ITEM 1. BUSINESS


Introduction


This annual report on Form 10-K is a comprehensive filing for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012. It is being filed by us in order to become current in our filing obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. This is our first periodic filing since the quarter ended March 31, 2012. Included in this report are the audited financial statements that have not been included in annual reports on Form 10-K for the years ended since December 31, 2011, as well as summarized quarterly financial information for each of the quarters ended June 30 and September 30, 2012 and for each of the quarters ended March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2013 and 2014.


This annual report should be read together and in connection with the other reports filed by us with the SEC, including our Form 10-Qs for the quarters ended June 30, 2015 and March 31, 2015 being filed contemporaneously with this report, for a comprehensive description of our current financial condition and operating results. In the interest of complete and accurate disclosure, we have included current information in this annual report for all material events and developments that have taken place through the date of filing of this annual report with the SEC.


Background


Nocopi Technologies, Inc. (hereinafter "Nocopi", "Registrant" or the "Company") is a Maryland corporation organized in 1983 that currently develops and markets specialty reactive inks that it believes have applications in the large educational and toy products market. Registrant also develops and markets technologies for document and product authentication which it believes can reduce losses caused by fraudulent document reproduction or by product counterfeiting and/or diversion. Registrant derives its revenues primarily from licensing its technologies on an exclusive or non-exclusive basis to licensees who incorporate the technologies into their product offering and from selling products incorporating its technologies to the licensees or to their licensed printers.


For several years through December 31, 2011, Registrant experienced a decline in revenues as privately-held Elmer’s Products (Elmers), who held a license for two of Registrant’s technologies deemphasized/discontinued product lines that utilized these technologies. The lower revenues resulting from both lower licensing revenues and lower sales of ink to the licensed printer of this licensee caused significant operating losses and a decline in its financial condition during those years which, beginning in mid-2012, resulted in a period of adverse liquidity that continued until mid-2014 when revenue increases generated from two new licensees and their printer in the entertainment and toy products market began to positively impact Registrant’s cash flow. During the period of adverse liquidity that began in mid-2012, certain officers and employees of Registrant deferred salaries and commissions. Registrant also, where possible, deferred payments to certain suppliers and providers of professional services, including its auditors. In the second half of 2013, Registrant sold $105,000 of convertible debentures to seven investors. Funds raised were used to both fund working capital requirements resulting from an increase in revenues as sales of ink to the licensed printer of the new licensees increased during 2013 and to reduce certain outstanding liabilities. As further growth in revenues occurred in the first half of 2014, Registrant’s improved cash flow permitted it to address the preparation of its delinquent compliance filings as outstanding liabilities due its auditors were reduced. Registrant’s revenues increased by 18% in 2013 to $750,200 from $637,000 in 2012 and by 23% in 2014 to $922,800, primarily due to higher license fees realized and higher ink orders from the licensed printer of Registrant’s licensees in the entertainment and toy products market. The revenue increases and other cost containment measures contributed to Registrant’s return to profitability in 2013 and 2014. In 2014 and 2013, Registrant’s net income was $7,900 and $10,300, respectively, compared to a net loss of $146,100 in 2012. Registrant has experienced further revenue growth during the first half of 2015, during which it concluded a new multi-year license with one of its two major licensees in the entertainment and toy products market.


Registrant continues its efforts to raise additional capital, in the form of debt, equity or both to support its working capital requirements and to provide funding for other business opportunities. There are no assurances that Registrant will be able to attract such additional capital.


There can be no assurances that the marketing and product development activities of the Company’s licensees will produce a significant increase in operating revenues for the Company, nor can the timing of any potential revenue increases be predicted.

Entertainment and Toy Technologies and Products


Registrant’s technology for the Entertainment and Toy Products market consists of removable dyes that can be produced in a variety of colors and can be revealed by rubbing with a fingernail or other firm object such as a plastic pen cap. This technology, introduced in 2004, has been named Rub-it & Color. Registrant believes that this technology does not compromise the confidentiality of its security and authentication technologies whose chemistry is similar but the specific formulations are different for each application. Applications include children’s activity products such as coloring books without crayons or restaurant place mats, educational instruction books and testing review manuals. Registrant has obtained certifications of non-toxicity from the Consumer Products Services, Inc. and the American Society for Testing and Materials Laboratories. In late 2011, Elmer’s, a former licensee, sold a division that utilized a technology license with Registrant to a business with a significant presence in the entertainment and toy products market and, with Registrant’s consent, assigned the technology license to the purchaser. In January 2012, Registrant negotiated a new six-year license, containing guaranteed royalties for 2012, with the acquirer of the license which permits this licensee to exclusively market a specific line of products incorporating Registrant’s technologies through a specific distribution channel but permitting Registrant to license the covered technologies to others for applications and sale through channels of distribution not available to this licensee under the terms of the new license. In February 2012, Registrant negotiated a license, expiring in 2015, and containing guaranteed minimum royalties over the term of the license, with Bendon, Inc. (Bendon), an international, well-known children’s coloring and activity book publishing company that permits Bendon to exclusively market products with other characteristics that incorporate Registrant’s technologies through a distinctly different channel of distribution. In June 2015, a new four-year license with Bendon, containing guaranteed minimum royalties, was completed. These two new licensees are well known and highly regarded participants in the entertainment and toy products market with significantly greater market recognition and retail distribution in this market than Elmer’s. Both new licensees introduced their initial products incorporating Registrant’s technologies in 2012. Since 2012, revenues derived by Registrant from licensing the technologies to these two licensees and from the sale of ink to the licensed printer of the licensees have been steadily increasing. The agreements with both licensees contain renewal options but there can be no assurances that the licenses will continue in force at the same or more favorable terms beyond their current termination dates nor can there be any assurances that the relationships with these two new licensees will generate revenues for Registrant equal to or greater than those generated by the earlier licensee.


In January 2013, Registrant, upon the expiration of a license for a technology previously held by a business in the entertainment and toy products market, expanded its relationship with the licensee who acquired the license formerly held by Elmer’s to include this technology. The licensee displayed products incorporating this technology to the marketplace at the American International Toy Fair in February 2015 and initial sales of products incorporating this technology were realized in the second quarter of 2015. There can be no assurances that this licensee will generate significant additional operating revenues for Registrant.


In March 2011, Registrant completed a multi-year license agreement with a privately-held designer of creative educational products for children granting the licensee the exclusive right to utilize Registrant’s Rub-it & Color ink technology in a newly-created vertical market in the United States. In addition to an annual license fee, Registrant receives a royalty based on units of product produced. The license was renewed in July 2014 for a period of up to three years. There can be no assurances that the marketing efforts of Registrant’s licensee will generate significant additional operating revenues for the Registrant in the future.


In November 2012, Registrant completed a multi-year license agreement with a privately-held children’s meal entertainment program provider that allows the licensee to use Registrant’s Rub-it & Color ink technology in children’s menus, placemats, butcher paper and certain other products for restaurant use and for sale in certain children’s retail outlets. In December 2014, the license was renewed for a period of six years, expiring in December 2020. There can be no assurances that the marketing efforts of Registrant’s licensee will generate significant additional operating revenues for the Registrant in the future.


In April 2013, Registrant negotiated a license with a nationally known distributor of seasonal boxed greeting cards and other products which permits the licensee to market certain products distributed by the licensee that incorporate specific technologies of the Registrant. Unless renewed, the license terminates in December 2015. The licensee introduced products incorporating Registrant’s technologies in late 2014 resulting in revenues being realized by Registrant in 2014. There can be no assurances that the marketing efforts of Registrant’s licensee will generate significant additional operating revenues for the Registrant in the future.

Registrant continues to pursue additional licensing opportunities for its technologies in the large worldwide entertainment and toy products market through direct marketing efforts and attendance at trade shows. During 2014, Registrant derived approximately 76% of its 2014 total revenues from its licensees and their licensed printers in the entertainment and toy products market compared to approximately 74% and 66%, respectively, derived from this market in 2013 and 2012. There can be no assurances that the Registrant’s available resources, even with additional investment, if obtained, for marketing and further technical development of this product line will be sufficient to increase Registrant’s revenues.


Anti-Counterfeiting and Anti-Diversion Technologies and Products


Continuing developments in copying and printing technologies have made it ever easier to counterfeit a wide variety of documents. Product labels and packaging, retail receipts, event and transportation tickets and the like are all susceptible to counterfeiting, and Registrant believes that losses from such counterfeiting have increased substantially with improvements in the copying and printing technologies. Product counterfeiting has long caused losses to manufacturers of brand name products, and Registrant believes these losses have increased as the counterfeiting of labeling and packaging has become easier.


Registrant's proprietary document authentication technologies are useful to businesses desiring to authenticate a wide variety of printed materials and products. One product incorporating these technologies has the ability to print invisibly on certain areas of a document. When authentication of certain documents is required, the invisible printing can be activated or revealed by use of a special highlighter pen. This technology is marketed under the trademark COPIMARK. Other variations of the COPIMARK technology involve multiple color responses from a common pen, visible marks of one color that turn another color with the pen or visible and invisible marks that turn into a multicolored image. A related technology is Nocopi's RUB & REVEAL system, which permits the invisible printing of an authenticating symbol or code that can be revealed by rubbing a fingernail over the printed area. These technologies provide users with the ability to authenticate documents and detect counterfeit documents. Applications include the authentication of documents having intrinsic value, such as merchandise receipts, checks, travelers' checks, gift certificates and event tickets, and the authentication of product labeling and packaging. When applied to product labels and packaging such technologies allow detection of counterfeit products, the labels and packaging of which would not contain the authenticating marks invisibly printed on the packaging or labels of the legitimate product. Registrant has focused recent marketing efforts on specific industries it believes may be affected by product counterfeiting. These technologies also combat product diversion (i.e. sale of legitimate products through unauthorized distribution channels or in unauthorized markets). A related technology of Registrant, the invisible inkjet technology permits manufacturers and distributors to track the movement of products from production to ultimate consumption when coupled with proprietary software. Management believes that the “track and trace” capability provided by this technology can be attractive to brand owners and marketers. There are no assurances that its ongoing initiatives will result in additional revenues in the future.


Registrant currently participates in the retail receipt and document fraud market through licensing arrangements with eight printers and distributors in the United States and Canada who provide loss prevention products to retailers and other outlets. Registrant believes that these technologies are most efficiently marketed through the use of licensed printers and distributors. During 2012, Registrant and Nashua Corporation, a long-time licensee, ceased their business relationship. The termination of this relationship negatively affected its revenues from loss prevention products in 2012, 2013 and 2014. Registrant continues to use its available internal sales and technical resources to expand the number of licensees marketing its technologies in this market. During 2014, Registrant derived approximately 13% of its 2014 total revenues from its licensees in the retail loss prevention market compared to approximately 11% and 23%, respectively, derived from this market in 2013 and 2012. There can be no assurances that Registrant’s strategy for the retail loss prevention market will result in significant additional revenues and cash flow for Registrant.


Document Security Products


From its inception until 2013, Registrant offered a line of burgundy colored papers that deter photocopying and transmission by facsimile. In addition to marketing its own technologies and products, Registrant had acted as a distributor for a line of Pantograph security paper. As a result of declining sales of Registrant’s security paper, Registrant ceased selling such products in 2013.

Marketing


Registrant’s marketing approach focuses on the sufficient flexibility in its products and technologies and its ability to provide innovative, cost effective technologies for the entertainment and toy products market as well as solutions to a wide variety of counterfeiting, diversion and copier fraud problems. As a technology company, Registrant generates revenues primarily by collecting license fees and royalties from market-specific businesses that incorporate Registrant's technologies into their products and, in certain cases, sales of Registrant’s inks to these licensees and their designated manufacturers. Registrant also licenses its technologies directly to end-users.


Registrant has identified several major markets for its technologies and products, primarily the entertainment and toy product market and the anti-counterfeiting/anti-diversion market. Registrant’s adverse financial condition in the years from 2011 to the present has limited its sales efforts to direct selling by Registrant’s personnel. Sales travel, attendance at trade shows and marketing expenditures have been constrained. Current marketing efforts are focused on Registrant’s developed technologies that can be utilized in geographic or market areas not contractually committed to an existing licensee on an exclusive basis.  


Except in Europe, Registrant markets its technologies generally through its own employees and, if feasible, through independent sales representatives. In Europe, certain of its security technologies are marketed by Contrast Technologies, formerly known as Euro-Nocopi, S.A., and a former affiliate of the Registrant, which holds certain European marketing rights with respect to those technologies.


Registrant continues its efforts to improve the marketing of its technologies. From 2011 to the current time, Registrant added to its licensee base in both the entertainment and toy products market and the retail receipt and document fraud market. Registrant, through its limited internal sales resources, continues its marketing efforts to potential customers in the anti-counterfeiting and anti-diversion marketplace and to prospective licensees in the entertainment and toy products market. There can be no assurances that the limited resources Registrant can dedicate to its marketing activities will result in significant additional revenues in the future.


Major Customers


During 2014, Registrant made sales or obtained revenues equal to 10% or more of Registrant's 2014 total revenues from two non-affiliated customers who individually accounted for approximately 47% and 19%, respectively, of 2014 revenues of the Company. During 2013, Registrant made sales or obtained revenues equal to 10% or more of Registrant's 2013 total revenues from two non-affiliated customers who individually accounted for approximately 49% and 15%, respectively, of 2013 revenues of the Company. During 2012, Registrant made sales or obtained revenues equal to 10% or more of Registrant's 2012 total revenues from five non-affiliated customers who individually accounted for approximately 20%, 19%, 16%, 14% and 10%, respectively, of 2012 revenues of the Company.


Manufacturing


Registrant has a small facility for the manufacture of its security inks. Except for this facility, Registrant does not maintain manufacturing facilities. Registrant presently subcontracts the manufacture of its applications (mainly printing and coating) to third party manufacturers and expects to continue such subcontracting. Because some of the processes that Nocopi uses in its applications are based on relatively common manufacturing technologies, there appears to be no technical or economic reason for Registrant to invest capital in its own manufacturing facilities.




4



 


Registrant has established a quality control program that currently entails laboratory analysis of developed technologies. When warranted, Registrant’s specially trained technicians travel to third party production facilities to install equipment, train client staff and monitor the manufacturing process.


Patents


Since its inception, Registrant has received various patents in the United States, Canada, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, France, the United Kingdom, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Italy, Sweden, Switzerland, Luxembourg, and Liechtenstein. Registrant currently has obtained patent protection on substantially all of its security inks including the RUB & REVEAL system and the Rub-it & Color technology. Registrant’s latest patent is on a certain newly developed technology that Registrant believes has applications in the entertainment and toy products market.


When a new product or process is developed, the developer may seek to preserve for itself the economic benefit of the product or process by applying for a patent in each jurisdiction in which the product or process is likely to be exploited. Generally speaking, in order for a patent to be granted, the product or process must be new and be inventively different from what has been previously patented or otherwise known anywhere in the world. Patents generally have a duration of twenty years from the date of application depending on the jurisdiction concerned, after which time any person is free to exploit the product or process covered by a patent. A person who is the owner of a patent has, within the jurisdiction in which the patent is granted, the exclusive right, either directly or through licensees, to prevent any person from infringing on the patent.


The granting of a patent does not prevent a third party from seeking a judicial determination that the patent is invalid. Such challenges to the validity of a patent are not uncommon and are occasionally successful. There can be no assurance that a challenge will not be filed to one or more of Registrant's patents and that, if filed, such challenge(s) will not be successful.


In the United States and some other countries, patent applications are automatically published at a specified time after filing. Nocopi is required to pay annuities from time to time on patents to keep them in force; with this in mind, Nocopi makes an annual evaluation of its patents in order to determine which patents it will continue to maintain. In Europe, the territory of Contrast Technologies, formerly known as Euro-Nocopi, S.A. (“Contrast”), annuities for European patents are paid by Contrast.


Research and Development


Registrant has been involved in research and development since its inception. Although Registrant’s financial condition has forced it to reduce funding for research and development in recent years, it intends to continue its research and development activities in three areas, to the extent feasible. First, Registrant will seek to continue to refine its present family of products. Second, Registrant will seek to develop specific customer applications. Finally, Registrant will seek to expand its technology into new areas of implementation. There can be no assurances that Registrant will continue to have funds available to maintain its research and development activities at current or increased levels.


During the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, Registrant expended approximately $121,600, $111,900 and $109,400 respectively, on research and development.


Competition


In the area of document and product authentication and serialization, Registrant is aware of other covert and overt surface marking technologies requiring decoding implements or analytical methods to reveal certain information. These technologies are offered by other companies for the same anti-counterfeiting and anti-diversion purposes for which the Registrant markets its covert technologies. These include, among others, biological DNA codes, microtaggants, thermochromic, UV and infrared inks as well as encryption, 2D symbology and laser engraving. Nonetheless, Registrant believes its patented and proprietary technologies provide a unique and cost-effective solution to the problem of counterfeiting and gray marketing in the document and product authentication markets it has traditionally sought to exploit.


The entertainment and toy products markets include numerous potential competitors who have significantly greater financial resources and presence in these markets than Registrant.




5



 


The loss prevention market includes numerous potential competitors, including large-publicly traded companies such as NCR Corporation and regional paper converters, many of whom have greater financial resources and presence in these markets than Registrant.


Registrant currently has limited resources and competes with businesses that have greater financial resources than Registrant. There can be no assurance that businesses with greater resources than Registrant will not enter Registrant’s markets and compete successfully with Registrant.


Contrast Technologies (formerly Euro-Nocopi, S.A.)


Contrast Technologies, formerly known as Euro-Nocopi, S.A., is a former affiliate of Registrant which, since June 2003, has held a perpetual royalty-free license to exploit certain of Registrant’s technologies in Europe.


Employees


At August 15, 2015, Registrant had three full-time and two part-time employees.


Financial Information about Foreign and Domestic Operations


Registrant conducts its operations solely in the United States; however, it does have licensees and customers in Asia. These licensees and customers accounted for approximately 48% of Registrant’s gross revenues in 2014, approximately 51% in 2013 and approximately 15% in 2012. Certain information concerning Registrant's foreign and domestic operations is contained in Note 13 to Registrant's Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.


ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS


Not required for a smaller reporting company.


ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS


None.


ITEM 2. PROPERTIES


Registrant's corporate headquarters, research and ink production facilities are located at 480 Shoemaker Road, Suite 104, King of Prussia, Pennsylvania 19406. Its telephone number is (610) 834-9600. These premises consist of approximately 6,100 square feet of space in a multi-tenant building leased by the Registrant from an unaffiliated third party pursuant to a lease that commenced in January 2014 and expires in April 2019. Current monthly rent under this lease is $3,676; this amount escalates an amount of approximately three percent each year. In addition to rent, Registrant is responsible for its pro-rata share of the operating costs of the building. Registrant incurred leasehold improvement expenditures of approximately $19,700 through March 15, 2015. Registrant believes that additional leasehold improvement expenditures will not be significant. Registrant believes that this space will be adequate for its current needs and that additional space will be available as needed.


ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS


Registrant is not aware of any pending litigation (other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to its business where, in management's view, the amount involved is not material) to which Registrant is or may be a party, or to which any of its properties is or may be subject, nor is it aware of any pending or contemplated proceedings against it by any governmental authority. Registrant knows of no material legal proceedings pending or threatened, or judgments entered against, any director or officer of Registrant in his capacity as such.


ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES

As of August 15, 2015, 58,599,016 shares of Registrant's Common Stock were outstanding. The number of holders of record of Registrant's Common Stock was approximately 600. However, Registrant estimates that it has a significantly greater number of common stockholders because a number of shares of Registrant's Common Stock are held of record by broker-dealers for their customers in street name. In addition to the 58,599,016 shares of Common Stock which are outstanding, Registrant, at August 15, 2015, has reserved for the issuance of approximately 5,847,000 shares of its Common Stock which underlie warrants to purchase Common Stock of the Registrant and the conversion of convertible debentures and interest into Common Stock of the Registrant.


The Company did not pay dividends in 2014, 2013 or 2012 and does not anticipate paying any such dividends in the foreseeable future. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors and will be dependent upon the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors deemed relevant by the Board of Directors.

Introduction


This Comprehensive Form 10-K includes, in one comprehensive filing, the business and financial information for the Company for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012. Therefore, this Management’s Discussion and Analysis provides an analysis of the annual financial condition and results of operations for each of the years ended December 31, 2012, 2013 and 2014. The Financial Statements and Supplementary Data include summarized quarterly financial condition and results of operations for each of the quarters ended June 30 and September 30, 2012 and for each of the quarters ended March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2013 and 2014. This review should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, which are included in Item 8 of this Comprehensive Form 10-K.


Results of Operations


The Company’s revenues are derived from royalties paid by licensees of the Company’s technologies, fees for the provision of technical services to licensees and from the direct sale of (i) products incorporating the Company’s technologies, such as inks, security paper and pressure sensitive labels, and (ii) equipment used to support the application of the Company’s technologies, such as ink-jet printing systems. Royalties consist of guaranteed minimum royalties payable by the Company’s licensees in certain cases and additional royalties which typically vary with the licensee’s sales or production of products incorporating the licensed technology. Service fees and sales revenues vary directly with the number of units of service or product provided.


The Company recognizes revenue on its lines of business as follows:


a)

License fees and royalties are recognized when the license term begins. Upon inception of the license term, revenue is recognized in a manner consistent with the nature of the transaction and the earnings process, which generally is ratably over the license term;

b)

Product sales are recognized upon shipment of products, when the price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured; and

c)

Fees for technical services are recognized when (i) the service has been rendered; (ii) an arrangement exists; (iii) the price is fixed or determinable based upon a per diem or hourly rate; and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.


The Company believes that, as fixed cost reductions beyond those it has achieved in recent years may not be achievable, its operating results are substantially dependent on revenue levels. Because revenues derived from licenses and royalties carry a much higher gross profit margin than other revenues, operating results are also substantially affected by changes in revenue mix.


Both the absolute amount of the Company’s revenues and the mix among the various sources of revenue are subject to substantial fluctuation. The Company has a relatively small number of substantial customers rather than a large number of small customers. Accordingly, changes in the revenue received from a significant customer can have a substantial effect on the Company’s total revenue, revenue mix and overall financial performance. Such changes may result from a customer’s product development delays, engineering changes, changes in product marketing strategies, production requirements and the like. In addition, certain customers have, from time to time, sought to renegotiate certain provisions of their license agreements and, when the Company agrees to revise such terms, revenues from the customer may be affected.

Comparison of the Years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013


Revenues for 2014 were $922,800, an increase of approximately 23%, or $172,600, from $750,200 in 2013. Licenses, royalties and fees increased in 2014 by approximately 22%, or $63,700, to $358,800 from $295,100 in 2013. The increase in licenses, royalties and fees is due primarily to higher licensing revenues from a licensee in the entertainment and toy products market whose license commenced in 2012 and initial licensing revenues received from a new licensee in the entertainment and toy products market whose license commenced in 2013 offset in part by lower royalties and consulting revenues from certain licensees and consulting clients. There can be no assurances that the marketing and product development activities of the Company’s licensees or other businesses in the entertainment and toy products market will produce a significant increase in revenues for the Company, nor can the timing of any potential revenue increases be predicted, particularly given the uncertain economic conditions being experienced worldwide. During 2013, the technology covered under an expired license was licensed to an existing licensee in the entertainment and toy products market. As this licensee spent the years 2013 and 2014 in the development of its product offering utilizing this technology, no royalties were generated by this licensee for this technology during those two years. The Company believes the licensee will introduce products incorporating this technology in 2015. Product and other sales increased by $108,900, or approximately 24%, to $564,000 in 2014 from $455,100 in 2013. The higher level of ink sales in 2014 compared to 2013 is due primarily to higher ink requirements of the licensed third party printers used by the Company’s licensees in the entertainment and toy products market. Sales of ink to the licensed printers of its licensees in the entertainment and toy products market were approximately $65,100 higher in 2014 compared to 2013. Sales of security ink to the Company’s licensees in the retail receipt and document fraud market increased by approximately $44,000 in 2014 compared to 2013. The Company derived $699,400 or approximately 76% of total revenues, from licensees and their licensed printers in the entertainment and toy products market in 2014 compared to $552,800 or approximately 74% of total revenues, in 2013. The Company’s licensees in the entertainment and toy products market continue to develop new products for this market and improve their current offerings; however, their sales will be affected by marketplace reaction to the new and improved products, economic conditions that influence this market segment and the economy as a whole. Revenues that the Company derives from these licensees will be similarly affected. There can be no assurances that the marketing and product development activities of licensees in the entertainment and toy products market will produce increased revenues for the Company in future periods, nor can the timing of any potential revenue increases be predicted, particularly given the uncertain economic conditions currently being experienced worldwide.


Gross profit increased to $598,500, or approximately 65% of revenues, in 2014 from $464,700, or approximately 62% of revenues, in 2013. Licenses, royalties and fees have historically carried a higher gross profit than product sales, which generally consist of supplies or other manufactured products that incorporate the Company’s technologies or equipment used to support the application of its technologies. These items (except for inks which are manufactured by the Company) are generally purchased from third-party vendors and resold to the end-user or licensee and carry a lower gross profit than licenses, royalties and fees. The higher gross profit in 2014 compared to 2013 reflects higher product sales along with a favorable mix of product sales and higher licenses, royalties and fees.


As the variable component of cost of revenues related to licenses, royalties and fees is a low percentage of these revenues and the fixed component is not substantial, period to period changes in revenues from licenses, royalties and fees can significantly affect both gross profit from licenses, royalties and fees as well as overall gross profit. Due primarily to the higher revenues in 2014 compared to 2013, the gross profit from licenses, royalties and fees increased to approximately 79% of revenues from licenses, royalties and fees in 2014 from approximately 77% in 2013.


Gross profit, expressed as a percentage of revenues, of product and other sales is dependent on both the overall sales volumes of product and other sales and on the mix of the specific goods produced and/or sold. As a result of both increased ink sales and favorable product mix, the gross profit from product and other sales increased to approximately 56% of revenues in 2014 compared to approximately 52% of revenues from product and other sales in 2013.


Research and development expenses were $121,600 in 2014 compared to $111,900 in 2013. The increase in 2014 compared to 2013 resulted primarily from higher employee salary and benefit expenses in 2014 compared to 2013.


Sales and marketing expenses of $194,500 in 2014 compared to $170,500 in 2013. The increase in 2014 compared to 2013 resulted primarily from higher commission expense in 2014 compared to 2013 resulting from a higher level of revenues in 2014 compared to 2013 and higher travel related expenses in 2014 compared to 2013.


General and administrative expenses increased to $253,400 in 2014 from $195,200 in 2013. The increase in 2014 compared 2013 is due primarily to higher employment and audit related expenses offset in part by lower legal expenses in 2014 compared to 2013. During 2014, the Company began the process of preparing the delinquent securities reports required by the SEC and therefore incurred higher officer compensation and audit expenses compared to the prior year.

Other income (expenses) in 2014 and 2013 included interest on funds borrowed under the Company’s promissory note with a bank, on unsecured loans from five individuals and on convertible notes issued in 2013 and 2014. Also included in other income (expenses) are financing costs incurred in 2013 related to warrants issued in conjunction with an unsecured loan received during that year. Other income (expenses) included, in 2013, the reversal of approximately $39,500 of accounts payable related to invoices received during 2009 from a professional services business that provided consulting services to the Company that the Company, with legal counsel, has determined to be no longer statutorily payable as the statute of limitations to bring a claim has expired.


The net income of $7,700 in 2014 compared to $10,300 in 2013 resulted primarily from a higher gross profit on a higher level of revenues in 2014 compared to 2013 offset in part by higher overhead expenses in 2014 compared 2013. Additionally, the Company did not record any income related to the reversal of accounts payable in 2014.


Management of the Company does not believe that inflation and changing prices have had a significant effect on its revenues and results of operations during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.


Comparison of the Years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012


Revenues for 2013 were $750,200, an increase of approximately 18%, or $113,200, from $637,000 in 2012. Licenses, royalties and fees decreased in 2013 by approximately 29%, or $119,800, to $295,100 from $414,900 in 2012. During 2012, the Company’s multi-year license with a licensee in the entertainment and toy products market terminated and, as a result, no licensing fee revenue was received from this licensee in 2013. During 2013, the technology covered under this expired license was licensed to an existing licensee in the entertainment and toy products market. As this licensee spent the years 2013 and 2014 in the development of its product offering utilizing this technology, no royalties were generated by this licensee for this technology during those two years. The Company believes the licensee will introduce products incorporating this technology in 2015. In the first quarter of 2012, the Company completed multi-year license agreements and recorded initial royalty revenue from two new licensees in the entertainment and toy products market, one of whom acquired, in 2011, an operating division of a licensee that utilized a technology license with the Company and, with the Company’s consent, assigned the technology license to the purchaser. In January 2012, the Company negotiated a new six-year license, containing guaranteed royalties for 2012, with the purchaser of the license which permits this licensee exclusively to market a specific line of products incorporating the Company’s technologies through a specific distribution channel but permitting the Company to license the covered technologies to others for applications and sale through channels of distribution not available to this licensee under the terms of the new license. In 2013, the royalties generated by this licensee were significantly lower than the guaranteed royalties that were realized in 2012. In February 2012, the Company negotiated a license, expiring in 2015 and containing guaranteed minimum royalties over the term of the license, with another new licensee who also has a significant presence in the entertainment and toy products market that permits this licensee to exclusively market products with other characteristics that incorporate the Company’s technologies through a distinctly different channel of distribution. Royalties received in 2013 from this licensee were higher than the royalties received in 2012. These two licensees are well known and highly regarded participants in the entertainment and toy products market with significantly greater market recognition and retail distribution in this market than the licensee who previously held the license for these specific technologies. Additionally, the Company received lower royalty fees from the Company’s licensees in the retail receipt and document fraud market. Product and other sales increased by $233,000, or approximately 105%, to $455,100 in 2013 from $222,100 in 2012. The higher level of ink sales in 2013 compared to 2012 is due primarily to significantly higher ink requirements of the licensed third party printers used by the Company’s licensees in the entertainment and toy products market. Ink orders from the licensed printers of its licensees in the entertainment and toy products market were approximately $283,900 higher in 2013 compared to 2012. Sales of security ink to the Company’s licensees in the retail receipt and document fraud market declined by approximately $51,800 in 2013 compared to 2012. The Company derived $552,800 or approximately 74% of total revenues, from licensees and their licensed printers in the entertainment and toy products market in 2013 compared to $422,100 or approximately 66% of total revenues, in 2012. The Company’s licensees in the entertainment and toy products market continue to develop new products for this market and improve their current offerings; however, their sales will be affected by marketplace reaction to the new and improved products, economic conditions that influence this market segment and the economy as a whole. Revenues that the Company derives from these licensees will be similarly affected. There can be no assurances that the marketing and product development activities of licensees in the entertainment and toy products market will produce increased revenues for the Company in future periods, nor can the timing of any potential revenue increases be predicted.

Gross profit increased to $464,700, or approximately 62% of revenues, in 2013 from $435,000, or approximately 68% of revenues, in 2012. Licenses, royalties and fees have historically carried a higher gross profit than product and other sales, which generally consist of supplies or other manufactured products that incorporate the Company’s technologies or equipment used to support the application of its technologies. These items (except for inks which are manufactured by the Company) are generally purchased from third-party vendors and resold to the end-user or licensee and carry a lower gross profit than licenses, royalties and fees. The higher gross profit in 2013 compared to 2012 reflects higher product and other sales along with a favorable mix of product and other sales offset in part by lower licenses, royalties and fees.


As the variable component of cost of revenues related to licenses, royalties and fees is a low percentage of these revenues and the fixed component is not substantial, period to period changes in revenues from licenses, royalties and fees can significantly affect both gross profit from licenses, royalties and fees as well as overall gross profit. Due primarily to the lower revenues in 2013 compared to 2012, the gross profit from licenses, royalties and fees decreased to approximately 77% of revenues from licenses, royalties and fees in 2013 from approximately 87% in 2012.


Gross profit, expressed as a percentage of revenues, of product and other sales is dependent on both the overall sales volumes of product and other sales and on the mix of the specific goods produced and/or sold. As a result of both increased ink sales and favorable product mix, the gross profit from product and other sales increased to approximately 52% of revenues in 2013 compared to approximately 33% of revenues from product and other sales in 2012.


Research and development expenses of $111,900 in 2013 were comparable to $109,400 in 2012.


Sales and marketing expenses of $170,500 in 2013 were comparable to $167,400 in 2012.


General and administrative expenses decreased to $195,200 in 2013 from $302,000 in 2012. The decrease in 2013 compared to 2012 is due primarily to lower salaries, professional fees and public company related expenses in 2013 compared to 2012 as officer compensation and audit expenses declined during 2013 compared to 2012 as the Company, during the period of adverse liquidity that began in 2012, did not prepare and file the annual and three quarterly reports required by the SEC during the year ended December 31, 2013.


Other income (expenses) includes, in 2013, the reversal of approximately $39,500 of accounts payable related to invoices received during 2009 from a professional services business that provided consulting services to the Company that the Company, with legal counsel, has determined to be no longer statutorily payable as the statute of limitations to bring a claim has expired and, in 2012, the reversal of approximately $7,800 of accounts payable related to invoices received during 2002 from a professional services business that provided legal services to the Company that the Company, with legal counsel, has determined to be no longer statutorily payable as the statute of limitations to bring a claim has expired. Additionally, other income (expenses) includes interest on funds borrowed under the Company’s promissory note with a bank, on unsecured loans from five individuals and, in 2013, on convertible debentures held by seven investors. Also included in other income (expenses) are financing costs related to warrants issued in 2013 and 2012 in conjunction with unsecured loans received during those periods.


The net income of $10,300 in 2013 compared to the net loss of $146,100 in 2012 was due primarily to higher gross profits on the higher level of revenues, lower compensation expense and professional fees and the reversal of accounts payable that are no longer statutorily payable offset in part by higher interest expense and financing cost.


Management of the Company does not believe that inflation and changing prices have had a significant effect on its revenues and results of operations during the years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Comparison of the Years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011


Revenues for 2012 were $637,000, a decrease of approximately 11%, or $76,500, from $713,500 in 2011. Licenses, royalties and fees increased in 2012 by approximately 11%, or $41,700, to $414,900 from $373,200 in 2011. The increase in licenses, royalties and fees is due primarily to higher licensing revenues from a 2010 licensee in the entertainment and toy products market offset in part by lower royalties from the Company’s three US licensees in the retail receipt and document fraud market and lower royalties from a licensee in the entertainment and toy products market. In the first quarter of 2012, the Company completed multi-year license agreements and recorded initial royalty revenue from two new licensees in the entertainment and toy products market, one of whom acquired, in 2011, an operating division of a licensee that utilized a technology license with the Company and, with the Company’s consent, assigned the technology license to the purchaser. In January 2012, the Company negotiated a new six-year license, containing guaranteed royalties for 2012, with the purchaser of the license which permits this licensee exclusively to market a specific line of products incorporating the Company’s technologies through a specific distribution channel but permitting the Company to license the covered technologies to others for applications and sale through channels of distribution not available to this licensee under the terms of the new license. In February 2012, the Company negotiated a license, expiring in 2015 and containing guaranteed minimum royalties over the term of the license, with another new licensee who also has a significant presence in the entertainment and toy products market that permits this licensee to exclusively market products with other characteristics that incorporate the Company’s technologies through a distinctly different channel of distribution. These two licensees are well known and highly regarded participants in the entertainment and toy products market with significantly greater market recognition and retail distribution in this market than the licensee who previously held the license for these specific technologies. There can be no assurances that the marketing and product development activities of the Company’s licensees or other businesses in the entertainment and toy products market will produce a significant increase in revenues for the Company nor can the timing of any potential revenue increases be predicted.


Product and other sales decreased by $118,200, or approximately 35%, to $222,100 in 2012 from $340,300 in 2011. Sales of ink decreased in 2012 compared to 2011 due to lower ink shipments to the third party authorized printers used by the Company’s three major licensees in the entertainment and toy products market in 2012 compared to 2011 lower ink sales to the Company’s licensees in the retail receipt and document fraud market in 2012 compared to 2011. Additionally, in 2011, the operating division in South America of an international customer of the Company received a second shipment of entertainment and toy products that incorporate the Company’s technologies. There were no sales to this business in 2012. The Company derived revenues of approximately $422,100 from licensees, their authorized printers and its customers in the entertainment and toy products market in 2012 compared to revenues of approximately $429,600 in 2011.


Gross profit decreased to $435,000 in 2012, or approximately 68% of revenues, from $451,100 in 2011, or approximately 63% of revenues. Licenses, royalties and fees have historically carried a higher gross profit than product and other sales. Such other sales generally consist of supplies or other manufactured products which incorporate the Company’s technologies or equipment used to support the application of its technologies. These items (except for inks which are manufactured by the Company) are generally purchased from third-party vendors and resold to the end-user or licensee and carry a lower gross profit than licenses, royalties and fees. The higher gross profit percentage in 2012 compared to 2011 results primarily from higher gross revenues from licenses, royalties and fees in 2012 compared to 2011.


As the variable component of cost of revenues related to licenses, royalties and fees is a low percentage of these revenues and the fixed component is not substantial, period to period changes in revenues from licenses, royalties and fees can significantly affect both the gross profit from licenses, royalties and fees as well as overall gross profit. Primarily due to the increase in revenues from licenses, royalties and fees in 2012 compared to the third quarter of 2011, gross profit from licenses, royalties and fees increased to approximately 87% of revenues from licenses, royalties and fees in 2012 from approximately 84% in 2011.


The gross profit, expressed as a percentage of revenues, of product and other sales is dependent on both the overall sales volumes of product and other sales and on the mix of the specific goods produced and/or sold. In 2012, the gross profit, expressed as a percentage of revenues, decreased to approximately 33% of revenues from product and other sales compared to approximately 40% of revenues from product and other sales in 2011 due primarily to lower sales of these products in 2012 compared to 2011.


Research and development expenses of $109,400 in 2012 were comparable to $113,700 in 2011.


Sales and marketing expenses of $167,400 in 2012 were comparable to $167,300 in 2011.

General and administrative expenses declined to $302,000 in 2012 from $353,800 in 2011. The decrease in 2012 compared to 2011 is due primarily to lower compensation expense incurred in 2012 as required SEC reports for the quarters ended June 30 and September 30 2012 were not filed a result of the Company’s adverse liquidity that began in the second half of 2012 as well as lower professional fees, insurance costs and patent related expenses in 2012 compared to 2011.


Other income (expenses) included, in 2012, the reversal of approximately $7,800 of accounts payable related to invoices received during 2002 from a professional services business that provided legal services to the Company that the Company, with legal counsel, has determined to be no longer statutorily payable as the statute of limitations to bring a claim has expired. Other income (expenses) included, in 2011, (i) a license transfer fee of $60,000, net of commission expense of $6,000, received in connection with the sale by a licensee in the entertainment and toy products market of an operating division that included, with the Company’s consent, assignment of the technology license with the Company to another business in the entertainment and toy products market during the third quarter of 2011; (ii) the reversal of approximately $74,700 of accounts payable and related accrued expenses related to invoices received during 2001 from a professional services business that provided legal services to the Company that the Company, with legal counsel, has determined to be no longer statutorily payable as the statute of limitations to bring a claim has expired; and (iii) the reversal of a total of $38,000 of accrued expenses related to (x) potential reimbursement of expenses to members of a group who in 1999 succeeded in electing four members to the Company’s Board of Directors and (y) the purchase of equipment in 2007 for which an invoice was never submitted by the supplier that the Company, with legal counsel, has determined to be no longer statutorily payable as the applicable statutes of limitations to bring such claims have expired. Additionally, other income (expenses) includes interest on funds borrowed under the Company’s promissory note with a bank and on unsecured loans from six individuals. Also included in other income (expenses) are financing costs related to warrants issued in 2012 and 2011 primarily in conjunction with unsecured loans received during those periods.


The net loss of $146,100 in 2012 compared to the net loss of $27,300 in 2011 resulted in part from lower overhead expenses offset in part by a lower gross profit on a lower level of revenues in those years. Additionally, there was no technology license transfer fee in 2012 as there was in 2011. In 2011, there were reversals of $112,700 of accounts payable and accrued expenses that were no longer statutorily payable compared to a reversal of accounts payable of $7,800 in 2012.


Management of the Company does not believe that inflation and changing prices have had a significant effect on its revenues and results of operations during the years ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.


Plan of Operation, Liquidity and Capital Resources


The Company’s cash was $28,000 at December 31, 2014, $52,900 at December 31, 2013 and $20,600 at December 31, 2012. During 2014, the Company’s had positive cash flow of $14,500 from its operating activities, used $20,600 for purchases of leasehold improvements and capital equipment, received $5,000 from the sale of convertible debentures, repaid $5,000 to two individual lenders and repaid the $18,800 remaining balance of its promissory note with a bank. During 2013, the Company used $48,900 in its operating activities, purchased $1,800 of capital equipment, received $105,000 from the sale of convertible debentures, borrowed $3,000 from an individual and repaid $25,000 of its promissory note with a bank. During 2012, The Company used $34,300 in its operating activities, borrowed $49,500 from two individuals and repaid $2,500 of the amounts borrowed, received $10,000 from the sale of 208,334 shares if its Common Stock and repaid $25,000 of its promissory note with a bank.


In 2014 and 2013, the Company’s revenues increased primarily as a result of sales of ink to the licensed printers of the Company’s licensees in the entertainment and toy products market and license fees generated from a license signed in 2012 with a licensee in the entertainment and toy products market. Primarily as a result of higher revenues, favorable product mix, lower compensation expense and professional fees and the reversal of certain liabilities the Company recorded net income of $7,700 and $10,300 in the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company had positive operating cash flow of $14,500 in the year ended December 31, 2014 and negative operating cash flow of $48,900 in the year ended December 31, 2013. At December 31, 2014, the Company had negative working capital of $424,500 and a stockholders’ deficiency of $438,200. At December 31, 2013, the Company had negative working capital of $350,600 and stockholders’ deficiency of $447,800. For the full year of 2012, the Company had a net loss of $146,100 and had negative operating cash flow of $34,300 during the year. At December 31, 2012, the Company had negative working capital of $467,200 and stockholders’ deficiency of $466,600.

During 2010, the Company accepted an offer by a bank to repay the then outstanding balance of $100,000 under its line of credit, received in 2008, with that bank in forty-eight equal monthly installments, plus interest, beginning in October 2010. The remaining outstanding balance was repaid in July 2014. During 2012 and 2013, the Company received unsecured loans totaling $52,500 from two individuals. Through December 31, 2014, the Company repaid $7,500 of $96,500 in unsecured loans borrowed from five individuals, converted $1,500 of the principal of the unsecured loans and approximately $1,200 of accrued interest into 44,216 shares of its common stock and exchanged $24,500 of the principal of the unsecured loans and approximately $3,800 of accrued interest for convertible debentures totaling approximately $28,300. In 2014 and 2013, the Company raised $110,000 through the sale of convertible debentures to eight investors. Additionally, in 2012, the Company raised $10,000 through the sale of 208,334 shares of its common stock. These borrowings and sales of common stock have allowed the Company to remain in operation through the current date.


Management of the Company believes that it may need to obtain additional capital in the future to support the working capital requirements associated with its existing revenue base and to fund potential operating losses that it believes may occur as the state of the worldwide economy remains uncertain. There can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in obtaining sufficient additional capital, or if it does, that the additional capital will enable the Company operate profitably in the future and develop new revenue sources to have a material positive effect on the Company’s operations and cash flow. The Company believes that without additional investment, it may be forced to cease operations at an undetermined time in the future.


There can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in obtaining additional investment. There can be no assurances that revenues in future periods will be sustained at levels that will allow it to achieve and maintain positive cash flow.


The Company continues to maintain a cost containment program including curtailment, where possible, of discretionary research and development and sales and marketing expenses.


The Company’s plan of operation for the twelve months beginning with the date of this annual report consists of concentrating available human and financial resources to continue to capitalize on the specific business relationships the Company has developed in the entertainment and toy products market including two licensees with significant presences in the entertainment and toy products market who have been marketing products incorporating the Company’s technologies since 2012. These two licensees in the entertainment and toy products market are well known and highly regarded participants in this market with very significant market recognition and retail distribution in this market. In 2013, the Company licensed a technology that had previously been licensed to a separate business to one of these two businesses in the entertainment and toy products market and believes that the initial introduction of products incorporating the Company’s technologies will occur in 2015. The Company has three additional licensees who currently market products in three specific segments of the entertainment and toy products market. The Company plans to continue developing applications for these licensees while expanding its licensee base in the entertainment and toy market. Additionally, the Company believes that revenue growth in the retail loss prevention market can be achieved through increased security ink sales to its licensees in this market. The Company will continue to adjust its production and technical staff as necessary. The Company will also, subject to available financial resources, invest in capital equipment needed to support potential growth in ink production requirements beyond its current capacity. Additionally, the Company will pursue opportunities to market its current technologies in specific security and non-security markets. There can be no assurances that these efforts will enable the Company to generate additional revenues and positive cash flow.


The Company has received and continues to seek additional capital, in the form of debt, equity or both, to support its working capital requirements. There can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in raising additional capital, or that such additional capital, if obtained, will enable the Company to generate additional revenues and positive cash flow.


The Company generates a significant portion of its total revenues from licensees in the entertainment and toy products market. These licensees generally sell their products through retail outlets. During the year, such sales may be adversely affected by changes in consumer spending that may occur as a result of an uncertain economic environment. As a result, the Company’s revenues, results of operations and liquidity may be negatively impacted as they were in previous years.

Risk Factors


The Company’s operating results, financial condition and stock price are subject to certain risks, some of which are beyond its control. These risks could cause the Company’s actual operating and financial results to differ materially from those expressed in its forward looking statements, including the risks described below and the risks identified in other documents which are filed and furnished with the SEC:


Limited Interim Historical Information. This comprehensive annual report on Form 10-K contains summarized quarterly financial information for each of the quarters ended June 30 and September 30, 2012 and for each of the quarters ended March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2013 and 2014. As the complete periodic filings for those periods have not been filed, certain financial information, disclosures and discussions normally contained in a Form 10-Q are not included in this Form 10-K. The omission of the information that would have been contained in these periodic filings leaves current and prospective investors, customers, employees and others without this source of information about the Company’s business achievements and prospects and may negatively impact the Company’s business opportunities and its ability to raise capital. There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to remain current with its required SEC filing obligations in the future.


Access to Capital. The Company anticipates that it may need to raise capital in the future to fund its historical and new business operations. Negative or uncertain global economic conditions could make it more difficult for the Company to raise capital. If the Company is unable to secure capital, if needed, in the future, in the form of debt, equity or both, it may be forced to cease operations. There can be no assurances that, if required, the Company will be successful in obtaining additional investment in sufficient amounts to fund its ongoing business operations.


Dependency on Major Customers. The Company is dependent on its licensees to develop new products and markets that will generate increases in its licensing and product revenues. The inability of the Company’s licensees to maintain at least current levels of sales of products utilizing the Company’s technologies could adversely affect the Company’s operating results and cash flow. To the extent that the Company’s licensees are adversely affected by negative economic conditions, the Company’s revenues may also be negatively impacted. The Company has derived a significant percentage of its revenues through licensing relationships with two major customers. Revenues obtained directly from these customers and indirectly, through the customers’ third party licensed printer, equaled approximately 68% of the Company’s revenues in 2014. The Company also has, from time to time, substantial receivables from these businesses. The Company has a license agreement containing guaranteed minimum royalties expiring in 2019 with one of these two licensees and a license with the second that expires in 2017. Products incorporating the Company’s technologies that are sold by these two licensees have certain dissimilar characteristics and are marketed generally through distinctly different channels of distribution. These two licensees are well known and highly regarded participants in the entertainment and toy products market. The agreements with both licensees contain renewal options but there can be no assurances that the licenses will continue in force at the same or more favorable terms beyond their current termination dates, nor can there be any assurances that the relationships with these two new licensees will generate increased revenues for the Company in the future.


Possible Inability to Develop New Business. While the Company raised cash through additional capital investment, sales of convertible debentures and loans from individuals in 2012, 2013 and 2014, it limited increases in its operating expenses, reduced its operating expenses when possible and deferred payment of certain obligations to employees and service providers. Management of the Company believes that any significant improvement in the Company’s cash flow must result from increases in revenues from traditional sources and from new revenue sources. The Company’s ability to develop new revenues may depend on the extent of both its marketing activities and its research and development activities, both of which are limited. There are no assurances that the resources that the Company can devote to marketing and to research and development will be sufficient to increase its revenues to levels that will enable it to return to and maintain positive operating cash flow in the future.


Inability to Obtain Raw Materials and Products for Resale. The Company’s adverse financial condition has required it from time to time to significantly defer payments due to (i) vendors who supply raw materials and other components of its security inks, (ii) providers of professional and other services and (iii) certain employees to whom salary and sales commissions are owed. As a result, the Company is required to pay cash in advance of shipment to certain of its suppliers. The inability to obtain materials on a timely basis and the possibility that certain vendors may permanently discontinue supplying the Company with needed products and services may result in delayed shipments to customers and further impact the Company’s ability to service its customers, thereby adversely affecting the Company’s relationships with its customers and licensees. There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to maintain its vendor relationships in an acceptable manner.

Uneven Pattern of Quarterly and Annual Operating Results. The Company’s revenues, which are derived primarily from licensing and sales of products incorporating its technologies as well as royalties from these products, are difficult to forecast; such forecasting difficulty is due to, among other reasons, the long sales cycle of the Company’s technologies, the potential for customer delay or deferral of implementation of the Company’s technologies, the size and timing of inception of individual license agreements, the success of the Company’s licensees and strategic partners in exploiting the market for the licensed products, modifications of customer budgets, and uneven patterns of royalty revenue and product orders. As the Company’s revenue base is not substantial, delays in the finalization of license contracts, the implementation of the technology to initiate the revenue stream and the ordering decisions of customers can have a material adverse effect on the Company’s quarterly and annual revenue expectations. As the Company’s operating expenses are substantially fixed, income expectations will be subject to a similar adverse outcome. As licensees for the entertainment and toy products markets are added, the predictability of the Company’s revenue stream may be further impacted.


Volatility of Stock Price. The market price for the Company’s common stock has historically experienced significant fluctuations and may continue to do so. With the exception of 2007, 2013 and 2014 from its inception, the Company has operated at a loss and has not produced revenue levels traditionally associated with publicly-traded companies. The Company’s common stock is not listed on a national or regional securities exchange and, consequently, the Company receives limited publicity regarding its business achievements and prospects. Additionally, securities analysts and traders do not extensively follow the Company’s stock and its stock is thinly traded. The Company’s market price may be affected by announcements of new relationships or modifications to existing relationships. The stock prices of many developing public companies, particularly those with small capitalizations, have experienced wide fluctuations not necessarily related to operating performance. Such fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of the Company’s common stock.


Intellectual Property. The Company relies on a combination of protections provided under applicable international patent, trademark and trade secret laws. The Company also relies on confidentiality, non-analysis and licensing agreements to establish and protect its rights in its proprietary technologies. While the Company actively attempts to protect these rights, its technologies may be compromised through reverse engineering or other means. In addition, the Company’s ability to enforce its intellectual property rights through appropriate legal action has been and will continue to be limited by its adverse liquidity. There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to protect the basis of its technologies from discovery by unauthorized third parties or to preclude unauthorized persons from conducting activities that infringe on the Company’s rights. The Company’s adverse liquidity situation also impacts its ability to obtain patent protection on its intellectual property and to maintain protection on previously issued patents. There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to continue to prosecute new patents and maintain issued patents. As a result, the Company’s customer and licensee relationships could be adversely affected, and the value of the Company’s technologies and intellectual property (including their value upon liquidation) could be substantially diminished.


Economic Conditions. The Company’s revenue is susceptible to changes in general economic conditions. The Company’s sales, liquidity and overall results of operations may be negatively affected by decreasing consumer confidence, slowdowns in consumer spending or other downturns in the U.S. economy as a whole or in any geographic markets from which the Company derives revenue. In addition, these factors may result in decreased customer and licensee demand for the Company’s products and may negatively impact the Company’s ability to develop new customers and licensees. Due to uncertainties surrounding the worldwide economy, the Company is unable to predict the effect of such conditions on its customers and licensees. Consequently, the Company cannot predict the scope or magnitude of the negative effect resulting from ongoing global financial uncertainties or economic slowdowns.


Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


Disclosure Controls and Procedures


The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that material information required to be included in its periodic SEC reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the relevant SEC rules and forms. The Company has carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded, as of the end of the period covered by this report, that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.


Internal Control over Financial Reporting


Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Internal control over financial reporting is a process to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Internal control over financial reporting includes maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company, provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only with management authorization and provide reasonable assurance that unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of Company assets that could have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements would be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements in the Company’s financial statements on a timely basis.



19



 


Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in “Internal Control-Integrated Framework (1992).” Based on this assessment, management believes that, as of December 31, 2014, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective.


This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. The attestation report requirement for non-accelerated filers was permanently removed from the Sarbanes-Oxley Act by Section 989C of the Dodd-Frank Act as adopted by the SEC.


Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting


There have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.


ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION


None.

The Company has established a standing audit committee in accordance with Section 3(a) (58) (A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that makes recommendations to the Company’s Board of Directors regarding the selection of an independent registered public accounting firm, reviews the results and scope of the Company’s audits and other accounting-related services and reviews and evaluates the Company’s internal control functions. The audit committee does not presently have a written charter. The audit committee is comprised of Michael A. Feinstein, M.D., its Chairman of the Board, and Herman M. Gerwitz, CPA. The Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Gerwitz is an “audit committee financial expert” as currently defined under the SEC rules implementing Section 407 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002 and that Mr. Gerwitz meets the criteria for independence as defined by the SEC.


Code of Ethics


The Company has adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to its Principal Executive Officer, Principal Financial Officer, Principal Accounting Officer and persons performing similar functions. A copy of the Company’s Code of Ethics is incorporated by reference to Exhibit 14.1 of this report on Form 10-K.


Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance


Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s executive officers and directors and any persons who beneficially own more than 10% of its Common Stock (collectively, “Reporting Persons”) to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Reporting Persons are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

Based solely on the Company’s review of the copies of any Section 16(a) forms received by it, the Company believes that with respect to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, all Reporting Persons complied with all applicable filing requirements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



To the Stockholders and Board of Directors

of Nocopi Technologies, Inc.

King of Prussia, Pennsylvania


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Nocopi Technologies, Inc. as of December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' deficiency, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2014. Nocopi Technologies, Inc.’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.


We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Nocopi Technologies, Inc. at December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2014 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company continues to have a working capital deficit which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to this matter are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOCOPI TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012


1.  Organization of the Company


Nocopi Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) is organized under the laws of the State of Maryland. Its main business activities are the development and distribution of document security products and the licensing of its patented reactive ink technologies for the Entertainment and Toy and the Document and Product Authentication markets in the United States and foreign countries. The Company operates in one principal industry segment.


2. Significant Accounting Policies


Financial Statement Presentation - Amounts included in the accompanying financial statements have been rounded to the nearest hundred, except for number of shares and per share information.


Estimates - The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the dates of financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


Cash consists of demand deposits with a major U.S. bank.


Accounts receivable and credit policies - Accounts receivable are uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms requiring payment within 30 days from the invoice date. Accounts receivable are stated at the amount billed to the customer. Customer account balances with invoices dated over 90 days old are considered delinquent.


The carrying amount of accounts receivable is reduced by an allowance that reflects management's best estimate of the amounts that will not be collected. Management individually reviews all accounts receivable balances that exceed 90 days from invoice date and based on an assessment of current creditworthiness, estimates the portion, if any, of the balance that will not be collected.


Inventory consists primarily of ink components and is stated at the lower of cost (determined by the first-in, first-out method) or market.


Fixed assets are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Furniture, fixtures and equipment are generally depreciated on the straight-line method over their estimated service lives. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of five years or the term of the lease. Major renovations and betterments are capitalized. Maintenance, repairs and minor items are expensed as incurred. Upon disposal, assets and related depreciation are removed from the accounts and the net amount, less proceeds from disposal, is charged or credited to income.


Patent costs are charged to expense as incurred due to the uncertainty of their recoverability as a result of the Company’s adverse liquidity situation.


Revenues - In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) 605, Revenue Recognition, the Company recognizes revenue when (i) persuasive evidence of a customer or distributor arrangement exists or acceptance occurs, (ii) a retailer, distributor or wholesaler receives the goods, (iii) the price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability of the sales revenue is reasonably assured. Subject to these criteria, the Company will generally recognize revenue upon shipment of product. Revenue from license fees and royalties will be recognized as earned over the license term.


Income taxes - Deferred income taxes are provided for all temporary differences and net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012

 


Fair value - The carrying amounts reflected in the balance sheets for cash, receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to the short maturities of these instruments. The carrying amount of the demand loans and the line of credit approximates fair value since the interest rate associated with the debt approximates the current market interest rates.


Earnings (loss) per share - The Company follows FASB ASC 260 resulting in the presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per common share are based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted earnings per share are computed using weighted average number of common shares plus dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the period. Potential common shares that would have the effect of increasing diluted earnings per share are considered to be anti-dilutive, i.e. the exercise prices of the outstanding stock options were greater than the market price of the common stock.


The table below presents the computation of basic and diluted weighted average common shares outstanding:

Diluted shares outstanding

 

 

58,600,690

 

 

 

58,687,694

 

 

 

58,565,605

 


Comprehensive income (loss) - The Company follows FASB ASC 220 in reporting comprehensive income. Comprehensive income is a more inclusive financial reporting methodology that includes disclosure of certain financial information that historically has not been recognized in the calculation of net income. Since the Company has no items of other comprehensive income, comprehensive income (loss) is equal to net income (loss).


Recoverability of Long-Lived Assets


The Company follows FASB ASC 360-35, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” The Statement requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. The Company is not aware of any events or circumstances which indicate the existence of an impairment which would be material to the Company’s annual financial statements.


Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements


As of December 31, 2014 and for the year then ended, there were no recently adopted accounting pronouncements that had a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.


Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted


In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The amendments in this Update provide guidance about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued and to provide related footnote disclosures. Substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern exists when relevant conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, indicate that it is probable that the entity will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. The amendments in this Update are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. Management is assessing the impact of the adoption to the financial statements.

3. Going Concern


Since its inception, with the exception of the years ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2013 and December 13, 2014, during which it generated net income of $386,000 and $10,300 and $7,700, respectively, the Company has incurred significant losses and, as of December 31, 2014, had accumulated losses of $13,432,700. For the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company had net income from operations of $29,000. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company’s had a net loss from operations of $12,900 and $143,800, respectively. The Company had negative working capital of $424,500 at December 31, 2014, $350,600 at December 31, 2013 and $467,200 at December 31, 2012. Due in part to uncertainties in the US economy, the Company, which is substantially dependent on its licensees to generate licensing revenues, may incur further operating losses and experience negative cash flow in the future. Achieving profitability and positive cash flow depends on the Company’s ability to generate and sustain significant increases in revenues and gross profits from its traditional business. There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to generate sufficient revenues and gross profits to sustain profitability and return to positive cash flow in the future.


During 2014, the Company sold a $5,000 convertible debenture to an investor. During 2013, the Company sold convertible debentures totaling $105,000 to six individuals and a trust and received an unsecured loan of $3,000 from an individual. During 2012, the Company received unsecured loans totaling $49,500 from two individuals and repaid $2,500 of these loans during 2012. In 2012, the Company raised $10,000 in a private placement exempt from registration under section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, whereby 208,334 shares of the Company’s common stock were sold to two non-affiliated individual investors. Receipt of funds from these investors and from the demand loan holders have allowed the Company to remain in operation through the current date. Management of the Company believes that it may need additional capital in the future both to fund investments needed to increase its operating revenues to levels that will sustain its operations and to fund operating deficits that it anticipates will continue until revenue increases from traditional and new product lines can be realized. There can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in obtaining sufficient additional capital, or if it does, that the additional capital will enable the Company to impact its revenues so as to have a material positive effect on the Company’s operations and cash flow. The Company believes that without additional capital, whether in the form of debt, equity or both, it may be forced to cease operations at an undetermined future date.


The Company’s independent registered public accountants have included a “going concern” explanatory paragraph in their audit report accompanying the 2014 financial statements. The paragraph states that the Company’s continuing working capital deficit raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and cautions that the financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.


4. Concentration of Credit Risk


Certain financial instruments potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk. These financial instruments consist primarily of cash and accounts receivables. At December 31, 2014, the Company did not have deposits with a financial institution that exceed the FDIC deposit insurance coverage of $250,000. There is a concentration of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable due to the number of major customers.


5. Demand Loans


In April 2012, the Company received an unsecured loan of $2,500 from an individual and repaid the loan, with interest at 8%, in May 2012.


In July 2012, the Company received an unsecured loan of $5,800 from an individual. The loan bears interest at 8% and is payable on demand. The loan was used to finance the Company’s working capital requirements. Additionally, the Company granted warrants to purchase 5,800 shares of common stock of the Company at $0.06 per share to this individual. The warrants expire in five years. A financing cost of approximately $200, representing the fair value of the warrants, was charged to income in the third quarter of 2012. The fair value of the warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: expected life-5 years; interest rate-.64%; expected volatility based on the Company’s historical volatility-108%; and dividend yield-0.

6. Promissory Note


In 2008, the Company negotiated a $100,000 revolving line of credit with a bank to provide a source of working capital. The line of credit was secured by all the assets of the Company and bore interest at the bank’s prime rate plus 0.5%. During the term of the line of credit, the interest rate applicable to the Company’s line of credit was 3.75%. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company borrowed the entire $100,000 available under the line of credit. Until the third quarter of 2010, the Company had been required to pay interest only on borrowings under the line of credit. During the third quarter of 2010, the Company was notified by the bank that the line of credit was not being renewed and was offered repayment terms, which the Company accepted, to repay the outstanding loan balance in forty-eight equal monthly installments of $2,083, plus interest at the bank’s prime rate plus 0.5%, which was 3.75% throughout the repayment term, beginning in October 2010. In early July 2014, the Company repaid $6,250, the then remaining outstanding balance of the note.


7. Convertible Debentures


During the third quarter of 2013, the Company received $105,000 through the issuance of convertible debentures to six individual investors and a trust. The debentures bear interest at 7% and are due and payable two years from the date of issuance. Proceeds of the debenture issuance were used to finance the Company’s working capital requirements. At option of the lender, the debentures and accrued interest are convertible in whole or part into common stock of the Company at $0.05 per share. The Company also granted warrants to purchase 525,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.02 per share to the holders of the debentures. The warrants are exercisable two years after issuance and expire seven years after issuance.


The fair value of the warrants of approximately $9,100 was determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The relative fair value of the warrants was approximately $8,300 and was recorded as a discount to the notes payable with an offsetting credit to additional paid-in capital since the Company determined that the warrants were an equity instrument in accordance with FASB ASC 815. The debt discount related to the warrant issuances is being accreted through interest expense over the term of the notes payable. For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, approximately $4,200 and $2,100, respectively, was accreted through interest expense.


During the third quarter of 2014, the Company, with the approval of its Board of Directors, exchanged two demand loans totaling $24,500 including one demand loan in the amount of $4,500 held by Herman M. Gerwitz, a Director, along with approximately $3,800 of accrued interest for convertible debentures totaling approximately $28,300. The debentures bear interest at 7% and are due and payable two years from the date of issuance. At option of the lender, the debentures and accrued interest are convertible in whole or part into common stock of the Company at $0.05 per share. The Company also granted warrants to purchase approximately 141,400 shares of common stock of the Company at $0.02 per share to the debenture holders. The warrants are exercisable two years after issuance and expire seven years after issuance.

The Company also granted warrants to purchase 25,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.02 per share to the holder of the debenture. The warrants are exercisable two years after issuance and expire seven years after issuance.


The fair value of the approximately 166,400 warrants issued in the third quarter of 2014 of approximately $2,000 was determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The relative fair value of the warrants was approximately $1,900 and was recorded as a discount to the notes payable with an offsetting credit to additional paid-in capital since the Company determined that the warrants were an equity instrument in accordance with FASB ASC 815. The debt discount related to the warrant issuances is being accreted through interest expense over the term of the notes payable. For the year ended December 31, 2014, approximately $500 was accreted through interest expense.


8. Stockholders' Deficiency


During 2012, the Company sold 208,334 shares of its common stock to a non-affiliated investor for $10,000 pursuant to a private placement.


The Company, with the approval of its Board of Directors, entered into a Conversion Agreement effective March 16, 2012 with Herman M. Gerwitz, a Director, whereby $1,500 in principal of the unsecured loan owed by the Company to him, together with approximately $1,200 of accrued interest was converted into 44,216 shares of restricted common stock of the Company at $0.06 per share, the market price at the date of conversion. After giving effect to this conversion, the principal balance of the unsecured loan held by Mr. Gerwitz was reduced to $4,500.


In July 2014, the common stock private placement was extended to December 31, 2015 by the Company’s Board of Directors.


9. Other Income (Expenses)


Other income (expenses) includes, in 2013, the reversal of approximately $39,500 of accounts payable related to invoices received during 2009 from a professional services business that provided consulting services to the Company that the Company, with legal counsel, has determined to be no longer statutorily payable as the statute of limitations to bring a claim has expired and, in 2012, the reversal of approximately $7,800 of accounts payable related to invoices received during 2002 from a professional services business that provided legal services to the Company that the Company, with legal counsel, has determined to be no longer statutorily payable as the statute of limitations to bring a claim has expired. Additionally, other income (expenses) includes interest on funds borrowed under the Company’s promissory note with a bank, on unsecured loans from five individuals and, in 2013 and 2014 and on convertible debentures held by ten investors. Also included in other income (expenses) are financing costs related to warrants issued in 2013 and 2012 in conjunction with unsecured loans received during that periods.

10. Income Taxes


There is no provision for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 due to the availability of net operating loss carryforwards. There is no income tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 2012 due to the availability of net operating loss carryforwards (“NOL’s”) for which the Company had previously established a 100% valuation allowance for deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of their recoverability. At December 31, 2014, December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had NOL’s approximating $4,601,000, $5,079,000 and $5,658,000, respectively. The operating losses at December 31, 2014 are available to offset future taxable income; however, if not utilized, they expire in varying amounts through the year 2034. As a result of the sale of the Company's common stock in an equity offering in late 1997 and the issuance of additional shares, the amount of the NOL’s may be limited. Additionally, the utilization of these NOL’s, if available, to reduce future income taxes will depend on the generation of sufficient taxable income prior to their expiration. There were no material temporary differences for the years ended December 31, 2014, December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012. The Company has established a 100% valuation allowance of approximately $1,933,000, $2,133,000 and $2,377,000 at December 31, 2014, December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, for the deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of their realization.


The Company has adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10-50-15, “Unrecognized Tax Benefit Related Disclosures.” There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of the date of adoption and no unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2014. There was no change in unrecognized tax benefits during the year ended December 31, 2014 and there was no accrual for uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2014.


There were no interest and penalties recognized in the statement of operations and in the balance sheet. Tax years from 2011 through 2014 remain subject to examination by U.S. federal and state tax jurisdictions.


11. Commitments and Contingencies


The Company conducts its operations in leased facilities under a non-cancelable operating lease expiring in 2019.


Future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases with initial or remaining terms of one year or more at December 31, 2014 are: $44,900 – 2015; $46,200 – 2016; $47,400 –2017; $48,600 – 2018 and $16,300 – 2019.


Total rental expense under operating leases was $44,400, $44,200 and $44,800 in 2012, 2013 and 2014 respectively.


The Company has an employment agreement, expiring in May 2016, with Michael A. Feinstein, M.D., its Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. The employment agreement contains one-year renewal provisions that become effective after the original term. Dr. Feinstein receives base compensation of $85,000 per year plus a performance bonus determined by the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company has an employment agreement, expiring in March 2016, with Terry W. Stovold, its Chief Operating Officer, whereby Mr. Stovold receives a salary set by the Company’s Board of Directors, currently set at $75,000, along with a commission of seven percent on sales generated by his efforts. The employment agreement contains one-year renewal provisions that become effective after the original term. Future minimum compensation payments under these employment agreements are: $160,000 to be paid in 2015 and $54,200 to be paid in 2016.


From time to time, the Company may be subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of its business.


12. Stock Options, Warrants and 401(k) Savings Plan


The Company follows FASB ASC 718, Share Based Payment, which requires that the cost resulting from all share-based payment transactions be recognized in the Company’s financial statements. FASB ASC 718 requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the statement of operations based on their fair values.
