3DIcon CORPORATION
(A Development Stage Company)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009
(Unaudited)

Note 1 – Uncertainties and Use of Estimates

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements of 3DIcon Corporation (the “Company”) have been prepared without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's year-end audited financial statements and related footnotes included in the previously filed 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2010, and the statements of its operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, and 2009 and the period from inception (January 1, 2001) to September 30, 2010, and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, and the period from inception (January 1, 2001) to September 30, 2010, have been included. The results of operations for interim periods may not be indicative of the results which may be realized for the full year.

Use of Estimates

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

Revenue Recognition

Revenues from software license fees are accounted for in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 985-650, “Software Revenue Recognition”.  The Company recognizes revenue when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable; and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. 

Grant revenue is recognized when earned.

Uncertainties

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.  The Company is in the development stage and has insufficient revenue and capital commitments to fund the development of its planned product and to pay operating expenses. Additionally, the Company has been unable to meet its monthly payment obligations and has therefore been in default of the Sponsored Research Agreement (“SRA”) (see Note 3).  A revised payment schedule was agreed to with the University of Oklahoma (“University”) in October 2008, March 2009, August 2009 and in February 2010.  Failure of the Company to meet its revised payment obligations could result in the termination of the SRA and any outstanding license agreements under the SRA.  The University immediately and without notice or opportunity to cure, may terminate any or all existing agreements between the parties, including but not limited to, the Exclusive License Agreement, the Facilities/Resources Use Agreement, and the SRAs.  The termination of the license agreement with the University would forfeit the Company’s rights to any or all intellectual property licensed to it under the terminated license. (see Note 10 – Subsequent Events)

The Company has realized a cumulative net loss of $13,769,533 for the period from inception (January 1, 2001) to September 30, 2010, and a net loss of $1,192,619 and $1,184,151 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern during the next year depends on the successful completion of the Company's capital raising efforts to fund the development of its planned products.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. 
 
8


Management plans to fund the future operations of the Company with existing cash, grants and investor funding. Under the terms of the Golden State debentures, Golden State may advance an additional $378,787.  The additional advance would be available if the Company filed a registration statement; however, the Company does not plan to file such registration statement. In addition, pursuant to the 4.75% Convertible Debenture due in 2011, beginning in November 2007, Golden State is obligated to submit conversion notices in an amount such that Golden State receives 1% of the outstanding shares of the Company every calendar quarter for a period of one year.  In connection with each conversion, Golden State is expected to exercise warrants equal to 10 times the amount of principal converted.  The warrants are exercisable at $10.90 per share.  The number of warrants exercisable is subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations contained in the 4.75% Debenture and the warrants (“the Beneficial Ownership Limitations”).  The Beneficial Ownership Limitations prevent Golden State from converting on the 4.75% Debenture or exercising warrants if such conversion or exercise would cause Golden State’s holdings to exceed 9.99% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock.  Subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitations, Golden State is required to convert $3,000 of the 4.75% Convertible Debenture and exercise 30,000 warrants per month.  Based upon our current stock price, our issued and outstanding shares as of September 30, 2010 and ignoring the impact of the Beneficial Ownership Limitations, the Company may receive up to $981,000 in funding from Golden State as a result of warrant exercises during the remainder of the year ended December 31, 2010.

The Company was approved for a matching grant from Oklahoma Center for the Advancement of Science and Technology (“OCAST”) on November 19, 2008 in the amount of approximately $300,000.  There remains $213,189 of grant funds to be provided during 2010 and 2011.  (see Note 4)

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

Note 2 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
The following are summaries of recent accounting pronouncements that are relevant to the Company:
 
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued new guidance on the accounting for transfers of financial assets. The new guidance requires additional disclosures for transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions, and any continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. There is no longer a concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity, and the requirements for derecognizing financial assets have changed. The Company has adopted this new guidance as of January 1, 2010. The adoption of this new guidance did not have any impact on its financial statements.
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued new guidance on the accounting for variable interest entities. The new guidance requires an enterprise to perform an analysis to determine whether the enterprise's variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity; to require ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity; to eliminate the quantitative approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity; to add an additional reconsideration event for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity when any changes in facts and circumstances occur such that holders of the equity investment at risk, as a group, lose the power from voting rights or similar rights of those investments to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance; and to require enhanced disclosures that will provide users of financial statements with more transparent information about an enterprise's involvement in a variable interest entity. The Company has adopted this new guidance as of January 1, 2010. The adoption of this new guidance did not have any impact on its financial statements.
 
In January 2010, the FASB issued new guidance on improving disclosures about fair value measurements. The new guidance does not change how fair values are measured. The Company has adopted this new guidance as of January 1, 2010. The adoption of this new guidance did not have any impact on its financial statements.

Note 3 – Sponsored Research Agreement (SRA)

On April 20, 2004, the Company entered into a SRA entitled "Investigation of Emerging Digital Holography Technologies" (“Phase I”) with the University of Oklahoma (“University”), which expired October 19, 2004. On July 15, 2005, the Company entered into a SRA with the University (“Phase II”), which expired January 14, 2007. Under this agreement the University conducted a research project entitled "Investigation of 3-Dimensional Display Technologies".  The agreement was modified in November 2006 to provide additional funding, and extended the term of the agreement through March 31, 2009. 

On February 23, 2007 the Company entered into a SRA with the University (“Phase III”) which expired March 31, 2010.  Under this agreement the University conducted a research project entitled “3-Dimensional Display Development” that seeks to make significant progress in the development of 3-dimensional display technologies.  The Company agreed to pay the University $3,468,595 payable in monthly installments ranging from $92,263 to $112,777 beginning April 30, 2007 and ending March 31, 2010.

On October 31, 2008 the University agreed to revise the payment terms under the SRA from a fixed monthly payment to a reimbursable cost payment basis effective September 1, 2008.  As of September 30, 2008 the Company had a remaining obligation under the previous SRA payment schedule of $2,665,818 which included monthly payments due for December 2007 through August 31, 2008 of $861,131.  The $1,804,687 balance of the remaining scheduled payment obligation was cancelled.  Under the terms of the revised base payments schedule, the arrearages would be paid in nine monthly base installments from October 31, 2008 to June 30, 2009 of amounts ranging from $35,000 to $101,132 leaving a remaining balance after the base payments of $290,000.  In addition to the monthly base payments, the Company agreed to make additional payments on the $861,131 arrearages based on a formula of 50% of funding in excess of $120,000 plus the base monthly payment.  Without additional payments, the remaining balance was $290,000, which the University accepted 4,264,707 shares of the Company’s common stock based on the October 14, 2008 market price as reported on the OTC Bulletin Board of $0.068 per share as payment on June 30, 2009.  The Company has the option to repurchase the shares at market value, but not less than $0.068 per share.
 
The Company was unable to meet the revised payment schedule and on May 18, 2009 the University agreed to revise the payment terms.  Under the terms of the revised base payments schedule, the arrearages scheduled to be paid in nine monthly base installments from October 31, 2008 to June 30, 2009 of amounts ranging from $35,000 to $101,132 were deferred to a monthly payment schedule of July 2009 through February 2010.
 
On February 19, 2010 the University agreed to modify the repayment plan to retire the outstanding debt of $525,481. Under the terms of the modified repayment plan the Company agreed to make payments to the University, not less than quarterly, in an amount equal to 22.5% of any funding received by the Company. Eligible funding shall include all revenues, investments in the Company, funding from current sources or other funding, provided, however, that grants or other similar funding with specific allocation to designated research and development projects shall be excluded from such calculation. The quarterly payments shall be made within thirty (30) days of the end of each calendar quarter.  The Company shall provide its financial statements to the University upon completion and submission to the SEC at the end of each quarter. These repayment terms shall remain in effect until the outstanding debt is retired. The University has the right at its sole discretion to request an independent audit of the Company’s financial statement the cost of which shall be borne solely by the Company.

Should the Company fail to report revenue or fail to timely pay any of the quarterly amounts owed above, the University immediately and without notice or opportunity to cure, may terminate any or all existing agreements between the parties, including but not limited to, the Exclusive License Agreement, the Facilities/Resources Use Agreement, and the SRAs.  The termination of the license agreement with the University would forfeit the Company’s rights to any or all intellectual property licensed to it under the terminated license.

At September 30, 2010, the Company owed the University $485,649 on the arrearages under the revised payment terms.  (see Note 10 – Subsequent Events)

Note 4 – OCAST Grant

 
The Oklahoma Center for the Advancement of Science and Technology approved the Company’s application for funding of a matching grant titled 800 Million Voxels Volumetric Display, on November 19, 2008.  The two-year matching grant, totaling $299,932, had a start date of January 1, 2009.  The award is for a maximum of $149,940 for 2009 and the remainder for 2010.  The Company received $51,672 and $23,403 from the grant during the periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, and $86,811 inception to date.  The Company received approval for our no cost extension request for the first year of the contract. With the new modification, the first year ends on August 31, 2010. Funding beyond August 31, 2010 is contingent upon satisfactory performance evaluation and the availability of funds.

6.25% Convertible Debenture due October 24, 2010

On November 21, 2007, the Company issued and sold a convertible note in the principal amount of $1,250,000 to Golden State (the “Debenture”).  Pursuant to the terms of the Debenture, Golden State may, at its election, convert all or a part of the Debenture into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion rate equal to the lesser of (i) $2.00 or (ii) 90% of the average of the five lowest volume weighted average prices during the twenty trading days prior to Golden State’s election to convert, subject to adjustment as provided in the Debenture.  In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Debenture, the Company agreed to file a registration statement covering the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion or redemption of the Debenture.  The Company filed a registration statement covering the shares to be issued upon conversion of the Debenture.  Included in the registration statement were 4.25 million shares issuable on the Debenture based on 2007 market prices and assuming full conversion of the convertible debenture.  The registration statement became effective on January 4, 2008.
 
Golden State advanced $125,000 on the $1.25 million Debenture on November 9, 2007and $746,213 in January 2008 at which time the Company placed 7,961,783 shares of common stock in escrow to be released as debentures are converted. As of September 30, 2010, Golden State has funded an aggregate of $871,213 on the Debenture. Golden State will be obligated to fund the Company for the remaining $378,787 in principal on the Debenture upon the effectiveness of a registration statement underlying the remaining unfunded principal balance on the Debenture. At this time, the Company has not filed a registration statement.  At various dates during 2009, $115,043, of the Debenture was converted into 12,124,828 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $0.007 to $0.01 based on the formula in the convertible debenture.   At various dates during 2010, $137,938, of the Debenture was converted into 47,141,415 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $0.0028 to $0.003 based on the formula in the convertible debenture. Shares remaining in escrow and reported as outstanding at September 30, 2010 total 4,310,449.

The conversion price for the $1.25 million Debenture is the lesser of (i) $2.00 or (ii) 90% of the average of the five lowest volume weighted average prices during the twenty (20) trading days prior to the conversion.  If Golden State elects to convert a portion of the debenture and, on the day that the election is made, the volume weighted average price is below $0.75, the Company shall have the right to prepay that portion of the debenture that Golden State elected to convert, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, at 135% of such amount.

In addition to standard default provisions concerning timeliness of payments, delivery and notifications, the Second Debenture will be in default if the common stock of the Company trades at a price per share of $0.21 or lower, regardless of whether the trading price subsequently is higher than $0.21 per share.  The trading price was at $0.21 or lower on several occasions during and subsequent to the period ended September 30, 2010. On each of the occasions Golden State, by separate letter agreements, agreed that the occasions did not constitute a default and thereby waived the default provision for those occasions only.  (see Note 10 -Subsequent Events) 

4.75% Convertible Debenture due November 3, 2011

On November 3, 2006, the Company also issued to Golden State a 4.75% convertible debenture in a principal amount of $100,000, due 2011, and warrants to buy 1,000,000 shares of the common stock at an exercise price of $10.90 per share.   Under the terms of the debenture, warrants are exercised in an amount equal to ten times the dollar amount of the debenture conversion.  During 2009, Golden State converted $3,510 of the $100,000 debenture into 35,622,803 shares of common stock, exercised warrants to purchase 35,100 shares of common stock at $10.90 per share and the Company received $382,590 from the exercise of the warrants.  During 2009 Golden State advanced $240,000 against future exercises of warrants and applied $4,181 of accrued interest due on the debenture to the advance account of which $336,170 was applied to the exercise of warrants leaving $48,511 of unapplied advances at December 31, 2009.  During 2010, Golden State converted $2,752 of the $100,000 debenture into 96,297,928  shares of common stock, exercised warrants to purchase 27,523 shares of common stock at $10.90 per share and advanced $251,489 against future exercises of warrants of which $300,000 was applied to the exercise of warrants leaving $-0- of unapplied advances at September 30, 2010.
 
11


The conversion price for the 4.75% $100,000 convertible debenture is the lesser of (i) $4.00 or (ii) 80% of the average of the five lowest volume weighted average prices during the twenty (20) trading days prior to the conversion.  If Golden State elects to convert a portion of the debenture and, on the day that the election is made, the volume weighted average price is below $0.75, the Company shall have the right to prepay that portion of the debenture that Golden State elected to convert, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, at 135% of such amount.

Newton, O’Connor, Turner & Ketchum 10% Convertible Debenture due September 30, 2010
 
On May 22, 2009, the Company issued to Newton, O’Connor, Turner & Ketchum, a professional corporation (“NOTK”) and the legal counsel to the Company through 2008, a 10% convertible debenture in a principal amount of $100,703, due September 30, 2009, and warrants to purchase 4,378,394 shares of the common stock at an exercise price of $0.09 per share through September 30, 2010 and an exercise price of $0.18 per share through September 30, 2014.  The Company was indebted to NOTK for legal services performed for the Company and reimbursement of expenses in rendition of those services for the period ended December 31, 2008. The debenture and the warrants were issued in settlement of the indebtedness.  The debentures and warrants were recorded at their pro rata fair values in relation to the proceeds received.  The warrants were valued at $13,504. The difference between the pro rata fair value and face value of the debenture was charged to operations in 2009. 

The estimated fair value of the warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The expected dividend yield of $-0- is based on the average annual dividend yield as of the grant date. Expected volatility of 160.73% is based on the historical volatility of the stock since July 25, 2007, the day the Company began trading on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board. The risk-free interest rate of 2.23% is based on the U.S. Treasury Constant Maturity rates as of the grant date. The expected life of the warrant of two years is based on historical exercise behavior and expected future experience. 

On June 30, 2010, Newton, O'Connor, Turner & Ketchum agreed to extend the March 31, 2010 due date of their 10% debenture to September 30, 2010 in consideration for two million five hundred thousand (2,500,000) shares of common stock.  The shares, which are restricted under SEC Section 144, were valued at 50% of the average of the previous five day closing price on March 1, 2010, which was $0.002 per share totaling $5,175.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our financial statements, included herewith. This discussion should not be construed to imply that the results discussed herein will necessarily continue into the future, or that any conclusion reached herein will necessarily be indicative of actual operating results in the future. Such discussion represents only the best present assessment of our management.

Plan of Operation

Background:
 
The Company is engaged in the development of 360o volumetric imaging and display technology, specifically in the areas identified by the initial in-depth investigation conducted by the University.  The identified areas are two major complementary areas of technology that comprise the spectrum of the solution and application (1) a means of recording 3D objects as digital holographic data elements (capture); and (2) a means of reconstructing and displaying the 3D images (display).

Based on the investigation as well as review of existing patents and technologies, it was concluded that the area of 3-D image capture and recording had multiple solutions and technologies that adequately served the market. Therefore our primary area of focus is to develop products and intellectual property in the reconstruction and display of 3D images where we see the most opportunity. We aim to establish strategic partnerships with the assignees or license holders of existing 3D recording technologies as well as integrate our technologies with existing solutions.

The existing products reviewed can generally be broken down into two broad categories: stereoscopic - those that use flat-panels to implement 3D displays on 2D screens, and those that implement volumetric 3D displays. The flat-panel approaches, as previously noted, do not support 3DIcon’s planned embodiment of the technology. However, the application space of volumetric 3D displays supports the Company vision and appears to offer major opportunities for further technology development and creation of intellectual property through our staff and the University, to which 3DIcon will have exclusive rights.

The research team at the University and our Chief Technology Officer have been working to integrate open source image capture applications as well as to establish 3D image capture systems.

We continue to build intellectual property through our staff and the University, to which 3DIcon has exclusive rights and engage in product research and development both directly related to the display as well as by-product technologies.

The Oklahoma Center for the Advancement of Science and Technology approved the Company’s application for funding of a matching grant titled 800 Million Voxels Volumetric Display, on November 19, 2008.  The two-year matching grant, totaling $299,932, has a start date of January 1, 2009.  The award is for a maximum of $149,940 for 2009 and the remainder for 2010.  The Company received $35,139 from the grant during 2009 and $51,672 during the first nine months of 2010.  We received approval for our no cost extension request for the first year of the contract. With the new modification, the first year ended on August 31, 2010. Funding beyond August 31, 2010 is contingent upon satisfactory performance evaluation and the availability of funds.

Current Activities and Operations
 
Currently the Company is pursuing the research and development of volumetric 3-D display technology through the Sponsored Research Agreement (“SRA”) with the University and with Dr. Hakki Refai, the former chief researcher at the University, who joined the Company as our Chief Technology Officer in October 2008.  Our efforts are focused on multiple technological approaches, two of which are being further developed into proof-of-concept demonstration systems:

Static Volume Display Technology: Also known as CSpace®™, 3DIcon has produced the first non-mechanical, 360-degree, multi-view, high-resolution volumetric display. A prototype was demonstrated during September 2008, when a 3D image was created within a proprietary volumetric media (also called projection space or image matrix). This technology incorporates existing and rapidly evolving image projection technologies, such as DLP®/DMD technology from Texas Instruments, allowing 3DIcon to pursue full-color, full-motion 3D visualization, in harmony with 3DIcon’s vision for product development.
 
16


Swept Volume Display Technology: Additional work on this particular approach has been deferred indefinitely because of the success and initial superiority of the CSpace®™ technology.

We have also released a software product called Pixel Precision™. The current version of the software is 2.0 that was released on February 12, 2009 to expand its capabilities and provide new compatibility with Texas Instrument’s newly released DLP® Discovery 4000 kits. We plan to continue to pursue this market and provide versions and variations of this software. The plans include enhancements to the functionality as well as variants to address additional opportunities.

We have signed a sales and distribution agreement with Digital Light Innovations (DLi) for the sales, marketing and first level support of the Pixel Precision™ software. Through DLi and its sub-distributors the software will be marketed in the United States as well as in Europe and Asia.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $66,464 as compared to $56,596 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The change in interest expense resulted from decreases in the amounts outstanding on our convertible debentures and increased finance charges on accounts payable outstanding during the periods.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

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

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

Our independent registered public accountants, in their audit report accompanying our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009, expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern due to our status as a development stage organization with insufficient revenues to fund development and operating expenses.

We had net cash of $2,416 at September 30, 2010.

We had negative working capital of $1,707,238 at September 30, 2010.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we used $260,192 of cash for operating activities, an decrease of $163,987 or 39% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The decrease in the use of cash for operating activities was a result of the utilization of stock and options issued for services and an increase in the accounts payable.

We did not use cash in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.

Cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $261,490 a decrease of $177,380 or 40% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2009.  The decrease was the result of the decreased shares issued for cash, debenture conversions and related warrant exercise in 2010.

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

Our ability to fund the operations of the Company is highly dependent on the underlying stock price of the Company. As a result of our stock price being around the 52 week low mark of $0.0025 on July 7, 2010 but trending upward, our ability to raise cash is currently restricted.

Pursuant to the 4.75% Convertible Debenture due in 2011, beginning in November 2007, Golden State is obligated to submit conversion notices in an amount such that Golden State receives 1% of the outstanding shares of the Company every calendar quarter for a period of one year.  In connection with each conversion, Golden State is expected to exercise warrants equal to ten times the amount of principal converted.  The warrants are exercisable at $10.90 per share.  Beginning in November 2008, Golden State is required to convert $3,000 of the 4.75% Convertible Debenture and exercise 30,000 warrants per month.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, Golden State converted $2,752 of the $100,000 debenture into 96,291,928 shares of common stock, exercised warrants to purchase 27,523 shares of common stock at $10.90 per share and advanced $251,490 against future exercises of warrants of which $300,000 was applied to the exercise of warrants leaving $-0- of unapplied advances at September 30, 2010.

On November 19, 2008, we received a research grant from OCAST titled the "800 Million Voxels Volumetric Display."  The two-year matching grant totals $299,932.  The award is for a maximum of $149,940 for the calendar year 2009 and the remainder for calendar year 2010.  Funding of the 2009 amount was contingent upon the Company providing matching funds for the first year’s research and submission of all required documentation to OCAST.  We received approval for our no cost extension request for the first year of the contract. With the new modification, the first year ended August 31, 2010.  We received $51,672 in funding during the period ended September 30, 2010.  Funding beyond 2010 is contingent upon satisfactory performance evaluation and the availability of funds.

The Company was unable to meets it monthly payment obligations under the SRA and received notification from the University that they were in default.  A new payment schedule was negotiated.   Failure of the Company to meet its payment obligations under the new payments schedule could result in the termination of the SRA, termination of the related projects and termination of any outstanding license agreements under the SRA.

On October 31, 2008 the University agreed to revise the payment terms under the SRA from a fixed monthly payment to a reimbursable cost payment basis effective September 1, 2008. As of September 30, 2008 the Company had a remaining obligation under the previous SRA payment schedule of $2,665,818 which includes monthly payments due for December 2007 through August 31, 2008 of $861,131.  The $1,804,687 balance of the remaining scheduled payment obligation was cancelled.  Under the terms of the revised base payments schedule, the arrearages would be paid in nine monthly base installments from October 31, 2008 to June 30, 2009 of amounts ranging from $35,000 to $101,132 leaving a remaining balance after the base payments of $290,000.  In addition to the monthly base payments, the Company agreed to make additional payments on the $861,131 arrearages based on a formula of 50% of funding in excess $120,000 plus the base monthly payment.  In the event funding does not provide for any additional payments, the remaining balance would be $290,000, which the University agreed to accept 4,264,707 shares of the Company’s common stock based on the October 14, 2008 market price as reported on the OTC Bulletin Board of $0.068 per share as payment on June 30, 2009.  The Company has the option to repurchase the shares at market value, but not less than $0.068 per share.
 
The Company was unable to meet the revised payment schedule and on May 18, 2009 the University agreed to revise the payment terms.  Under the terms of the revised base payments schedule, the arrearages scheduled to be paid in nine monthly base installments from October 31, 2008 to June 30, 2009 of amounts ranging from $35,000 to $101,132 were deferred to a monthly payment schedule of July 2009 through February 2010.  On February 19, 2010 the University agreed to modify the repayment plan to retire the outstanding debt of $525,481.  Under the terms of the modified repayment plan the Company agreed to make payments to the University, not less than quarterly, in an amount equal to 22.5% of any funding received by the Company.  Eligible funding shall include all revenues, investments in the Company, funding from current sources or other funding, provided, however, that grants or other similar funding with specific allocation to designated research and development projects shall be excluded from such calculation. The quarterly payments shall be made within thirty (30) days of the end of each calendar quarter.  The first quarterly payment was due to the University on April 30, 2010 and was paid May 19, 2010.  The Company shall provide its financial statements to the University upon completion and submission to the SEC at the end of each quarter. These repayment terms shall remain in effect until the outstanding debt is retired. The University has the right at its sole discretion to request an independent audit of the Company’s financial statements the cost of which shall be borne solely by the Company.

In addition management put forward a proposal to the Board to reduce operating expenses further through temporary salary cuts, partial payments to consultants using stock and reduction in day-to-day expenses. This, along with other measures, has reduced our current cash flow burn rate to an estimated amount of $130,000 to $150,000 per month.

We also intend to raise additional funds as permitted by the terms of Golden State financing, to help with the short term capital needs.

Significant Accounting Policies
 
Research and Development Costs

Accounting Standards Codification (“ACS”) No. 730, “Research and Development,” requires that all research and development costs be expensed as incurred. Until we have developed a commercial product, all costs incurred in connection with the Sponsored Research Agreement with the University of Oklahoma, as well as all other research and development costs incurred, will be expensed. After a commercial product has been developed, we will report costs incurred in producing products for sale as assets, but we will continue to expense costs incurred for further product research and development activities.

Stock-Based Compensation

Since its inception 3DIcon has used its common stock or warrants to purchase its common stock as a means of compensating our employees and consultants. ACS No. 718 “Compensation- Stock Compensation” requires us to estimate the value of securities used for compensation and to charge such amounts to expense over the periods benefited.
 
The estimated fair value at date of grant of options for our common stock is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, as follows: 
The expected dividend yield is based on the average annual dividend yield as of the grant date. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of our stock.  The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury Constant Maturity rates as of the grant date. The expected life of the option is based on historical exercise behavior and expected future experience.

Common stock and paid-in-capital

During the nine- month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 shares of common stock totaling 67,184,416 and 42,039,444 respectively were issued for consulting services for which the Company recognized $150,835 and $410,105 of expense respectively.  Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 shares totaling 79,157,897 were issued to consultant for previous services provided to the Company for which the accounts payable liability was reduced by $244,236.


Under the terms of an employment agreement dated July 28, 2008 with Dr. Hakki Refai (the “Employment Agreement”) pursuant to which Dr. Refai agreed to serve as the Chief Technology Officer of the Company, Dr. Refai was granted 5,000,000 incentive stock options with a term of 10 years and an exercise price of $0.085 per share which would vest over a period of time based upon certain technical achievements, product deliverables and milestones as provided in the Employment Agreement.  On May 11, 2010 the Board of Directors of the Company agreed to immediately vest the options.  The total value of the options was $268,979 of which $100,867 was charged to operations in 2008.  The remaining value of $168,112 was charged to operations in the second quarter of 2010.

The estimated fair market value of the options was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The expected dividend yield of $-0- is based on the average annual dividend yield as of the grant date. Expected volatility of 95.50% is based on the historical volatility of the stock since July 25, 2007, the day the Company began trading on the OTC Bulletin Board. The risk-free interest rate of 2.0% is based on the U.S. Treasury Constant Maturity rates as of the grant date. The expected life of the option of five years is based on historical exercise behavior and expected future experience.
