PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS

$10,000,000
5,714,286 Shares of Common Stock
Warrants to Purchase up to 1,428,571 Shares of Common Stock

        We are selling 5,714,286 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase up to 1,428,571 shares of our common stock (and the shares of common stock issuable from time to time upon exercise of these warrants). Each share of common stock is being sold together in a fixed combination with a warrant to purchase one quarter share of common stock at an initial exercise price of $        per whole share of common stock for a term of five years. The fixed combination is being sold at a public offering price of $            per share and associated warrant. The shares of common stock and warrants are immediately separate and will be issued separately but can only be purchased together in this offering.

        Our common stock is traded on the NYSE American under the symbol "EMAN." On January 16, 2018, the last reported sale price of our common stock on the NYSE American was $1.75 per share. The public offering price per fixed combination will be determined between us and the underwriters at the time of pricing, and may be at a discount to the then current market price. There is no established public trading market for the warrants, and we do not expect a market to develop. In addition, we do not intend to apply for listing of the warrants on any national securities exchange or other nationally recognized trading system.

RISK FACTORS

        You should carefully consider the following risk factors and the other information included herein as well as the information included in other reports and filings made with the SEC before investing in our common stock. The following factors, as well as other factors affecting our operating results and financial condition, could cause our actual future results and financial condition to differ materially from those projected. The trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks, should they materialize, and you may lose part or all of your investment.

Risks Related To Our Financial Position

We have had losses in the past and may incur losses in the future.

        Our accumulated deficit is approximately $226 million as of September 30, 2017. We can give no assurances that we will be profitable in the future. We cannot assure you that if we become profitable that we will be able to sustain profitability or that we will not continue to incur operating losses in the future.

If we are unable to meet our obligations as they become due over the next twelve months, we may not be able to continue our current operations.

        Our ability to continue current operations and to execute on our plans is dependent on our ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations, raise additional capital or refinance our indebtedness to meet our obligations. If adequate funds are not available to us on a timely basis, or at all, we may have to reduce current operations and delay capital expenditures in order to conserve cash.

        Based on our current operating plan, we anticipate that, given our current working capital levels, our current financial projections and our ability to borrow under our working capital facility, we will be able to meet our financial obligations as they become due over the next twelve months. We have no additional committed external sources of funds and additional financing may not be available when we need it or may not be available on terms that are favorable to us. In addition, we may seek additional capital due to favorable market conditions or strategic considerations even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans.

        We cannot provide assurance that we would be able to take any of these actions or that any effort to sell additional equity securities or borrow additional funds would be successful or would generate sufficient funds to meet our financial obligations, allow us to continue current operations or that these actions would be permitted under the terms of our existing or future debt agreements. If additional financing is not available when required or is not available on acceptable terms, we may need to delay, modify or abandon our current operations and we may be unable to take advantage of business opportunities or respond to competitive pressures which would likely have a material adverse effect on our product offerings, revenue, results of operations and financial condition.

Our operating results have significant fluctuations.

        In addition to the variability resulting from the short-term nature of commitments from our customers, other factors contribute to significant periodic quarterly fluctuations in results of operations. These factors include, but are not limited to, the following:

•

the receipt and timing of orders and the timing of delivery of orders;



•

the inability to adjust expense levels or delays in adjusting expense levels, in either case in response to lower than expected revenues or gross margins;



•

the volume of orders relative to our manufacturing capacity;

11

---

Table of Contents

•

product introductions and market acceptance of new products or new generations of products;



•

changes in cost and availability of labor and components;



•

product mix;



•

variation in operating expenses; regulatory requirements and changes in duties and tariffs;



•

pricing and availability of competitive products and services; and



•

changes, whether or not anticipated, in economic conditions.

        Accordingly, the results of any past periods should not be relied upon as an indication of our future performance.

We may incur substantial indebtedness which could adversely affect our business and limit our ability to plan for or respond to changes in our business.

        Our ability to make payments on our debt obligations and to fund planned capital expenditures depends on our ability to generate cash from our future operations. This, to a certain extent, is subject to financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control. In addition, if we cannot service our indebtedness, we may have to take actions such as selling assets, seeking additional equity or reducing or delaying capital expenditures, strategic acquisitions, investments and alliances, any of which could impede the implementation of our business strategy, prevent us from entering into transactions that would otherwise benefit our business and/or negatively affect our financial condition and results of operations. We may not be able to refinance our indebtedness or take such other actions, if necessary, on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.

Our ABL Facility contains various covenants limiting the discretion of our management in operating our business, which could prevent us from capitalizing on business opportunities and taking some corporate actions.

        On December 21, 2016 we entered into an asset-based lending agreement with Rosenthal & Rosenthal, Inc., which is referred to herein as the ABL Facility. The ABL Facility imposes operating and financial restrictions on us. These restrictions will limit or restrict, among other things, our ability to:

•

incur additional indebtedness;



•

make restricted payments (including paying dividends on, redeeming, repurchasing or retiring our capital stock);



•

make investments;



•

create liens;



•

sell assets;



•

engage in transactions with affiliates; and



•

consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of our assets.

        In addition, the ABL Facility also requires us to maintain compliance with certain financial covenants. These covenants are subject to important exceptions and qualifications. Our ability to comply with these covenants may be affected by events beyond our control, including those described in this "Risk Factors" section. A breach of any of the covenants contained in the ABL Facility could result in an event of default under one or more of the documents governing such obligations which would allow the lenders under the ABL Facility to declare all borrowing outstanding to be due and payable. In the event of an acceleration of payment obligations, we would likely be unable to pay our

12

---

Table of Contents

outstanding indebtedness with our cash and cash equivalents then on hand. We could be required to seek alternative sources of funding, which may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, or terms as favorable as our current agreement or at all. If we are unable to provide alternative means of financing our operations, we may be required to reduce our operations or take other actions that are inconsistent with our current business practices or strategy.

Our debt is variable rate debt, and increases in interest rates could adversely affect us by causing us to incur higher interest costs with respect to such variable rate debt.

        The ABL Facility subjects us to interest rate risk. The rate at which we pay interest on amounts borrowed under such facility fluctuates with changes in interest rates. Accordingly, with respect to any amounts from time to time outstanding under the ABL Facility, we are and will be exposed to changes in interest rates. If we are unable to adequately manage our debt structure in response to changes in the market, our interest expense could increase, which would negatively affect our financial condition and results of operations. The outstanding borrowings under the ABL Facility as of September 30, 2017 were $0.9 million.

Risks Related To Manufacturing

The manufacture of active matrix OLED microdisplays encompasses several complex processes resulting in irregular production schedules, including production delays and interruptions, which could adversely affect our operating results.

        Our product technology and manufacturing processes are evolving which can result in production challenges and difficulties. We cannot assure you that we will be able to produce our products in sufficient quantity and quality to maintain existing customers and attract new customers. In addition, we cannot assure you that we will not experience manufacturing problems which could result in delays in delivery of orders or product introductions.

Several steps of our production processes are dependent upon certain critical machines and tools which could result in delivery interruptions and foregone revenues.

        We currently have little equipment redundancy in our manufacturing facility. If we experience any significant disruption in the operation of our manufacturing facility or a serious failure of a critical piece of equipment, we may be unable to supply microdisplays to our customers in a timely manner. Interruptions in our manufacturing could be caused by equipment problems, the introduction of new equipment into the manufacturing process or delays in the delivery of new manufacturing equipment. Lead-time for delivery, installation, testing, repair and maintenance of manufacturing equipment can be extensive. We have experienced production interruptions in the past and no assurance can be given that we will not lose potential sales or be unable to meet production orders due to future production interruptions in our manufacturing line.

We rely on key sole source and limited source suppliers.

        We depend on a number of sole source or limited source suppliers for certain raw materials, components, and services. These include silicon wafers, circuit boards, graphic integrated circuits, passive components, materials and chemicals, and equipment support. We maintain several single-source supplier relationships either because alternative sources are not available or because the relationship is advantageous to us due to performance, quality, support, delivery, capacity, or price considerations (or a combination thereof). Even where alternative sources of supply are available, qualification of the alternative suppliers and establishment of reliable supplies could result in delays and a possible loss of sales, which could materially and adversely affect our operating results. We do not manufacture the silicon integrated circuits on which we incorporate our OLED technology. Instead,

13

---

Table of Contents

we provide the design layouts to semiconductor contract manufacturers who manufactures the integrated circuits on silicon wafers. Our inability to obtain sufficient quantities of components and other materials or services on a timely basis could result in manufacturing delays, increased costs and ultimately in reduced or delayed sales or lost orders which could materially and adversely affect our operating results. Generally, we do not have long-term contracts or written agreements with our source suppliers but instead operate on the basis of short term purchase orders.

Our results of operations, financial condition and business would be harmed if we were unable to balance customer demand and capacity.

        As customer demand for our products changes, and as we enter new markets which may require higher volume mass production, we must be able to ramp up or adjust our production capacity to meet demand or enter into relationships with high volume manufacturing partners. We are continually taking steps to address our manufacturing capacity needs for our products. If we are not able to expand our manufacturing capacity or enter into relationships with high volume manufacturing partners, our prospects may be limited and our business and results of operations could be adversely impacted. If we experience delays or unforeseen costs associated with adjusting our capacity levels, we may not be able to achieve our financial targets. For some of our products, vendor lead times exceed our customers' required delivery time, causing us to order to forecast rather than order based on actual demand. Ordering raw material, building finished goods, and scheduling contract manufacturer production for our consumer products based on forecasts exposes us to numerous risks, including potential inability to service customer demand within an acceptable timeframe, holding excess inventory or having unabsorbed manufacturing overhead.

Variations in our production yields impact our ability to reduce our costs and could cause our margins to decline and our operating results to suffer.

        All of our products are manufactured using technologies that are highly complex. The number of usable items, or yield, from our production processes may fluctuate as a result of many factors, including but not limited to the following:

•

variability in our manufacturing process and repeatability;



•

changes in manufacturing personnel due to turnover or employee absences;



•

contamination of the manufacturing environment or equipment;



•

equipment failure, power outages, or modification to our manufacturing processes;



•

lack of consistency and adequate quality and quantity of piece parts and other raw materials;



•

defects in packaging either within or without our control;



•

any transitions or changes in our production process, planned or unplanned; and



•

certain customer requirements outside of our normal specifications.

        Variations in our production yields impacts our costs and could cause our margins to decline and our operating results to suffer.

We could experience manufacturing interruptions, delays, or inefficiencies if we are unable to timely and reliably procure components from single-sourced suppliers.

        We maintain several single-source supplier relationships, either because alternative sources are not available or because the relationship is advantageous due to performance, quality, support, delivery, capacity, or price considerations (or a combination thereof). If the supply of a critical single-source material or component is delayed or curtailed, we may not be able to ship the related product in

14

---

Table of Contents

desired quantities and in a timely manner. Even where alternative sources of supply are available, qualification of the alternative suppliers and establishment of reliable supplies could result in delays and a possible loss of sales, which would harm our operating results. Further, we utilize single source contract manufacturers to assemble our night vision consumer products. Inadequate line capacity or production capacity commitments to other products could affect our ability to build sufficient quantities of products to meet demand.

Risks Related To Our Intellectual Property

We may not be successful in protecting our intellectual property and proprietary rights.

        We rely on a combination of patents, trade secret protection, licensing agreements and other arrangements to establish and protect our proprietary technologies. If we fail to successfully enforce our intellectual property rights, our competitive position could suffer, which could harm our operating results. Patents may not be issued for our current patent applications; third parties may challenge, invalidate or circumvent any patent issued to us; unauthorized parties could obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights; rights granted under patents issued to us may not afford us any competitive advantage; others may independently develop similar technology or design around our patents; and protection of our intellectual property rights may be limited in certain foreign countries. On April 30, 2007, the U.S. Supreme Court, in KSR International Co. vs. Teleflex, Inc., mandated a more expansive and flexible approach towards a determination as to whether a patent is obvious and invalid, which may make it more difficult for patent holders to secure or maintain existing patents. Any future infringement or other claims or prosecutions we may bring against third parties based on our intellectual property could have a material adverse effect on our business. Any such claims could be time consuming to assert, result in costly litigation, divert management's attention and resources, or result in our entering into royalty or licensing agreements. Protection of intellectual property has historically been a large yearly expense for us. For a period prior to 2008, we were not in a financial position to properly protect all of our intellectual property, and may not be in a position to properly protect our position or stay ahead of competition in new research and the protecting of the resulting intellectual property.

        In addition to patent protection, we also rely on trade secrets and other non-patented proprietary information relating to our product development and manufacturing activities. We try to protect this information through appropriate efforts to maintain its secrecy, including requiring employees and third parties to sign confidentiality agreements. We cannot be sure that these efforts will be successful or that the confidentiality agreements will not be breached. We also cannot be sure that we would have adequate remedies for any breach of such agreements or other misappropriation of our trade secrets or that our trade secrets and proprietary know-how will not otherwise become known or be independently discovered by others.

Third parties may assert claims against us which could harm our business.

        We may face third party claims that our business practices or products infringe adversely held intellectual property rights. We may face third party claims that our employees or contractors have misappropriated and unlawfully disclosed to us for our benefit third party trade secrets or other proprietary information. Furthermore, we have agreed to indemnify customers for certain intellectual property claims brought against them. Defending any such claims, whether or not meritorious, would cause us to incur costs and may divert the attention of management and technical personnel. Resolution of any such claims by litigation or settlement may entail payment of damages, changes to our business practices or products, and changes in our relationships with our customers, employees, or contractors.

Risks Related To The Microdisplay Industry

The success of the commercial and consumer microdisplay industry is dependent upon widespread acceptance of microdisplay systems products, including their incorporation into AR and VR systems and products.

        The market for microdisplays is still emerging. Our long-term success will depend on widespread consumer acceptance of microdisplays as well as the success of the commercialization of the microdisplay market for consumer applications. As an OEM supplier, our customers' products must also be well accepted. At present, it is difficult to assess or predict with any assurance the potential size, timing and viability of market opportunities for our technology in this market.

Procurement of microdisplays for military systems is subject to changes in federal budget priorities and if government funding is discontinued or reduced, our ability to develop or enhance products could be limited and our business results, operations and financial conditions could be adversely affected.

        Historically, a large portion of our revenue is from military contracts. Procurement of microdisplays for military systems is subject to changes in federal budget priorities. Government programs are subject to authorization, appropriation and allocation of funding on an annual basis. Additionally, funding can be shifted to other programs if the government changes budget priorities, such as in a time of war or for other reasons. Government contracts are also subject to the risk that the government may not appropriate and allocate all funding contemplated by the contract. Government contracts generally permit the contracting authority to terminate the contract for the convenience of the government and in the event of a premature termination of a contract, the full value of such contract will not be realized.

        The research and development and product procurement contracts of the customers we supply may be similarly impacted by government budget decisions. If the government funding is discontinued or reduced, our ability to develop or enhance products could be limited and our business results, operations and financial conditions could be adversely affected.

        In addition, we must comply with certain laws and regulations relating to the administration and performance of federal government contracts. These laws and regulations affect how we conduct business under our federal government contracts, including in our role as a subcontractor. In complying with these laws and regulations, we may incur additional costs, and non-compliance may lead to the assessment of fines and penalties, including contractual damages or the loss of business.

The microdisplay market is highly competitive with several competing technologies.

        We do business in intensely competitive markets that are characterized by rapid technological change, changes in market requirements and competition from both other suppliers and our potential OEM customers. Such markets are typically characterized by price erosion. This intense competition could result in pricing pressures, lower sales, reduced margins, and lower market share. Our ability to compete successfully will depend on a number of factors, both within and outside our control. We expect these factors to include the following:

•

our success in designing, manufacturing and delivering expected new products, including those implementing new technologies on a timely basis;



•

our ability to address the needs of our customers;



•

the quality, performance, reliability, features, ease of use and pricing of our products;



•

successful expansion of our manufacturing capabilities;



•

our efficiency of production, and ability to manufacture and ship products on time;



•

the rate at which OEM customers incorporate our product solutions into their own products;

16

---

Table of Contents

•

the market acceptance of our customers' products; and



•

product or technology introductions by our competitors.

        In addition, our customers may be reluctant to rely on a relatively small company such as eMagin for a critical component. We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete successfully against current and future competition, and the failure to do so would have a materially adverse effect upon our business, operating results and financial condition.

The display industry may be subject to cyclical demand and overcapacity.

        Our business strategy is dependent on OEM manufacturers' building and selling products that incorporate our OLED displays as components into those products. Industry-wide fluctuations in demand could cause significant harm to our business. The OLED microdisplay sector may experience overcapacity if additional capacity comes on line which could lead to pricing pressures and a difficult market in which to sell our products.

Our competitors have many advantages over us.

        As the microdisplay market develops, we expect to experience intense competition from numerous domestic and foreign companies, including well-established corporations possessing worldwide manufacturing and production facilities, greater name recognition and significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources than us, as well as from emerging companies who may be subsidized by their governments. We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete successfully against current and future competition, and the failure to do so would have a materially adverse effect upon our business, operating results and financial condition.

Our products are subject to lengthy OEM development periods.

        We sell most of our microdisplays to OEMs who will incorporate them into products they sell. OEMs determine during their product development phase whether they will incorporate our products. The time elapsed between initial sampling of our products by OEMs, the custom design of our products to meet specific OEM product requirements, and the ultimate incorporation of our products into OEM consumer products is significant, often with a duration of between one and three years. If our products fail to meet our OEM customers' cost, performance or technical requirements or if unexpected technical challenges arise in the integration of our products into OEM consumer products, our operating results could be significantly and adversely affected. Long delays in achieving customer qualification and incorporation of our products also could adversely affect our business.

In order to increase or maintain our profit margins we may have to continuously develop new products, product enhancements and new technologies.

        In some markets, prices of established products tend to decline over time. In order to increase or maintain our profit margins over the long-term, we believe that we will need to continuously develop new products, product enhancements and new technologies that will either slow price declines of our products or reduce the cost of producing and delivering our products. While we anticipate many opportunities to reduce production costs over time, there can be no assurance that these cost reduction plans will be successful, that we will have the resources to fund the expenditures necessary to implement certain cost-saving measures, or that our costs can be reduced as quickly as any reduction in unit prices. We may also attempt to offset the anticipated decrease in our average selling price by introducing new products with higher selling prices that may or may not offset price declines in more mature products. If we fail to do so successfully, our results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Risks Related To The Consumer Night Vision Products Industry

The commercial success of the consumer night vision industry depends on the widespread market acceptance of consumer night vision products.

        The commercial market, if any, for consumer night vision products is still emerging. The success of our BlazeTorch and BlazeSpark night vision products may depend on the consumer acceptance of these products as well as the success of the commercialization of the night vision market. The existing nonmilitary night vision market is more narrowly focused on tactical, hunting, law enforcement and first responder markets. In order to achieve the sales levels necessary to achieve our plans in this area, we need to expand beyond these existing markets into broader based consumer acceptance, including hobbyists, outdoor sports enthusiasts, and social media users interested in capturing nighttime activities, who may not exist in sufficient numbers to make the consumer market viable for us.

The Company has limited experience in the consumer electronics industry and this is a highly competitive industry.

        With the introduction of the consumer night vision products, we are seeking to do business in intensely competitive consumer-focused markets that are characterized by rapid technological change, changes in market requirements, price erosion and competition from other manufacturers and distributors. This intense competition is likely to result in pricing pressures, lower sales, reduced margins, and lower market share. Our ability to compete successfully will depend on a number of factors, both within and outside our control. We expect these factors to include the following:

•

our success in designing, manufacturing and delivering expected new products, including those implementing new technologies on a timely basis;



•

our ability to address the needs of our customers and the quality of our customer services;



•

the ability to effectively market and advertise our products;



•

the quality, performance, reliability, features, ease of use and pricing of our products;



•

the ability to market successfully to law enforcement, utility and first responder customers



•

the capacity of our outsourced production facilities, and ability to manufacture and ship products on time;



•

our ability to comply with country specific regulatory certifications for consumer products; and



•

product or technology introductions by our competitors.

Risks Related To Our Business

Our success depends on attracting and retaining highly skilled and qualified technical and consulting personnel.

        We must hire highly skilled technical personnel as employees and as independent contractors in order to develop our products. The competition for skilled technical employees is intense and we may not be able to retain or recruit such personnel. We must compete with companies that possess greater financial and other resources than we do, and that may be more attractive to potential employees and contractors. To be competitive, we may have to increase the compensation, including salaries, bonuses, stock options and other fringe benefits, offered to employees in order to attract and retain such personnel. The costs of attracting and retaining new personnel may have a materially adverse effect on our business and our operating results.

Our success depends in a large part on the continuing service of key personnel.

        Changes in management could have an adverse effect on our business. We are dependent upon the active participation of several key management personnel and will also need to recruit additional management in order to expand according to our business plan. The failure to attract and retain additional management or personnel could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and financial performance.

Our operating results are substantially dependent on the development and acceptance of new products and technology innovations.

        Our future success may depend on our ability to develop new and lower cost solutions for existing and new markets and for customers to accept those solutions. We must introduce new products in a timely and cost-efficient manner, and we must secure production orders for those products from our customers. The development of new products is a highly complex process, and we historically have experienced delays in completing the development and introduction of new products. Some or all of those technologies or products may not successfully make the transition from the research and development phase. Even when we successfully complete a research and development effort with respect to a particular product or technology, it may fail to gain market acceptance. The successful development and introduction of these products depends on a number of factors, including the following:

•

achievement of technology advances required to make commercially viable devices;



•

the accuracy of our predictions of market requirements;



•

acceptance of our new product designs;



•

acceptance of new technology in certain markets;



•

the availability of qualified research and development and product development personnel;



•

our timely completion of product designs and development;



•

our ability and available resources to expand sales;



•

our ability to develop repeatable processes to manufacture new products in sufficient quantities and at low enough costs for commercial sales;



•

our customers' ability to develop competitive products incorporating our products; and



•

acceptance of our customers' products by the market.

        If any of these or other factors become problematic, we may not be able to develop and introduce these new products in a timely or cost-effective manner.

If government agencies or companies discontinue or curtail their funding for our research and development programs, our business may suffer.

        Changes in federal budget priorities could adversely affect our contract and display product revenue. Historically, U.S. government agencies have funded a significant part of our research and development activities. Our funding has the risk of being redirected to other programs when the government changes budget priorities, such as in time of war or for other reasons. Government contracts are also subject to the risk that the government agency may not appropriate and allocate all funding contemplated by the contract. In addition our government contracts generally permit the contracting authority to terminate the contract for the convenience of the government. The full value of the contracts would not be realized if they were prematurely terminated. We may be unable to incur sufficient allowable costs to generate the full estimated contract values. Furthermore, the research and

19

---

Table of Contents

development and product procurement contracts of the customers we supply may be similarly impacted. If the government funding is discontinued or reduced, our ability to develop or enhance products could be limited and our business results or operations and financial conditions could be adversely affected.

Our business depends on new products and technologies.

        The market for our products is characterized by rapid changes in product, design and manufacturing process technologies. Our success depends to a large extent on our ability to develop and manufacture new products and technologies to match the varying requirements of different customers in order to establish a competitive position and become profitable. Furthermore, we must adapt our products and processes to technological changes and emerging industry standards and practices on a cost-effective and timely basis. Our failure to accomplish any of the above could harm our business and operating results.

We generally do not have long-term contracts with our customers.

        Our business has primarily operated on the basis of short-term purchase orders. We receive some longer term purchase agreements and procurement contracts, but we cannot guarantee that we will continue to do so. Our current purchase agreements, depending on the circumstances, can be cancelled or revised without penalty. We plan production primarily on the basis of internally generated forecasts of demand based on communications with customers, and available industry data which makes it difficult to accurately forecast revenues. If we fail to accurately forecast operating results, our business may suffer and the market price of our shares may decline.

Our business strategy may fail if we cannot continue to form strategic relationships with companies that manufacture and use products that could incorporate our active matrix OLED technology.

        Our prospects could be significantly affected by our ability to develop strategic alliances with high volume manufacturers and with OEMs for incorporation of our active matrix OLED microdisplay technology into their products. While we intend to continue to establish strategic relationships with manufacturers of electronic consumer products, personal computers, chipmakers, lens makers, equipment makers, material suppliers and/or systems assemblers, there is no assurance that we will be able to continue to establish and maintain strategic relationships on commercially acceptable terms, or that the alliances we do enter into will realize their objectives. Failure to do so could have a material and adverse effect on our business.

Our business depends to some extent on international transactions.

        We purchase needed materials and subcontract manufacturing processes from companies located abroad and may be adversely affected by political and currency risk, as well as the additional costs of doing business with foreign entities. Some customers in other countries have longer receivable periods as is customary in those countries. In addition, many of the foreign OEMs that are the most likely long-term purchasers of our microdisplays expose us to additional political and currency risk. We may find it necessary to locate manufacturing facilities abroad to be closer to our customers which could expose us to various risks, including management of a multi-national organization, the complexities of complying with foreign laws and customs, political instability and the complexities of taxation in multiple jurisdictions.

Our business may expose us to product liability claims.

        Our business may expose us to potential product liability claims. Although no such claims have been brought against us to date, and to our knowledge no such claim is threatened or likely, we may face liability to product users for damages resulting from the faulty design or manufacture of our

20

Table of Contents

products. While we plan to maintain product liability insurance coverage, there can be no assurance that product liability claims will not exceed coverage limits, fall outside the scope of such coverage, or that such insurance will continue to be available at commercially reasonable rates, if at all.

Our business is subject to environmental regulations and possible liability arising from potential employee claims of exposure to harmful substances used in the development and manufacture of our products.

        We are subject to various governmental regulations related to toxic, volatile, experimental and other hazardous chemicals used in our design and manufacturing process. Our failure to comply with these regulations could result in the imposition of fines or in the suspension or cessation of our operations. Compliance with these regulations could require us to acquire costly equipment or to incur other significant expenses. We develop, evaluate and utilize new chemical compounds in the manufacture of our products. While we attempt to ensure that our employees are protected from exposure to hazardous materials, we cannot assure you that potentially harmful exposure will not occur or that we will not be liable to employees as a result.

Provisions in certain of our commercial agreements and our military business may prevent or delay an acquisition of our Company, which could decrease the market value of our common stock.

        Provisions in certain of our commercial agreements may discourage, delay or prevent a merger, acquisition or other change in control that stockholders may consider favorable. In addition, as a contractor and subcontractor to the U.S. federal government, we are subject to and must comply with various government regulations that impact our operating costs, profit margins and the internal organization and operation of our business. As a result, these provisions and business could limit the price that strategic investors may be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock. They could also deter potential acquirers of our company, thereby reducing the likelihood that you could receive a premium for your common stock in an acquisition.

Some of our business is subject to U.S. government procurement laws and regulations.

        We must comply with certain laws and regulations relating to the formation, administration and performance of federal government contracts, including the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). These laws and regulations affect how we conduct business under our federal government contracts, including the business that we do as a subcontractor. In complying with these laws and regulations, we may incur additional costs, and non-compliance may lead to the assessment of fines and penalties, including contractual damages, or the loss of business.

Our international sales and operations are subject to export laws and regulations.

        We must comply with all applicable export control laws, including the EAR and ITAR. Certain of our products may be deemed to be controlled for export by the U.S. Commerce Department's Bureau of Industry and Security under the EAR or by the U.S. State's Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) under the ITAR. We believe certain of our new products with both high brightness and high resolution will be classified as defense articles and licenses from the DDTC will be required for exports. Failure to comply with these export control laws can lead to severe penalties, both civil and criminal, and can include debarment from contracting with the U.S. government.

Economic conditions may adversely impact our business, operating results and financial condition.

        Economic conditions and market instability may affect our customers and suppliers. Any adverse financial or economic impact to our customers may impact their ability to pay timely, or result in their inability to pay. It may also impact their ability to fund future purchases, or increase the sales cycles

21

which could lead to a reduction in revenue and accounts receivable. Our suppliers may increase their prices or may be unable to supply needed raw materials on a timely basis which could result in our inability to meet customers' demand or affect our gross margins. Our suppliers may also impose more stringent payment terms on us. The timing and nature of any recovery in the credit and financial markets remains uncertain, and there can be no assurance that market conditions will improve in the near future or that our results will not be materially and adversely affected.

We may be affected by recent tax legislation.

        On December 22, 2017, the President signed into law an extensive overhaul of the U.S. federal tax code called the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, or the Tax Legislation. The Tax Legislation makes significant changes to the taxation of individuals and corporations, which could significantly affect our business, our operations, our financial condition, or the taxation of our stockholders and warrant holders. Potential investors should consult their tax advisors about the Tax Legislation and its potential impact on making an investment in the Company.

Risks Related To This Offering And Our Common Stock And The Warrants

The market price of our common stock may be volatile.

        The market price of our common stock has been subject to wide fluctuations. During our four most recently completed fiscal quarters, the closing price of our stock ranged from a high of $2.85 in January 2017 to a low of $1.55 in December 2017. The market price of our common stock in the future is likely to continue to be subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, including, but not limited to, the following:

•

variations in our operating results and financial conditions;



•

actual or anticipated announcements of technical innovations, commercial partnerships, new product developments, or design wins by us or our competitors;



•

general conditions in the semiconductor and flat panel display industries; and



•

worldwide economic and financial conditions.

        In addition, the public stock markets have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have particularly affected the market price for many technology companies and that have often been unrelated to the operating performance of these companies. The broad market fluctuations and other factors may continue to adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

There is no public market for the warrants to purchase common stock being offered in this offering.

        There is no established public trading market for the warrants being offered in this offering, and we do not expect a market to develop. In addition, we do not intend to apply for listing of the warrants on any national securities exchange or other trading market. Without an active market, the liquidity of the warrants will be limited.

Holders of our warrants will have no rights as a common stockholder until such holders exercise their warrants and acquire our common stock.

        Until you acquire shares of our common stock upon exercise of your warrants, you will have no rights with respect to the shares of our common stock underlying such warrants, except as set forth in the warrants. Upon exercise of your warrants, you will be entitled to exercise the rights of a common stockholder only as to matters for which the record date occurs after the exercise date.

22

Table of Contents

The warrants may never have any value.

        The warrants comprising part of the fixed combinations being sold in this offering, which have an exercise price of $            per whole share of common stock, will expire on the five year anniversary of the initial exercise date. In the event our common stock price does not exceed the per share exercise price of the warrants during the period when the warrants are exercisable, the warrants will not have any value.

The market price of our common stock may be adversely affected by market conditions affecting the stock markets in general, including price and trading fluctuations on the NYSE American.

        Market conditions may result in volatility in the level of, and fluctuations in, market prices of stocks generally and, in turn, our common stock and sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the market, in each case being unrelated or disproportionate to changes in our operating performance. Concerns over global stability and economic conditions in the United States and abroad have contributed to the extreme volatility of the markets which may have an effect on the market price of our common stock.

The substantial number of shares that are or will be eligible for sale could cause our common stock price to decline even if we are successful.

        Sales of significant amounts of common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales may occur, could materially affect the market price of our common stock. These sales might also make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-linked securities in the future at a time and price that we deem appropriate. As of September 30, 2017, we have outstanding common shares of 34,972,589 plus (i) options to purchase 5,142,448 shares, (ii) warrants to purchase 5,081,449 shares and (iii) convertible preferred stock to acquire 7,545,333 shares of common stock. If a significant number of our outstanding options are exercised, our stockholders may experience a substantial dilution in their percentage ownership of our company.

You will experience immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value per share of the common stock you purchase.

        Since the offering price per fixed combination of the securities being offered is substantially higher than the net tangible book value per share of our common stock, you will suffer substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of the common stock you purchase in this offering. Based on the assumed offering price of $1.75 per fixed combination and attributing no value to the warrants, if you purchase shares of common stock in this offering, you will suffer immediate and substantial dilution of $1.05 per share in the net tangible book value of the common stock. In the event that you exercise your warrants, you will experience additional dilution to the extent that the exercise price of those warrants is higher than the book value per share of our common stock. See the section entitled "Dilution" below for a more detailed discussion of the dilution you would incur if you purchase securities in this offering.

Future issuances of our common stock could lower our stock price and dilute the interests of existing stockholders.

        We may issue additional shares of our common stock in the future, including shares of our common stock in connection with acquisitions, strategic partnerships or joint ventures that we believe will allow us to complement our growth strategy, increase market share in our current markets and expand into adjacent markets, broaden our technology and intellectual property, and strengthen our relationships with distributors and OEMs. Any future issuances of shares of our common stock, including in connection with any future acquisition, partnership or joint venture, may result in the dilution of existing stockholders to the extent we are required to issue equity securities.

23

Table of Contents

        The issuance of a substantial amount of common stock could have the effect of substantially diluting the interests of our current stockholders. In addition, the sale of a substantial amount of common stock in the public market, either in the initial issuance or in a subsequent resale by investors who acquired such common stock in a private placement, could have a material adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.

Concentration of ownership of our stock may enable one stockholder or a small number of stockholders to significantly influence matters requiring stockholder approval.

        As of December 31, 2017, Stillwater Holdings LLC (f/k/a Stillwater LLC) owned approximately 16% of our outstanding voting stock, Flat Creek Fiduciary Management, as trustee of a trust which the sole member of Stillwater Holdings LLC has investment control, owned approximately 10% of our outstanding voting stock, Stillwater Trust LLC owned 5% of our outstanding voting stock and the sole member of Stillwater Holdings LLC is the investment manager of Rainbow Gate Corporation, which owned approximately 4% of our outstanding voting stock. Together such stockholders owned approximately 36% of our outstanding voting stock. As a result, these stockholders, if they act together, may be able to exert a significant degree of influence over matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. Further, if these stockholders act together with another stockholder, Ginola Limited, which has common directors with Mount Union Corp., Chelsea Trust Company and Crestflower Corporation, as of December 31, 2017, they would collectively have represented approximately 42% of our outstanding voting stock. This concentration of ownership may facilitate or hinder a change of control and might affect the market price of our common stock. Furthermore, the interests of this concentration of ownership may not always coincide with our interests or the interests of other stockholders. Nevertheless, the ability to influence the election of our Board of Directors or otherwise have influence does not modify the fiduciary duties of our Board of Directors to represent the interests of all stockholders.

We will have broad discretion in how we use the net proceeds of this offering. We may not use these proceeds effectively, which could affect our results of operations and cause our stock price to decline.

        We will have considerable discretion in the application of the net proceeds of this offering. We currently intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for working capital, capital expenditure and general corporate purposes. We have not yet determined the amount of net proceeds to be used specifically for any particular purpose or the timing of these expenditures. Accordingly, our management will have significant discretion and flexibility in applying the net proceeds from this offering. Pending any use, as described above, we intend to invest the net proceeds in high-quality, short-term, interest-bearing securities.

        As a result, investors will be relying upon management's judgment with only limited information about our specific intentions for the use of the net proceeds of this offering. We may use the net proceeds for purposes that do not yield a significant return or any return at all for our stockholders. In addition, pending their use, we may invest the net proceeds from this offering in a manner that does not produce income or that loses value.

We do not intend to pay cash dividends. We last paid a dividend on our capital stock in 2012 and we do not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. Consequently, any gains from an investment in our securities will likely depend on whether the price of our common stock increases.

        We have not paid dividends on any of our capital stock since 2012. We currently intend to retain our future earnings, if any, to fund the development and growth of our business. In addition, our ABL Facility prohibits us from paying cash dividends on our common stock. As a result, capital appreciation, if any, of our common stock will be your sole source of gain for the foreseeable future. Consequently,

24

Table of Contents

in the foreseeable future, you will likely only experience a gain from your investment in our securities if the price of our common stock increases.

A provision in our certificate of incorporation and by-laws may prevent or delay an acquisition of our Company, which could decrease the market value of our common stock.

        Provisions of Delaware law, our certificate of incorporation and our by-laws may discourage, delay or prevent a merger, acquisition or other change in control that stockholders may consider favorable. These provisions may also prevent or delay attempts by stockholders to replace or remove our current management or members of our Board of Directors. These provisions include:

•

limitations on the removal of directors;



•

advance notice requirements for stockholder proposals and nominations;



•

the inability of stockholders to act by written consent or to call special meetings;



•

the ability of our Board of Directors to make, alter or repeal our by-laws; and



•

the authority of our Board of Directors to issue preferred stock with such terms as our Board of Directors may determine.

        In addition, we are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which limits business combination transactions with stockholders of 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock that our Board of Directors has not approved. These provisions and other similar provisions make it more difficult for stockholders or potential acquirers to acquire us without negotiation. These provisions may apply even if some stockholders may consider the transaction beneficial to them. As a result, these provisions could limit the price that investors are willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock. These provisions might also discourage a potential acquisition proposal or tender offer, even if the acquisition proposal or tender offer is at a premium over the then current market price for our common stock.

We are subject to significant corporate regulation as a public company and failure to comply with all applicable regulations could subject us to liability or negatively affect our stock price.

        As a publicly traded company, we are subject to a significant body of regulation, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. While we have developed and instituted a corporate compliance program based on what we believe are the current best practices in corporate governance and continue to update this program in response to newly implemented or changing regulatory requirements, we cannot provide assurance that we are or will be in compliance with all potentially applicable corporate regulations. For example, we cannot provide assurance that, in the future, our management will not find a material weakness in connection with its annual review of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We also cannot provide assurance that we could remediate any such weakness; our failure to do so would prevent our management from concluding that our internal control over financial reporting as of the end of our fiscal year is effective. If we fail to comply with any of these regulations, we could be subject to a range of regulatory actions, fines or other sanctions or litigation. If we must disclose any material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, our stock price could decline.

USE OF PROCEEDS

        We estimate that we will receive net proceeds of approximately $8.9 million (or approximately $10.3 million if the underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full) from the sale of the securities offered by us in this offering, based on the assumed combined public offering price of $1.75 per share of common stock and warrant (the last reported sale price of our common stock on the NYSE American on January 16, 2018), and after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for working capital and general corporate purposes.

        We have not yet determined the amount of net proceeds to be used specifically for any particular purpose or the timing of these expenditures. Accordingly, our management will have significant discretion and flexibility in applying the net proceeds from this offering. Pending any use, as described above, we intend to invest the net proceeds in high-quality, short-term, interest-bearing securities.

        Each $1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed public offering price of $1.75 per share would increase (decrease) the net proceeds to us from this offering by approximately $5.4 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, assuming that the number of shares and warrants to purchase shares of common stock offered by us in this offering remains the same.

PRICE RANGE OF COMMON STOCK

        Our common stock trades on the NYSE American under the symbol "EMAN". The following table shows the high and low sale prices per share of our common stock as reported on NYSE American for the periods indicated.

        On January 18, 2018, the last reported sale price for our common stock on NYSE American was $1.70 per share. As of January 17, 2018, there were approximately 250 record holders of our common stock. This does not include persons whose stock is in nominee or "street name" accounts through brokers.

DIVIDEND POLICY

        We do not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. Future decisions to pay cash dividends are at the discretion of our Board of Directors. We currently intend to retain any future profits for use in the development and expansion of our business and for general corporate purposes. In addition, our ABL Facility prohibits us from paying cash dividends on our common stock.

DILUTION

        If you invest in our common stock and warrants, you will experience dilution to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per fixed combination (attributing no value to the warrants) and the net tangible book value per share of our common stock immediately after this offering.

        Our net tangible book value as of September 30, 2017, was approximately $19.5 million, or $0.56 per share of our common stock, based upon shares of our common stock outstanding as of that date. Net tangible book value per share is determined by dividing our total tangible assets, less total liabilities, by the number of shares of our common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2017. Dilution in net tangible book value per share represents the difference between the amount per share paid by purchasers of shares of common stock and warrants in this offering and the net tangible book value per share of our common stock immediately after this offering.

        After giving effect to the sale of 5,214,286 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase up to 1,428,571 shares of common stock in this offering at the assumed public offering price of $1.75 per fixed combination and after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, and excluding the proceeds, if any, from the exercise of warrants in this offering, our as adjusted net tangible book value as of September 30, 2017, would have been approximately $28.5 million, or $0.70 per share. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $0.14 per share to existing stockholders and immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $1.05 per share to new investors purchasing our common stock and warrants in this offering at the public offering price. The following table illustrates this dilution on a per share basis:

        Each $0.10 increase (decrease) in an assumed public offering price of $1.75 per share, the last reported sale price of our common stock on the NYSE American on January 16, 2018, would increase (decrease) dilution per share to new investors by approximately $0.01 after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

        If the underwriters exercise in full their over-allotment option at an assumed public offering price of $1.75 per share, the last reported sale price of our common stock on the NYSE American on January 16, 2018, the as adjusted net tangible book value after this offering would be $0.73 per share of our common stock, representing an increase of as adjusted net tangible book value of $0.17 per share to our existing stockholders and an immediate dilution of $1.02 per share to new investors purchasing shares in this offering.

        The foregoing table and discussion is based on 34,972,589 shares outstanding as of September 30, 2017 and excludes:

•

5,142,448 shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options outstanding as of September 30, 2017, at an average exercise price of $2.96 per share;

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Introduction

        The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto. Our fiscal year ends December 31. This prospectus contains certain forward-looking statements including, among others, anticipated trends in our financial condition and results of operations and our business strategy. These forward-looking statements are based largely on our current expectations and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. See the "Risk Factors" section of this prospectus. Actual results could differ materially from these forward-looking statements. Important factors to consider in evaluating such forward-looking statements include changes in external factors or in our internal budgeting process which might impact trends in our results of operations; unanticipated working capital or other cash requirements; changes in our business strategy or an inability to execute our strategy due to unanticipated changes in the industries in which we operate; and various competitive market factors that may prevent us from competing successfully in the marketplace.

Overview

        We design, develop, manufacture and market organic light emitting diode (OLED) miniature displays, which we refer to as OLED-on-silicon-microdisplays, and microdisplay modules for virtual imaging, primarily for incorporation into the products of other manufacturers. Microdisplays are typically smaller than many postage stamps, but when viewed through a magnifier they can contain all of the information appearing on a high-resolution personal computer screen. Our microdisplays use organic OLEDs, which emit light themselves when a current is passed through the device. Our technology permits OLEDs to be coated onto silicon chips to produce high resolution OLED-on-silicon microdisplays.

        We believe that our OLED-on-silicon microdisplays offer a number of advantages in near to the eye applications over other current microdisplay technologies, including higher contrast, lower power requirements, less weight, fast video speed without flicker, wide operating temperature and wider viewing angles. In addition, many computer and video electronic system functions can be built directly into the OLED-on-silicon microdisplay, resulting in compact systems with lower expected overall system costs relative to alternate microdisplay technologies. We also believe that our direct patterning technology gives us a substantial advantage over other OLED microdisplays because it allows us to produce microdisplays with the high brightness required for VR and AR. Traditional OLED microdisplays utilize white emitting OLED with color filters that lessen the intensity of emitted light by as much as 85%, significantly reducing brightness. Microdisplays manufactured by direct patterning do not require color filters to achieve color variations and allow for the application of more efficient OLED structures which achieve high brightness.

        We have devoted significant resources to the development and commercial launch of our OLED microdisplay products into military, aviation, consumer, enterprise, industrial and medical applications. First sales of our SVGA+ microdisplay began in May 2001 and we launched the SVGA-3D microdisplay in February 2002. In 2008, the SXGA microdisplay became our first digital display and in 2011, we introduced the VGA OLED-XL, our lowest powered microdisplay, and the WUXGA OLED-XL which exceeds 1080p HD (High Definition) resolution.

        We introduced new products throughout 2014, including a digital SVGA microdisplay and in 2016, a smaller pixel SXGA 096 display that provides for higher resolutions and increased functionality at the same compact size as the SVGA+ microdisplay. Other products such as the SXGA120 and WUXGA have also undergone upgrades improving image quality and manufacturability in 2016 and 2017, while remaining directly compatible with their earlier generation microdisplays.

        These products are being applied or considered for near-eye and headset applications in products such as thermal imagers, night vision goggles, aviation helmets, virtual reality and augmented reality devices to be manufactured by original equipment manufacturer (OEM) customers. In addition to marketing OLED-on-silicon microdisplays as components, we also offer microdisplays as an integrated package, which we call microviewer that includes a compact lens for viewing the microdisplay and electronic interfaces to convert the signal from our customer's product into a viewable image on the microdisplay.

        We have developed our own intellectual property portfolio that includes patents, over 15 years of manufacturing know-how and proprietary technologies to create high performance OLED-on-silicon. We believe our technology, intellectual property portfolio and position in the marketplace give us a leadership position in OLED and OLED-on-silicon microdisplay technology. We believe that we are one of only a few companies to market and produce significant quantities of high resolution, small molecule OLED-on-silicon microdisplays.

        We believe that a key growth opportunity for us is the consumer electronic OEM market. Our strategy for this segment is to secure channels to this market, including licensing of our direct patterning technology and partnering in the mass production of microdisplays. We believe that our direct patterning technology is a key differentiator for enabling next generation AR/ VR hardware for the consumer and enterprise segments because of the brightness and the pixel density afforded by the technology.

        Our direct patterning technology is being optimized and significant improvements have been achieved during 2017, including lowering the power consumption by 20 percent for the same brightness and also demonstrating a maximum brightness of more than 5,300 cd/m2 on a new advanced backplane 2Kx2K microdisplay. We believe that this high brightness OLED-on-silicon technology is gaining attention in the AR/VR industry, which requires high brightness displays, and has contributed to our signing an agreement with a Tier One consumer electronics company in October 2017.

        During 2016, we developed handheld and wearable products that provide consumers' night vision capability at prices we believe are attractive to the mass market. Two products, BlazeSpark and BlazeTorch, were introduced in early 2017. The BlazeSpark is a smart phone attachment that provides for night vision of activities and, through a companion application, allows the user to record and live stream the content. The BlazeTorch is a wearable device that will utilize our advanced OLED microdisplay technology to provide hands-free operation during night-time activities with the capability to record the content. We have established the supply chain utilizing a variety of domestic and international suppliers and two contract manufacturers located in Asia.

        We continue to make progress on our multi-year yield improvement initiative as we strengthen production resources, make key managerial and process engineering hires, and implement production equipment. We believe this initiative will enable us to increase production capacity, lower unit costs and achieve greater operating efficiencies, positioning us to meet expanding customer demand and earning higher gross profits. As part of our yield improvement initiative, we made capital equipment acquisitions over the past several quarters which we are currently implementing and qualifying. We expect that these additions will reduce our dependency on critical equipment at key stages of the production process and provide greater operating flexibility which we believe will permit us to address the increasingly demanding needs of our customers without compromising throughput volumes or unit profitability.

New Business

        During 2017, we made progress towards our goals of securing new U.S. military programs while expanding our presence in foreign military, commercial and industrial markets. Under the U.S. Army's Enhanced Night Vision Goggle III (ENVG III) and Family of Weapon Sight-Individual (FWS-I)

microdisplay technology to provide hands-free operation for night-time activities with the capability to record and upload content.

        In addition, our development work under the Defense Manufacturing, Science and Technology program progressed during 2016 and the first nine months of 2017. We have met all milestones for the Office of Secretary of Defense-sponsored thirty-month program and believe we are on track to provide essential display technology for all service branches following the program's completion which is expected in May 2018.

        On the commercial front, we entered into strategic agreements with multiple Tier One consumer product companies for the design and development of microdisplays for consumer head mounted devices and, together with these companies, negotiated with mass production manufacturers for higher volume production capabilities.

        During the nine months ended September 2017, we made significant progress in our negotiations with multiple major consumer electronics companies to enter into strategic partnerships to develop displays for these companies' next generation VR/AR applications. We are pursuing what we believe to be the best paths to commercializing our direct patterning technology and establishing ourselves as the industry leader in microdisplays for the consumer market.

        Our overarching goal is to secure partnerships with industry leaders in consumer electronics who can help us capitalize on our technology to meet the needs of end users from a cost and performance standpoint. Our partnership initiatives encompass scaling our product technology, entering into mass production agreements with manufacturing companies which possess capital resources and high volume production capability to enable us to manufacture the volumes required for the consumer market, and securing sales and distribution channels to end users.

        During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we experienced an improvement in booking activity as we made progress towards our goals of securing new, and expanding existing, U.S. and foreign military programs while expanding our presence in foreign military, commercial and industrial markets. We expect these efforts to result in greater bookings during the second half of 2017 as a whole than were achieved during the first half of 2017. As of December 31, 2016, we had a backlog of approximately $6.4 million in products ordered for delivery through December 31, 2017. As of December 22, 2017, we had a backlog in products ordered for delivery in 2018 of $11.1 million. Backlog consists of non-binding purchase orders and purchase agreements.

New Technology Development

        We are continuing to make progress in our development of very high brightness full-color microdisplays incorporating our proprietary direct patterning technology. Recent improvements in the equipment and further optimization of the processes have led to brightness levels that surpass the threshold requirements for VR/AR applications for Tier One companies and satisfy the requirements of several pending military programs. Our demonstration of more than 5,300 cd/m2 maximum brightness was a milestone towards the application of eMagin's microdisplays to AR/VR headsets.

        In conjunction with our development work on direct patterning, we have upgraded our production equipment to further improve display performance and achieve higher production volumes. The upgraded equipment is currently being used to produce parts for various customers.

New Product Development

        We continue to develop both small pixel and large area microdisplay architectures for wearable consumer applications. These efforts are being driven by consumer electronics companies and are aimed at leveraging our direct patterning technology for cost effective, large volume production systems.

There were no financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. For the year ended December 31, 2016, financing activities provided approximately $6.0 million in cash of which approximately $4.3 million was net proceeds from the exercise of warrants to purchase common stock, $1.7 million from net borrowings under a new credit facility, net of debt issuance costs, and $45 thousand of proceeds from the exercise of stock options.

        If we are not able to reach our anticipated level of profitability and cash flows over the twelve months commencing on January 1, 2018, it may be necessary to take actions to maintain our current levels of operations, including additional borrowings under our credit facilities, raising capital though issuance of equity, debt or equity linked securities, or to reduce our current levels of operations and implement cost reductions or restructuring activities. As of September 30, 2017, we had cash and working capital of $2.0 million and $10.6 million, respectively, and borrowing availability under the ABL Facility, net of borrowings of $0.9 million, of $3.7 million.

Underwritten Public Offering

        On May 24, 2017, we completed an underwritten offering of 3,300,000 shares of its common stock at an offering price of $2.00 per share and warrants to purchase up to 1,650,000 shares of common stock and realized net proceeds of $5.8 million dollars after underwriting discounts and offering expenses. The shares and warrants were purchased by a single institutional investor and by Stillwater Trust LLC. The warrants have an exercise price of $2.45 per common share and a term of five years.

        The underlying shares of common stock and warrants issued in the May 2017 offering completed the allotment of shares allowable for issuance pursuant to a shelf registration statement filed in 2014. In June 2017, we filed a replacement shelf registration statement that will provide us with the flexibility, subject to certain limitations as a result of our current unaffiliated market capitalization, to raise capital over the next three years from the offering of common stock, preferred stock, warrants, units and debt securities, or any combination of these securities, in one or more future offerings.

Warrant Transaction

        On August 18, 2016, we entered into letter agreements with certain of our warrant holders pursuant to which they agreed to exercise warrants to purchase a total of 2,216,500 shares of our common stock, at an exercise price of $2.05 per share, which they acquired in December 2015.

        On August 24, 2016, in consideration for the exercise of the 2,216,500 warrant shares, we issued new common stock purchase warrants to purchase 2,947,949 shares of our common stock or 1.33 new warrant share for each warrant share exercised, with an exercise price of $2.60 per share, the approximate market price of the Company's shares at the date of the letter agreement. The terms of the warrants are substantially similar to the warrants issued in December 2015. Similar to the earlier warrants, they are not exercisable for six months from the date of issuance; and have a term of five and a half years from the issuance date.

        We raised approximately $4.3 million in net proceeds from the transaction, which was used for general corporate purposes.

ABL Facility

        On December 21, 2016, we entered into an asset based revolving credit facility with a lender that provides for up to a maximum amount of $5 million based on a borrowing base equivalent of 85% of eligible accounts receivable plus the lesser of $2 million or 50% of eligible inventory. The interest on the ABL Facility is equal to the Prime Rate plus 3% but may not be less than 6.5% with a minimum monthly interest payment of $2,000. We are obligated to pay the lender a monthly administrative fee of $1,000 and an annual facility fee equal to 1% of the maximum amount borrowable under the facility.

Table of Contents

The ABL Facility will automatically renew on December 31, 2019 for a one-year term unless written notice to terminate the financing agreement relating to the ABL Facility is provided by either party.

        The ABL Facility is secured by a lien on all receivables, property and the proceeds thereof, credit insurance policies and other insurance relating to the collateral, books, records and other general intangibles, inventory and equipment, proceeds of the collateral and accounts, instruments, chattel paper, and documents. The ABL Facility contains customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default, including a provision that we maintain a minimum tangible net worth of $13 million and a minimum working capital balance of $4 million. As of September 30, 2017, we had borrowings of $0.9 million outstanding under the ABL Facility and had unused borrowing availability of $3.7 million under the ABL Facility. We were in compliance with all debt covenants.

Unsecured Financing Arrangement

        On March 24, 2017, we entered into an unsecured debt financing arrangement with Stillwater Trust LLC. This arrangement expired on May 24, 2017 upon the completion of an equity offering as provided under the terms of the financing agreement. Under the financing agreement, through June 30, 2018, we could borrow up to $2 million for general working capital purposes and up to an additional $3 million should our lender not provide borrowing availability under its normal terms and conditions through its ABL Facility. Pursuant to the financing agreement, the agreement would expire and borrowings become due upon the earlier of June 30, 2020; the completion of one or a series of equity financings which raise collectively $5 million or greater; or an event of default, as defined in the agreement. Amounts borrowed under the financing agreement, once repaid, could not be reborrowed.

        The amounts drawn on the line accrued interest at 6% per annum payable at maturity, and were subject to an upfront drawdown fee of 2% of the amount drawn and a quarterly interest surcharge of 2% paid upfront and due commencing on the 180-day anniversary of each draw regardless of whether the draw was still outstanding and then a 2% quarterly interest surcharge until the draws were repaid. In connection with the financing commitment, the investor received a $50,000 commitment fee and a warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.25 per share, the closing market price of our common stock on the date the financing agreement was executed. In connection with the facility, we, our lender and the investor entered into an intercreditor agreement.

        Upon termination of this facility, the Company wrote off $158 thousand of related debt issuance costs, and recorded a charge to interest expense in the second quarter of 2017.

        Mr. Christopher Brody, a member of our board of directors, is also the President and Managing Director of Stillwater Holdings LLC, which is our largest stockholder, and is the Vice President of Stillwater Trust LLC. The decision of Stillwater Trust LLC to enter into the financing arrangement was made independently of Mr. Brody and the financing was not required or suggested by Mr. Brody. The terms of the financing were determined solely by negotiation among us and Stillwater Trust LLC. Mr. Brody did not participate in the deliberations of our board or the special committee of our board formed to review the terms of the financing with respect to the approval of the financing and abstained from voting thereon.

Former Credit Facility

        Our former credit facility with a lender expired on August 31, 2016 and was not renewed. The facility provided for up to a maximum of $3 million in borrowings based on 75% of eligible accounts receivable, as defined in the agreement. The interest on the credit facility was equal to the prime rate plus 4% but could not be less than 7.25% with a minimum monthly interest payment of $1 thousand. The credit facility contained customary representations and warranties as well as affirmative and negative covenants. We were in compliance with all debt covenants. We did not draw on the credit

facility at any time since its inception in September 2010 and there was no outstanding balance at the expiration date.

Evaluation of Ability to Maintain Current Level of Operations

        In connection with preparing our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we evaluated whether there were conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raised substantial doubt about our ability to maintain our current level of operations for twelve months following the issuance of the respective dates covered by the financial statements.

        For the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December, 31, 2016, we considered the following:

•

Our projections for 2017 and 2018 compared to the operating losses we incurred during 2016 and the first nine months of 2017;



•

Our recurring operating losses and negative cash flow from operating activities during 2016 and the first nine months of 2017;



•

Our working capital requirements for 2017 and the first quarter 2018 compared to our working capital requirements for 2016 and the first nine months of 2017, giving consideration to our cash expenditures in 2016 and the first nine months of 2017 to build our infrastructure and to build inventory of our consumer products which were launched in the first quarter of 2017; and



•

The availability of cash and cash equivalents, including our borrowing capacity, to fund our requirements through 2017 and the first quarter of 2018.

        As part of this evaluation, we considered the following:

•

The projected level of product revenues during 2017 and the first quarter 2018 compared to 2016 as we ramp up shipments to new military programs following the wind down in 2016 of other military programs from which we have historically achieved a higher level of revenues;



•

Contract revenues in 2017 and first quarter 2018 from fulfillment of existing and expected R&D contracts with several Tier One consumer technology companies in comparison to no revenues from such companies in 2016;



•

Anticipated revenues from the introduction in the first quarter of 2017 of our night vision products for the consumer market; and



•

The availability to borrow under our ABL Facility and our credit facility with our largest investor.

        Upon completion of its evaluation, management believed that the Company could generate sufficient cash from operations and borrow sufficient funds from its credit facilities to satisfy its obligations for at least the next twelve months from the issuance of its 2016 financial statements on or about March 28, 2017.

        Management planned to take one or more of the following actions if the Company's cash flow projections were not accurate:

•

Increase its borrowings under its ABL Facility and borrow from the credit facility;



•

Raise additional capital through a private placement or public offering of its equity securities; and/or



•

Implement cost reductions or restructure our operations.

        At December 31, 2016, the Company had $5.2 million in cash and cash equivalents, $11.2 million of working capital, $1.9 million of borrowings under its ABL Facility and unused borrowing availability of $2.0 million under its ABL Facility.

        For the consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we evaluated whether the conditions above raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. As part this evaluation, we also considered our ability to continue current operations, which was dependent on our existing cash and working capital balances and the ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations. We expected that we may need additional capital to fund our operations over the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial statements.            If we were unable to raise additional capital or obtain debt when required or on acceptable terms, we considered that we may have to reduce or delay operating expenses as deemed appropriate in order to conserve cash.

        On March 24, 2017, we entered into an unsecured debt financing arrangement with Stillwater Trust LLC, a significant investor in the Company. Under the financing agreement, through June 30,2018, we may borrow up to $2 million for general working capital purposes and up to an additional $3 million should our lender not provide borrowing availability under its normal terms and conditions through its ABL Facility. In accordance with the terms of the unsecured debt financing agreement, this arrangement expired on May 24, 2017 upon the completion of an equity offering.

        On May 24, 2017, we completed an underwritten offering of 3,300,000 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase up to 1,650,000 shares of common stock and realized net proceeds of $5.8 million dollars after underwriting discounts and offering expenses.

        Upon completion of its evaluation, management believed that the Company's current operating plan, current working capital levels, including proceeds from its May public offering, current financial projections, and the ability to borrow under its ABL Facility, had alleviated substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

        As of September 30, 2017, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $226.2 million. The Company incurred a net loss of $7.3 million and used cash in operating and investing activities of $8.1 million during the first nine months of 2017. In addition, at September 30, 2017, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $2.0 million, $0.9 million of borrowings under its ABL Facility and unused borrowing availability of $3.7 million under its ABL Facility.

Dividends and Stock Repurchase Plan

        In the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, no dividends were declared or paid. It is our intention to retain any future profits for use in the development and expansion of our business and for general corporate purposes. Future decisions to pay cash dividends are at the discretion of our Board of Directors.

        In August 2011, our Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase plan authorizing us to repurchase our common stock not to exceed $2.5 million in total value. No shares were repurchased subsequent to September 2012. As of December 31, 2016, authorization to repurchase $2.0 million in value of our common stock remained under this plan.

Contractual Obligations

        The following chart describes the outstanding contractual obligations of the Company as of December 31, 2016 (in thousands):

Critical Accounting Policies

        The SEC defines "critical accounting policies" as those that require application of management's most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Not all of the accounting policies require management to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments or estimates. However, the following policies could be deemed to be critical within the SEC definition.

Revenue and Cost Recognition

        Revenue on product sales is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, such as when a purchase order or contract is received from the customer; the price is fixed; title and risk of loss to the goods has changed and there is a reasonable assurance of collection of the sales proceeds. We obtain written purchase authorizations from our customers for a specified amount of product at a specified price and consider delivery to have occurred at the time of shipment.

        Revenues from research and development activities relating to firm fixed-price contracts and cost-type contracts are generally recognized on the percentage-of-completion method of accounting as costs are incurred (cost-to-cost basis). Progress is generally based on a cost-to-cost approach; however, an alternative method may be used such as physical progress, labor hours or others depending on the type of contract. Physical progress is determined as a combination of input and output measures as deemed appropriate by the circumstances. Contract costs include all direct material, labor and subcontractor costs and an allocation of allowable indirect costs as defined by each contract, as periodically adjusted to reflect revised agreed upon rates. These rates are subject to audit by the other party.

Product Warranty

        We offer a one-year product replacement warranty. In general, our standard policy is to repair or replace the defective products. We accrue for estimated returns of defective products at the time revenue is recognized based on historical activity as well as for specific known product issues. The determination of these accruals requires us to make estimates of the frequency and extent of warranty activity and estimate future costs to replace the products under warranty. If the actual warranty activity

46

---

Table of Contents

and/or repair and replacement costs differ significantly from these estimates, adjustments to cost of revenue may be required in future periods.

Use of Estimates

        In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management utilizes certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments related to, among others, allowance for doubtful accounts, warranty reserves, inventory reserves, stock-based compensation expense, deferred tax asset valuation allowances, fair value of financial instruments, litigation and other loss contingencies. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

        The Company's cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, short-term investments, and accounts payable are stated at cost which approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Stock-based Compensation

        We maintain several stock equity incentive plans.

        The 2008 Incentive Stock Plan, which is referred to herein as the 2008 Plan, adopted and approved by the Board of Directors on November 5, 2008 provides for grants of common stock and options to purchase shares of common stock to employees, officers, directors and consultants. The 2008 Plan has an aggregate of 2 million shares. In 2016, there were 221,024 options granted from this plan.

        The 2011 Incentive Stock Plan adopted and approved by the stockholders on November 3, 2011 provides for grants of common stock and options to purchase shares of common stock to employees, officers, directors and consultants. On June 7, 2012, at the annual meeting of our stockholders, the stockholders approved an Amended and Restated 2011 Incentive Stock Plan, which is referred to herein as the 2011 Plan. The 2011 Plan has an aggregate of 1.4 million shares. In 2016, there were 458,000 options granted from this plan.

        The 2013 Incentive Stock Plan, which is referred to herein as the 2013 Plan, adopted and approved by the stockholders on May 17, 2013 provides for grants of common stock and options to purchase shares of common stock to employees, officers, directors and consultants. The 2013 Plan has an aggregate of 1.5 million shares. In 2016, there were 635,097 options granted from this plan.

        During 2016, the Company also granted 125,000 options under the 2017 Incentive Stock Plan, which was adopted and approved by the stockholders on May 25, 2017. The plan provides for grants of common stock and options to purchase shares of common stock to employees, officers, directors and consultants.

        We account for the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors by estimating the fair value of stock awards at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. Stock-based compensation expense is reduced for estimated forfeitures and is amortized over the vesting period using the straight-line method. For a further discussion on stock-based compensation, see Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this prospectus.

Income Taxes

        We are required to estimate income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. The process involves estimating our current tax expense together with assessing temporary differences resulting from the differing treatment of items for accounting and tax purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Operating losses and tax credits, to the extent not already utilized to offset taxable income also represent deferred tax assets. We must assess the likelihood that any deferred tax assets will be realized from future taxable income, and to the extent we believe that realization is not likely, we must establish a valuation allowance. Significant judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against our deferred tax assets.

        In determining future taxable income, assumptions are made to forecast operating income, the reversal of temporary timing differences and the implementation of tax planning strategies. Management uses significant judgment in the assumptions it uses to forecast future taxable income which are consistent with the forecasts used to manage the business. Realization of the deferred tax asset is dependent upon future earnings, with respect to which there is uncertainty as to the timing.

        In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, we evaluate both positive and negative evidence that may exist and consider whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, we provided a full valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets as we determined that it was more likely than not that none of the deferred tax assets would be realized.

        Our effective income tax rate was 0% in 2016 and 2015.

Effect of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

        For a full description of recent accounting pronouncements, including the expected dates of adoption and estimated effects on results of operations and financial condition, see Note 2 of our consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this prospectus.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market Rate Risk

        We are exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates.

Interest Rate Risk

        We hold our cash in cash and cash equivalents and certificates of deposits. We do not hold derivative financial instruments or equity securities. At December 31, 2016, we had $1.9 million of borrowings under our ABL Facility. A hypothetical 10% increase in borrowing interest rates at December 31, 2016 would not have had a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows in the year ended December 31, 2016.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

        We do not have any material foreign currency exchange rate risk because the majority of our transactions are denominated in U.S. dollars.

BUSINESS

Overview

        We are a leader in the manufacture of microdisplays using organic light emitting diode (OLED) technology. We design, develop, manufacture and market OLED miniature displays, which we refer to as OLED-on-silicon microdisplays, virtual imaging products that utilize OLED microdisplays, and related products. We also perform research in the OLED field. Our virtual imaging products integrate OLED technology with silicon chips to produce high-resolution microdisplays one-inch diagonally and smaller, which when viewed through a magnifier, create virtual images that appear comparable in size to that of a computer monitor or a large-screen television. Our products enable our original equipment manufacturer (OEM) customers to develop and market improved or new electronic products, especially products that are mobile and highly portable so that people have immediate access to information and can experience immersive forms of communications and entertainment. We believe that a key growth area for us is the consumer electronic OEM market. Our potential channels to this market include licensing of our direct patterning technology and partnering for the mass production of microdisplays. We believe that our direct patterning technology is a key differentiator for enabling next generation AR/VR hardware for the consumer and enterprise segments because of the brightness and the pixel density afforded by the technology. We also develop and manufacture night vision products for the consumer electronics, recreational, law enforcement and first responder markets, including a smart phone attachment and a wearable device.

        We believe that our OLED microdisplays offer a number of significant advantages over comparable liquid crystal microdisplays, including higher contrast, greater power efficiency, less weight, more compact size, and negligible image smearing. Using our active matrix OLED technology, many computer and electronic system functions can be built directly into the OLED microdisplay silicon backplane, resulting in compact, high resolution and power efficient systems. Already proven in military and commercial systems, our portfolio of OLED microdisplays deliver high-resolution, flicker-free virtual images that perform effectively even in extreme temperatures and high-vibration conditions. We also believe that our direct patterning technology gives us a substantial advantage over other OLED microdisplays because it allows us to produce microdisplays with the high brightness required for VR and AR. Traditional OLED microdisplays utilize white emitting OLED with color filters that lessen the intensity of emitted light by as much as 85%, significantly reducing brightness. Microdisplays manufactured by direct patterning do not require color filters to achieve color variations and allow for the application of more efficient OLED structures which achieve high brightness.

        We have developed our own intellectual property portfolio that includes patents, over 15 years of manufacturing know-how and proprietary technologies to create high performance OLED microdisplays. We believe our technology, intellectual property portfolio and position in the marketplace give us a leadership position in OLED and OLED-on-silicon microdisplay technology. We believe that we are one of only a few companies to market and produce significant quantities of high resolution, small molecule OLED-on-silicon microdisplays.

        We derive the majority of our revenue from sales of our OLED microdisplay products. We also earn revenue from government, commercial and consumer product development contracts that may complement and support our internal research and development programs. In addition, we generate sales from optics and microdisplays combined with optics. Beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2017, we introduced two consumer night vision products, BlazeSpark and BlazeTorch, although revenue from these products to date has been minimal.

Our Industry

        A microdisplay typically has a screen size that is less than two inches in diagonal. The miniature size enables them to be used in a wide variety of applications that require a screen that takes up small

Table of Contents

space, like head-mounted displays (HMDs), viewfinders and digital cameras. Microdisplays are used across various industries including consumer electronics, enterprise/industrial, military, defense, aerospace, and healthcare. Microdisplays provide many advantages over other displays where small size is a requirement. Benefits include compact size, high brightness and resolution, low power consumption, and high contrast. Devices incorporating microdisplays include HMDs, smart glasses and headset products. Sales of AR and VR gear, which include HMD, smart glasses and headsets, are estimated to exceed $26 billion by 2021, according to Technavio.

        Display quality is widely accepted as a key performance driver for ensuring the optimal user experience. We believe that this requirement for better display quality will result in next generation products in consumer electronics, defense, aviation, medical and industrial/enterprise segments of the market which utilize microdisplays.

Our Technology Platforms

Small Molecule, Top-Emitting Active Matrix OLED Technology

        Our microdisplays are currently based upon active matrix small molecule OLED technology, which we refer to as active matrix OLED (AMOLED). Our AMOLED technology uniquely permits millions of individual low-voltage light sources to be built on low-cost, silicon computer chips to produce single color, white or full-color display arrays. Using our OLED technology, many computer and video electronic system functions can be built directly into the silicon chip, under the OLED film, resulting in a compact, integrated system with lower overall system costs relative to alternative technologies.

        OLEDs are thin films of stable organic materials that emit light of various colors when a voltage is impressed across them. OLEDs are emissive devices, which means that they create their own light, as opposed to liquid crystal displays, which require a separate light source. As a result, our OLED microdisplays use less power and deliver much higher contrast and fuller color than liquid crystal microdisplays. Unlike liquid crystal displays which use crossed polarizers to generate black level, OLED displays exhibit an extremely high contrast ratio which results in very vivid images. Because the light they emit is Lambertian, which means that it appears equally bright from most forward directions, a moderate movement in the eye does not change the image brightness or color as it does in other technologies.

        Our technology is based on integrating a proprietary OLED device with a specially designed silicon backplane to produce efficient and high performance AMOLED microdisplays. Our OLED displays incorporate a proprietary, top-emitting structure for our OLED devices that enables OLED displays to be built on opaque silicon integrated circuits rather than only on glass. Our OLED microdisplays emit full visible spectrum (white) light that is isolated with color filters to create color images. Our microdisplays have a brightness that can be greater than that of a typical notebook computer and can have a potential useful life of over 50,000 operating hours in certain applications. New processes and device improvements, such as our OLED-XLS™ technology, offer even better performance for brightness, efficiency, and lifespan. We have developed extremely bright OLED microdisplays using our patented and copyrighted direct patterning (dPd) technology and have demonstrated color high resolution (WUXGA) microdisplays with brightness in excess of 5,000 nits, which is the world's highest resolution and brightness. In addition to our AMOLED technology, we have developed compact optic and lens enhancements, which when coupled with the microdisplay, provide the high quality large screen appearance that we believe a large proportion of the marketplace demands.

        We believe that our AMOLED technology provides significant advantages over other microdisplay technologies in our targeted markets. We believe these key advantages include:

•

High brightness



•

Sharp contrast

50

Table of Contents

•

Low power consumption for improved battery life and longer system life;



•

High-speed performance resulting in clear video images;



•

Compact form factor and light weight;



•

Wide angle light emission resulting in large apparent screen size and more immersive experience;



•

Wide operating temperature range;



•

Good environmental stability (vibration and humidity); and



•

Low manufacturing cost at higher volumes.

Prism Optics

        We sell high quality, large viewing angle prism optics with a wide range for eye positioning, both of which are essential for using our displays in immersive near-eye systems. We have developed advanced molded plastic prism lenses that permit our AMOLED microdisplays to provide large field of view images that can be viewed for extended periods with reduced eye-fatigue. We have developed an additional prism optic for a project that will pair with our SXGA096 display.

Our Market Opportunities

        We target the military, aviation, industrial/medical, and consumer markets although many of our products cater to multiple markets. Within each of these market sectors we believe that our OLED microdisplays, when combined with compact optic lenses, can become a key component for a variety of mobile electronic products. Many of these products employ head-wearable displays that incorporate microdisplays mounted in or on eyeglasses, goggles, simple headbands, helmets, or hardhats, and are often referred to as head-mounted displays (HMDs) or headsets. Head-wearable displays may block out surroundings for a fully immersive experience, or be designed to "see-through" or "see-around" to the user's surroundings. They may contain one (monocular) or two (binocular) displays. We have leveraged our experience in developing for military and commercial aviation helmets and believe this experience will allow us to more rapidly introduce displays suitable for specialized/high-end mass market consumer VR/AR applications than our competitors.

Consumer

        We believe that the most significant driver of the longer term near-eye virtual imaging microdisplay market is the growing consumer demand for mobile access to larger volumes of information and entertainment in smaller and more affordable packages. This desire for mobility has resulted in the development of mobile video personal viewer products in three general categories: (i) immersive VR headset-application platforms such as accessories for gaming computers, portable digital optical disc (DVD) systems and wearable telepresence systems; (ii) AR electronic viewers incorporated in products such as data glasses and personal viewers for cell phones; and (iii) low cost thermal and low light imaging and scopes for hunting and other outdoor activities.

        As we manufacture our OLED displays in higher volumes at reduced costs and capitalize on our direct patterning technology, we believe that our products will be increasingly well positioned to compete with and displace liquid crystal displays and cell phone size displays in the rapidly growing consumer market, particularly as demand expands for sophisticated mobile personal viewers offering higher resolution and better image quality for VR and AR applications. Users of VR HMD's are demanding a fully immersive experience. We believe our direct patterning technology addresses the critical performance parameters for next generation VR HMDs, including higher brightness, sharper resolution, lower power consumption and longer life. Our strategy for addressing the consumer mass

market includes developing partnerships with both Tier One consumer companies and high volume production manufacturing companies.

        Potential applications for these personal viewers include handheld personal computers and mobile devices, such as smartphones, whose small, direct view screens limit the amount of information that can be displayed but which are now capable of running more complex software applications. Examples encompass applications where hands-free viewing is desired such as maintenance activities; entertainment and gaming video headset systems; and night time or thermal imaging devices for hunting, camping, and other outdoor activities. Current commercial products equipped with our OLED microdisplays in these sectors include those produced by Trijicon (IR Defense), among others. In addition, in late 2015, we entered into a HMD technology licensing agreement with a Tier One consumer electronics company which includes the use of our 2K × 2K displays in its consumer headsets. In December 2016, we entered into an agreement with a Tier One company interested in incorporating our proprietary direct patterning technology into potential headset products.

        In the first quarter 2017, we introduced two night vision products, BlazeSpark and BlazeTorch. These products were designed for recreational use as well as hobbyists, and outdoor enthusiasts. Additionally, the products can be used by utilities and law enforcement agencies to expand or enhance their night-time activities.

        Properly implemented, we believe that head-mounted systems incorporating our microdisplays increase the user's effectiveness by allowing hands-free operation and increasing situational awareness with sufficient brightness for use in daylight, yet controllable for nighttime light security. As a COTS (commercial off-the-shelf) component, OLED microdisplays possess performance characteristics important to military and other demanding commercial and industrial applications, including high contrast, wide dimming range, shock and vibration resistance and insensitivity to high G-forces. The design features and performance characteristics of our OLED microdisplays reduce the size, weight, and power required by current and future military systems, while also providing a wide operating temperature range. The image does not suffer from flicker or color breakup in vibrating environments and the microdisplay's wide viewing angle allows ease of viewing for long periods of time. Most importantly, our OLED's low power consumption reduces battery weight and, for military applications, increases allowed mission length. The OLED's wide operating temperature range is of special interest for military applications because the display can turn on instantly at temperatures far below freezing and can operate at very high temperatures, such as in desert conditions. We believe that our microdisplay products provide power advantages over other microdisplay technologies, particularly liquid crystal displays which require backlights and heaters and cannot provide instant-on capabilities at low temperatures. Incorporating OLED microdisplays into aviation helmets has been made possible by the high brightness of the OLED technology that we have developed.

        Our products' military applications primarily fall into three broad areas: (1) helmet-mounted and handheld displays for situational awareness and data; (2) night vision/thermal imaging goggles, rifles and targeting sights, and handheld viewers; and (3) training and simulation devices. These systems are also well suited for demanding operations such as urban security, homeland defense, and fire and rescue.

Situational Awareness

        Our OLED microdisplays have been incorporated into a broad range of U.S. and foreign military situational awareness programs. Situational awareness products include head-mounted displays that are used to display images, including digital map, sensor imagery and pilot aviation information. In addition, handheld imagers provide improved situational awareness on the battlefield, as well as in

training and simulation. These products can also be combined with a weapon system to give the user the capability to select targets without direct exposure.

Night Vision/Thermal Imaging

        Night vision goggles allow the user to see in low light conditions. Most versions include two different technologies: infrared/thermal and image intensification. Third and fourth generation military devices generally use some combination of the two technologies. Thermal imagers detect infrared energy (heat) and convert it into an electronic signal. The resulting signal needs to be presented on a display. Heat sensed by an infrared camera can be very precisely quantified, or measured, allowing the user to not only monitor thermal performance, but also identify and evaluate the relative severity of heat-related problems. Thermal imaging systems can be stand-alone handheld systems or integrated as part of the aiming mechanism for a larger system. Advances in sensor technology, both in sensitivity and resolution as well as economic efficiency, have been the driving factors in the adoption of thermal technologies for military applications. We believe the power efficiency and environmental ruggedness of our products are strong competitive advantages, particularly for smaller handheld non-cooled systems. Fielded products incorporating our OLED microdisplays include Harris' and L3 Insight's Enhanced Night Vision Goggle II, the Enhanced Night Vision Goggle III, Family of Weapons Sights—Individual and Crew Served for the U.S. Army, L-3's Javelin medium-range anti-tank missile system, Northrop Grumman's Lightweight Laser Designator Rangefinders, Thales' SOPHIE™ handheld thermal imagers, and Thales' MINIE™, LUCIE™, and MONIE™ night vision goggles.

Training and Simulation

        Our OLED microdisplays are purchased by OEMs for use with their simulation and training products. The companies that incorporate our OLEDs into their training and simulation applications include Quantum 3D, Rockwell Collins, Intevac Vision Systems, and Sensics, among others. Our displays have been commercialized and prototyped for situational awareness and night vision/thermal imaging applications by military systems integrators, including Elbit, L-3 Communications, Intevac Vision Systems, Nivisys, BAE Systems Technology, DRS, Harris (formerly Excelis/ITT), Intevac Vision Systems, Qioptiq, Rockwell Collins, SA Photonics, Saab, Sagem DS, and Thales, among others.

Commercial, Industrial, and Medical

        We believe that a wide variety of commercial and industrial markets offer significant opportunities for our products due to increasing demand for instant data accessibility in mobile workplace environments and due to the benefit of mobile displays to enhance visual performance. Examples of existing and potential microdisplay applications include enhanced visualization for ocular surgery, mobile ultrasound, mobile nondestructive testing, enhanced vision for those with visual impairments, immediate access to inventory or maintenance and construction manuals, routine quality assurance inspection, and real-time viewing of images and data for a variety of applications. As an example, a user wearing an HMD while operating test equipment, such as an oscilloscope, can view technical data while simultaneously probing printed circuit boards. Current commercial products equipped with our OLED microdisplays in these sectors include those produced by BCF, Liteye, FLIR Systems, Nordic NeuroLab, VRmagic GmbH, and Sensics, among others.

Our Products

        Our first commercial microdisplay, the SVGA+ OLED, was introduced in 2001. In 2008, we introduced engineering samples of our SXGA120 OLED microdisplays and began selling significant quantities of the product in 2010. In late 2011, we began selling pre-production samples of the WUXGA OLED microdisplay which is now qualified and in production. In 2014, we released our Digital SVGA, and in 2015, we released our smaller pixel pitch digital SXGA, SXGA096, as well as an

upgrade to the SXGA120 and WUXGA. Our OLED display products are being designed in products to be manufactured by OEM customers for a wide variety of military, medical, industrial, and consumer applications. We offer our products to OEMs and other buyers as both separate components, integrated bundles coupled with our own optics, or complete systems. We also offer engineering support to enable customers to quickly integrate our products into their own product development programs and design customized displays with resolutions or features to meet specific customer requirements. In 2015, we announced the development of a prototype 2K × 2K immersive headset that uses our prototype 2K × 2K display. During 2016, we demonstrated the world's first highest brightness (~4,500 cd/m2) and highest resolution (1920x1200 pixels) microdisplay using our proprietary direct patterning method. With the addition of these new displays, we now offer a wide variety of OLED microdisplay options to our customers.

SVGA+ OLED Microdisplay Series (Super Video Graphics Array of 852x600)

        The SVGA+ OLED Microdisplay Series is a 0.62 inch diagonal microdisplay that has a resolution of 852x600 triad pixels (1.53 million picture elements). The display also has an internal NTSC monochrome video decoder for low power night vision systems. The SVGA+ Rev3 OLED-XL microdisplay is a power efficient OLED display solution for near-eye personal viewer applications which uses less than 115 mW power in monochrome for thermal imaging applications, and lower than 175 mW at 200 cd/m2 for full color video.

Digital SVGA OLED-XL

        The Digital SVGA or DSVGA OLED-XL was released for production in 2014. This is an 800 × 600 display with 15 micron pixels and a 0.6 inch diagonal. It has all the benefits of our other digital displays, including lower power (100 mW monochrome and 135 mW color), high (10,000 to 1) contrast, and also features a digital composite signal interface, enabling a minimal physical interface for color applications.

SXGA096 OLED-XL/XLS (Super eXtended Graphics Array, 1280 x 1024)

        The SXGA096 display was introduced in 2015. It features a 9.6-micron color pixel and was designed with the same level of feature integration as the DSVGA microdisplay, as well as a low pin-count, high speed LVDS (Low Voltage Differential Signaling) data interface. The compactness and high information content of the SXGA096 makes it ideal for small form factor applications such as commercial headsets and smart weapon sights. This microdisplay incorporates OLED XLS technology more than doubling the OLED XL brightness. This expands the range of optical solutions that can be used with this display to result in smaller and lighter display modules.

SXGA OLED-XL (Super eXtended Graphics Array, 1280 x 1024)

        Our SXGA OLED microdisplay with a 0.77 inch diagonal active area provides 3,932,160 sub-pixels in an active area. The display's pixel array comprises triads of vertical sub-pixels stacked side by side to make up each 12 × 12mm color pixel. The SXGA OLED-XL microdisplay offers digital signal processing, requiring less than 200mW under typical operation. The supported video formats are SXGA, 720p, DVGA (through 1280 × 960 pixel doubling), and both frame sequential and field sequential stereovision.

VGA OLED-XL (Video Graphics Array, 640 x 480)

        The VGA OLED-XL microdisplay was introduced to our product line in 2011 and is our smallest (0.5 inches) and lowest powered (<60 mW monochrome/<100 mW color). The VGA OLED-XL utilizes the same voltage pixel drive architecture and "Deep Black" technology as the SXGA and

WUXGA designs and includes motion artifact reduction technology like the WUXGA. Also like the SXGA and WUXGA, the VGA provides a FPGA driver design for maximum flexibility and versatility. The VGA interface is 30-bit digital RGB.

WUXGA OLED-XL (Widescreen Ultra eXtended Graphics Array, 1920 x 1200)

        Our WUXGA OLED-XL microdisplay provides higher resolution than most HD (High Definition) flat screen televisions. With a triad sub-pixel structure this display is built of 7,138,360 active dots at 3.2 microns each. The WUXGA OLED-XL is built upon the voltage pixel drive approach first developed for the SXGA OLED-XL, which provides improved uniformity, ultra-high contrast (measured at greater than 100,000:1) and lower power. The advanced WUXGA design features our proprietary "Deep Black" architecture that ensures that off-pixels are truly black, automatically optimizes contrast under all conditions, and delivers better pixel to pixel uniformity. The WUXGA OLED-XL includes a low-power, low-voltage-differential-signaling (LVDS) serial interface and the overall display power requirement is typically less than 350 mW running standard video. Also included is our proprietary motion enhancement technology which smooths video display and virtually eliminates unwanted artifacts. Like the SXGA, the WUXGA provides a FPGA driver design available on a separate, lower power driver board, or as source code for integration into end product electronics giving OEM developers maximum versatility and flexibility. On-board circuitry ensures consistent color and brightness over a wide range of operating temperatures.

Lens and Design Reference Kits

        We offer a prism optic with mounting brackets or combined with OLED microdisplays to form an optic-display module. We provide design reference kits, which include a microdisplay and associated electronics, to help OEMs evaluate our microdisplay products and to assist their efforts to build and test new products incorporating our microdisplays.

Integrated Modules

        We provide near-eye virtual imaging modules that incorporate our OLED-on-silicon microdisplays with our lenses and electronic interfaces for integration into OEM products. We have shipped customized modules to several customers, some of which have incorporated our products into their own commercial products.

Headsets

        In 2014, we developed and demonstrated a new Immersive Head Mounted Display (IHMD) with a different look and superior performance than other VR HMDs. Compared to other VR HMDs, it has four times the resolution, no pixelization, and a much smaller form factor. It incorporated our earlier 2K by 2K high-resolution OLED microdisplay prototype and patented optics, giving it significantly sharper resolution than a cell phone display and conventional optics. The field of view (FOV) of the IHMD exceeds one hundred (100) degrees and it has a resolution of four (4) megapixels per eye. We entered into a nonexclusive license agreement in 2015 to allow an undisclosed company to use the technology in this IHMD for their own applications and may incorporate our 2K × 2K displays in headsets that use the technology. The retrofit of our latest 2K × 2K microdisplay prototypes into the original design of this IHMD is being considered as a means to showcase their superior performance and higher resolution.

        We are subject to certain export control laws, including the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). Certain of our products may be deemed to be controlled for export by the U.S. Commerce Department's Bureau of Industry and Security under the EAR or by the U.S. State Department's Directorate of Defense Trade Controls

(DDTC) under the ITAR. Most of our ITAR products are custom displays developed for a specific military program or purpose. Failure to comply with these export control laws can lead to severe penalties, both civil and criminal, and can include debarment from contracting with the U.S. government.

Night Vision Smartphone Camera Attachment and Goggles

        In 2016, we announced night vision products for the consumer markets and began limited sales in the first quarter of 2017. A smartphone camera attachment allows consumers to see clear, high-resolution images in the dark. A companion application allows users to record and live stream content directly to our social media sites and share with other sites. We also developed a wearable device that utilizes our OLED microdisplay technology to provide hands-free operation for night-time activities with the capability to record and upload content. We are completing the development of these products and pursuing channels of distribution.

Government Contract Funding

        We derive a portion of our revenue from funding that we receive pursuant to research contracts or subcontracts funded by various agencies of the U.S. government.

        In 2014, we were awarded a $5 million contract to develop and produce an ultra-high resolution, high brightness, high contrast, full color OLED microdisplay at a low unit cost. This Defense-wide Manufacturing Science & Technology award, also known as ManTech, is funded by the Undersecretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics and will be administered by the U.S. Army RDECOM CERDEC Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate Science and Technology Division. We earned a substantial portion of our R&D contract revenue in 2016 from this project and we expect to complete it by May 2018.

        In 2015, we were awarded two new development programs that continued into 2016. The first program is a Small Business Technology Transfer program with the Air Force Research Laboratory and the second is a Small Business Innovation Research program with the United States Special Operations Command. Both programs were for investigating improved OLED micro display design and performance and were completed in 2016.

        Our contracts with the U.S. government require us to conduct the research effort described in the statement of work section of the contract. These contracts may be modified or terminated at the discretion of the government and are subject to authorization, appropriation and allocation of the required funding on an annual basis.

Our Strategy

        Our strategy is to strengthen our leadership position as a worldwide supplier of microdisplays and virtual imaging technology solutions for applications in high growth segments of the consumer, military and commercial electronics industry by capitalizing on our experience and expertise in active matrix OLED technology and silicon wafer design. We also plan to continue our participation in U.S. government funded Contract Research and Development programs which allows us to continue to enhance our technology. We aim to provide microdisplays and complementary accessories to enable OEM customers serving a variety of markets, including commercial, military and medical, to develop and manufacture new and enhanced electronic products. With the announcement of our BlazeSpark and BlazeTorch consumer night vision products, we have also entered the consumer electronics,

Table of Contents

recreational, law enforcement and first responder markets. Some key elements of our strategy to achieve these objectives include the following:

•

Develop OEM and mass production partnerships in the consumer HMD market.  As the consumer VR market matures, eMagin technology is positioned well to address the requirements of this segment. Developing customer partners is key to establishing eMagin as the market leader for next generation displays for the consumer HMD market. In addition, executing on mass production partnerships will position us to capture a market predicted to experience significant growth through the 2020s.



•

Strengthen our technology leadership.  As the first to exploit AMOLED microdisplays and the only participant in U.S. government contract research and development programs for OLED microdisplays, we believe that we enjoy a significant advantage in bringing this technology to market. By continuing to invest in research and development, and protecting our intellectual property, we expect to further develop performance improvements and provide a competitive edge for our customers who integrate our displays into their end products.



•

Optimize microdisplay manufacturing efficiencies while protecting proprietary processes and partner with large volume manufacturers to bring our technology into high volume production.  We intend to reduce our production costs primarily by improving manufacturing yields and lowering fixed costs through reduced cycle time and increased automation as well as equipment upgrades. We outsource certain portions of microdisplay production, such as chip fabrication, to minimize our costs and time to market. We intend to retain the OLED-related processes in-house, where we have a core competency and manufacturing expertise. We also believe that by keeping these processes under tight control we can better protect our proprietary technology and process know-how. We believe that this strategy will also enhance our ability to continue to optimize and customize processes and devices to meet customer needs. In order to address emerging high volume consumer electronics OLED microdisplay requirements, we are actively seeking manufacturing partners who can help us realize that objective.



•

Build and maintain strong design capabilities.  We employ in-house design capabilities supplemented by outsourced design services. Building and maintaining this capability allows us to reduce engineering costs, accelerate the design process and enhance design accuracy to respond to our customers' needs as new markets develop. Contracting third party design support to meet demand and for specialized design skills may also remain a part of our overall long term strategy. Given these capabilities, we continue to look for opportunities to add value to our displays to increase revenue.



•

Leverage strategic relationships.  External relationships serve an important role in our research and development efforts. Suppliers, equipment vendors, government organizations, contract research groups, external design companies, customer and corporate partners, consortia, and university relationships all enhance the overall research and development effort and bring us new ideas and solutions. In addition, we participate in industry associations such as the Society for Information Display; SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics; the Army Aviation Association of America; and the National Defense Industrial Association; among others. We believe that strategic relationships allow us to determine better the demands of the marketplace and, as a result, allow us to focus our research and development activities on satisfying our customers' evolving requirements.



•

Enter consumer electronics markets.  We announced the launch of our consumer night vision products, the BlazeSpark smart phone accessory and BlazeTorch night vision goggles in late 2016 and began limited sales in the first quarter of 2017. We plan to sell to consumers and to build relationships with commercial, law enforcement and first responder customers who have expressed interest in our products.

Sales and Marketing

        We primarily provide our OLED display and optics components to OEMs to incorporate into their branded products and sell through their own well-established distribution channels. We have traditionally marketed and sold our products to customers through targeted selling, promotions, select advertising and attendance at trade shows. We identify companies with end products and applications for which we believe our products will provide a key differentiator. Marketing efforts focus on identifying prospects and communicating the product performance attributes foremost in the minds of purchasing decision-makers. We believe that this approach positions us to achieve the highest possible return on investment for our marketing expense.

        We market our products in North America, Asia, and Europe directly from our sales office located at our Hopewell Junction, NY facilities. We also have distributors in China and Korea.

        An OEM design cycle typically requires between six and 36 months, depending on the uniqueness of the market, the complexity of the end product or, in the case of military OEM customers, government procurement schedules. Because our microdisplays are the main functional component that defines many of our customers' end products, we work closely with customers to provide technical assistance throughout the product evaluation and integration process.

        Our consumer night vision products, which became available for sale in the first quarter of 2017, are marketed directly to the consumer through leveraging social media, trade shows, coverage by industry and consumer publications, and through our web site. We also market our products directly to recreational venues which may purchase our products for use by and sale to their customers and directly to industrial and commercial end users.

Customers

        Customers for our products include both large multinational and smaller OEMs. We maintain relationships with OEMs in a diverse range of industries encompassing the military, industrial, medical, and consumer market sectors. The following table estimates net product revenues in the market sectors.

        The following table represents the domestic and international revenues as a percentage of total net revenues:

        In 2016, there was one customer that accounted for 11% of total revenues. In 2015, there were 2 customers that accounted for 12% and 11% of total revenues.

Backlog

        As of December 22, 2017, we had a backlog of approximately $11.1 million. This backlog primarily consists of non-binding customer purchase orders and purchase agreements with expected delivery dates

58

Table of Contents

during 2018, but does not include expected revenue from research and development contracts or expected NRE (non-recurring engineering) programs under development. Most purchase orders are subject to rescheduling or cancellation by the customer with no or limited penalties. We believe that the backlog metric is of limited utility in predicting future sales because many of our OEM customers operate on a ship-to-order basis. Variations in the magnitude and duration of purchase orders and customer delivery requirements may result in substantial fluctuations in backlog from period to period.

Facilities

Manufacturing

        Our manufacturing facilities are located about 70 miles north of New York City in Hopewell Junction, NY. We lease approximately 37,000 square feet of space which houses our own equipment for OLED microdisplay fabrication and research and development, includes a 16,300 square foot class 10 clean room space, additional lower level clean room testing space, assembly space and administrative offices. The lease expires in 2024.

        Facilities services provided by the lessor include our clean room, pure gases, high purity de-ionized water, compressed air, chilled water systems, and waste disposal support. This infrastructure provided by our lease provides us with many of the resources of a larger corporation without the added overhead costs. It further allows us to focus our resources more efficiently on our product development and manufacturing goals.

        We believe manufacturing efficiency is an important factor for success, especially in the consumer markets. Although we currently have the equipment needed for profitable production in place, we purchased $1.4 million, $1.2 million and $1.1 million in 2016, 2015 and the first nine months of 2017, respectively, of additional equipment mainly related to manufacturing to increase capacity and yield and to meet expected demand for our microdisplays.

        Our consumer night vision products are manufactured at contract manufacturing facilities located in Singapore and China and incorporate displays manufactured at our facilities in Hopewell Junction, NY, and components and subassemblies manufactured by domestic and foreign suppliers.

Other

        We lease approximately 2,000 square feet of office space for design and product development in Santa Clara, CA and the lease expires in 2019.

Competition

        The industry in which we operate is highly competitive. We face competition from legacy technologies such as transmissive liquid crystal displays and liquid crystal on silicon displays as well as from alternative flat panel display technologies such as virtual scanning retinal displays. There are many large and small companies that manufacture or have in development products based on these technologies.

        There are a few manufacturers of high resolution OLED microdisplays that produce microdisplays that compete with our microdisplay products. They are Yunnan OLiGHTECK Opto-Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. in China and MicroOLED in France. Both are shipping OLED microdisplays into the market. Sony Mobile Display Corp., in Japan, produces OLED microdisplays for integration into Sony's own higher-level systems such as digital cameras and HMDs and is now selling microdisplays to some commercial customers. In addition, in early 2017, Kopin Corporation announced a 2k × 2k microdisplay which includes OLEDs sourced from an existing manufacturer.

59

Table of Contents

        If other new OLED-based companies enter our markets with directly relevant display designs and without manufacturing and reliability issues, we will face additional competition, although we believe that our progress to date in this area gives us a significant advantage.

        We believe that competition will come from liquid crystal on silicon displays, small transmissive liquid crystal displays, and OLED microdisplays manufactured by competitors. While we believe our OLED technology is technically superior by providing higher quality images, greater environmental ruggedness, reduced electronics cost and complexity, and improved power efficiency microdisplays, there is no assurance that we will continue to be the dominant OLED microdisplay supplier. Competition can also come from inorganic micro LEDs, a technology still in the development stage but which could become a major competitor if all the technological hurdles are overcome.

        Our consumer night vision products may face competition from a variety of electronics manufacturers that primarily offer thermal imaging cameras and monoculars. These include manufacturers of thermal imaging video cameras and monoculars. These devices are traditionally more expensive, heavier and larger than our BlazeSpark and BlazeTorch night vision products and are primarily designed for commercial users.

        Our BlazeSpark and BlazeTorch products rely on a less expensive digital CMOS sensor and software image processing to produce viewable images though either smart phone displays or our proprietary OLED display and prism technology. While we believe our digital process technology, compact size, appealing designs, and streaming platforms offer advantages for serving consumer markets, it is possible that existing manufacturers of military and tactical night vision systems may offer consumer products, or other manufacturers may develop innovative technologies, that create increased competition.

Intellectual Property

        We believe we have developed our own intellectual property portfolio of patents, trade secrets and manufacturing know-how. Our intellectual property includes 34 patents and 29 patent applications. It is important to protect our investment in technology by obtaining and enforcing intellectual property rights, including rights under patent, trademark, trade secret and copyright laws. We seek to protect inventions we consider significant by applying for patents in the United States and other countries when appropriate. The U.S. government holds licenses to much of our technology as a result of its funding a significant portion of our research and development.

        Our intellectual property covers a wide range of materials, device structures, processes, and fabrication techniques, primarily concentrated in the following areas:

•

OLED Devices, Architecture, Structures, and Processes;



•

Display Color Processing and Sealing;



•

Active Matrix Circuit Methodologies and Designs;



•

Lenses and Tracking (Eye and Head);



•

Ergonomics and Industrial Design;



•

Wearable Computer Interface Methodology;



•

Legacy Field Emission and General Display Technologies; and



•

Head-mounted display technology.

        We believe that, in addition to patent protection, our success is dependent upon trade secrets, technical expertise and know-how. To protect this information and know-how from unauthorized use or disclosure, we use nondisclosure agreements and other measures to protect our proprietary rights, and

60

Table of Contents

we require all employees, and where appropriate, contractors, consultants, advisors and collaborators to enter into confidentiality and non-competition agreements. We believe that our intellectual property portfolio, coupled with our strategic relationships and accumulated manufacturing know-how in OLED, gives us a significant advantage over potential competitors.

Employees

        At September 30, 2017, we had a total of 98 employees, of whom 95 were full-time employees. None of our employees are represented by a labor union. We have not experienced any work stoppages and consider our relations with our employees to be good.

Legal Proceedings

        From time to time and in the ordinary course of business, we are subject to various claims, charges and litigation. The outcome of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty and some lawsuits, claims or proceedings may be disposed of unfavorably to us, which could materially affect our financial condition or results of operations.

        During 2015, we received a letter from an attorney representing a former employee claiming damages for age discrimination and wrongful termination. In September 2016, this former employee commenced action against the Company in Superior Court for the State of Washington. In February 2017, the former employee's counsel sent a discovery request to the Company. In October 2017, the parties reached a tentative settlement, subject to payment of an amount not material to the Company, documentation of the terms and the expiration of a revocation period.

Committees Established by the Board

        The Board of Directors has standing Audit, Compensation, and Governance and Nominating Committees. Information concerning the function of each Board committee follows.

Audit Committee

        The Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing management's implementation of effective internal accounting and financial controls, supervising matters relating to audit functions, reviewing and setting internal policies and procedures regarding audits, accounting and other financial controls, reviewing the results of our audit performed by the independent public accountants, and evaluating and selecting the independent public accountants. The Audit Committee has adopted an Audit Committee Charter which is posted on our Corporate Governance landing page under the tab labeled "Investors" on our website at http://www.emagin.com. The information on our website is not part of this prospectus. The current members of the Audit Committee are Ellen Richstone (Chair), Paul Cronson, Leslie G. Polgar and Stephen M. Seay. The Board has determined that Ms. Richstone is an "audit committee financial expert" as defined by the SEC. During 2016, the Audit Committee held nine meetings in person or through conference calls.

Governance and Nominating Committee

        The Governance and Nominating Committee is responsible for considering potential Board members, nominating Directors for election to the Board, implementing the Company's corporate governance policies, and for all other purposes outlined in the Governance and Nominating Committee Charter, which is posted on our Corporate Governance landing page under the tab labeled "Investors" on our website at http://www.emagin.com. The information on our website is not part of this prospectus. The current members of the Governance and Nominating Committee are Stephen M. Seay (Chair), Christopher Brody and Ellen Richstone. During 2016, the Governance and Nominating Committee held six meetings in person or through conference calls.

Board Meetings During Fiscal 2016

        During 2016, the Board of Directors held six meetings. Each director attended all of the meetings of the Board and all of the meetings held by all committees on which such director served. The Board also approved certain actions by unanimous written consent. In addition, all of the directors were present in person at the annual meeting of our stockholders in 2016.

Board Leadership Structure, Independence and Role in Risk Oversight

        The Company has separated the positions of Chair of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer. Given the demanding nature of these positions, the Board believes it is appropriate to separate the positions of Chair and Chief Executive Officer. Our Chair presides over all meetings of the Board of Directors, including executive sessions of the independent directors which are held at each Board meeting. She briefs the Chief Executive Officer on issues arising in executive sessions and communicates frequently with him on matters of importance. She has responsibility for shaping the Board's agenda and consults with all directors to ensure that the board agendas and board materials provide the Board with the information needed to fulfill its responsibilities. From time to time she may also represent the Company in interactions with external stakeholders at the discretion of the Board.

        The Board of Directors has determined that each of our current directors, except for Mr. Sculley, is an "independent director" as that term is defined in the listing standards of the NYSE American LLC. The Board of Directors has also determined that each member of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Governance and Nominating Committee meets the independence standards applicable to those committees prescribed by the NYSE American LLC and the SEC. In making this decision, the Board considered all relationships between the Company and the directors. The Board determined each such relationship, and the aggregate of such relationships, to be immaterial to the applicable director's ability to exercise independent judgment.

        Our Board has overall responsibility for risk oversight. The oversight is conducted primarily through committees of the Board of Directors, as disclosed in each of the descriptions of each of the committees above and in the charters of each of the committees, but the full Board of Directors has retained responsibility for general oversight of risks.

Code of Ethics and Business Conduct

        We have adopted a Code of Ethics and Business Conduct that applies to all of our directors, officers and employees, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and principal accounting officer. The Code of Ethics and Business Conduct is posted on our website at http://www.emagin.com. The information on our website is not part of this prospectus.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Executive Compensation Objectives

        The objectives of our compensation program are as follows:

•

Attract, hire and retain well-qualified executives.



•

Reward performance that drives substantial increases in shareholder value, as evidenced through both future operating profits and increased market price of our common shares.

Compensation Setting Process

        Role of Compensation Committee.    The role of the Compensation Committee is to oversee the Company's executive compensation strategy, oversee the administration of its executive compensation and its equity based compensation plans, review and approve the compensation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer, and oversee the Company's compensation plan for the Board of Directors. The Compensation Committee is comprised exclusively of independent outside directors and includes members with executive level experience in other companies. In addition, the Compensation Committee compares executive compensation practices of similar companies at similar stages of development.

        Role of Compensation Consultant.    The Compensation Committee has the authority to engage its own advisors to assist in carrying out its responsibilities. Towers Watson, a global professional services company, was previously engaged by Compensation Committee to assist in the identification and selection of peer companies for purposes of comparing compensation practices and to provide guidance regarding the amount and types of compensation that we provide to our executives and Board of Directors, and on other compensation-related matters. In 2016, the Compensation Committee did not engage or receive services from Towers Watson or any other compensation consultant.

        Role of Management.    In setting compensation for 2017, our Chief Executive Officer worked closely with the Compensation Committee and attended the meetings of the Compensation Committee. Our Chief Executive Officer made recommendations to the Compensation Committee regarding compensation of our executive officers other than himself. No executive officer participated directly in the final deliberations regarding his own compensation package.

        Use of Comparative Market Data.    The Compensation Committee approved the 2016 peer group consisting of the following 17 companies. These companies were selected as peers based on their being in a similar industry, primarily manufacturers of electronic components or electronic equipment and instruments, and of a generally similar size, based mainly on revenue.

Elements of Executive Compensation

        The compensation level of our executives generally reflects their level of experience and is designed to provide an incentive to positively affect our future operating performance and shareholder value.

        Base Salary.    Base salary is the primary fixed element in the Company's compensation program and is intended to provide an element of certainty and security to the Company's executive officers on an ongoing basis. Base salaries are determined based on the executive's level of experience, specialty and responsibility. Executive base salaries are reviewed on an annual basis by the Compensation Committee. Any increases in base salary are based on an evaluation of the individual's performance, level of responsibility and, when such information is available, the level of pay compared to the salaries paid to persons in similar positions in the Company's peer group or as shown in survey data.

        Mr. Sculley's base salary for 2016 was increased from $410,000 to $440,000, a 7.4% increase. Mr. Sculley's base salary had not been increased since 2014. In 2016, Dr. Ghosh received an increase in his base annual salaries of 6.7% from $300,000 to $320,000 and Mr. Lucas received an increase in his base annual salary of 2.9% from $345,000 to $355,000. Dr. Ghosh had not received an increase in his base annual salary since 2014 and Mr. Lucas had not received an increase in his base annual salary since joining the Company in September 2015.

        Equity.    Part of the compensation paid to our executives is in the form of equity, which to date has been exclusively through stock option grants. The stock option exercise price is generally equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. Therefore, a gain is only recognized if the value of the stock increases, which promotes a long term alignment between the interests of the Company's executives and its stockholders. In 2016, the Compensation Committee awarded option grants to several employees and to the named executive officers. In addition, the time-based vesting features of our stock options contribute to executive retention. During 2016, the Compensation Committee awarded Mr. Sculley an option to purchase 150,000 shares of our common stock and an option to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock to each of Dr. Ghosh and Mr. Lucas.

        Bonus.    Our named executive officers are eligible to receive cash incentive awards that are tied to achieving performance metrics established by the Compensation Committee at the beginning of each year, with input from the Chief Executive Officer. Target bonuses for the named executive officers are set as a percentage of base salary. The program is funded by establishing a pool based on a percentage of annual EBITDA, which is then adjusted by an overall company performance modifier based on company performance to reach the final bonus pool. The program creates incentive for the named executive officers to direct their efforts toward achieving specified company goals and individual goals. For 2016 annual cash incentive bonuses, the Compensation Committee established goals related to the Company's financial performance and attainment of strategic milestones and approved individual goals for executives. In 2016, we fell short of reaching the Company's financial performance goals. Although we did not achieve the pre-determined financial performance and strategic milestone goals, we achieved other strategic milestones related to the development of certain technologies and attainment of certain production milestones and certain individual milestones were achieved. Accordingly, our named executive officers were awarded discretionary cash bonuses totaling $40,000 for 2016 performance.

Anti-Hedging Policy

        Our insider trading policy prohibits directors and employees from engaging in short-term or speculative transactions such as trading in eMagin stock on a short-term basis, purchasing eMagin stock on the margin or engaging in short sales.

Clawback Policy

        Our Clawback Policy provides that the Company will seek to recover, under the direction of the Compensation Committee, any compensation paid to an executive officer of the Company which is subject to recovery under any law, government regulation or stock exchange listing requirement, through such deductions or clawback as may be required to be made pursuant to such law, government regulation or stock exchange listing requirement.

PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS

        The following table sets forth information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our capital stock, as of December 31, 2017, by:

•

each person, or group of affiliated persons, known by us to beneficially own more than 5% of our capital stock;



•

each of our directors;

each of our named executive officers; and



•

all of our current executive officers and directors as a group.

        The number of shares beneficially owned by each stockholder is determined under rules of the SEC and includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. Under these rules, beneficial ownership includes any shares as to which the individual or entity has sole or shared voting power or investment power. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by an individual or entity and the percentage ownership of that person, shares of common stock subject to options, warrants or other rights held by such person that are currently exercisable or will become exercisable within 60 days after December 31, 2017 are considered outstanding, although these shares are not considered outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

        We have based our calculation of the percentage of beneficial ownership prior to this offering on 35,020,523 shares of our common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2017. The calculation of the percentage of beneficial ownership after this offering gives effect to the issuance by us of 5,714,286 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 1,428,571 shares of common stock in this offering. The percentage ownership information assumes no exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option.

        Unless otherwise indicated, the address of all listed stockholders is c/o eMagin Corporation, 2070 Route 52, Hopewell Junction, New York 12533.

Preferred Stock

        We may issue shares of our preferred stock from time to time, in one or more series. The 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock authorized are undesignated as to preferences, privileges and restrictions. Our Board of Directors will determine the rights, preferences and privileges of the shares of each wholly unissued series, and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereon, including dividend rights, conversion rights, preemptive rights, terms of redemption or repurchase, liquidation preferences, sinking fund terms and the number of shares constituting any series or the designation of any series.

        On December 19, 2008, we filed a Certificate of Designations with the State of Delaware which designates 10,000 shares of our preferred stock as Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. The preferred

84

---

Table of Contents

stock has a stated value of $1,000 and has a conversion price of $0.75 per share. The preferred stock does not pay interest. The holders of the preferred stock are not entitled to receive dividends unless the Board of Directors declares a dividend for holders of our common stock and then the dividend shall be equal to the amount that such holder would have been entitled to receive if the holder converted its preferred stock into shares of our common stock. Each share of preferred stock has voting rights equal to (i) the number of shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of such shares of preferred stock at such time (determined without regard to the shares of common stock so issuable upon such conversion in respect of accrued and unpaid dividends on such share of preferred stock) when the preferred stock votes together with our common stock or any other class or series of our capital stock and (ii) one vote per share of preferred stock when such vote is not covered by the immediately preceding clause. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, the preferred stock is entitled to receive liquidation preference before the common stock. We may at our option redeem the preferred stock by providing the required notice to the holders of the preferred stock and paying an amount equal to $1,000 multiplied by the number of shares for all of such holder's shares of outstanding preferred stock to be redeemed.

        The General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the state of our incorporation, provides that the holders of preferred stock will have the right to vote separately as a class (or, in some cases, as a series) on an amendment to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation if the amendment would change the par value, the number of authorized shares of the class or the powers, preferences or special rights of the class or series so as to adversely affect the class or series, as the case may be. This right is in addition to any voting rights that may be provided for in the applicable certificate of designation.

        Our Board of Directors may authorize the issuance of preferred stock with voting or conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our common stock. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could, among other things, have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in our control and may adversely affect the market price of the common stock and the voting and other rights of the holders of common stock. Additionally, the issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of decreasing the market price of our common stock.

Delaware Law and Certain Charter and By-law Provisions

        Provisions of Delaware law, our certificate of incorporation and our by-laws may discourage, delay or prevent a merger, acquisition or other change in control that stockholders may consider favorable. These provisions may also prevent or delay attempts by stockholders to replace or remove our current management or members of our Board of Directors. These provisions include:

•

limitations on the removal of directors;



•

advance notice requirements for stockholder proposals and nominations;



•

the inability of stockholders to act by written consent or to call special meetings;



•

the ability of our Board of Directors to make, alter or repeal our by-laws; and



•

the authority of our Board of Directors to issue preferred stock with such terms as our Board of Directors may determine.

        In addition, we are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law statute. Section 203 prohibits a publicly-held Delaware corporation from engaging in a "business combination" with an "interested stockholder" for a period of three years after the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. A "business combination" includes mergers, asset sales and other transactions resulting in a financial

benefit to the interested stockholder. Subject to certain exceptions, an "interested stockholder" is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns, or within the prior three years did own, 15% or more of the corporation's voting stock.

        Our certificate of incorporation contains certain provisions permitted under Delaware General Corporation Law relating to the liability of directors. The provisions eliminate a director's liability for monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty, except in certain circumstances where such liability may not be eliminated under applicable law. Further, our certificate of incorporation contains provisions to indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware General Corporation Law.

        If a partnership holds shares of common stock or warrants, the tax treatment of a partner will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. A partnership holding shares of common stock or warrants or a partner therein should consult its own tax advisors as to the tax consequences of holding and disposing of the warrants or shares of common stock.

        YOU ARE URGED TO CONSULT YOUR TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO THE APPLICATION OF THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, AS WELL AS ANY TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF OUR COMMON STOCK OR WARRANTS ARISING UNDER THE U.S. FEDERAL ESTATE OR GIFT TAX RULES OR UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY U.S. STATE OR LOCAL OR ANY NON-U.S. OR OTHER TAXING JURISDICTION OR UNDER ANY APPLICABLE TAX TREATY.

Investment Unit

        The common stock and warrants should be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as an investment unit consisting of one share of our common stock and one warrant to acquire                        shares of our common stock. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the purchase price paid for each investment unit will be allocated between the shares of common stock and the warrants based on their respective relative fair market values. This allocation will be based upon our determination of the relative values of the warrants and of our common stock, which we will complete following the closing of this offering. Pursuant to this treatment, a holder's initial tax basis in the common stock and the warrants included in each unit should equal the portion of the purchase price of the unit allocated thereto. While uncertain, the IRS, by analogy to the rules relating to the allocation of the purchase price to components of a unit consisting of debt and equity, may take the position that this allocation is binding on you unless you explicitly disclose in a statement attached to your timely filed U.S. federal income tax return for the tax year that includes your acquisition date of the unit that your allocation of the purchase price is different than our allocation. This allocation is not binding, however, on the IRS or the courts. Prospective investors are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in a unit, and the allocation of the purchase price paid for a unit.

Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations for U.S. Holders of Common Stock and Warrants

Dividends on our Common Stock

        We do not expect to declare or pay any distributions on our common stock in the foreseeable future. If we do make any distributions on shares of our common stock, however, such distributions will be includible in the gross income of a U.S. holder as ordinary dividend income to the extent paid out of current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Any portion of a distribution in excess of current or accumulated earnings and profits would be treated as a return of the holder's tax basis in its common stock and then as gain from the sale or exchange of the common stock. Under current law, if certain requirements are met, a preferential U.S. federal income tax rate will apply to any dividends paid to a holder of common stock who is a U.S. individual.

        Distributions to U.S. holders that are corporate stockholders, constituting dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes, may qualify for the dividends received deduction, or DRD, which is

88

---

Table of Contents

generally available to corporate stockholders. No assurance can be given that we will have sufficient earnings and profits (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) to cause any distributions to be eligible for a DRD. In addition, a DRD is available only if certain holding periods and other taxable income requirements are satisfied.

Sale or Other Disposition of Common Stock or Warrants

        A U.S. holder of common stock or warrants will generally recognize gain or loss on the taxable sale, exchange, or other taxable disposition of such stock or warrants in an amount equal to the difference between such U.S. holder's amount realized on the sale and its adjusted tax basis in the common stock or warrants sold. A U.S. holder's amount realized should equal the amount of cash and the fair market value of any property received in consideration of its stock or warrants. The gain or loss should be capital gain or loss and should be long-term capital gain or loss if the common stock or warrants are held for more than one year at the time of disposition. The deductibility of capital losses for U.S. federal income tax purposes is subject to limitations under the Code. Under current law, long-term capital gain recognized by an individual U.S. holder is generally eligible for a preferential U.S. federal income tax rate.

Exercise of Warrants

        Except as discussed below with respect to a cashless exercise of a warrant or with respect to cash in lieu of a fractional share, upon the exercise of a warrant for common stock, a U.S. holder generally will not recognize gain or loss and will have a tax basis in the common stock received upon exercise equal to the U.S. holder's tax basis in the warrant, plus the exercise price of the warrant less any portion of the tax basis attributable to receipt of cash in lieu of a fractional share. The holding period for the common stock purchased pursuant to the exercise of a warrant will begin on the date following the date of exercise and will not include the period during which the U.S. holder held the warrant. Your receipt of cash in lieu of a fractional share of common stock will generally be treated as if you received the fractional share and then received such cash in redemption of such fractional share. Such redemption will generally result in the recognition of capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount of cash received and your adjusted U.S. federal income tax basis in the warrant that is allocable to the fractional share you are deemed to have received.

        The tax treatment of a cashless exercise of a warrant (i.e., where a portion of the holder's warrants are surrendered (the "Surrendered Warrants") as the exercise price for other warrants to be exercised (the "Exercised Warrants") is uncertain. Although the matter is not free from doubt, we intend to treat a cashless exercise as a tax-free transaction in which a holder's tax basis in the common stock received equals the sum of the U.S. holder's tax basis in the Surrendered Warrants and the Exercised Warrants. It is also possible, however, that a cashless exercise could be treated as a taxable transaction, and a U.S. Holder could recognize taxable gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the exercise price deemed paid and such U.S. holder's tax basis in the Surrendered Warrants. In this case, a U.S. Holder's tax basis in the common stock received would equal the sum of the exercise price deemed paid and the U.S. Holder's tax basis in the warrants exercised.

        The holding period for common stock acquired in a cashless exercise will depend on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a cashless exercise. The holding period for a share of common stock acquired in a cashless exercise would include the holding period of the Surrendered Warrants and Exercised Warrants if the cashless exercise is treated as a tax-free transaction. The holding period for a share of common stock acquired in a cashless exercise would begin on the day following the date of exercise if the cashless exercise is treated as a taxable exchange or treated similarly to a cash exercise (even if otherwise a tax-free transaction). Due to the absence of authority on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a cashless exercise, there can be no assurance which, if any, of the alternative tax consequences and holding periods described above would be adopted by the IRS or a court of law.

89

Table of Contents

Accordingly, holders are urged to consult their tax advisors as to the tax consequences of a cashless exercise.

Lapse of Warrants

        If a warrant is allowed to lapse unexercised, a U.S. holder will recognize a capital loss in an amount equal to its tax basis in the warrant. Such loss will be long-term capital loss if the warrant has been held for more than one year as of the date the warrant lapsed. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

Certain Adjustments to Warrants

        Under Section 305 of the Code, an adjustment to the number of shares of common stock that will be issued on the exercise of the warrants, or an adjustment to the exercise price of the warrants, may be treated as a constructive distribution to a U.S. holder of the warrants if, and to the extent that, such adjustment has the effect of increasing such U.S. holder's proportionate interest in our "earnings and profits" or assets, depending on the circumstances of such adjustment (for example, if such adjustment is to compensate for a distribution of cash or other property to our shareholders). In this regard, adjustments to the exercise price of a warrant made pursuant to a bona fide reasonable adjustment formula that has the effect of preventing dilution of the interest of the holders of the warrants should generally not result in a constructive distribution. Any deemed distribution would be taxable as a dividend, return of capital, or capital gain in accordance with the earnings and profits rules under the Code. It is not clear whether a constructive dividend deemed paid would be eligible for the preferential rates of U.S. federal income tax applicable to certain dividends paid to non-corporate beneficial owners. It is also not clear whether corporate beneficial owners would be entitled to claim the DRD with respect to any such constructive dividends.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

        Information reporting requirements generally will apply to payments of dividends on shares of common stock and may apply to the proceeds of a sale of common stock, in each case unless a U.S. holder is an exempt recipient, such as a corporation. Backup withholding will apply to those payments if a U.S. holder fails to provide its correct taxpayer identification number and certification of exempt status. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a refund or a credit against U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

        THE PRECEDING DISCUSSION OF U.S. FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS IS FOR GENERAL INFORMATION ONLY. IT IS NOT TAX ADVICE. EACH PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR SHOULD CONSULT ITS OWN TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE PARTICULAR U.S. FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL AND NON-U.S. TAX CONSEQUENCES OF PURCHASING, HOLDING AND DISPOSING OF OUR COMMON STOCK OR WARRANTS, INCLUDING THE CONSEQUENCES OF ANY PROPOSED CHANGE IN APPLICABLE LAWS.

UNDERWRITING

        Pursuant to the underwriting agreement with Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC, as representative of the underwriters named below, we have agreed to issue and sell, and the underwriters have severally and not jointly agreed to purchase, as principals, subject to compliance with all necessary legal requirements and the terms and conditions contained in the underwriting agreement, a total of fixed combinations, each consisting of a share and a warrant to purchase one quarter of one share, at the public offering price of $            per fixed combination, less the underwriting discounts and commissions, on the closing date. The public offering price shown on the cover of this prospectus was determined by negotiation between us and the representative and based on market conditions. The offering price stated on the cover page of this prospectus should not be considered an indication of the actual value of the securities sold in this offering. That price is subject to change as a result of market conditions and other factors and we cannot assure you that the securities sold in this offering can be resold at or above the public offering price. A copy of the underwriting agreement will be filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. The shares of common stock and warrants we are offering are being offered by the underwriters pursuant to the underwriting agreement, subject to certain conditions specified in the underwriting agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions of the underwriting agreement, we have agreed to sell to the underwriters, and each underwriter has severally agreed to purchase, at the public offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, the number of fixed combinations listed next to its name in the following table:

        The underwriters propose to offer the fixed combinations initially at the public offering price. After a reasonable effort has been made to sell all of the combinations at the public offering price, the underwriters may subsequently reduce the selling price to investors from time to time in order to sell any of the combinations remaining unsold. Any such reduction will not affect the proceeds received by us. Any securities sold by the underwriters to securities dealers will be sold at the public offering price less a selling concession not in excess of $            per fixed combination.

        The obligations of the underwriters under the underwriting agreement are several, and not joint, and may be terminated at their discretion at any time prior to any closing date upon the occurrence of certain events specified in the underwriting agreement, including standard "material adverse effect out" and "market out" rights of termination. In the event the underwriting agreement is terminated pursuant to its terms, we shall be obligated to pay the underwriters their actual and accountable out of pocket expenses related to the transactions contemplated therein then due and payable, including the fees and disbursements of underwriters' legal counsel, provided, however, that such expense cap in no way limits or impairs the indemnification and contribution provisions of the underwriting agreement.

Underwriting Discounts, Commissions and Expenses

        We have agreed to pay underwriting discounts and commissions equal to 6.35% of the aggregate gross proceeds raised in this offering.

91

Table of Contents

        The following table summarizes the underwriting discounts and commission to be paid to the underwriters by us.

        The underwriters are obligated to take up and pay for all the combinations offered by this prospectus if any are purchased under the underwriting agreement, subject to certain exceptions.

        We estimate the total expenses payable by us for this offering to be approximately $            which amount includes (i) the underwriting discounts and commissions of $            ($            if the underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full), (ii) reimbursement of the expenses of the representative up to $100,000, including the legal fees of the representative being paid by us and (iii) other estimated company expenses of approximately $            , which includes legal, accounting, printing costs and various fees associated with the registration and listing of our shares.

        As a condition precedent to the underwriters' obligation to close the offering, subject to customary exemptions permitting dispositions to trusts for the direct or indirect benefit of the director or officer and/or the immediate family of such person and pursuant to any existing 10b5-1 plans, all directors and officers of the Company shall be required to execute and deliver written undertakings in favor of the underwriters agreeing not to sell, transfer, pledge (other than as disclosed to the underwriters in writing), assign, or otherwise dispose of any of our securities owned, directly or indirectly by such directors or officers, until 90 days following the closing date, without the prior written consent of the representative.

Over-allotment Option

        We have granted to the representative an option exercisable not later than 30 days after the date of this prospectus to purchase up to a number of additional shares of common stock and/or warrants equal to 15% of the number of shares of common stock sold in the primary offering at the public offering price per share of common stock sold in the primary offering (excluding any shares of common stock underlying the warrants issued in this offering and any shares of common stock issued upon any exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option) and/or 15% of the warrants sold in the primary offering at the public offering price per share of common stock and the public offering price per warrant set forth on the cover page hereto less the underwriting discounts and commissions. The representative may exercise the option to cover over-allotments, if any, made in connection with this offering. If any additional shares of common stock and/or warrants are purchased, the representative will offer these shares of common stock and/or warrants on the same terms as those on which the other securities are being offered.

Lock-up Agreements

        Our executive officers and directors have agreed with the underwriters to be subject to a lock-up period of 90 days following the date of this prospectus. This means that, during the applicable lock-up period, such persons may not offer for sale, contract to sell, sell, distribute, grant any option, right or

92

---

Table of Contents

warrant to purchase, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of our common stock or any securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, shares of our common stock. Certain limited transfers are permitted during the lock-up period if the transferee agrees to these lock-up restrictions. Subject to certain exceptions, we have also agreed in the underwriting agreement that from the date of the underwriting agreement until 90 days thereafter, neither the Company nor any subsidiary of the Company shall issue, enter into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of common stock or common stock equivalents.

Stabilization, Short Positions and Penalty Bids

        The underwriters may engage in syndicate covering transactions, stabilizing transactions and penalty bids or purchases for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of our securities:

•

Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of securities in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions. Such a naked short position would be closed out by buying securities in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there could be downward pressure on the price of the securities in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering.



•

Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specific maximum.



•

Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the securities originally sold by the syndicate member are purchased in a stabilizing or syndicate covering transaction to cover syndicate short positions.

        These syndicate covering transactions, stabilizing transactions and penalty bids may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market prices of our securities or preventing or retarding a decline in the market prices of our securities. As a result, the price of our securities may be higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the open market. Neither we nor the underwriters make any representation or prediction as to the effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of our securities. These transactions may be effected on the NYSE American, in the over-the-counter market or on any other trading market and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

        In connection with this offering, the underwriters also may engage in passive market making transactions in our securities in accordance with Regulation M during a period before the commencement of offers or sales of shares of our securities in this offering and extending through the completion of the distribution. In general, a passive market maker must display its bid at a price not in excess of the highest independent bid for that security. However, if all independent bids are lowered below the passive market maker's bid that bid must then be lowered when specific purchase limits are exceeded. Passive market making may stabilize the market price of the securities at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

        Neither we nor the underwriters make any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the prices of our securities. In addition, neither we nor the underwriters make any representation that the underwriters will engage in these transactions or that any transactions, once commenced will not be discontinued without notice.

Indemnification

        We have agreed, pursuant to the underwriting agreement, to indemnify the underwriters, and each dealer selected by each underwriter that participated in the offering (each, a "Selected Dealer") and each of their respective directors, officers and employees and each person, if any who controls such

93

---

Table of Contents

underwriter or any Selected Dealer against certain liabilities, including liabilities under U.S. securities laws in certain circumstances or to contribute to payments the underwriters may have to make because of such liabilities.

Other Relationships

        Upon completion of this offering, we have granted the representative a right of first refusal to act as lead bookrunner, placement agent or manager in connection with any subsequent public or private offering of equity securities, debt financing or refinancing, or other capital markets financing by us. This right of first refusal extends until March 31, 2018. The terms of any such engagement of the representative will be determined by separate agreement.

        Our common stock is listed on the NYSE American under the symbol "EMAN."

        A prospectus in electronic format may be made available on the websites maintained by one or more of the underwriters, or selling group members, if any, participating in this offering and one or more of the underwriters participating in this offering may distribute prospectuses electronically. Other than the prospectus in electronic format, the information on the websites of any such underwriter or selling group member is not part of this prospectus. The representative may agree to allocate a number of shares to underwriters and selling group members for sale to their online brokerage account holders. Internet distributions will be allocated by the underwriters and selling group members that will make internet distributions on the same basis as other allocations.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
eMagin Corporation

        We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of eMagin Corporation and Subsidiary (the Company) as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

        We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

        In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of eMagin Corporation and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1—Nature Of Business

        eMagin Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary, Virtual Vision, Inc. (the "Company") designs, manufactures and supplies OLED-on-silicon microdisplays and virtual imaging products which utilize OLED microdisplays. The Company's products are sold mainly in North America, Asia, and Europe.

Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of presentation

        The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of eMagin Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company manages its operations on a consolidated, integrated basis in order to optimize its equipment and facilities and to effectively service its global customer base, and concludes that it operates in a single business segment.

Use of estimates

        In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management utilizes certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments related to, among others, allowance for doubtful accounts, warranty reserves, inventory reserves, stock-based compensation expense, deferred tax asset valuation allowances, litigation and other loss contingencies. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue and cost recognition

        Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, selling price is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured. Product revenue is generally recognized when products are shipped to customers.

        The Company also earns revenues from certain research and development ("R&D") activities (contract revenues) under both firm fixed-price contracts and cost-type contracts. Revenues relating to firm fixed-price contracts and cost-type contracts are generally recognized on the percentage-of-completion method of accounting as costs are incurred (cost-to-cost basis). Progress is generally based on a cost-to-cost approach; however, an alternative method may be used such as physical progress, labor hours or others depending on the type of contract. Physical progress is determined as a combination of input and output measures as deemed appropriate by the circumstances. Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and an allocation of allowable indirect costs as defined by each contract, as periodically adjusted to reflect revised agreed upon rates. These rates are subject to audit by the other party.

Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Product warranty

        The Company offers a one-year product replacement warranty. In general, the standard policy is to repair or replace the defective products. The Company accrues for estimated returns of defective products at the time revenue is recognized based on historical experience as well as for specific known product issues. The determination of these accruals requires the Company to make estimates of the frequency and extent of warranty activity and estimate future costs to replace the products under warranty. If the actual warranty activity and/or repair and replacement costs differ significantly from these estimates, adjustments to cost of revenue may be required in future periods.

        The following table provides a summary of the activity related to the Company's warranty liability, included in other current liabilities, during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 (in thousands):

Research and development expenses

        Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Cash and cash equivalents

        All highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents.

Accounts receivable

        The majority of the Company's commercial accounts receivable are due from Original Equipment Manufacturers ("OEM's"). Credit is extended based on an evaluation of a customer's financial condition and, generally, collateral is not required. Accounts receivable are payable in U.S. dollars, are due within 30-90 days and are stated at amounts due from customers net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Any account outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms is considered past due.

Unbilled accounts receivable

        Unbilled receivables principally represent revenues recorded under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting that have not been billed to customers in accordance with the contractual terms of the arrangement. We anticipate that the majority of the balance at December 31, 2016 will be collected during the 2017 fiscal year. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, unbilled accounts receivable was $1.4 million and $1.4 million, respectively.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Allowance for doubtful accounts

        The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects an estimate of probable losses inherent in the accounts receivable balance. The allowance is determined based on a variety of factors, including the length of time receivables are past due, historical experience, the customer's current ability to pay its obligation, and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. The Company will record a specific reserve for individual accounts when the Company becomes aware of a customer's inability to meet its financial obligations, deterioration in the customer's operating results or financial position, or deterioration in the customer's credit history. If circumstances related to customers change, the Company would further adjust estimates of the recoverability of receivables. Account balances, when determined to be uncollectible, are charged against the allowance.

Inventories

        Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in first-out method. Cost includes materials, labor, and manufacturing overhead related to the purchase and production of inventories. The Company regularly reviews inventory quantities on hand, future purchase commitments with the Company's suppliers, and the estimated utility of the inventory. If the Company review indicates a reduction in utility below carrying value, the inventory is reduced to a new cost basis.

Equipment, furniture and leasehold improvements

        Equipment, furniture and leasehold improvements are stated at cost. Depreciation on equipment is calculated using the straight-line method of depreciation over the estimated useful life ranging from three to 10 years. Amortization of leasehold improvements is calculated by using the straight-line method over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or lease terms. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

        The Company performs impairment tests on its long-lived assets when circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If required, recoverability is tested by comparing the estimated future undiscounted cash flows of the asset or asset group to its carrying value. Impairment losses, if any, are recognized based on the excess of the assets' carrying amounts over their estimated fair values.

Intangible assets

        Included in the Company's intangible assets are patents that are recorded at purchase price as of the date acquired and amortized over the expected useful life which is generally the remaining life of the patent. In 2014, the Company purchased several patents for $290 thousand which are being amortized over their remaining useful life. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, intangible assets were $355 thousand less accumulated amortization of $166 thousand and $112 thousand, respectively. As of December 31, 2016, the weighted average remaining useful life of the patents was approximately 5.3 years.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

        Total intangible amortization expense was approximately $54 thousand and $58 thousand for each of the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Estimated future amortization expense as of December 31, 2016 is as follows (in thousands):

Advertising

        Costs related to advertising and promotion of products are charged to sales and marketing expense as incurred. There was no advertising expense for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.

Shipping and handling fees

        The Company includes costs related to shipping and handling in cost of goods sold.

Income taxes

        The Company accounts for income taxes under an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's financial statements or tax returns. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of changes in tax rates will be recognized as income or expense in the period that the change occurs. A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is recorded when it is more likely than not that some or all of the benefit from the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Changes in circumstances, assumptions and clarification of uncertain tax regimes may require changes to any valuation allowances associated with the Company's deferred tax assets.

        Due to the Company's operating loss carryforwards, all tax years remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject. In the event that the Company is assessed interest or penalties at some point in the future, it will be classified in the financial statements as tax expense.

Income (loss) per common share

        Basic income (loss) per share ("Basic EPS") is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted income (loss) per share ("Diluted EPS") is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period while also giving effect to all potentially dilutive common shares that were outstanding during the reporting period.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

        In accordance with ASC 260, entities that have issued securities other than common stock that participate in dividends with the common stock ("participating securities") are required to apply the two-class method to compute basic EPS. The two-class method is an earnings allocation method under which EPS is calculated for each class of common stock and participating security as if all such earnings had been distributed during the period. On December 22, 2008, the Company issued Convertible Preferred Stock—Series B which participates in dividends with the Company's common stock and is therefore considered to be a participating security. The participating convertible preferred stock is not required to absorb any net loss. The Company uses the more dilutive method of calculating the diluted earnings per share, either the two class method or "if-converted" method. Under the "if-converted" method, the convertible preferred stock is assumed to have been converted into common shares at the beginning of the period.

        For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company reported a net loss and as a result, basic and diluted loss per common share are the same. Therefore, in calculating net loss per share amounts, shares underlying the potentially dilutive common stock equivalents were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per common share because their effect was anti-dilutive.

        The following is a table of the potentially dilutive common stock equivalents for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 that were not included in diluted EPS as their effect would be anti-dilutive:

Comprehensive income (loss)

        Comprehensive income (loss) refers to net income (loss) and other revenue, expenses, gains and losses that, under generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded as an element of shareholders' equity but are excluded from the calculation of net income (loss).

        The Company's operations did not give rise to any material items includable in comprehensive income (loss), which were not already in net income (loss) for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. Accordingly, the Company's comprehensive income (loss) is the same as its net income (loss) for the periods presented.

Stock-based compensation

        The Company uses the fair value method of accounting for share-based compensation arrangements. The fair values of stock options are estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. Stock-based compensation expense is reduced for estimated forfeitures and is amortized over the vesting period using the straight-line method.

Concentration of credit risk

        The majority of eMagin's products are sold throughout North America, Asia, and Europe. Sales to the Company's recurring customers are generally made on open account while sales to occasional customers are typically made on a prepaid basis. eMagin performs periodic credit evaluations on its recurring customers and generally does not require collateral. An allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained for credit losses.

        Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. The Company's cash and cash equivalents are deposited with financial institutions which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company invests surplus cash in a government money market fund that consists of U.S Government obligations and repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. Government Obligations, which is not insured. To date, the Company has not experienced any loss associated with this risk.

Evaluation of Ability to Maintain Current Level of Operations

        In connection with preparing the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016, management evaluated whether there were conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raised substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and meet its obligations as they became due for the next twelve months from the date of issuance of its 2016 financial statements. Management assessed that there were such conditions and events, including a history of recurring operating losses and negative cash flows from operating activities. The Company incurred a net loss of $8.0 million and used cash in operating activities of $8.6 million for 2016. In addition, at December 31, 2016, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $5.2 million, outstanding borrowings under its ABL debt facility of $1.9 million, gross of debt issuance costs, and borrowing availability under the facility of $2.0 million.

        Management evaluated the significance of these conditions in relation to the Company's ability to meet its obligations as they become due. The Company's ability to continue current operations and to execute on management's plans is dependent on its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations. The Company expects that it may need additional capital to fund its operations in the next twelve months from the date of issuance of its 2016 financial statements. In March 2017, the Company entered into an unsecured debt financing arrangement with Stillwater Trust LLC, a significant investor in the Company (see Note 14). Under the financing agreement, the Company may borrow through June 30, 2018, up to $2 million for general working capital purposes and up to an additional $3 million should the Company's existing lender not provide borrowing availability under its normal terms and conditions through its ABL debt facility. Management's plans also include the ability to reduce certain discretionary expenses and delay capital expenditures if necessary to provide additional sources of capital.

        Management believes that its plan of obtaining this additional source of capital under the Stillwater Trust LLC agreement, and its ability to take actions to reduce certain discretionary expenses and delay capital expenditures if necessary to provide additional sources of capital, alleviates the substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Based on the Company's current operating plan, management anticipates that, given current working capital levels, current financial projections, and the ability to borrow under its ABL debt facility and its credit facility with its largest investor, the Company will be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due over the

next twelve months from the date of issuance of its 2016 financial statements and to continue as a going concern over the same period.

Recently issued accounting standards

        In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued guidance which simplifies the accounting for share-based payment transactions including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, financial statement presentation of excess tax benefits or deficiencies, and classification in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, although early adoption is permitted. The Company has elected to early adopt this guidance on a prospective basis as of December 31, 2016. The adoption of the new accounting guidance did not have a material impact on its financial statements.

        In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance which changes the accounting for leases. The guidance requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee's right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term and, a lease liability, which is a lessee's obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases). Under the new guidance, leases previously defined as operating leases will be presented on the balance sheet. As a result, these leases will be recorded as an asset and a corresponding liability at the present value of the total lease payments. The asset will be decremented over the life of the lease on a pro-rata basis resulting in lease expense while the liability will be decremented using the interest method (ie. principal and interest). As such, the Company expects the new guidance will materially impact the asset and liability balances of the Company's financial statements and related disclosures at the time of adoption. Since the new guidance is effective January 1, 2019, there will be no immediate impact on the Company's financial statements.

        In November 2015, the FASB issued guidance which requires deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in the statement of financial position. This guidance requires entities with a classified balance sheet to present all deferred tax assets and liabilities as non-current. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and can be applied prospectively or retrospectively to adjustments with early adoption permitted at the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The Company does not expect the adoption of the new accounting guidance to have a material impact on its financial statements.

        In July 2015, the FASB issued guidance on the measurement of inventory, which requires that inventory be measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The updated standard should be adopted prospectively and is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim periods therein) beginning after December 15, 2016 with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of the new accounting guidance to have a material impact on its financial statements.

        In April 2015, the FASB issued guidance about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, then the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a services contract. All software licenses recognized under this guidance will be accounted for consistent with other licenses of intangible assets. The guidance was effective January 1, 2016 and the Company adopted it on a prospective basis. The guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

        In April 2015, the FASB issued guidance that simplifies the presentation of debt issuance costs. The guidance requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The Company adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2016 and has presented its revolving credit facility debt net of unamortized debt issuance costs in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

        In November 2014, the FASB issued guidance to eliminate the diversity in practice for the accounting for hybrid financial instruments issued in the form of a share. The guidance requires management to consider all terms and features, whether stated or implied, of a hybrid instrument when determining whether the nature of the instrument is more akin to a debt instrument or an equity instrument. Embedded derivative features, which are accounted for separately from host contracts, should also be considered in the analysis of the hybrid instrument. The Company adopted the guidance effective January 1, 2016 and it did not have an impact on its financial statements.

        In August 2014, the FASB issued guidance which defines management's responsibility to assess an entity's ability to continue as a going concern, and to provide related footnote disclosures if there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The pronouncement was effective for annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2016 with early adoption permitted. The Company has provided an assessment and related disclosures in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

        In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance on the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers, which will require an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The updated standard will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) when it becomes effective and permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. In July 2015, the FASB voted to defer the effective date for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 (including interim reporting periods within those periods) and permitted early adoption of the standard, but not before the original effective date of December 15, 2016. The Company expects the updated standard to become effective for it in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. The Company has not yet selected a transition method and is currently evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on its financial statements.

Note 7—Debt

        On December 21, 2016, the Company entered into a revolving credit facility with a lender that provides for up to a maximum amount of $5 million based on a borrowing base equivalent of 85% of eligible accounts receivable plus the lesser of $2 million or 50% of eligible inventory, (the "ABL facility"). The interest on the ABL facility is equal to the Prime Rate plus 3% but may not be less than 6.5% with a minimum monthly interest payment of $2 thousand. The Company shall pay the lender a monthly administrative fee of $1 thousand and an annual facility fee equal to 1% of the maximum amount borrowable under the facility. The ABL facility will automatically renew on December 31, 2019 for a one-year term unless written notice to terminate the agreement is provided by either party. In conjunction with entering into the financing, the Company incurred $163 thousand of debt issuance costs including lender and legal costs that will be amortized over the life of the ABL facility. In accordance with recently issued accounting guidance, the revolving credit facility balance is presented net of these unamortized debt issuance costs on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet.

        The ABL facility is secured by a lien on all receivables, property and the proceeds thereof, credit insurance policies and other insurance relating to the collateral, books, records and other general intangibles, inventory and equipment, proceeds of the collateral and accounts, instruments, chattel paper, and documents. Collections received on accounts receivable are directly used to pay down the outstanding borrowings on the credit facility.

        The ABL facility contains customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. The Company is required to maintain a minimum tangible net worth of $13 million and a minimum working capital balance of $4 million at all times. As of December 31, 2016, we had unused borrowing availability of $2.0 million and were in compliance with all debt covenants.

        Our former credit facility with a lender expired on August 31, 2016 and was not renewed. The facility provided for up to a maximum of $3 million in borrowings based on 75% of eligible accounts receivable, as defined in the agreement. The interest on the credit facility was equal to the prime rate plus 4% but could not be less than 7.25% with a minimum monthly interest payment of $1 thousand. The credit facility contained customary representations and warranties as well as affirmative and negative covenants. We were in compliance with all debt covenants. We did not draw on the credit facility at any time since its inception in September 2010 and there was no outstanding balance at the expiration date.

        For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, interest expense includes interest paid, capitalized or accrued of approximately $30 thousand and $43 thousand, respectively, on outstanding debt.

        Net loss before income taxes consists of the following (in thousands):

        The tax effects of significant items comprising the Company's deferred taxes as of December 31 are as follows (numbers are in thousands):

        The Company accounts for income taxes under an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's financial statements or tax returns. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of changes in tax rates will be recognized as income or expense in the period that the change occurs. A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is recorded when it is more likely than not that some or all of the benefit from the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Changes in circumstances, assumptions and clarification of uncertain tax regimes may require changes to any valuation allowances associated with the Company's deferred tax assets.

        As of December 31, 2016, the Company's deferred tax assets were generated primarily from the federal and state net operating loss, stock based compensation and research and development tax credits. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management determined that it is more likely than not that none of the deferred tax assets will be realized. Therefore, the Company has provided a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets at December 31, 2016 and 2015.

        As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had net deferred tax assets before its valuation allowance of approximately $50 million and $45 million, respectively.

Note 8—Income Taxes (Continued)

        During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company did not utilize its prior years' net operating loss carryforwards. As of December 31, 2016, eMagin has federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $125.7 million and $7.6 million, respectively. The federal research and development tax credit carryforwards are approximately $2.2 million. The federal net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards will expire as follows:

        The utilization of net operating losses is subject to a limitation due to the change of ownership provisions under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code and similar state provisions. Such limitation may result in the expiration of the net operating losses before their utilization. The Company has done an analysis regarding prior year ownership changes, and it has been determined that the Section 382 limitation on the utilization of net operating losses will currently not materially affect the Company's ability to utilize its net operating losses.

        The difference between the statutory federal income tax rate on the Company's pre-tax loss and the Company's effective income tax rate is summarized as follows:

        The Company did not have unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2016 and 2015. The Company recognizes interest accrued and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in tax expense. During the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company recognized no interest and penalties.

        The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, California, Florida, New York and Massachusetts. Due to the Company's operating losses, all tax years remain open to examination by major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject.

Note 9—Shareholders' Equity

Preferred Stock—Series B Convertible Preferred Stock ("the Preferred Stock—Series B")

        The Company has designated 10,000 shares of the Company's preferred stock as Preferred Stock—Series B at a stated value of $1,000 per share. The Preferred Stock—Series B is convertible into common stock at a conversion price of $0.75 per share. The holders of the Preferred Stock—Series B are not entitled to receive dividends unless the Company's Board of Directors declare a dividend for holders of the Company's common stock and then the dividend shall be equal to the amount that such holder would have been entitled to receive if the holder converted its Preferred Stock—Series B into shares of the Company's common stock. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, the Preferred Stock—Series B is entitled to receive liquidation preference before the Common Stock. The Company may at its option redeem the Preferred Stock—Series B by providing the required notice to the holders of the Preferred Stock—Series B and paying an amount equal to $1,000 multiplied by the number of shares for all of such holder's shares of outstanding Preferred Stock—Series B to be redeemed.

        As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, there were 5,659 shares of Preferred Stock—Series B issued and outstanding.

Common Stock

        On December 17, 2015, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") pursuant to which the Company sold and issued 3,999,996 shares of the Company's common stock, par value of $0.001 per share, at a price of $1.50 per share. The net proceeds received after expenses were $5.5 million. In connection with the sale of the shares, the Company isssued warrants to purchase an additional 2,600,000 shares of common stock exercisable at a price of $2.05 per share beginning June 23, 2016 and expiring on June 23, 2021.

        On September 3, 2015, the Company entered into an at the Market Offering Agreement (the "agreement") with an investment bank as sales agent, pursuant to which the Company was to offer and sell shares of its common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $4,500,000. The agreement was terminated effective December 17, 2015. As of December 17, 2015, the Company sold 100,716 shares at sales prices ranging from $2.25 to $2.49 per share, resulting in $90 thousand in net proceeds.

        The Company received approximately $45 thousand and $267 thousand from the exercise of 21,912 and 254,351 stock options during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

        In August 2011, our Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase plan authorizing us to repurchase our common stock not to exceed $2.5 million in total value. No shares were repurchased subsequent September 2012. As of December 31, 2016, authorization to repurchase $2.0 million in value of our common stock remained under this plan.

Warrant Transactions

        On August 18, 2016, we entered into letter agreements with certain of our warrant holders pursuant to which such warrant holders agreed to exercise warrants to purchase a total of 2,216,500 shares of our common stock, at an exercise price of $2.05 per share, which they acquired in December 2015.

Note 9—Shareholders' Equity (Continued)

        On August 24, 2016, in consideration for the exercise of the 2,216,500 warrant shares, we issued new common stock purchase warrants (the "New Warrants") to purchase 2,947,949 shares of our common stock which is equal to 133% of the 2,216,500 warrant shares exercised. The New Warrants have an exercise price of $2.60 per share, and are not exercisable for six months from the date of issuance, and have a term of five and a half years from the issuance date.

        We raised approximately $4.3 million in net proceeds from the transaction, which will be used for general corporate purposes.

        The issuance of the New Warrants was exempt from federal and state registration requirements. During 2016, the Company filed a resale registration statement to register the shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of the New Warrants.

        At December 31, 2016, there were New Warrants outstanding to purchase 2,947,949 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $2.60 per share, which expire in February 2022. In addition, warrants to purchase 383,500 shares remaining from the December 2015 issuance were outstanding at December 31, 2016 at an exercise price of $2.05 per share, which expire in June 2021.

Note 10—Stock Compensation

Employee stock purchase plan

        In 2005, the shareholders approved the 2005 Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP"). The ESPP provides the Company's employees with the opportunity to purchase common stock through payroll deductions. Employees may purchase stock semi-annually at a price that is 85% of the fair market value at certain plan-defined dates. At December 31, 2016, the number of shares of common stock available for issuance was 300,000. As of December 31, 2016, the plan had not been implemented.

Incentive compensation plans

        The Amended and Restated 2003 Employee Stock Option Plan (the "2003 Plan") provided for grants of shares of common stock and options to purchase shares of common stock to employees, officers, directors and consultants. The 2003 Plan terminated July 2, 2013. No additional options can be granted from the plan though options granted before the 2003 Plan terminated may be exercised until the grant expires.

        The 2008 Incentive Stock Plan (the "2008 Plan") adopted and approved by the Board of Directors on November 5, 2008 provides for grants of common stock and options to purchase shares of common stock to employees, officers, directors and consultants. The 2008 Plan has an aggregate of 2 million shares. In 2016, there were 221,024 options granted from the 2008 Plan.

        The 2011 Incentive Stock Plan (the "2011 Plan") was approved by the Company's shareholders on November 3, 2011. The 2011 Plan provides for grants of common stock and options to purchase common stock to employees, officers, directors and consultants. The Board of Directors reserved 1.4 million shares of common stock for issuance under the 2011 Plan. On June 7, 2012, at the Company's Annual Meeting, the shareholders approved an Amended and Restated 2011 Incentive Stock Plan which eliminated the evergreen provision and prohibits the repricing or exchange of stock options without shareholder approval. In 2016, there were 458,000 options granted from the 2011 Plan.

Note 10—Stock Compensation (Continued)

        The 2013 Incentive Stock Plan (the "2013 Plan") adopted and approved by the shareholders on May 17, 2013 provides for grants of common stock and options to purchase shares of common stock to employees, officers, directors and consultants. The 2013 Plan has an aggregate of 1.5 million shares. In 2016, there were 631,073 options granted from this plan.

        During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company granted options to purchase 125,000 shares of common stock to employees, that are subject to approval of a 2017 plan by the shareholders at the next annual meeting.

        Vesting terms of the options range from immediate vesting to a ratable vesting period of 5 years. Option activity for the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 is summarized as follows:

        At December 31, 2016, there were 108,428 shares available for grant under the 2013, 2011, and 2008 Plans.

        The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the difference between the exercise price of the underlying options and the quoted price of the Company's common stock on December 31, 2016 for the options that were in-the-money. As of December 31, 2016 there were 1,824,351 options that were in-the-money. The Company's closing stock price was $2.15 as of December 31, 2016. The Company issues new shares of common stock upon exercise of stock options. The intrinsic value of the 2016 options exercised was $7 thousand.

Stock-based compensation

        The Company uses the fair value method of accounting for share-based compensation arrangements. The fair value of stock options is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. Stock-based compensation expense is reduced for estimated forfeitures and is amortized over the vesting period using the straight-line method.

Note 10—Stock Compensation (Continued)

        The following table summarizes the allocation of non-cash stock-based compensation to the Company's expense categories for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 (in thousands):

        At December 31, 2016, total unrecognized compensation costs related to stock options was approximately $1.0 million, net of estimated forfeitures. Total unrecognized compensation cost will be adjusted for future changes in estimated forfeitures and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 3.1 years.

        The following key assumptions were used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options granted:

        The weighted average fair value per share for options granted in 2016 and 2015 was $1.00 and $1.17, respectively.

        There were no dividends declared or paid in 2016 or 2015. Though the Company paid a special one-time dividend in 2012, the Company does not expect to pay dividends in the near future; therefore, it used an expected dividend yield of 0%. The risk-free interest rate used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model is based on the implied yield at the time of grant available on U.S. Treasury securities with an equivalent term. Expected volatility is based on the weighted average historical volatility of the Company's common stock for the equivalent term. The expected term of options represents the period that the Company's stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding and was determined based on historical experience and vesting schedules of similar awards.

Note 11—Commitments and Contingencies

Employee contributions are generally limited to 15% of the employee's compensation. Under the provisions of the 401(k) Plan, eMagin may match a portion of the participating employees' contributions. For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, there was no employer match.

Employment and separation agreements

        On September 14, 2015, Jeffrey P. Lucas was elected to serve as eMagin's Chief Financial Officer by the Company's Board of Directors.

These amounts were expensed in the quarter ended September 30, 2015.

Litigation

        From time to time, the Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues for losses related to litigation when a potential loss is probable and the loss can be reasonably estimated. Significant judgment is required to determine the probability that a liability has been incurred and whether such liability is reasonably estimable. All estimates are based on the best information available at the time which can be highly subjective.

("Kimchuk"), a former supplier, commenced action against the Company in the U.S. District Court, District of Connecticut, asserting breach of contract and seeking to recover approximately $389,000 in alleged damages. The Company filed its response and counter-complaint on August 11, 2015 wherein the Company denied the material allegations asserted by Kimchuk and sought approximately $3.5 million in damages from Kimchuk. The Company recorded an accrual for the litigation and estimated settlement in the quarter ended September 30, 2015.

        On June 1, 2016, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Kimchuk whereby, eMagin paid Kimchuk $227,000, and Kimchuk agreed to dismiss the matter, provide parts and material to eMagin and settle outstanding accounts payable. The Company did not incur any additional settlement expense during 2016.

        During 2015, the Company received a letter from an attorney representing a former employee claiming damages for age discrimination and wrongful termination. In September 2016, this former employee commenced action against the Company in Superior Court for the State of Washington.

Note 14—Subsequent Events

        On March 24, 2017, the Company entered into an unsecured debt financing arrangement with Stillwater Trust LLC, an investor who with affiliates collectively control approximately 46% of the Company's outstanding common stock. Under the financing agreement, the Company may borrow, through June 30, 2018, up to $2 million for general working capital purposes and up to an additional $3 million should the Company's lender not provide borrowing availability under its normal terms and conditions through its ABL facility. The agreement expires and borrowings become due upon the earlier of June 30, 2020; the completion of one or a series of equity financings which raise collectively $5 million or greater of gross proceeds; or an event of default, as defined in the agreement. Amounts borrowed under the financing agreement, once repaid, cannot be reborrowed.

        The amounts drawn on the line accrue interest at 6% per annum payable at maturity, and are subject to an upfront drawdown fee of 2% of the amount drawn and a quarterly interest surcharge of 2% paid upfront and due commencing on the 180-day anniversary of each draw regardless of whether

the draw is still outstanding and then a 2% quarterly interest surcharge until the draws are repaid. In connection with the financing commitment, the investor received a $50,000 commitment fee and a warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.25 per share, the closing market price of the Company's common stock on the date the arrangement was executed. In the event the Company does not raise at least $5 million in gross proceeds from an equity offering within 180 days of the first draw on the facility, it will be required to file a registered rights offering with the Securities and Exchange Commission within 45 days of the 180-day period to all holders of securities of the Company. In connection with the facility, the Company, its lender and the investor entered into an intercreditor agreement.

        Mr. Christopher Brody, a member of the Company's board of directors, is also the President and Managing Director of Stillwater Holdings LLC and is the Vice President of Stillwater Trust LLC, which is the Company's largest stockholder. The decision of Stillwater Trust LLC to enter into the financing arrangement was made independently of Mr. Brody and the financing was not required or suggested by Mr. Brody. The terms of the financing were determined solely by negotiation among the Company and Stillwater Trust LLC. Mr. Brody did not participate in the deliberations of the Company's board of directors or the special committee of the Company's board formed to review the terms of the financing with respect to the approval of the financing and abstained from voting thereon.

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Business

        eMagin Corporation (the "Company") designs, develops, manufactures, and markets OLED (organic light emitting diode)—on-silicon microdisplays and virtual imaging products which utilize OLED microdisplays. The Company's products are sold mainly in North America, Asia, and Europe.

Basis of Presentation

        In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of eMagin Corporation and its subsidiary reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to instructions, rules and regulations prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company believes that the disclosures provided herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading when these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. The results of operations for the period ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The consolidated condensed financial statements as of December 31, 2016 are derived from audited financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Evaluation of Ability to Maintain Current Level of Operations

        As of September 30, 2017, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $226.2 million. The Company incurred a net loss of $7.3 million and used cash in operating and investing activities of $8.1 million during the first nine months of 2017. In addition, at September 30, 2017, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $2.0 million, $0.9 million in outstanding borrowings under its asset based lending ("ABL") debt facility, and borrowing availability under the facility of $3.7 million.

        Management evaluated whether the conditions above raised substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's ability to continue current operations is dependent on its existing cash and working capital balances and the ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations. The Company expects that it may need additional capital to fund its operations over the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial statements. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital or obtain debt when required or on acceptable terms, the Company may have to reduce or delay operating expenses as deemed appropriate in order to conserve cash.

        In March 2017, the Company entered into an unsecured debt financing arrangement with Stillwater Trust LLC, a significant investor in the Company. Under the financing agreement, the Company may borrow through June 30, 2018, up to $2 million for general working capital purposes and up to an additional $3 million should the Company's existing lender not provide borrowing availability under its normal terms and conditions through its ABL debt facility. In accordance with the terms of the unsecured debt financing agreement, this arrangement expired on May 24, 2017, upon the completion of an equity offering.

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

        On May 24, 2017, the Company completed an underwritten offering of 3,300,000 shares of its common stock and warrants to purchase up to 1,650,000 shares of common stock and realized net proceeds of $5.8 million dollars after underwriting discounts and offering expenses.

        Management believes its current operating plan, current working capital levels including proceeds from its May public offering, current financial projections, and the ability to borrow under its ABL debt facility, has alleviated substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue to meet its obligations and continue its operations for the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial statements.

Use of estimates

        In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management utilizes certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments related to, among others, allowance for doubtful accounts, warranty reserves, inventory reserves, stock-based compensation expense, deferred tax asset valuation allowances, litigation and other loss contingencies. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications

        Certain immaterial prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation with no impact on previously reported net income, assets or shareholders' equity.

Revenues and Cost Recognition

        Revenues from product sales are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, such as when a purchase order or contract is received from the customer, the price is fixed, title and risk of loss to the goods has changed and there is a reasonable assurance of collection of the sales proceeds. We obtain written purchase authorizations from our customers for a specified amount of product at a specified price and consider delivery to have occurred at the time of shipment. Product revenue is generally recognized when products are shipped to customers.

        Revenues from research and development activities relating to firm fixed-price contracts and cost-type contracts are generally recognized on the percentage-of-completion method of accounting as costs are incurred (cost-to-cost basis). Progress is generally based on a cost-to-cost approach; however, an alternative method may be used such as physical progress, labor hours or others depending on the type of contract. Physical progress is determined as a combination of input and output measures as deemed appropriate by the circumstances. Contract costs include all direct material, labor and subcontractor costs and an allocation of allowable indirect costs as defined by each contract, as

periodically adjusted to reflect revised agreed upon rates. These rates are subject to audit by the other party.

        Revenues from sales or licenses of intellectual property are recognized when transferred to the customer, provided the license has stand-alone value and the contract provides the right to use the intellectual property as it exists at the point the license is granted, without further obligations of the Company to update the intellectual property after the license is transferred. If the license does not have standalone value, then the license is combined with other deliverables, such as Research and Development ("R&D") or manufacturing services into a single unit of account. Revenue from the single unit of account is recognized when earned, typically as the R&D or manufacturing services are performed over the life of the contract.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

        In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued guidance that narrows the application of when an integrated set of assets and activities is considered a business and provides a framework to assist entities in evaluating whether both an input and a substantive process are present to be considered a business. It is expected that the new guidance will reduce the number of transactions that would need to be further evaluated and accounted for as a business. The guidance is required to be applied by the Company in the first quarter of 2018, although early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

        In March 2016, the FASB issued guidance which simplifies the accounting for share-based payment transactions including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, financial statement presentation of excess tax benefits or deficiencies, and classification in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, although early adoption is permitted. The Company elected to early adopt this guidance on a prospective basis as of December 31, 2016. The adoption of the new accounting guidance did not have a material impact on the company's financial statements.

        In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance which changes the accounting for leases. The guidance requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee's right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term and, a lease liability, which is a lessee's obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases). Under the new guidance, leases previously defined as operating leases will be presented on the balance sheet. As a result, these leases will be recorded as an asset and a corresponding liability at the present value of the total lease payments. The asset will be decremented over the life of the lease on a pro-rata basis resulting in lease expense while the liability will be decremented using the interest method (i.e. principal and interest). As such, the Company expects the new guidance will impact the asset and liability balances of the Company's financial statements and related disclosures at the time of adoption. The new guidance is effective January 1, 2019.

        In November 2015, the FASB issued guidance which requires deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in the statement of financial position. This guidance requires entities with a

classified balance sheet to present all deferred tax assets and liabilities as non-current. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and can be applied prospectively or retrospectively to adjustments with early adoption permitted at the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The adoption of the new accounting guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

        In July 2015, the FASB issued guidance on the measurement of inventory, which requires that inventory be measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The updated standard was adopted prospectively and is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim periods therein) beginning after December 15, 2016 with early adoption permitted. The adoption of the new accounting guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

        In April 2015, the FASB issued guidance that simplifies the presentation of debt issuance costs. The guidance requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The Company adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2016 and has presented its revolving credit facility debt net of unamortized debt issuance costs in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

        In August 2014, the FASB issued guidance which defines management's responsibility to assess an entity's ability to continue as a going concern; and to provide related footnote disclosures if there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The pronouncement was effective for annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2016 with early adoption permitted. The Company has provided an assessment and related disclosures in Note 1 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

        In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance on the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers, which will require an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The updated standard will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance when it becomes effective. The guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is still finalizing its assessment of this guidance, but does not currently expect its adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. Based on the evaluation of its product, contract and licensing revenue streams, most will be recorded consistently under both the current and new guidance with differences possible in the accounting for product warranties which are not expected to be material. The Company has determined it will use the modified retrospective method as its transition method in the adoption of the new revenue guidance. The Company will continue to accumulate information that will be necessary for implementation and will identify and implement any changes in its processes, systems and controls necessary to meet the new standards enhanced reporting and disclosure requirements. The Company will continue its evaluation of this new guidance though the date of adoption.

Intangible Assets—Patents

        Acquired patents are recorded at purchase price as of the date acquired and amortized over the expected useful life which is generally the remaining life of the patent.

        The total intangible amortization expense was approximately $14 thousand and $41 thousand for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Estimated future amortization expense as of September 30, 2017 is as follows (in thousands):

Product warranty

        The Company generally offers a one-year product replacement warranty. The standard policy is to repair or replace the defective products. The Company accrues for estimated returns of defective products at the time revenue is recognized based on historical activity as well as for specific known product issues. The determination of these accruals requires the Company to make estimates of the frequency and extent of warranty activity and estimate future costs to replace the products under warranty. If the actual warranty activity and/or repair and replacement costs differ significantly from these estimates, adjustments to cost of revenue may be required in future periods.

        The following table provides a summary of the activity related to the Company's warranty liability included in other current liabilities, (in thousands):

Net Loss per Common Share

        Basic loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, and excludes any dilutive effects of common stock equivalent shares such as stock options, warrants, and convertible preferred stock. Diluted loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and potentially dilutive common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common stock equivalent shares are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive.

        The Company's Series B Convertible Preferred stock ("Preferred Stock—Series B") is considered a participating security as the preferred stock participates in dividends with the common stock, which requires the use of the two-class method when computing basic and diluted earnings per share. The Preferred Stock—Series B is not required to absorb any net loss. Although the Company paid a one-time special dividend in 2012, the Company does not expect to pay dividends on its common or preferred stock in the near future.

        The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share (in thousands, except per share and share data) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016:

Note 4: Line of Credit

        On December 21, 2016, the Company entered into a revolving credit facility with a lender that provides for up to a maximum amount of $5 million based on a borrowing base equivalent of 85% of eligible accounts receivable plus the lesser of $2 million or 50% of eligible inventory, (the "ABL facility"). The interest on the ABL facility is equal to the Prime Rate plus 3% but may not be less than 6.5% with a minimum monthly interest payment of $2 thousand. The Company is also obligated to pay the lender a monthly administrative fee of $1 thousand and an annual facility fee equal to 1% of the maximum amount borrowable under the facility. The ABL facility will automatically renew on December 31, 2019 for a one-year term unless written notice to terminate the agreement is provided by either party. In conjunction with entering into the financing, the Company incurred $228 thousand of debt issuance costs including lender and legal costs that will be amortized over the life of the ABL facility. In accordance with recently issued accounting guidance, the revolving credit facility balance is presented net of these unamortized debt issuance costs on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet.

        The ABL facility is secured by a lien on all receivables, property and the proceeds thereof, credit insurance policies and other insurance relating to the collateral, books, records and other general intangibles, inventory and equipment, proceeds of the collateral and accounts, instruments, chattel paper, and documents. Collections received on accounts receivable are directly used to pay down the outstanding borrowings on the credit facility.

        The ABL facility contains customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. The Company is required to maintain a minimum tangible net worth of $13 million and a minimum working capital balance of $4 million at all times. As of September 30, 2017, we had unused borrowing availability of $3.7 million and were in compliance with all debt covenants.

        For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, interest expense includes interest paid, capitalized or accrued of $27 thousand and $249 thousand, respectively, on outstanding debt. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, also includes the write off of $158 of capitalized debt issuance costs associated with the expiration of the unsecured debt financing agreement.

        On March 24, 2017, the Company entered into an unsecured debt financing arrangement with Stillwater Trust LLC, an investor who, with affiliates, collectively control approximately 46% of the Company's outstanding common stock. Under the financing agreement, the Company may borrow, through June 30, 2018, up to $2 million for general working capital purposes and up to an additional $3 million should the Company's lender not provide borrowing availability under its normal terms and conditions through its ABL facility. The agreement expires and borrowings become due upon the earlier of June 30, 2020; the completion of one or a series of equity financings which raise collectively $5 million or greater of gross proceeds; or an event of default, as defined in the agreement. Amounts borrowed under the financing agreement, once repaid, cannot be reborrowed. In accordance with the terms of the agreement, this arrangement expired on May 24, 2017, upon the completion of an equity offering. Upon termination of this facility, the Company wrote off $158 thousand of related debt issuance costs, and recorded a charge to interest expense in the second quarter of 2017.

        Mr. Christopher Brody, a member of the Company's board of directors, is also the President and Managing Director of Stillwater Holdings LLC and is the Vice President of Stillwater Trust LLC, which is the Company's largest stockholder. The decision of Stillwater Trust LLC to enter into the financing arrangement was made independently of Mr. Brody and the financing was not required or suggested by Mr. Brody. The terms of the financing were determined solely by negotiation among the Company and Stillwater Trust LLC. Mr. Brody did not participate in the deliberations of the Company's board of directors or the special committee of the Company's board formed to review the terms of the financing with respect to the approval of the financing and abstained from voting thereon.

Note 5: Stock-based Compensation

        The Company uses the fair value method of accounting for share-based compensation arrangements. The fair value of stock options is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. Stock-based compensation expense is reduced for estimated forfeitures and is amortized over the vesting period using the straight-line method.

        The following table summarizes the allocation of non-cash stock-based compensation to our expense categories for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 (in thousands):

        At September 30, 2017, total unrecognized compensation costs related to stock options was approximately $0.7 million, net of estimated forfeitures. Total unrecognized compensation cost will be adjusted for future changes in estimated forfeitures and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 3 years.

        The following key assumptions were used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options granted:

Note 5: Stock-based Compensation (Continued)

        The Company does not expect to pay dividends in the near future. Therefore, the Company used an expected dividend yield of 0%. The risk-free interest rate used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model is based on yield available at dates of option grant, on U.S. Treasury securities with an equivalent term. Expected volatility is based on the weighted average historical volatility of the Company's common stock for the equivalent term. The expected term of the options represents the period that the Company's stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding and was determined based on historical experience and vesting schedules of similar awards.

        A summary of the Company's stock option activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 is presented in the following table (unaudited):

        The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the difference between the exercise price of the underlying options and the quoted price of the Company's common stock.

Underwritten Public Offering

        On May 24, 2017, the Company completed an underwritten offering of 3,300,000 shares of its common stock at an offering price of $2.00 and warrants to purchase up to 1,650,000 shares of common stock and realized net proceeds of $5.8 million dollars after underwriting discounts and offering expenses. The shares and warrants were purchased by a single institutional investor and by Stillwater, LLC, an affiliate of the Company. The Warrants have an exercise price of $2.45 per common share and a term of five years.

Warrants

        On August 18, 2016, the Company entered into letter agreements with certain warrant holders pursuant to which such warrant holders agreed to exercise warrants to purchase a total of 2,216,500 of the Company's common stock, at an exercise price of $2.05 per share, which they acquired in December 2015.

        On August 24, 2016, in consideration for the exercise of the 2,216,500 warrant shares, the Company issued new common stock purchase warrants (the "New Warrants") to purchase 2,947,949 shares of the Company's common stock which is equal to 133% of the 2,216,500 warrant shares exercised. The New Warrants have an exercise price of $2.60 per share and are substantially similar to the warrants issued in December 2015, except that they are: (a) restricted; (b) not exercisable for six months from the date of issuance; and (c) have a term of five and a half years from the issuance date.

        The Company raised approximately $4.5 million in gross proceeds from the transaction, which was used for general corporate purposes.

        The issuance of the New Warrants was exempt from federal and state registration requirements. The Company has filed a resale registration statement to register the shares of the Company's common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the New Warrants.

        At September 30, 2017 there were New Warrants outstanding to purchase 2,947,949 shares of Company's common stock at an exercise price of $2.60, which expire in February 2023. Warrants to purchase 383,500 shares remaining from the December 2015 issuance were outstanding at September 30, 2017 at an exercise price of $2.05, which expire in June 2021.

        In addition, on March 24, 2017 a warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.25 per share, was issued in conjunction with an unsecured line of credit as described in Note 4: Line of Credit, all of which remain outstanding as of September 30, 2017.

        On May 24, 2017, as described above, the Company issued warrants to purchase up to 1,650,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.45 in conjunction with a public offering, all of which remain outstanding as of September 30, 2017.

Note 7: Income Taxes

        The Company's effective tax rate is calculated quarterly based upon current assumptions relating to the full year's estimated operating results and various tax-related items. The Company's effective tax rate for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was 0%. The difference

Note 7: Income Taxes (Continued)

between the effective tax rate of 0% and the U.S. federal statutory rate of 34% for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was primarily due to recognizing a full valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

        As of September 30, 2017, the Company determined that based on all available evidence, both positive and negative, including the Company's latest forecasts and cumulative losses in recent years, it was more likely than not that none of its deferred tax assets would be realized and therefore it continued to record a full valuation allowance.

        The Company's net operating loss carry forward amounts expire through 2037 and are subject to certain limitations that may occur due to change in ownership provisions under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code and similar state provisions.

        Due to the Company's operating loss carryforwards, all tax years remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject. In the event that the Company is assessed interest or penalties at some point in the future, it will be classified in the financial statements as tax expense.

Note 8: Commitments and Contingencies

Equipment Purchase Commitments

        The Company has committed to equipment purchases of approximately $0.2 million at September 30, 2017.

Litigation

        From time to time, the Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues for losses related to litigation when a potential loss is probable and the loss can be reasonably estimated. Significant judgment is required to determine the probability that a liability has been incurred and whether such liability is reasonably estimable. All estimates are based on the best information available at the time which can be highly subjective.

        During 2015, the Company received a letter from an attorney representing a former employee claiming damages for age discrimination and wrongful termination. In September 2016, this former employee commenced action against the Company in Superior Court for the State of Washington. In February 2017, the former employee's counsel sent a discovery request to the Company. In October 2017, the parties reached a tentative settlement, subject to payment of an amount not material to the Company, documentation of the terms and the expiration of a revocation period.

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN THE PROSPECTUS

Item 13.    Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution.

        The following table sets forth the estimated costs and expenses, other than underwriting discounts and commissions, payable by the registrant in connection with the offering of the securities being registered. All the amounts shown are estimates, except for the SEC registration fee.

Item 14.    Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

        Our Articles of Incorporation, as amended and restated, provide to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware that our directors or officers shall not be personally liable to us or our stockholders for damages for breach of such director's or officer's fiduciary duty. The effect of this provision of our Articles of Incorporation, as amended and restated, is to eliminate our rights and our stockholders (through stockholders' derivative suits on behalf of our company) to recover damages against a director or officer for breach of the fiduciary duty of care as a director or officer (including breaches resulting from negligent or grossly negligent behavior), except under certain situations defined by statute. We believe that the indemnification provisions in our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.

        Our By Laws also provide that the Board of Directors may also authorize us to indemnify our employees or agents, and to advance the reasonable expenses of such persons, to the same extent, following the same determinations and upon the same conditions as are required for the indemnification of and advancement of expenses to our directors and officers. As of the date of this registration statement, the Board of Directors has not extended indemnification rights to persons other than directors and officers.

        Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Item 15.    Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.

        In the three years preceding the filing of this registration statement, we have issued the following securities that were not registered under the Securities Act, as amended:

        On March 24, 2017, the Company entered into an unsecured debt financing arrangement with Stillwater Trust LLC, an investor in the Company. In connection with the financing commitment, we

issued a warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock to this investor at an exercise price of $2.25 per share, the closing market price of the Company's common stock on the date the arrangement was executed. The issuance of the warrants was exempt from registration under section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Item 16.    Exhibits.

(a)   Exhibits.

        The exhibits to the registration statement are listed in the Exhibit Index to this registration statement and are incorporated herein by reference.

(b)   Financial Statement Schedules.

        Schedules not listed above have been omitted because the information required to be set forth therein is not applicable or is shown in the financial statements or notes thereto.

Item 17.    Undertakings.

        (a)   The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriter at the closing specified in the underwriting agreements, certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriter to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

        (b)   Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

        (c)   The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

          (i)  For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

         (ii)  For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
