PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS SUBJECT TO COMPLETION DATED  OCTOBER 2, 2012

 

 

3,000 __% Series A Convertible Preferred Shares

(and _____ Common Stock underlying the __% Series A Convertible Preferred Shares)

_____ Series A Warrants

_____ Series B Warrants

(and _____ Common Stock underlying the Warrants)

4,750,000 Shares of Common Stock

 

We are offering up to 3,000 __% Series A convertible preferred shares (the “Series A preferred shares”) and warrants to purchase up to _____ common stock to purchasers in this offering. We are also offering up to _____ of our common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A preferred shares and _____ of our common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants. The Series A preferred shares and warrants will be sold in units for a purchase price equal to $1,000 per unit. Each unit will consist of (1) one Series A preferred share which is convertible into ___ of our common stock at a conversion price of $_.__ per share of common stock, (2) one Class A Warrant to purchase 0.5 of our common stock for every share of common stock underlying the preferred share included in such unit, exercisable at any time after the closing date at an exercise price of $_.__ per share of common stock and (3) one Class B Warrant to purchase 0.5 of our common stock for every share of common stock underlying the preferred share included in such unit, exercisable at any time after the closing date at an exercise price of $_.__ per share of common stock.

 

Until _______ __, 2015, the Series A preferred shares will have a stated dividend rate of __% per annum, payable quarterly in cash or, at our election and subject to certain conditions described in this prospectus, in our common stock, which are also being offered by this prospectus.  Thereafter, each holder of Series A preferred shares will be entitled to receive dividends equal, on an as-if-converted to common stock basis, to and in the same form as dividends actually paid on common stock when, as, and if such dividends are paid on common stock. The Company has never paid dividends on its common stock and does not intend to do so for the foreseeable future. The conversion of the Series A preferred shares and the exercise of the warrants are subject to certain ownership limitations described in this prospectus.  If certain conditions described in the prospectus are met, we may, at our option, redeem the Series A preferred shares for cash or require the holders to convert the Series A preferred shares into common stock.  For a more detailed description of the Series A preferred shares, the warrants, and our common stock, see the section entitled “Description of Securities” beginning on page 29 of this prospectus.

 

This prospectus also relates to the resale of up to 4,750,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0002 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company by the Selling Stockholders.  The total amount of shares consists of 4,750,000 shares of Common Stock underlying convertible promissory notes.  We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of Common Stock by the selling stockholder.   The Selling Stockholder may sell common stock from time to time in the principal market on which the stock is traded at the prevailing market price or in negotiated transactions.

 

Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “TDCP.OB”. On October 2, 2012, the last reported sale price for our common stock was $0.__ per share.  There is no established public trading market for the Series A preferred shares or the warrants being sold in this offering and we do not expect such a market to develop.

 

We have retained Moody Capital Solutions, Inc. (the “Placement Agent”) to act as our exclusive Placement Agent in connection with this offering until the expiration date of the offering, a date not to exceed 60 days from the date of this prospectus. We intend to enter into a Placement Agency Agreement with the Placement Agent, relating to the units offered by this prospectus.  The Placement Agent is not purchasing or selling any of our units pursuant to this prospectus but will use its best efforts to sell the maximum number of units being offered, however we are requiring that the Placement Agent place a minimum purchase of $500,000 worth of units to consummate this offering and in such capacity is deemed an “underwriter” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act.  Therefore, we will enter into a purchase agreement directly with investors in connection with this offering and, upon entering into purchase agreements to sell a minimum of $500,000 worth of units, confirmations and definitive prospectuses will be delivered, or otherwise made available, to all purchasers who agree to purchase units, informing the purchasers of the closing date as to such units.  We intend to hold all monies collected pursuant to purchase agreements in an escrowed bank account until the total amount of $500,000 has been received or until the expiration date of the offering.  We have agreed to pay the Placement Agent a placement agent fee equal to 9% of the aggregate gross proceeds to us from the sale of the units.  See “Plan of Distribution” beginning on page 61 of this prospectus for more information regarding this arrangement.

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

 

3DIcon is a public company that is further developing a patented volumetric (full 360° view as illustrated in Figure 1 below) 3D display technology that was developed by and with the University of Oklahoma (the “University” or “OU”) under a Sponsored Research Agreement. The development to date has resulted in multiple new technologies, a working laboratory prototype (Lab Proto 1), and seven provisional patents; six of the seven provisional patents have been combined and converted to four utility patents. Under the Sponsored Research Agreement, the Company has obtained the exclusive worldwide marketing rights to these 3D display technologies.

 

 

Figure 1 - Lab Proto 1 Image

 

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.  On August 21, 2012, the USPTO approved a continuation patent called “3D Volumetric Display” and issued the US Patent No. 8,247,755. These patents describe what we are calling our CSpace®™ technology (“CSpace”).

Our Growth Strategy

 

Volumetric 3D Strategy

 

The Company plans to commercialize the CSpace volumetric 3D technology through customer funded research and development contracts and technology licensing agreements with companies like Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Siemens, and General Electric for high value applications like air traffic control, design visualization, and medical imaging.  Although we do not have any definitive agreement in place that provides for such funding or licensing arrangements, we believe such companies would be interested in entering into such arrangements based on past and existing discussions our management has had with such companies. For example, Boeing provided letters of support for certain government grants that we have applied for, with the proviso in the letters that if the grant were to be awarded they would have an interest in working with us on the specific project. Representatives of Boeing have visited our facilities in Tulsa and viewed our original lab prototype and have indicated an interest in having our next level of prototype presented to their management group in St. Louis. We have no formal agreements or commitments from Boeing beyond these ongoing discussions. Lockheed Martin has inquired about our technology through the University of Oklahoma, however, we have no ongoing discussions taking place with the company. Mr. Aroesty, a director on our Board of Directors, sold a company to Siemens and believes we could use his contacts at Siemens to market our technologies. Furthermore, we have had general discussions with a number of similar companies, such as Honeywell, General Electric, ShuffleMaster, regarding our CSpace technology. It is our plan to hire a dedicated business development person with existing relationships and credibility with these and other similar companies and to leverage our management’s industry contacts to market our technologies to these companies. The above commercialization plan depends on our ability to convince potential customers that products based on our technology will meet their requirements and that the technical risk in developing products based on our technology will be acceptable to these potential customers. We are targeting high value applications that typically require products to be customized to the customer’s application.  Since we understand the capabilities and limitations of CSpace better than potential customers, it is not unusual for this type of customer to ask the technology developer (in this case 3DIcon) to do most or part of the product development for or with the customer in exchange for funding by the customer.  In 2013, we plan to solicit companies to enter into customer funded development contracts to develop our technology for or with those companies.  Our goal is to generate sufficient funding from such arrangements that would meet or exceed the incremental costs of developing product prototypes for or with customers.  If we are successful in completing the initial product prototypes, we anticipate generating licensing revenues from our CSpace technology begin in mid-2014. The Company believes that it has an experienced display industry and public company management team with a proven track record of successfully commercializing multiple display technologies to move our CSpace technology strategy forward.

 

 

Figure 2 - CSpace Architecture

 

In March of 2012 the Company implemented a new evolutionary, step-by-step commercialization strategy for the CSpace volumetric display technology.  Under this strategy we are developing multiple staged prototypes (laboratory and trade show) with successively higher performance (brightness, resolution, and image size).  Since then, we have made better than expected progress on the second laboratory prototype, which we call Lab Proto 2.  Working off the CSpace architecture illustrated in Figure 2 above, Dr. Refai and Dr. Melnik have already increased brightness by 50 times (50x) that of Lab Proto 1 so that the images displayed by Lab Proto 2 can be easily seen in typical office lighting.  Our technical team has also increased resolution by approximately five times (5x) that of Lab Proto 1.

 

 

Figure 3 - CSpace Timeline

 

Although Lab Proto 2 is a working prototype with significant improvements over Lab Proto 1, our technical team is also in the process of increasing the image size of Lab Proto 2 by a factor of eight (8x) and we hope to achieve such image sizes by October of 2012.  In parallel, the technical team is redesigning the scanning subsystem that creates the Z-axis “slices” (or depth) and that redesign is expected to improve brightness by another factor of ten (10x).  Taken together with the 50 times higher brightness already achieved, we expect, that once completed, Lab Proto 2 will be at least 500 times (500x) brighter than Lab Proto 1.  Because of th e larger image size and the much higher brightness we expect to see much higher resolution as well.

 

6
 

 

Once Lab Proto 2 is complete, the Company plans to develop a third generation laboratory prototype, Lab Proto 3.  The goals for Lab Proto 3 are to develop a lower cost and more scalable image chamber material (plastic or glass plus phosphor) and to use that new material to construct an even larger image chamber than we are building for Lab Proto 2.   As illustrated in the CSpace Timeline (Figure 3 above), the Company plans to complete Lab Proto 3 by March of 2013 and believes that Lab Proto 3 should be the last laboratory prototype we will need to build.

 

We believe that Lab Proto 3 will enable the Company to credibly engage with potential customers and secure customer funded development contracts to develop even larger and higher resolution product prototypes.  If we are successful in securing customer funded development contracts, we anticipate the development of various product prototypes, the first of which we have been calling the Trade Show Prototype.  It is likely that in exchange for funding of the Trade Show Prototype, our initial customer will require an exclusive license to the technology in a particular field of use (e.g. civilian air traffic control). The Company believes that any such exclusive license will be based on a set period of time during product and/or market development and based on performance thereafter. Failure by the customer to meet agreed upon performance criteria would most likely result in the license becoming non-exclusive. Any such exclusive license agreement would preclude the Company from working with other customers in that field of use during the period of the exclusive license. The Company does not believe that this strategy for funding the Tradeshow Prototype will significantly impact the revenue potential of the technology given the number of potential applications (fields of use). If successfully developed, the Trade Show Prototype, which is illustrated as an artist concept in Figure 4 below, will be fully packaged and portable so that it can be used for trade shows and on-site customer demonstrations.  We believe that the Trade Show prototype will enable the Company to market and secure licensing agreements with large government contract ors and large medical or industrial products companies. The Company plans to hire a full time business development person with existing management relationships with potential CSpace customers in order to secure these customer funded development contracts and technology license agreements.

Flat Screen 3D Strategy

 

In order to generate revenue sooner than the CSpace technology will allow, the Company plans to use stock to purchase small private companies that will provide it with significant advantages and immediate revenue in the $15B digital signage market.

 

 

Since March of 2012, the Company has been evaluating a number of second-generation glasses-free flat screen 3D display technologies and the companies that are developing these technologies.  Our goal was to identify a new technology that could deliver significantly better performance (3D impact and image quality) than current large area multiple-viewer glasses-free 3D flat screen displays without compromising resolution and brightness, as do current displays.  The ideal company would also have a great technical team, a broad patent portfolio, and a credible technology roadmap to ensure that these competitive advantages are sustainable into the future.

 

7
 

 

As a result of the above evaluation process, the Company has recently signed a non-binding Letter of Intent to acquire Dimension Technologies, Inc. (DTI) www.dti3d.com located in Rochester, NY.  Based on our analysis to date, DTI appears to meet all of our requirements and in addition appears to be reasonably self-sufficient since its founding primarily due to its continued success at securing government funded research grants.  The DTI management team also recognizes the value of the display industry veterans that make up the core of the 3DIcon management team.  Please keep in mind that while the Letter of Intent does detail some terms of the acquisition, it is subject to the completion of an audit of DTI’s financial statements and confirmatory due diligence by both parties and therefore is not legally binding.  Over the next 60-90 days it is our intent to complete that due diligence and once completed to our satisfaction, we intend to consummate the acquisition as soon as possible.

 

The DTI acquisition or another similar acquisition, if completed, will be the cornerstone of our flat screen 3D display business just like CSpace is the cornerstone of our volumetric 3D display business.  Given how far along DTI is in developing products, we estimate that initial products based on their technology can be delivered to market in approximately 12 months.  If the acquisition is completed, we intend to make and sell products based on the DTI technology for commercial and industrial markets (e.g. digital signage) and license the DTI technology to large Asian display companies for use in consumer products like televisions, desktop monitors, laptop computers, tablets, and smart phones.

 

In addition to the above flat screen 3D display company acquisition, the Company has begun initial discussions with candidates for a complimentary acquisition: a digital signage content company.  This acquisition will provide immediate revenue and complement / drive demand for and showcase the capabilities of the flat screen 3D displays that could be developed if we acquire DTI. Based on primary market research conducted by the Company, the lack of high quality content (in particular advertising) is currently and has been the top adoption barrier for companies considering the deployment of digital signage. This is particularly true for 3D digital signage content where there are very few digital signage focused content companies (creative firms) that have experience in creating high quality 3D content. It is our intent to acquire one of the top private 2D digital signage content companies and then to develop 3D content creation capabilities within that company. We believe that high quality 3D content tailored to the 3D displays of DTI will drive demand for these displays and at the same time provide the Company with an annuity revenue stream tied to the 3D displays.

 

 

Currently, we do not have any agreements in place that would allow entry into the flat screen segment of the glasses-free 3D display industry or digital signage industry and no assurances can be made that such an agreement will ever be consummated.  However, even if any acquisitions or partnerships are consummated, no assurances can be made that the Company could successfully bring to market such technologies.

5% Convertible Promissory Note

 

On June 6, 2012 (the “Effective Date”), the Company issued and sold a convertible promissory note (the "Note") in the principal amount of $275,000 to JMJ Financial (“JMJ”). The Note includes a $25,000 original issue discount (the “OID”) that will be prorated based on the advances actually paid to the Company. JMJ advanced $50,000 upon execution of the Note and collected $4,000 OID. Subsequently, JMJ advanced $25,000 and collected $2,000 OID on the Note.  Pursuant to the terms of the Note, JMJ may, at its election, convert all or a part of the Note into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion rate equal to the lesser of (i) $0.35 or (ii) 70% of the lowest trade price during the twenty-five trading days prior to JMJ’s election to convert. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Note, the Company agreed to include on the next registration statement filed by the Company with the SEC all shares issuable upon conversion of the Note. Failure to do so will result in liquidated damages of 25% of the outstanding principal balance of the Note. If the Company repays the Note on or before ninety days from the Effective Date, the interest rate will be zero percent. If the company does not repay the Note on or before ninety days from the Effective Date, a one-time interest charge of 5% shall be applied to the principal sum of $275,000. The principal of the Note is due one year from the date of each of the principal amounts advanced.

 

5% Convertible Promissory Note #2

 

On August 1, 2012 (the “Note #2 Effective Date”), the Company issued and sold a convertible promissory note #2 (the “Note #2") in the principal amount of $140,000 to JMJ. The Note #2 includes a $15,000 original issue discount (the “OID”) that will be prorated based on the advances actually paid to the Company. JMJ advanced $100,000 upon execution of the Note and collected $8,000 OID. Pursuant to the terms of the Note #2, JMJ may, at its election, convert all or a part of the Note #2 into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion rate equal to the lesser of (i) $0.15 or (ii) 70% of the lowest trade price during the twenty-five trading days prior to JMJ’s election to convert. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Note #2, the Company agreed to include on the next registration statement filed by the Company with the SEC all shares issuable upon conversion of the Note #2. Failure to do so will result in liquidated damages of 25% of the outstanding principal balance of the Note #2. If the Company repays the Note #2 on or before ninety days from the Note #2 Effective Date, the interest rate will be zero percent. If the company does not repay the Note #2 on or before ninety days from the Note #2 Effective Date, a one-time interest charge of 5% shall be applied to the principal sum of $140,000. The principal of the Note #2 is due one year from the date of each of the principal amounts advanced.

 

The Note and the Note #2 is subject to a Mandatory Registration Agreement (the “Registration Agreement”) whereby no later than August 31, 2012, the Company agreed to file, at its own expense, an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the S-1 Registration Statement (the “Registration Statement”) the Company filed with the SEC on July 3, 2012, to include in such Amendment 4,750,000 shares of common stock issuable under the Notes and the Note #2. The Company agreed, thereafter, to use its best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective as soon as possible after such filing but in no event later than one hundred and twenty (120) days from the date of the Registration Agreement. Failure to file the Amendment by August 31, 2012 will result in a penalty/liquidated damages of $10,000. In addition, failure to have the Registration Statement declared effective within 120 days of the date of the Registration Agreement will result in a penalty/liquidated damages of $25,000. Any such penalties/liquidated damages will be added to the balance of either the Note or the Note #2 at the Holder’s discretion.

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 $17,266,743 for the period from inception (January 1, 2001) to June 30, 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.

 

We may not be able to achieve the target specifications for the second and third generation CSpace laboratory prototypes.

 

The process of developing new highly technical products and solutions is inherently complex and uncertain. It requires accurate anticipation of customer's changing needs and emerging technological trends. We must make long-term investments and commit significant resources before knowing whether these investments will eventually result in products that achieve customer acceptance and generate the revenues required to provide desired returns. If we fail to achieve and meet our target specifications in the development of the second and third generation CSpace laboratory prototypes, we could lose market position and customers to our competitors and that could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

 

We may not be able to secure the customer funding necessary to develop the CSpace Trade Show Prototype.

 

Although Lab Proto 2 is a working prototype that we expect to complete in or around October 2012, it is not ready for presentation at a trade show.  An important part of our business strategy moving forward is the development of our Lab Proto 3.  While we believe this prototype will enable us to secure customer funded development contracts whereby our customer would provide part or all of the funding necessary to develop products for or with the customer and to secure technology licensing agreements, there can be no assurances that this will occur.  If we are unable to secure customer funded development contracts and technology licensing agreements we will likely not be able to develop our CSpace Trade Show Prototype.  Without the CSpace Trade Show Prototype we will not be able to successfully implement our business strategy for our Volumetric 3D Display products, which could cause harm to our competitive position and financial condition.

 

We may not be able to successfully license the CSpace technology to customers.

 

A significant portion of our expected future revenues will be generated through licensing our Cspace technology to third parties such as Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Siemens, and General Electric.  However, there is no guarantee we will be able to successfully license our Cspace technology to such companies or to other third parties.  If we fail to successfully license our CSpace technology it could negatively impact our revenue stream and financial condition.  

 

We may not be able to acquire a digital signage content company required for credible entry into the digital signage industry.

 

The Company intends to acquire a digital content signage company in order to generate immediate revenue and increase demand for 3D display technology.  There can be no guarantee that the Company will be able to successfully acquire one or both of the targeted digital signage content companies with which we have engaged acquisition discussions.  If the Company were to fail to acquire one or both of its target acquisitions it would negatively impact the Company’s chances of entering the digital content signage industry and decrease short-term revenue potential.  

 

14
 

 

We may not be able to acquire DTI, which is required for entry into the glasses-free flat screen 3D display industry and to provide a sustainable advantage in the digital signage market.

 

Even though the Company has entered into a Letter of Intent to acquire DTI, which details the material terms of a potential acquisition by the Company of DTI, it is not legally binding and does not consummate the acquisition.  The Company’s acquisition of DTI remains contingent upon completion of confirmatory due diligence on behalf of both parties as well as official execution of an acquisition agreement.  There can be no guarantee that such an acquisition agreement will be executed.  If the Company fails to acquire DTI or a similarly advantaged flat screen 3D display technology company or fails to secure an exclusive license to glasses-free flat screen 3D display technology it will likely prohibit our entry into the glasses-free flat screen 3D display industry.  In addition, if the Company is unsuccessful in acquiring DTI, a similarly advantaged company or an exclusive license to such technology, the Company’s long term goal to enter and maintain a significant and sustainable advantage in the digital signage market could be compromised because, if the Company successfully acquires a digital signage company or assets, without the glasses-free flat screen 3D display technology, the digital signage content alone will not have long term sustainability.

 

We may not be able to secure a private label distribution agreement with the target 1st generation glasses-free flat screen 3D display company at all or under terms that we would find acceptable.

 

If the Company is successful in acquiring a target company with 1st generation glasses-free flat screen 3D display technology, it plans to enter into a private label (3DIcon brand) distribution agreement in order to resell such 1st generation glasses-free 3D display technology under the 3DIcon brand and immediately generate revenues for the Company.  However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to secure such private label distribution agreements with favorable terms or terms which the Company finds acceptable.  Without such agreements the Company will not be able to secure a revenue stream from the resale of 1st generation glasses-free flat screen 3D display technology.

 

Furthermore, in order for the Company to successfully secure and perform under such distribution agreements, it anticipates approximate expenditures equal to $350,000 in capital in order to market and sell such merchandise.  Should the Company fail to sell all or part of its inventory of 1st generation glasses-free flat screen 3D display technology, this initial investment could be lost.  

 

We may not be able to develop a 2nd generation glasses-free flat screen 3D display based on the DTI technology within one year.

 

The Company plans to develop and sell 2nd generation glasses-free flat screen 3D display products based upon its potential acquisition of DTI within 12 months, however, there can be no assurances that either DTI or the Company will be able to develop the technology necessary to market these products within the estimate 12 month time frame.  If we are unable to develop and market these products in the next 12 months we will generate less short term revenue which will negatively impact implementation of our business plans.  Furthermore, in the long run the market conditions and technological trends may make such technology unneeded or unwanted and no assurances can be made that the Company will ever generate revenues from a 2nd generation glasses-free flat screen 3D display product.

 

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.

 

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.

 

15
 

 

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 $2.1 million additional funds through December 2013 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.

 

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.

 

16
 

 

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.

 

At this time, we do not own any intellectual property in Volumetric Liquid Crystal Display or Light Surface Display for Rendering Three-Dimensional Images, and, apart from the Sponsored Research Agreement with the University and the exclusive worldwide marketing rights thereto, we have no contracts or agreements pending to acquire the intellectual property.

 

Although we have obtained exclusive worldwide marketing rights to “Volumetric Liquid Crystal Display” and “Light Surface Display for Rendering Three-Dimensional Images”, two technologies vital to our business and growth strategy, we do not own any intellectual property in these technologies.  Although our exclusive worldwide marketing rights to these technologies stand alone and are independent of the Sponsored Research Agreement, outside of our Sponsored Research Agreement with the University, we have no pending agreements to obtain or purchase ownership over such intellectual property.  Should the University lose their rights in such technologies or we are otherwise unable to utilize the rights obtained in such agreements it would be difficult to successfully implement our business strategy going forward and our stock value would likely decrease.

 

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 October 2, 2012, we had 43,451,684 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and convertible debentures outstanding that may be converted into an estimated 97,155,732 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.

 

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 $75,184 and market prices 25%, 50% and 75% below the market price as of September 28, 2012 of $0.10.

(1) Shares issuable exclude 22,543 shares underlying the remaining warrants exercisable at $381.50 per share.

 

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

 

18
 

 

·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.

 

19
 

 

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

 

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.

 

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 stock 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 stock 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.

 

20
 

 

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 not have immediate and broad discretion over the use of the net proceeds from this offering, however, once the minimum offering amount is sold we may use the net proceeds in ways with which you disagree.

 

There is a minimum offering amount required as a condition to closing this offering and therefore net proceeds from this offering will not be immediately available to our management to use at their discretion. However, once the minimum offering amount is sold, we will have immediate and broad discretion over the net proceeds from this offering.  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 of up to         shares underlying Series A Preferred Stock offered in this offering at an assumed public offering price of $         per share, and after deducting placement agent fees 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.

 

Moreover, included in this offering are 4,750,000 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of notes purchased by the Selling Stockholders. If the Selling Stockholders were to convert these notes into the shares of the Company’s stock and sell all or part of their shares pursuant to this offering, new investors would experience additional immediate dilution as a result thereof. Such dilution may make the purchasing of units in this offering less desirable to potential investors and negatively impact our ability to sell units pursuant to this offering.

 

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 public offering, with a $500,000 minimum, we may not receive any proceeds.

 

This is a public offering by the Company with $500,000 minimum and $3,000,000 maximum. Because there is a $500,000 minimum, we will retain the proceeds from the sale of the units offered only if we sell at least $500,000 worth of units, otherwise funds will be returned to investors. As a result, we may not receive any proceeds from the offering but will be obligated to pay certain costs of the offering. Even if proceeds are received, it is possible that such proceeds may be significantly reduced by the costs of the offering.

 

22
 

 

Use of Proceeds

 

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. In addition the following uses of proceeds describe how our growth strategy would be impacted in the event we sell 100%, 75%, 50%, and 25% of the securities offered in this offering.

 

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 the sale of 100% (or $3,000,000) of the securities in this offering will be approximately $ ________, after deducting placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses. Assuming the Sale of 100% of the securities in this offering we expect to develop our growth strategy as described and within the approximated timeframes set forth in the “Business” section. However, we expect to accelerate our growth strategy by using the proceeds to (i) hire personnel dedicated to the CSpace business development sooner thereby increasing our chances of securing a customer funded development arrangement and in turn speeding up our process of developing the Trade Show Prototype; and (ii) assuming we are successful in acquiring DTI or a similar company, hire personnel dedicated to sales and support of flat panel displays sooner thereby increasing revenues to the Company and decreasing the risk associated with a slower growth potential without the use of flat panel display revenues.

 

We estimate that the aggregate net proceeds to us assuming the sale of 75% (or $2,250,000) of the securities in this offering will be approximately $_______, after deducting placement agent fees and approximately $________ of estimated offering expenses that will be payable by us from the proceeds of this offering. Assuming the Sale of 75% of the securities in this offering we expect to use the proceeds to develop our growth strategy as described in the “Business” section.

 

We estimate that the aggregate net proceeds to us assuming the sale of 50% (or $1,500,000) of the securities in this offering will be approximately $__________, after deducting placement agent fees and approximately $_________ of estimated offering expenses that will be payable by us from the proceeds of this offering. Assuming the Sale of 50% of the securities in this offering we can expect a gross shortfall in the operating plan of approximately $675,000. As a result, the Company would not be able to implement its flat panel display strategy that includes (i) the acquisition of a 2nd generation glasses-free flat panel 3D display technology company to provide a sustainable competitive advantage; (ii) the acquisition of a digital signage content company to drive demand for flat panel 3D displays and provide near term revenues; and (iii) the partnering with a 1st generation glasses-free flat screen 3D display company to resell their products providing near term revenues. Furthermore the Company would not be able to hire dedicated CSpace business development personnel, which role would need to be assumed by our CEO who is an experienced business development professional. No further financing would be needed to develop the remainder of the Company’s growth strategy.

 

We estimate that the aggregate net proceeds to us assuming the sale of 25% (or $750,000) of the securities in this offering will be approximately $________, after deducting placement agent fees and approximately $___________ of estimated offering expenses that will be payable by us from the proceeds of this offering. Assuming the Sale of 25% of the securities in this offering we can expect a gross shortfall of approximately $1.35M. As described under the assumptions of the sale of only 50% of the securities in this offering above, the Company would not be able to implement its flat panel display strategy or hire dedicated CSpace business development personnel. Accordingly, the Company would need to raise approximately $500,000 in a subsequent financing to develop the remainder of the Company’s growth strategy.

 

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.

 

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.

 

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares by the selling stockholders.

 

Determination of Offering Price

 

Some of the factors considered in determining the offering price of the units were the history and prospects of our Company and comparable companies, similar prior offerings of comparable companies, our management, our capital structure, and currently prevailing general conditions in equity securities markets, including current market valuations of publicly traded companies considered comparable to our company.  We cannot assure you, however, that the price at which the units, Series A preferred shares, common stock or warrants will sell in the public market after this offering will not be lower than the current offering price or that an active trading market in our units, Series A preferred shares, common stock or warrants will develop and continue after this offering. The conversion price of the Series A preferred shares and the exercise prices for the warrants were determined by analyzing market conditions, such as stock value and our financial condition and will be determined by our Board of Directors after consulting with our Placement Agent for this offering.

Dilution

 

Dilution under assumption of sale of 100% of the units offered in this offering.

 

Our net tangible book value as of December 31, 2011 was $(1,246,529) or $(0.04) per share of common stock. Net tangible book value per share represents total tangible assets less total liabilities, divided by the number of common stock outstanding. After giving effect to the sale of 3,000 Series A preferred shares in this offering and assuming the conversion of all the Series A preferred shares sold in the offering (and excluding common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants), our net tangible book value as of December 31, 2011 would have been $____, or $_.__ per share. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $_.__ per share to existing shareholders and an immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $_.__ per share to investors in this offering. The following table illustrates this calculation.

The number of common stock outstanding used for existing shareholders in the table and calculations above are based on 34,614,368 shares outstanding as of December 31, 2011 and excludes:

 

·1,768,394 common stock issuable upon the exercise of options outstanding at December 31, 2011 with a weighted average exercise price of $0.86 per share; and
·984,799 common stock reserved for future grants and awards under our equity incentive plans as of December 31, 2011

 

Dilution under assumption of sale of 75% of the units offered in this offering.

 

Our net tangible book value as of December 31, 2011 was $(1,246,529) or $(0.04) per share of common stock. Net tangible book value per share represents total tangible assets less total liabilities, divided by the number of common stock outstanding. After giving effect to the sale of 2,250 Series A preferred shares in this offering and assuming the conversion of all the Series A preferred shares sold in the offering (and excluding common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants), our net tangible book value as of December 31, 2011 would have been $____, or $_.__ per share. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $_.__ per share to existing shareholders and an immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $_.__ per share to investors in this offering.

Selling Stockholders

 

This prospectus includes 4,750,000 shares of Common Stock offered by the Selling Stockholder, consisting of 4,750,000 shares of Common Stock underlying convertible promissory notes. The selling stockholder acquired its rights to the shares in connection with its purchase of such convertible promissory notes.

 

The following table details the names of the selling stockholders, the number of shares owned by the selling stockholders, and the number of shares that may be offered by the selling stockholders for resale under this prospectus. The number and percentage of shares beneficially owned is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under such rule, beneficial ownership includes any shares as to which the selling stockholder has sole or shared voting power or investment power and also any shares, which the selling stockholder has the right to acquire within 60 days. Applicable percentage ownership is based on 43,451,684 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of October 1, 2012, together with securities exercisable or convertible into shares of Common Stock within 60 days of such date for the stockholder. Number and percentage owned after the Offering assumes the sale of all shares offered under this prospectus. Currently, none of the shares of Common Stock offered under this prospectus are issued and outstanding as they represents shares issuable upon conversion of our 5% convertible promissory notes issued and sold on June 6, 2012 and August 1, 2012. The selling stockholders are not broker-dealers or affiliates of broker-dealers. The selling stockholders may sell up to 4,750,000 shares of our Common Stock from time to time in one or more offerings under this prospectus. Because the selling stockholders may offer all, some or none of the shares they hold, and because, based upon information provided to us, there are currently no agreements, arrangements, or understandings with respect to the sale of any of the shares, no definitive estimate as to the number of shares that will be held by the selling stockholders after the Offering can be provided. The following table has been prepared on the assumption that all shares offered under this prospectus will be sold to parties unaffiliated with the selling stockholders.  None of the selling stockholders have been an officer or director of the Company or any of its predecessors or affiliates within the last three years, nor has any selling stockholder had a material relationship with the Company except as described in the footnotes below.

Description of Series A Preferred Shares

 

Our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation authorize 25,000,000 preferred shares.

As of the date of this prospectus, there were no preferred shares designated or outstanding.

Voting Rights

However, as long as any Series A preferred shares are outstanding, we will not, without the affirmative vote of the holders of 50.1% or more of the then outstanding Series A preferred shares, (1) alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to the Series A preferred shares or alter or amend the certificate of designation, (2) authorize or create any class of shares ranking as to dividends, redemption or distribution of assets upon liquidation senior to, or otherwise pari passu with, the Series A preferred shares, (3) amend our articles of incorporation or other charter documents in any manner that adversely affects any rights of the holders of Series A preferred shares, (4) increase the number of authorized Series A preferred shares, or (5) enter into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing.

 

Redemption

 

We will have the right to redeem the Series A preferred shares for a cash payment equal to 120% of the stated value of the Series A preferred shares, if the volume weighted average price of our common stock for each of any period of 20 consecutive trading days beginning after the original issue date exceeds 200% of the then effective conversion price.  If the optional redemption occurs prior to the three year anniversary of the original issue date, our right to redeem the Series A preferred shares will be subject to the following conditions, referred to as "Equity Conditions": (a) the Company must have timely honored all previously requested or required conversions, if any, (b) the Company must have paid all liquidated damages and other amounts owing to the applicable holder in respect of Series A preferred shares, (c)(i) there must be an effective registration statement pursuant to which the Company may issue conversion shares (and, as applicable, common stock issued in satisfaction of any required make-whole payment (described below) and in lieu of cash payment of dividends) or (ii) with respect to conversions that occur after __________, 2015, all of the conversion shares may be issued to the holder pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and immediately resold without restriction, (d) the Company's common stock must be trading on a "trading market" (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) and all of the common stock issuable pursuant to the terms of the Series A preferred shares and the warrants must be listed or quoted for trading on such trading market (and the Company must believe, in good faith, that trading of the common stock on a trading market will continue uninterrupted for the foreseeable future), (e) there must be a sufficient number of authorized, but unissued and otherwise unreserved, common stock for the issuance of all of the common stock then issuable pursuant to this offering, (f) the issuance of the shares in question to the applicable holder would not violate the beneficial ownership limitations described below, (g) there must not have been a public announcement of a pending or proposed "fundamental transaction" (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) or change of control transaction that has not been consummated, (h) the applicable shareholder must not be in possession of any information provided by the Company that constitutes, or may constitute, material non-public information, and (i) the average daily trading volume for a period of 20 consecutive trading days prior to the applicable date in question must exceed 20,000 shares per trading day (subject to adjustment for forward and reverse share splits, dividends, and the like); provided that clause (g) will not apply after the three-year anniversary of the original issue date of the Series A preferred shares.  Holders of Series A preferred shares will receive 20 trading days prior notice of any redemption and will have the ability to convert the Series A preferred shares into common stock during this notice period, subject to the limitation on conversion described below.  There are no restrictions on the repurchase or redemption of shares by the Company while there is any arrearage in the payment of dividends or sinking fund installments.

 

Conversion

 

Subject to certain ownership limitations as described below, the Series A preferred shares are convertible at any time at the option of the holder into our common stock at a conversion ratio determined by dividing the stated value of the Series A preferred shares (or $1,000) by a conversion price of $_.__ per share. Accordingly, each Series A preferred share is convertible into ___ common stock. The conversion price is subject to adjustment in the case of share splits, share dividends, combinations of shares and similar recapitalization transactions.

 

If the volume weighted average price for 20 trading days during any consecutive 30 trading day period beginning after the original issue date (a "Threshold Period"), exceeds 200% of the then effective conversion price, the Company may deliver a written notice to all holders of Series A preferred shares requiring each holder to convert all or part of such holder's Series A preferred shares plus all accrued but unpaid dividends thereon and all liquidated damages and other amounts due in respect of the Series A preferred shares, into common stock at the then current conversion ratio.  The Company may not deliver a forced conversion notice, and such notice shall not be effective if delivered, unless all of the Equity Conditions have been met on each of at least 20 trading days during the applicable Threshold Period and through the trading day after the date that conversion shares issuable pursuant to a forced conversion are actually delivered to the holders pursuant to a forced conversion notice.  Any forced conversion notice shall be applied ratably to all of the holders of Series A preferred shares based on each holder's initial purchases of Series A preferred shares, provided that any voluntary conversions by a holder shall be applied against such holder's pro rata allocation, thereby decreasing the aggregate amount forcibly converted if less than all of the Series A preferred shares are forcibly converted.

 

Subject to limited exceptions, a holder of Series A preferred shares will not have the right to convert, and the Company will not have the right to force such holder to convert, any portion of its Series A preferred shares if the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (or 9.99% as elected by the holder pursuant to the terms of the certificate of designation) of the number of our common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to its conversion.

 

29
 

 

Dividends and Make-Whole Payments

 

Until _______, 2015, each holder of the Series A preferred shares is entitled to receive dividends at the rate of __% per annum of the stated value for each preferred share held by such holder payable quarterly on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1, beginning on the first such date after the original issue date, and on each conversion date.  Except in limited circumstances (including a failure to meet the Equity Conditions), we can elect to pay the dividends in cash or in duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable common stock, or a combination thereof.  If the Equity Conditions are not met, we must pay the dividends in cash.  If the Equity Conditions have been met and we choose to pay the dividends in common stock, the common stock used to pay the dividends will be valued at 90% of the average volume weighted average price for the 20 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately prior to the applicable dividend payment date.  From and after _____ __, 2014, each holder of Series A preferred shares will be entitled to receive dividends equal, on an as-if-converted to common stock basis, to and in the same form as dividends actually paid on common stock when, as, and if such dividends are paid on common stock.  We have never paid dividends on our common stock and we do not intend to do so for the foreseeable future.

 

In the event a holder converts his, her or its Series A preferred shares prior to ________ __, 2014, we must also pay to the holder in cash, or at our option, subject to satisfaction of the Equity Conditions, in common stock valued as described above, or a combination of cash and common stock, with respect to the Series A preferred shares so converted, an amount equal to $___ per $1,000 of the stated value of the Series A preferred shares, less the amount of any dividends paid in cash or in common stock on such Series A preferred shares on or before the date of conversion.

 

Liquidation

 

The Series A preferred shares would rank, with respect to rights upon liquidation, winding-up or dissolution, (1) senior to common stock, (2) senior to any series of preferred shares ranked junior to the Series A preferred shares, and (3) junior to all existing and future indebtedness of the Company.  Further, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company after payment or provision for payment of debts and other liabilities of the Company, and before any distribution or payment is made to the holders of any junior securities, the holders of Series A preferred shares shall first be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its shareholders an amount equal to $1,000 per share, after which any remaining assets of the Company shall be distributed among the holders of the other classes or series of shares in accordance with the Company’s articles of incorporation.

 

Description of Warrants

 

The material terms and provisions of the warrants being offered pursuant to this prospectus are summarized below. However, this summary of some provisions of the warrants is not complete. For the complete terms of the warrants, you should refer to the form of the warrants filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

 

Each unit includes one Class A Warrant to purchase 0.5 common stock for every share of common stock underlying the preferred share included in such unit and one Class B Warrant to purchase 0.5 common stock for every share of common stock underlying the preferred share included in such unit. Class A Warrants will entitle the holder to purchase common stock for an exercise price equal to $_.__ per share. Subject to certain limitations as described below the Class A Warrants are exercisable at the option of the holder beginning immediately after the date of issuance and will expire and entitle the holder to a cashless exercise on the fifth anniversary following the date of issuance.

 

Class B Warrants will entitle the holder to purchase common stock for an exercise price equal to $_.__ per share. Subject to certain limitations as described below, the Class B Warrants are exercisable at the option of the holder immediately after the date of issuance and will expire and entitle the holder to a cashless exercise one year following the date of issuance.

 

Subject to limited exceptions, a holder of warrants will not have the right to exercise any portion of its warrants if the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (or 9.99% as elected by the holder pursuant to the terms of the warrant) of the number of our common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise.

 

The exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of recapitalization events, share dividends, share splits, share combinations, reclassifications, reorganizations or similar events affecting our common stock, and also upon any distributions of assets, including cash, shares or other property to our shareholders. The warrant holders must pay the exercise price in cash upon exercise of the warrants unless such holders are utilizing the cashless exercise provisions of the warrants. After the close of business on the applicable expiration date, unexercised warrants will become void.

 

In addition, in the event we consummate a merger or consolidation with or into another person or other reorganization event in which our common stock are converted or exchanged for securities, cash or other property, or we sell, lease, license or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets or we or another person acquire 50% or more of our outstanding common stock, then following such event, the holders of the warrants will be entitled to receive upon exercise of the warrants the same kind and amount of securities, cash or property which the holders would have received had they exercised the warrants immediately prior to such fundamental transaction. Any successor to us or surviving entity shall assume the obligations under the warrants.

 

30
 

 

Upon a holder’s exercise of a warrant, we will issue the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrant within three business days following our receipt of notice of exercise and payment of the exercise price, subject to surrender of the warrant.

 

Prior to the exercise of any warrants to purchase common stock, holders of the warrants will not have any of the rights of holders of the common stock purchasable upon exercise, including the right to vote or to receive any payments of dividends on the common stock purchasable upon exercise.

 

Certain Provisions of Oklahoma General Corporation Law

 

As an Oklahoma corporation, we are governed by the Oklahoma General Corporation Act, or OGCA. Under specified circumstances, the following provisions of the OGCA may delay, prevent or make more difficult unsolicited acquisitions or changes of control of us. These provisions also may have the effect of preventing changes in our management. It is possible that these provisions could make it more difficult to accomplish transactions which shareholders may otherwise deem to be in their best interest.

 

 Control Share Acquisitions

 

Under Sections 1145-1155 of the OGCA, an acquiring person or group who makes a “control share acquisition” in an “issuing public corporation” may not exercise voting rights on any “control shares” unless these voting rights are conferred by a majority vote of the disinterested shareholders of the issuing public corporation at a special meeting of those shareholders held upon the request and at the expense of the acquiring person. If control shares acquired in a control share acquisition are accorded full voting rights and the acquiring person has acquired control shares with a majority or more of all voting power, all shareholders of the issuing public corporation have dissenters’ rights to receive the fair value of their shares pursuant to Section 1155 of the OGCA.

 

Under the OGCA, “control shares” are shares acquired by a person that, when added to all other shares of the issuing public corporation owned by that person or in respect to which that person may exercise or direct the exercise of voting power, would otherwise entitle that person to exercise voting power of the issuing public corporation in the election of directors within any of the following ranges:

 

·one-fifth or more but less than one-third;
   
·one-third or more but less than a majority; or
   
·a majority or more.

 

A “control share acquisition” means, subject to specified exceptions, the acquisition, directly or indirectly, by any person of ownership of, or the power to direct the exercise of voting power with respect to, issued and outstanding control shares. For the purposes of determining whether an acquisition constitutes a control share acquisition, shares acquired within 90 days or under a plan to make a control share acquisition are considered to have been acquired in the same acquisition.

 

An “issuing public corporation” means a domestic corporation that has (i) any class of securities registered pursuant to Section 12 or is subject to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (ii) 1,000 or more shareholders, (iii) either a) more than 10% of its shareholders resident in Oklahoma, b) more than 10% of its shares owned by Oklahoma residents, or c) 10,000 shareholders resident in Oklahoma.

 

The provisions described above do not apply if, before a control share acquisition is made, the corporation’s articles of incorporation or bylaws, including a bylaw adopted by the corporation’s board of directors, provide that they do not apply. Our second amended and restated articles of incorporation and our second amended and restated bylaws do not exclude us from Section 1145-1155.

 

 Certain Business Combinations

 

Section 1090.3 of the OGCA restricts the ability of a domestic corporation to engage in any combinations with an “interested shareholder” for three years after the date the interested shareholder became such, unless:

 

1. Prior to that time, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the person becoming an interested shareholder;

 

2. Upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the person becoming an interested shareholder, the interested shareholder owned at least eighty-five percent (85%) of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the outstanding voting stock, but not the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested shareholder, those shares owned by:

 

a.persons who are directors and also officers, and
b.employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or

 

31
 

 

 

3. At or subsequent to such time, the business combination is approved by the board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of shareholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested shareholder.

 

For purposes of the above provisions, “Interested shareholder” means any person, other than the resident domestic corporation or its subsidiaries, who is (1) the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 15% or more of the voting power of the outstanding voting shares of the resident domestic corporation or (2) an affiliate or associate of the resident domestic corporation, which at any time within the three-year period immediately before the date in question, was the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 15% or more of the voting power of the then outstanding shares of the resident domestic corporation.

 

The definition of “beneficial owner” for purposes of Section 1090.3 means a person who, directly or indirectly, owns the subject shares, has the right to acquire or vote the subject shares (excluding voting rights under revocable proxies made in accordance with federal law), has any agreement, arrangement or understanding for the purpose of acquiring, holding or voting or disposing of the subject shares, or holds any “derivative instrument” that includes the opportunity, directly or indirectly, to profit or share in any profit derived from any increase in the value of the subject shares.

Indemnification

 

Section 1031 of the OGCA authorizes every Oklahoma corporation to indemnify its officers and directors under certain circumstances against liability incurred in connection with proceedings to which the officers or directors are made a party by reason of their relationship to the corporation. Officers and directors may be indemnified where they 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, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful. Section 1031 of the OGCA also requires every Oklahoma corporation to indemnify any of its officers or directors (unless limited by the articles of incorporation of the corporation) who were wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any such proceeding against reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding. A corporation may also, under certain circumstances, pay for or reimburse the reasonable expenses incurred by an officer or director who is a party to a proceeding in advance of final disposition of the proceeding. Section 1031of the OGCA states that the indemnification provided for therein is not exclusive of any other rights to which a person may be entitled under the articles of incorporation, bylaws or resolutions of the board of directors or shareholders.

 

Our amended and restated articles of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws provide for indemnification, to the fullest extent permitted by the OGCA, of our directors, officers and employees against liability and reasonable expenses that may be incurred by them in connection with proceedings in which they are made a party by reason of their relationship to the company.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the registrant has been informed 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.

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 $299,984, 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 $63,668 and $54,889 from the grant during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively and $281,492 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. As of the date of this prospectus, the Company applied for the remained $13,029 of grant funds that were available through August 31, 2012.  

 

Overview of Business

 

3DIcon is a small public company that is further developing a patented volumetric (full 360° view as illustrated in Figure 1 below) 3D display technology that was developed by and with the University of Oklahoma (the “University” or “OU”) under a Sponsored Research Agreement. The development to date has resulted in multiple new technologies, a working laboratory prototype (Lab Proto 1), and seven provisional patents; six of the seven provisional patents have been combined and converted to four utility patents. Under the Sponsored Research Agreement, the Company has obtained the exclusive worldwide marketing rights to these 3D display technologies.

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.  On August 21, 2012, the USPTO approved a continuation patent called “3D Volumetric Display” and issued the US Patent No. 8,247,755. These patents describe what we are calling our CSpace®™ technology (“CSpace”).

 

Volumetric 3D Strategy

 

The Company plans to commercialize the CSpace volumetric 3D technology through customer funded research and development contracts and technology licensing agreements with companies like Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Siemens, and General Electric for high value applications like air traffic control, design visualization, and medical imaging. Although we do not have any definitive agreement in place that provides for such funding or licensing arrangements, we believe such companies would be interested in entering into such arrangements based on past and existing discussions our management has had with such companies. For example, Boeing provided letters of support for certain government grants that we have applied for, with the proviso in the letters that if the grant were to be awarded they would have an interest in working with us on the specific project. Representatives of Boeing have visited our facilities in Tulsa and viewed our original lab prototype and have indicated an interest in having our next level of prototype presented to their management group in St. Louis. We have no formal agreements or commitments from Boeing beyond these ongoing discussions. Lockheed Martin has inquired about our technology through the University of Oklahoma, however, we have no ongoing discussions taking place with the company. Mr. Aroesty, a director on our Board of Directors, sold a company to Siemens and believes we could use his contacts at Siemens to market our technologies. Furthermore, we have had general discussions with a number of similar companies, such as Honeywell, General Electric, ShuffleMaster, regarding our CSpace technology. It is our plan to hire a dedicated business development person with existing relationships and credibility with these and other similar companies and to leverage our management’s industry contacts to market our technologies to these companies. The above commercialization plan depends on our ability to convince potential customers that products based on our technology will meet their requirements and that the technical risk in developing products based on our technology will be acceptable to these potential customers. We are targeting high value applications that typically require products to be customized to the customer’s application. Since we understand the capabilities and limitations of CSpace better than potential customers, it is not unusual for this type of customer to ask the technology developer (in this case 3DIcon) to do most or part of the product development for or with the customer in exchange for funding by the customer. In 2013, we plan to solicit companies to enter into customer funded development contracts to develop our technology for or with those companies. Our goal is to generate sufficient funding from such arrangements that would meet or exceed the incremental costs of developing product prototypes for or with customers. If we are successful in completing the initial product prototypes, we anticipate generating licensing revenues from our CSpace technology begin in mid-2014. The Company believes that it has an experienced display industry and public company management team with a proven track record of successfully commercializing multiple display technologies to move our CSpace technology strategy forward.

 

 

Figure 2 - CSpace Architecture

 

In March of 2012 the Company implemented a new evolutionary, step-by-step commercialization strategy for the CSpace volumetric display technology. Under this strategy we are developing multiple staged prototypes (laboratory and trade show) with successively higher performance (brightness, resolution, and image size). Since then, we have made better than expected progress on the second laboratory prototype, which we call Lab Proto 2. Working off the CSpace architecture illustrated in Figure 2 above, Dr. Refai and Dr. Melnik have already increased brightness by 50 times (50x) that of Lab Proto 1 so that the images displayed by Lab Proto 2 can be easily seen in typical office lighting. Our technical team has also increased resolution by approximately five times (5x) that of Lab Proto 1.

 

 

Figure 3 - CSpace Timeline

 

Although Lab Proto 2 is a working prototype with significant improvements over Lab Proto 1, our technical team is also in the process of increasing the image size of Lab Proto 2 by a factor of eight (8x) and we hope to achieve such image sizes by October of 2012. In parallel, the technical team is redesigning the scanning subsystem that creates the Z-axis “slices” (or depth) and that redesign is expected to improve brightness by another factor of ten (10x). Taken together with the 50 times higher brightness already achieved, we expect, that once completed, Lab Proto 2 will be at least 500 times (500x) brighter than Lab Proto 1. Because of the larger image size and the much higher brightness we expect to see much higher resolution as well.

 

36
 

 

Once Lab Proto 2 is complete, the Company plans to develop a third generation laboratory prototype, Lab Proto 3. The goals for Lab Proto 3 are to develop a lower cost and more scalable image chamber material (plastic or glass plus phosphor) and to use that new material to construct an even larger image chamber than we are building for Lab Proto 2. As illustrated in the CSpace Timeline (Figure 3 above), the Company plans to complete Lab Proto 3 by March of 2013 and believes that Lab Proto 3 should be the last laboratory prototype we will need to build.

 

We believe that Lab Proto 3 will enable the Company to credibly engage with potential customers and secure customer funded development contracts to develop even larger and higher resolution product prototypes. If we are successful in securing customer funded development contracts, we anticipate the development of various product prototypes, the first of which we have been calling the Trade Show Prototype. It is likely that in exchange for funding of the Trade Show Prototype, our initial customer will require an exclusive license to the technology in a particular field of use (e.g. civilian air traffic control). The Company believes that any such exclusive license will be based on a set period of time during product and/or market development and based on performance thereafter. Failure by the customer to meet agreed upon performance criteria would most likely result in the license becoming non-exclusive. Any such exclusive license agreement would preclude the Company from working with other customers in that field of use during the period of the exclusive license. The Company does not believe that this strategy for funding the Tradeshow Prototype will significantly impact the revenue potential of the technology given the number of potential applications (fields of use). If successfully developed, the Trade Show Prototype, which is illustrated as an artist concept in Figure 4 below, will be fully packaged and portable so that it can be used for trade shows and on-site customer demonstrations. We believe that the Trade Show prototype will enable the Company to market and secure licensing agreements with large government contractors and large medical or industrial products companies. The Company plans to hire a full time business development person with existing management relationships with potential CSpace customers in order to secure these customer funded development contracts and technology license agreements.

Commercialization Strategy & Target Applications

 

The company plans to commercialize the CSpace volumetric 3D technology through customer funded research and development contracts and technology licensing agreements with companies like Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Siemens, and General Electric for high value applications like air traffic control, design visualization, and medical imaging. The company plans to develop product for (contract engineering) and with (joint development) customers. At this time the Company does not have any commercialized products and does not plan to develop its own products based on the CSpace technology due to the high value / low volume nature of the best-fit initial applications for this technology. These applications include but are not limited to the following:

Medical Imaging (CT, MRI, Dental);
Digital Displays: Large Format, Retail Advertising;
Air Traffic Systems, Traffic Planning, Town Planning;
Pharmaceutical and Bio-Medical Research;
Homeland Defense and Security (Baggage and Cargo Scanning);
Architectural Plans and Virtual Structures;
Interactive Entertainment;
Geo-Spatial Applications;
Casino Gaming;
Military Applications;
Engineering and Geospatial Exploration;
Military Performance (mission planning, tactical awareness, decision support, and post engagement assessment)
Space Transportation Systems;
Earth Science Research;

 

In order to simplify internal development efforts on CSpace, software to control the initial laboratory prototype was created and later productized as "Pixel Precision" in 2007. The product has been made commercially available through a sales and distribution arrangement with Digital Light Innovations that was signed March 6, 2008. This product is a result of our research efforts involving the use of the Texas Instruments Digital Micro-Mirror Device (“DMD”). The product is targeted at the application development market involving the use of DMDs, specifically the DMD-Discovery™ line from Texas Instruments™.

Competition

 

Based on our market research and competitive analysis to-date, we have concluded that the CSpace volumetric technology is unique and advantaged versus other 3D technologies in that it can deliver both 1) a true 360 degree viewing experience for multiple simultaneous users, and 2) high image quality, high reliability and large image size. Rear projection 3D displays such as those from Zecotek, Setred, and EuroLCDs (formerly LC Tech LightSpace) do not provide a 360 degree viewing experience and are typically limited to one or two users. While rotating displays (also called swept volume) such as Perspecta from Optics For Hire (formerly Actuality, now licensed), Xigen (research only), Ray Modeler from Sony (research only), Felix 3D (research only), and the USC light field display (research only) do provide a true 360 degree viewing experience, they can not deliver a large image, high image quality and reliability because the entire display is rotating at high speed. Early proof of concept work done on infrared active phosphor displays by 3D Display Laboratories proved to not be scalable due to limited phosphor persistence and vector scanning limitations. While holographic and light field displays show promise, they do not deliver a true 360 degree viewing experience and cost effective multiple user systems do not appear feasible due to current and expected pixel density, data bandwidth and compute power limitations.

 

Flat Screen 3D Strategy

 

In order to generate revenue sooner than the CSpace technology will allow, the Company plans to use stock to purchase small private companies that will provide it with significant advantages and immediate revenue in the $15B digital signage market.

 

 

Since March of 2012, the Company has been evaluating a number of second-generation glasses-free flat screen 3D display technologies and the companies that are developing these technologies. Our goal was to identify a new technology that could deliver significantly better performance (3D impact and image quality) than current large area multiple-viewer glasses-free 3D flat screen displays without compromising resolution and brightness, as do current displays. The ideal company would also have a great technical team, a broad patent portfolio, and a credible technology roadmap to ensure that these competitive advantages are sustainable into the future.

 

As a result of the above evaluation process, the Company has recently signed a non-binding Letter of Intent to acquire Dimension Technologies, Inc. (DTI) www.dti3d.com located in Rochester, NY. Based on our analysis to date, DTI appears to meet all of our requirements and in addition appears to be reasonably self-sufficient since its founding primarily due to its continued success at securing government funded research grants. The DTI management team also recognizes the value of the display industry veterans that make up the core of the 3DIcon management team. Please keep in mind that while the Letter of Intent does detail some terms of the acquisition, it is subject to the completion of an audit of DTI’s financial statements and confirmatory due diligence by both parties and therefore is not legally binding. Over the next 60-90 days it is our intent to complete that due diligence and once completed to our satisfaction, we intend to consummate the acquisition as soon as possible.

 

The DTI acquisition or another similar acquisition, if completed, will be the cornerstone of our flat screen 3D display business just like CSpace is the cornerstone of our volumetric 3D display business. Given how far along DTI is in developing products, we estimate that initial products based on their technology can be delivered to market in approximately 12 months. If the acquisition is completed, we intend to make and sell products based on the DTI technology for commercial and industrial markets (e.g. digital signage) and license the DTI technology to large Asian display companies for use in consumer products like televisions, desktop monitors, laptop computers, tablets, and smart phones.

 

38
 

 

In addition to the above flat screen 3D display company acquisition, the Company has begun initial discussions with candidates for a complimentary acquisition: a digital signage content company. This acquisition will provide immediate revenue and complement / drive demand for and showcase the capabilities of the flat screen 3D displays that could be developed if we acquire DTI. Based on primary market research conducted by the Company, the lack of high quality content (in particular advertising) is currently and has been the top adoption barrier for companies considering the deployment of digital signage. This is particularly true for 3D digital signage content where there are very few digital signage focused content companies (creative firms) that have experience in creating high quality 3D content. It is our intent to acquire one of the top private 2D digital signage content companies and then to develop 3D content creation capabilities within that company. We believe that high quality 3D content tailored to the 3D displays of DTI will drive demand for these displays and at the same time provide the Company with an annuity revenue stream tied to the 3D displays.

 

 

Currently, we do not have any agreements in place that would allow entry into the flat screen segment of the glasses-free 3D display industry or digital signage industry and no assurances can be made that such an agreement will ever be consummated. However, even if any acquisitions or partnerships are consummated, no assurances can be made that the Company could successfully bring to market such technologies.

 

History of 3D Technology Research & Development At the University of Oklahoma

 

Beginning in 2007 the University of Oklahoma under a Sponsored Research Agreement with 3Dicon, undertook the development of the following three high potential 3D display technologies. The results of each project are summarized below.

 

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

 

II – Static Volumetric Displays - This technology was ranked the best for further development.

 

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" and can be found for a moderate fee at http://www.opticsinfobase.org/jdt/abstract.cfm?URI=jdt-5-10-391 . 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 and can be found for a moderate fee at http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1889/JSID18.11.873/abstract . In December 2010, we published the utilization of new materials for CSpace®™ image space at the Journal of the Society for Information Display and can be found for a moderate fee at http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1889/JSID18.12.1065/abstract . 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 and can be found for a moderate fee at http://www.opticsinfobase.org/jdt/abstract.cfm?uri=jdt-7-4-186 .

 

39
 

 

Regarding our continued efforts to improve the performance of the CSpace technology, we are making better-than-expected progress on our second-generation prototype, which is a working prototype that is not currently ready to be presented at a trade show. 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. Furthermore, in accordance with the development strategy, we plan to further increase resolution, as well as image size, in the coming months. Once our goals for the second-generation prototype have been achieved, we intend to develop a third-generation prototype, which we believe will enable the Company to credibly engage with potential customers and secure customer funded development contracts to develop even larger and higher resolution product prototypes, eventually leading to a trade show prototype that will be portable and package for display at trade shows or on-site customer demonstrations.

 

University of Oklahoma - Sponsored Research Agreement History

 

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.   

 

During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company charged operations $37,363 and $43,884, respectively, pursuant to the SRA. At June 30, 2012, the Company owed the University $3,260 in direct costs.

 

Intellectual Property History, Status & Rights

 

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.  On August 21, 2012, the USPTO approved a continuation patent called “3D Volumetric Display” and issued the US Patent No. 8,247,755. These patents describe what we are calling our CSpace®™ technology.

 

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.

 

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.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion and analysis should be read together with our financial statements and the related notes appearing elsewhere in this prospectus. This discussion contains forward-looking statements reflecting our current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. See “Forward-Looking Statements” for a discussion of the uncertainties, risks and assumptions associated with these statements. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those discussed in our forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus.

 

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. 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.  On August 21, 2012, the USPTO approved a continuation patent called “3D Volumetric Display” and issued the US Patent No. 8,247,755. These patents describe 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.

 

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.

 

Results of Operations

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2012 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2011

 

Revenue

 

The Company earned $11,020 from the OCAST grant during the three months ended June 30, 2012.

 

In January 2008 we launched our first software product Pixel Precision™. We appointed Digital Light Innovations for the sales and distribution of this product in March 2008.

 

45
 

 

We did not have income from the sales of Pixel Precision™ for the three-months ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 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.

 

Research and Development Expenses

 

The research and development expenses were $152,908 for the three months ended June 30, 2012, as compared to $183,193 for the three months ended June 30, 2011.  The decrease was a result of issuing $39,100 of stock to the Chairman of our Technology Committee in 2011.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

Our general and administrative expenses were $323,198 for the three months ended June 30, 2012, as compared to $426,112 for the three months ended June 30, 2011.  The decrease is primarily due to $112,500 in options issued to our Board of Directors in June 2011.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $2,830 as compared to $4,647 for the three months ended June 30, 2011.  The net decrease was a result of a decrease in the amounts outstanding on our convertible debentures.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2012 COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2011

 

Revenue

 

The Company received $63,668 from the OCAST grant during the six months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to $54,889 for the six months ended June 30, 2011.  The increase was due to additional expenditures under the matching grant.

 

There were sales of $-0- of PixelPrecision™ during the six months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to $3,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

 

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 to cover the operating expenses.

 

Research and Development Expenses

 

Research and development expenses were $286,389 for the six months ended June 30, 2012, as compared to $283,627 for the six months ended June 30, 2011.   The net increase was a result of the cost of vesting of options to the Director of Technology in 2011 amounting to $39,150 a nd a decrease in expenses incurred for lab supplies and equipment of $19,600, a decrease in payroll taxes from converting certain salaries to contract labor and consultants engaged amounting to $109,000 in 2012. 

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

Our general and administrative expenses were $618,192 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to $686,933 for the six months ended June 30, 2011.  The net decrease was the result of the $112,500 of options issued to the Board of Directors in 2011 and an increase in fees and costs required for our regulatory filings, $76,000 increase in costs related to the hiring of and options issued to the new CEO, and consultants under the terms of their employments agreements, an increase of $5,000 in legal fees, and an increase in marketing and travel expenses of $20,000.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $4,710 as compared to $33,001 for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The change in interest expense resulted from decreases in the amounts outstanding on our convertible debentures during the periods and promissory note extension fee and the 5% promissory note interest from the notes converted to common stock in 2011.

 

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:

 

46
 

 

·Research and development expenses pursuant to the development of multiple staged prototypes (laboratory and tradeshow) with higher brightness, resolution and image size.
·Acceleration of research and development through increased research personnel as well as other research sources.
·General and administrative expenses: salaries, insurance, investor related expenses, rent, travel, website, etc.
·Hiring experienced management personnel as required for technology, operations, business development 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 $31,761 at June 30, 2012.

 

We had negative working capital of $491,908 at June 30, 2012.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2012, we used $670,736 of cash for operating activities, an increase of $105,821 or 19% compared to the six months ended June 30, 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 six months ended June 30, 2012 or for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

 

Cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $638,831, a decrease of $65,169 or 9% compared to the six months ended June 30, 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.

 

Pursuant to the 6.25% Convertible Debenture now due in 2014, on November 21, 2007, the Company issued and sold a convertible note in the principal amount of $1,250,000 (the “Debenture”) to Golden State Equity Investors, Inc. f/k/a Golden Gate Investors (“Golden State”). 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 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 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 $299,984, 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 $63,668 and $54,889 from the grant during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively and $281,492 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. As of the date of this prospectus, the Company applied for the remained $13,029 of grant funds that were available through August 31, 2012. 

  

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 the Company had a remaining obligation under the previous SRA payment schedule of $2,665,818 which included monthly payments due for December 2007 through August 31, 2008 of $861,131. The $1,804,687 balance of the remaining scheduled payment obligation was cancelled. Under the terms of the revised base payments schedule, the arrearages would be paid in nine monthly base installments from October 31, 2008 to June 30, 2009 of amounts ranging from $35,000 to $101,132 leaving a remaining balance after the base payments of $290,000. In addition to the monthly base payments, the Company agreed to make additional payments on the $861,131 arrearages based on a formula of 50% of funding in excess of $120,000 plus the base monthly payment. 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 the Company's common stock based on the October 14, 2008 market price as reported on the OTC Bulletin Board of $0.068 per share as payment on June 30, 2009. The Company 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.

 

The Company was unable to meet the revised payment schedule and on May 18, 2009 the University agreed to revise the payment terms. Under the terms of the revised base payments schedule, the arrearages scheduled to be paid in nine monthly base installments from October 31, 2008 to June 30, 2009 of amounts ranging from $35,000 to $101,132, were deferred to a monthly payment schedule of July 2009 through February 2010. On February 19, 2010, the University agreed to modify the repayment plan to retire the outstanding debt of $525,481. Under the terms of the modified repayment plan the Company agreed to make payments to the University, not less than quarterly, in an amount equal to 22.5% of any funding received by the Company. The Company complied with the agreed upon payment schedule and on December 1, 2010 the Company entered into an 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. 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.

 

Management plans to fund the future operations of the Company with existing cash, grants and investor funding. 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 simultaneously exercise a percentage of warrants equal to the percentage of the principal being converted.  The warrants are exercisable at $381.50 per share.  The number of warrants exercisable is subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations contained in the 4.75% Convertible Debenture (“the Beneficial Ownership Limitations”).  The Beneficial Ownership Limitations prevent Golden State from converting on the 4.75% Convertible Debenture or exercising warrants if such conversion or exercise would cause Golden State’s holdings to exceed 9.99% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock.  As of June 30, 2012, subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitations and provided that Golden State is able to sell the shares under Rule 144, Golden State is required to convert $85.71 of the 4.75% Convertible Debenture and exercise 857 warrants per month.  Based upon our current stock price, our issued and outstanding shares as of June 30, 2012 and ignoring the impact of the Beneficial Ownership Limitations, the Company may receive up to $1,962,000 in funding from Golden State as a result of warrant exercises during the remainder of the year ended December 31, 2012. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company received $638,831 in funding under the terms of the 4.75% Convertible Debenture. 

 

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

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

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

 

Significant Accounting Policies

 

Research and Development Costs

 

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

Stock-Based Compensation

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Subsequent Events

 

Debentures payable

 

In accordance with the terms of $1.25 million convertible debenture issued to Golden State on January 15, 2008 an event of default occurs if the common stock of the Company trades at a price per share of $7.35 or lower. The trading price was at $7.35 or lower on several occasions during the period ended June 30, 2012 and subsequent to June 30, 2012.  On each of the occasions Golden State, by letter agreements, agreed that the occasions did not constitute a default and thereby waived the default provision for the occasions.

 

Subsequent to June 30, 2012, Golden State converted $1,370 of the 4.75% convertible debenture into 1,134,233 shares of common stock at $0.0012 per share and exercised 392 warrants at $381.50 per share for $158,159 and advanced $50,000 for future exercise of warrants under the terms of the securities purchase agreements.

On July 27, 2012 (the “Effective Date”), the Company issued and sold a convertible promissory note #2 (the “Note #2") in the principal amount of $140,000 to JMJ Financial (“JMJ”). The Note includes a $15,000 original issue discount (the “OID”) that will be prorated based on the advances actually paid to the Company. JMJ advanced $75,000 upon execution of the Note and collected $6,000 OID. Pursuant to the terms of the Note #2, JMJ may, at its election, convert all or a part of the Note #2 into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion rate equal to the lesser of (i) $0.15 or (ii) 70% of the lowest trade price during the twenty-five trading days prior to JMJ’s election to convert. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Note #2, the Company agreed to include on the next registration statement filed by the Company with the SEC all shares issuable upon conversion of the Note #2. Failure to do so will result in liquidated damages of 25% of the outstanding principal balance of the Note #2. If the Company repays the Note #2 on or before ninety days from the Effective Date, the interest rate will be zero percent. If the company does not repay the Note #2 on or before ninety days from the Effective Date, a one-time interest charge of 5% shall be applied to the principal sum of $140,000. The principal of the Note #2 is due one year from the date of each of the principal amounts advanced.

 

The Note #2 is subject to a Mandatory Registration Agreement (the “Agreement”) whereby no later than August 31, 2012, the Company agrees to file, at its own expense, an amendment to the S-1 Registration Statement the Company filed with the SEC on July 3, 2012, to include in such Registration Statement 4,750,000 shares of common stock issuable under the Notes, (the Note and Note #2) as set forth below.

Failure to file the Amended Registration Statement by August 15, 2012 will result in a penalty/liquidated damages of $10,000. In addition, failure to have the Registration Statement declared effective within 120 days of the date of this Agreement will result in a penalty/liquidated damages of $25,000. Any such penalties/liquidated damages will be added to the balance of either the Note or the Note #2 at the Holder’s discretion (under the Holder’s and the Company’s expectation that those penalties/liquidated damages will tack back to the date of such Note for purposes of Rule 144).

The estimated fair value of the options is $200,000 and was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and was charged to operations in July 2012. The expected dividend yield of $-0- is based on the average annual dividend yield as of the grant date.

Revenue

 

The Company received $86,323 and $96,362 from the OCAST grant during 2011 and 2010, respectively.

 

We have launched our first software product Pixel Precision™. We appointed Digital Light Innovations for the sales and distribution of this product in March 2008.

 

We have earned income of $3,000 and $9,697 before commissions and costs from the sales of Pixel Precision™ for the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, 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.

 

Research and Development Expenses

 

The research and development expenses were $942,240 for the year ended December 31, 2011 as compared to $469,408 for the year ended December 31, 2010. The increase was a result of engaging outside research and development consultants.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

Our general and administrative expenses were $1,430,365 for the year ended December 31, 2011 as compared to $1,084,419 for the year ended December 31, 2010. The increase is due primarily to contracting with Mr. Aroesty, the new CEO, the new interim CFO and 10,000,000 (ten million) shares issued to Concordia Financial Group as additional compensation under the terms of the Independent Consulting Agreement.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $37,187 as compared to $75,969 for the year ended December 31, 2010. The decrease in interest expense resulted from the decrease of the amounts outstanding under the convertible debentures and promissory notes.

 

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 the development of multiple staged prototypes (laboratory and tradeshow) with higher brightness, resolution and image size.
Acceleration of research and development through increased research personnel as well as other research sources.

 

51
 

 

General and administrative expenses: salaries, insurance, investor related expenses, rent, travel, website, etc.
Hiring experienced management personnel as required for technology, operations, business development 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 $17,666 at December 31, 2011.

 

We had negative working capital of $659,560 at December 31, 2011.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2011, we used $1,118,437 of cash for operating activities, an increase of $607,302 or 119% compared to the year ended December 31, 2010. The increase in the use of cash for operating activities was a result of the increased loss from operations during 2011.

 

Cash used in investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2011 was $998 a decrease of $2,252 compared to the year ended December 31, 2010.  The decrease was a result of the decrease in the amount of office equipment purchased in 2011.

 

Cash provided by financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2011 was $770,000 a decrease of $110,368 or 13% compared to the year ended December 31, 2010.  The decrease was the result of an increase in funding under the terms of the convertible debentures from Golden State in 2011 and a decrease of in the amount of promissory notes issued from 2010.

 

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.

 

Pursuant to the 6.25% Convertible Debenture now due in 2014, on November 21, 2007, the Company issued and sold a convertible note in the principal amount of $1,250,000 to Golden State Equity Investors, Inc. f/k/a Golden Gate Investors.

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.

The Oklahoma Center for the Advancement of Science and Technology approved our 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. We received approval for a no cost modification request, which extended the first year of the contract to August 31, 2010. In addition, the Company received approval for a second year no cost modification request, which extended the second year of the contract to February 28, 2012. In connection with the grant, the Company received (i) $35,139 during 2009; (ii) $96,362 during 2010; (iii) $86,323 during 2011; and $217,824 from inception to date.

 

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 the Company had a remaining obligation under the previous SRA payment schedule of $2,665,818 which included monthly payments due for December 2007 through August 31, 2008 of $861,131. The $1,804,687 balance of the remaining scheduled payment obligation was cancelled. Under the terms of the revised base payments schedule, the arrearages would be paid in nine monthly base installments from October 31, 2008 to June 30, 2009 of amounts ranging from $35,000 to $101,132 leaving a remaining balance after the base payments of $290,000. In addition to the monthly base payments, the Company agreed to make additional payments on the $861,131 arrearages based on a formula of 50% of funding in excess of $120,000 plus the base monthly payment. 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 the Company's common stock based on the October 14, 2008 market price as reported on the OTC Bulletin Board of $0.068 per share as payment on June 30, 2009. The Company 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.

 

The Company was unable to meet the revised payment schedule and on May 18, 2009 the University agreed to revise the payment terms. Under the terms of the revised base payments schedule, the arrearages scheduled to be paid in nine monthly base installments from October 31, 2008 to June 30, 2009 of amounts ranging from $35,000 to $101,132, were deferred to a monthly payment schedule of July 2009 through February 2010. On February 19, 2010, the University agreed to modify the repayment plan to retire the outstanding debt of $525,481. Under the terms of the modified repayment plan the Company agreed to make payments to the University, not less than quarterly, in an amount equal to 22.5% of any funding received by the Company. The Company complied with the agreed upon payment schedule and on December 1, 2010 the Company entered into an 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. 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.

Director or Officer Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

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.

The selling stockholders, which, as used herein, includes donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling shares of Common Stock received after the date of this prospectus from a selling stockholder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other transfer, may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of their shares of Common Stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. We have not been advised of any arrangements by the selling stockholders for the sale of any of the Common Stock owned by them.

 

The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of shares or interests therein:

 

  ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

 

  block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

 

  crosses, where the same broker acts as an agent on both sides of the trade;

 

  purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

 

  an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

 

  privately negotiated transactions;

 

  short sales;

 

  through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

 

  broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

 

  a combination of any such methods of sale; and

 

  any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

The selling stockholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of Common Stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of Common Stock, from time to time, under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus. The selling stockholders also may transfer the shares of Common Stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus; provided, however, that prior to any such transfer the following information (or such other information as may be required by the federal securities laws from time to time) with respect to each such selling beneficial owner must be added to the prospectus by way of a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment, as appropriate: (1) the name of the selling beneficial owner; (2) any material relationship the selling beneficial owner has had within the past three years with us or any of our predecessors or affiliates; (3) the amount of securities of the class owned by such security beneficial owner before the transfer; (4) the amount to be offered for the security beneficial owner’s account; and (5) the amount and (if one percent or more) the percentage of the class to be owned by such security beneficial owner after the transfer is complete.

 

Any selling stockholder and any other person participating in a distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations under that statute, including, without limitation, possibly Regulation M. This may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the securities by a selling stockholder and any other participating person. Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the securities to engage in market-making activities with respect to the securities. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the securities and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the securities.

 

61
 

 

We have agreed to indemnify the Placement Agent against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended or the Securities Act. We may also be required to contribute to payments the Placement Agent may be required to make in respect of such liabilities.

 

We are offering pursuant to this prospectus up to 3,000 of our units, but there can be no assurance that the offering will be fully subscribed. Accordingly, we may sell substantially less than 3,000 of our units, in which case our net proceeds would be substantially reduced and the total placement agent fees may be substantially less than the maximum total set forth above.  

 

We estimate the total offering expenses of this offering that will be payable by us, excluding the Placement Agent’s fees and expenses, will be approximately $_______, which includes our registration, legal, accounting and printing costs and various other fees. We have assumed the costs of this offering on behalf of the selling stockholders.

 

The foregoing does not purport to be a complete statement of the terms and conditions of the Placement Agency Agreement and the securities purchase agreement.  A copy of the form of securities purchase agreement with the investors is included as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. See “Where You Can Find More Information” on page 68 of this prospectus.

 

The Placement Agent is be deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act, and any commissions received by it and any profit realized on the resale of the units sold by it might be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act. As an underwriter, the Placement Agent is required to comply with the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, including, without limitation, Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act and Rule 10b-5 and Regulation M under the Exchange Act. These rules and regulations limit the timing of purchases and sales of common stock and warrants by the Placement Agent. Under these rules and regulations, the Placement Agent:

 

  may not engage in any stabilization activity in connection with our securities; and
  may not bid for or purchase any of our securities or attempt to induce any person to purchase any of our securities, other than as permitted under the Exchange Act, until it has completed its participation in the distribution.

 

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.

 

Investors can purchase common stock and warrants in this offering by completing a Subscription Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, and sending it together with payment in full. All payments must be made in United States currency either by wire transfer, personal check, bank draft, or cashier check. There is no minimum subscription requirement. All subscription agreements and checks are irrevocable. We expressly reserve the right to either accept or reject any subscription. Any subscription rejected will be returned to the subscriber within five business days of the rejection date. Furthermore, once a subscription agreement is accepted, it will be executed without reconfirmation to or from the subscriber. Once we accept a subscription, the subscriber cannot withdraw it.

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.

 

63
 

 

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.

 

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.

 

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations

 

This is a general summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our units, comprised of convertible preferred shares and warrants, which we refer to collectively as our securities, purchased pursuant to this offering. This discussion assumes that public shareholders will hold our securities as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). This discussion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal taxation that may be relevant to a public shareholder in light of such public shareholder’s particular circumstances. In addition, this discussion does not address: (1) U.S. gift or estate tax laws except to the limited extent set forth below, (2) state, local or foreign tax consequences, (3) the special tax rules that may apply to certain public shareholders, including without limitation banks, insurance companies, financial institutions, broker-dealers, taxpayers that have elected mark-to-market accounting, taxpayers subject to the alternative minimum tax provisions of the Code, tax-exempt entities, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, taxpayers whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, or U.S. expatriates or former long-term residents of the United States, or (4) the special tax rules that may apply to a public shareholder that acquires, holds, or disposes of our securities as part of a straddle, hedge, wash sale, constructive sale or conversion transaction or other integrated investment. Additionally, this discussion does not consider the tax treatment of partnerships (including entities treated as partnerships for U.S. federal tax purposes) or other pass-through entities or persons who hold our securities through such entities. The tax treatment of a partnership and each partner thereof generally will depend upon the status and activities of the partnership and such partner. Thus, partnerships, other pass-through entities and persons holding our securities through such entities should consult their own tax advisors.

 

This discussion is based on current provisions of the Code, U.S. Treasury regulations promulgated under the Code, judicial opinions, and published rulings and procedures of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”), all as in effect on the date of this prospectus and all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. We have not sought, and will not seek, any ruling from the IRS or any opinion of counsel with respect to the tax consequences discussed below, and there can be no assurance that the IRS will not take a position contrary to the tax consequences discussed below or that any position taken by the IRS would not be sustained.

 

As used in this “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” section only, the term “U.S. Person” means a person that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes: (1) an individual citizen or resident of the United States, (2) a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or of any state thereof or the District of Columbia, (3) an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source, or (4) a trust if (A) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more U.S. Persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (B) it has in effect a valid election to be treated as a U.S. Person. As used in this discussion, the term “U.S. holder” means a beneficial owner of our securities that is a U.S. Person and the term “non-U.S. holder” means a beneficial owner of our securities (other than an entity that is treated as a partnership or other pass-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that is not a U.S. Person. Each prospective investor is urged to consult its own tax advisors with respect to the U.S. federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences to such investor of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our securities.

 

General

 

There is no authority addressing the treatment, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, of securities with terms substantially the same as the units, and, therefore, that treatment is not entirely clear. Each unit should be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as an investment unit consisting of one Series A preferred share which is convertible into our common stock at a conversion price of $_.__, one Class A Warrant to acquire ___ of our common stock, and one Class B Warrant to acquire ___ of our common stock. Each holder of a unit must allocate the purchase price paid by such holder for such unit among the Series A preferred shares, the Class A Warrant and the Class B Warrant based on their respective relative fair market values. A holder’s initial tax basis in the Series A preferred shares and each warrant included in each unit should equal the portion of the purchase price of the unit allocated thereto.

 

64
 

 

The foregoing treatment of the Series A preferred shares and warrants and a holder’s purchase price allocation are not binding on the IRS or the courts. Because there are no authorities that directly address instruments that are similar to the units, no assurance can be given that the IRS or the courts will agree with the characterization described above or the discussion below. Accordingly, each prospective investor is urged to consult its own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal, state, local and any foreign tax consequences of an investment in a unit (including alternative characterizations of a unit). Unless otherwise stated, the following discussions are based on the assumption that the characterization of the Series A preferred shares and warrants described above is accepted for U.S. federal tax purposes.

 

U.S. Holders

 

Taxation of Distributions

 

If we pay distributions to U.S. holders of our common stock or Series A preferred shares, such distributions generally will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Distributions in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits will constitute a return of capital that will be applied against and reduce (but not below zero) the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in our common stock or Series A preferred shares. Any remaining excess will be treated as gain realized on the sale or other disposition of the common stock or Series A preferred shares and will be treated as described under “U.S. Holders—Gain or Loss on Sale, Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Common Stock or Convertible Preferred Shares” below.

 

Dividends paid to a U.S. holder that is a taxable corporation generally will qualify for the dividends received deduction if the requisite holding period is satisfied. With certain exceptions (including, but not limited to, dividends treated as investment income for purposes of investment interest deduction limitations), and provided certain holding period requirements are met and the U.S. holder refrains from making certain elections, dividends paid to a non-corporate U.S. holder generally will constitute “qualified dividends” that will be subject to tax at the maximum tax rate accorded to net capital gains (currently 15 percent) for tax years beginning before January 1, 2013, after which the rate applicable to dividends is currently scheduled to return to the tax rate generally applicable to ordinary income.  Also starting in 2013, the distinction between ordinary and qualified dividends will disappear, and all dividends will be subject to the ordinary income tax rates.

 

Conversion of Convertible Preferred Shares into Common Stock

 

A U.S. holder who converts Series A preferred shares into our common stock generally will not recognize gain or loss, except that the fair market value of any common stock attributable to dividend arrearages may be treated as a deemed distribution if not previously recognized, taxable as described above under “—U.S. Holders—Taxation of Distributions”. The adjusted tax basis of the common stock (excluding any common stock treated as a deemed distribution) will equal the tax basis of the Series A preferred shares exchanged and the holding period of the common stock received (excluding any common stock treated as a deemed distribution) will include the holding period of the Series A preferred shares. The tax basis of any common stock treated as a deemed distribution will equal its fair market value on the date of the conversion, and the U.S. holder will begin a new holding period for such common stock.

 

Gain or Loss on Sale, Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Common Stock or Convertible Preferred Shares

 

In general, a U.S. holder must treat any gain or loss recognized upon a sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of our common stock or Series A preferred shares as capital gain or loss (other than a conversion of Convertible Preferred Shares into our common stock, which will be treated as described above in “—U.S. Holders—Conversion of Convertible Preferred Shares into Common Stock”). Any such capital gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder’s holding period for the disposition of common stock or Series A preferred shares exceeds one year. In general, a U.S. holder will recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between (1) the sum of the amount of cash and the fair market value of any property received in such disposition (or, if the Series A preferred share is held as part of a unit at the time of the disposition, the portion of the amount realized on such disposition that is allocated to the Series A preferred shares based upon the then fair market values of the Series A preferred shares and the warrants included in the unit) and (2) the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in the disposition of common stock or Series A preferred shares. A U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in its common stock or Series A preferred shares generally will equal the U.S. holder’s acquisition cost (that is, as discussed above, the portion of the purchase price of a unit allocated to a Series A preferred share) plus any deemed distributions as described above less any prior distributions treated as a return of capital, as described above. Long-term capital gain realized by a non-corporate U.S. holder generally will be subject to a maximum rate of 15 percent for tax years beginning before January 1, 2013, after which the maximum long-term capital gains rate is scheduled to increase to 20 percent. The deduction of capital losses is subject to various limitations.

 

Exercise of a Warrant

 

A U.S. holder will not be required to recognize taxable gain or loss upon exercise of a warrant. The U.S. holder’s tax basis in the common stock received upon exercise of the warrant generally will be an amount equal to the sum of the U.S. holder’s initial investment in the warrant (i.e., the portion of the U.S. holder’s purchase price for a unit that is allocated to the warrant, as described above) and the exercise price. The U.S. holder’s holding period in our common stock received upon exercise of the warrant will begin on the date following the date of exercise and will not include the period during which the U.S. holder held the warrant.

Sale, Exchange, Redemption or Expiration of a Warrant

 

Upon a sale, exchange (other than by exercise), redemption, or expiration of a warrant, a U.S. holder will be required to recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between (1) the amount realized upon such disposition or expiration (or, if the warrant is held as part of a unit at the time of the disposition of the unit, the portion of the amount realized on such disposition that is allocated to the warrant based on the then fair market values of the warrants and the Series A preferred shares included in the unit) and (2) the U.S. holder’s tax basis in the warrant (that is, as discussed above, the portion of the U.S. holder’s purchase price for a unit that is allocated to the warrant). Such gain or loss generally would be treated as long-term capital gain or loss if the warrant was held by the U.S. holder for more than one year at the time of such disposition or expiration. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to various limitations. 

 

Non-U.S. Holders

 

Taxation of Distributions

 

In general, any distributions we make to a non-U.S. holder of our common stock or Series A preferred shares, to the extent paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles), generally will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes and, provided such dividends are not effectively connected with the non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States, we generally will be required to withhold tax from the gross amount of the dividend at a rate of 30 percent, unless such non-U.S. holder is eligible for a reduced rate of withholding tax under an applicable income tax treaty and provides proper certification of its eligibility for such reduced rate (usually on an IRS Form W-8BEN). Any distribution not constituting a dividend will be treated first as reducing (but not below zero) the non-U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in our convertible preferred shares or common stock and, to the extent such distribution exceeds the non-U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis, as gain realized from the sale or other disposition of the convertible preferred shares or common stock, which will be treated as described under “Non-U.S. Holders—Gain on Sale, Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Common Stock, Series A Preferred Shares and Warrants” below. In addition, if we determine that we are likely to be classified as a “U.S. real property holding corporation” (see “Non-U.S. Holders—Gain on Sale, Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Common Stock, Series A Preferred Shares and Warrants” below), we will withhold 10 percent of any distribution that exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits, which withheld amount may be claimed by the non-U.S. holder as a credit against the non-U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability.

 

Dividends we pay to a non-U.S. holder that are effectively connected with such non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if certain income tax treaties apply, are attributable to a United States permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by the non-U.S. holder) generally will not be subject to U.S. withholding tax, provided such non-U.S. holder complies with certain certification and disclosure requirements (usually by providing an IRS Form W-8ECI). Instead, such dividends generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax, net of certain deductions, at the same graduated individual or corporate rates applicable to U.S. Persons. If the ultimate holder (ignoring intervening pass through entities) is a non-U.S. corporation or transparent entity or vehicle ultimately owned by a corporation, dividends that are effectively connected income may also be subject to a “branch profits tax” at a rate of 30 percent (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty) when ultimately remitted from the permanent establishment or fixed base to the non-U.S. holder.  A corporation for this purpose means any entity treated as or electing to be treated as a corporation under U.S. tax law.

 

Conversion of Series A Preferred Shares into Common Stock

 

Non-U.S. holders generally will not recognize any gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes upon the conversion of Series A preferred shares into our common stock, except that the fair market value of any common stock attributable to dividend arrearages may be treated as a deemed distribution if not previously recognized, taxable as described above under “—Non-U.S. Holders—Taxation of Distributions.”

 

Gain on Sale, Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Common Stock, Series A Preferred Shares and Warrants

 

A non-U.S. holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax in respect of gain recognized on a sale, exchange or other disposition of our common stock, Series A preferred shares or warrants (including an expiration or redemption of our warrants), in each case without regard to whether those securities were held as part of a unit, unless:

 

  the gain is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business by the non-U.S. holder within the United States (and, under certain income tax treaties, is attributable to a United States permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by the non-U.S. holder);
  the non-U.S. holder is an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of disposition and certain other conditions are met; or
  we are or have been a “U.S. real property holding corporation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes at any time during the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of disposition or the non-U.S. holder’s holding period for the security disposed of, and, generally, in the case where our common stock or Series A preferred shares, as applicable, are regularly traded on an established securities market, the non-U.S. holder has owned, directly or indirectly or constructively, more than 5 percent of our common stock, or 5 percent of our Series A preferred shares, as applicable, at any time within the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of disposition or such non-U.S. holder’s holding period for such securities disposed of. There can be no assurance that our common stock or our Series A preferred shares will be treated as regularly traded on an established securities market for this purpose.

 

66
 

 

Unless an applicable treaty provides otherwise, gain described in the first and third bullet points above will be subject to tax at generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rates. Any gains described in the first bullet point above of a non-U.S. holder that is a foreign corporation may also be subject to an additional 30 percent “branch profits tax”. Gain described in the second bullet point above (which may be offset by U.S. source capital losses) will be subject to a flat 30 percent U.S. federal income tax. The gross proceeds from transactions that generate gains described in the third bullet point above generally will be subject to a 10 percent withholding tax, which withheld amount may be claimed by the non-U.S. holder as a credit against the non-U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability. Non-U.S. holders should consult any income tax treaties applicable to them, as those treaties may provide for different rules.

 

We currently are not a U.S. real property holding corporation. However, we can provide no assurance that we will not become a U.S. real property holding corporation in the future. We will be classified as a U.S. real property holding corporation if the fair market value of our “U.S. real property interests” equals or exceeds 50 percent of the sum of the fair market value of our worldwide real property interests plus our other assets used or held for use in a trade or business, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Each non-U.S. holder should consult its own tax advisors as to whether the shares or warrants will be treated as “U.S. real property interests” and the tax consequences resulting from such treatment.

 

Exercise of a Warrant

 

The U.S. federal income tax treatment of a non-U.S. holder’s exercise of a warrant generally will correspond to the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the exercise of a warrant by a U.S. holder, as described under “U.S. Holders—Exercise of a Warrant” above.

 

Legislation Relating to Foreign Accounts

 

Legislation has been recently enacted that imposes significant certification, information reporting and other requirements, and in certain cases, withholding taxes, on certain types of payments made to “foreign financial institutions” and certain other non-U.S. entities. The legislation is generally effective for payments made after December 31, 2012. The failure to comply with the certification, information reporting and other specified requirements in the legislation would result in withholding tax being imposed on payments of dividends and sales proceeds to foreign intermediaries and certain non-U.S. holders. Non-U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisers regarding the application of this legislation to them.

 

Federal Estate Tax

 

Common stock, Series A preferred shares or warrants owned or treated as owned by an individual who is not a U.S. citizen or resident (as specifically defined for U.S. federal estate tax purposes) at the time of his or her death will be included in the individual’s gross estate for U.S. federal estate tax purposes, unless there is no federal estate tax in existence at such time or an applicable estate tax treaty provides otherwise, and therefore may be subject to U.S. federal estate tax.

 

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

 

We must report annually to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and to each U.S. holder and to each non-U.S. holder the amount of dividends paid to that holder and the amount of tax withheld with respect to those dividends. Copies of the information returns reporting those dividends and the amount of tax withheld may also be made available to the tax authorities in the country in which a non-U.S. Holder is a resident under the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty.

 

Backup withholding, currently imposed at a rate of 28 %, may apply to dividends paid by us.  If you are a U.S. holder, backup withholding will apply if you fail to provide an accurate taxpayer identification number or certification of exempt status or fail to report all interest and dividends required to be shown on your federal income tax returns. Certain U.S. Holders (including, among others, corporations) are not subject to backup withholding. If you are a non-U.S. Holder, backup withholding will apply to dividend payments if you fail to provide us with the required certification that you are not a United States person.

 

Payments of the proceeds from a disposition (including a redemption) effected outside the United States by or through a non-US. broker generally will not be subject to information reporting or backup withholding. However, information reporting, but generally not backup withholding, will apply to such a payment if the broker has certain connections with the United States unless the broker has documentary evidence in its records that the beneficial owner of the disposed shares is a non-U.S. Holder and either specified conditions are met or an exemption is otherwise established. Backup withholding and information reporting will apply to dispositions made by or through a U.S. office of any broker (U.S. or foreign).

 

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld from a payment to you that result in an overpayment of taxes generally will be refunded, or credited against your U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service.

 

U.S. Holders and non-U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding application of backup withholding in their particular circumstance and the availability of, and procedure for obtaining, an exemption from backup withholding under current U.S. Treasury regulations.

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.

3DIcon CORPORATION

(A Development Stage Company)

 

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 share of common stock

 

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 share of common stock is based on the weighted-average outstanding common stock. Diluted net income (loss) per share of common stock 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.

 

F- 9
 

 

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.

Note 6 – Consulting Agreements

 

Concordia Financial Group

 

The Company entered into a one-year Independent Consulting Agreement with Concordia effective November 1, 2007, and month-to-month thereafter.

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)

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 risk-free interest rate of 2.23% is based on the U.S. Treasury Constant Maturity rates as of the grant date.

Civil Action Complaint

 

On April 2, 2012, the Company was served with a Summons and Complaint (the “Complaint”) for a civil action filed by Advanced Optical Technologies, Inc. (“AOT”) in the Second Judicial District Court of New Mexico, County of Bernalillo. In the Complaint, AOT alleged that the Company owed and refused to pay the amount of $90,124.91 for services performed by AOT through December 28, 2011 and AOT also asserted a fraud claim. The Company believes the allegations in the Complaint to be without merit. Nevertheless, the Company made efforts to resolve the dispute with AOT and believed the matter to be resolved, subject to documentation. The Company intends to aggressively defend the claims set forth in the Complaint.

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 June 30, 2012, and the statements of its operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, and the period from inception (January 1, 2001) to June 30, 2012, and cash flows for the six month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, and the period from inception (January 1, 2001) to June 30, 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 $17,266,743 for the period from inception (January 1, 2001) to June 30, 2012, and a net loss of $845,623 and $945,672 for the six months ended June 30, 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 simultaneously exercise a percentage of warrants equal to the percentage of the principal being converted.  The warrants are exercisable at $381.50 per share.  The number of warrants exercisable is subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations contained in the 4.75% Convertible Debenture (“the Beneficial Ownership Limitations”).  The Beneficial Ownership Limitations prevent Golden State from converting on the 4.75% Convertible Debenture or exercising warrants if such conversion or exercise would cause Golden State’s holdings to exceed 9.99% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock.  Subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitations and provided that Golden State is able to sell the shares under Rule 144, Golden State is required to convert $85.71 of the 4.75% Convertible Debenture and exercise 857 warrants per month.  Based upon our current stock price, our issued and outstanding shares as of June 30, 2012 and ignoring the impact of the Beneficial Ownership Limitations, the Company may receive up to $1,962,000 in funding from Golden State as a result of warrant exercises during the remainder of the year ended December 31, 2012. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company received $638,831 in funding under the terms of the 4.75% Convertible Debenture (see Note 4).

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 $13,029 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 121,848 post-split equivalent shares with a market price of $290,000 on October 14, 2008 and final payment on December 1, 2010 in the amount of $525,481 of which $40,481 was in cash and 1,685,714 post-split equivalent shares 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

 

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

 

The 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.

Securities Purchase Agreement

 

6.25% Convertible Debenture due December 31, 2014 (stated in pre-split equivalent prices and shares)

 

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 pre-split 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 June 30, 2012, 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 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. There are no conversions for the period ended June 30, 2012.

 

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 $1.25 million convertible debenture issued to Golden State on January 15, 2008 (the “Second Debenture”) will be in default if the common stock of the Company trades at a price per share of $7.35 or lower, regardless of whether the trading price subsequently is higher than $7.35 per share. The trading price was at $7.35 or lower on several occasions during and subsequent to the period ended June 30, 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, 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.  In connection with each conversion, Golden State is expected to simultaneously exercise a percentage of warrants equal to the percentage of the principal being converted.  During 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 State 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 $3,563 of the $100,000 debenture into 2,901,390 post-split shares of common stock, exercised warrants to purchase 1,018 post-split shares of common stock at $381.50 per share based on the formula in the convertible debenture. Additionally Golden State advanced $638,831 against future exercises of warrants of which $388,422 was applied to the exercise of warrants leaving $266,951 of unapplied advances at June 30, 2012.

 

F- 25
 

 

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.

 

5% Convertible Promissory Note

 

On June 6, 2012 (the “Effective Date”), the Company issued and sold a convertible promissory note (the "Note") in the principal amount of $275,000 to JMJ Financial (“JMJ”). The Note includes a $25,000 original issue discount (the “OID”) that will be prorated based on the advances actually paid to the Company. JMJ advanced $50,000 upon execution of the Note and collected $4,000 OID. Pursuant to the terms of the Note, JMJ may, at its election, convert all or a part of the Note into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion rate equal to the lesser of (i) $0.35 or (ii) 70% of the lowest trade price during the twenty-five trading days prior to JMJ’s election to convert. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Note, the Company agreed to include on the next registration statement filed by the Company with the SEC all shares issuable upon conversion of the Note. Failure to do so will result in liquidated damages of 25% of the outstanding principal balance of the Note. If the Company repays the Note on or before ninety days from the Effective Date, the interest rate will be zero percent. If the company does not repay the Note on or before ninety days from the Effective Date, a one-time interest charge of 5% shall be applied to the principal sum of $275,000. The principal of the Note is due one year from the date of each of the principal amounts advanced.

Reverse Stock Split

 

The Board of Directors, subject to the approval of the shareholders of the Company, authorized an amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation in order to effect a reverse split of the Company's common stock in a ratio in the range between 1 for 15 and 1 for 35, as will be selected by the Company's Board of Directors (the "Reverse Split").  On October 15, 2011, the Company held an annual meeting of stockholders, at which annual meeting the stockholders approved the Reverse Split and approved the filing of an Amended Certificate of Incorporation to effect the Reverse Split at the discretion of the Board of Directors. On April 27, 2012 the 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. 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 were entitled to, upon surrender to our transfer agent of certificates representing such shares, cash in lieu thereof.

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 57,143 shares at a price equal to the average price of the five day period prior to March 19, 2012 which was $0.35 (the “Strike Price”). 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 57,143 shares at the Strike Price. In addition, if the Company has achieved certain quarterly business objectives, Mr. Willner will receive, at the end of each such quarterly period, a further grant of stock options to purchase 57,143 shares at the Strike Price. The estimated fair value of each of the 57,143 block of options, valued at $18,840, was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and was charged to operations in March 2012 and June 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.

In addition, if the Company has achieved certain quarterly business objectives, Mr. Melnik will receive, at the end of each such quarterly period, a further grant of stock options to purchase 28,571 shares at the Strike Price. The estimated fair value of each of the 28,571 block of options, valued at $9,420, was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and was charged to operations in March 2012 and June 2012.

On July 27, 2012 (the Effective Date”), the Company issued and sold a convertible promissory note #2 (the “Note #2") in the principal amount of $140,000 to JMJ Financial (“JMJ”). The Note includes a $15,000 original issue discount (the “OID”) that will be prorated based on the advances actually paid to the Company. JMJ advanced $75,000 upon execution of the Note and collected $6,000 OID. Pursuant to the terms of the Note #2, JMJ may, at its election, convert all or a part of the Note #2 into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion rate equal to the lesser of (i) $0.15 or (ii) 70% of the lowest trade price during the twenty-five trading days prior to JMJ’s election to convert. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Note #2, the Company agreed to include on the next registration statement filed by the Company with the SEC all shares issuable upon conversion of the Note #2. Failure to do so will result in liquidated damages of 25% of the outstanding principal balance of the Note #2. If the Company repays the Note #2 on or before ninety days from the Effective Date, the interest rate will be zero percent. If the company does not repay the Note #2 on or before ninety days from the Effective Date, a one-time interest charge of 5% shall be applied to the principal sum of $140,000. The principal of the Note #2 is due one year from the date of each of the principal amounts advanced.

 

The Note #2 is subject to a Mandatory Registration Agreement (the “Agreement”) whereby no later than August 31, 2012, the Company agrees to file, at its own expense, an amendment to the S-1 Registration Statement the Company filed with the SEC on July 3, 2012, to include in such Registration Statement 4,750,000 shares of common stock issuable under the Notes, (the Note and Note #2) as set forth below. The Company will thereafter use its best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective as soon as possible after such filing but in no event later than one hundred and twenty (120) days from the date of this Agreement. Failure to file the Amended Registration Statement by August 15, 2012 will result in a penalty/liquidated damages of $10,000. In addition, failure to have the Registration Statement declared effective within 120 days of the date of this Agreement will result in a penalty/liquidated damages of $25,000. Any such penalties/liquidated damages will be added to the balance of either the Note or the Note #2 at the Holder’s discretion (under the Holder’s and the Company’s expectation that those penalties/liquidated damages will tack back to the date of such Note for purposes of Rule 144).

 

Common stock issued for services and liabilities

 

Subsequent to June 30, 2012 post-split shares of common stock totaling 358,508 were issued for consulting services for which the Company recognized $31,500 of expense.

 

On July 2, 2012, the Board of Directors were granted options to purchase 919,768 restricted shares of common stock at $0.232 per shares as compensation for their services during 2012. The options are fully vested and expire at the end of ten years. The estimated fair value of the options is $200,000 and was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and was charged to operations in July 2012. The expected dividend yield of $-0- is based on the average annual dividend yield as of the grant date. Expected volatility of 170% 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 1.64% 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 options are fully vested and expire at the end of ten years. The estimated fair value of the options is $25,000 and was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and was charged to operations in July 2012. The expected dividend yield of $-0- is based on the average annual dividend yield as of the grant date. Expected volatility of 170% 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.

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.

The risk-free interest rate of 1.38% is based on the U.S. Treasury Constant Maturity rates as of the grant date. The expected life of the option of three years is based on historical exercise behavior and expected future experience.

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.

 

II-5
 

 

(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.
