NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2015

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1 – Uncertainties and Use of Estimates

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying financial statements of 3DIcon Corporation (the “Company”) have been prepared without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's year-end audited financial statements and related footnotes included in the previously filed 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2015, and the statements of its operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014, and cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. The results of operations for interim periods may not be indicative of the results which may be realized for the full year.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions used.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenues from software license fees are accounted for in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 985-605, “Software Revenue Recognition”. The Company recognizes sales revenue when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable; and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.

 

Grant revenue is recognized when earned.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The following is a summary of recent accounting pronouncements that are relevant to the Company:

 

 In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The guidance requires an entity to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or within one year after the financial statements are available to be issued when applicable) and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. The guidance is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-15.

 

The FASB has issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This ASU supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in FASB ASC 605 - Revenue Recognition and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Codification. The standard requires that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU is effective on January 1, 2017 and should be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the ASU recognized at the date of initial application. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

 

The FASB has issued ASU No. 2014-12, Compensation - Stock Compensation (ASC Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. This ASU requires that a performance target that affects vesting, and that could be achieved after the requisite service period, be treated as a performance condition. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant date fair value of the award. This update further clarifies that compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered.. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Earlier adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position and results of operations.

 

 

Uncertainties

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Company is in the development stage and has insufficient revenue and capital commitments to fund the development of its planned product and to pay operating expenses.

 

The Company has realized a cumulative net loss of $21,563,832 for the period from inception (January 1, 2001) to March 31, 2015, and a net loss of $305,257 and $422,504 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.   

 

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern depends on the successful completion of the Company's capital raising efforts to fund the development of its planned products. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. 

 

Management plans to fund the future operations of the Company with existing cash of $2,747 grants and investor funding with new debentures.  Additionally, under the terms of the Golden State 4.75% Convertible Debenture due on December 31, 2016, Golden State is obligated to submit conversion notices in an amount such that Golden State receives 1% of the outstanding shares of the Company every calendar quarter for a period of one year. In connection with each conversion, Golden State is expected to simultaneously exercise a percentage of warrants equal to the percentage of the principal being converted.  The warrants are exercisable at $381.50 per share.  The number of warrants exercisable is subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations contained in the 4.75% Convertible Debenture (“the Beneficial Ownership Limitations”).  The Beneficial Ownership Limitations prevent Golden State from converting on the 4.75% Convertible Debenture or exercising warrants if such conversion or exercise would cause Golden State’s holdings to exceed 9.99% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock.  Subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitations and provided that Golden State is able to sell the shares under Rule 144, Golden State is required to convert $85.71 of the 4.75% Convertible Debenture and exercise 857 warrants per month.  Based upon the current stock price, the issued and outstanding shares as of March 31, 2015 and ignoring the impact of the Beneficial Ownership Limitations, the Company may receive up to $327,000 per month in funding for the duration of the debenture from Golden State as a result of warrant exercises. However, due to the Beneficial Ownership Limitations, the Company only received $32,700 in advances from Golden State during the three-month period ended March 31, 2015. Such advances are recorded within warrant exercise advances on the balance sheets when received.  

 

On July 2, 2013, the Company was awarded a $300,000 grant in the 2013 Oklahoma Applied Research Support competition sponsored by the Oklahoma Center for the Advancement of Science and Technology (“OCAST”). The grant is being used to support the development of the Company’s first Product Platform, which will be the basis for a family of products based on the Company’s CSpace® volumetric 3D display technology.

 

Joint Development Agreement with Schott Defense

 

As part of the Company’s federal funding strategy, the Company intends to effectively compete by forming interdisciplinary teams with potential strategic partners (large and small), academic and commercial laboratories, and systems integrators providing integrated data visualization solutions. The first of these partnerships was reached in March 2014 when the Company signed a Joint Development Agreement with Schott Defense, a federally focused subsidiary of Schott North America.

 

Additionally, the Company is continuing to pursue financing through private offering of debt or common stock.

 

Note 2 – Sponsored Research Agreement ("SRA") Common Stock Subject to Put Rights and Call Right

 

Since April 20, 2002, the Company has entered into a number of SRA’s with the University of Oklahoma (“OU”) as follows:

 

Phase I: “Pilot Study to Investigate Digital Holography,” April 20, 2004. The Company paid OU $14,116.

 

Phase II: “Investigation of 3-Dimensional Display Technologies,” April 15, 2005, as amended. The Company paid OU $528,843.

 

Phase III: “3-Dimensional Display Development.” The Company made partial payment to OU by issuing 121,849 post-split equivalent shares (4,264,707 pre-split shares) with a market price of $290,000 on October 14, 2008 and final payment on December 1, 2010 in the amount of $525,481 of which $40,481 was in cash and 1,685,714 post-split equivalent shares (59,000,000 pre-split) of Company stock (the “Shares”). The Shares are subject to an OU ‘put’ right and a 3Dicon ‘call’ right.

 

OU “Put” Rights on the Shares 

 

First “put” period: December 1, 2012 to November 30, 2013. If the shares (held plus previously sold) are valued at less than $100,000 then OU can “put” one-tenth of the shares for $50,000 plus accrued interest retro-active to December 1, 2012 less the value of sold shares. OU currently holds 1,807,563 post-split shares with a market value of less than $100,000. Under the terms of put rights, the put rights could be exercised by OU and the Company would be obligated to pay OU $50,000.

  

 

Second “put” period: December 1, 2013 to November 30, 2014. If the shares (held & previously sold) are valued at less than $970,000 than OU can “put” the remaining shares for $485,000 plus accrued interest retro-active to December 1, 2012 less the value of shares previously sold or redeemed during the first “put.”

 

The “put” periods expired without OU taking any action. The shares have therefore been restored to the equity section of the Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2014 as the shares are no longer subject to the put and call options.

 

3DIcon “Call” rights on the Shares

 

Commencing December 1, 2012, the Company shall have the right to “call” the shares for an amount equal to $970,000 less the amount (if any) of prior shares by OU including amounts “put” to 3DIcon.

 

The SRA also amended the previously existing agreements between the Company and OU such that all intellectual property, including all inventions and or discoveries, patentable or un-patentable, developed before July 28, 2008 by OU under the SRA is owned by OU. All intellectual property, including all inventions and/or discoveries, patentable or un-patentable, developed jointly by the Company and OU at any time is jointly owned by the Company and OU. Finally, all intellectual property developed by the Company after July 28, 2008, including all inventions and or discoveries, patentable or un-patentable, is owned by the Company.

 

Note 3 – OCAST Grant

 

In July 2013, the Company was awarded a two year grant from OCAST. This is the second $300,000 grant received from OCAST. The first grant was completed in August 2012. This matching grant is for a total of $300,000 and commenced September 1, 2013.  The Company received $5,122 in funding during the three-month period ended March 31, 2015. The funds are being used to support the development of the Company’s first Product Platform, which will be the basis for a family of products based on the Company’s CSpace® volumetric 3D display technology.

10% Convertible Debentures to Directors due June 30, 2015

 

On June 24, 2013, the Company issued to Victor Keen and Martin Keating, Directors of the Company, (“Directors”) 10% convertible debentures in a principal amount of $15,000 each, due June 26, 2014 and subsequently extended to June 30, 2015. The Directors may elect to convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the debentures at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. Provided that the debentures are paid in full on or before the maturity date, no interest shall accrue on the unpaid balance of the principal amount. In the event that the debentures are not paid in full on or before the maturity date, interest shall accrue on the unpaid outstanding balance of the principal amount of the debentures from June 26, 2013, until paid, at the fixed rate of ten percent (10%) per annum.

 

10% Convertible Debenture due Newton, O'Connor, Turner & Ketchum, due June 30, 2015

 

On December 20, 2012, the Company issued to Newton, O'Connor, Turner & Ketchum (“NOTK”) a 10% convertible debenture in a principal amount of $29,007, initially due September 30, 2013 and extended to June 30, 2015.  NOTK may elect to convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the debenture at an exercise price of $0.02534 per share. The Company was indebted to NOTK for legal services performed for the Company and reimbursement of expenses in rendition of those services for the period ended December 31, 2012. The debenture was issued in settlement of the indebtedness. 

 

 

4.75% Convertible Debenture due December 31, 2016

 

On November 3, 2006, the Company issued to Golden State a 4.75% convertible debenture in a principal amount of $100,000, due December 31, 2014, subsequently extended to December 31, 2016 and warrants to buy 28,571 shares of the common stock at an exercise price of $381.50 per share. In connection with each conversion, Golden State is expected to simultaneously exercise a percentage of warrants equal to the percentage of the principal being converted.  During 2015, Golden State converted $400 of the $100,000 debenture into 18,727,884 shares of common stock, exercised warrants to purchase 114 shares of common stock at $381.50 per share based on the formula in the convertible debenture. Additionally Golden State advanced $32,700 against future exercises of warrants of which $43,545 was applied to the exercise of warrants leaving $10,746 of unapplied advances at March 31, 2015. The conversion price for the 4.75% $100,000 convertible debenture is the lesser of (i)$140 or (ii) 80% of the average of the five lowest volume weighted average prices during the twenty (20) trading days prior to the conversion. If Golden State elects to convert a portion of the debenture and, on the day that the election is made, the volume weighted average pre-split price is below $0.70, the Company shall have the right to prepay that portion of the debenture that Golden State elected to convert, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, at 135% of such amount.

 

5% Convertible Bridge Notes

 

On June 6, 2012 and August 1, 2012, the Company issued and sold convertible promissory notes (the “5% Notes") in aggregate principal amount of $415,000 to JMJ Financial (“JMJ”).  The 5% Notes includes a $40,000 original issue discount (the “OID”) that will be prorated based on the advances actually paid to the Company. During 2015, JMJ earned $13,504 OID and accrued interest.  During 2015, JMJ converted $48,384 of the 5% Notes into 25,000,000 shares of common stock at an average of $0.002 per share based on the formula in the 5% Notes. In addition to the OID, the 5% Notes provides for a one-time interest charge of 5% to be applied to the principal sum advanced.  Pursuant to the terms of 5% Notes, JMJ may, at its election, convert all or a part of the $275,000 note and the $140,000 note into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion rate equal to the lesser of (i) $0.15 and $0.35, respectively or (ii) 70% of the lowest trade price during the twenty-five trading days prior to JMJ’s election to convert. If the Company repays the 5% Notes on or before ninety days from the date it was issued, the interest rate will be zero percent. If the Company does not repay the 5% Notes on or before ninety days from the date it was issued, a one-time interest charge of 5% shall be applied to the principal. The Company did not repay the 5% Notes within the ninety day period. The principal of the 5% Notes is due one year from the date of each of the principal amounts advanced.      

 

10% Convertible Debenture due August 2015

 

On August 15, 2014, the Company issued and sold to an accredited investor a Convertible Debenture (the “10% Debenture”) in the principal amount of $150,000. The 10% Debenture included a 3% original issue discount. Accordingly, the Company received $145,500 gross proceeds, from which the Company paid legal and fees of $5,000. During 2015, the holder of the 10% Debenture, converted $75,000 of the 10% Debenture into 62,358,608 shares of common stock at an average of $0.0001 per share based on the formula in the 5% Notes. The 10% Debenture has a maturity date of August 15, 2015 and carries a 10% interest rate. Subject to a 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation, the holder of the 10% Debenture may, at any time, elect to convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the 10% Debenture into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price equal Sixty Five Percent (65%) of the lowest traded VWAP, determined on the then current trading market for the Company’s common stock, for 15 trading days prior to conversion.

 

10% Convertible Bridge Note

 

On September 11, 2012, the Company issued and sold a Convertible Bridge Note (the “Bridge Note”) in the principal amount of $60,000 to Victor Keen, a director of the Company.  The sale of the Bridge Note included a $10,000 original issue discount. Accordingly, the Company received $50,000 gross proceeds. The Bridge Note matured in 90 days from the date of issuance and, other than the original issue discount, the Bridge Note does not carry interest. However, in the event the Bridge Note is not paid on maturity, all past due amounts will accrue interest at 15% per annum. Upon maturity of the Bridge Note, the holder of the Bridge Note may elect to convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Bridge Note into (i) securities sold pursuant to an effective registration statement at the applicable offering price; or (ii) shares of common stock at a conversion price equal to the lesser of 100% of the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP), as reported for the 5 trading days prior to (a) the date of issuance of the Bridge Note, (b) the maturity date of the Bridge Note, or (c) the first closing date of the securities sold pursuant an effective registration statement.

Note 5 – Common Stock and Paid-In Capital

 

Downgraded from the OTCQB to the OTC Pink

 

On September 2, 2014, the Company received notification from OTC Markets that because the Company’s common stock, which trades under the symbol TDCP, has not had a minimum closing bid price of $.01 during the last thirty days; it has been downgraded from the OTCQB to the OTC Pink, effective September 3, 2014. On March 26, 2014, OTC Markets had announced a series of rule changes to take place between May 1, 2014 and April 1, 2015. These rules set forth new qualifications and fees for quotation of securities on the various tiers of OTC Markets. One of such changes requires that a company’s stock have a minimum closing bid price of $.01 for at least one day in any consecutive thirty day period to continue being quoted on the OTCQB.

 

The Company has the option of filing an application for reinstatement to have its common stock quoted on the OTCQB. The Company’s common stock could be reinstated to the OTCQB commencing at such time as it has had a minimum closing bid price of $.01 for any consecutive 30 day period. The downgrading of the Company’s common stock from the OTCQB to the OCT Pink will have no effect on the common stock’s ability to trade or its DWAC (method of electronic transfer of shares) eligibility.

 

Warrants Issued

 

 As of March 31, 2015, NOTK has warrants outstanding to purchase 125,098 shares of common stock at a price of $3.15 per share that expire on September 30, 2016 and, warrants to purchase 96,024 shares of common stock at a price of $3.15 per share that expire on June 1, 2015.  Golden State has warrants outstanding to purchase 18,595 shares of common stock at a price of $381.50 per share which expires December 31, 2016. Global Capital has warrants outstanding to purchase 300,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.0032 per shares which expire on March 31, 2019.  Additionally from the preferred stock issuance, there are 9,750,000 warrants outstanding to purchase common shares at $0.0055 per share which expire December 31, 2017 and 9,500,000 warrants outstanding that were issued to Victor Keen, the CEO and Director of the Company, which expire on January 17, 2018.

Private Placement

 

On December 9, 2013 and December 11, 2013 the Company closed on $195,000 in a private placement (the “Private Placement”) contemplated by a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), dated December 9, 2013, pursuant to which the Company sold 195,000 Units (as defined below) to accredited investors (each, an “Investor” and collectively, the “Investors”), one of whom was Victor Keen, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and a member of the board of directors of the Company. Accordingly, at the closings, the Company issued (i) 195,000 shares of its newly designated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred”), and (ii) warrants (“Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 9,750,000 shares of Common Stock for gross proceed of $195,000.

 

On January 23, 2014, the Company sold to Victor Keen, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, 190,000 Units for a purchase price of $190,000, as part of the Private Placement (as defined therein) disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 13, 2013. Pursuant to such Private Placement, the Company has now received aggregate proceeds equal to $385,000. Such Private Placement is now closed.

 

 

Under the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company sold units (“Units”) consisting of: (i) one share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and (ii) Warrants to purchase fifty (50) shares of Common Stock. The purchase price of each Unit was $1.00. The total purchase price of the securities sold in the Private Placement was $385,000.

 

The terms of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Warrants are as follows:

 

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

 

A total of 500,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) have been authorized for issuance under the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitation of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of 3DIcon Corporation (the “Certificate of Designation”), which Certificate of Designation was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Oklahoma on December 11, 2013. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock have a par value of $0.0002 per share (the “Stated Value”), and shall receive a dividend of 6% of their Stated Value per annum. Under the Certificate of Designation, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock have the following rights, preferences and privileges:

 

The Series A Preferred Stock may, at the option of the Investor, be converted at any time after the first anniversary of the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock or from time to time thereafter into 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock that Such Investor is entitled to in proportion to the 500,000 shares of Series A Preferred so designated in the Certificate of Designation. 

 

The Series A Preferred Stock will automatically be converted into Common Stock anytime the 5 day average VWAP of the Company’s Common Stock prior to such conversion is equal to $0.05 or more. Such mandatory conversion would be converted by the same method described above for discretionary conversions.

 

Except as otherwise required by law, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall not have voting rights or powers.

 

In the event of any (i) liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, or ii) sale, merger, consolidation, reorganization or other transaction that results in a change of control of the Company, each holder of a share of Series A Preferred shall be entitled to receive, subject to prior preferences and other rights of any class or series of stock of the Company senior to the Series A Preferred, but prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets or surplus funds of the Company to holders of Common Stock, or any other class or series of stock of the Company junior to the Series A Preferred, an amount equal to the Stated Value plus accrued and unpaid dividends (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations or splits with respect to such shares) (the “Preference Amount”). After such payment has been made to the holders of Series A Preferred of the full Preference Amount to which such holders shall be entitled, the remaining net assets of the Company available for distribution, if any, shall be distributed pro rata among the holders of Common Stock. In the event the funds or assets legally available for distribution to the holders of Series A Preferred are insufficient to pay the Preference Amount, then all funds or assets available for distribution to the holders of capital stock shall be paid to the holders of Series A Preferred pro rata based on the full Preference Amount to which they are entitled.

 

The Company may not declare, pay or set aside any dividends on shares of any class or series of capital stock of the Company (other than dividends on shares of Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock) unless the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall first receive, or simultaneously receive, a dividend on each outstanding share of Series A Preferred in an amount equal to the dividend per share that such holders would have received had they converted their shares of Series A Preferred into shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the record date for the declaration of the Common Stock dividend in an amount equal to the average VWAP during the 5 trading days prior to the date such dividend is due. 

 

Warrants

 

Each Unit under the Securities Purchase Agreement consists of Warrants entitling the Investor to purchase fifty (50) shares of Common Stock for each share of Series A Preferred purchased by such Investor in the Private Placement, at an initial exercise price per share of $0.0055. The exercise price and number of shares of Common Stock issuable under the Warrants are subject to adjustments for stock dividends, splits, combinations and similar events. On or after the first anniversary of the issuance of the Warrants and prior to close of business on fourth anniversary of the issuance of the Warrants and may be exercised at any time upon the election of the holder, provided however, that an Investor may at any given time convert only up to that number of shares of Common Stock so that, upon conversion, the aggregate beneficial ownership of the Company’s Common Stock (calculated pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of such Investor and all persons affiliated with such Investor, is not more than 4.99% of the Company’s Common Stock then outstanding (subject to adjustment up to 9.99% at the Investor’s discretion upon 61 days’ prior notice).

 

The $27,000 estimated fair value of warrants for common stock issued in 2013 was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The expected dividend yield of $0 is based on the average annual dividend yield at the date issued. Expected volatility of 178% is based on the historical volatility of the stock. The risk-free interest rate of 1.38% is based on the U.S. Treasury Constant Maturity rates as of the issue date. The expected life of the warrants of four years is based on historical exercise behavior and expected future experience.

 

 

The $34,926 estimated fair value of warrants for common stock issued in 2014 was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The expected dividend yield of $0 is based on the average annual dividend yield at the date issued. Expected volatility of 180% is based on the historical volatility of the stock. The risk-free interest rate of 1.64% is based on the U.S. Treasury Constant Maturity rates as of the issue date. The expected life of the warrants of four years is based on historical exercise behavior and expected future experience.

Plan of Operation

 

Background:

 

3DIcon Corporation (“3DIcon,” “the Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) was incorporated on August 11, 1995, under the laws of the State of Oklahoma as First Keating Corporation. Our articles of incorporation were amended August 1, 2003 to change the name to 3DIcon Corporation. The initial focus of First Keating Corporation was to market and distribute books written by its founder, Martin Keating. During 2001, First Keating Corporation began to focus on the development of 360-degree holographic technology. The effective date of this transition was January 1, 2001. We accounted for this transition as reorganization and accordingly, restated its capital accounts as of January 1, 2001. At the inception on January 1, 2001, our primary activity was the raising of capital in order to pursue its goal of becoming a significant participant in the formation and commercialization of interactive, optical holography for the communications and entertainment industries.

 

In April 2004, we engaged the University of Oklahoma (the “University” or “OU”) to conduct a pilot study to determine the opportunity and feasibility for the creation of volumetric three dimensional display systems.

 

On July 15, 2005, we entered into a Sponsored Research Agreement (“SRA”) with the University, which expired on January 14, 2007. Under this agreement, the University conducted a research project entitled "Investigation of 3-Dimensional Display Technologies".

 

On February 23, 2007, we entered into an SRA with the University, which expired on March 31, 2010. Under this agreement, the University conducted a research project entitled "3-Dimensional Display Development".

 

In the fourth quarter of 2007 we announced the release of our first product, "Pixel Precision". On February 12, 2009, version 2.0 of Pixel Precision was released to expand capabilities and provide new compatibility with Texas Instrument's newly released DLP® Discovery 4000 kits.  This is a companion software application to the DMD Discovery line of products manufactured by Texas Instruments®.

 

 

In July 2013, the Company won first place in the Oklahoma Center for the Advancement of Science and Technology’s Oklahoma Applied Research Support competition, securing $300,000 in grant funding over two years. This matching grant had a start date of September 1, 2013.  We successfully completed year 1 and are part way through year 2. The grant will be completed by December 2015. The Company is using the funds provided by the grant to support the development of its First Product Platform, which will be the basis of a family of products leveraging the Company’s CSpace® volumetric 3D display technology. 

 

Overview of Business

 

We are a development stage company. Our mission is to pursue, develop and market full-color volumetric 3D technology. Through a SRA with the University of Oklahoma, we have obtained the exclusive worldwide marketing rights to certain 3D display technologies under development by the University. The developments to date have resulted in the University filing seven provisional patents; six of the seven provisional patents have been combined and converted to four utility patents.

 

At this time, we do not own any intellectual property rights in these technologies, and, apart from the SRA with the University, have no contracts or agreements pending to acquire such rights or any other interest in such rights. We plan to market the technology and the intellectual property developed by the University and our staff by targeting various industries, such as retail, manufacturing, entertainment, medical, healthcare, transportation, homeland security and the military. On April 6, 2009, we filed a provisional patent on an emissive two-dimensional screen that is controlled and driven by a standard digital light projector or other optical input source. This provisional patent is called "Flexible/Inflexible Front/Back Projection screen or display" and owned solely by 3DIcon Corporation.   Through the current agreement with the University of Oklahoma, the University filed a continuation patent application on November 19, 2010, called “3D Light Surface Display”.  This application provides additional protections of our CSpace technology. 

 

Since March of 2012, the Company has been evaluating a number of second-generation, glasses-free flat screen 3D display technologies and the companies that are developing these technologies with the possibility of an acquisition of such a company in mind.  Our goal was to identify a new technology that could deliver significantly better performance (3D impact and image quality) than current large area multiple-viewer glasses-free 3D flat screen displays without compromising resolution and brightness, as do current displays.  The ideal company would also have a great technical team, a broad patent portfolio, and a credible technology roadmap to ensure that these competitive advantages are sustainable into the future. As a result of the above evaluation process, the Company previously entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent to acquire Dimension Technologies, Inc. (DTI) www.dti3d.com located in Rochester, NY. However, that Letter of Intent has since expired. Notwithstanding the expiration of the Letter of Intent, the Company’s interest in a potential acquisition of a small 3D flat screen display company remains. Currently, we do not have any agreements in place that would allow entry into the flat screen segment of the glasses-free 3D display industry or digital signage industry and no assurances can be made that such an agreement will ever be consummated.  The Company is not actively seeking such acquisitions in the glasses-free 3D flat screen display segment at this time.

 

Recent Developments

 

In April 2015, we announced the departure of Dr. Hakki Refai, our former technology officer who lead the development of our CSpace technology.  Dr. Refai's responsibilities were assumed by Doug Freitag, our Vice President of Technology and Business Development since January 2015, who has over 25 years of experience in advanced materials and over 20 years of federal grant and contract expertise.  Freitag now oversees the development of our technology and will continue to oversee key personnel and strategic partnerships as we work to bring our 3D volumetric display technology to market.

 

Intellectual Property History, Status & Rights

 

On May 26, 2009, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) approved the pending patent called "Volumetric Liquid Crystal Display" for rendering a three-dimensional image and converted it to US patent No. 7,537,345. On July 16, 2013, USPTO approved the pending patent called “Computer System with Digital Micromirror Device,” and issued US patent No. 8,487,865.

 

CSpace Patents are as follow: On December 28, 2010, USPTO approved the pending patent called “Light Surface Display for Rendering a Three-Dimensional Image,” and issued the United States Patent No. 7,858,913.  On August 21, 2012, the USPTO approved a continuation patent called “3D Volumetric Display” and issued the US Patent No. 8,247,755. On December 13, 2011, USPTO approved a continuation patent called “3D Light Surface Display,” and issued the US Patent No. 8,075,139. On July 31, 2013, 3DIcon filed provisional patent called “Ultra High-Resolution Volumetric Three-Dimensional Display,” (US patent application serial No. 61859145).

 

Through a SRA with the University, we have obtained the exclusive worldwide marketing rights to certain 3D display technologies under development by the University. The development to date has resulted in the University filing eight provisional patents; five of the eight provisional patents have been combined and converted to five utility US patents, one pending European patent and one pending Japanese patent.

The second two year matching grant, for a total of $300,000 had a start date of September 1, 2013. We earned $5,122 and $28,748 from OCAST during the three month periods ending March 31, 2015 and 2014 respectively.

 

In January 2008 we launched our first software product Pixel Precision. We appointed Digital Light Innovations for the sales and distribution of this product in March 2008. We had $-0- and $10,000 income from the sales of Pixel Precision for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014, respectively.

 

We expect sales of Pixel Precision to the installed and active user base of the earlier D1100 and D3000 systems in the near term and as companion product sales to D4000 systems. We expect that the revenue from this product to contribute to the operating expenses (general and administrative, research and development, interest) but do not expect the revenue generated in 2015 to cover the operating expenses.

 

Research and Development Expenses

 

The research and development expenses were $42,909 for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to $60,336 for the three months ended March 31, 2014.  The net decrease was a result of the decrease in cost for engaging outside research and development consultants of approximately $12,000, and a decrease in options issued in 2014 of $6,000.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

Our general and administrative expenses were $258,846 for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to $378,109 for the three months ended March 31, 2014.  The decrease is due primarily to a decrease in fees paid to the public relations firm of $23,000, fees paid in settlement of debt under Section 3(a) (10) of the Securities Act of 1933 of $68,000, a decrease in filing fees of $3,000, a decrease of $13,000 of legal fees paid, and a decrease of $13,000 in accounting and consulting fees.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $8,624 as compared to $22,807 for the three months ended March 31, 2014.  The decrease was a result of the amount of OID amortized in 2015.

 

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Management remains focused on controlling cash expenses. We recognize our limited cash resources and plan our expenses accordingly. We intend to leverage stock-for-services wherever possible. The operating budget consists of the following expenses:

 

	·	Research and development expenses pursuant to our SRA with the University. This includes development of an initial demonstrable prototype and a second prototype for static volume technology.
	·	Acceleration of research and development through increased research personnel as well as other research agencies.
	·	General and administrative expenses: salaries, insurance, investor related expenses, rent, travel, website, etc.
	·	Hiring executive officers for technology, operations and finance.
	·	Development, support and operational costs related to Pixel Precision software.
	·	Professional fees for accounting and audit; legal services for securities and financing; patent research and protection.

 

Our independent registered public accountants, in their audit report accompanying our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014, expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern due to our status as a development stage organization with insufficient revenues to fund development and operating expenses.

 

 

We had net cash of $2,747at March 31, 2015.

 

We had negative working capital of $1,056,443 at March 31, 2015.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we used $163,438 of cash for operating activities, a decrease of $55,070 or 25% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014. The decrease in the use of cash for operating activities was a result of the increase in accounts payable of $15,739, an increase of $22,500 in stock issued for services, an increase in amortization of debt cost of $35,087, an increase in accounts receivable of $5,122, a decrease in prepaid expense of $16,271 and a decrease in the net loss of $117,247.

 

There was no cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2015 or for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

 

Cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $131,700, a decrease of $25,485 or 16% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014.  The net decrease was the result of the increase warrant exercise advances from Golden State under the terms of our 4.75% convertible debenture of $215,165, an increase of $74,000 in debentures issued from 2014 and the cash payment of approximately $116,000 on the 3 (a) (10) settlement agreement.

 

We expect to fund the ongoing operations through the existing financing in place (see below); through raising additional funds as permitted by the terms of Golden State financing as well as reducing our monthly expenses.

 

Our ability to fund the operations of the Company is highly dependent on the underlying stock price of the Company.

 

Director Debenture

 

On June 24, 2013, the Company issued to Victor Keen and Martin Keating, Directors of the Company, (“Directors”) 10% convertible debentures in a principal amount of $15,000 each, due June 26, 2014 and subsequently extended to June 30, 2015. The Directors may elect to convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the debentures at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. Provided that the debentures are paid in full on or before the maturity date, no interest shall accrue on the unpaid balance of the principal amount. In the event that the debentures are not paid in full on or before the maturity date, interest shall accrue on the unpaid outstanding balance of the principal amount of the debentures from June 26, 2013, until paid, at the fixed rate of ten percent (10%) per annum.

5% Convertible Bridge Notes

 

On June 6, 2012 and August 1, 2012, the Company issued and sold convertible promissory notes (the “5% Notes") in aggregate principal amount of $415,000 to JMJ Financial (“JMJ”).  The 5% Notes includes a $40,000 original issue discount (the “OID”) that will be prorated based on the advances actually paid to the Company. During 2015, JMJ earned $13,504 OID and accrued interest.  During 2015, JMJ converted $48,384 of the 5% Notes into 25,000,000 shares of common stock at an average of $0.002 per share based on the formula in the 5% Notes. In addition to the OID, the 5% Notes provides for a one-time interest charge of 5% to be applied to the principal sum advanced.  Pursuant to the terms of 5% Notes, JMJ may, at its election, convert all or a part of the $275,000 note and the $140,000 note into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion rate equal to the lesser of (i) $0.15 and $0.35, respectively or (ii) 70% of the lowest trade price during the twenty-five trading days prior to JMJ’s election to convert. If the Company repays the 5% Notes on or before ninety days from the date it was issued, the interest rate will be zero percent. If the Company does not repay the 5% Notes on or before ninety days from the date it was issued, a one-time interest charge of 5% shall be applied to the principal. The Company did not repay the 5% Notes within the ninety day period. The principal of the 5% Notes is due one year from the date of each of the principal amounts advanced. 

 

The 5% Notes were subject to a Mandatory Registration Agreement (the “Registration Agreement”) whereby no later than August 31, 2012, the Company agreed to file, at its own expense, an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the S-1 Registration Statement (the “Registration Statement”) the Company filed with the SEC on July 3, 2012, to include in such Amendment 4,750,000 shares of common stock issuable under the 5% Notes. The Company agreed, thereafter, to use its best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective as soon as possible after such filing but in no event later than one hundred and twenty (120) days from the date of the Registration Agreement. Since the Company failed to get the Registration Statement declared effective within the 120 days of the date of the Registration Agreement, a penalty/liquidated damages of $25,000 was added to the balance of the 5% Notes.

 

 

10% Convertible Bridge Note to Director

 

On September 11, 2012, the Company issued and sold to Victor F. Keen, a Director and an accredited investor a Convertible Bridge Note (the “Keen Bridge Note”) in the principal amount of $60,000. The sale of the Keen Bridge Notes in the principal of $60,000 included a $10,000 OID. Accordingly, the Company received $50,000 gross proceeds. The Keen Bridge Note matured 90 days from the date of issuance and, other than the OID, the Keen Bridge Note does not carry interest. However, in the event the Keen Bridge Note is not paid on maturity, all past due amounts will accrue interest at 15% per annum. Upon maturity of the Keen Bridge Note, the holders of the Keen Bridge Note may elect to convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Keen Bridge Note into (i) securities sold pursuant to an effective registration statement at the applicable offering price; or (ii) shares of common stock at a conversion price equal to the lesser of 100% of the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP), as reported for the 5 trading days prior to (a) the date of issuance of the Keen Bridge Note, (b) the maturity date of the Keen Bridge Note, or (c) the first closing date of the securities sold pursuant an effective registration statement.

 

On March 16, 2015, the Company entered into a Fifth Amendment agreement (the “Fifth Keen Amendment”) with Keen to amend the Keen Bridge note. Pursuant to the Fifth Keen Amendment, Keen agreed to extend the maturity of the Note from December 31, 2014 to June 30, 2015 and to waive, if any, existing or prior defaults under the Keen Bridge Note or the Keen SPA.

 

15% Convertible Bridge Notes due 2014

 

On October 1, 2013 (the “Date of Issuance”), the Company issued and sold to an accredited investor a Senior Convertible Note (the “Senior Note”) in the principal amount of $205,000 and a warrant to purchase 300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price equal to 110% of the closing bid price on September 30, 2013 (the “October 2013 Warrant”). The Senior Note included a $30,750 OID. Accordingly, the Company received $174,250 gross proceeds from which the Company paid legal and documentation fees of $22,500 and placement agent fees of $15,682.

 

The Senior Note matured on July 1, 2014 and did not carry interest. However, in the event the Senior Note was not paid on maturity, all past due amounts would accrue interest at 15% per annum. The Senior Note was paid on maturity and interest was not incurred. At any time subsequent to six months following the Date of Issuance, the Senior Note holder may elect to convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Senior Note into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price equal to the lesser of 100% of the VWAP, as reported for the 5 trading days prior to the Date of Issuance or 80% of the average VWAP during the 5 days prior to the date the holder delivers a conversion notice to the Company. During 2014, the holder of the $205,000 note converted $180,000 of the note into 83,705,721 common shares at an average price of $0.0021 per share under the terms of the debenture agreement. The remaining $25,000 balance of the note was paid in cash to retire the note.

 

The estimated fair value of the warrants for common stock issued of $2,130 was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The expected dividend yield of zero is based on the average annual dividend yield as of the issue date. Expected volatility of 173.64% is based on the historical volatility of our stock. The risk-free interest rate of 1.39% is based on the U.S. Treasury Constant Maturity rate for five years as of the issue date. The expected life of five years of the warrant is based on historical exercise behavior and expected future experience.

 

The October 2013 Warrant is exercisable at any time on or after March 31, 2014 and on or prior to the close of business on March 31, 2019. At the election of the October 2013 Warrant holder, the October 2013 Warrant may be exercised using a cashless exercise method.

 

Effective August 15, 2014, the Company entered into a Securities Settlement Agreement (the “SSA”) with an accredited investor (the “Investor”) to whom the $205,000 Senior Convertible Note was assigned. Pursuant to the SSA, the Investor agreed to extend the maturity of the $205,000 principal owed (the “Debt”) under the Senior Note until August 15, 2015 and the Company agreed, among other things, to (i) pay 10% interest on the Debt; (ii) pay 125% of principal in the event the Company elects to prepay any portion of the Debt; (iii) allow the Investor to convert the Debt, in whole or in part, into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to 58% percent of the lowest traded VWAP, determined on the then current trading market for the Company’s common stock, for the 15 trading days prior to conversion.

 

10% Convertible Debenture due August 2015

 

On August 15, 2014, the Company issued and sold to an accredited investor a Convertible Debenture (the “10% Debenture”) in the principal amount of $150,000. The 10% Debenture included a 3% OID. Accordingly, the Company received $145,500 gross proceeds, from which the Company paid legal and fees of $5,000. The 10% Debenture has a maturity date of August 15, 2015 and carries a 10% interest rate. Subject to a 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation, the holder of the 10% Debenture may, at any time, elect to convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the 10% Debenture into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price equal Sixty Five Percent (65%) of the lowest traded VWAP, determined on the then current trading market for the Company’s common stock, for 15 trading days prior to conversion.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

The Company does not engage in any off balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, and results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.

 

Significant Accounting Policies

 

Research and Development Costs

 

The Company expenses all research and development costs as incurred. Until we have developed a commercial product, all costs incurred in connection with the SRA with the University, as well as all other research and development costs incurred, will be expensed as incurred. After a commercial product has been developed, we will report costs incurred in producing products for sale as assets, but we will continue to expense costs incurred for further product research and development activities.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

Since its inception 3DIcon has used its common stock or warrants to purchase its common stock as a means of compensating our employees and consultants. Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") guidance on accounting for share based payments requires us to estimate the value of securities used for compensation and to charge such amounts to expense over the periods benefited.

 

The estimated fair value at date of grant of options for our common stock is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, as follows:  

 

The expected dividend yield is based on the average annual dividend yield as of the grant date. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of our stock. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury Constant Maturity rates as of the grant date. The expected life of the option is based on historical exercise behavior and expected future experience.
