability from future operations using undiscounted cash flows. Impairments are recognized in operating results to the extent the carrying value exceeds fair value determined based on the net present value of estimated future cash flows.

Stock-Based Compensation:  We recognize the cost of stock options and restricted stock with in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 Compensation — Stock Compensation (“Topic 718”), previously SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004) (“SFAS No. 123(R)”), “Share Based Payment.”  Topic 718 requires us to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award.  That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the reward—known as the requisite service period. No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service. The grant-date fair value of employee share options and similar instruments will be estimated using option-pricing models adjusted for the unique characteristics of those instruments. Topic 718  must be applied to all options granted or modified after its effective date and also to recognize the cost associated with the portion of any option awards made before its effective date for which the associated service has not been rendered as of its effective date.

Results of Operations

Comparison of Fiscal Years Ending December 31, 2009 and 2008

REVENUES.  We are a development stage company that has developed, patented and demonstrated a new color display technology in the form of proof of concept prototypes which we call Time Multiplexed Optical Shutter (“TMOS”).  We intend to be a leader in the research, development and commercialization of new flat panel displays using TMOS in a variety of applications, such as mobile phones, digital cameras, notebook computers, televisions and other consumer electronic devices. From inception, we have had a limited amount of revenue, all of which has been derived from development contracts.

Revenues stayed constant at $0 for the year ended December 31, 2009, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2008.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Operating Activities

Cash used in operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2009 decreased to $3,747,280 as compared to $9,039,712 used for the year ended December 31, 2008. The decrease is primarily a result of decreases in research and development spending.

Investing Activities

Cash used for investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2009 amounted to $0, as compared to $622,166 used for investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2008. This is primarily attributable to the acquisition of patents and patent applications in the second quarter of 2008 in the amount of approximately $197,000 and the acquisition of approximately $426,000 of property and equipment during the year ended December 31, 2008.

Financing Activities

We have financed our operating and investing activities primarily from the proceeds of private placements of common stock, convertible investor notes, and a preferred stock offering which we closed in December 2004, January 2005, February 2007, September 2007, June 2009, August 2009, September 2009, October 2009, and December 2009.

The total net cash provided by financing activities was $2,019,583 for the year ended December 31, 2009, which includes:

·                  $2,325,000 proceeds from convertible notes payable: and

·                  $305,417 payment of deferred loan costs.

The total net cash provided by financing activities was $0 for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Working Capital

As of December 31, 2009, we had a cash balance of $0.3 million. In the 4th quarter of 2008, the Company’s management began to reduce operating expenses and delay planned expenditures to preserve the Company’s working capital.  We project that current cash reserves will sustain our operations at least through March 2010. Our working capital may not be sufficient to meet all of the needs of our business objectives through the end of 2010.  We would be able to sustain operations for a reasonable period of time (12 months), but it would require significant reductions in our operating expenditures and product development activities, if we did not receive additional funding.  Management has instituted a cost reduction program that included a reduction in labor and operating costs.  This program included the termination of 10 employees which we expect will reduce operating cost by approximately $60,000 per month.

We are a development stage company and have not experienced significant operations since our formation. We reached a positive working capital position as of the first quarter of 2005 as a result of our financing activities. We have incurred significant operating losses during the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009. We intend to utilize a proprietary methodology for development of our displays. Our principal activities, from the beginning of the development stage, have been organizational matters, capital raising activities including issuance of stock, product research and development, fund raising, and market research.

To date, we have had only a few revenue-generating services or development contracts.  These include a prototype development agreement with a large personal computer company, and a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase One agreement with the U.S. Air Force for $98,214 and a follow-on Phase Two agreement for $686,966.  We also entered into a prototype development agreement with Lockheed Martin, a large military contractor, in October 2005, for which we have received full payment.  Our immediate customer prospects are limited to Lockheed Martin, with which we entered into a License and Strategic Business Agreement dated October 5, 2005.

Management will work to establish specific applications for our display technology that we believe will generate significant revenues and cash flows to support operations.

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act and for assessing the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or a deterioration in the level of compliance with the policies or procedures.

Management has assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009.  In making its assessment, management used the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.  This assessment included an evaluation of the design of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and testing of the operational effectiveness of those controls.  Based on the results of this assessment, management has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2009.

Company non-employee directors receive an annual stipend of $40,000 paid monthly.   All directors are reimbursed ordinary and reasonable expenses incurred in exercising their responsibilities in accordance the Company’s Travel and Entertainment Expense Reimbursement policy applicable to all employees of the Company.  The non-employee directors waived their cash compensation fees in November 2008 and December 2008 and for all of fiscal 2009.

Equity-Based Compensation

Under provisions adopted by the Board of Directors, each non-employee director receives an option to purchase 100,000 shares of our common stock issued upon his first election to the Board of Directors.  These options vest monthly over three years. Stock options granted under the plan are priced at the closing market price of the Company’s stock on the day of grant, but in no case lower than $1.45 per share.

Pension and Benefits

The non-employee directors are not eligible to participate in the Company’s benefits plans, including the 401(k) plan.
