NOCOPI TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Note 1. Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared by Nocopi
Technologies, Inc. (the Company). These statements include all adjustments (consisting only of
normal recurring adjustments) which management believes necessary for a fair presentation of the
statements and have been prepared on a consistent basis using the accounting policies described in
the summary of Accounting Policies included in the Companys 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Certain financial information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the accompanying
disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The Notes to Financial
Statements included in the 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K should be read in conjunction with the
accompanying interim financial statements. The interim operating results for the three months and
six months ended June 30, 2011 may not be necessarily indicative of the operating results expected
for the full year.
The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification
(ASC) 220 in reporting comprehensive income. Comprehensive income is a more inclusive financial
reporting methodology that includes disclosure of certain financial information that historically
has not been recognized in the calculation of net income. Since the Company has no items of other
comprehensive income, comprehensive income (loss) is equal to net income (loss).
Note 2. Going Concern
Since its inception, the Company has incurred significant losses and, as of June 30, 2011, had
accumulated losses of $13,350,700. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company had a net
loss from operations of $68,100. At June 30, 2011, the Company had negative working capital of
$394,800 and a stockholders deficiency of $388,200. For the year ended December 31, 2010, the
Companys net loss from operations was $234,400. Due in part to the recession that has and is
continuing to negatively impact the countrys economy, the Company, which is substantially
dependent on its licensees to generate licensing revenues, may incur further operating losses and
experience negative cash flow in the future. Achieving profitability and positive cash flow depends
on the Companys ability to generate and sustain significant increases in revenues and gross
profits from its traditional business and new product lines. There can be no assurances that the
Company will be able to generate sufficient revenues and gross profits to return to and sustain
profitability and positive cash flow in the future.
4
During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company raised $18,000 in a private placement exempt
from registration under section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, whereby 335,337
shares of the Companys common stock were sold to two non-affiliated individual investors.
Additionally, in late January 2011, the Company received an unsecured loan of $15,000 from William
P. Curtis, Jr., a Director, and repaid the loan in early
February 2011. During 2010, the Company received unsecured loans totaling $50,500 from four individuals, of which
$7,500 was lent by Herman M. Gerwitz, a Director. During 2010, the Company raised $101,600 in a
private placement exempt from registration under section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, whereby 2,668,333 shares of the Companys common stock were sold to five non-affiliated
individual investors and 211,412 were sold to two Directors of the Company. Receipt of funds from
these investors and from the demand loan holders has permitted the Company to continue in operation
to the current date. Management of the Company believes that it will need additional capital in the
future both to fund investments needed to increase its operating revenues to levels that will
sustain its operations and to fund operating deficits that it anticipates will continue until
revenue increases from traditional and new product lines can be realized. There can be no
assurances that the Company will be successful in obtaining sufficient additional capital, or if it
does, that the additional capital will enable the Company to impact its revenues so as to have a
material positive effect on the Companys operations and cash flow. The Company believes that
without additional capital, whether in the form of debt, equity or both, it may be forced to cease
operations at an undetermined date in the future.
Note 3. Stock Based Compensation
The Company follows FASB ASC 718, Compensation Stock Compensation, and uses the Black-Scholes
option pricing model to calculate the grant-date fair value of an award.
In February 2009, the Board of Directors of the Company, under the Companys 1999 Stock Option
Plan, granted options to acquire 200,000 shares of its common stock to five employees of the
Company, options to acquire 75,000 shares of its common stock to two consultants and options to
acquire 50,000 shares of its common stock to an officer of the Company at $0.12 per share. The
options vested in February 2010 and expire five years from the date of grant. In accordance with
the fair value method as described in the accounting requirements of FASB ASC 718, expense of
approximately $22,900 was recognized over the vesting period of the options through February 2010
to account for the cost of services received by the Company in exchange for the grant of stock
options. There was no compensation expense recognized during the three months and six months ended
June 30, 2011. There was no compensation expense recognized during the three months ended June 30,

Note 4. Line of Credit
The Company has a line of credit with a bank that, at its inception in 2008, allowed the Company to
borrow up to $100,000 to provide a future source of working capital. The line of credit, which
matures in September 2014, is secured by all the assets of the Company and bears interest at the
banks prime rate plus 0.5%. At June 30, 2011, the interest rate applicable to the Companys line
of credit was 3.75%. Until the third quarter of 2010, the Company had been required to pay interest
only on borrowings under the line of credit. In the third quarter of 2010, the Company was notified
by the bank that the fully drawn line of credit, which had an outstanding balance of $100,000 at
that time, was not being renewed. The bank offered to the Company and the Company accepted
repayment terms that require the Company to repay the outstanding loan balance in forty-eight equal
monthly installments of $2,083 plus interest at the banks prime rate plus 0.5%, beginning in
October 2010. The incurrence of certain unsecured loans in 2010 and 2011 constitutes a violation of
certain covenants under the Companys line of credit which gives the lender certain rights,
including the right to require the Company to repay immediately the entire outstanding loan
balance, which was $81,250 at June 30, 2011, rather than on a monthly basis over the following
thirty-nine months. Should the bank require immediate prepayment, the Companys financial condition
could be materially adversely affected. Management of the Company intends to cure this violation.

Note 5. Demand Loans
In January 2011, the Company received an unsecured loan of $15,000 from William P. Curtis, Jr., a
Director, and repaid the loan, with interest at 8%, in February 2011. The loan was used to finance
the Companys working capital requirements. Additionally, the Company granted warrants to purchase
15,000 shares of common stock of the Company at $0.06 per share to Mr. Curtis. The warrants expire
in five years. A financing cost of approximately $600, representing the fair value of the warrants,
was charged to income in the first quarter of 2011. The fair value of the warrants was determined
using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: expected life-5 years;
interest rate-2%; expected volatility based on the Companys historical volatility-83%; and
dividend yield-0.
In March 2010, the Company received unsecured loans totaling $40,500 from three individuals of
which $7,500 was lent by Herman M. Gerwitz, a Director. The loans bear interest at 8% and
are payable on demand. The loans were used to finance the Companys working capital requirements.
Additionally, the Company granted warrants to purchase 40,500 shares of common stock of the Company
at $0.0703 per share to these three individuals. The warrants expire in five years. A financing
cost of approximately $1,800, representing the fair value of the warrants, was charged to income in
the first quarter of 2010. The fair value of the warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes
pricing model with the following assumptions: expected life-5 years; interest rate-2.65%;
volatility-77%; and dividend yield-0.
In May 2010, the Company received an unsecured loan of $10,000 from an individual. The loan bears
interest at 8% and is payable on demand. The loan was used to finance the Companys working capital
requirements. Additionally, the Company granted warrants to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock
of the Company at $0.06 per share to this individual. The warrants expire in five years. A
financing cost of approximately $400, representing the fair value of the warrants, was charged to
income in the second quarter of 2010. The fair value of the warrants was determined using the
Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: expected life-5 years; interest rate
2.11%; volatility-78%; and dividend yield-0.

Note 6. Stockholders Deficiency
During the second quarter of 2011, the Company sold a total of 335,337 shares of its common stock
to two non-affiliated individual investors for a total of $18,000 pursuant to a private placement.
This included, in June 2011, the sale of 46,875 shares of its common stock to a non-affiliated
investor for $3,000. During the second quarter of 2010, the Company sold 460,000 shares of its
common stock to two non-affiliated individual investors and 148,912 shares of its common stock to
Philip B. White, a Director, for a total of $30,600 pursuant to the private placement.
Note 7. Income Taxes
There is no income tax benefit for the losses for the three months and six months ended June 30,
2011 and June 30, 2010 because the Company has determined that the realization of the net deferred
tax asset is not assured. The Company has created a valuation allowance for the entire amount of
such benefits.
There was no change in unrecognized tax benefits during the period ended June 30, 2011 and there
was no accrual for uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2011.
Tax years from 2008 through 2010 remain subject to examination by U.S. federal and state
jurisdictions.
Note 8. Loss per Share
In accordance with FASB ASC 260, Earnings per Share, basic earnings (loss) per common share is
computed using net earnings (loss) divided by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding for the periods presented. The computation of diluted earnings per common share
involves the assumption that outstanding common shares are increased by shares issuable upon
exercise of those stock options and warrants for which the market price exceeds the exercise price.
The number of shares issuable upon the exercise of such stock options and warrants is decreased by
shares that could have been purchased by the Company with related proceeds. Because the Company
reported a net loss for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010,
common stock equivalents, consisting of stock options and warrants, were anti-dilutive.

Item 2. |
|
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
Forward-Looking Information
This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act),
regarding, among other things, anticipated improvements in operations, the Companys plans,
earnings, cash flow and expense estimates, strategies and prospects, both business and financial.
All statements other than statements of current or historical fact contained in this report are
forward-looking statements. The words believe, expect, anticipate, should, plan,
will, may, intend, estimate, potential, continue and similar expressions, as they
relate to the Company, are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
The Company has based these forward-looking statements largely on its current expectations and
projections about future events, financial trends, market opportunities, competition, and the
adequacy of the Companys available cash resources, which the Company believes may affect its
financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs. This Form 10-Q
also contains forward-looking statements attributed to third parties. All such statements can be
affected by inaccurate assumptions, including, without limitation, with respect to risks,
uncertainties, anticipated operating efficiencies, new business prospects and the rate of expense
increases. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking statements
in this report may not occur and actual results could differ materially from those anticipated or
implied in the forward-looking statements. For these reasons, and because of the uncertainty
relating to the current financial crisis in todays economic environment and the potential
reduction in demand for the Companys products, you should not consider this information to be a
guarantee by the Company or any other person that its objectives and plans will be achieved. When
you consider these forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind the Risk Factors and other
cautionary statements set forth in this Item 2 and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. The Companys
forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made. The Company undertakes no obligation to
update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future
events or otherwise.
The following Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Financial Statements and related notes
included elsewhere in this report as well as with the Companys audited Financial Statements and
Notes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2010 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on March 31, 2011 and keeping in
mind this cautionary statement regarding forward-looking information.
Results of Operations
The Companys revenues are derived from (i) royalties paid by licensees of the Companys
technologies; (ii) fees for the provision of technical services to licensees; and (iii) the direct
sale of (a) products incorporating the Companys technologies, such as inks, security paper and
pressure sensitive labels, and (b) equipment used to support the application of the Companys
technologies, such as ink-jet printing systems. Royalties consist of guaranteed minimum royalties
payable by the Companys licensees and/or additional royalties, which typically vary
with the licensees sales or production of products incorporating the licensed technology.
Technical services, in the form of on-site or telephone consultations by members of the Companys
technical staff, may be offered to licensees of the Companys technologies. The consulting fees are
billed at agreed upon per diem or hourly rates at the time the services are rendered. Service fees
and sales revenues vary directly with the number of units of service or product provided.
10
The Company recognizes revenue on its lines of business as follows:
a) License fees and royalties are recognized when the license term begins. Upon inception of
the license term, revenue is recognized in a manner consistent with the nature of the transaction
and the earnings process, which generally is ratably over the license term;
b) Product sales are recognized (i) upon shipment of products; (ii) when the price is fixed or
determinable; and (iii) when collectability is reasonably assured; and
c) Fees for technical services are recognized when (i) the service has been rendered; (ii) an
arrangement exists; (iii) the price is fixed or determinable based upon a per diem or hourly rate;
and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.
The Company believes that, as fixed cost reductions beyond those it has achieved in recent
years may not be achievable, its operating results are substantially dependent on revenue levels.
Because revenues derived from licenses and royalties carry a much higher gross profit margin than
other revenues, operating results are also substantially affected by changes in revenue mix.
Both the absolute amounts of the Companys revenues and the mix among the various sources of
revenue are subject to substantial fluctuation. The Company has a relatively small number of
substantial customers rather than a large number of small customers. Accordingly, changes in the
revenue received from a significant customer can have a substantial effect on the Companys total
revenue and on its revenue mix and overall financial performance. Such changes may result from a
customers product development delays, engineering changes, changes in product marketing strategies
and the like. In addition, certain customers have, from time to time, sought to renegotiate certain
provisions of their license agreements and, when the Company agrees to revise terms, revenues from
the customer may be affected. The addition of a substantial new customer or the loss of a
substantial existing customer may also have a substantial effect on the Companys total revenue,
revenue mix and operating results.
Revenues for the second quarter of 2011 were $187,800 compared to $152,200 in the second
quarter of 2010, an increase of $35,600, or approximately 23%. Licenses, royalties and fees
increased by $49,900, or approximately 86%, to $107,600 in the second quarter of 2011 from $57,700
in the second quarter of 2010. The increase in licenses, royalties and fees is due primarily to
higher licensing revenues from a licensee in the entertainment and toy products market, license
fees from a licensee in the entertainment and toy products market whose license commenced in
mid-2010 and license fees and royalty revenues from a new licensee in the entertainment and toy
products market whose multi-year license agreement commenced in the second quarter of 2011. There
can be no assurances that the marketing and product development activities of the Companys
licensees or other businesses in the entertainment and toy products market will produce a
significant increase in revenues for the Company, nor can the timing of
any potential revenue increases be predicted, particularly given the uncertain economic
conditions being experienced worldwide.
11
Product and other sales decreased by $14,300, or approximately 15%, to $80,200 in the second
quarter of 2011 from $94,500 in the second quarter of 2010. Sales of ink decreased in the second
quarter of 2011 compared to the second quarter of 2010 reflecting lower security ink requirements
of the Companys licensees in the retail receipt and document fraud market in the second quarter of
2011 compared to the second quarter of 2010. Ink sales to the third party printers of the Companys
two major licensees in the entertainment and toy products market in the second quarter of 2011
approximated the ink sales to these printers in the second quarter of 2010. The Company derived
revenues of approximately $119,400 from licensees and their printers in the entertainment and toy
products market in the second quarter of 2011 compared to approximately $70,100 in the second
quarter of 2010.
For the first six months of 2011, revenues were $412,500, representing an increase of
$167,600, or approximately 68% over revenues of $244,900 in the first six months of 2010. Licenses,
royalties and fees of $199,800 in the first six months of 2011 were $88,100, or approximately 79%
higher than licenses, royalties and fees of $111,700 in the first six months of 2010. This increase
was due primarily to higher licensing revenues from a licensee in the entertainment and toy
products market, license fees from a licensee in the entertainment and toy products market whose
license commenced in mid-2010 and license fees and royalty revenues from a new licensee in the
entertainment and toy products market whose multi-year license agreement commenced in the second
quarter of 2011.
Product and other sales increased by $79,500, or approximately 60%, to $212,700 in the first
six months of 2011 from $133,200 in the first six months of 2010. Sales of ink increased in the six
months of 2011 compared to the first six months of 2010 due primarily to ink shipments to the third
party printers used by the Companys two major licensees in the entertainment and toy products
market and the second shipment of entertainment and toy products that incorporate the Companys
technologies to the operating division in South America of the Companys new international
customer, offset in part by lower ink sales to the Companys licensees in the retail receipt and
document fraud market in the first six months of 2011 compared to the first six months of 2010. The
Company derived revenues of approximately $270,900 from licensees and their printers in the
entertainment and toy products market in the first six months of 2011 compared to revenues of
approximately $96,100 in the first six months of 2010.
The Companys gross profit increased to $123,600 in the second quarter of 2011, or
approximately 66% of revenues, from $75,800 in the second quarter of 2010 or approximately 50% of
revenues. Licenses, royalties and fees have historically carried a higher gross profit than product
and other sales. Such other sales generally consist of supplies or other manufactured products
which incorporate the Companys technologies or equipment used to support the application of its
technologies. These items (except for inks which are manufactured by the Company) are generally
purchased from third-party vendors and resold to the end-user or licensee and carry a lower gross
profit than licenses, royalties and fees. The higher gross profit in the second quarter of 2011
compared to the second quarter of 2010 results primarily from higher gross revenues from licenses,
royalties and fees offset in part by lower product and other sales in the second quarter of 2011
compared to the second quarter of 2010.
12
For the first six months of 2011, gross profit was $263,600, or approximately 64% of revenues,
compared to $100,800, or approximately 41% of revenues, in the first six months of 2010. The
increase in gross profit in absolute dollars and as a percentage of revenues in the first six
months of 2011 compared to the first six months of 2010 resulted from higher gross revenues of
licenses, royalties and fees and product and other sales in the first six months of 2011 compared
to the first six months of 2010.
As the variable component of cost of revenues related to licenses, royalties and fees is a low
percentage of these revenues and the fixed component is not substantial, period to period changes
in revenues from licenses, royalties and fees can significantly affect both the gross profit from
licenses, royalties and fees as well as overall gross profit. Primarily due to the increase in
revenues from licenses, royalties and fees in the second quarter of 2011 compared to the second
quarter of 2010, gross profit from licenses, royalties and fees increased to approximately 85% of
revenues from licenses, royalties and fees in the second quarter of 2011 from approximately 67% in
the second quarter of 2010 and to approximately 84% of revenues from licenses, royalties and fees
in the first six months of 2011 from approximately 64% in the first six months of 2010.
The gross profit, expressed as a percentage of revenues, of product and other sales is
dependent on both the overall sales volumes of product and other sales and on the mix of the
specific goods produced and/or sold. The gross profit from product and other sales increased to
approximately 40% of revenues in the second quarter of 2011 compared to approximately 39% of
revenues in the second quarter of 2010. This increase was due to favorable margins on certain
products due to both favorable customer mix and raw materials prices and a staff reduction in the
second quarter of 2010. For the first six months of 2011, the gross profit, expressed as a
percentage of revenues, increased to approximately 45% of revenues from product and other sales
compared to approximately 22% of revenues from product and other sales in the first six months of
2010 due to higher sales of these products in the first six months of 2011 compared to the first
six months of 2010, favorable margins on certain products due to both favorable customer mix and
raw materials prices and a staff reduction in the second quarter of 2010.
Research and development expenses declined to $28,600 in the second quarter of 2011 from
$35,100 in the second quarter of 2010 and to $57,400 in first six months of 2011 from $77,100 in
first six months of 2010. This decrease is due primarily to a staff reduction in the second quarter
of 2010.
Sales and marketing expenses increased to $43,700 in the second quarter of 2011 from $34,700
in the second quarter of 2010 and to $92,400 in the first six months of 2011 from $69,100 in the
first six months of 2010. The increase in both the second quarter and first six months of 2011
compared to the second quarter and first six months of 2010 is due primarily to higher commission
expenses on the higher level of revenues, relocation expenses related to the relocation of an
employee from North Carolina to Pennsylvania and higher travel expenses in the first six months of
2011 compared to the first six months of 2010.
General and administrative expenses increased to $81,100 in the second quarter of 2011 from
$74,500 in the second quarter of 2010 and to $181,900 in the first six months of 2011 from $175,000
in the first six months of 2010. The increase in both the second quarter and first six months of
2011 compared to the second quarter and first six months of 2010 is due primarily to higher patent
related expenses and professional fees in the second quarter and first six months of 2011 compared
to the second quarter and first six months of 2010.
13
Other income (expenses) includes interest on funds borrowed under the Companys line of credit
with a bank and on unsecured loans from five individuals. Also included in other income (expenses)
are financing costs related to warrants issued in the first six months of 2011 and the second
quarter and first six months of 2010 in conjunction with unsecured loans received during those
periods.
The lower net loss of $32,200 and $73,400 in the second quarter and first six months of 2011
compared to the net loss of $71,100 and $226,200, respectively, in the second quarter and first six
months of 2010 resulted primarily from a higher gross profit on a higher level of revenues offset
in part by higher sales and marketing expenses and general and administrative expenses in the
second quarter and first six months of 2011 compared to the second quarter and first six months of
2010.
Plan of Operation, Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the first six months of 2011, the Companys cash increased to $82,300 at June 30, 2011
from $10,600 at December 31, 2010. During the first six months of 2011, the Company generated
$66,200 from its operating activities, received $18,000 from the sale of 335,337 shares of its
common stock and borrowed $15,000 from a director. The Company repaid the loan from the director
and also repaid $12,500 of its line of credit with a bank.
During the first six months of 2011, the Companys revenues increased as a result of higher
license fees from a major customer in the entertainment and toy products market, license fees
generated from a license signed in mid-2010 with a licensee in the entertainment and toy products
market, sales of ink to the licensed printers of these customers, a second sale of products
incorporating the Companys technologies to a new customer in the entertainment and toy products
market and license and royalty revenues from a new licensee signed in the first quarter of 2011. As
the Companys total overhead and other expenses in the first six months of 2011 were comparable to
the total overhead and other expenses in the first six months of 2010, the increase in the gross
profit resulted in a reduction of the Companys net loss to $73,400 in the first six months of 2011
compared to $226,200 in the first six months of 2010. The Company had positive operating cash flow
of $66,200 during the first six months of 2011. At June 30, 2011, the Company had negative working
capital of $394,800 and a stockholders deficiency of $388,200. For the full year of 2010, the
Company had a net loss of $245,100 and had negative operating cash flow of $170,200. At December
31, 2010, the Company had negative working capital of $343,000 and a $333,400 stockholders
deficiency.
During 2010, the Company accepted an offer by the bank to repay the then outstanding balance
of $100,000 under its line of credit with a bank in forty-eight equal monthly installments, plus
interest, beginning in October 2010. As of June 30, 2011, the balance on the line of credit had
been reduced to $81,250. During 2010 and early 2011, the Company received unsecured loans totaling
$65,500 from five individuals and repaid $15,000 of those amounts borrowed. Additionally, in 2010
and 2011 through the date of this report, the Company raised approximately $119,600 through the
sale of 3,215,082 shares of its common stock. These borrowings and sales of common stock have
allowed the Company to remain in operation through the current date. There can be no assurances
that the Company will be able to secure sufficient additional funding through investments or
borrowings that will allow the Company to fund losses that it presently believes may continue
during 2011. The Company believes that
without additional investment, it may be forced to cease operations at an undetermined date in
the future.
14
The Companys plan of operation for the twelve months beginning with the date of this
quarterly report consists of concentrating available human and financial resources to continue to
capitalize on the specific business relationships the Company has developed in the entertainment
and toy products market, including a new licensee added in 2010, a new international customer added
in 2010 and a new licensee added in the first quarter of 2011. The Company plans to continue
developing applications for these licensees while expanding its licensee base in the entertainment
and toy market. Additionally, the Company anticipates revenue growth in the retail loss prevention
market through increased royalties from security ink sales to its long-standing and recently-added
licensees in this market. The Company will continue to adjust its production and technical staff as
necessary. The Company will also, subject to available financial resources, invest in capital
equipment needed to support potential growth in ink production requirements beyond its current
capacity. Additionally, the Company will pursue opportunities to market its current technologies in
specific security and non-security markets.
The Company has received and continues to seek additional capital, in the form of debt, equity
or both, to support its working capital requirements. There can be no assurances that the Company
will be successful in raising additional capital, or that such additional capital, if obtained,
will enable the Company to generate additional revenues and positive cash flow.
The Company generates a significant portion of its total revenues from licensees in the
entertainment and toy products market. These licensees generally sell their products through retail
outlets. Over the balance of the year, such sales may be adversely affected by a continuation of
the slowdown in consumer spending that was experienced during 2009 and 2010 due to the current
negative economic environment. As a result, the Companys revenues, results of operations and
liquidity may continue to be negatively impacted as they were during the previous two years.
Risk Factors
The Companys operating results, financial condition and stock price are subject to certain
risks, some of which are beyond the Companys control. These risks could cause actual operating and
financial results to differ materially from those expressed in the Companys forward looking
statements, including the risks described below and the risks identified in other documents which
are filed and furnished with the SEC, including the Companys annual report on Form 10-K filed on
March 31, 2011:
Access to Capital. The Company anticipates the need to raise capital in order to fund its
historical and new business operations. The crisis in the financial markets that commenced in 2007
caused serious deterioration in the net worth and liquidity of many investors, including potential
investors in the Company, and seriously eroded investor confidence in general making it more
difficult for the Company to raise capital. If the Company is unable to secure capital, in the form
of debt, equity or both, that may be needed in the future, it may be forced to cease operations.
There can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in obtaining additional investment
in sufficient amounts to fund its ongoing business operations.
15
Line of Credit. The Company has a line of credit with a bank that, at its inception, allowed the
Company to borrow a maximum of $100,000. In August 2010, after the bank indicated that it would not
renew the line of credit, the Company accepted an offer by the bank to repay the then outstanding
loan balance of $100,000 in forty-eight equal monthly installments of $2,083, plus interest,
beginning in October 2010 and maturing in September 2014. During 2010 and the first quarter of
2011, the Company incurred unsecured loans totaling $65,500 from five individuals and repaid
$15,000 of these loans. The incurrence of these unsecured loans constituted a violation of certain
covenants of the Companys line of credit with the bank. Under the terms of the line of credit
agreement, this covenant violation is an event of default whereby the bank has certain rights,
including the right to require the Company to immediately repay the entire outstanding loan
balance. Should the bank impose a requirement for immediate repayment of the entire outstanding
loan balance, which was $81,250 at June 30, 2011, this could have a material adverse effect on the
Companys financial condition.
Dependency on Major Customer. The Company derives a significant percentage of its revenues through
a licensing relationship with a major customer. Revenues obtained directly from this customer and
indirectly, through the customers third party printer, equaled approximately 42% of the Companys
second quarter 2011 revenues, approximately 45% of the Companys first half 2011 revenues and
approximately 39% of the Companys 2010 full year revenues. The Company also has substantial
receivables from these businesses. The Company is dependent on its licensees to develop new
products and markets that will generate increases in its licensing and product revenues. While a
multi-year license exists with this major customer, the inability of the Companys licensees to
maintain at least current levels of sales of products utilizing the Companys technologies could
adversely affect the Companys operating results and cash flow. Additionally, as the Companys
licensees continue to be adversely affected by the current economic downturn, the Companys
revenues may be adversely impacted. In late 2009, the Company entered into a three-year license
agreement that commenced in January 2010. This license agreement contains guaranteed minimum annual
royalties covering products sold under previous license agreements with two of the licensees
operating divisions. Although the agreement contains renewal options, there can be no assurances
that the license will continue in force at the same or more favorable terms beyond its current
termination date.
Possible Inability to Develop New Business. Management of the Company believes that any significant
improvement in the Companys cash flow must result from increases in revenues from traditional
sources and from new revenue sources. The Company raised cash through additional capital investment
and loans from individuals in 2010 and 2011. The Company also benefited from limiting increases in
its operating expenses and reducing its operating expenses when possible. The Companys ability to
develop new revenues may depend on the extent of its marketing activities and its research and
development activities, both of which are limited. There are no assurances that the resources that
the Company can devote to marketing and to research and development will be sufficient to increase
its revenues to levels that will enable it to maintain positive operating cash flow in the future.
Inability to Obtain Raw Materials and Products for Resale. The Companys adverse financial
condition has required it to significantly defer payments due to (i) vendors who supply raw
materials and other components of its security inks and (ii) providers of professional and other
services. As a result, the Company is required to pay cash in advance of shipment to certain of its
suppliers. The inability to obtain materials on a timely basis and the possibility that certain
vendors may permanently discontinue supplying the Company with needed products and
services may result in delayed shipments to customers and further impact the Companys ability to
service its customers, thereby adversely affecting the Companys relationships with its customers
and licensees. There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to maintain its vendor
relationships in an acceptable manner.
16
Uneven Pattern of Quarterly and Annual Operating Results. The Companys revenues, which are derived
primarily from licensing and sales of products incorporating its technologies as well as royalties
from these products, are difficult to forecast; such forecasting difficulty is due to, among other
reasons, the long sales cycle of the Companys technologies, the potential for customer delay or
deferral of implementation of the Companys technologies, the size and timing of inception of
individual license agreements, the success of the Companys licensees and strategic partners in
exploiting the market for the licensed products, modifications of customer budgets, and uneven
patterns of royalty revenue and product orders. As the Companys revenue base is not substantial,
delays in the finalization of license contracts, the implementation of the technology to initiate
the revenue stream and the ordering decisions of customers can have a material adverse effect on
the Companys quarterly and annual revenue expectations. As the Companys operating expenses are
substantially fixed, income expectations will be subject to a similar adverse outcome. As licensees
for the entertainment and toy products markets are added, the predictability of the Companys
revenue stream may be further impacted.
Volatility of Stock Price. The market price for the Companys common stock has historically
experienced significant fluctuations and may continue to do so. With the exception of 2007, from
its inception, the Company has operated at a loss and has not produced revenue levels traditionally
associated with publicly-traded companies. The Companys common stock is not listed on a national
or regional securities exchange and, consequently, the Company receives limited publicity regarding
its business achievements and prospects. Additionally, securities analysts and traders do not
extensively follow the Companys stock and its stock is thinly traded. The Companys market price
may be affected by announcements of new relationships or modifications to existing relationships.
The stock prices of many developing public companies, particularly those with small
capitalizations, have experienced wide fluctuations not necessarily related to operating
performance. Such fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of the Companys common stock.
Intellectual Property. The Company relies on a combination of protections provided under applicable
international patent, trademark and trade secret laws. The Company also relies on confidentiality,
non-analysis and licensing agreements to establish and protect its rights in its proprietary
technologies. While the Company actively attempts to protect these rights, its technologies may be
compromised through reverse engineering or other means. In addition, the Companys ability to
enforce its intellectual property rights through appropriate legal action has been and will
continue to be limited by its adverse liquidity. There can be no assurances that the Company will
be able to protect the basis of its technologies from discovery by unauthorized third parties or to
preclude unauthorized persons from conducting activities that infringe on the Companys rights. The
Companys adverse liquidity situation also impacts its ability to obtain patent protection on its
intellectual property and to maintain protection on previously issued patents. As advised by its
patent counsel, the Company has paid patent maintenance fees of approximately $400 during the first
six months of 2011. There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to continue to
prosecute new patents and maintain issued patents. As a result, the Companys customer and licensee
relationships could be adversely affected, and the
value of the Companys technologies and intellectual property (including their value upon
liquidation) could be substantially diminished.
17
Economic Conditions. The Companys revenue is susceptible to changes in general economic conditions
and the present global recession that is expected to continue during 2011. The Companys sales,
liquidity and overall results of operations may be negatively affected by decreasing consumer
confidence, further slowdowns in consumer spending or other downturns in the U.S. economy as a
whole or in any geographic markets from which the Company derives revenue. In addition, these
factors may result in decreased customer and licensee demand for the Companys products and may
negatively impact the Companys ability to develop new customers and licensees. Due to the
uncertainty surrounding the financial crisis, the Company is unable to predict the effect of such
conditions on its customers and licensees. Consequently, the Company cannot predict the scope or
magnitude of the negative effect resulting from an ongoing global financial crisis and economic
slowdown.

pronouncements that had a material effect on the Companys financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
As of June 30, 2011, there are no recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted which would

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds |
On June 9, 2011, the Company sold 46,875 shares of its Common Stock, $0.01 per share
(the Common Stock), to an individual accredited investor (who was acquainted with a
member of the Companys Board of Directors) for $3,000, or $0.064 per share. The shares of
Common Stock were sold in a private transaction exempt from registration pursuant to
Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. Appropriate legends were affixed to the securities
issued in this transaction. The recipient of securities in this transaction had adequate
access, through employment or business relationships, to information about us. No
underwriters were involved in this transaction or received any commissions or other
compensation. Proceeds of the sale of Common Stock were used to fund the Companys working
capital requirements.
During the second quarter of 2011, the Company sold 335,337 shares of its Common
Stock to two non-affiliated individual investors for a total of $18,000 pursuant to a
private placement. Appropriate legends were affixed to the securities issued in these

Item 3. |
|
Defaults Upon Senior Securities |
During 2010 and the first six months of 2011, the Company accepted unsecured loans
totaling $65,500 from five individuals and repaid $15,000 of the loans received. The
acceptance of these unsecured loans constituted a violation of certain covenants of the
Companys $100,000 line of credit with a bank. Under the terms of the line of credit
agreement, this covenant violation is an event of default whereby the bank has certain
rights, including the right to require the Company to immediately repay the entire
outstanding loan balance, which was $81,250 at June 30, 2011.
