PART

Introduction
eMagin
Corporation (“eMagin, “we,” “our,” or “us,”) is a leader in OLED (organic light
emitting diode) technology. We design, develop, manufacture, and market OLED on
silicon microdisplays, virtual imaging products which utilize OLED
microdisplays, and related products. We also perform research in the OLED field.
Our virtual imaging products integrate OLED, technology with silicon chips to
produce high-resolution microdisplays smaller than one-inch diagonally which,
when viewed through a magnifier, create virtual images that appear comparable in
size to that of a computer monitor or a large-screen television. Our products
enable our original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) customers to develop and
market improved or new electronic products. We believe that virtual imaging will
become an important way for increasingly mobile people to have quick access to
high resolution data, work, and experience new more immersive forms of
communications and entertainment.
We
believe our OLED microdisplays offer a number of significant advantages over the
more widely used liquid crystal displays, including greatly increased power
efficiency, less weight, and wider viewing angles. Using our active matrix OLED
technology, many computer and electronic system functions can be built directly
into the OLED microdisplay, resulting in compact, high resolution, power
efficient systems. We have developed our own intellectual property and
accumulated over 6 years of manufacturing know-how to create high performance
OLED microdisplays.
As the
first to exploit OLED technology for microdisplays, and with the support of our
partners and the development of our intellectual property, we believe that we
enjoy a significant advantage in the commercialization of microdisplays for
virtual imaging. We believe we are currently the only company to sell active
matrix small molecule OLED-on-silicon microdisplays.
eMagin
Corporation was created through the merger of Fashion Dynamics Corporation
("FDC"), which was organized on January 23, 1996 under the laws of the State of
Nevada and FED Corporation ("FED"), a developer and manufacturer of optical
systems and microdisplays for use in the electronics industry. Simultaneous with
this merger, we changed our name to eMagin Corporation. eMagin is incorporated
in the state of Delaware.
We derive
the majority of our revenue from sales of our OLED microdisplay products. We
also generate revenue from sales of optics, microdisplays combined with optics
(“microviewers”), and virtual imaging systems (primarily our Z800 3DVisor ™). In
addition we earn revenue from non-recurring engineering (“NRE”) projects and
under government contracts that support some of our research and development
programs.
Using our
active matrix OLED technology, many computer and video electronic system
functions can be built directly into the OLED microdisplay, resulting in compact
systems with expected lower overall system costs relative to alternative
microdisplay technologies. Already proven in commercialized military and
commercial systems, our portfolio of OLED microdisplays deliver high-resolution,
flicker-free virtual images, working effectively even in extreme temperatures
and high-vibration conditions with greatly increased system level power
efficiency, less weight and wider viewing angles.
Our
Technology Platforms
Small
Molecule, Top-Emitting Active Matrix OLED Technology
There are
two basic classes of OLED technology, dubbed single molecule or small molecule
(monomer) and polymer. Our microdisplays are currently based upon active matrix
small molecule OLED technology, which we refer to as active matrix OLED
(“AMOLED”) because we build the displays directly on silicon chips. Our AMOLED
technology uniquely permits millions of individual low-voltage light sources to
be built on low-cost, silicon computer chips to produce single color, white
or full-color display arrays. AMOLED microdisplays offer a number of advantages
over current liquid crystal microdisplays, including lower power requirements,
less weight and wider viewing angles. Using our OLED technology, many computer
and video electronic system functions can be built directly into the silicon
chip, under the OLED film, resulting in very compact, integrated systems with
lowered overall system costs relative to alternative technologies.
OLEDs are
thin films of stable organic materials that emit light of various colors when a
voltage is impressed across them. OLEDs are emissive devices, which mean they
create their own light, as opposed to liquid crystal displays, which require a
separate light source. As a result, OLED devices use less power and can be
capable of higher brightness and fuller color than liquid crystal microdisplays.
Because the light they emit is Lambertian, which means that it appears equally
bright from most forward directions, a moderate movement in the eye does not
change the image brightness or color as it does in other
technologies.
We have
developed numerous and significant enhancements to OLED technology as well as
key silicon circuit designs to effectively incorporate the OLED film on a
silicon integrated circuit. For example, we have developed a unique,
top-emitting structure for our OLED devices that enables OLED displays to be
built on opaque silicon integrated circuits rather than only on glass. Our OLED
devices emit full visible spectrum light that is isolated with color filters to
create full color images. Our microdisplays have a brightness that can be
greater than that of a typical notebook computer and can have a potential useful
life of over 50,000 operating hours, in certain applications. New materials and
device improvements, such as our recently developed OLED-XL technology, offer
potential for even better performance for brightness, efficiency, and lifespan.
In addition to our active matrix OLED technology, we have developed compact
optic and lens enhancements which, when coupled with the microdisplay, provide
the high quality large screen appearance that we believe a large proportion of
the marketplace demands.
We
believe that our AMOLED technology provides significant advantages over other
microdisplay technologies in our targeted microdisplay markets. We believe these
key advantages include:
·
|
Low
power consumption for improved battery life and longer system
life;
|
·
|
High-speed
performance resulting in clear video
images;
|
·
|
Wide
angle light emission resulting in large apparent screen
size;
|
·
|
Wide
operating temperature range;
|
·
|
Good
environmental stability (vibration and
humidity).
|
·
|
Low
manufacturing cost; and
|
·
|
Low
cost system solutions.
|
Prism
Optics
High
quality, large view lenses with a wide range for eye positioning are essential
for using our displays in near-eye systems. We have developed advanced molded
plastic prism lenses which permit our AMOLED microdisplays to provide large
field of view images that can be viewed for extended periods with reduced
eye-fatigue. We have engaged a firm to manufacture our lenses in order to
provide them in larger quantities to our customers and are using them in our own
Z800 3DVisor personal display systems.
Our
Market Opportunities
The
growth potential of our selected target market segments have been investigated
using information gathered from key industry market research firms, including
DisplaySearch, Frost and Sullivan, Fuji-Chimera, McLaughlin Group, Nikkei, and
others. Such data was obtained using published reports and data obtained at
industry symposia. We have also relied substantially on market projections
obtained privately from industry leaders, industry analysts, and current and
potential customers.
Most
markets involve near-eye imaging applications for products such as viewfinders,
such as for digital cameras, or for head-wearable displays. These near-to-eye
viewing products have been recently characterized by the McLaughlin Consulting
Group as the Personal Viewer Market. The McLaughlin Group forecasts the total
Personal Viewer Market to reach as much as16.0 million units and $5.7 billion in
revenue by 2012.
Head-wearable
display products incorporate microdisplays mounted in or on eyeglasses, goggles,
simple headbands, helmets, or hardhats, and are often referred to as
head-mounted displays (HMDs) or headsets. Head-wearable displays may block out
surroundings for a fully immersive experience, or be designed as "see-through"
or "see-around" to the user's surroundings. They may contain one (monocular) or
two (binocular) displays. Some of the increased current interest is due to
accelerating the timetable to adapt such systems to military applications such
as night vision and fire and rescue applications. The virtual-imaging markets we
are targeting broadly fall into the categories of military, industrial/medical,
and consumer though many products serve multiple markets (“dual use”). Within
each of these market sectors, we believe that our OLED microdisplays, when
combined with compact optic lenses, will become a key component for a number of
mobile electronic products.
Military/First
Responder
Properly
implemented, we believe that head-mounted systems incorporating our
microdisplays increases effectiveness by allowing hands-free
operation and increasing situational awareness with enough brightness to be used
in daylight, yet controllable for nighttime light security. As a COTS
(commercial off the shelf) component, OLED microdisplays intrinsically
demonstrate performance characteristics important to military and other
demanding commercial and industrial applications, including high contrast, wide
dimming range, shock and vibration resistance and insensitivity to high
G-forces. The image does not suffer from flicker or color breakup in vibrating
environments, and the microdisplay's wide viewing angle allows ease of viewing
for long periods of time. Most importantly, our OLED's very low power
consumption reduces battery weight and increases allowed mission length. The
OLED's inherent wide temperature range is especially of interest for military
applications because the display can turn on instantly at temperatures far below
freezing and can operate at very high temperatures in desert conditions. Our
recently announced SXGA OLED-XL™ microdisplay provides power advantages over
other microdisplay technologies, particularly liquid crystal displays which
require backlights and heaters and cannot provide instant-on capabilities at low
temperatures.
Our
products’ military applications primarily fall into three broad areas: (1)
helmet-mounted displays for situational awareness and data, (2) night
vision/thermal imaging goggles and viewers, and (3) training and simulation
devices. Similar systems are of interest for other military applications as well
as for demanding operations such as urban security, homeland defense, fire and
rescue.
Situational
Awareness. Situational awareness products include head mounted displays
which are used to display mapping, logistics and status and handheld imagers for
border patrol and training. In certain situations these products are combined
with a weapon system in order to give the user the capability of selecting
targets without direct exposure. Our OLED microdisplays have already been
commercially implemented into a number of military situational awareness
programs including: US Army Land Warrior Program, U.S. Army Mounted Warrior
Program, US Army Remote Viewer Program, Felin Fantassin à Equipements et
Liaisons Intégrés Program (French Infantryman with Networked Equipment), and
Israeli Advanced Integrated Soldier System, among others.
Night
Vision/Thermal Imaging. Night Vision Goggles allow the user to see in low
light conditions. The most modern versions usually include two different
technologies: infrared/thermal, and image intensification. Third and fourth
generation military devices usually use some combination of the two modes.
Thermal imagers detect infrared energy (heat) and convert it into an electronic
signal. The resulting signal needs to be presented on a display. Heat sensed by
an infrared camera can be very precisely quantified, or measured, allowing the
user to not only monitor thermal performance, but also identify and evaluate the
relative severity of heat-related problems. Thermal imaging systems can be
stand-alone handheld systems or integrated as part of the aiming mechanism for a
larger system. Our OLED microdisplays are typically targeted to
uncooled systems, as opposed to systems that require external cooling in order
to increase their sensitivity. Advances in sensor technology, both in
sensitivity and resolution as well as economic efficiency, have been driving
factors in the adoption of thermal technologies for military applications. The
power efficiency and environmental ruggedness of our products are strong
competitive advantages, particularly in these small hand-held non-cooled
systems.
Training and
Simulation. Our OLED microdisplays and our Z800 3DVisor have been
acquired by OEMs for use with their simulation and training
products. The Z800’s capability to integrate 360 degree head tracking
and stereo vision, as well as its wide field of view are attractive attributes
for any simulation or virtual reality system. Examples of commercialized
training and simulation products include: Quantum 3D Expedition System, NVIS
Virtual Binocular SSV, and Virtually Better’s Virtual Iraq.
Military Market
Size. The McLaughlin Group reports that in 2012 sales of thermal weapons
sights are forecast to reach $525M and sales of enhanced night vision systems
are projected to reach $1.75B, propelled by both higher volumes and higher
prices for added capabilities of color, higher resolution, and digital
connectivity. Sales of helmet-mounted personal viewers for situational awareness
are forecast to reach $330M in 2012, with growth resulting from higher
definition and color displays, Our
displays have already been commercialized for situational awareness and night
vision/thermal imaging applications by military systems integrators including
Elbit, Insight Technologies, Intevac Vision Systems, Nivisys, Oasys Technology,
Qioptiq, Rockwell Collins, Saab, Sagem, and Thales, among many others. Night
Vision Equipment Corporation's HelmetIR-50™, a lightweight, military helmet
mounted thermal imager, which provides hands-free operation and allows viewers
to see through total darkness, battlefield obscurants, and even foliage, is the
first OLED-equipped product to be listed on the US Government's GSA
schedule. Similar systems are of interest for other military applications as
well as for related operations such as urban security, fire and
rescue.
Commercial,
Industrial, and Medical
We
believe that a wide variety of commercial and industrial markets offer
significant opportunities due to increasing demand for instant data
accessibility in mobile workplaces. Some examples of potential microdisplay
applications include: immediate access to inventory such as parts, tools and
equipment availability; instant accessibility to maintenance or construction
manuals; routine quality assurance inspection; endoscopic surgery; and real-time
viewing of images and data for a variety of applications. As one potential
example, a user wearing a HMD while using test equipment, such as oscilloscopes,
can view technical data while simultaneously probing printed circuit boards.
Current commercial products equipped with our OLED microdisplays in these
sectors include those produced by Liteye, FLIR Systems, NordicNeuroLab, VRmagic
GmbH, Sensics, and Total Fire Group, among others.
Consumer
We
believe that the most significant driver of the longer term near-eye virtual
imaging microdisplay market is growing consumer demand for mobile access to
larger volumes of information and entertainment in smaller packages. This desire
for mobility has resulted in the development of mobile video Personal Viewer
products in two general categories: (i) an established market for electronic
viewers incorporated in products such as viewfinders for digital cameras and
video cameras which may potentially also be developed as personal viewers for
cell phones and (ii) an emerging market for headset-application platforms which
include accessories for mobile devices, portable DVD systems, electronic games,
and other entertainment, and wearable computers.
As our
OLED displays are manufactured in increasingly higher volumes at reduced costs,
we believe that our OLED microdisplay products will be increasingly well
positioned to compete with and displace liquid crystal displays in the rapidly
growing consumer market as demand for higher-resolution, and better image
quality evolves to meet the wish for more sophisticated Personal Viewers.
Examples of potential applications for mobile Personal Viewers include handheld
personal computers and mobile devices (such as smartphones, iPods™), whose
small, direct view screens are often limitations, but which are now capable of
running software applications that would benefit from a larger display accessory
and entertainment and gaming video headset systems, which permit
individuals to privately view television, including HDTV, video CDs, DVDs and
video games on virtual large screens or stereovision.
Our
Products
Our
commercial microdisplay products based on our SVGA series OLED microdisplays,
first introduced in 2001, have received award recognition including: SID Display
of the Year and Electronic Products Magazine
Product of the Year. In 2008 we introduced engineering samples of our SXGA OLED
microdisplays. We are in the process of completing development of the SVGA 3DS
(SVGA 3D shrink, a smaller format SVGA display with a new cell architecture with
embedded features). In 2006 we introduced our OLED-XL technology, which provides
longer luminance half life and enhanced efficiency for all of our microdisplay
product lines. These OLED and OLED-XL products are being applied or considered
for near-eye and headset applications in products to be manufactured by OEM
customers for a wide variety of military, medical, industrial, and consumer
applications. We offer our products to OEMs and other buyers as both separate
components, integrated bundles coupled with our own optics, or full systems. We
also offer engineering support to enable customers to quickly integrate our
products into their own product development programs and offer design of
customized displays with resolutions or features to meet special customer
requirements.
SVGA+ OLED
Microdisplay Series (Super Video Graphics Array of 800x600 plus 52 added columns
of data). Our 0.62 inch diagonal SVGA+ OLED microdisplays have
a resolution of 852x600 triad pixels (1.53 million picture elements). The
product was dubbed "SVGA+" because it has 52 more display columns than a
standard SVGA display, permitting users to run either (1) standard SVGA (800 x
600 pixels) to interface to the analog output of many portable computers or (2)
852 x 480, using all the data available from a DVD player in a 16:9 wide screen
entertainment format. The display also has an internal NTSC monochrome video
decoder for low power night vision systems. SVGA+ Rev3 OLED-XL microdisplay, the
most power efficient OLED solution for near-eye personal viewer applications,
uses less than 115 mW power in monochrome, such as for thermal imaging
applications, and lower than 175 mW at 400 cd/m2 for full color video. This new
microdisplay has simpler calibration over temperature and is ideal for demanding
binocular luminance and color matching. It also shares all the functional and
design characteristics of eMagin's original SVGA OLEDs, responding instantly at
temperatures as low as -40 degrees C.
SVGA-3D OLED
Microdisplay (Super Video Graphics Array plus built-in stereovision
capability). Our 0.59 inch diagonal SVGA-3D OLED microdisplays
have a resolution of 800x600 triad pixels (1.44 million picture elements). A
built-in circuit provides compatibility with single channel frame sequential
stereoscopic vision without additional external components. The SVGA-3D OLED-XL
is primarily used as components of our Z800 3DVisor.
SXGA OLED-XL
(Super eXtended
Graphics Array, 1280 x 1024). Our
SXGA OLED microdisplay with 0.77 inch diagonal active area provides 3,932,160
sub-pixels in an active area that is only 26% larger than our SVGA+
microdisplay. The 1280 x 1024 triad pixel array comprises triads of vertical
sub-pixels stacked side by side to make up each 12 x 12mm color pixel. The SXGA
OLED-XL microdisplay offers both analog and digital signal processing, requiring
less than 200mW under typical operation. The new SXGA microdisplays provide
versatility and flexibility for OEM developers though a FPGA driver design
available on a separate, lower power driver board, or as source code for
integration into end product electronics for maximum power efficiency. The
supported video formats are SXGA, 720p, DVGA (through 1280 x 960 pixel doubling,
and both frame sequential and field sequential stereovision. Additional
enhancements include increased pixel uniformity, improved color gamut, on-chip
temperature sensor and compensation, and compatibility with both analog RGB and
digital video signals. On-board circuitry ensures consistent color and
brightness over a wide range of operating temperatures.
Lens and Design
Reference Kits.
We offer a WF05 prism optic, with mounting brackets or combined with OLED
microdisplays to form an optic-display module. We provide Design Reference Kits,
which include a microdisplay and associated electronics to help OEMs evaluate
our microdisplay products and to assist their efforts to build and test new
products incorporating our microdisplays.
Integrated
Modules. We provide near-eye virtual imaging modules that incorporate our
OLED-on-silicon microdisplays with our lenses and electronic interfaces for
integration into OEM products. We have shipped customized modules to several
customers, some of which have incorporated our products into their own
commercial products.
Z800
3DVisor™ Our Z800 3DVisors™ give
users the ability to work with their hands while simultaneously viewing
information or video on the display. The Z800 3DVisor enables more versatile
portable computing, using a 0.59-inch diagonal microdisplay (SVGA-3D capable of
delivering an image that appears comparable to that of a 19-inch monitor at 22
to 24 inches from the eye, or a 105 inch movie screen at 12 foot distance.) Our
systems are currently being used for personal entertainment, electronic gaming,
and military training and simulation, among other applications. This product has
received industry recognition including: Digital Living Class 2005 Innovators,
Consumer Electronics Association’s Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2006 Best of
Innovation Awards for the entire display category as well as a Design and
Innovations Award for the electronic gaming category, and, was recognized as one
of Advanced Imaging's Solutions of the Year, as integrated in Chatten
Associates’ head-aimed remote viewer. We sell the Z800 3DVisor to individual
buyers, OEM systems and equipment customers, through distributors, and
through our e-commerce website, www.3dvisor.com. The
contents of our e-commerce website are not part of this Report.
Government
Contract Funding
We derive
a portion of our revenue from funding that we receive pursuant to research
contracts or subcontracts funded by various agencies of the U.S. Government. The
revenue that we recognize from these contracts represents reimbursement by
various U.S. Government entities. Our recent contracts have been awarded for
development of power efficient microdisplay for US Army Night Vision,
development of ultra-high resolution display for US Army telemedicine, and
development of display technology for US Navy aircraft. Our government contracts
require us to conduct the research effort described in the statement of work
section of the contract. These contracts may be modified or terminated at the
discretion of the government and typically are subject to appropriation and
allocation of the required funding on an annual basis. On contracts for which we
are the prime contractor, we subcontract portions of the work to various
entities and institutions.
Our
Strategy
Our
strategy is to strengthen our leadership position as a worldwide supplier of
microdisplays and virtual imaging technology solutions for applications in high
growth segments of the electronics industry by capitalizing on our experience
and expertise in active matrix OLED technology. We aim to provide
microdisplay and complementary accessories to enable OEM customers to develop
and manufacture new and enhanced electronic products. Some key elements of our
strategy to achieve these objectives include the following:
·
|
Strengthen our technology
leadership. As the first to exploit AMOLED microdisplays, we
believe that we enjoy a significant advantage in bringing this technology
to market. By continuing to invest in research and development, and
protecting our intellectual property, we expect to further develop
performance improvements and provide a competitive edge for our customers
who integrate our displays into their end
products.
|
·
|
Optimize microdisplay
manufacturing efficiencies while protecting proprietary processes.
We intend to reduce our production costs primarily through increasing
manufacturing yield and lowering fixed costs through reduced cycle time
and increased automation, as well as equipment upgrades. We outsource certain
portions of microdisplay production, such as chip fabrication, to minimize
both our costs and time to market. We intend to retain the OLED-related
processes in-house, where we have a core competency and manufacturing
expertise. We also believe that by keeping these processes under tight
control we can better protect our proprietary technology and process
know-how. This strategy will also enhance our ability to continue to
optimize and customize processes and devices to meet customer
needs.
|
·
|
Build and maintain strong
design capabilities. We employ in-house design capabilities
supplemented by outsourced design services. Building and maintaining this
capability will allow us to reduce engineering costs, accelerate the
design process and enhance design accuracy to respond to our customers'
needs as new markets develop. In addition, we intend to maintain a product
design staff capable of rapidly developing prototype products for our
customers and strategic partners. Contracting third party design support
to meet demand and for specialized design skills will also remain a part
of our overall long term strategy.
|
·
|
Leverage strategic
relationships. External relationships play an important role in our
research and development efforts. Suppliers, equipment vendors, government
organizations, contract research groups, external design companies,
customer and corporate partners, consortia, and university relationships
all enhance the overall research and development effort and bring us new
ideas and solutions. In addition, we participate in industry associations
such as Society Information Display, FlexTech Alliance (formerly known as
United States Display Consortium), OLED Association, Consumer Electronics
Association, and the Association of the United States Army, among others.
Furthermore, we have established a CRADA (Cooperative Research and
Development Agreement) with the US Army/RDECOM/NVESD for the purpose of
evaluating and characterizing new and existing AMOLED microdisplay
configurations. We believe that strategic relationships allow us to better
determine the demands of the marketplace and, as a result, allow
us to focus our future research and development activities to satisfy
our customers’ evolving
requirements.

Sales
and Marketing
We
primarily provide our OLED display and optics components for OEMs to incorporate
into their branded products and sell through their own well-established
distribution channels. We have traditionally marketed and sold our products to
customers through targeted selling, promotions, select advertising and
attendance at trade shows. We identify companies with end products and
applications for which we believe our products will provide a key
differentiator. Marketing efforts focus on identifying prospects and
communicating the product performance attributes foremost in the minds of
purchasing decision-makers. This approach is intended to ensure the highest
possible return on investment for our marketing expense.
We market
our products in North America, Asia, and Europe directly from our sales office
located in our Bellevue, Washington facility. We also have a local sales
representative in Japan. We market our Z800 3DVisor through select value-added
resellers and on-line through Amazon and our e-commerce site, www.3dvisor.com. We
intend to continue to expand our global sales, marketing and distribution
capabilities.
An OEM
design cycle typically requires between 6 and 36 months, depending on the
uniqueness of the market, the complexity of the end product, or in the case of
military OEM customers, government procurement schedules. Because our
microdisplays are the main functional component that defines many of our
customers' end products, we work closely with customers to provide technical
assistance throughout the product evaluation and integration
process.
Customers
Customers
for our products include both large multinational and smaller OEMs. We maintain
relationships with OEMs in a diverse range of industries encompassing the
military, industrial, medical, and consumer market sectors. During 2008, 61% of
our net revenue was to firms based in the United States and 39% was to
international firms as compared to 51% domestic revenue and 49% international
revenue during 2007. In 2008, we had 10 customers that accounted for
more than 63% of our total revenue as compared to 10 customers that accounted
for more than 54% of our total revenue in 2007. In 2008, we had 2
customers that accounted for more than 10% of our total revenue as compared to
2007 when we did not have any customers that accounted for more than 10% of our
total revenue.
Backlog
As of
February 28, 2009, we had a backlog of approximately $7.4 million for purchases
through December 2009. This backlog primarily consists of non-binding purchase
orders and purchase agreements but does not include expected revenue from
R&D contracts or expected NRE (non-recurring engineering) programs under
development.
The
majority of our backlog consists of non-binding purchase orders or purchase
agreements for delivery over the next six months. Most purchase orders are
subject to rescheduling or cancellation by the customer with no or limited
penalties. We believe that the backlog metric is of limited utility
in predicting future sales because many of our OEM customers operate on a
ship-to-order basis. Variations in the magnitude and duration of purchase orders
and customer delivery requirements may result in substantial fluctuations in
backlog from period to period.
Manufacturing
Facilities
We are
located at IBM's Microelectronics Division facility, known as the Hudson Valley
Research Park, located about 70 miles north of New York City in Hopewell
Junction, New York. We lease approximately 33,000 square feet of space which
houses our own equipment for OLED microdisplay fabrication and research and
development, includes a 16,300 square foot class 10 clean room space, additional
lower level clean room space, assembly space and administrative
offices.
Facilities
services provided by IBM include our clean room, pure gases, high purity
de-ionized water, compressed air, chilled water systems, and waste disposal
support. This infrastructure provided by our lease with IBM provides us with
many of the resources of a larger corporation without the added overhead costs.
It further allows us to focus our resources more efficiently on our product
development and manufacturing goals.
We also
lease a facility in Bellevue, Washington where we operate our Z800 3DVisor
operations, finance function and business development activities. The facilities
are well suited for designing and building limited volume prototypes and small
quantity industrial or government products.
We
believe manufacturing efficiency is an important factor for success, especially
in the consumer markets. We currently have the equipment needed for profitable
production in place. We plan to add equipment to increase capacity and yield
over the next two years to meet expected demand for our
microdisplays.
Competition
The
industry in which we operate is highly competitive. We face competition from
legacy technologies such as cathode ray tubes (CRTs), liquid crystal on silicon
microdisplays (LCOS), and transmissive liquid crystal displays
(LCDs) as well as from alternative flat panel display
technologies such as field emission and virtual scanning retinal displays.
There are many large and small companies that manufacture or have in development
products based on these technologies.
Currently,
in the high resolution microdisplay market, we face competition from liquid
crystal microdisplay manufacturers, such as those sold by Kopin. We are not
aware of any current manufacturers of high resolution OLED microdisplays that
compete with our microdisplay products.
In the
future, we believe that our key competition will come from LCOS and small
transmissive LCDs. While we believe that OLED technology has the capability to
provide higher quality images, greater environmental ruggedness,
reduced electronics cost and complexity, and improved power efficiency
advantages over either type of liquid crystal based microdisplays, there is no
assurance that these benefits will be fully realized or that liquid crystal
manufacturers will not suitably improve these parameters to reduce these
potential advantages of OLEDs.
To our
knowledge, the only other companies that have publicly stated plans to
commercially develop OLED microdisplays for near-eye applications are
MicroEmissive Displays (MED) in Britain and MicroOLED in France. Though MED
had raised substantial funds and created a new production facility, the company
ceased business operations in 2008. We may also compete with potential licensees
of Universal Display Corporation, Eastman Kodak, or Cambridge Display
Technology, among others, each of which potentially can license OLED technology
portfolios. If other new OLED-based companies enter our markets
with directly relevant display designs and without manufacturing and
reliability issues, we will face competition, though we believe that our
progress to date in this area gives us a substantial head start.
Intellectual
Property
We
believe we have developed a substantial intellectual property portfolio of
patents, trade secrets and manufacturing know-how. It is important to protect
our investment in technology by obtaining and enforcing intellectual property
rights, including rights under patent, trademark, trade secret and copyright
laws. We seek to protect inventions we consider significant by applying for
patents in the United States and other countries when appropriate.
Our
intellectual property covers a wide range of materials, device structures,
processes, and fabrication techniques, primarily concentrated in the following
areas:
·
|
OLED
Materials, Structures, and
Processes;
|
·
|
Display
Color Processing and Sealing;
|
·
|
Active
Matrix Circuit Methodologies and
Designs;
|
·
|
Lenses
and Tracking (Eye and Head);
|
·
|
Ergonomics
and Industrial Design;
|
·
|
Wearable
Computer Interface Methodology; and
|
·
|
Legacy
Field Emission and General Display
Technologies.
|
We
believe that, in addition to patent protection, our success is dependent upon
non-patentable trade secrets and technical expertise. To protect this
information and know-how from unauthorized use or disclosure, we use
nondisclosure agreements and other measures to protect our proprietary rights,
and we require all employees, and where appropriate, contractors, consultants,
advisors and collaborators to enter into confidentiality and non-competition
agreements. We believe that our intellectual property portfolio, coupled with
our strategic relationships and accumulated manufacturing know-how in OLED,
gives us a significant advantage over potential competitors.
Employees
As of
February 28, 2009, we had a total of 59 full time and part time staff. None of
our employees are represented by a labor union. We have not experienced any work
stoppages and consider our relations with our employees to be good.

ITEM
1A. RISK FACTORS
RISKS
RELATED TO OUR FINANCIAL RESULTS
We have a history of losses since
our inception and may incur losses in the future.
Our
accumulated losses are $201 million as of December 31, 2008. We have
not yet achieved profitability on a full year basis. We have had two profitable
quarters in 2008. We can give no assurances that we will continue to be
profitable in the future. We cannot assure investors that we will sustain
profitability or that we will not incur operating losses in the
future.
We
may not be able to execute our business plan due to a lack of cash from
operations.
Historically,
we have not produced positive cash flows from operations. However, we have
generated positive cash flows the past 3 quarters. We anticipate that our cash
from operations will be sufficient to meet our requirements over the next twelve
months. In the event that cash flow from operations is less than
anticipated and we are unable to secure additional funding to cover our
expenses, in order to preserve cash, we may have to reduce expenditures and
effect reductions in our corporate infrastructure, either of which could have a
material adverse effect on our ability to continue our current level of
operations. No assurance can be given that if additional financing is necessary,
that it will be available, or if available, will be on acceptable
terms.
We
may be subject to fines, sanctions, and/or penalties of an indeterminable nature
as a result of potential violations of federal securities laws.
In July
2006, we entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with Stillwater LLC, which
provided for the purchase and sale of a 6% senior secured convertible note in
principal amount of up to $500,000 (the “Stillwater Note”) and a warrant to
purchase 70% of the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Stillwater
Note, at our sole discretion by delivery of a notice to Stillwater on December
14, 2006. We then filed a registration statement on Form S-3 to
register the resale by Stillwater of up to 41,088,445 shares of our common
stock. In July 2007, we amended the agreements with
Stillwater. Amending the Stillwater agreements without first
withdrawing the Registration Statement on Form S-3 may be inconsistent with
Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and we may be subject to
fines, sanctions and/or penalties of an indeterminable nature as a result of
potential violations of federal securities laws. If we are assessed
fines and penalties our business will be materially affected.
The
issuance of shares of common stock in connection with the conversion of the
Notes may have not have been in compliance with certain state and federal
securities laws and any damages that we may have to pay as a result of such
issuance could have a material adverse effect on our revenues, profits, results
of operations, financial condition and future prospects.
Our
operating results have significant fluctuations.
In
addition to the variability resulting from the short-term nature of commitments
from our customers, other factors contribute to significant periodic quarterly
fluctuations in results of operations. These factors include, but are not
limited to, the following:
·
|
the
receipt and timing of orders and the timing of delivery of
orders;
|
·
|
the
inability to adjust expense levels or delays in adjusting expense levels,
in either case in response to lower than expected revenues or gross
margins;
|
·
|
the
volume of orders relative to our manufacturing
capacity;
|
·
|
product
introductions and market acceptance of new products or new generations of
products;
|
·
|
changes
in cost and availability of labor and
components;
|
·
|
variation
in operating expenses; regulatory requirements, foreign currency
fluctuations and changes in duties and
tariffs;
|
·
|
pricing
and availability of competitive products and services;
and
|
·
|
changes,
whether or not anticipated, in economic
conditions.
|
Accordingly,
the results of any past periods should not be relied upon as an indication of
our future performance.
RISKS
RELATED TO MANUFACTURING
The manufacture of active matrix OLED microdisplays is
new and could result in manufacturing issues or delays.
Ours is
an evolving technology and we are pioneers in this active matrix OLED
microdisplay manufacturing technique. We cannot assure you that we will be able
to produce our products in sufficient quantity and quality to maintain existing
customers and attract new customers. In addition, we cannot assure you that we
will not experience manufacturing problems which could result in delays in
delivery of orders or product introductions.
We
are dependent on a single manufacturing line.
We
currently manufacture our products on a single manufacturing line. If we
experience any significant disruption in the operation of our manufacturing
facility or a serious failure of a critical piece of equipment, we may be unable
to supply microdisplays to our customers. For this reason, some OEMs may also be
reluctant to commit a broad line of products to our microdisplays without a
second production facility in place. However, we try to maintain product
inventory to fill the requirements under such circumstances. Interruptions in
our manufacturing could be caused by manufacturing equipment problems, the
introduction of new equipment into the manufacturing process or delays in the
delivery of new manufacturing equipment. Lead-time for delivery of manufacturing
equipment can be extensive. No assurance can be given that we will not lose
potential sales or be unable to meet production orders due to production
interruptions in our manufacturing line. In order to meet the requirements of
certain OEMs for multiple manufacturing sites, we will have to expend capital to
secure additional sites and may not be able to manage multiple sites
successfully.
We
rely on key sole source and limited source suppliers.
We depend
on a number of sole source or limited source suppliers for certain raw
materials, components, and services. These include circuit boards, graphic
integrated circuits, passive components, materials and chemicals, and equipment
support. We maintain several single-source supplier relationships,
either because alternative sources are not available or because the relationship
is advantageous due to performance, quality, support, delivery, capacity, or
price considerations. Even where alternative sources of supply are available,
qualification of the alternative suppliers and establishment of reliable
supplies could result in delays and a possible loss of sales, which could be
detrimental to operating results. We do not manufacture the
silicon integrated circuits on which we incorporate our OLED technology.
Instead, we provide the design layouts to a sole semiconductor contract
manufacturer who manufactures the integrated circuits on silicon wafers. Our
inability to obtain sufficient quantities of components and other materials or
services on a timely basis could result in manufacturing delays, increased costs
and ultimately in reduced or delayed sales or lost orders which could materially
and adversely affect our operating results.
Our
results of operations, financial condition, and business would be harmed if we
were unable to balance customer demand and capacity.
As
customer demand for our products, particularly new products, changes we must be
able to ramp up or adjust our production capacity to meet demand. We are
continually taking steps to address our manufacturing capacity needs for our
products. If we are not able to increase our capacity or if we increase our
capacity too quickly, our business and results of operations could be adversely
impacted. If we experience delays or unforeseen costs associated with adjusting
our capacity levels, we may not be able to achieve our financial targets. For
some of our products, vendor lead times exceed our customers’ required delivery
time causing us to order to forecast rather than order based on actual demand.
Ordering raw material and building finished goods based on forecasts exposes us
to numerous risks including potential inability to service customer demand in an
acceptable timeframe, holding excess inventory or having unabsorbed
manufacturing overhead.
Variations
in our production yields impact our ability to reduce costs and could cause our
margins to decline and our operating results to suffer.
All of
our products are manufactured using technologies that are highly complex. The
number of usable items, or yield, from our production processes may fluctuate as
a result of many factors, including but not limited to the
following:
·
|
variability
in our process repeatability and
control;
|
·
|
contamination
of the manufacturing environment or
equipment;
|
·
|
equipment
failure, power outages, or variations in the manufacturing
process;
|
·
|
lack
of consistency and adequate quality and quantity of piece parts and other
raw materials;
|
·
|
defects
in packaging either within or without our
control; and
|
·
|
any
transitions or changes in our production process, planned or
unplanned.
|
We
could experience manufacturing interruptions, delays, or inefficiencies if we
are unable to timely and reliably procure components from single-sourced
suppliers.
We
maintain several single-source supplier relationships, either because
alternative sources are not available or because the relationship is
advantageous due to performance, quality, support, delivery, capacity, or price
considerations. If the supply of a critical single-source material or
component is delayed or curtailed, we may not be able to ship the related
product in desired quantities and in a timely manner. Even where
alternative sources of supply are available, qualification of the alternative
suppliers and establishment of reliable supplies could result in delays and a
possible loss of sales, which could harm operating results.
RISKS
RELATED TO OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
We have
a license agreement with Eastman Kodak regarding the manufacture of
OLED microdisplays.
We rely
upon Eastman Kodak to protect and enforce key patents held by Eastman Kodak,
relating to OLED display technology that we have licensed. Some of Eastman
Kodak's key patents have expired and other expire at various times in the
future. Our license with Eastman Kodak could terminate if we fail to perform any
material term or covenant under the license agreement. Since our license from
Eastman Kodak is non-exclusive, Eastman Kodak could also elect to become a
competitor itself or to license OLED technology for microdisplay applications to
others who have the potential to compete with us. The occurrence of any of these
events could have a material adverse impact on our business.
We may not be
successful in protecting our intellectual property and proprietary
rights.
We rely
on a combination of patents, trade secret protection, licensing agreements and
other arrangements to establish and protect our proprietary technologies. If we
fail to successfully enforce our intellectual property rights, our competitive
position could suffer, which could harm our operating results. Patents may not
be issued for our current patent applications, third parties may challenge,
invalidate or circumvent any patent issued to us, unauthorized parties could
obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary despite our efforts to
protect our proprietary rights, rights granted under patents issued to us may
not afford us any competitive advantage, others may independently develop
similar technology or design around our patents, our technology may be available
to licensees of Eastman Kodak, and protection of our intellectual property
rights may be limited in certain foreign countries. On April 30, 2007, the
U.S. Supreme Court, in KSR
International Co. vs. Teleflex, Inc., mandated a more expansive and
flexible approach towards a determination as to whether a patent is obvious and
invalid, which may make it more difficult for patent holders to secure or
maintain existing patents. Any future infringement or other claims or
prosecutions related to our intellectual property could have a material adverse
effect on our business. Any such claims, with or without merit, could be time
consuming to defend, result in costly litigation, divert management's attention
and resources, or require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements. Such
royalty or licensing agreements, if required, may not be available on terms
acceptable to us, if at all. Protection of intellectual property has
historically been a large yearly expense for eMagin. We have not been in a
financial position to properly protect all of our intellectual property, and may
not be in a position to properly protect our position or stay ahead of
competition in new research and the protecting of the resulting intellectual
property.
In
addition to patent protection, we also rely on trade secrets and other
non-patented proprietary information relating to our product development and
manufacturing activities. We try to protect this information through appropriate
efforts to maintain its secrecy, including requiring employees and third parties
to sign confidentiality agreements. We cannot be sure that these efforts will be
successful or that the confidentiality agreements will not be breached. We also
cannot be sure that we would have adequate remedies for any breach of such
agreements or other misappropriation of our trade secrets or that our trade
secrets and proprietary know-how will not otherwise become known or be
independently discovered by others.
RISKS
RELATED TO THE MICRODISPLAY INDUSTRY
The
commercial success of the microdisplay industry depends on the widespread market
acceptance of microdisplay systems products.
The
market for microdisplays is emerging. Our success will depend on consumer
acceptance of microdisplays as well as the success of the commercialization of
the microdisplay market. As an OEM supplier, our customer's products must also
be well accepted. At present, it is difficult to assess or predict with any
assurance the potential size, timing and viability of market opportunities for
our technology in this market.
The
microdisplay systems business is intensely competitive.
We do
business in intensely competitive markets that are characterized by rapid
technological change, changes in market requirements and competition from both
other suppliers and our potential OEM customers. Such markets are typically
characterized by price erosion. This intense competition could result in pricing
pressures, lower sales, reduced margins, and lower market share. Our ability to
compete successfully will depend on a number of factors, both within and outside
our control. We expect these factors to include the following:
·
|
our
success in designing, manufacturing and delivering expected new products,
including those implementing new technologies on a timely
basis;
|
·
|
our
ability to address the needs of our customers and the quality of our
customer services;
|
·
|
the
quality, performance, reliability, features, ease of use and pricing of
our products;
|
·
|
successful
expansion of our manufacturing
capabilities;
|
·
|
our
efficiency of production, and ability to manufacture and ship products on
time;
|
·
|
the
rate at which original equipment manufacturing customers incorporate our
product solutions into their own
products;
|
·
|
the
market acceptance of our customers' products; and
|
·
|
product
or technology introductions by our
competitors.
|
Our
competitive position could be damaged if one or more potential OEM customers
decide to manufacture their own microdisplays, using OLED or alternate
technologies. In addition, our customers may be reluctant to rely on a
relatively small company such as eMagin for a critical component. We cannot
assure you that we will be able to compete successfully against current and
future competition, and the failure to do so would have a materially adverse
effect upon our business, operating results and financial
condition.
The display industry may be
cyclical.
Our
business strategy is dependent on OEM manufacturers building and selling
products that incorporate our OLED displays as components into those products.
Industry-wide fluctuations could cause significant harm to our business. The
OLED microdisplay sector may experience overcapacity, if and when all of the
facilities presently in the planning stage come on line, leading to a difficult
market in which to sell our products.
Our
competitors have many advantages over us.
As the
microdisplay market develops, we expect to experience intense competition from
numerous domestic and foreign companies including well-established corporations
possessing worldwide manufacturing and production facilities, greater name
recognition, larger retail bases and significantly greater financial, technical,
and marketing resources than us, as well as from emerging companies attempting
to obtain a share of the various markets in which our microdisplay products have
the potential to compete. We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete
successfully against current and future competition, and the failure to do so
would have a materially adverse effect upon our business, operating results and
financial condition.
Our
products are subject to lengthy OEM development periods.
We sell
most of our microdisplays to OEMs who will incorporate them into products they
sell. OEMs determine during their product development phase whether they will
incorporate our products. The time elapsed between initial sampling of our
products by OEMs, the custom design of our products to meet specific OEM product
requirements, and the ultimate incorporation of our products into OEM consumer
products is significant often with a duration of between one and three years. If
our products fail to meet our OEM customers' cost, performance or technical
requirements or if unexpected technical challenges arise in the integration of
our products into OEM consumer products, our operating results could be
significantly and adversely affected. Long delays in achieving customer
qualification and incorporation of our products could adversely affect our
business.
Our
products will likely experience rapidly declining unit prices.
In the
markets in which we expect to compete, prices of established products tend to
decline significantly over time. In order to maintain our profit margins over
the long term, we believe that we will need to continuously develop product
enhancements and new technologies that will either slow price declines of our
products or reduce the cost of producing and delivering our products. While we
anticipate many opportunities to reduce production costs over time, there can be
no assurance that these cost reduction plans will be successful, that we will
have the resources to fund the expenditures necessary to implement certain
cost-saving measures, or that our costs can be reduced as quickly as any
reduction in unit prices. We may also attempt to offset the anticipated decrease
in our average selling price by introducing new products, increasing our sales
volumes or adjusting our product mix. If we fail to do so, our results of
operations would be materially and adversely affected.
RISKS
RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS
Our
success depends on attracting and retaining highly skilled and qualified
technical and consulting personnel.
We must
hire highly skilled technical personnel as employees and as independent
contractors in order to develop our products. The competition for skilled
technical employees is intense and we may not be able to retain or recruit such
personnel. We must compete with companies that possess greater financial and
other resources than we do, and that may be more attractive to potential
employees and contractors. To be competitive, we may have to increase the
compensation, bonuses, stock options and other fringe benefits offered to
employees in order to attract and retain such personnel. The costs of attracting
and retaining new personnel may have a materially adverse affect on our business
and our operating results.
Our
success depends in a large part on the continuing service of key
personnel.
Changes
in management could have an adverse effect on our business. We are dependent
upon the active participation of several key management personnel and will also
need to recruit additional management in order to expand according to our
business plan. The failure to attract and retain additional management or
personnel could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and
financial performance.
The
ineffectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting could result in
a loss of investor confidence in our financial reports and have an adverse
effect on our stock price.
Pursuant
to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Section 404”), and the rules
and regulations promulgated by the SEC to implement Section 404, we included in
our Form 10-K an annual report by our management regarding the effectiveness of
our internal control over financial reporting. The report includes,
among other things, an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control
over financial reporting as of the end of our fiscal year. Our
assessment is that although we have made substantial improvements in our
internal control over financial management, we continue to have material
weaknesses. Management will continue to make improvements in this
regard.
As of
December 31, 2008, even though we made substantial improvement, our internal
control over financial reporting was ineffective due to the presence of material
weaknesses, as more fully described in Item 9A of this Form
10-K. This could result in a loss of investor confidence in the
accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which may have an adverse
effect on our stock price.
Our
operating results are substantially dependent on the development and acceptance
of new products and technology innovations.
Our
future success may depend on our ability to develop new and lower cost solutions
for existing and new markets and for customers to accept those solutions. We
must introduce new products in a timely and cost-efficient manner, and we must
secure production orders for those products from our customers. The development
of new products is a highly complex process, and we historically have
experienced delays in completing the development and introduction of new
products. Some or all of those technologies or products may not successfully
make the transition from the research and development lab. Even when we
successfully complete a research and development effort with respect to a
particular product or technology, it may fail to gain market
acceptance. The successful development and introduction of these
products depends on a number of factors, including the
following
·
|
achievement
of technology breakthroughs required to make commercially viable
devices;
|
·
|
the
accuracy of our predictions of market
requirements;
|
·
|
acceptance
of our new product designs;
|
·
|
acceptance
of new technology in certain
markets;
|
·
|
the
availability of qualified research and development and product development
personnel;
|
·
|
our
timely completion of product designs and
development;
|
·
|
our
ability and available resources to expand
sales;
|
·
|
our
ability to develop repeatable processes to manufacture new products in
sufficient quantities and at low enough costs for commercial
sales;
|
·
|
our
customers’ ability to develop competitive products incorporating our
products; and
|
·
|
acceptance
of our customers’ products by the
market.
|
If any of
these or other factors become problematic, we may not be able to develop and
introduce these new products in a timely or cost-effective manner.
If
government agencies discontinue or curtail their funding for our research and
development programs our business may suffer.
Changes
in federal budget priorities could adversely affect our contract revenue.
Historically, government agencies have funded a significant part of our research
and development activities. When the government changes budget priorities, such
as in time of war or for other reasons, our funding has the risk of being
redirected to other programs. Government contracts are also subject to the risk
that the government agency may not appropriate and allocate all funding
contemplated by the contract. In addition our government contracts generally
permit the contracting authority to terminate the contract for the convenience
of the government. The full value of the contracts would not be realized if they
were prematurely terminated. We may be unable to incur sufficient allowable
costs to generate the full estimated contract values. Furthermore, the research
and development and product procurement contracts of the customers we supply may
be similarly impacted. If the government funding is discontinued or reduced, our
ability to develop or enhance products could be limited and our business results
or operations and financial conditions could be adversely affected.
Our
business depends on new products and technologies.
The
market for our products is characterized by rapid changes in product, design and
manufacturing process technologies. Our success depends to a large extent on our
ability to develop and manufacture new products and technologies to match the
varying requirements of different customers in order to establish a competitive
position and become profitable. Furthermore, we must adopt our products and
processes to technological changes and emerging industry standards and practices
on a cost-effective and timely basis. Our failure to accomplish any of the above
could harm our business and operating results.
We
generally do not have long-term contracts with our customers.
Our
business has primarily operated on the basis of short-term purchase
orders. We receive some longer term purchase agreements, and
procurement contracts, but we cannot guarantee that we will continue to do so.
Our current purchase agreements can be cancelled or revised without penalty,
depending on the circumstances. We plan production primarily on the basis of
internally generated forecasts of demand based on communications with customers,
and available industry data which makes it difficult to accurately forecast
revenues. If we fail to accurately forecast operating results, our business may
suffer and the value of your investment in eMagin may decline.
Our
business strategy may fail if we cannot continue to form strategic relationships
with companies that manufacture and use products that could incorporate our
active matrix OLED technology.
Our
prospects could be significantly affected by our ability to develop strategic
alliances with OEMs for incorporation of our active matrix OLED microdisplay
technology into their products. While we intend to continue to establish
strategic relationships with manufacturers of electronic consumer products,
personal computers, chipmakers, lens makers, equipment makers, material
suppliers and/or systems assemblers, there is no assurance that we will be able
to continue to establish and maintain strategic relationships on commercially
acceptable terms, or that the alliances we do enter in to will realize their
objectives. Failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our
business.
Our
business depends to some extent on international transactions.
We
purchase needed materials from companies located abroad and may be adversely
affected by political and currency risk, as well as the additional costs of
doing business with foreign entities. Some customers in other countries have
longer receivable periods or warranty periods. In addition, many of the foreign
OEMs that are the most likely long-term purchasers of our microdisplays expose
us to additional political and currency risk. We may find it necessary to locate
manufacturing facilities abroad to be closer to our customers which could expose
us to various risks, including management of a multi-national organization, the
complexities of complying with foreign laws and customs, political instability
and the complexities of taxation in multiple jurisdictions.
Our
business may expose us to product liability claims.
Our
business may expose us to potential product liability claims. Although no such
claims have been brought against us to date, and to our knowledge no such claim
is threatened or likely, we may face liability to product users for damages
resulting from the faulty design or manufacture of our products. While we plan
to maintain product liability insurance coverage, there can be no assurance that
product liability claims will not exceed coverage limits, fall outside the scope
of such coverage, or that such insurance will continue to be available at
commercially reasonable rates, if at all.
Our
business is subject to environmental regulations and possible liability arising
from potential employee claims of exposure to harmful substances used in the
development and manufacture of our products.
We are
subject to various governmental regulations related to toxic, volatile,
experimental and other hazardous chemicals used in our design and manufacturing
process. Our failure to comply with these regulations could result in the
imposition of fines or in the suspension or cessation of our operations.
Compliance with these regulations could require us to acquire costly equipment
or to incur other significant expenses. We develop, evaluate and utilize new
chemical compounds in the manufacture of our products. While we attempt to
ensure that our employees are protected from exposure to hazardous materials, we
cannot assure you that potentially harmful exposure will not occur or that we
will not be liable to employees as a result.
Current
adverse economic conditions may adversely impact our business, operating results
and financial condition.
The
current economic conditions and market instability may affect our customers and
suppliers. Any adverse financial or economic impact to our customers
may impact their ability to pay timely, or result in their inability to
pay. It may also impact their ability to fund future purchases, or
increase the sales cycles which could lead to a reduction in revenue and
accounts receivable. Our suppliers may increase their prices or may
be unable to supply needed raw materials on a timely basis which could result in
our inability to meet customers’ demand or affect our gross
margins. Our suppliers may, also, impose more stringent payment terms
on us. The timing and nature of any recovery in the credit and
financial markets remains uncertain, and there can be no assurance that market
conditions will improve in the near future or that our results will not be
materially and adversely affected.
Leases
for our manufacturing plant and our headquarters will terminate in
2009.
As
of the filing date of this Report, we have not yet renewed these leases. Our
manufacturing plant’s lease expires May 31, 2009 and we are in negotiations to
extend our lease. Our headquarters’ lease expires August 31,
2009 and we are presently reviewing suitable space. If we are unable to renew
these leases or find suitable alternatives under acceptable terms, it could
adversely impact our ability to execute our business.
RISKS
RELATED TO OUR STOCK
The
substantial number of shares that are or will be eligible for sale could cause
our common stock price to decline even if eMagin is successful.
Sales of
significant amounts of common stock in the public market, or the perception that
such sales may occur, could materially affect the market price of our common
stock. These sales might also make it more difficult for us to sell equity or
equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem
appropriate. As of February 28, 2009, we have outstanding common shares of
15,921,113 plus (i) options to purchase 1,615,673 shares, (ii) warrants to
purchase 12,279,239 shares and (iii) convertible preferred stock to purchase
7,652,000 shares of common stock.
We
have a staggered board of directors and other anti-takeover provisions, which
could inhibit potential investors or delay or prevent a change of control that
may favor you.
Our Board
of Directors is divided into three classes and our Board members are elected for
terms that are staggered. This could discourage the efforts by others to obtain
control of eMagin. Some of the provisions of our certificate of incorporation,
our bylaws and Delaware law could, together or separately, discourage potential
acquisition proposals or delay or prevent a change in control. In particular,
our board of directors is authorized to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of
preferred stock (less any outstanding shares of preferred stock) with rights and
privileges that might be senior to our common stock, without the consent of the
holders of the common stock.
Changes
in internal controls or accounting guidance could cause volatility in our stock
price.
Guidance
regarding implementation and interpretation of the provisions of
Section 404 continues to be issued by the standards-setting community. As a
result of the ongoing interpretation of new guidance and the audit testing to be
completed in the future, our internal controls over financial reporting may
include an unidentified material weakness which would result in receiving an
adverse opinion on our internal controls over financial reporting from our
independent registered public accounting firm. This could result in significant
additional expenditures responding to the Section 404 internal control
audit, heightened regulatory scrutiny and potentially an adverse effect to the
price of our stock.
In
addition, due to increased regulatory scrutiny surrounding publicly traded
companies, the possibility exists that a restatement of past financial results
could be necessitated by an alternative interpretation of present accounting
guidance and practice. Although management does not currently anticipate that
this will occur, a potential result of such interpretation could be an adverse
effect on our stock price.
The
market price of our common stock may be volatile.
The
market price of our common stock has been subject to wide fluctuations. During
our four most recently completed fiscal quarters, the closing price of our stock
ranged from $0.34 to $1.35 and decreased to a low of $0.34 on December 1, 2008.
The market price of our common stock in the future is likely to continue to be
subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, including, but not
limited to, the following:
·
|
variations
in our operating results and financial
conditions;
|
·
|
actual
or anticipated announcements of technical innovations, new product
developments, or design wins by us or our
competitors;
|
·
|
general
conditions in the semiconductor and flat panel display industries;
and
|
·
|
worldwide
economic and financial conditions.
|
In
addition, the public stock markets have experienced extreme price and volume
fluctuations that have particularly affected the market price for many
technology companies and that have often been unrelated to the operating
performance of these companies. The broad market fluctuations and other factors
may continue to adversely affect the market price of our common
stock.

2. PROPERTIES
Our
corporate offices are located in Bellevue, Washington. Our Washington
location includes administrative, finance, operations, research and development
and sales and marketing functions and consists of leased space of approximately
19,000 square feet. The lease expires in 2009. Our
manufacturing facility is located in Hopewell Junction, New York, where we lease
approximately 33,000 square feet from IBM. The NY facility houses our
equipment for OLED microdisplay fabrication, assembly operations, research and
development, and administrative functions. The lease expires in
2009. We believe our facilities are adequate for our current and
near-term needs. We believe we will be able to renew these leases or obtain
alternative spaces under acceptable terms. See Note 12 to our Consolidated
Financial Statement for more information about our lease
commitments.

3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
A former
employee (“plaintiff”) of the Company commenced legal action in the United
States District Court for the Southern District of New York, on or about October
12, 2007, alleging that the plaintiff was subject to gender based discrimination
and retaliation in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Case No. 07-CV-8827
(KMK). The plaintiff seeks unspecified compensatory damages,
punitive damages and attorneys’ fees. On November 26, 2007, the
Company served and filed its Answer, in which it denied the material allegations
of the Complaint and asserted numerous affirmative defenses. This
action is presently in the discovery stage. The Company disputes the
allegations of the Complaint and intends on vigorously defending this
action.
On
December 6, 2005, New York State Urban Development Corporation commenced action
against eMagin in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York
against eMagin, asserting breach of contract and seeking to recover a $150,000
grant which was made to eMagin based on goals set forth in the agreement for
recruitment of employees. On July 13, 2006, eMagin agreed to a
settlement with the New York State Urban Development Corporation to repay
$112,200 of the $150,000 grant. The settlement requires that repayments be made
on a monthly basis in the amount of $3,116.67 per month commencing August 1,
2006 and ending on July 1, 2009.

As of
February 28, 2009, there were 510 holders of record of our common stock. Because
brokers and other institutions hold many of the shares on behalf of
shareholders, we are unable to determine the actual number of shareholders
represented by these record holders.
Dividends
We have
never declared or paid cash dividends on our common stock. We currently
anticipate that we will retain all future earnings to fund the operation of our
business and do not anticipate paying dividends on our common stock in the
foreseeable future.
Recent
Issuances of Unregistered Stock
As
previously reported on a Form 8-K that was filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on December 23, 2008, pursuant to a Securities Purchase
Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) entered into on December 18,
2008 between the Company and an accredited
Investor ("Investor") on December 22, 2008 (the “Closing”), the
Company sold the Investor for an aggregate purchase price of $4,033,000 an
aggregate of 4,033 shares of its Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the
“Preferred Stock – Series B”), which have a stated value of $1,000 per share, a
conversion price of $0.75 per share and have the rights and preferences set
forth in the Certificate of Designations of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock
filed with the Secretary of State for the State of Delaware on December 19, 2008
(the “Certificate of Designations”), and warrants to purchase 1,875,467 shares
of common stock at $1.03 per share. The warrants terminate on December 22,
2013.
On
December 22, 2008, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange
Agreement”) with three holders (“Exchange Holders”) of its outstanding Amended
Notes (as defined below). Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, on
December 22, 2008, the Exchange Holders exchanged $1,700,000 of their
outstanding Amended Notes and accrued and unpaid interest thereon and
received 1,706 shares of the Preferred Stock (the amount of the outstanding
principal and accrued and unpaid interest due on the Amended Notes
exchanged divided by $1,000).
On August
26, 2008, the Company and Moriah Capital, L.P. (“Moriah”) entered into Amendment
No. 3 to the Loan and Security Agreement dated as of August 20, 2008 (the
“Amendment No. 3”). Pursuant to Amendment No. 3, the Company issued Moriah
a warrant, which terminates on August 7, 2013, to purchase up to 370,000 shares
of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.30 per
share.
Pursuant
to Amendment No. 3, the Company and Moriah entered into an Amended and
Restated Securities Issuance agreement (the “Amended and Restated Securities
Issuance Agreement”). In connection with a Securities Issuance Agreement, dated
as of August 7, 2007 (the “Original Securities Issuance Agreement”), the Company
issued Moriah 162,500 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “2007
Shares”). Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Securities Issuance
Agreement, Moriah agreed to waive the Company’s obligation to buy back the
2007 Shares with respect to 125,000 of such shares and to defer the Company’s
obligation to buy back 37,500 of such 2007 Shares (collectively, the
“Put Waiver”). Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Securities Agreement, the
Company issued Moriah 485,000 shares of its Common Stock (of which 125,000
shares were issued in consideration for the Put Waiver from Moriah and 360,000
shares were issued in lieu of the issuance to Moriah of the Contingent
Issued Shares (as described in the Original Securities Issuance Agreement)).
Additionally, pursuant to the Amended and Restated Securities Issuance
Agreement, the Company has also granted Moriah a put option pursuant to which
Moriah can sell 162,500 shares of its common stock issued under the Amended and
Restated Securities Agreement for $195,000, pro-rated for any
portion thereof (the “2007 Put Price”). The 2007 Put Option shall
automatically be deemed exercised by Moriah unless Moriah delivers written
notice to the Company at any time between July 1, 2009 and August 1, 2009 that
it does not wish to exercise the 2007 Put Option. The Company also granted
Moriah a second put option pursuant to which Moriah can sell 360,000 of the
shares issued to Moriah pursuant to the Amended and Restated Securities Purchase
Agreement to the Company for $234,000 (the “2008 Put
Option”). The 2008 Put Option shall automatically be deemed
exercised by Moriah unless Moriah delivers written notice to the Company at any
time between July 1, 2009 and August 1, 2009 that Moriah does not wish to
exercise the 2008 Put option in whole or in part.
On August
19, 2008, the Holders (as defined below) of the Amended Notes and the
Investors in the Purchase Agreement (as defined below) consented to the
Company’s execution of the Amendment No. 3, Amended and Restated Securities
Issuance Agreement, and the Amended Registration Rights Agreement. On
September 4, 2008, in consideration for the consent, a total of 144,000 shares
of common stock were issued to the Holders and Investors based on individual
participation in the Amended Notes and Securities Purchase
Agreement.
On April
2, 2008, eMagin Corporation (the “Company”) entered into a Securities Purchase
Agreement, pursuant to which it sold to certain qualified institutional buyers
and accredited investors an aggregate of 1,586,539 shares of the Company’s
common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and warrants to purchase an additional
793,273 shares of common stock, for an aggregate purchase price of $1,650,000.
The purchase price of the common stock was $1.04 per share and the strike price
of the corresponding warrant was $1.30 per share. The warrants expire April 2,
2013.
The
Company and Moriah Capital, L.P. (“Moriah”) entered into Amendment No. 2 to the
Loan and Security Agreement dated as of March 25, 2008 (the “Second
Amendment”). Pursuant to the Second Amendment, Moriah waived the
Company’s noncompliance with Sections 7.2, 7.3, 8.11, 9.1, 9.3, 9.5(c) and 11.5
of the Loan and Security Agreement to the extent such noncompliance resulted
solely from the Company’s inadvertently misstating the amount of its inventory
that contained defective parts (the “Defective Inventory Count”), provided that
on or before April 8, 2008 the Company repays Moriah all prior Advances (as
defined in the Loan and Security Agreement), which exceed the Maximum Credit (as
defined in the Loan and Security Agreement) if any, as a result of the Defective
Inventory Count.
Pursuant
to the Second Amendment, the Company has advised Moriah of certain delays
in implementing the Lockbox Agreement, as required under the Loan and
Security Agreement, which, if unwaived, would result in the Company’s
noncompliance with section 2.1(f) of the Loan and Security Agreement and with
Section 3 of the Post-Closing Agreement between the Company and Moriah, dated
August 7, 2007. Moriah agreed to waive noncompliance with Sections
2.1(f) of the Loan and Security Agreement and Section 3 of the Post-Closing
Agreement in reliance on the Company’s representation and warranty that all
lockbox arrangements required to be implemented under Section 2.1(f) of the Loan
and Security Agreement and under Section 3 of the Post-Closing Agreement have
been consummated and are in full force and effect as of March 12,
2008.
On
January 30, 2008, the Company and Moriah entered into a Warrant Issuance
Agreement (the “Warrant Issuance Agreement”). The Company and Moriah
entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Warrant Issuance Agreement. Pursuant to the
Amendment No. 1 to Warrant Issuance Agreement, the Company issued Moriah a
Warrant to purchase 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise
price of $1.50 per share until March 25, 2013 (the “March 2008 Warrant”).
Pursuant to the Amendment No. 1 to the Warrant Issuance Agreement, Section 3.2
of the Warrant Issuance Agreement was amended to provide that the Company has to
file by April 29, 2008 a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange
Commission to register 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock issuable
upon exercise of warrants issued to Moriah (including the March 2008 Warrant and
a warrant to purchase 750,000 shares of the Common Stock which was previously
issued to Moriah).

ITEM
7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
Introduction
The
following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements
and Notes thereto. Our fiscal year ends December 31. This document contains
certain forward-looking statements including, among others, anticipated trends
in our financial condition and results of operations and our business strategy.
(See Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors "). These forward-looking statements are
based largely on our current expectations and are subject to a number of risks
and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from these
forward-looking statements. Important factors to consider in evaluating such
forward-looking statements include (i) changes in external factors or in our
internal budgeting process which might impact trends in our results of
operations; (ii) unanticipated working capital or other cash requirements; (iii)
changes in our business strategy or an inability to execute our strategy due to
unanticipated changes in the industries in which we operate; and (iv) various
competitive market factors that may prevent us from competing successfully in
the marketplace.
Overview
We design
and manufacture miniature displays, which we refer to as
OLED-on-silicon-microdisplays, and microdisplay modules for virtual imaging,
primarily for incorporation into the products of other manufacturers.
Microdisplays are typically smaller than many postage stamps, but when viewed
through a magnifier they can contain all of the information appearing on a
high-resolution personal computer screen. Our microdisplays use organic light
emitting diodes, or OLEDs, which emit light themselves when a current is passed
through the device. Our technology permits OLEDs to be coated onto silicon chips
to produce high resolution OLED-on-silicon microdisplays.
We
believe that our OLED-on-silicon microdisplays offer a number of advantages in
near to the eye applications over other current microdisplay technologies,
including lower power requirements, less weight, fast video speed without
flicker, and wider viewing angles. In addition, many computer and video
electronic system functions can be built directly into the OLED-on-silicon
microdisplay, resulting in compact systems with lower expected overall system
costs relative to alternate microdisplay technologies.
Since our
inception in 1996 through 2004, we derived the majority of our revenues from
fees paid to us under research and development contracts, primarily with the
U.S. federal government. We have devoted significant resources to the
development and commercial launch of our products. We commenced limited initial
sales of our SVGA+ microdisplay in May 2001 and commenced shipping samples of
our SVGA-3D microdisplay in February 2002. From inception to December 31, 2008,
we have recognized an aggregate of approximately $54.4 million from sales of our
products. As of February 28, 2009, we have a backlog of approximately $7.4
million in products ordered for delivery through December 31, 2009 compared to a
backlog of $7.1 million in products ordered for delivery through December 31,
2008. This backlog consists of non-binding purchase orders and purchase
agreements. These products are being applied or considered for near-eye and
headset applications in products such as thermal imagers, night vision goggles,
entertainment headsets, handheld Internet and telecommunication appliances,
viewfinders, and wearable computers to be manufactured by original equipment
manufacturer (OEM) customers. We have also shipped a limited number of our Z800
3DVisor personal display systems. In addition to marketing OLED-on-silicon
microdisplays as components, we also offer microdisplays as an integrated
package, which we call Microviewer that includes a compact lens for viewing the
microdisplay and electronic interfaces to convert the signal from our customer's
product into a viewable image on the microdisplay.
We hold a
license from Eastman Kodak for use of their OLED related technology and we have
developed a strong portfolio of our own patents, manufacturing know-how and
technology to create high performance OLED-on-silicon microdisplays and related
optical systems. We believe our technology and intellectual property portfolio,
gives us a leadership position in OLED and OLED-on-silicon microdisplay
technology. We believe that we are the only company to demonstrate publicly and
market full-color small molecule OLED-on-silicon microdisplays.
Company
History
We began
as a developmental stage company. As of January 1, 2003, we were no longer
classified as a development stage company. We have transitioned to manufacturing
our product and intend to significantly increase our marketing, sales, and
research and development efforts, and expand our operating infrastructure.
Currently, most of our operating expenses are labor related and therefore
semi-fixed. If we are unable to generate significant revenues, our net losses in
any given period could be greater than expected.
Critical
Accounting Policies
The
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") defines "critical accounting
policies" as those that require application of management's most difficult,
subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates
about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in
subsequent periods. Not all of the accounting policies require management to
make difficult, subjective or complex judgments or estimates. However, the
following policies could be deemed to be critical within the SEC
definition.
Revenue
and Cost Recognition
Revenue
on product sales is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement
exists, such as when a purchase order or contract is received from the customer,
the price is fixed, title and risk of loss to the goods has changed and there is
a reasonable assurance of collection of the sales proceeds. We obtain written
purchase authorizations from our customers for a specified amount of product at
a specified price and consider delivery to have occurred at the time of
shipment. We record a reserve for estimated sales returns, which is reflected as
a reduction of revenue at the time of revenue
recognition. Products sold directly to consumers have a thirty
day right of return. Revenue on consumer products is deferred until
the right of return has expired.
Revenues
from research and development activities relating to firm fixed-price contracts
are generally recognized on the percentage-of-completion method of accounting as
costs are incurred (cost-to-cost basis). Revenues from research and development
activities relating to cost-plus-fee contracts include costs incurred plus a
portion of estimated fees or profits based on the relationship of costs incurred
to total estimated costs. Contract costs include all direct material and labor
costs and an allocation of allowable indirect costs as defined by each contract,
as periodically adjusted to reflect revised agreed upon rates. These rates are
subject to audit by the other party.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These
estimates and assumptions relate to recording net revenue, collectibility of
accounts receivable, useful lives and impairment of tangible and intangible
assets, accruals, income taxes, inventory realization and other factors.
Management has exercised reasonable judgment in deriving these estimates.
Consequently, a change in conditions could affect these estimates.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
eMagin’s
cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, short-term investments, accounts
payable and debt are stated at cost which approximates fair value due to the
short-term nature of these instruments.
Stock-based
Compensation
eMagin
maintains several stock equity incentive plans. The 2005 Employee
Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) provides our employees with the opportunity to
purchase common stock through payroll deductions. Employees purchase
stock semi-annually at a price that is 85% of the fair market value at certain
plan-defined dates. As of December 31, 2008, the number of shares of
common stock available for issuance was 300,000. As of December 31,
2008, the plan had not been implemented.
The 2003
Stock Option Plan (the”2003 Plan”) provides for grants of shares of common stock
and options to purchase shares of common stock to employees, officers, directors
and consultants. Under the 2003 plan, an ISO grant is granted
at the market value of our common stock at the date of the grant and a non-ISO
is granted at a price not to be less than 85% of the market value of the common
stock. These options have a term of up to 10 years and vest over a
schedule determined by the Board of Directors, generally over a five year
period. The amended 2003 Plan provides for an annual increase in
common stock available for issuance by 3% of the diluted shares outstanding on
January 1 of each year for a period of 9 years which commenced January 1,
2005.
The 2008
Incentive Stock Plan (“the 2008 Plan”) adopted and approved by the Board of
Directors on November 5, 2008 provides for shares of common stock and options to
purchase shares of common stock to employees, officers, directors and
consultants. As of December 31, 2008, no options or shares of
common stock were granted from this plan.
The
Company accounts for the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for
all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors under Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based
Payment , (SFAS 123(R)). Under SFAS 123(R), the fair value of stock
awards is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option
valuation model. Stock-based compensation expense is reduced for
estimated forfeitures and is amortized over the vesting period using the
straight-line method. See Note 11 to the financial statements – Stock
Compensation for a further discussion on stock-based compensation.

Year
Ended December 31, 2008 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2007
Revenues
Revenues
increased by approximately $1.1 million to a total of approximately $18.7
million for the year ended December 31, 2008 from approximately $17.6 million
for the year ended December 31, 2007, representing an increase of 7%. This
increase was primarily due to increased contract revenue from research and
development projects. Our contract revenue increased approximately $1.6 million
while our product revenue decreased approximately $0.5 million. Our current
expectation is that total revenue will continue to grow in 2009 if we
successfully execute our business plan.
Cost
of Goods Sold
Cost of
goods sold includes direct and indirect costs associated with production of our
products. Cost of goods sold for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 was
approximately $10.7 million and $12.6, respectively, a decrease of $1.9
million. The decrease included an inventory write-off of
approximately $0.4 million in 2007 related to a non-recurring production issue
that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2007. An increase in yield in 2008
accounted for the remaining difference.
Cost of
goods sold as a percentage of revenues improved from 72% in 2007 to 57% in 2008.
Cost of goods is comprised primarily of material and labor cost. The labor
portion of cost of goods is mostly fixed. Increased display production output
volume and improved manufacturing yield results in a lower cost of goods sold
percentage.
The
gross profit was approximately $8.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2008
and the gross profit was approximately $4.9 million for the year ended December
31, 2007. The gross margin was 43% for the year ended December 31,
2008 as compared to the gross margin of 28% for the year ended December 31,
2007. The gross margin improvement was attributed primarily to
improved manufacturing yield.
Research
and Development Expenses
Research
and development expenses include salaries, development materials and other costs
specifically allocated to the development of new microdisplay products, OLED
materials and subsystems. Research and development expenses for the
year ended December 31, 2008 were approximately $2.1 million as compared to
approximately $2.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, a decrease of
$0.8 million. The 29% decrease was due to the re-deployment of
research and development personnel to production contract services which are
included in cost of goods sold and to a streamlining of the research and
development effort in the subsystems area which resulted in expense
reductions.
Selling,
General and Administrative Expenses
Selling,
general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related
expenses for employees in the functional areas of business development, finance,
information technology, quality assurance and other corporate expenses. This
includes fees for professional services, such as audit and legal fees associated
with audit, SEC filings, and other public company related matters, as well as
other marketing and administrative expenses. General and
administrative expenses decreased by approximately $0.3 million to a total of
approximately $6.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 from $6.6
million for the year ended December 31, 2007. The 5% decrease was primarily
related to a reduction of marketing expenses, personnel costs and other cost
reductions.
Other
(Expense) Income
Other
(expense) income, net consists primarily of interest income earned on
investments, interest expense related to the secured debt, loss from the change
in the derivative liability, loss on the extinguishment of debt and other income
from the licensing of intangible assets.
For the
year ended December 31, 2008, interest expense was approximately $2.0 million as
compared to $3.1 million for the year ended December 31,
2007. Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2008 was
comprised of interest associated with debt of approximately $0.7 million; the
amortization of the deferred costs associated with debt of approximately $1.3
million; the amortization of the debt discount associated with debt of $25
thousand; and other expenses of approximately $2 thousand. Interest
expense for 2007 consisted of interest expense associated with debt of
approximately $744 thousand; the amortization of the deferred costs associated
with debt of approximately $418 thousand; and the amortization of the debt
discount associated with the debt of approximately $1.9 million. The
majority of the decrease in interest expense in 2008 as compared to 2007 was a
reduction in the amortization of debt discount associated with debt of $1.9
million offset by an increase in the amortization of deferred costs associated
with debt of $0.9 million.
For
the year ended December 31, 2008, the change in the derivative liability was $0
compared to a loss of approximately $853 thousand for the year ended December
31, 2007. The loss on extinguishment of debt was $0 for the year ended December
31, 2008 as compared to a loss of $10.7 million for the year ended December 31,
2007.
Other
income for the year ended December 31, 2008 was approximately $400 thousand
which consisted of interest income of approximately $11
thousand; approximately $18 thousand of income from equipment
salvage; gain on the license of intangibles of $557 thousand; and offset by
approximately $186 thousand of liquidated damages expense related to
registration payment arrangements as compared to approximately $815 thousand for
the year ended December 31, 2007 which consisted of interest income of
approximately $43 thousand, a gain on the license of intangible assets of $869
thousand, offset by a write-off of a miscellaneous receivable of $103 thousand,
and other income of $7 thousand. See Note 12 to the financial
statements: Commitments and Contingencies – Royalties for additional
information.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We have
no off balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current
or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, results of operations,
liquidity or capital expenditures.
Year
Ended December 31, 2007 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2006
Revenues
Revenues
increased by approximately $9.4 million to a total of approximately $17.6
million for the year ended December 31, 2007 from approximately $8.2 million for
the year ended December 31, 2006, representing an increase of 115%. This
increase was due to increased microdisplay demand and increased production
capabilities. Contract revenue increased approximately $1.2 million while our
product revenue increased approximately $8.2 million. Average price per unit for
microdisplays was $371 in 2007 and $386 in 2006.
Cost
of Goods Sold
Cost of
goods sold includes direct and indirect costs associated with production of our
products. Cost of goods sold for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was
approximately $12.6 million and $11.4, respectively, an increase of $1.3
million. The increase included an inventory write-off of approximately $0.4
million and an increase in our warranty return reserve of approximately $0.6
million, both related to a non-recurring production issue that occurred during
the fourth quarter of 2007. The non-recurring production issue involved changing
a production procedure without adequate testing prior to implementation. The
Company has taken steps to ensure any procedural changes in the production
process will be thoroughly tested prior to implementation.
Cost of
goods sold as a percentage of revenues improved from 139% in 2006 to 72% in
2007. Cost of goods is comprised primarily of material and labor cost. The labor
portion of cost of goods is mostly fixed. Increased volume results in a lower
cost of goods sold percentage. The improvement in cost of goods sold in 2007 was
due primarily to both a streamlining of the Company’s workforce in mid-2006 that
had a significant full year effect on the fixed portion of cost of goods sold in
2007 and the effect of the revenue increase.
The gross
profit was approximately $4.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 and
the gross loss was approximately ($3.2) million for the year ended December 31,
2006. The gross margin was 28% for the year ended December 31, 2007 as compared
to the gross loss of (39%) for the year ended December 31, 2006. The gross
margin improvement was attributed to fuller utilization of our fixed production
overhead due to higher unit production volume.
Research
and development expenses included salaries, development materials and other
costs specifically allocated to the development of new microdisplay products,
OLED materials and subsystems. Research and development expenses for
the year ended December 31, 2007 were approximately $2.9 million as compared to
approximately $4.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The
decrease was primarily due to a decrease in research and development personnel
and related expenses.
Selling,
General and Administrative Expenses
Selling,
general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related
expenses for employees in the functional areas of business development, finance,
information technology, quality assurance and other corporate expenses. This
includes fees for professional services, such as audit and legal fees associated
with audit, SEC filings, and other public company related matters, as well as
other marketing and administrative expenses. General and
administrative expenses decreased by approximately $2.3 million to a total of
approximately $6.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 from $8.9
million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The decrease in selling, general
and administrative expenses was due primarily to a reduction of personnel and
related expenses and a decrease in marketing expenses.
Other
(Expense) Income
Other
(expense) income, net consists primarily of interest income earned on
investments, interest expense related to the secured debt, loss from the change
in the derivative liability, loss on the extinguishment of debt and other income
from the licensing of intangible assets.
For the
year ended December 31, 2007, interest expense was approximately $3.1 million as
compared to $1.3 million for the year ended December 31,
2006. Interest expense for 2007 consisted of interest expense
associated with debt of approximately $744 thousand; the amortization of the
deferred costs associated with debt of approximately $418 thousand; and the
amortization of the debt discount associated with the debt of approximately $1.9
million. Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2006 was
comprised of interest associated with debt of approximately $124 thousand; the
amortization of the deferred costs associated with the notes payable of
approximately $221 thousand; and the amortization of the debt discount
associated with the debt of approximately $956 thousand. The increase
of $1.8 million of interest expense in 2007 as compared to 2006 was comprised of
an increase in the interest expense associated with debt of $0.6 million, an
increase in the amortization of deferred costs associated with debt of $0.2
million and an increase in the amortization of the debt discount associated with
debt of $0.9 million and was a result of higher debt balances in
2007.
For the
year ended December 31, 2007, the change in the derivative liability was a loss
of approximately $853 thousand as compared to a gain of approximately $2.4
million ended December 31, 2006.
The loss
on extinguishment of debt was $10.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2007
as compared to $0 for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Other
income for the year ended December 31, 2007 was approximately $815 thousand
which consisted of interest income of approximately $43 thousand, a gain on the
license of intangible assets of $869 thousand, offset by a write-off of a
miscellaneous receivable of $103 thousand, and other income of $7 thousand as
compared to $91 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2006. See
Note 12 to the financial statements: Commitments and Contingencies –
Royalties for additional information.
As of
December 31, 2008, we had approximately $2.5 million of cash and investments as
compared to approximately $.8 million as of December 31, 2007. The
increase of approximately $1.7 million was due primarily to cash provided by
financing activities.
For the
year ended December 31, 2008, net cash provided by operating activities was
approximately $138 thousand, attributable to improved net loss of approximately
$1.9 million offset by non cash expenses of approximately $3.0 million and
approximately $1.1 million from the change in operating assets and
liabilities. Net cash used in operating activities
for the year ended December 31, 2007 was approximately $1.9 million, primarily
attributable to our net loss of approximately $18.5 million offset primarily by
the non-cash expense components of loss on extinguishment of debt of
approximately $10.7 million, stock based compensation of approximately $1.7
million, amortization of discount on notes payable of approximately $1.9
million, and issuance of common stock for services of approximately $1.3
million.
For the
year ended December 31, 2008, net cash used in investing activities was
approximately $311 thousand primarily related to the purchase of
equipment. Net cash provided by investing activities for the year
ended December 31, 2007 was approximately $61 thousand primarily related to the
maturing of investments.
Net cash
provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2008 was
approximately $1.9 million and was comprised of approximately $5.5 million from
proceeds of sale of common and preferred stock, net of issuance costs
and approximately $1.9 million from proceeds from the line of credit
offset by the payments of long-term debt of approximately $5.5
million. Net cash provided by financing activities during the
year ended December 31, 2007 was approximately $1.2 million and was comprised
primarily of approximately $1.6 million in proceeds from debt issuance and
offset by payments on long-term debt and capitalized lease obligations of
approximately $63 thousand and deferred financing costs of approximately $368
thousand.
As we
have reported our business experienced significant revenue growth during the
years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. This trend, if it continues, may result
in higher accounts receivable levels and may require increased production and/or
higher inventory levels. In addition, in August 2009, we will be obligated
to repay any outstanding amounts on our line of credit if we are unable to renew
or find a suitable alternative line of credit. As of February 28,
2009, we have drawn approximately $632 thousand of the $3 million available on
the line. We anticipate that our cash requirements to fund these
requirements as well as other operating or investing cash requirements over the
next twelve months will be less than our current cash on hand and the cash we
anticipate generating from operations. We anticipate that we will not
require additional funds over the next twelve months. If unanticipated
events arise during the next twelve months and we require additional funding and
we are unable to obtain sufficient funds we will further reduce the size of our
organization and may be forced to reduce and/or curtail our production and
operations, all of which could have a material adverse impact on our business
prospects.

ITEM
7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET
RISK
Market
rate risk
We are
exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates and foreign currency
exchanges rates.
Interest
rate risk
We hold
our assets in cash and cash equivalents. We do not hold derivative
financial instruments or equity securities.
Foreign
currency exchange rate risk
Our
revenue and expenses are denominated in U.S. dollars. We have
conducted some transactions in foreign currencies and expect to continue to do
so; we do not anticipate that foreign exchange gains or losses will be
significant. We have not engaged in foreign currency hedging to
date.
Our
international business is subject to risks typical of international activity,
including, but not limited to, differing economic conditions; change in
political climates; differing tax structures; and other regulations and
restrictions. Accordingly, our future results could be impacted by
changes in these or other factors.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of
Directors and Stockholders
eMagin
Corporation
We have
audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of eMagin Corporation (the
"Company") as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, changes in shareholders' equity (capital deficit) and
cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended
December 31, 2008. Our audits also included the financial statement
schedule - Valuation and Qualifying Accounts - listed in
the index at item 15. These financial statements and schedule
are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
schedule based on our audits.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were
not engaged to perform an audit of the Company's internal control over financial
reporting. Our audits include consideration of internal control over
financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial
reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our
opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the consolidated financial position of eMagin Corporation as
of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the consolidated results of its
operations and its consolidated cash flows for each of the years in the
three-year period ended December 31, 2008 in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our
opinion, the financial statement schedule referred to above, when considered in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in
all material respects the information set forth therein.

CORPORATION
NOTES
TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note
1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS
eMagin
Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary (the “Company”)
designs, develops, manufactures, and markets OLED on silicon
microdisplays, virtual imaging products which utilize OLED microdisplays. The
Company’s products are sold mainly in North America, Asia, and
Europe.
Principles
of consolidation
The
accompanying audited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
eMagin Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary. All intercompany
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassifications
Certain
items in the prior years’ consolidated financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Use
of estimates
In
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America, management utilizes certain estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and
judgments. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience
and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about
the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from
other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue and cost
recognition
Revenue
is recognized when products are shipped to customers, net of allowances for
anticipated returns. The Company’s revenue-earning
activities generally involve delivering products and revenues
are considered to be earned when the Company has completed the process
by which it is entitled to such revenues.
Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of
an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, selling price is
fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured. We record
a reserve for estimated sales returns, which is reflected as a reduction of
revenue at the time of revenue recognition. The Company defers
revenue recognition on products sold directly to the consumer with a maximum
thirty day right of return. Revenue is recognized upon the expiration
of the right of return.
The
Company also earns revenues from certain R&D activities under
both firm fixed-price contracts and cost-type
contracts, including some cost-plus-fee contracts.
Revenues relating to firm fixed-price contracts are
generally recognized on the percentage-of-completion method
of accounting as costs are incurred (cost-to-cost basis).
Revenues on cost-plus-fee contracts include costs incurred plus a
portion of estimated fees or profits based on the relationship of costs incurred
to total estimated costs. Contract costs include all direct material and
labor costs and an allocation of allowable indirect costs as
defined by each contract, as periodically adjusted to reflect revised
agreed upon rates. These rates are subject to audit by the other
party.
Shipping
and Handling Fees and Costs
Shipping
and handling fees billed to customers are netted against the shipping and
handling costs which are recorded as cost of sales.
Research and
development expenses
Research
and development costs are expensed as incurred.
Cash
and cash equivalents
All
highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less at
the date of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents.
Investments-held
to maturity
Securities
that the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are
classified as held-to-maturity and are carried at amortized cost on the
accompanying balance sheet.
Accounts
receivable
The
majority of the Company’s commercial accounts receivable is due from Original
Equipment Manufacturers ("OEM’s”). Credit is extended based on evaluation of a
customer’s financial condition and, generally, collateral is not required.
Accounts receivable are payable in U.S. dollars, are due within 30-90 days and
are stated at amounts due from customers net of an allowance for doubtful
accounts. Any account outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms is
considered past due.
Allowance for doubtful
accounts
The
allowance for doubtful accounts reflects an estimate of probable losses inherent
in the accounts receivable balance. The allowance is determined based on a
variety of factors, including the length of time receivables are past due,
historical experience, the customer's current ability to pay its obligation, and
the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. The
Company will record a specific reserve for individual accounts when the Company
becomes aware of a customer's inability to meet its financial obligations, such
as in the case of bankruptcy filings or deterioration in the customer's
operating results or financial position. If circumstances related to customers
change, the Company would further adjust estimates of the recoverability of
receivables.
Inventory
Inventory
is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in
first-out method. Cost includes materials, labor, and manufacturing overhead
related to the purchase and production of inventories. The Company regularly
reviews inventory quantities on hand, future purchase commitments with the
Company’s suppliers, and the estimated utility of the inventory. If the Company
review indicates a reduction in utility below carrying value, the inventory is
reduced to a new cost basis.
Equipment,
furniture and leasehold improvements
Equipment,
furniture and leasehold improvements are stated at cost. Depreciation on
equipment is calculated using the straight-line method of depreciation over its
estimated useful life. Amortization of leasehold improvements is calculated by
using the straight-line method over the shorter of their estimated useful lives
or lease terms. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense
as incurred.
In
accordance with SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets," the Company performs impairment tests on its long-lived
assets when circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be
recoverable. If required, recoverability is tested by comparing the estimated
future undiscounted cash flows of the asset or asset group to its carrying
value. Impairment losses, if any, are recognized based on the excess of the
assets' carrying amounts over their estimated fair values.
Intangible
Assets
The
Company’s intangible assets consist of patents that are amortized over their
estimated useful lives of fifteen years using the straight line
method. Total intangible amortization expense was approximately $4
thousand for each of the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006,
respectively. The accumulated amortization as of December 31, 2008
was $18 thousand.
Advertising
Costs
related to advertising and promotion of products is charged to sales and
marketing expense as incurred. Advertising expense for the years
ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006 was $0, $10 thousand, and $296 thousand,
respectively.
Income
taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the provisions of Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS
No. 109”). SFAS No. 109 requires that the Company recognize deferred
tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events
that have been included in the financial statements or tax
returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets 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 records an
estimated valuation allowance on its deferred income tax assets if it is more
likely than not that these deferred income tax assets will not be
realized.
Loss
per common share
In
accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share", net loss per common share
amounts ("basic EPS") is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding and excluding any potential dilution. Net
loss per common share amounts assuming dilution ("diluted EPS") reflects the
potential dilution from the exercise of stock options and warrants. These common
equivalent shares have been excluded from the computation of diluted EPS for all
periods presented as their effect is antidilutive. The years ended December 31,
2008, 2007, and 2006 do not include options, warrants, convertible notes,
redeemable stock, and convertible preferred stock to purchase common equivalent
shares of 22,069,412, 17,728,020, and 6,832,620, respectively, as their effect
would be antidilutive.
Comprehensive
income (loss)
SFAS No.
130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", requires companies to report all changes
in equity during a period, except those resulting from investment by owners and
distributions to owners, for the period in which they are recognized.
Comprehensive income (loss) is the total of net income (loss) and other
comprehensive income (loss) items, such as unrealized gains or losses on foreign
currency translation adjustments. Comprehensive income (loss) must be reported
on the face of the annual financial statements. The Company's operations did not
give rise to any material items includable in comprehensive income (loss), which
were not already in net loss for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and
2006. Accordingly, the Company's comprehensive loss is the same as its net
income (loss) for the periods presented.
Stock-based
compensation
The
Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the provisions of SFAS No.
123R, “Share-Based Payment”, which requires the Company to recognize expense
related to the fair value of the Company’s share-based compensation issued to
employees and directors. We adopted SFAS No. 123R using the modified
prospective transition method. Compensation cost recognized for the
years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006 includes a) compensation cost for
all share-based compensation granted prior to, but not vested as of January 1,
2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the
original provisions of SFAS No.123 and b) compensation cost for all share-based
compensation granted beginning January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair
value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS
No.123R. The compensation cost was recognized using the straight-line
attribution method. See Note 11 for a further discussion
on stock-based compensation.
At
December 31, 2008, the Company's cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable,
short-term investments, accounts payable and debt are shown at cost which
approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these
instruments.
Concentration
of Credit Risk
Financial
instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit
risk consist of cash and cash equivalents. The Company’s cash and
cash equivalents are deposited with financial institutions which, at times, may
exceed federally insured limits. To date, the Company has not
experienced any loss associated with this risk.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” (“SFAS 157”), which defines fair value,
establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted
accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements, but provides guidance
on how to measure fair value by providing a fair value hierarchy used to
classify the source of the information. In February 2008, the FASB issued
FASB Staff Position No. FSP 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement
No. 157”, which provides a one year deferral of the effective date of SFAS
157 for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except those that
are recognized or disclosed in the financial statements at fair value on a
recurring basis. The Company adopted SFAS 157 as of January 1, 2008, with
the exception of the application of the statement to non-recurring non-financial
assets and non-financial liabilities for which it will defer the adoption until
January 1, 2009. In October 2008, the FASB issued FASP FAS 157-3,
“Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset
Is Not Active” (“FSP 157-3”). FSP 157-3 clarified the application of
FAS 157 in situations where the market for that financial asset is not
active. FSP 157-3 was effective upon issuance, including prior
periods for which financial statements had not been issued. The adoption of SFAS
157 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of
operations, financial condition or cash flows.
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option
for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — including an amendment of FASB
Statement No. 115,” (“SFAS 159”) which is effective for fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2007. This statement permits entities to
choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair
value. This statement also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements
designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different
measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. Unrealized
gains and losses on items for which the fair value option is elected would be
reported in earnings. The Company has adopted SFAS 159 and has elected not to
measure any additional financial instruments and other items at fair value and
therefore the adoption of SFAS 159 did not have a material impact on the
Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial condition or cash
flows.
In
March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,
an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 requires
entities to provide greater transparency about (a) how and why an entity
uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related
hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related
interpretations and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items
affect an entity’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
SFAS 161 is effective prospectively for financial statements issued for fiscal
years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early
application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the disclosure
implications of this statement.
In May
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles, (“SFAS 162”), which identifies the sources of
accounting principles and the framework for selecting principles to be used in
the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are
presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States. This statement became effective November 15, 2008. The
adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material on the Company's
consolidated financial statements.
In June
2008, the FASB ratified EITF No. 07-5, "Determining Whether an Instrument
(or an Embedded Feature) is Indexed to an Entity's Own Stock" ("EITF
07-5"). EITF 07-5 provides that an entity should use a two-step approach to
evaluate whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is
indexed to its own stock, including evaluating the instrument's contingent
exercise and settlement provisions. EITF 07-5 is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and
interim periods within those fiscal years, and must be applied to all
instruments outstanding on the date of adoption. The Company is currently
assessing the potential impact of this EITF 07-5 on its consolidated financial
condition and results of operations.
