 PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

 

The following summary highlights selected information contained in this prospectus. This summary does not contain all the information you should consider before investing in the securities. Before making an investment decision, you should read the entire prospectus carefully, including the “Risk Factors” section, the financial statements and the notes to the financial statements.

 

References in this prospectus to “3DIcon,” “the Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” refer to 3DIcon Corporation.

 

3DICON CORPORATION

 

Our mission is to pursue, develop and market full-color volumetric 3D display technology. Through a Sponsored Research Agreement with the University of Oklahoma (the “University” or “OU”), we have obtained the exclusive worldwide marketing rights to certain 3D display technologies under development by the University. The development to date has resulted in the University filing seven provisional patents; six of the seven provisional patents have been combined and converted to four utility patents.

 

On May 26, 2009, the United States Patent and Trademark Office ("USPTO") approved the pending patent called "Volumetric Liquid Crystal Display" for rendering a three-dimensional image and converted it to US patent No. 7,537,345. On December 28, 2010, USPTO approved the pending patent called “Light Surface Display for Rendering a Three-Dimensional Image,” and issued the United States Patent No. 7,858,913.  This patent describes what we are calling our CSpace®™ technology (“CSpace”).

 

We plan to market the technology and the intellectual property developed by the University and our staff by targeting various industries, such as retail, manufacturing, entertainment, medical, healthcare, transportation, homeland security and the military.

 

On April 6, 2009, we filed a provisional patent on an emissive two-dimensional (“2D”) screen that is controlled and driven by a standard digital light projector or other optical input source. This provisional patent is called "Flexible/Inflexible Front/Back Projection screen or display" and owned solely by 3DIcon Corporation.   Through the current agreement with the University of Oklahoma, OU filed a continuation patent application on November 19, 2010, called “3D Light Surface Display”.  This application provides additional protections of our CSpace®™ technology.

 

We have only been engaged in our current and proposed business operations since January 2001, and to date, we have been primarily focused on the development of 360-degree volumetric imaging and display technology.

 

Since March of 2012, the Company has been exploring the possibility of developing and marketing glasses-free flat screen 3D displays based on next generation glasses-free flat screen 3D display technology acquired or licensed from another company. This acquired technology and any resultant display products would be in addition to and complementary with our internally developed CSpace glasses-free volumetric 3D display technology. Recently, the company has met with multiple glasses-free flat screen 3D display companies, is in discussion with several of these companies about a potential acquisition or partnership, and is engaged in non-binding discussions to acquire one of these companies. Currently, we do not have any agreements in place that would allow such entry into the flat screen segment of the glasses-free 3D display industry and no assurances can be made, if an acquisition or partnership is consummated, that the Company could successfully bring to market such technology.

RISK FACTORS

 

This investment has a high degree of risk. Before you invest you should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below and the other information in this prospectus. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, prospects, results of operation and financial condition could be harmed and the value of our stock could go down. This means you could lose all or a part of your investment.

 

Risks Relating to Our Business

 

We have a limited operating history, as well as a history of operating losses.

 

We have a limited operating history. We cannot assure you that we can achieve revenue or sustain revenue growth or profitability in the future. We have a cumulative net loss of $16,798,827 for the period from inception (January 1, 2001) to March 31, 2012. Our operations are subject to the risks and competition inherent in the establishment of a business enterprise. Unanticipated problems, expenses, and delays are frequently encountered in establishing a new business and marketing and developing products. These include, but are not limited to, competition, the need to develop customers and market expertise, market conditions, sales, marketing and governmental regulation. Our failure to meet any of these conditions would have a materially adverse effect upon us and may force us to reduce or curtail our operations. Revenues and profits, if any, will depend upon various factors. We may not achieve our business objectives and the failure to achieve such goals would have an adverse impact on our business.

 

Currently, our only significant assets are our Sponsored Research Agreement with the University and the exclusive license agreement covering the technology on which the University and the Company are working. Our ability to accomplish our business plan relies entirely on our ability to successfully develop marketable 3D display technology.

 

Our only significant assets at the present time are our Sponsored Research Agreement with the University and the exclusive license agreement covering the technology on which the University and the Company are currently working. In October 2008, Dr. Hakki Refai, the former chief researcher at the University joined the Company as our Chief Technology Officer. Any technology independently developed by the Company subsequent to October 2008, will be the sole property of 3DIcon. If we or the University researchers are not successful in developing 3D display technology that we have envisioned in our business plan, our ability to generate revenues from marketing of the product or technologies on which our business plan is based will be severely impacted, which could threaten the very existence of the Company.

 

Even if we or the University researchers are successful in developing 3D display technology, because of the revolutionary nature of such technology (i.e., no similar technology currently exists, and there are numerous unknowns relating to the technology, such as manufacturing costs and operational costs), there can be no assurance that our marketing plans for the technology will be successful.

 

Therefore, the fact that our success depends significantly on our efforts to develop a technologically challenging new product that will be in a form readily marketable and acceptable to a given market, and our ability to then successfully market such technology, makes an investment in the Company much more risky than a comparable investment in other companies that may have a broad range of existing, proven products.

 

We may not be able to compete successfully.

 

Although the volumetric 3D imaging and display technology that we are attempting to develop is new, and although at present we are aware of only a limited number of companies that have publicly disclosed their attempts to develop similar technology, we anticipate a number of companies are or will attempt to develop technologies/products that compete or will compete with our technologies. Further, even if we are the first to market with a technology of this type, and even if the technology is protected by patents or otherwise, because of the vast market and communications potential of such a product, we anticipate the market will be flooded by a variety of competitors (including traditional display companies), many of which will offer a range of products in areas other than those in which we compete, which may make such competitors more attractive to prospective customers. In addition, many if not all of our competitors and potential competitors will initially be larger and have greater financial resources than we do. Some of the companies with which we may now be in competition, or with which we may compete in the future, have or may have more extensive research, marketing and manufacturing capabilities and significantly greater technical and personnel resources than we do, even given our relationship to the University, and may be better positioned to continue to improve their technology in order to compete in an evolving industry. Further, technology in this industry may evolve rapidly once an initially successful product is introduced, making timely product innovations and use of new technologies essential to our success in the marketplace. The introduction by our competitors of products with improved technologies or features may render any product we initially market obsolete and unmarketable. If we or our partners are not able to deliver to market products that respond to industry changes in a timely manner, or if our products do not perform well, our business and financial condition will be adversely affected.

 

5
 

 

The technologies being developed may not gain market acceptance.

 

The products that we are currently developing utilize new technologies. As with any new technologies, in order for us to be successful, these technologies must gain market acceptance. Since the technologies that we anticipate introducing to the marketplace will exploit or encroach upon markets that presently utilize or are serviced by products from competing technologies, meaningful commercial markets may not develop for our technologies.

  

In addition, the development efforts of 3DIcon and the University on the 3D technology are subject to unanticipated delays, expenses or technical or other problems, as well as the possible insufficiency of funding to complete development. Our success will depend upon the ultimate products and technologies meeting acceptable cost and performance criteria, and upon their timely introduction into the marketplace. The proposed products and technologies may never be successfully developed, and even if developed, they may not satisfactorily perform the functions for which they are designed. Additionally, these may not meet applicable price or performance objectives. Unanticipated technical or other problems may occur which would result in increased costs or material delays in their development or commercialization.

 

If we are unable to successfully retain existing management and recruit qualified personnel having experience in our business, we may not be able to continue our operations.

 

Our success depends to a significant extent upon the continued services of our Board of Directors, management officers and our Chief Technology Officer.  Our success also depends on our ability to attract and retain other key executive officers.

 

Our auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we do not continue as a going concern, investors will lose their entire investment.

 

In their report dated April 6, 2012, our auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. These concerns arise from the fact that we are a development stage organization with insufficient revenues to fund development and operating expenses. If we are unable to continue as a going concern, you could lose your entire investment in us.

 

We will need significant additional capital, which we may be unable to obtain.

 

Our capital requirements in connection with our development activities and transition to commercial operations have been and will continue to be significant. We will require approximately $2.5 million additional funds over the next two years to continue research, development and testing of our technologies, to obtain intellectual property protection relating to our technologies when appropriate, and to improve and market our technologies. There can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

 

Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property

 

If we fail to establish, maintain and enforce intellectual property rights with respect to our technology and/or licensed technology, our financial condition, results of operations and business could be negatively impacted.

 

Our ability to establish, maintain and enforce intellectual property rights with respect to our technology and the University’s ability to establish, maintain and enforce intellectual property rights with respect to our exclusively licensed technology, once successfully developed into 3D display technology that we intend to market, will be a significant factor in determining our future financial and operating performance. We seek to protect our intellectual property rights by relying on a combination of patent, trade secret and copyright laws. We also use confidentiality and other provisions in our agreements that restrict access to and disclosure of its confidential know-how and trade secrets.

 

Outside of our pending patent applications, we seek to protect our technology as trade secrets and technical know-how. However, trade secrets and technical know-how are difficult to maintain and do not provide the same legal protections provided by patents. In particular, only patents will allow us to prohibit others from using independently developed technology that are similar. If competitors develop knowledge substantially equivalent or superior to our trade secrets and technical know-how, or gain access to our knowledge through other means such as observation of our technology that embodies trade secrets at customer sites which we do not control, the value of our trade secrets and technical know-how would be diminished.

 

6
 

 

While we strive to maintain systems and procedures to protect the confidentiality and security of our trade secrets and technical know-how, these systems and procedures may fail to provide an adequate degree of protection. For example, although we generally enter into agreements with our employees, consultants, advisors, and strategic partners restricting the disclosure and use of trade secrets, technical know-how and confidential information, we cannot provide any assurance that these agreements will be sufficient to prevent unauthorized use or disclosure. In addition, some of the technology deployed at customer sites in the future, which we do not control, may be readily observable by third parties who are not under contractual obligations of non-disclosure, which may limit or compromise our ability to continue to protect such technology as a trade secret.

 

While we are not currently aware of any infringement or other violation of our intellectual property rights, monitoring and policing unauthorized use and disclosure of intellectual property is difficult. If we learned that a third party was in fact infringing or otherwise violating our intellectual property, we may need to enforce our intellectual property rights through litigation. Litigation relating to our intellectual property may not prove successful and might result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention.

 

If our technology is licensed to customers at some point in the future, the strength of the intellectual property under which we would to grant licenses can be a critical determinant of the value of such potential licenses. If we are unable to secure, protect and enforce our intellectual property now and in the future, it may become more difficult for us to attract such customers.  Any such development could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

 

We may face claims that we are violating the intellectual property rights of others.

 

Although we are not aware of any potential violations of others’ intellectual property rights, we may face claims, including from direct competitors, other companies, scientists or research universities, asserting that our technology or the commercial use of such technology infringes or otherwise violates the intellectual property rights of others. We cannot be certain that our technologies and processes do not violate the intellectual property rights of others. If we are successful in developing technologies that allow us to earn revenues and our market profile grows we could become increasingly subject to such claims.

 

We may also face infringement claims from the employees, consultants, agents and outside organizations we have engaged to develop our technology. While we have sought to protect ourselves against such claims through contractual means, we cannot provide any assurance that such contractual provisions are adequate, and any of these parties might claim full or partial ownership of the intellectual property in the technology that they were engaged to develop.

 

If we were found to be infringing or otherwise violating the intellectual property rights of others, we could face significant costs to implement work-around methods, and we cannot provide any assurance that any such work-around would be available or technically equivalent to our potential technology. In such cases, we might need to license a third party’s intellectual property, although any required license might not be available on acceptable terms, or at all. If we are unable to work around such infringement or obtain a license on acceptable terms, we might face substantial monetary judgments against us or an injunction against continuing to use or license such technology, which might cause us to cease operations.

 

In addition, even if we are not infringing or otherwise violating the intellectual property rights of others, we could nonetheless incur substantial costs in defending ourselves in suits brought against us for alleged infringement. Also, if we are to enter into a license agreement in the future and it provides that we will defend and indemnify our customer licensees for claims against them relating to any alleged infringement of the intellectual property rights of third parties in connection with such customer licensees’ use of such technologies, we may incur substantial costs defending and indemnifying any customer licensees to the extent they are subject to these types of claims. Such suits, even if without merit, would likely require our management team to dedicate substantial time to addressing the issues presented. Any party bringing claims might have greater resources than we do, which could potentially lead to us settling claims against which we might otherwise prevail on the merits.

 

Any claims brought against us or any customer licensees alleging that we have violated the intellectual property of others could have negative consequences for our financial condition, results of operations and business, each of which could be materially adversely affected as a result.

 

Risks Relating to Our Current Financing Arrangements:

 

There are a large number of shares underlying our convertible debentures, and warrants that may be available for future sale and the sale of these shares may depress the market price of our common stock.

 

As of June 29, 2012, we had 39,570,228 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and convertible debentures outstanding that may be converted into an estimated 48,187,404 shares of common stock at current market prices. The number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the outstanding convertible debentures may increase if the market price of our stock declines. We also have outstanding warrants issued to Golden State Equity Investors, Inc. f/k/a Golden Gate Investors ("Golden State") to purchase 22,543 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $381.50. The sale of the shares underlying the convertible debentures and warrants may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

 

Our obligation to issue shares upon conversion of our convertible debentures is essentially limitless.

 

7
 

 

The conversion price of our convertible debentures is continuously adjustable, which could require us to issue a substantially greater number of shares, which will cause dilution to our existing stockholders.  

 

The following is an example of the amount of shares of our common stock that are issuable, upon conversion of our 4.75% $100,000 convertible debenture (excluding accrued interest) issued to Golden State on November 3, 2006, based on the remaining principal balance of $78,092 and market prices 25%, 50% and 75% below the market price as of June 29, 2012 of $0.22.

The following is an example of the amount of shares of our common stock that are issuable, upon conversion of the $1.25 million convertible debenture issued to Golden State on January 15, 2008 (the "Second Debenture") (excluding accrued interest), based on the principal balance of $31,788 and market prices 25%, 50% and 75% below the market price as of June 29, 2012 of $0.22.

 75%  $0.055   $0.049    642,189    1.6%

 

As illustrated, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of our convertible debentures will increase if the market price of our stock declines, which will cause dilution to our existing stockholders.

 

The continuously adjustable conversion price feature of our convertible debentures may encourage investors to make short sales in our common stock, which could have a depressive effect on the price of our common stock.

 

So long as the market price of our stock is below $4.00, the issuance of shares in connection with the conversion of the $100,000 convertible debenture results in the issuance of shares at an effective 20% discount to the trading price of the common stock prior to the conversion. So long as the market price of our stock is below $2.00 the issuance of shares in connection with the conversion of the Second Debenture results in the issuance of shares at an effective 10% discount to the trading price of the common stock prior to the conversion. The significant downward pressure on the price of the common stock as the selling stockholder converts and sells material amounts of common stock could encourage short sales by investors. This could place further downward pressure on the price of the common stock. The selling stockholder could sell common stock into the market in anticipation of covering the short sale by converting their securities, which could cause the further downward pressure on the stock price. In addition, not only the sale of shares issued upon conversion or exercise of debentures and warrants, but also the mere perception that these sales could occur, may adversely affect the market price of the common stock.

 

The issuance of shares upon conversion of the convertible debentures and exercise of outstanding warrants may cause immediate and substantial dilution to our existing stockholders.

 

The issuance of shares upon conversion of our convertible debentures and exercise of warrants may result in substantial dilution to the interests of other stockholders since the selling stockholder may ultimately convert and sell the full amount issuable on conversion. Although Golden State may not convert its convertible debentures and/or exercise their warrants if such conversion or exercise would cause it to own more than 9.9% of our outstanding common stock, this restriction does not prevent the selling stockholder from converting and selling some of their holdings and then converting the rest of their holdings. In this way, assuming the market price remains at a level acceptable to the selling stockholder, the selling stockholder could continue on a "conversion-sell-conversion" trend while never holding more than 9.9% of our common stock. Further, under the convertible debentures there is theoretically no upper limit on the number of shares that may be issued, which will have the effect of further diluting the proportionate equity interest and voting power of holders of our common stock.

 

If we are unable to issue shares of common stock upon conversion of the convertible debenture as a result of our inability to increase our authorized shares of common stock or as a result of any other reason, we are required to pay penalties to Golden State, redeem the convertible debenture at 130% and/or compensate Golden State for any buy-in that it is required to make.

 

If we are unable to issue shares of common stock upon conversion of the convertible debenture as a result of our inability to increase our authorized shares of common stock or as a result of any other reason, we are required to:

 

  Pay late payments to Golden State for late issuance of common stock upon conversion of the convertible debenture, in the amount of $100 per business day after the delivery date for each $10,000 of convertible debenture principal amount being converted or redeemed;
  In the event we are prohibited from issuing common stock, or fail to timely deliver common stock on a delivery date, or upon the occurrence of an event of default, then at the election of Golden State, we must pay to Golden State a sum of money determined by multiplying up to the outstanding principal amount of the convertible debenture designated by Golden State by 130%, together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon; and

 

8
 

 

  If ten days after the date we are required to deliver common stock to Golden State pursuant to a conversion, Golden State purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of common stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by Golden State of the common stock which it anticipated receiving upon such conversion (a "Buy-In"), then we are required to pay in cash to Golden State the amount by which its total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of common stock so purchased exceeds the aggregate principal and/or interest amount of the convertible debenture for which such conversion was not timely honored, together with interest thereon at a rate of 15% per annum, accruing until such amount and any accrued interest thereon is paid in full.

 

In the event that we are required to pay penalties to Golden State or redeem the convertible debentures held by Golden State, we may be required to curtail or cease our operations.

 

 

Risks Relating to Our Common Stock:

 

The price of our common stock is volatile and fluctuations in our operating results and announcements and developments concerning our business affect our stock price, which may cause investment losses for our stockholders.

 

The market for our common stock is highly volatile and the trading price of our stock on the OTCBB is subject to wide fluctuations in response to, among other things, operating results, the number of stockholders desiring to sell their shares, changes in general economic conditions and the financial markets, the execution of new contracts and the completion of existing agreements and other developments affecting us. In addition, statements or changes in opinions, ratings, or earnings estimates made by brokerage firms or industry analysts relating to our market or relating to us could result in an immediate and adverse effect on the market price of our common stock. The highly volatile nature of our stock price may cause investment losses for our shareholders. In the past, securities class action litigation has often been brought against companies following periods of volatility in the market price of their securities. If securities class action litigation is brought against us, such litigation could result in substantial costs while diverting management’s attention and resources.

 

Our common stock is subject to the "Penny Stock" rules of the SEC and the trading market in our securities is limited, which makes transactions in our stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in our stock.

 

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a "penny stock," for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require:

 

  That a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks; and
  The broker or dealer receives from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.

 

In order to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must:

 

  Obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and
  Make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.

 

The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form:

 

  Sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and
  That the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction.

 

Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the "penny stock" rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock.

 

Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.

 

Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) sales practice requirements may limit a shareholder’s ability to buy and sell our common shares.

 

In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.

 

9
 

 

Our stock is thinly traded, so you may be unable to sell your shares at or near the quoted bid prices if you need to sell a significant number of your shares.

 

The shares of our common stock are thinly-traded on the OTC Bulletin Board, meaning that the number of persons interested in purchasing our common shares at or near bid prices at any given time may be relatively small or non-existent.  As a consequence, there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in our shares is minimal or non-existent, as compared to a seasoned issuer which has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on share price. We cannot give you any assurance that a broader or more active public trading market for our common shares will develop or be sustained, or that current trading levels will be sustained. Due to these conditions, we can give you no assurance that you will be able to sell your shares at or near bid prices or at all if you need money or otherwise desire to liquidate your shares.

 

Shares eligible for future sale may adversely affect the market.

 

From time to time, certain of our stockholders may be eligible to sell all or some of their shares of common stock by means of ordinary brokerage transactions in the open market pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, subject to certain limitations. In general, pursuant to amended Rule 144, non-affiliate stockholders may sell freely after six months subject only to the current public information requirement. Affiliates may sell after six months subject to the Rule 144 volume, manner of sale (for equity securities), current public information and notice requirements. Any substantial sales of our common stock pursuant to Rule 144 may have a material adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.

 

We could issue additional common stock, which might dilute the book value of our common stock.

 

Our Board of Directors has authority, without action or vote of our shareholders, to issue all or a part of our authorized but unissued shares. Such stock issuances could be made at a price that reflects a discount or a premium from the then-current trading price of our common stock. In addition, in order to raise capital, we may need to issue securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for a significant amount of our common stock. These issuances would dilute the percentage ownership interest, which would have the effect of reducing your influence on matters on which our shareholders vote, and might dilute the book value of our common stock. You may incur additional dilution if holders of stock options, whether currently outstanding or subsequently granted, exercise their options, or if warrant holders exercise their warrants to purchase shares of our common stock.


Our common stock could be further diluted as the result of the issuance of convertible securities, warrants or options.

 

In the past, we have issued convertible securities (such as convertible debentures and notes), warrants and options in order to raise money or as compensation for services and incentive compensation for our employees and directors. We have shares of common stock reserved for issuance upon the exercise of certain of these securities and may increase the shares reserved for these purposes in the future. Our issuance of these convertible securities, options and warrants could affect the rights of our stockholders, could reduce the market price of our common stock or could result in adjustments to exercise prices of outstanding warrants (resulting in these securities becoming exercisable for, as the case may be, a greater number of shares of our common stock), or could obligate us to issue additional shares of common stock to certain of our stockholders.

 

We do not intend to pay dividends.

 

We do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We may not have sufficient funds to legally pay dividends. Even if funds are legally available to pay dividends, we may nevertheless decide in our sole discretion not to pay dividends. The declaration, payment and amount of any future dividends will be made at the discretion of our board of directors, and will depend upon, among other things, the results of our operations, cash flows and financial condition, operating and capital requirements, and other factors our board of directors may consider relevant. There is no assurance that we will pay any dividends in the future, and, if dividends are paid, there is no assurance with respect to the amount of any such dividend.

 

If we fail to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting, the price of our common stock may be adversely affected.

 

Our internal control over financial reporting may have weaknesses and conditions that could require correction or remediation, the disclosure of which may have an adverse impact on the price of our common stock.  We are required to establish and maintain appropriate internal controls over financial reporting.  Failure to establish those controls, or any failure of those controls once established, could adversely affect our public disclosures regarding our business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.  In addition, management’s assessment of internal controls over financial reporting may identify weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal controls over financial reporting or other matters that may raise concerns for investors.  Any actual or perceived weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal control over financial reporting or disclosure of management’s assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting may have an adverse impact on the price of our common stock.

We are required to comply with certain provisions of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and if we fail to comply in a timely manner, our business could be harmed and our stock price could decline.

 

Rules adopted by the SEC pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 require an annual assessment of internal controls over financial reporting, and for certain issuers an attestation of this assessment by the issuer’s independent registered public accounting firm.  The standards that must be met for management to assess the internal controls over financial reporting as effective are evolving and complex, and require significant documentation, testing, and possible remediation to meet the detailed standards.  We expect to incur significant expenses and to devote resources to Section 404 compliance on an ongoing basis.  It is difficult for us to predict how long it will take or costly it will be to complete the assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting for each year and to remediate any deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting. As a result, we may not be able to complete the assessment and remediation process on a timely basis.  In addition, although attestation requirements by our independent registered public accounting firm are not presently applicable to us we could become subject to these requirements in the future and we may encounter problems or delays in completing the implementation of any resulting changes to internal controls over financial reporting.  In the event that our Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer determine that our internal control over financial reporting is not effective as defined under Section 404, we cannot predict how regulators will react or how the market prices of our shares will be affected; however, we believe that there is a risk that investor confidence and share value may be negatively affected.

 

Risks Related to this Offering

 

Our management team will have immediate and broad discretion over the use of the net proceeds from this offering and we may use the net proceeds in ways with which you disagree.

 

There is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to closing this offering and therefore net proceeds from this offering will be immediately available to our management to use at their discretion. We currently intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for repayment of debt and general corporate purposes. See “Use of Proceeds.” We have not allocated specific amounts of the net proceeds from this offering for any of the foregoing purposes. Accordingly, our management will have significant discretion and flexibility in applying the net proceeds of this offering. You will be relying on the judgment of our management with regard to the use of these net proceeds, and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used appropriately. It is possible that the net proceeds will be invested in a way that does not yield a favorable, or any, return for us or our stockholders. The failure of our management to use such funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operation.

 

You will experience immediate and substantial dilution as a result of this offering and may experience additional dilution in the future.

 

You will incur immediate and substantial dilution as a result of this offering. After giving effect to the sale by us of up to         shares offered in this offering at an assumed public offering price of $         per share, and after deducting underwriter’s discounts and commissions, if any, and estimated offering expenses payable by us, investors in this offering can expect an immediate dilution of $          per share, or          %, at the assumed public offering price. In addition, in the past, we issued options and warrants to acquire shares of common stock. To the extent these options are ultimately exercised, you will sustain future dilution. We may also acquire or license other technologies or finance strategic alliances by issuing equity, which may result in additional dilution to our stockholders.

 

If you are not an institutional investor, you may purchase shares in this offering only if you reside within the states in which we will apply to have the securities registered or are exempt from registration, and, if required, meet any requisite suitability standards.

 

Because our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board and not listed on a national securities exchange, this offering must be registered, or be exempt from registration, in any state in which the common stock and warrants are to be offered or sold. We will apply to register the common stock and warrants, or will seek to obtain an exemption from registration, only in certain states. In addition, if we register the common stock and warrants in the State of California, sales will only be made to residents of California who have not less than (i) a $60,000 liquid net worth (exclusive of home, home furnishings and automobile) plus $60,000 gross annual income, or (ii) a $225,000 liquid net worth. If you are not an “institutional investor,” you must be a resident of the jurisdictions to purchase our shares in the offering are registered or exempt from registration. The definition of an “institutional investor” varies from state to state, but generally includes financial institutions, broker-dealers, banks, insurance companies and other qualified entities. If you are not an institutional investor, you may purchase shares in this offering only if you reside in the jurisdictions where there is an effective registration or exemption, and, if required, meet any requisite suitability standards.

 

There is no public market for the offered securities other than our common stock.

 

Our common stock is traded on the OTC Bulletin Board and is not listed on any securities exchange. We have not registered any series of our currently issued and outstanding preferred stock for trading in the public securities markets and do not intend to do so. There is no established public trading market for any securities that we may offer and sell under this prospectus other than our common stock. Without an active market, the liquidity of the securities other than our common stock will be limited.

 

Because this is a direct public offering, with no minimum number of shares that must be sold, we may receive some or no proceeds.

 

This is a direct public offering by the Company of up to          shares of our common stock. There is no minimum number of shares that must be sold in the offering, we will retain the proceeds from the sale of any of the offered shares, and funds will not be returned to investors. As a result, we may receive some or no proceeds from the offering. If any proceeds are received, it is possible that such proceeds may not be sufficient to cover the costs of the offering.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Statements in this prospectus may be “forward-looking statements.” Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that express our intentions, beliefs, expectations, strategies, predictions or any other statements relating to our future activities or other future events or conditions. These statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our business based, in part, on assumptions made by management. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may, and are likely to, differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements due to numerous factors, including those described above and those risks discussed from time to time in this prospectus, including the risks described under “Risk Factors,” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this prospectus and in other documents which we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In addition, such statements could be affected by risks and uncertainties related to our ability to raise any financing which we may require for our operations, competition, government regulations and requirements, pricing and development difficulties, our ability to make acquisitions and successfully integrate those acquisitions with our business, as well as general industry and market conditions and growth rates, and general economic conditions. Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and we do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this prospectus, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

Based on an assumed public offering price of $     per share, we estimate that the net proceeds to us from the sale of the shares that we are offering, assuming gross proceeds of $      million, will be approximately $      million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses..

 

If a warrant holder elects to pay the exercise price, rather than exercising the warrants on a “cashless” basis, we may also receive proceeds from the exercise of warrants.  We cannot predict when, or if, the warrants will be exercised.  It is possible that the warrants may expire and may never be exercised.

 

We expect to use any proceeds received from this offering for repayment of debt and general corporate purposes, such as research and development, business development, working capital and capital expenditures.

 

Pending the application of the net proceeds as described above or otherwise, we may invest the proceeds in short-term, investment-grade, interest-bearing securities or guaranteed obligations of the U.S. government or other securities.

 

We have not allocated specific amounts of the net proceeds from this offering for any of the foregoing purposes. Accordingly, our management will have significant discretion and flexibility in applying the net proceeds of this offering.

Dividend Policy

 

We have not declared any dividends to date. We have no present intention of paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future, as we intend to use earnings, if any, to generate growth. The payment of dividends, if any, in the future, rests within the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend, among other things, upon our earnings, capital requirements and our financial condition, as well as other relevant factors. There are no restrictions in our Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws that restrict us from declaring dividends.

DILUTION

 

Our pro forma net tangible book value as of             , 2012 was $           or $       per share of common stock, based upon           shares outstanding as of that date. Net tangible book value per share is determined by dividing such number of outstanding shares of common stock into our net tangible book value, which is our total tangible assets less total liabilities. After giving effect to the sale of the shares in this offering at the assumed public offering price of $      per share, at          , 2012, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses payable by us, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value at          , 2012 would have been approximately          , or $          per share. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of approximately $          per share to our existing stockholders, and an immediate dilution of $           per share to investors purchasing shares in the offering.

 

The following table illustrates the per share dilution to investors purchasing shares in the offering:

 

Assumed public offering price per share   $    
Pro forma net tangible book value per share as of             , 2012   $    
Increase per share attributable to sale of shares to investors   $    
Pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share after the offering   $    
Dilution per share to investors   $    

 

The foregoing illustration does not reflect potential dilution from the exercise of outstanding options or warrants to purchase shares of our common stock. The foregoing illustration also does not reflect the dilution that would result from the underwriter warrants.

BUSINESS

 

Organizational History

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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 Company 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.  The award is for a maximum of $149,940 for 2009 and the remainder for 2011.  The Company earned 52,649 and $30,000 from the grant during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively and $270,473 from inception to date.  The Company received approval for our no cost extension request for the second year of the contract and, with the new modification, the second year ends on August 31, 2012.

 

Overview of Business

 

We are a development stage company. Our mission is to pursue, develop and market full-color volumetric 3D display technology. Through a Sponsored Research Agreement with the University of Oklahoma, we have obtained the exclusive worldwide marketing rights to certain 3D display technologies under development by the University. The development to date has resulted in the University filing seven provisional patents; six of the seven provisional patents have been combined and converted to four utility patents. On May 26, 2009, the United States Patent and Trademark Office approved the pending patent called "Volumetric Liquid Crystal Display" for rendering a three-dimensional image and converted it to US patent No. 7,537,345. On December 28, 2010, USPTO approved the pending patent called “Light Surface Display for Rendering a Three-Dimensional Image,” and issued the United States Patent No. 7,858,913.  This patent describes what we are calling our CSpace®™ technology. At this time, we do not own any intellectual property rights in these technologies, and, apart from the Sponsored Research Agreement with the University, have no contracts or agreements pending to acquire such rights or any other interest in such rights. We plan to market the technology and the intellectual property developed by the University and our staff by targeting various industries, such as retail, manufacturing, entertainment, medical, healthcare, transportation, homeland security and the military. On April 6, 2009, we filed a provisional patent on an emissive two-dimensional screen that is controlled and driven by a standard digital light projector or other optical input source. This provisional patent is called "Flexible/Inflexible Front/Back Projection screen or display" and owned solely by 3DIcon Corporation.   Through the current agreement with the University of Oklahoma, OU filed a continuation patent application on November 19, 2010, called “3D Light Surface Display”.  This application provides additional protections of our CSpace®™ technology.

 

Since March of 2012, the Company has been exploring the possibility of developing and marketing glasses-free flat screen 3D displays based on next generation glasses-free flat screen 3D display technology acquired or licensed from another company. This acquired technology and any resultant display products would be in addition to and complementary with our internally developed CSpace glasses-free volumetric 3D display technology. Recently, the company has met with multiple glasses-free flat screen 3D display companies, is in discussion with several of these companies about a potential acquisition or partnership, and is engaged in non-binding discussions to acquire one of these companies. Currently, we do not have any agreements in place that would allow such entry into the flat screen segment of the glasses-free 3D display industry and no assurances can be made, if an acquisition or partnership is consummated, that the Company could successfully bring to market such technology.

Overview of Development of 3D Technology

 

Pursuant to the Sponsored Research Agreement, a portfolio of 3D Display Technologies is being developed in using the following approaches:

 

  I – Swept Volume Displays - We have successfully achieved the initial demonstration and proof of technology for this approach.

 

  II – Static Volumetric Displays - Under Glass.

 

  III – Stacked Volume Displays - We also have investigated the technologies for developing innovative Stacked Volumetric Displays.

 

The Swept Volume Display is designed to be a 3D display system showing a volumetric image generated from an electronic medium. A proof-of-concept demonstration was achieved by the researchers around September 2007. The Swept Volume Display R&D entered into the subsequent second stage of improvement and development in 2008. Additional work on this particular approach has been deferred indefinitely because of the success and initial superiority of the CSpace®™ technology.

 

Our implementation of a Static Volume Display (CSpace®™) employs one or more Digital Micro-Mirror Devices (DMDs) and infra-red lasers to produce 3D images in advanced transparent nanotechnology materials, thereby enabling the creation, transmission and display of high resolution 3D images within a volume space, surrounded by glass or transparent screen. The initial investigation for the Static Volume system commenced in 2007. On September 2008, we built a laboratory prototype Static Volume Display using the CSpace®™ technology and demonstrated the creation of true 3D images within a specified image space. New developments for eliminating the distortion occurred by the divergence of the constructed 3D image have been presented at the SPIE Europe Security & Defense conference in Berlin, Germany in August 2009. Improvements for the optical systems utilized by CSpace®™ with the latest achieved resolution were published on October 2009 in IEEE/OSA Journal of Display Technology titled "Static Volumetric Three-Dimensional Display". On February 15, 2010, at the SPIE Medical Imaging conference, we presented the latest software developments that allow reading Digital Imaging and Communication In Medicine ("DICOM") formats whether scanned by ultrasound devices, magnetic resonance imaging ("MRI"), or computed tomography ("CT") scanners. With this new software architecture, Static Volume 3D displays based on the CSpace®™ technology would have the capability of displaying medical images.

 

On April 14, 2010, at the OSA Digital Holography and Three-Dimensional Imaging conference in Miami, FL, we presented an increase in brightness of the constructed 3D images.  On September 23, 2010, at the SPIE Europe Security & Defense conference in Toulouse, France, we presented new implementations to reduce flicker of the 3D Images constructed by CSpace®™ display.  In November 2010, we published a new method of rendering 3D Images using a rotational-slicing technique at the Journal of the Society for Information Display. In December 2010, we published the utilization of new materials for CSpace®™ image space at the Journal of the Society for Information Display. In April 2011, New Developments That Allow CSpace®™ To Perfectly Fit Applications Such As Air Traffic Control was published in the IEEE/OSA Journal of Display Technology.

 

Regarding our continued efforts to improve the performance of the CSpace technology, we are making better-than-expected progress on our second-generation prototype. Our goals for this new prototype are to first improve image brightness, and then to improve resolution (increase the number of voxels or 3D pixels), and lastly to increase the size of the image. Our technical team has made significant improvements in brightness and resolution since March of 2012. The image generated by the second-generation prototype is approximately fifty times (50x) brighter than our first generation prototype and can now be viewed in normal room lighting. As a result of the increased brightness, resolution has also been improved. The estimated resolution of the second-generation prototype is approximately five times (5x) greater than the first generation prototype. The Company has put in place a new development strategy and, in about three months since its implementation, we have already reached an important goal. Furthermore, in accordance with the development strategy, we plan to further increase resolution, as well as image size, in the coming months.

 

University of Oklahoma - Sponsored Research Agreement

 

On April 20, 2004, we entered into a Sponsored Research Agreement entitled "Investigation of Emerging Digital Holography Technologies" with the University, which expired October 19, 2004. We paid the University $14,116 pursuant to this agreement. The purpose of this agreement was to conduct a pilot study to investigate digital holography as a candidate technology for the development of three-dimensional ("3D") imaging and visualization systems. The purpose of the pilot study was to investigate the current state-of-the-art research and development activities taking place in the field of digital holography, particularly emerging technologies. The scope of work for the study encompassed the following tasks:

 

  Literature review to determine key leading edge research in relevant areas;
  Review of related commercial products to identify technological approaches and potential competitors and/or partners;
  Preliminary patent review; and
  Recommendations for product research and development directions.

On July 15, 2005, we entered into a Sponsored Research Agreement with the University, which expired on January 14, 2007. Under this agreement, the University conducted a research project entitled "Investigation of 3-Dimensional Display Technologies" and the Company agreed to pay the University $453,584 at various dates from November 10, 2005 through July 15, 2006 to cover the costs of the research. The goals for this research were as follows:

 

  Produce patentable and/or copyrightable intellectual property;
  Produce proof-of-concept technology that demonstrates the viability of the intellectual property;
  Assess opportunities for manufacturing technological products in Oklahoma;
  Investigate magnetic nanospheres (“MNs”) for use as a projection media;
  Develop a control platform to actively distribute MNs in an unbounded volumetric space;
  Investigate the doping of MNs with fluorescent materials for light emission at different wavelengths, i.e., develop fluorescent MNs ("FMNs");
  Evaluate other display medium technologies for potential strategic partnerships;
  Evaluate the most appropriate (from a cost-to-benefit standpoint) solid-state light sources for projection applications;
  Develop software for displaying ideal 3D images; and
  Investigate software interface issues with other image capture technologies.

  

The final payment of $226,792, due on July 15, 2006, was not paid. On November 1, 2006 the Sponsored Research Agreement was modified to provide $125,259 additional funding, extend the term of the agreement through March 31, 2007, and revise the payment schedule to combine the July 15, 2006 remaining balance due of $226,792 with the additional funding into a revised payment schedule. Under the terms of the agreement, we agreed to pay the combined remaining obligation of $352,051 in four equal monthly installments of $88,013 beginning on December 31, 2006 through March 31, 2007.

 

On February 23, 2007, we entered into a Sponsored Research Agreement with the University of Oklahoma, which expired on March 31, 2010. Under this agreement, the University conducted a research project entitled "3-Dimensional Display Development". We agreed to pay the University $3,468,595 in monthly installments ranging from $92,263 to $112,777 beginning on April 30, 2007 and ending on March 31, 2010.

 

On October 31, 2008, OU 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 we 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 totaling $861,131. The $1,804,687 balance of the remaining scheduled payment obligation was cancelled by OU. 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, we 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. In the event funding did not provide for any additional payments, the remaining balance would be $290,000, which OU agreed to accept 4,264,707 shares of our 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. We had the option to repurchase the shares at $0.068 per share by September 30, 2009 or at market value, but not less than $0.068 per share, if the repurchase occurred after September 30, 2009.

 

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, OU agreed to modify the repayment plan to retire the remaining arrearages outstanding 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. The first quarterly payment was due to the University on April 30, 2010. These repayment terms were to remain in effect until the outstanding debt was retired.

 

On December 1, 2010, the Company entered into an agreement (the "Agreement") with OU pursuant to which OU agreed to convert all sums due to it from the Company in connection with its SRA with the Company, which as of December 1, 2010 amounted to approximately $485,000, into an aggregate of 59,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock (the "Shares"). As a result of the debt conversion, OU became the holder of approximately 8% of the outstanding common stock of the Company. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Shares are subject to a put option allowing OU to require the Company to purchase certain of the Shares upon the occurrence of certain events. In addition, the Shares are subject to a call option allowing the Company to require OU to sell to the Company the Shares then held by OU in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.

 

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

Overview of Business

 

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

We plan to market the technology and the intellectual property developed by the University and our staff by targeting various industries, such as retail, manufacturing, entertainment, medical, healthcare, transportation, homeland security and the military. On April 6, 2009, we filed a provisional patent on an emissive two-dimensional screen that is controlled and driven by a standard digital light projector or other optical input source. This provisional patent is called "Flexible/Inflexible Front/Back Projection screen or display" and owned solely by 3DIcon Corporation.   Through the current agreement with the University of Oklahoma, OU filed a continuation patent application on November 19, 2010, called “3D Light Surface Display”.  This application provides additional protections of our CSpace®™ technology.

 

Since March of 2012, the Company has been exploring the possibility of developing and marketing glasses-free flat screen 3D displays based on next generation glasses-free flat screen 3D display technology acquired or licensed from another company. This acquired technology and any resultant display products would be in addition to and complementary with our internally developed CSpace glasses-free volumetric 3D display technology.

Reverse Stock Split

 

On April 27, 2012, 3DIcon Corporation, an Oklahoma corporation filed an Amended Certificate of Incorporation to effect a 1-for-35 reverse split of the Company’s common stock. The reverse stock split was announced by Financial Industry Regulatory Authority on April 26, 2012 and became effective on April 27, 2012. As previously reported on the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed on October 20, 2011, this action followed a stockholder vote at the Company’s annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company, which vote authorized the Company’s Board of Directors to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s authorized, issued and outstanding common stock.

 

On April 27, 2012, the effective date, every 35 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock were combined into one share of common stock. The Company did not issue any fractional shares in connection with the reverse stock split. Stockholders of record who otherwise would have been entitled to receive fractional shares will be entitled, upon surrender to our transfer agent of certificates representing such shares, cash in lieu thereof.

 

Throughout this prospectus, each instance which refers to a number of shares of our common stock refers to the number of shares of common stock after giving effect to the Reverse Split, unless otherwise indicated.   References to a number of shares of common stock in our historical financial statements for the three month period ended March 31, 2012 and for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, included in related Forms 10-Q and 10-K, respectively, are reported on a post-Reverse Split basis.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The Securities and Exchange Commission ("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. 

 

Research and Development Costs

 

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

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Revenue Recognition

 

We recognize revenue when services are performed, and at the time of shipment of products, provided that evidence of an arrangement exists, title and risk of loss have passed to the customer, fees are fixed or determinable, and collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying financial statements. Significant estimates made in preparing these financial statements include the estimate of useful lives of property and equipment, the deferred tax valuation allowance, and the fair value of stock options. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument held by the Company:

 

Current assets and current liabilities – The carrying value approximates fair value due to the short maturity of these items.

 

Debentures payable – The fair value of the Company's debentures payable has been estimated by the Company based upon the liability's characteristics, including interest rate. The carrying value approximates fair value.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

Management reviewed accounting pronouncements issued during the three months ended September 30, 2011, and no pronouncements were adopted during the period.

We have earned income of $-0- and $3,000 before commissions and costs from the sales of Pixel Precision™ for the three-months ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011, respectively.

 

We expect sales of Pixel Precision™ to the installed and active user base of the earlier D1100 and D3000 systems in the near term and as companion product sales to D4000 systems. We expect that the revenue from this product to contribute to the operating expenses (general and administrative, research and development, interest) but do not expect the revenue generated in 2012 to cover the operating expenses.

The research and development expenses were $133,481 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to $65,003 for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  The increase was a result of engaging outside research and development consultants.

Our general and administrative expenses were $294,994 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to $296,252 for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  The net decrease is due primarily to a $70,000 increase in consulting fees, $18,840 in options issued to the new CEO and a $52,000 decrease in legal fees incurred during the period, a decrease in accounting and auditing fees of $8,000, a $5,000 decrease in shareholder expense a various other administrative expense aggregating approximately $20,000.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

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

 

  Research and development expenses pursuant to our SRA with the University. This includes development of an initial demonstrable prototype and a second prototype for static volume technology.

. Acceleration of research and development through increased research personnel as well as other research agencies.
  General and administrative expenses: salaries, insurance, investor related expenses, rent, travel, website, etc.
  Hiring executive officers for technology, operations and finance.
  Development, support and operational costs related to Pixel Precision™ software.
  Professional fees for accounting and audit; legal services for securities and financing; patent research and protection.

 

Our independent registered public accountants, in their audit report accompanying our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011, 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 $81,286 at March 31, 2012.

 

We had negative working capital of $740,860 at March 31, 2012.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we used $301,160 of cash for operating activities, an increase of $34,829 or 13% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011. The increase in the use of cash for operating activities was a result of the reduction in accounts payable.

 

There was no cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2012 or for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

 

Cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $364,780, a decrease of $385,220 or 51% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011.  The decrease was the result of warrant exercise advances from Golden State under the terms of our 4.75% convertible debenture.

 

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

 

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

Director or Officer Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

 

Our directors and executive officers were not involved in any legal proceedings as described in Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K in the past ten years.

 

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

 

Although we have not adopted a formal policy on whether the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer positions should be separate or combined, in the past we determined that it was in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to combine these roles. From the inception of the Company through June 13, 2011, Martin Keating served as our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Due to the small size and early stage of the Company, we believe it was most effective to have the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer positions combined. Since June 13, 2011, the role of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Chairman, or any member, of the Board of Directors was separated.

 

Our Board of Directors receives and reviews periodic reports from management, auditors, legal counsel, and others, as considered appropriate regarding our Company's assessment of risks. Our Board of Directors focuses on the most significant risks facing our Company and our Company's general risk management strategy, and also ensure that risks undertaken by us are consistent with the Board's appetite for risk. While the Board oversees our Company's risk management, management is responsible for day-to-day risk management processes. We believe this division of responsibilities is the most effective approach for addressing the risks facing our company and that our board leadership structure and role in risk oversight is effective.

 

Code of Ethics

 

We have not adopted a Code of Ethics and Business Conduct for Officers, Directors and Employees that applies to all of our officers, directors and employees.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

The offering is being conducted on a best efforts basis and unless we engage an underwriter, broker dealer or selling agent, securities in this offering shall be sold by our officers and directors. None of these officers or directors will receive any commission or compensation for the sale of the securities.  The offering will be presented by us primarily through mail, telephone, electronic transmission and direct meetings in those states in which we have registered the securities or exempt from registering the securities. There can be no assurance that all, or any, of the shares and warrants will be sold in the offering.

 

Pursuant to the provisions of Rule 3a4-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, we believe that none of our officers or directors offering the shares and warrants is considered to be a broker of such securities as (i) no such officer or director is subject to any statutory disqualification, (ii) no such officer or director is nor will be compensated by commissions for sales of the securities, (iii) no such officer or director is associated with a broker or dealer, (iv) all such officers or directors perform substantial duties the Company other than in connection with transactions in securities, and (v) no such officer or director participates in offering and selling securities more than once every 12 months other than as permitted under Rule 3a4-1.

 

We have no current arrangements nor have we entered into any agreements with any underwriters, broker-dealers or selling agents for the sale of the securities, but we reserve the right to enter into such arrangements and agreements.  If we engage one or more underwriters, broker-dealers or selling agents and enter into any such arrangement(s), the securities will be sold through such licensed underwriter(s), broker-dealer(s) and/or selling agent(s). See “Plan of Distribution” beginning on page 36 of this prospectus for more information on this offering.   We reserve the right to compensate underwriters, broker-dealers or selling agents that sell securities in this offering with a cash commission of no more than % of the gross proceeds from the securities sold by them.

 

State securities laws require either that a company’s securities be registered for sale or that the securities themselves or the transaction under which they are issued, be exempt from registration. Because our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board and not listed on a national securities exchange, exemptions will generally not be available and this offering must be registered in nearly all states and jurisdictions in which the shares and warrants are to be offered or sold. We will apply to register the shares and warrants, or will seek to obtain an exemption from registration, only in certain states. In the states that require registration, and in which applications are filed, shares and warrants will not be sold to retail customers until such registration is effective. In addition, if we register the shares and warrants in the State of California, sales will only be made to residents of California who have not less than (i) a $60,000 liquid net worth (exclusive of home, home furnishings and automobile) plus $60,000 gross annual income, or (ii) a $225,000 liquid net worth.

 

Institutional investors may purchase shares and warrants in the offering pursuant to exemptions provided for sales to such entities under the laws of various states. The definition of an “institutional investor” varies from state to state, but generally includes financial institutions, broker-dealers, banks, insurance companies and other qualified entities. If you are not an institutional investor, you may purchase shares and warrants in this offering only if you reside in the jurisdictions where there is an effective registration or exemption, and, if required, meet any requisite suitability standards.

 

We have not taken any action to permit a public offering of our securities outside the United States or to permit the possession or distribution of this prospectus outside the United States. Persons outside the United States who come into possession of this prospectus must inform themselves about and observe any restrictions relating to this offering of shares and the distribution of the prospectus outside the United States.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

 

Authorized Capital Stock

 

Our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, authorize the issuance of 1,500,000,000 shares of common stock. On April 27, 2012, a one-for-thirty-five reverse stock split became effective.

 

As of June 29, 2012, we had issued and outstanding:

 

  an aggregate of 39,570,228 of common stock;

 

  0 shares of preferred stock;

 

  an aggregate of 1,954,109 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options outstanding as of June 29, 2012 at a weighted average exercise price of $0.59 per share under our equity incentive plans;

 

  an aggregate of 720,167 shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants with expiration dates between October, 2012 and Jun, 2015 at exercise prices ranging from $3.15 to $381.50 per share; and

 

  an aggregate of 45,061,766 shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of convertible debentures including shares of common stock that may be issuable in the future if we elect to pay all interest due under the terms of the convertible debentures in shares of common stock.

 

Description of Common Stock

 

We are authorized to issue 1,500,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0002 per share after giving effect to the Reverse Split. As of June 29, 2012, we had 39,570,228 shares of common stock outstanding after giving effect to the Reverse Split.

 

Holders of shares of common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders. Shares of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights. Holders of record of shares of common stock are entitled to receive dividends when and if declared by the board of directors. To date, the Company has not paid cash dividends. The Company intends to retain any earnings for the operation and expansion of its business and does not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

Any future determination as to the payment of cash dividends will depend on future earnings, results of operations, capital requirements, financial condition and such other factors as the Board of Directors may consider. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or termination of the Company, holders of shares of common stock are entitled to receive a pro rata distribution of the assets of the Company after liabilities are paid.

 

Holders of common stock do not have pre-emptive rights to subscribe for or to purchase any stock, obligations or other securities of 3DIcon.

 

Warrants

 

In connection with this offering, we will issue warrants to purchase up to           shares of common stock. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $         per share for a period of          years. After the expiration of the exercise period, warrant holders will have no further rights to exercise such warrants.

 

The warrants may be exercised only for full shares of common stock, and may be exercised on a “cashless” basis if the registration statement covering the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is no longer effective and will be issued with restrictive legends unless such shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144. We will not issue fractional shares of common stock or cash in lieu of fractional shares of common stock. Warrant holders do not have any voting or other rights as a stockholder of our company. The exercise price and the number of shares of common stock purchasable upon the exercise of each warrant are subject to adjustment upon the happening of certain events, such as stock dividends, distributions, and splits.

INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

 

Sections 18-1031(A) of the Oklahoma General Corporations Act provide us with the power to indemnify any of our directors and officers. The director or officer must have acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue, or matter as to which the person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for expenses which the court shall deem proper, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful.

 

Under NRS Section 18-1031(E), expenses incurred by an officer or director in defending a civil or criminal action, suit, or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit, or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay the amount if it shall ultimately be determined that the person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation.

 

Our articles of incorporation include an indemnification provision under which we have the power to indemnify our directors, officers, employees and other agents of the Company to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

 

38
 

 

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

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

3DIcon Corporation

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of 3DIcon Corporation (a Development Stage Company) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' deficiency, and cash flows for the years then ended and for the period from inception (January 1, 2001) to December 31, 2011. 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 audit 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of 3DIcon Corporation as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended and for the period from inception (January 1, 2001) to December 31, 2011, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company is a development stage company having insufficient revenues and capital commitments to fund the development of its planned products. This raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plan in regard to these matters is also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010

and Period from Inception (January 1, 2001) to December 31, 2011

 

Note 1 – Organization and Operations

 

Organization

 

3DIcon Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated on August 11, 1995, under the laws of the State of Oklahoma as First Keating Corporation. The articles of incorporation were amended August 1, 2003 to change the name to 3DIcon Corporation. The initial focus of First Keating Corporation was to market and distribute books written by its founder, Martin Keating. During 2001, First Keating Corporation began to focus on the development of 360-degree holographic technology. The effective date of this transition is January 1, 2001, and the financial information presented is from that date through the current period. The Company has accounted for this transition as reorganization and accordingly, restated its capital accounts as of January 1, 2001. From January 1, 2001, the Company's primary activity has been the raising of capital in order to pursue its goal of becoming a significant participant in the development, commercialization and marketing of next generation 3D display technologies.

 

The mission of the company is to develop (or acquire), commercialize, and market next generation 3D display technologies including auto-stereoscopic (glasses-free) volumetric 360-degree full-color 3D displays and possibly auto-stereoscopic (glasses-free) flat screen 3D displays. Our initial market focus is on business, industrial, and government applications of the technologies. At this time the Company owns no intellectual property in 3D displays but does own the exclusive worldwide rights to commercial and government usage of the 3D display intellectual property developed by the University of Oklahoma.

 

Uncertainties

 

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

 

The Company has realized a cumulative net loss of $16,421,120 for the period from inception (January 1, 2001) to December 31, 2011, and a net loss of $2,320,469 and $1,523,737 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, 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 technologies.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Management plans to fund the future operations of the Company with existing cash of $17,666, 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 on December 31, 2014, 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 December 31, 2011 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 year ended December 31, 2012.

 

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 $82,176 of grant funds to be provided through the end of the grant period, February 28, 2012.  (see Note 5 and Note 14)

 

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

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Research and development

 

Research and development costs, including payments made to the University of Oklahoma pursuant to the SRA, are expensed as incurred (see Note 4).

 

Stock-based compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation arrangements for employees in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") No. 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. The Company recognizes expenses for employee services received in exchange for stock based compensation based on the grant-date fair value of the shares awarded. The Company accounts for stock issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of ASC No. 718.

 

Income taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC No. 740, Income Taxes. This standard requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. In addition, this standard requires the recognition of future tax benefits, such as net operating loss carry forwards, to the extent that realization of such benefits is more likely than not. The amount of deferred tax liabilities or assets is calculated using tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rate is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts more likely than not to be realized.

 

Net income (loss) per common share

 

The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC No. 260, Earnings Per Share. Under the provisions of this standard, basic net income (loss) per common share is based on the weighted-average outstanding common shares. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is based on the weighted-average outstanding shares adjusted for the dilutive effect of warrants to purchase common stock and convertible debentures. Due to the Company's losses, such potentially dilutive securities are anti-dilutive for all periods presented. The weighted average number of potentially dilutive shares is 90,616,272 and 98,856,063 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

 

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.

 

Debt issue costs

 

The Company defers and amortizes the legal and filing fees associated with long-term debt that is issued. These costs are primarily related to the convertible debentures, the majority of which have a three-year term. The amortization is charged to operations over the three-year term and then adjusted quarterly for debenture conversions to common stock.

 

Fair value of financial instruments

 

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument held by the Company:

 

Current assets and current liabilities – The carrying value approximates fair value due to the short maturity of these items.

 

Debentures payable – The fair value of the Company's debentures payable has been estimated by the Company based upon the liability's characteristics, including interest rate. The carrying value approximates fair value.

 

Note 3 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

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

 

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-4 is intended to improve the comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and IFRS. The amendments are of two types: (i) those that clarify the Board’s intent about the application of existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements and (ii) those that change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of the provisions of this guidance is not expected to materially impact our financial statements.

Note 4 – Sponsored Research Agreement ("SRA") Common Stock Subject to Put Rights and Call Right

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

OU “Put” Rights on the Shares

 

First “put” period: December 1, 2012 to November 31, 2013. If the Shares (held plus previously sold) are valued at less than $100,000 than OU can “put” one-tenth of the Shares for $50,000 plus accrued interest retro-active to December 1, 2012 less the value of sold shares.

 

Second “put” period: December 1, 2013 to November 31, 2014. If the Shares (held & previously sold) are valued at less than $970,000 than OU can “put” the remaining Shares for $485,000 plus accrued interest retro-active to December 1, 2012 less the value of shares previously sold or redeemed during the first “put”.

 

3DIcon “Call” rights on the Shares

 

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

 

The Company has presented the shares outside of deficit in the mezzanine section of the balance sheets, as the Agreement includes put rights, which are not solely within the control of the Company.

 

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

 

Note 5 – 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 Company 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.  The award is for a maximum of $149,940 for 2009 and the remainder for 2011.  The Company earned $86,323 and $96,361 from the grant during the twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively and $217,824 from inception to date.  The Company received approval for our no cost extension request for the second year of the contract and, with the new modification, the second year ends on February 28, 2012.

 

During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company charged operations $37,363 and $43,884, respectively, pursuant to the direct costs incurred and for the use of the OU lab facilities in regard to the OCAST grant. At December 31, 2011, the Company owed the University $7,686 in direct costs.

Securities Purchase Agreement

 

6.25% Convertible Debenture due December 31, 2014

 

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, 2007 and $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, 2011, 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 2010, $274,438 of the Debenture was converted into 93,196,578 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $0.0027 to $0.004 based on the formula in the convertible debenture. Additionally shares totaling 6,093,396 were issued in payment of $17,062 of accrued interest during 2010. At various dates during 2011, $157,331 of the Debenture was converted into 16,156,404 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $0.0059 to $0.0174 based on the formula in the convertible debenture. Additionally $12,669 was added to the principle balance of the debenture in payment of accrued interest during 2011.

 

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 December 31, 2011. 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 14 -Subsequent Events) 

 

F-10
 

 

4.75% Convertible Debenture due December 31, 2014

 

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 2010, Golden State converted $4,752 of the $100,000 debenture into 162,454,399 shares of common stock, exercised warrants to purchase 47,523 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 December 31, 2010. During 2011, Golden State converted $6,760 of the $100,000 debenture into 60,601,868, shares of common stock, exercised warrants to purchase 67,600 shares of common stock at $10.90 per share based on the formula in the convertible debenture. Additionally Golden Gate advanced $753,381 against future exercises of warrants of which $736,840 was applied to the exercise of warrants leaving $16,542 of unapplied advances at December 31, 2011.

 

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.

 

13% Convertible Debentures due 2011

 

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 interest rate on the debenture increased to 13% during 2009 due to the Company not making payments when due.

 

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 March 1, 2010, Newton, O'Connor, Turner & Ketchum agreed to extend the September 30, 2009 due date of their 13% debenture to March 31, 2010, in consideration for one million (1,000,000) 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 $4,140.

 

On June 1, 2010, Newton, O'Connor, Turner & Ketchum agreed to extend the March 31, 2010 due date of their 13% debenture to September 30, 2010 in consideration for one million five hundred thousand (1,500,000) shares of common stock and a reduction in the exercise price of the warrants. The revised price at which the warrant may be exercised shall be $0.045 per share for exercises made during the period between the date of grant and the second anniversary of the revised maturity date, and $0.09 per share for exercises made during the forty-eight month period between the second anniversary of the revised maturity date and the sixth anniversary of the maturity date.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1 – Uncertainties and Use of Estimates

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying financial statements of 3DIcon Corporation (the “Company”) have been prepared without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's year-end audited financial statements and related footnotes included in the previously filed 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2012, and the statements of its operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, and the period from inception (January 1, 2001) to March 31, 2012, and cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, and the period from inception (January 1, 2001) to March 31, 2012, 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”) 985-605, “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.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Based on management's assessment no new accounting standards, if adopted, would have a material impact on the accompanying financial statements.

 

Uncertainties

 

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

 

The Company has realized a cumulative net loss of $16,798,827 for the period from inception (January 1, 2001) to March 31, 2012, and a net loss of $377,707 and $356,608 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, 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.

 

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, as further described in Note 4, 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 December 2014, 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.  The number of warrants exercisable is subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations contained in the 4.75% Convertible Debenture (“the Beneficial Ownership Limitations”).  The Beneficial Ownership Limitations prevent Golden State from converting on the 4.75% Convertible Debenture or exercising warrants if such conversion or exercise would cause Golden State’s holdings to exceed 9.99% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock.  Subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitations, 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 March 31, 2012 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 year ended December 31, 2012. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company received $364,780 in funding under the terms of the 4.75% Convertible Debenture (see Note 4). 

 

F-21
 

 

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 $51,836 of grant funds to be provided through the end of the grant period, August 31, 2012.  (see Note 3)

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

OU “Put” Rights on the Shares

 

First “put” period: December 1, 2012 to November 31, 2013. If the Shares (held plus previously sold) are valued at less than $100,000 then OU can “put” one-tenth of the Shares for $50,000 plus accrued interest retroactive to December 1, 2012 less the value of sold shares.

 

Second “put” period: December 1, 2013 to November 31, 2014. If the Shares (held & previously sold) are valued at less than $970,000 then OU can “put” the remaining Shares for $485,000 plus accrued interest retroactive to December 1, 2012 less the value of shares previously sold or redeemed during the first “put”.

 

3DIcon “Call” Rights on the Shares

6.25% Convertible Debenture due December 31, 2014

 

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, 2007 and $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, 2011, 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 2010, $274,438 of the Debenture was converted into 93,196,578 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $0.0027 to $0.004 based on the formula in the convertible debenture. Additionally shares totaling 6,093,396 were issued in payment of $17,062 of accrued interest during 2010. At various dates during 2011, $157,331 of the Debenture was converted into 16,156,404 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $0.0059 to $0.0174 based on the formula in the convertible debenture. Additionally $12,669 was added to the principle balance of the debenture in payment of accrued interest during 2011.

 

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 March 31, 2012. 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 9 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 2010, Golden State converted $4,752 of the $100,000 debenture into 162,454,399 shares of common stock, exercised warrants to purchase 47,523 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 December 31, 2010. During 2011, Golden State converted $6,760 of the $100,000 debenture into 60,601,868, shares of common stock, exercised warrants to purchase 67,600 shares of common stock at $10.90 per share based on the formula in the convertible debenture. Additionally Golden Gate advanced $753,381 against future exercises of warrants of which $736,840 was applied to the exercise of warrants leaving $16,542 of unapplied advances at December 31, 2011. During 2012, Golden State converted $1,663 of the $100,000 debenture into 25,049,954 shares of common stock, exercised warrants to purchase 16,635 shares of common stock at $10.90 per share based on the formula in the convertible debenture. Additionally Golden Gate advanced $364,781 against future exercises of warrants of which $181,322 was applied to the exercise of warrants leaving $200,001 of unapplied advances at March 31, 2012.

 

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.

On March 13, 2012, 3DIcon Corporation entered into a one (1) year Agreement for At-Will Employment with Assignment of Inventions (“Employment Agreement”) with Mark Willner, pursuant to which Mr. Willner began serving as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately. Under the terms of the Employment Agreement, Mr. Willner is entitled to an annual base salary of $180,000, and, at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors, performance-based bonuses and/or salary increases. Pursuant to the Employment Agreement, the Company granted Mr. Willner five-year stock options to purchase two (2) million shares at a price equal to the average price of the five day period prior to March 19, 2012 (the “Strike Price”) which was $0.01. Furthermore, if Mr. Willner remains employed by the Company at the end of each quarter ending June 30, 2012, September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2012, he will receive additional stock options to purchase one (1) million shares at the $0.01 Strike Price. In addition, if the Company has achieved certain quarterly business objectives, Mr. Willner will receive, at the end of each such quarterly periods, a further grant of stock options to purchase one (1) million shares at the Strike Price. The estimated fair value of the two million options of $18,840, was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and was charged to operations in March 2012. The expected dividend yield of $-0- is based on the average annual dividend yield as of the grant date. Expected volatility of 163% 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 1.87% 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.

 

The Employment Agreement may be terminated with or without reason by either the Company or Mr. Willner and at any time, upon sixty (60) days written notice. The terms of the Employment Agreement will remain effective for one (1) year and will automatically renew, subject to the same termination rights. Upon termination, the Company will pay any base pay, bonus and benefits that have been earned and are due as of the date of the termination.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.

 

(a)           The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to:

 

(1) File, during any period in which it offers or sells securities, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement to:

 

(i) Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

 

(ii) Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective Registration Statement.

 

(iii) Include any additional or changed material information on the plan of distribution.

  

(2)         For determining liability under the Securities Act, treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering.

 

(3)         File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.

 

(b)             Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to 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)           Each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(Sec.230.424(b) of this chapter) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A (Sec.230.430A of this chapter), shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

 

(d)          For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, 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) or under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

 

(e)           For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, 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.
