EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

Due to the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), starting from early March 2020, the Company’s employees responsible for financials, external accounting advisors, and external auditors have been asked to work remotely. As a result, communication among those responsible internally and externally for preparing the Company’s financial statements have been suboptimal, resulting in delay in preparation and completion of its consolidated financial statements. Based on the foregoing, on May 15, 2020, the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K to avail itself of a 45-day extension to file this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q relying on the exemptions provided by an order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 25, 2020 pursuant to Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Release No. 34-88465, the “SEC Order”). This Form 10-Q is being filed in reliance on the SEC Order.

Note 1 - Business Organization, Reverse Recapitalization and Liquidity

 

Organization and Operations

 

Odyssey Semiconductor Technologies, Inc. (“Odyssey Technologies”) was incorporated on April 12, 2019 under the laws of the State of Delaware. Odyssey Technologies, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Odyssey Semiconductor, Inc. (“Odyssey Semiconductor”) and Odyssey Semiconductor’s wholly owned subsidiary, JR2J, LLC (“JR2J”) (collectively, the “Company”), is a semiconductor device company developing high-voltage power switching components and systems based on proprietary Gallium Nitride (“GaN”) processing technology.

 

Reverse Recapitalization and Common Control Merger

 

On June 17, 2019, Odyssey Semiconductor entered into a contribution agreement with 100% of the members of JR2J (“Contribution Agreement”). Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, the members of JR2J agreed to transfer 100% of their membership interests in JR2J to the Odyssey Semiconductor in exchange for the issuance of an aggregate of 5,316,667 shares of common stock of Odyssey Semiconductor (the “Contribution”). In connection with the Contribution Agreement, JR2J became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Odyssey Semiconductor. Odyssey Semiconductor and JR2J were determined to be entities held under common control through identical common ownership. Accordingly, the effect of the merger was retrospectively applied to all financial statement periods presented herein and the historical financial statements of Odyssey Semiconductor and JR2J are combined.

 

On June 21, 2019, Odyssey Technologies entered into a share exchange agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with Odyssey Semiconductor and 100% of the stockholders of Odyssey Semiconductor (the “Semiconductor Stockholders”). On June 21, 2019 (the “Closing Date”), the Company closed the transaction contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement. Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, the Semiconductor Stockholders agreed to transfer an aggregate of 5,666,667 shares of common stock of Odyssey Semiconductor to Odyssey Technologies in exchange for Odyssey Technologies’ issuance of an aggregate of 5,666,667 shares of its common stock to the Semiconductor Stockholders (the “Share Exchange”). On the Closing Date, Odyssey Semiconductor became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Odyssey Technologies, the Semiconductor Stockholders beneficially owned approximately 61.37% of Odyssey Technologies’ common stock on a fully-diluted basis, Odyssey Technologies began operating Odyssey Semiconductor’s business of developing high-voltage power switching components and systems, and all directors and officers of Odyssey Technologies resigned and were replaced by the directors and officers of Odyssey Semiconductor.

 

The closing of the Share Exchange was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization under the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805-40. The condensed consolidated statements of operations herein reflect the historical results of Odyssey Semiconductor prior to the completion of the reverse recapitalization since it was determined to be the accounting acquirer, and do not include the historical results of operations for Odyssey Technologies prior to the completion of the reverse recapitalization. Odyssey Technologies’ assets and liabilities are consolidated with the assets and liabilities of Odyssey Semiconductor as of the Closing Date. Odyssey Semiconductor’s retained earnings are being carried forward as the Company’s retained earnings.

 

COVID-19

 

The extent of the impact and effects of the recent outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19) on the operation and financial performance of our business will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak, related travel advisories and restrictions, the consequential potential of staff shortages, and project development delays, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. If demand for the Company’s services or the Company’s ability to service customers are impacted for an extended period, especially as it relates to major customers, our financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.

Liquidity and Financial Condition

 

As of September 30, 2020, the Company had a cash balance, working capital and accumulated deficit of approximately $370,000, $269,000 and $2,800,000, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company generated net loss of approximately $1,300,000. From May to September 2020, the Company received loan proceeds under government programs of approximately $685,000. See Note 10 – Government Loans for details.

 

The Company believes its current cash on hand is sufficient to meet its operating obligations and capital requirements for at least twelve months from the issuance of these financial statements. Thereafter, the Company may need to raise further capital through the sale of additional equity or debt securities or other debt instruments to support its future operations. The Company’s operating needs include the planned costs to operate its business, including amounts required to fund working capital and capital expenditures. The Company’s future capital requirements and the adequacy of its available funds will depend on many factors, including the Company’s ability to successfully commercialize its products and services, competing technological and market developments, and the need to enter into collaborations with other companies or acquire other companies or technologies to enhance or complement its product and service offerings. There is also no assurance that the amount of funds the Company might raise will enable the Company to complete its development initiatives or attain profitable operations. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing on a timely basis, it may have to curtail its development, marketing and promotional activities, which would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations, and ultimately, the Company could be forced to discontinue its operations and liquidate.

 

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

There have been no material changes to the significant accounting policies included in the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2019 and for the year then ended, which were previously filed, except as disclosed in this note.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company as of September 30, 2020 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year ending December 31, 2020 or any other period. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related disclosures as of December 31, 2019 and for the year then ended which have been previously filed.

 

Use of Estimates

 

Preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the amounts disclosed in the related notes to the financial statements. The Company’s significant estimates used in these financial statements include, but are not limited to, fair value calculations for equity securities, stock-based compensation, the collectability of receivables, the recoverability and useful lives of long-lived assets, and the valuation allowance related to the Company’s deferred tax assets. Certain of the Company’s estimates could be affected by external conditions, including those unique to the Company and general economic conditions. It is reasonably possible that these external factors could have an effect on the Company’s estimates and could cause actual results to differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents in the financial statements. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had no cash equivalents. The Company has cash on deposits in several financial institutions which, at times, may be in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits. The Company has not experienced losses in such accounts and periodically evaluates the creditworthiness of its financial institutions. The Company reduces its credit risk by placing its cash and cash equivalents with major financial institutions.

 

Restricted Cash

 

Restricted cash was comprised of cash held as a security deposit in connection with the Company’s operating lease. See Note 7 – Commitments and Contingencies - Operating Lease for additional details.

 

7

 

  

Offering Costs

 

Deferred offering costs, which primarily consist of direct, incremental professional fees incurred in connection with a debt or equity financing, are capitalized as non-current assets on the balance sheet. Once the financing closes, the Company reclassifies such costs as either discounts to notes payable or as a reduction of proceeds received from equity transactions so that such costs are recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital. If the completion of a contemplated financing was deemed to be no longer probable, the related deferred offering costs would be charged to general and administrative expense in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Fair Value of Stock Options and Warrants

 

The risk-free interest rate was determined from the implied yields from U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with a remaining term consistent with the expected term of the instrument being valued. Option forfeitures are accounted for at the time of occurrence. The expected term used is the estimated period of time that warrants or options are expected to be outstanding. The Company utilizes the “simplified” method to develop an estimate of the expected term of “plain vanilla” employee options. For investor warrants and non-employee options, the expected term used is the contractual life of the instrument being valued. The Company does not yet have a trading history to support its historical volatility calculations. Accordingly, the Company is utilizing an expected volatility figure based on a review of the historical volatility of comparable entities over a period of time equivalent to the expected life of the instrument being valued.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue under ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”). The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:

 

  Step 1: Identify the contract with the customer;
  Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract;
  Step 3: Determine the transaction price;
  Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
  Step 5: Recognize revenue when the company satisfies a performance obligation.

 

A majority of the Company’s revenues are generated from contracts with customers that require it to design, develop, manufacture, test and integrate complex equipment and to provide engineering and technical services according to customer specifications. These contracts are often priced on a time and material basis. Revenues on time and material type contracts are generally recognized in each period based on the amount billable to the customer which is based on direct labor hours expended multiplied by the contractual fixed rate per hour, plus the actual costs of materials and other direct non-labor costs.

 

The timing of the Company’s revenue recognition may differ from the timing of payment by its customers. A receivable is recorded when revenue is recognized prior to payment and the Company has an unconditional right to payment. Alternatively, when payment precedes the provision of the related services, the Company records deferred revenue until the performance obligations are satisfied. Contract assets are comprised of unbilled contract receivables related to revenues earned but not yet invoiced to customers.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, there was no revenue recognized from performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in previous periods.

 

The Company generates revenue from government contracts that reimburse the Company for certain allowable costs for funded projects. For contracts with government agencies, when the Company has concluded that it is the principal in conducting the research and development expenses and where the funding arrangement is considered central to the Company’s ongoing operations, the Company classifies the recognized funding received as revenue. The Company has determined that revenue generated from government grants is outside the scope of ASC 606 and, as a result, the Company recognizes revenue upon incurring qualifying, reimbursable expenses. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized approximately $900,000 and $121,000, respectively, of grant revenue.

 

Deferred Expenses

 

Deferred expenses consist of labor, materials and other costs that are attributable to customer contracts that the Company has not completed its performance obligation under the contract and, as a result, has not recognized revenue. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, deferred expenses were approximately $82,000 and $112,000, respectively.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company measures the cost of services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award. The fair value of the award is measured on the grant date. The fair value amount is then recognized over the period during which services are required to be provided in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period. Upon the exercise of an award, the Company issues new shares of common stock out of its authorized shares.

Net (Loss) Income per share of Common Stock

 

Basic net (loss) income per share of common stock is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of vested shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common and dilutive common-equivalent shares outstanding during each period. 

 

The following shares were excluded from the calculation of weighted average dilutive shares of common stock because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive:

 

   As of September 30, 
   2020   2019 
Warrants   155,966    155,966 
Options   1,736,250    325,000 
Total   1,892,216    480,966 

 

Income Taxes

 

As described in Note 1 - Business Organization, Nature of Operations and Reverse Recapitalization, beginning in September 2019, the operations of the Company are subject to federal and state income taxes.

 

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of items that have been included or excluded in the financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined on the basis of the difference between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their respective financial reporting amounts (“temporary differences”) at enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets for all periods, due to the uncertainty of future utilization.

 

The Company utilizes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Management has evaluated and concluded that there were no material uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s financial statements as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The Company does not expect any significant changes in its unrecognized tax benefits within twelve months of the reporting date. The Company’s policy is to classify assessments, if any, for tax related interest as interest expense and penalties as selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information

 

The unaudited pro forma information gives effect to the Company’s conversion from a tax exempt entity into a tax paying entity beginning in September 2019. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company has estimated its pro forma income tax provision using a combined federal and state (New York) effective tax rate of 27.6%. No tax benefit was recorded for pro forma purposes for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as it was deemed that the recovery of a pro forma deferred tax asset would not meet the “more likely than not” threshold. Therefore, a full pro forma valuation reserve would be established, such that no pro forma tax benefit would be recorded. Pro forma information is therefore unchanged from the actual results for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. There is no pro forma impact for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, since the entity reflects its tax provision as a tax paying entity for such period.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities arising from a lease for both financing and operating leases. ASU 2016-02 will also require new qualitative and quantitative disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The FASB issued ASU No. 2018-10 “Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases” (“ASU 2018-10”), ASU No. 2018-11 “Leases (Topic 842) Targeted Improvements” (“ASU 2018-11”) in July 2018, and ASU No. 2018-20 “Leases (Topic 842) - Narrow Scope Improvements for Lessors” (“ASU 2018-20”) in December 2018. ASU 2018-10 and ASU 2018-20 provide certain amendments that affect narrow aspects of the guidance issued in ASU 2016-02. ASU 2018-11 allows all entities adopting ASU 2016-02 to choose an additional (and optional) transition method of adoption, under which an entity initially applies the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognizes a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. Pursuant to ASU 2019-10 the effective date for ASC 842 was deferred an additional year. The Company expects to recognize operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet upon adoption of this ASU. The Company is currently evaluating these ASUs and their impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 7 – Equity Compensation Plan

 

On June 18, 2019, the Board of Directors and a majority of the Company’s shareholders, respectively, approved the 2019 Equity Compensation Plan (the “2019 Plan”). Under the 2019 Plan, 1,326,000 shares of common stock of the Company were authorized for issuance. On September 16, 2020 the Board of Directors and a majority of the Company’s shareholders approved an increase in the Plan to authorize 4,000,000 shares. The 2019 Plan provides for the issuance of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, rights to purchase common stock, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock, performance shares and performance units to employees, directors and consultants of the Company and its affiliates. The 2019 Plan requires the exercise price of stock options to be not less than the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, or 110% of fair value in the case of incentive options granted to a ten-percent stockholder.

 

On September 25, 2019 and November 5, 2019, the Company granted ten-year options to purchase an aggregate of 350,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share to non-employee directors and consultants of the Company. Such options vest one-half on each of the two annual anniversaries of the date of grant.

 

On November 5, 2019, the Company granted five-year options to purchase an aggregate of 240,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share to employees. Such options vest ratably over three years on each annual anniversary of the date of grant.

 

On March 11, 2020, the Company granted the following ten-year options to purchase shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share to the Company’s newly appointed Executive Chairman and Acting Chief Executive Officer under the 2019 Plan: (i) an option to purchase 965,850 shares of common stock that vests ratably on a monthly basis over two years and (ii) an option to purchase 321,950 shares of common stock that vests based on performance criteria to be mutually agreed to by the Board and the executive. The grant was reduced to 500,000 options, including 375,000 options and 125,000 options respectively under the two categories, due to limitations under the 2019 Plan. The terms of the 125,000 performance based options were established in the quarter ended September 30, 2020.

 

On May 26, 2020, the Board of Directors and a majority of the Company’s shareholders approved an amendment to the 2019 Plan to (i) increase the number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance under the 2019 Plan by 1,174,000 shares, such that a total of 2,500,000 shares of common stock are now authorized for issuance under the 2019 Plan; (ii) increase the maximum aggregate number of shares, options and/or other awards that may be granted to any one person during any calendar year from 500,000 to 1,300,000; and (iii) clarify the availability of cashless exercise as a form of consideration.

 

On July 16, 2020, the Company granted the following ten-year options to purchase shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share to the Company’s Executive Chairman and Acting Chief Executive Officer under the 2019 Plan: (i) an option to purchase 600,000 shares of common stock that vests ratably on a monthly basis over one year and (ii) an option to purchase 200,000 shares of common stock that vests based on specified performance criteria.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company granted options with a weighted average grant date fair value of $1.20 and $1.00 per share, respectively.

 

During the quarter ended September 30, 2020, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense related to stock options of approximately $329,000 ($198,000 of which was included within general and administrative expenses, $70,000 of which was included in research and development expenses and $61,000 of which was included within cost of revenues on the consolidated statements of operations). The Company does not believe the criteria of the performance based awards are probable to be met as of September 30, 2020, and therefore no expense has been recognized for such awards. As of September 30, 2020, there was unamortized stock-based compensation of approximately $3,600,000, which the Company expects to recognize over 2.2 years. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $1,804 related to stock options.

 

Note 8 - Commitments and Contingencies

 

Litigations, Claims, and Assessments

 

From time to time, the Company is involved in various disputes, claims, liens and litigation matters arising out of the normal course of business. While the outcome of these disputes, claims, liens and litigation matters cannot be predicted with certainty, after consulting with legal counsel, management does not believe that the outcome of these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s combined financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had no liabilities recorded for loss contingencies.

 

Operating Lease

 

On August 21, 2019, the Company entered into a lease for a 10,000 square foot facility consisting of lab and office space. The lease requires monthly payments of $16,667 and expires on November 30, 2025. The Company has arranged for a $100,000 letter of credit in favor of the landlord in lieu of a security deposit, which is included as restricted cash on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The minimum lease payments for the quarter ended December 31, 2020 is $50,000; years ending December 31 are approximately as follows: $200,000 in each of 2021 to 2024 and $183,000 in 2025.

 

Note 9 – Concentrations

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, approximately 83% of revenues were generated from one entity (“Entity A”) pursuant to our contract with such entity, and a second customer accounted for approximately 10% of revenues. 100% of contract assets as of September 30, 2020 also related to Entity A. Deferred costs and deferred revenues at September 30, 2020 relate to three different entities, one of which are individually significant. Entity A represented substantially all of accounts receivable as of September 30, 2020.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, revenues were generated from Entity A pursuant to our contract with such entity and amounted to approximately 18% of total revenues. Revenues pursuant to sale of products to another client was approximately 70% of total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2019, revenues generated from Entity A represented approximately 43% and a second entity represented the remaining 57%, respectively, of the Company’s total revenue.

 

Note 10 – Government Loans

 

Paycheck Protection Program Loan

 

On May 1, 2020, the Company received loan proceeds in the amount of approximately $211,000 under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). The PPP, established as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, as amended (“CARES Act”), provides for loans to qualifying businesses for amounts up to 2.5 times of the average monthly payroll expenses of such qualifying business. The loans and accrued interest are forgivable after certain time periods further defined in the CARES Act (the “Covered Period”) as long as the borrower uses the loan proceeds for eligible purposes, including payroll, benefits, rent and utilities, and maintains its payroll levels. The amount of loan forgiveness will be reduced if the borrower terminates employees or reduces salaries during the Covered Period.

 

The unforgiven portion of the PPP loan, if any, is payable over two years at an interest rate of 1%, with a deferral of payments for the first six months. The Company intends to use the proceeds for purposes consistent with the PPP. While the Company currently believes that its use of the loan proceeds will meet the conditions for forgiveness of the loan, there can be no assurance that the Company will not take actions that could cause the Company to be ineligible for forgiveness of the loan, in whole or in part. The outstanding balance is included in long term loans payable.

 

Economic Injury Disaster Loan Advance

 

On May 1, 2020, the Company received an advance in the amount of $10,000 from the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) under the Economic Injury Disaster Loan (“EIDL”) program administered by the SBA, which program was expanded pursuant to the CARES Act. Such advance amount will reduce the Company’s PPP loan forgiveness amount described above. The Company received an additional $139,000 under this program on August 31, 2020. The loan is payable in monthly payments of $678 including interest at 3.75% payable over 30 years.

 

Tomkins County Area Development Loan

 

On May 27, 2020, the Company received loan proceeds in the amount of $50,000 from the Tomkins County Area Development (“TCAD”) Emergency Relief Loan Fund. The loan matures after four years and bears interest in the amount of 2.5% per annum, with one year of no interest or principal payments, followed by three years of monthly payments of principal and interest in the amount of $1,443 per month. The loan is collateralized by certain assets of the Company. The outstanding balance is included in long term loans payable.

Equipment Loans

 

On August 20, 2020, the Company received a loan of $100,000 from Broome County Industrial Development Agency (5 year facility, 2.5% annual interest rate, monthly payment of $1,775); on September 2, 2020, the Company received a loan of $100,000 from Southern Tier Region Economic Development Corporation (5 year facility, 5.0% annual interest rate, monthly payment of $2,072); and on August 28, 2020, the Company received a loan of $75,000 from TCAD (5 year facility, 2.5% annual interest rate, monthly payment of $1,331). These loans were used to acquire equipment used in the laboratory, and are secured by the underlying assets of the Company.

 

The loans are summarized as follows:

 

   September 30,
2020
 
     
Principal outstanding  $683,405 
Deferred loan costs, net of amortization   (4,484)
Subtotal   678,921 
Less current portion   (55,612)
      
Total long term portion  $623,309 

 

Interest expense of approximately $1,400 was recognized for the quarter and nine-months ended September 30, 2020.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with our financial statements and the related notes and the other financial information included elsewhere in this report, as well as our Special Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 filed on May 29, 2020. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Forward looking statements are statements not based on historical information and which relate to future operations, strategies, financial results or other developments. Forward looking statements, particularly those identified with the words, “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “plans,” “intends,” “objectives,” and similar expressions, are necessarily based upon estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control and many of which, with respect to future business decisions, are subject to change. These uncertainties and contingencies can affect actual results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by, or on our behalf. We disclaim any obligation to update forward looking statements, except as required by law. Dollars in tabular format are presented in thousands, except per share data, or otherwise indicated. When used herein, unless the context requires otherwise, references to the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Odyssey Semiconductor Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation, collectively with its wholly-owned subsidiary, Odyssey Semiconductor, Inc, a Delaware corporation.

 

OVERVIEW

 

Odyssey Semiconductor Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed as a Delaware corporation on April 12, 2019. The Company acquired its wholly-owned subsidiary, Odyssey Semiconductor, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Odyssey Semiconductor”), on September 21, 2019. Odyssey Semiconductor commenced business operations on September 17, 2019 when it acquired its wholly-owned subsidiary, JR2J LLC (“JR2J”), from its founders, Richard Brown and James Shealy, in exchange for shares of Odyssey Semiconductor. The Company mainly operates its business through Odyssey Semiconductor and does not plan to operate JR2J after it completes certain work that JR2J had contracted in the past.

 

We are a semiconductor device company developing revolutionary high-voltage power switching components and systems based on proprietary Gallium Nitride (GaN) processing technology. The premium power switching device market, which is described as applications where silicon-based (Si) systems perform insufficiently, is projected to reach over $3.5 billion by 2025 and is currently dominated by the semiconductor material silicon carbide (SiC). GaN-based systems outperform Si and SiC based systems in every way due to the superior material properties of GaN. However, GaN devices have, to-date, proven difficult to process using standard semiconductor processing methods that are used to create Si and SiC based devices. We have developed a novel processing modification that allows GaN to be processed in a manner that for the first time, makes high voltage GaN power switching devices viably manufacturable. Our mission is to disrupt the rapidly growing premium power switching device market using our newly developed GaN high voltage power transistor for switching applications.

 

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

 

Reverse Recapitalization

 

On September 21, 2019, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with Odyssey Semiconductor and 100% of the stockholders of Odyssey Semiconductor (the “Semiconductor Stockholders”), pursuant to which the Semiconductor Stockholders agreed to transfer an aggregate of 5,666,667 shares of common stock of Odyssey Semiconductor to the Company in exchange for the Company’s issuance of an aggregate of 5,666,667 shares of the Company’s Common Stock to the Semiconductor Stockholders (the “Share Exchange”). As of September 21, 2019, Odyssey Semiconductor became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, the Semiconductor Stockholders beneficially owned approximately 61.37% of the Company’s Common Stock on a fully-diluted basis, the Company began operating Odyssey Semiconductor’s business of developing high-voltage power switching components and systems, all then directors and officers of the Company resigned and were replaced by the directors and officers of Odyssey Semiconductor.

 

2019 Private Placements

 

On September 21 and August 5, 2019, the Company sold an aggregate of 1,776,346 shares of Common Stock at $1.50 per share to accredited investors for aggregate gross and net cash proceeds of $2,664,513 and $2,204,502, respectively. In addition, the Company issued to the Company’s placement agent immediately vested five-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 155,966 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share.

 

On September 24, 2019, the Company sold an aggregate of 149,981 shares of common stock at $1.50 per share to accredited investors for aggregate cash proceeds of $224,972.

 

Governmental Assistance

 

Paycheck Protection Program

 

On May 1, 2020, the Company received loan proceeds in the amount of approximately $211,000 under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). The PPP, established as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, as amended (“CARES Act”), provides for loans to qualifying businesses for amounts up to 2.5 times of the average monthly payroll expenses of such qualifying business. The loans and accrued interest are forgivable after certain time periods further defined in the CARES Act (“Covered Period”) as long as the borrower uses the loan proceeds for eligible purposes, including payroll, benefits, rent and utilities, and maintains its payroll levels. The amount of loan forgiveness will be reduced if the borrower terminates employees or reduces salaries during the Covered Period.

 

14

 

 

The unforgiven portion of the PPP loan, if any, is payable over two years at an interest rate of 1%, with a deferral of payments for the first six months. The Company intends to use the proceeds for purposes consistent with the PPP. While the Company currently believes that its use of the loan proceeds will meet the conditions for forgiveness of the loan, there can be no assurance that the Company will not take actions that could cause the Company to be ineligible for forgiveness of the loan, in whole or in part.

 

Economic Injury Disaster Loan Advance

 

On May 1, 2020, the Company received an advance in the amount of $10,000 from the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) under the Economic Injury Disaster Loan (“EIDL”) program administered by the SBA, which program was expanded pursuant to the CARES Act. Such advance amount will reduce the Company’s PPP loan forgiveness amount described above.

 

Tomkins County Area Development Loan

 

 On May 27, 2020, the Company received loan proceeds in the amount of $50,000 from the Tomkins County Area Development (“TCAD”) Emergency Relief Loan Fund. The loan matures after four years and bears interest in the amount of 2.5% per annum, with one year of no interest or principal payments, followed by three years of monthly payments of principal and interest in the amount of $1,443 per month. The loan is collateralized against certain assets of the Company.

 

Equipment Loans

 

On August 21, 2020, the Company received a loan of $100,000 from Broome County Industrial Development Agency (5 year facility, 2.5% annual interest rate, monthly payment of $1,775); on September 3, 2020, the Company received a loan of $100,000 from Southern Tier Region Economic Development Corporation (5 year facility, 5.0% annual interest rate, monthly payment of $2,072); and on September 10, 2020, the Company received a loan of $75,000 from TCAD (5 year facility, 2.5% annual interest rate, monthly payment of $1,331). These loans were used to acquire equipment used in the laboratory, and are secured by the underlying assets of the Company.

 

Consulting Service

 

On October 18, 2019, the Company entered into an exclusive two-year consulting agreement with Akash Systems, Inc. (“Akash”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to provide certain consulting services to Akash in connection with process development and fabrication of GaN-on-Diamond high-electron-mobility transistors and monolithic microwave integrated circuits. Pursuant to the agreement, Akash guarantees to purchase at least one wafer per month from the Company for a total of 24 wafers during the term of the agreement, at a price of $85,000 per wafer. The Company delivered 2 wafers as of September 30, 2020, and currently, the Company is awaiting new substrates to arrive from Akash so it may perform services pursuant to the agreement.

 

COMPONENTS OF OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Revenues

 

Our revenues are derived from contracts with customers that require us to design, develop, manufacture, test and integrate complex equipment and to provide engineering and technical services according to customer specifications. These contracts are often priced on a time and material type basis. Revenues on time and material type contracts are generally recognized in each period based on the amount billable to the customer which is based on direct labor hours expended multiplied by the contractual fixed rate per hour, plus the actual costs of materials and other direct non-labor costs. We bill customers based upon contractual terms, and accordingly, we have deferred revenues and contract assets depending upon whether we can bill in advance of earnings or in arrears, respectively.

 

Cost of Revenues

 

Cost of revenues consist of material, labor, a portion of occupancy expenses, and other expenses directly related to our revenue contracts.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development includes expenses, primarily material, labor, a portion of occupancy expenses, and other expenses incurred in connection with the research and development of certain exploratory projects. Research and development expenses are expensed as they are incurred.

 

Selling, General, and Administrative

 

Selling, general, and administrative expenses consist of salaries, payroll taxes and other benefits, legal and professional fees, stock- based compensation, rent and office expenses, marketing and travel and other costs associated with our operation.

 

Other Income

 

Other income (expense) consists primarily of interest income on cash balances, and other miscellaneous items.

Revenues

 

Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 were approximately $1,102,000 and $283,000, respectively, which represented an increase of $819,000, or 290%. We have two principle clients as of September 30, 2020 (Akash and the government contract) as well as several smaller clients. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we delivered the first products to Akash under our contract. The timing of revenue recognition is driven by the completion of specified deliverables and the billing of time and materials over periods of time. Accordingly, the recognition of revenue for these contracts will vary from time to time. In both the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, we recognized 93% and 88% of our revenue from these two principle clients. The Company remainder of the revenue recognized for both the nine month months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was for delivery of products to other clients.

 

Cost of Revenues

 

Cost of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 were approximately $1,106,000 and $317,000, respectively, which represented an increase of $789,000, or 249%. The increase was attributable to increased labor costs and supplies associated with our revenue generating projects in the 2020 period. Also, there was an increase in facility and equipment usage fees during the 2020 period as compared to the 2019 period in order to support the same revenue generating projects and reflect the increased infrastructure built over the past few quarters.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 were approximately $430,000 and $156,000, respectively, which represented an increase of $275,000, or 177%. The increase was primarily attributable to an overall increase in our focus on research and development activities, which resulted in increased wage allocation of approximately $270,000 as well as increased rent, facility fees, equipment usage costs and general lab supplies.

General and Administrative

 

Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 were approximately $870,000 and $899,000, respectively, which represented a decrease of $29,000, or 3%. The 2020 period expense was primarily attributable to payroll and employee related expenses, and legal and professional fees. In 2019, the Company subcontracted all of our labor and did not have employees until September 2019, however there was a non-cash charge of approximately $525,000 related to a stock based compensation charge. During the 2019 period, the Company also incurred significant costs associated with the reverse recapitalization.

 

Other Income

 

Other income (expense) for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was insignificant.

 

Net (Loss) Income

 

Net (loss) income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was approximately $(1,305,000) and $(1,088,000), respectively, which represented a decrease of $(217,000), or 20%. The decrease was primarily attributable to an increase in research and development expenses of approximately $275,000. This reflects the establishment of the fab and increased emphasis on internal research projects.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Liquidity

 

We measure our liquidity in a number of ways, including the following:

 

   September 30,
2020
 
Cash  $370,220 
Working Capital  $269,109 

 

As of September 30, 2020, we had cash and working capital of $370,220 and $269,109, respectively. We received approximately $685,000 in funding in the form of loans from several governmental support programs from May to September 2020 – see recent developments above. We also received approximately $231,000 from the exercise of stock options in the quarter ended September 30, 2020. We expect our current cash on hand to be sufficient to meet our operating and capital requirements for at least the next twelve months from the date of this filing. Thereafter, we may need to raise further capital, through the sale of additional equity or debt securities, to support our future operations. Our operating needs include the planned costs to operate our business, including amounts required to fund working capital and capital expenditures as well as research and development. Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of our available funds will depend on many factors, including our ability to successfully commercialize our products and services, competing technological and market developments, and the need to enter into collaborations with other companies or acquire other companies or technologies to enhance or complement our product and service offerings. If we are unable to secure additional capital, we may be required to curtail our research and development initiatives and take additional measures to reduce costs in order to conserve our cash.

 

Our sources and uses of cash were as follows:

 

Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was approximately $(583,000) and $(481,000), respectively. Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30,2020 includes cash used to fund a net loss of approximately $(1,305,000), reduced by $402,000 of non-cash expenses, and reduced by $319,000 of net cash provided by changes in the levels of operating assets and liabilities. Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 included cash provided by net loss of approximately $(1,089,000) partially offset by $529,000 of non-cash expenses and reduced by $79,000 of net cash used in changes in the levels of operating assets and liabilities.

 

Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was approximately $(610,000) and $(49,000), respectively. Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was primarily attributable to the purchase property and equipment, and leasehold improvements in the laboratory.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was approximately $869,000 and $2,203,000, respectively. Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was primarily attributable proceeds under government loan programs of $684,000 and proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $231,000. Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was primarily attributable proceeds from private placements of common stock of approximately $2,400,000 less a dividend paid the stockholders prior to the reverse recapitalization of $200,000.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Management maintains “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Acting Chief Executive Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was carried out by management, with the participation of our Acting Chief Executive Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of September 30,2020.

 

Based on that evaluation, management concluded, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2020 in recording, processing, summarizing, and reporting information required to be disclosed, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Acting Chief Executive Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

 

As of the end of the period covered by this report, there have been no changes in the internal controls over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting subsequent to the date of management’s last evaluation despite the fact that virtually all of our employees are working remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We are continually monitoring and assessing the COVID-19 situation on our internal controls over financial reporting to minimize any related impact on their effectiveness.
