Note 1. Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared by Nocopi
Technologies, Inc. (the Company). These statements include all adjustments (consisting only of
normal recurring adjustments) which management believes necessary for a fair presentation of the
statements and have been prepared on a consistent basis using the accounting policies described in
the summary of Accounting Policies included in the Companys 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Certain financial information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the accompanying
disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The Notes to Financial
Statements included in the 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K should be read in conjunction with the
accompanying interim financial statements. The interim operating results for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2009 may not be necessarily indicative of the operating results expected for
the full year.
Note 2. Going Concern
Since its inception, the Company has incurred significant losses and, as of June 30, 2009, had
accumulated losses of $12,880,900. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company had a net
loss from operations of $306,200 and negative cash flow from operations of $148,800. At June 30,
2009, the Company had negative working capital of $196,500 and a stockholders deficiency of
$176,800. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Companys net loss from operations was
$362,300. Due in part to the recession that has and is continuing to negatively impact the
countrys economy, the Company, which is substantially dependent on its licensees to generate
licensing revenues, may incur further operating losses and experience negative cash flow in the
future. Achieving profitability and positive cash flow depends on the Companys ability to generate
and sustain significant increases in revenues and gross profits from its traditional business and
its newly formed Loss Prevention Division. There can be no assurances that the Company will be able
to generate sufficient revenues and gross profits to return to and sustain profitability and
positive cash flow in the future.
During 2008, the Company negotiated a $100,000 revolving line of credit with a bank as an
additional potential source of capital. During the second quarter of 2009, the Company borrowed
$75,000 under the line of credit to fund its operating activities. There can be no assurances that
the bank will continue to make the line of credit available in the future. During the second
quarter of 2009, the Company raised $41,000 in a private placement whereby 640,625 shares of the
Companys common stock were sold to two non-affiliated individual investors. Management of the
Company is continuing to seek potential investors to fund investments needed to increase its
operating revenues to levels that will sustain its operations, to fund the start-up of a new
business line and to fund operating deficits that it anticipates will continue until revenues from
traditional product lines increase and revenues from new product lines can be realized. There can
be no assurances that the Company will be successful in obtaining sufficient additional capital,
4
or if it does, that the additional capital will enable the Company to impact its revenues so as to
have a material positive effect on the Companys operations and cash flow. The Company believes
that without additional capital, whether in the form of debt, equity or both, it may be forced to
cease operations in the near future.
Note 3. Stock Based Compensation
The Company follows SFAS 123(R), Share-Based Payment and uses the Black-Scholes option pricing
model to calculate the grant-date fair value of an award.
In February 2009, the Board of Directors of the Company, under the Companys 1999 Stock Option
Plan, granted options to acquire 200,000 shares of its common stock to five employees of the
Company, options to acquire 75,000 shares of its common stock to two consultants and options to
acquire 50,000 shares of its common stock to an officer of the Company at $.12 per share. The
options vest after one year and expire after five years. In accordance with the fair value method
as described in accounting requirements of SFAS No. 123(R), compensation expense of approximately
$22,900 is being recognized over the vesting period of the options through February 2010 to account
for the cost of services received by the Company in exchange for the grant of stock options. During
the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, compensation expense of approximately $6,000
and $7,900, respectively, was recognized. As of June 30, 2009, the unrecognized portion of
compensation expense was approximately $15,000.
On April 30, 2008, under the Companys directors option plan (the Plan), options to acquire
100,000 shares of the Companys common stock were granted to each of the five members of the Board
of Directors of the Company, including one member who is also an executive officer of the Company,
at $.45 per share. Under the terms of the Plan, the options (i) vested on January 1, 2009 and (ii)
will expire five years from the date of grant. In accordance with the fair value method as
described in accounting requirements of SFAS No. 123(R), compensation expense of approximately
$121,700 was recognized during 2008 to account for the cost of employee and director services
received by the Company in exchange for the grant of stock options. During the three and six months
ended June 30, 2008, compensation expense of approximately $30,500 was recognized.
The Companys 1999 Stock Option Plan terminated in February 2009 and no further stock options can
be granted under the plan; however, options granted before the termination date may be exercised
through their expiration date.

Note 4. Line of Credit
In August 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 is secured by all the assets of the Company and bears
interest at the banks prime rate plus .5%. At June 30, 2009, the interest rate applicable to the
Companys line of credit was 3.75%. The line of credit is subject to an annual review and quiet
period. The Company presently is required to pay interest only on borrowings under the line of
credit. During the three months ended June 30, 2009, the Company borrowed $75,000 of the $100,000
available under the line of credit.
Note 5. Stockholders Equity (Deficiency)
During the second quarter of 2009, the Company sold 640,625 shares of its common stock to two
non-affiliated individuals for a total of $41,000 pursuant to a private placement. During the
second quarter of 2008, a non-affiliated warrant holder exercised warrants to acquire 10,000 shares
of common stock of the Company at $.22 per share.
Note 6. Other Income (Expenses)
Other income (expenses) includes, for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, the
reversal of $69,100 of accounts payable related to invoices received from 2001 through 2003 from a
business for consulting services 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
6
income (expenses) included, for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008, the reversal
of $37,500 of accounts payable and accrued expenses that the Company, with legal counsel,
determined to be no longer statutorily payable as the statute of limitations to bring a claim had
expired.
Note 7. Income Taxes
There is no income tax benefit for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009 and June 30,
2008 because the Company has determined that the realization of the net deferred tax asset is not
assured. The Company has created a valuation allowance for the entire amount of such benefits. The
Company recorded an income tax expense of $900 in the three months and six months ended June 30,
2008 for certain state income taxes due for 2007 in excess of the tax liability recorded in that
year.
There was no change in unrecognized tax benefits during the period ended June 30, 2009 and there
was no accrual for uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2009.
Tax years from 2005 through 2008 remain subject to examination by U.S. federal and state
jurisdictions.
Note 8. Loss per Share
In accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share, basic earnings (loss) per common share is
computed using net earnings divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for
the periods presented. Diluted earnings per common share assumes that outstanding common shares
were increased by shares issuable upon exercise of those stock options and warrants for which the
market price exceeds the exercise price, less shares that could have been purchased by the Company
with related proceeds. Because the Company reported a net loss for the three months and six months
ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008, common stock equivalents, consisting of stock options and
warrants, were anti-dilutive.

Managements Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operation
Forward-Looking Information
This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, regarding, among
other things, anticipated improvements in operations, the Companys plans, earnings, cash flow and
expense estimates, strategies and prospects, both business and financial. All statements other than
statements of current or historical fact contained in this report are forward-looking statements.
The words believe, expect, anticipate, should, plan, will, may, intend,
estimate, potential, continue and similar expressions, as they relate to the Company, are
intended to identify forward-looking statements.
The Company has based these forward-looking statements largely on its current expectations and

increases. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking statements
in this report may not occur and actual results could differ materially from those anticipated or
implied in the forward-looking statements. For these reasons, and because of the uncertainty
relating to the current financial crisis in todays economic environment and the potential
reduction in demand for the Companys products, you should not consider this information to be a
guarantee by the Company or any other person that its objectives and plans will be achieved. When

Notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2008 included in the Companys Annual Report on
Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2009, and keeping in mind
this entire cautionary statement regarding forward-looking information.

Results of Operations
The Companys revenues are derived from (i) royalties paid by licensees of the Companys
technologies, (ii) fees for the provision of technical services to licensees and (iii) the direct
sale of (a) products incorporating the Companys technologies, such as inks, security paper and
pressure sensitive labels, and (b) equipment used to support the application of the Companys
technologies, such as ink-jet printing systems. Royalties consist of guaranteed minimum royalties
payable by the Companys licensees and/or additional royalties, which typically vary with the
licensees sales or production of products incorporating the licensed technology. Technical
services, in the form of on-site or telephone consultations by members of the Companys technical
staff, may be offered to licensees of the Companys technologies. The consulting fees are billed at
agreed upon per diem or hourly rates at the time the services are rendered. Service fees and sales
revenues vary directly with the number of units of service or product provided.
The Company recognizes revenue on its lines of business as follows:
a) License fees and royalties are recognized when the license term begins. Upon inception of
the license term, revenue is recognized in a manner consistent with the nature of the transaction
and the earnings process, which generally is ratably over the license term;
b) Product sales are recognized (i) upon shipment of products; (ii) when the price is fixed or
determinable and (iii) when collectability is reasonably assured; and
c) Fees for technical services are recognized when (i) the service has been rendered; (ii) an
arrangement exists; (iii) the price is fixed or determinable based upon a per diem or hourly rate;
and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.
The Company believes that, as fixed cost reductions beyond those it has achieved in recent
years may not be achievable, its operating results are substantially dependent on revenue levels.
Because revenues derived from licenses and royalties carry a much higher gross profit margin than
other revenues, operating results are also substantially affected by changes in revenue mix.
Both the absolute amounts of the Companys revenues and the mix among the various sources of
revenue are subject to substantial fluctuation. The Company has a relatively small number of
substantial customers rather than a large number of small customers. Accordingly, changes in the
revenue received from a significant customer can have a substantial effect on the Companys total
revenue and on its revenue mix and overall financial performance. Such changes may result from a
customers product development delays, engineering changes, changes in product marketing strategies
and the like. In addition, certain customers have, from time to time, sought to renegotiate certain
provisions of their license agreements and, when the Company agrees to revise terms, revenues from
the customer may be affected. The addition of a substantial new customer or the loss of a
substantial existing customer may also have a substantial effect on the Companys total revenue,
revenue mix and operating results.
Revenues for the second quarter of 2009 were $187,500 compared to $237,500 in the second
quarter of 2008, a decrease of $50,000, or approximately 21%. Licenses, royalties and fees
decreased by $14,600, or approximately 13%, to $95,300 in the second quarter of 2009 from $109,900
in the second quarter of 2008. The decrease in licenses, royalties and fees is due primarily to
lower licensing revenues derived from three licensees in the entertainment and toy
10
products business and lower royalties from a licensee in the retail receipt and document fraud
market resulting from the conversion of an exclusive license to a non-exclusive license at a lower
royalty rate at the beginning of 2009 offset in part by revenues from two licenses signed in late
2008 and early 2009. The conversion to a non-exclusive license with this licensee in the retail
receipt and document fraud market enables the Company to enter this market to sell its security
products directly to loss prevention departments within retail businesses and chains and to license
other printers who serve this market segment. Product and other sales decreased by $35,400, or
approximately 28%, to $92,200 in the second quarter of 2009 from $127,600 in the second quarter of
2008. Sales of both ink and security paper declined in the second quarter of 2009 compared to the
second quarter of 2008. The lower level of ink sales in the second quarter of 2009 compared to the
second quarter of 2008 is due primarily to lower ink requirements of the third party printers of
the Companys major licensee in the entertainment and toy products business due to the licensees
decline in sales during the current period of economic decline. The Company derived revenues of
approximately $121,100 from licensees and their printers in the entertainment and toy products
market in the second quarter of 2009 compared to approximately $155,700 in the second quarter of
2008. Sales of security paper also declined in the second quarter of 2009 compared to the second
quarter of 2008.
For the first six months of 2009, revenues were $301,100, $208,200, or approximately 41%,
lower than revenues of $509,300 in the first six months of 2008. Licenses, royalties and fees of
$165,800 in the first half of 2009 were $138,300, or approximately 45%, lower than $304,100 in the
first half of 2008, due primarily to the same factors that caused the revenue decline in the second
quarter of 2009 compared to the second quarter of 2008. Product and other sales declined by
$69,900, or approximately 34%, to $135,300 in the first half of 2009 from $205,200 in the first
half of 2008. The lower level of ink sales in the first half of 2009 compared to the first half of
2008 is due primarily to lower ink requirements of the third party printers of the Companys major
licensee in the entertainment and toy products business related to the licensees declines in sales
during the current period of economic decline. The Company derived revenues of approximately
$185,600 from licensees and their printers in the entertainment and toy products market in the
first half of 2009 compared to approximately $353,500 in the first half of 2008. Additionally, ink
sales to the Companys licensee in the retail receipt and document fraud market declined in the
first half of 2009 compared to the first half of 2008. The Company also experienced a decline in
sales of its security papers in the first half of 2009 compared to the first half of 2008.
The Companys gross profit decreased to $98,000 in the second quarter of 2009 or approximately
52% of revenues from $137,500 or approximately 58% of revenues in the second quarter of 2008.
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 which incorporate the
Companys technologies or equipment used to support the application of its technologies. These
items (except for inks which are manufactured by the Company) are generally purchased from
third-party vendors and resold to the end-user or licensee and carry a lower gross profit than
licenses, royalties and fees. The lower gross profit in the second quarter of 2009 compared to the
second quarter of 2008 results primarily from lower gross revenues from licenses, royalties and
fees and product and other sales in the second quarter of 2009 compared to the second quarter of
2008.
For the first six months of 2009, the gross profit was $144,400, or approximately 48% of
revenues, compared to $324,200, or approximately 64% of revenues, in the first six months of
11
2008. The decrease in the gross profit in absolute dollars and as a percentage of revenues in
the first half of 2009 compared to the first half of 2008 resulted from lower gross revenues of
both licenses, royalties and fees and product and other sales in the first half of 2009 compared to
the first half of 2008.
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 the overall gross profit. Primarily due to the decrease in
revenues from licenses, royalties and fees in the second quarter of 2009 compared to the second
quarter of 2008, the gross profit from licenses, royalties and fees decreased to approximately 76%
of revenues from licenses, royalties and fees in the second quarter of 2009 from approximately 78%
in the second quarter of 2008 and to approximately 74% of revenues from licenses, royalties and
fees in the first half of 2009 from approximately 85% in the first half of 2008.
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. As a result of lower sales of both inks and security paper
products in the second quarter of 2009 compared to the second quarter of 2008, the gross profit
from product and other sales declined to approximately 28% of revenues in the second quarter of
2009 compared to approximately 40% of revenues from product and other sales in the second quarter
of 2008 and to approximately 16% of revenues from product and other sales in the first half of 2009
compared to approximately 33% of revenues from product and other sales in the first half of 2008.
Research and development expenses of $40,900 and $83,100 in the second quarter and first six
months of 2009 were comparable to $39,800 and $82,100 in the second quarter and first six months of
2008.
Sales and marketing expenses increased to $95,700 in the second quarter of 2009 from $65,600
in the second quarter of 2008 and to $169,600 in the first six months of 2009 from $133,500 in the
first six months of 2008. The increase in both the second quarter and first six months of 2009
compared to the second quarter and first six months of 2008 reflects fees paid to two sales
consultants involved in the start up of the Companys new Loss Prevention Division, participation
in three Loss Prevention trade shows in the second quarter of 2009 and related travel expenses
offset in part by lower commission expense on the lower level of sales and lower costs associated
with the Companys web site in the second quarter and first six months of 2009 compared to the
second quarter and first six months of 2008.
General and administrative expenses decreased to $88,300 in the second quarter of 2009 from
$112,600 in the second quarter of 2008. The decrease in the second quarter of 2009 compared to the
second quarter of 2008 is due primarily to: a) $6,000 in expenses recorded in the second quarter of
2009 in connection with the issuance of 325,000 options to purchase shares of the Companys common
stock in February 2009 to employees, an officer and others compared to $30,500 in expenses recorded
in the second quarter of 2008 in connection with the issuance of 500,000 options to purchase shares
of the Companys common stock to members of the Companys Board of Directors in April 2008; b) no
patent acquisition and maintenance expenses in the second quarter of 2009; c) lower insurance
expense in the second quarter of 2009
12
compared to the second quarter of 2008 related to favorable policy renewals and d) lower legal
expenses due to lower requirements in the second quarter of 2009 compared to the second quarter of
2008 offset in part by higher compensation expense due to the inception in June 2008 of an
employment agreement with the Companys Chief Executive Officer.
For the first six months of 2009, general and administrative expenses decreased to $197,900
from $248,900 in the first six months of 2008 due primarily to: a) the non-recurrence of the
Companys one-time contribution in the first half of 2008 of $40,000 to a licensee of the Company
under an agreement whereby the licensee acquired an interest in a patent held by a third party and
the Company received, among other things, certain assurances regarding its continuing ability to
manufacture and sell products to this licensee; b) $7,900 in expenses recorded in the first half of
2009 in connection with the issuance of 325,000 options to purchase shares of the Companys common
stock in February 2009 to employees, an officer and others compared to $30,500 in expenses recorded
in the first half of 2008 in connection with the issuance of 500,000 options to purchase shares of
the Companys common stock to members of the Companys Board of Directors in April 2008; c) no
patent acquisition and maintenance expenses in the first half of 2009; and d) lower insurance
expense in the first half of 2009 compared to the first half of 2008 related to favorable policy
renewals offset in part by higher compensation expense due to the inception in June 2008 of an
employment agreement with the Companys Chief Executive Officer.
Other income (expenses) includes, for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, the
reversal of $69,100 of accounts payable related to invoices received from 2001 through 2003 from a
business for consulting services 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, for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008, the reversal of
$37,500 of accounts payable and accrued expenses that the Company, with legal counsel, determined
to be no longer statutorily payable as the statute of limitations to bring a claim had expired.
Additionally, the Company incurred interest expense in the second quarter and first six months of
2009 on funds borrowed under its line of credit. There was no interest expense in the second
quarter and first six months of 2008 as there were no loans outstanding during those periods.
The net loss of $58,600 in the second quarter of 2009 compared to the net loss of $43,500 in
the second quarter of 2008 results primarily from a lower gross profit on a lower level of
revenues, higher compensation expense as well as consulting fees, business show and travel expense
related to the start up Companys new Loss Prevention Division offset in part by lower commissions
and other sales related expenses, lower stock option compensation expense, lower patent related
costs and higher income related to the reversal of accounts payable that are no longer statutorily
payable. The net loss of $238,100 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the net loss
of $102,500 in the six months ended June 30, 2008 results primarily from a lower gross profit on
the lower level of revenues, higher compensation expense as well as consulting fees, business show
and travel expense related to the start up Companys new Loss Prevention Division offset in part by
the non-recurrence of a one time transaction with a licensee, lower commissions and other sales
related expenses, lower stock option compensation expense, lower patent related costs and higher
income related to the reversal of accounts payable that are no longer statutorily payable.

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 second quarter and first
half of 2009 and the second quarter and first half of 2008.
Plan of Operation, Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Companys cash and cash equivalents decreased to $54,400 at June 30, 2009 from $87,200 at
December 31, 2008. During the first half of 2009, the Company received $41,000 from the sale of
640,625 shares of its common stock, borrowed $75,000 from a bank under its line of credit and used
$148,800 to fund operations.
While the Company has added new licensees in the entertainment and toy market over the past
three years and had obtained significant increases in revenues from licenses, royalties and product
sales from these licensees and their third party printers through the end of 2008, its working
capital requirements have increased primarily in support of inventory and receivables related to
these revenues. During the first half of 2009, the Companys revenues declined significantly as a
result of declines in licensing revenues from its principal licensees in the entertainment and toy
products business and incurred expenditures related to the inception of a new division that will
sell the Companys security products directly to loss prevention departments within retail
businesses and chains and to license other printers who serve this market segment. Primarily
resulting from these two factors, the Company recorded a net loss of $238,100 in the first six
months of 2009 and had negative operating cash flow of $148,800 during that period. At June 30,
2009, the Company had negative working capital of $196,500 and stockholders deficiency of
$176,800. For the full year of 2008, the Company had a net loss of $271,700 and had negative
operating cash flow of $175,200 during the year. At December 31, 2008, the Company had negative
working capital of $11,900 and $12,400 in stockholders equity. During the third quarter of 2008,
the Company secured a $100,000 line of credit with a bank as an additional potential source of
working capital. During the second quarter of 2009, the Company borrowed $75,000 under the line of
credit to fund its operating activities. The Company is presently required to pay interest only on
borrowings under the line of credit. There can be no assurances that the bank will continue to make
the line of credit available in the future.
The Companys plan of operation for the twelve months beginning with the date of this
quarterly report consists of capitalizing on the specific business relationships it has developed
in the entertainment and toy products business through ongoing applications development for these
licensees. The Company is also actively pursuing potential opportunities for its applications in
new markets including the retail loss prevention market. The Company believes that these
initiatives can provide increases in revenues and it will continue to increase its production and
technical staff as necessary and invest in capital equipment needed to support potential growth in
its ink production requirements. 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.
The Company generates a significant portion of its total revenues from licensees in the
entertainment and toy products market. A continuation of the slowdown in consumer spending that was
experienced in the first half of 2009 due to the current negative economic environment may
adversely affect the sales of these licensees products that are generally sold
14
through retail outlets over the balance of the year. The Companys revenues, results of
operations and liquidity would likewise be negatively impacted as they were in the first half of
2009.
Risk Factors
The Companys operating results, financial condition and stock price are subject to certain
risks, some of which are beyond the Companys control. These risks could cause actual operating and
financial results to differ materially from those expressed in the Companys forward looking
statements, including the risks described below and the risks identified in other documents which
are filed and furnished with the SEC including the Companys annual report on Form 10-K filed on
March 31, 2009:
Dependency on Major Customer. The Company derives a significant percentage of its revenues through
a relationship with a major customer and two of its operating companies. Revenues obtained directly
from this customer and indirectly, through its third party printers, equaled approximately 64% of
the Companys second quarter 2009 revenues, approximately 61% of the Companys first half 2009
revenues and approximately 63% of the Companys 2008 full year revenues. The Company also has
substantial receivables from these businesses. While multi-year licenses exist with these
organizations, 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 these licensees to
return to levels of sales of products utilizing the Companys technologies achieved in earlier
periods could adversely affect the Companys operating results and cash flow. As the Companys
licensees are subject to, and have been adversely affected, by economic conditions related to the
current economic conditions, the Companys revenues may be adversely impacted. Two of the license
agreements with this customer are currently in force through year-end 2009 and a third through
year-end 2010. The agreements contain mutual renewal options. There can be no assurances that the licenses
will continue in force at the same, or more favorable, terms beyond the current termination dates.
Possible Inability to Develop New Business. While the Company raised cash through additional
capital investment in 2007 and generated cash flow from operations in 2007, it has had limited
increases in its operating expenses until this time. However, additional expenditures are required
in 2009 to fund the new Loss Prevention Division. Management of the Company believes that any
significant improvement in the Companys cash flow from operations must result from increases in
revenues from traditional sources and from new revenue sources including its new Loss Prevention
Division. The Companys 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 Companys adverse financial
condition in previous periods required it to significantly defer payments due vendors who supply
raw materials and other components of its security inks, security paper that it purchases for
resale, professional and other services. As a result, the Company is required to pay cash in
advance of shipment to certain of its suppliers. Delays in shipments to customers caused by the
inability to obtain materials on a timely basis and the possibility that certain current vendors
may permanently discontinue supplying the Company with needed products could impact the Companys
ability to service its customers, thereby adversely affecting its customer and licensee
15
relationships. Management of the Company believes that the capital investment and positive
operating cash flow in 2007 have allowed the Company to improve its relationships with its vendors
and professional service providers. There are, however, no assurances that the Company will be able
to continue to maintain its vendor relationships in an acceptable manner.
Uneven Pattern of Quarterly and Annual Operating Results. The Companys revenues, which are derived
primarily from licensing, royalties and sales of products incorporating its technologies, are
difficult to forecast due to the long sales cycle of its technologies, the potential for customer
delay or deferral of implementation of its technologies, the size and timing of inception of
individual license agreements, the success of its licensees and strategic partners in exploiting
the market for the licensed products, modifications of customer budgets, and uneven patterns of
royalty revenue and product orders. As the Companys revenue base is not substantial, delays in
finalizing license contracts, implementing the technology to initiate the revenue stream and
customer ordering decisions can have a material adverse effect on the Companys quarterly and
annual revenue expectations and, as the Companys operating expenses are substantially fixed,
income expectations will be subject to a similar adverse outcome. As licensees for the
entertainment and toy products markets are added and the Companys new Loss Prevention Division
begins operations, the unpredictability of the Companys revenue stream may be further impacted.
Volatility of Stock Price. The market price for the Companys common stock has historically
experienced significant fluctuations and may continue to do so. From inception through 2006 and
again in 2008 and the first six months of 2009, the Company operated at a loss and has not produced
revenue levels traditionally associated with publicly traded companies. The Companys common stock
is not listed on a national or regional securities exchange and, consequently, it receives limited
publicity regarding its business achievements and prospects. Additionally, securities analysts and
traders do not extensively follow the Companys stock and its stock is also thinly traded. The
Companys market price may be affected by announcements of new relationships or modifications to
existing relationships. The stock prices of many developing public companies, particularly those
with small capitalizations, have experienced wide fluctuations not necessarily related to operating
performance. Such fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of the Companys common stock.
Access to Capital. The Company presently needs to raise additional capital to fund its historical
and new business operations. The current crisis in the financial markets has caused serious
deterioration in the net worth and liquidity of many investors, including that of potential
investors in the Company, and seriously eroded investor confidence in general thereby making it
more difficult for the Company to raise capital. If the Company is unable to secure capital, in the
form of debt, equity or both, its ability to maintain its business operations in their current form
may be adversely affected. There can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in
obtaining additional investment in sufficient amounts to fund its ongoing business operations.
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 could
possibly be compromised through reverse engineering or other means. In addition, the Companys
ability to enforce its intellectual property rights through appropriate legal action had been and
may continue to be limited by its adverse liquidity. There can be no
16
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 its rights. The Companys adverse liquidity situation in previous years had also
impacted its ability to obtain patent protection on its intellectual property and to maintain
protection on previously issued patents. The Company has been advised by its patent counsel that no
patent maintenance fees are known to be due during 2009. There can be no assurances that the
Company will be able to continue to prosecute new patents and maintain issued patents. As a result,
the Companys customer and licensee relationships could be adversely affected and the value of its
technologies and intellectual property (including their value upon liquidation) could be
substantially diminished.
Economic Conditions. The Companys revenue is susceptible to changes in general economic conditions
and the current global recession, the effects of which are expected to continue through at
least 2009. Decreasing consumer confidence, further slowdown in consumer spending or other downturn
in the U.S. economy as a whole or in any geographic markets from which the Company derives revenue,
could substantially impact its sales, liquidity and overall results of operations, as these factors
may result in decreased demand for the Companys products from its customers and licensees, and the
Companys ability to develop new customers and licensees. Due to the uncertainty surrounding the
economy, and the Companys inability to predict the effect such conditions will have on its
customers and licensees, the Company cannot predict the scope or magnitude of the negative effect
that the recent global financial crisis and economic slowdown will have on it.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 107-1 (FSP FAS 107-1) and APB 28-1 (APB
28-1), which amends FASB Statement No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments
and APB Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting, to require disclosures about the fair value of
financial instruments for interim reporting periods. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 is effective for
interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of this staff position did not
have a material impact on the Companys financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 157-4 (FSP FAS 157-4), which provides
additional guidance in accordance with FASB No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, when the volume and
level of activity for the asset or liability has significantly decreased. FSP FAS 157-4 is
effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of this
staff position did not have a material effect on the Companys financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 115-2 (FSP FAS 115-2) and FASB Staff
Position No. 124-2 (FSP FAS 124-2), which amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance for
debt and equity securities. FSP FAS 115-2 and FSP FAS 124-2 is effective for interim and annual
reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of this staff position did not have a
material effect on the Companys financial statements.
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events, which is effective for interim or
annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. SFAS No. 165 establishes general
17
standards of accounting and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet but before
financial statements are issued or are available to be issued.
However, since the Company is a public entity, management is required to evaluate subsequent events
through the date that financial statements are issued and disclose the date through which
subsequent events have been evaluated, as well as the date the financial statements were issued.
SFAS No. 165 was adopted for its interim period ending June 30, 2009. Subsequent events have been
evaluated through August 14, 2009, the date the financial statements were issued as further
discussed in EITF Topic No. D-86.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R).
This Statement is a revision to FIN 46(R) and changes how a company determines when an entity that
is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be
consolidated. The determination of whether a company is required to consolidate an entity is based
on, among other things, an entitys purpose and design and a companys ability to direct the
activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entitys economic performance.
This Statement requires an additional reconsideration event when determining whether an entity is a
variable interest entity when any changes in facts and circumstances occur such that the holders of
the equity investment at risk, as a group, lose the power from voting rights or similar rights of
those investments to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the
entitys economic performance. It also requires ongoing assessments of whether an enterprise is the
primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. These requirements will provide more relevant
and timely information to users of financial statements.
This Statement shall be effective as of the beginning of each reporting entitys first annual
reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual
reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. This pronouncement is
not currently applicable to the Company.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification, which
establishes the Codification as the source of authoritative GAAP recognized by the FASB to be
applied by nongovernmental entities. SFAS 168 is effective for financial statements issued for
interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of SFAS 168 is not
expected to have an effect on the Companys financial reporting.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
