NOCOPI TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

Note 1. Financial Statements


The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared by Nocopi Technologies, Inc. (our “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 Note 2 Significant Accounting Policies included in the Notes to Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2022, as amended on April 29, 2022 (the “2021 Annual Report”). 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 our Company believes that the accompanying disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The Notes to Financial Statements included in the 2021 Annual Report should be read in conjunction with the accompanying interim financial statements. The interim operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2022 may not be necessarily indicative of the operating results expected for the full year.

A novel strain of coronavirus, COVID-19, that was first identified in Wuhan, China in December 2019 has surfaced in many countries around the world including the United States. Many countries continue to experience reoccurrences of COVID-19 to the current date. The World Health Organization has declared COVID-19 to constitute a global pandemic. Certain state and local governments reacted by placing significant restrictions on businesses including a closure in Pennsylvania of non-essential businesses that was announced on March 20, 2020. While most Pennsylvania businesses have been allowed to reopen, often at limited capacity and with certain restrictions, as of the current date, there can be no assurances that future closures will be avoided. A requirement to close our Company for a considerable period of time could result in a negative impact on our Company’s financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, as our Company imports certain raw materials from China, if an extended disruption of the supply of these raw materials were to occur, such as the vessel delays resulting from the congestion experienced in certain Chinese ports due to a COVID-19 outbreak in the second quarter of 2021 and continuing to the present time, our ability to produce products for sale to our customers could be negatively impacted. Additionally, certain of the Company’s licensees in the entertainment and toy products market who utilize printers in China to produce their products have been affected by the COVID-19 related cargo surge beginning in the third quarter of 2021 and continuing to the present time at major Chinese and United States ports as well as the world-wide container shortage resulting in significantly higher shipping costs, and have responded by deferring or scaling back production of their orders and, in some cases, rescheduling the shipping of completed orders. Such deferrals may affect the number and value of orders placed by the Company’s licensed printers in the entertainment and toy products market. Further, restrictions on our customers and licensees in areas affected by the COVID-19 could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. Our Company’s operating results for the first quarter of 2022 are reflective of the effects of the ongoing cargo surge as well as lockdowns in certain Chinese cities, including Shanghai, during the first quarter of 2022 that affected businesses and production in those areas. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread with the Omicron variant, the BA.2 variant and other newly identified variants and sub-variants, any future financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. We cannot predict the scope or magnitude of the negative effect that may result from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. Our Company’s results of operations were negatively affected in earlier periods in part as a result of a significant increase in the cost of raw materials utilized by our Company in the manufacture of certain of its products as a result of price increases related to the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on the availability and supply of these raw materials. While prices of these raw materials have declined at the present time, there can be no assurances that raw material prices will remain at current levels or decrease to pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels in future periods. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread both in its original form and in the recently identified variants of COVID-19 along with the potential re-imposition of certain COVID-19 restrictions currently being considered by federal, state and local governments, any future financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

Our Company follows Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 220 in reporting comprehensive income (loss).  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 our Company has no items of other comprehensive income (loss), comprehensive income (loss) is equal to net income (loss).

Note 2. Stock Based Compensation

Our Company follows FASB ASC 718, Compensation– Stock Compensation, and uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the grant-date fair value of an award. At March 31, 2022, our Company did not have an active stock option plan. There was no unrecognized portion of expense related to stock option grants at March 31, 2022.

Note 3. Line of Credit


In November 2018, our Company negotiated a $150,000 revolving line of credit with a bank to provide a source of working capital, if required. The line of credit is secured by all the assets of our Company and bears interest at the bank’s prime rate for a period of one year and its prime rate plus 1.5% thereafter. The line of credit is subject to an annual review and quiet period. There have been no borrowings under the line of credit since its inception.

(UNAUDITED)

Note 4. Stock Warrants


At March 31, 2021, our Company had warrants outstanding

to purchase 141,365 of our Company’s common stock at $0.02 per share. The warrants were granted in 2014 to two individuals who acquired convertible debentures from the Company in 2014. The warrants were exercisable two years after issuance and expire seven years after issuance. The fair value of the warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The relative fair value of the warrants was recorded as a discount to the notes payable with an offsetting credit to additional paid-in capital since our Company determined that the warrants were an equity instrument in accordance with FASB ASC 815. The debt discount related to the warrant issuances was accreted through interest expense over the term of the notes payable. During the second quarter of 2021, holders of these 141,365 warrants that had been outstanding exercised their options to purchase a total of 141,365 shares of our Company’s common stock at $0.02 per share.

Note 5. Income Taxes


There is no income tax benefit for the losses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 because our Company has determined that the realization of the net deferred tax asset is not assured. Our Company has created a valuation allowance for the entire amount of such benefits. There is no provision for federal income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2021 due to the availability of net operating loss carryforwards.

The components for state income tax expense resulting from the limitation on the use of net operating losses are:

Components for State Income Tax Expense
Three Months ended<br> <br>March 31,
2022 2021
Current state taxes $ $ 7,300
Deferred state taxes
Income tax expense (benefit) $ $ 7,300

There was no change in unrecognized tax benefits during the period ended March 31, 2022 and there was no accrual for uncertain tax positions as of March 31, 2022.

Tax years from 2018 through 2021 remain subject to examination by U.S. federal and state jurisdictions.

Note 6. Earnings per Share

In accordance with FASB ASC 260, Earnings

per Share, basic earnings per common share is computed using net earnings divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the periods presented. The computation of diluted earnings per common share involves the assumption that outstanding common shares are increased by shares issuable upon exercise of those warrants for which the market price exceeds the exercise price. The number of shares issuable upon the exercise of such warrants is decreased by shares that could have been purchased by our Company with related proceeds. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the number of incremental common shares resulting from the assumed conversion of warrants was 123,913. Since our Company did not have any outstanding warrants or other common stock equivalents as of March 31, 2022, basic and diluted loss per share were the same.

Note 7. Major Customer and Geographic Information

Our Company’s revenues, expressed as a percentage of total revenues, from non-affiliated customers that equaled 10% or more of the Company’s total revenues were:

Company's Revenues As Percentage Of Revenue
Nine Months ended<br> <br>September 30
2021 2020
Customer A 43 % 67 %
Customer B 26 % 19 %
Customer C 15 % %

Our Company’s non-affiliate customers whose individual balances amounted to more than 10% of our Company’s net accounts receivable, expressed as a percentage of net accounts receivable, were:

Schedule of Non-affiliated Customers with Accounts Receivable More Than 10%
March 31 December 31
2022 2021
Customer A 16 % 30 %
Customer B 73 % 65 %

Our Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral. Our Company also maintains allowances for potential credit losses. The loss of a major customer could have a material adverse effect on our Company’s business operations and financial condition.

Our Company’s revenues by geographic region are as follows:

Company's Revenue by Geographic Region
Three Months ended<br> <br>March 31
2021 2020
North America $ 123,900 $ 169,700
South America 1,600 1,500

Note 8. Leases


Our Company conducts its operations in leased facilities under a non-cancelable operating lease expiring in 2024.

Due to the adoption of the new lease standard

under the optional transition method which allows the entity to apply the new lease standard at the adoption date, our Company has capitalized the present value of the minimum lease payments commencing January 1, 2019, using an estimated incremental borrowing rate of 6.5%. The minimum lease payments do not include common area annual expenses which are considered to be non-lease components.

As of January 1, 2019 the operating lease right-of-use

asset and operating lease liability amounted to $241,100 with no cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated deficit.

There are no other material operating leases. Our Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities arising from short-term leases.

Total lease expense under operating leases for

each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021 was $13,300.

Maturities of lease liabilities were as follows:

Maturities of Lease Liabilities
Operating Leases
Year ending December 31
2022 $ 41,200
2023 56,200
2024 18,900
Total lease payments 116,300
Less imputed interest (12,100 )
Total $ 104,200

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

Forward-Looking Information

This Report on Form 10-Q contains, and our officers and representatives may from time to time make, "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as: "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "goal," "seek," "believe," "project," "estimate," "expect," "strategy," "future," "likely," "may," "should," "will" and similar references to future periods. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements we make regarding:

· The ongoing impact of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic on our business operations, revenues, employees, suppliers and customers
· Expected operating results, such as revenue growth and earnings
· Anticipated levels of capital expenditures for fiscal year 2022 and beyond
· Current or future volatility in market conditions
· Our belief that we have sufficient liquidity to fund our business operations during the next twelve months
· Strategy for customer retention, growth, product development, market position, financial results and reserves
· Strategy for risk management

Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. Our actual results and financial condition may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the following:

· The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may impact our future<br>financial and operational performance will be dependent on many factors that we may not be able to predict because they continue to change<br>and evolve depending on both national and local circumstances. These factors include, among others, the following: government restrictions<br>affecting our employees, customers and suppliers, changes in our revenues due to lower customer demand as a result of the pandemic, and<br>a potential inability to obtain raw materials due to lower availability. We continue to monitor the impact of COVID-19 on our business<br>but we cannot accurately predict the extent to which it will adversely affect our future results of operations, financial condition or<br>cash flows.
· The extent to which we are successful in gaining new long-term relationships with customers or retaining significant existing customers and the level of service failures that could lead customers to use competitors' services.
· Our ability to improve our current credit rating with our vendors and the impact on our raw materials and other costs and competitive position of doing so.
· The impact of losing our intellectual property protections or the loss in value of our intellectual property.
· Changes in customer demand.
· The adequacy of our cash flow and earnings and other conditions which may affect our ability to timely service our debt obligations.
· The occurrence of hostilities, political instability or<br>catastrophic events.
· Such other factors as discussed throughout Part I, Item 2. Management's<br>Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and throughout Part II,<br>Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and in Item 1A. Risk Factors of our Annual<br>Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Any forward-looking statement made by us in this Report is based only on information currently available to us and speaks only as of the date on which it is made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our condensed financial statements, included herewith. This discussion should not be construed to imply that the results discussed herein will necessarily continue into the future, or that any conclusion reached herein will necessarily be indicative of actual operating results in the future. Such discussion represents only the best present assessment of our management. This information should also be read in conjunction with our audited historical financial statements which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2022, as amended on April 29, 2022.

Background Overview

Nocopi Technologies, Inc. develops and markets specialty reactive inks for applications in the large educational and toy products market. We also develop and market technologies for document and product authentication, which we believe can reduce losses caused by fraudulent document reproduction or by product counterfeiting and/or diversion. We derive our revenues primarily from licensing our technologies on an exclusive or non-exclusive basis to licensees who incorporate our technologies into their product offering and from selling products incorporating our technologies to the licensees or to their licensed printers.

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us” and other similar terms means Nocopi Technologies, Inc., a Maryland corporation.

Effects of COVID-19


To serve our customers while also providing for the safety of our employees and service providers, we have adapted various steps to protect our employees. Any employee who is uncomfortable coming into our facilities may choose not to come in. We have a large enough facility to enable all of our employees to social distance and we follow Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines. Our production employees work with chemicals and they have always used masks, respirators, etc., even before COVID-19. As a result, we continue to maintain the same level of productivity and effectiveness as prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The impact of COVID-19 on our Company had little effect on the financial results through the first six months of 2021; however, beginning in the third quarter of 2021, certain of the Company’s licensees in the entertainment and toy products market who utilize printers in China to produce their products have been adversely affected by the cargo surge related to congestion experienced in certain Chinese ports due to a COVID-19 outbreak that began in the second quarter of 2021. The cargo surge continues to the present time, now adversely affecting major United States ports. The world-wide cargo surge along with a container shortage resulted in significantly higher shipping costs since the third quarter of 2021. Certain of our Company’s licensees in the entertainment and toy products market have responded by deferring or scaling back production and size of future orders and, in some cases, rescheduling the shipping of completed orders. Ink orders from our Company’s licensed printers in China have fallen significantly beginning in the third quarter of 2021 compared to earlier periods. These supply chain disruptions are being experienced by many businesses including our Company’s licensees. A continuance of these supply chain disruptions may negatively impact the number and value of orders placed by our Company’s licensed printers in the entertainment and toy products market with a resultant negative impact on our Company’s results of operations and cash flow in future periods.

We did not suffer a drop off in total earned royalties in the entertainment and toy products market as a result of COVID-19 through the third quarter of 2021 as retail demand continued to be strong for the products marketed by our licensees in the entertainment and toy products market. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2021 and continuing through the first quarter of 2022, reflecting the significantly higher shipping costs caused by the COVID-19 related cargo surge at major China and United States ports and the world-wide container shortage, ink orders from the printers of our licensees in the entertainment and toy products market were significantly below historical levels. We continue to experience a negative impact on revenues in our smaller anti-counterfeiting and anti-diversion products market due to reduced production activity at certain printing facilities that utilize these technologies and anticipate that these conditions may continue for a period of time. However, unlike earlier periods, licensing revenues in the entertainment and toy products market declined in both the fourth quarter of 2021 and the first quarter of 2022. While the products of our licensees in the larger entertainment and toy products market are sold by both large and smaller retailers, most of whom are now open, and are also available for purchase online, we believe that revenues may not continue to be achieved at levels experienced in earlier periods due to the negative economic conditions that are expected to continue over the balance of the year and beyond as a result of COVID-19, increasing inflation and other factors affecting consumer spending. A slowdown and/or a reallocation in overall consumer spending may affect the sales of products marketed by our licensees. Our major licensees in the entertainment and toy products market are large, well-known businesses in this market with whom we believe our long-term relationship will not be adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, supply chain disruptions and the current inflationary conditions.

Results of Operations

Our Company’s revenues are derived from (a) royalties paid by licensees of our technologies, (b) fees for the provision of technical services to licensees and (c) from the direct sale of (i) products incorporating our technologies, such as inks, security paper and pressure sensitive labels, and (ii) equipment used to support the application of our technologies, such as ink-jet printing systems. Royalties consist of guaranteed minimum royalties payable by our 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.

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

a. License fees for the use of our technology and royalties with guaranteed minimum amounts are recognized at a point in time when the term begins;
b. Product sales are recognized at the time of the transfer of goods to customers at an amount that our Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for these goods, which is at the time of shipment; and
c. Fees for technical services are recognized at the time of the transfer of services to customers at an amount that our Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for the services, which is when the service has been rendered.

We believe that, as fixed cost reductions beyond those we have achieved in recent years may not be achievable, our 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 our Company’s revenues and the mix among the various sources of revenue are subject to substantial fluctuation. We have 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 our Company’s total revenue, revenue mix and overall financial performance. Such changes may result from a substantial 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 our Company agrees to revise such terms, revenues from the customer may be adversely affected.

Revenues for the first quarter of 2022 were $339,400 compared to $611,400 in the first quarter of 2021, a decrease of $272,000, or approximately 44%. Licenses, royalties and fees decreased by $48,200, or approximately 26%, in the first quarter of 2022 to $137,300 from $185,500 in the first quarter of 2021. The decrease in licenses, royalties and fees in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021 is due primarily to lower royalties from our Company’s licensees in the entertainment and toy products market and the security markets, both of which continue to be negatively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. We cannot assure you that the marketing and product development activities of our Company’s licensees or other businesses in the entertainment and toy products market will produce a significant increase in revenues for our Company, nor can the timing of any potential revenue increases be predicted, particularly given the uncertain economic conditions being experienced worldwide as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic that is continuing to negatively impact all worldwide economies.

Product and other sales decreased by $223,800, or approximately 53%, to $202,100 in the first quarter of 2022 from $425,900 in the first quarter of 2021. Sales of ink decreased in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021 due primarily to lower ink shipments to the third party authorized printer used by two of our Company’s major licensees in the entertainment and toy products market primarily due to the negative effects of COVID-19 on this market and lower ink shipments to our Company’s licensees in the retail receipt and document fraud market. In the first quarter of 2022, our Company derived revenues of approximately $306,500 from our Company’s licensees and their authorized printers in the entertainment and toy products market compared to revenues of approximately $561,600 in the first quarter of 2021.

Our Company’s gross profit decreased to $173,200, or approximately 51% of gross revenues, in the first quarter of 2022 from $391,100, or approximately 64% of gross revenues, in the first quarter of 2021. Licenses, royalties and fees have historically carried a higher gross profit than product and other sales, which generally consist of either supplies or other manufactured products which incorporate our Company’s technologies or equipment used to support the application of its technologies. These items (except for inks which are manufactured by our 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.

| --- |

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 these sources as well as our Company’s overall gross profit. The gross profit from licenses, royalties and fees decreased to approximately 71% in the first quarter of 2022 from approximately 75% in the first quarter of 2021.

The gross profit of product and other sales, expressed as a percentage of revenues, 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. Primarily due to lower sales of inks and other products in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021, there was a lower gross profit from product and other sales of approximately 37% of revenues in the first quarter of 2022 compared to a gross profit of approximately 59% of revenues in the first quarter of 2021.

Research and development expenses decreased in the first quarter of 2022 to $39,500 compared to $44,500 in the first quarter of 2021 due primarily to lower employee related expenses in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021.

Sales and marketing expenses decreased to $64,800 in the first quarter of 2022 from $83,200 in the first quarter of 2021 due primarily to lower commission expense on the lower level of revenues in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021.

General and administrative expenses increased in the first quarter of 2022 to $277,700 compared to $145,500 in the first quarter of 2021 due primarily to significantly higher professional fees in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021.

Income taxes in the first quarter of 2021 result from limitations placed on income tax net operating loss deductions by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

The net loss of $203,400 in the first quarter of 2022 compared to net income of $114,800 in the first quarter of 2021 resulted primarily from a lower gross profit on a lower level of licenses, royalties and fees and lower product sales and higher operating expenses in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021.

Plan of Operation, Liquidity and Capital Resources


During the first quarter of 2022, our Company’s cash increased to $2,016,900 at March 31, 2022 from $1,846,700 at December 31, 2021. During the first quarter of 2022, our Company generated $170,200 from its operating activities.

During the first quarter of 2022, our Company’s revenues decreased approximately 44% primarily as a result of lower royalty revenues from our Company’s licensees in the entertainment and toy products market and lower sales of ink to the authorized printers of our Company’s licensees in the entertainment and toy products market. Our total overhead expenses increased in the first quarter of 2022 to $382,000 compared to $273,200 in the first quarter of 2021 and our Company’s income tax expense decreased in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021. As a result of these factors, our Company sustained a net loss of $203,400 in the first quarter of 2022 compared to net income of $114,800 in the first quarter of 2021. Our Company had positive operating cash flow of $170,200 during the first quarter of 2022. At March 31, 2022, our Company had working capital of $3,088,000 and stockholders’ equity of $3,301,900. For the full year of 2021, our Company had net income of $49,400 and had positive operating cash flow of $512,700. At December 31, 2021, our Company had working capital of $3,197,500 and stockholders’ equity of $3,505,300.

In November 2018, our Company negotiated a $150,000 revolving line of credit (“Line of Credit”) with a bank to provide a source of working capital, if required. The Line of Credit is secured by all the assets of our Company and bears interest at the bank’s prime rate for a period of one year and its prime rate plus 1.5% thereafter. The Line of Credit is subject to an annual review and quiet period. There have been no borrowings under the Line of Credit since its inception. We may need to obtain additional capital in the future to further support the working capital requirements associated with our existing revenue base and to develop new revenue sources. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in obtaining such additional capital, if needed. We continue to maintain a cost containment program including curtailment, where possible, of discretionary research and development and sales and marketing expenses.

Our plan of operation for the twelve months beginning with the date of this Quarterly Report consists of concentrating available human and financial resources to continue to capitalize on the specific business relationships our Company has developed in the entertainment and toy products market. This includes two licensees that have been marketing products incorporating the Company’s technologies since 2012. These two licensees maintain a significant presence in the entertainment and toy products market and are well known and highly regarded participants in this market. We anticipate that these two licensees will expand their current offerings that incorporate our technologies and will introduce and market new products that will incorporate our technologies available to them under their license agreements with our Company. We will continue to develop various applications for these licensees. We also plan to expand our licensee base in the entertainment and toy market. We currently have additional licensees marketing or developing products incorporating our technologies in certain geographic and niche markets of the overall entertainment and toy products market.

Our Company maintains its presence in the retail loss prevention market and believes that revenue growth in this market can be achieved through increased security ink sales to its licensees in this market. We will continue to adjust our production and technical staff as necessary and, subject to available financial resources, invest in capital equipment needed to support potential growth in ink production requirements beyond our current capacity. Additionally, we will pursue opportunities to market our current technologies in specific security and non-security markets. There can be no assurances that these efforts will enable our Company to generate additional revenues and positive cash flow.

Our Company has received, and may in the future seek, additional capital in the form of debt, equity or both, to support our working capital requirements and to provide funding for other business opportunities. Beyond the Line of Credit, we cannot assure you that if we require additional capital, that we will be successful in obtaining such additional capital, or that such additional capital, if obtained, will enable our Company to generate additional revenues and positive cash flow.

As previously stated, we generate a significant portion of our total revenues from licensees in the entertainment and toy products market. These licensees generally sell their products through retail outlets. In the future, such sales may be adversely affected by changes in consumer spending that may occur as a result of an uncertain economic environment throughout the balance of 2022 and beyond due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and its effect on the global economy, geopolitical instability including the Russia-Ukraine war and the supply chain disruptions related to both as well as the record inflation currently being experienced in the United States. As a result, our revenues, results of operations and liquidity may be further negatively impacted.

Contractual Obligations


As of March 31, 2022, there were no material changes in our contractual obligations from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 30, 2022, as amended on April 29, 2022, other than those appearing in the notes to the financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.


Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

As of March 31, 2022, there were no recently adopted accounting standards that had a material effect on our Company’s financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The amendments in this Update affect loans, debt securities, trade receivables, and any other financial assets that have the contractual right to receive cash. The ASU requires an entity to recognize expected credit losses rather than incurred losses for financial assets. For public entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. ASU No.

2019-10

extends the effective dates for two years for smaller reporting companies and nonpublic companies.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contractsin Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40), Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. The amendments in this Update affect entities that issue convertible instruments and/or contracts in an entity’s own equity. For convertible instruments, the instruments primarily affected are those issued with beneficial conversion features or cash conversion features because the accounting models for those specific features are removed. However, all entities that issue convertible instruments are affected by the amendments to the disclosure requirements in this Update. For contracts in an entity’s own equity, the contracts primarily affected are freestanding instruments and embedded features that are accounted for as derivatives under the current guidance because of failure to meet the settlement conditions of the derivatives scope exception related to certain requirements of the settlement assessment. The Board simplified the settlement assessment by removing the requirements (1) to consider whether the contract would be settled in registered shares, (2) to consider whether collateral is required to be posted, and (3) to assess shareholder rights. Those amendments also affect the assessment of whether an embedded conversion feature in a convertible instrument qualifies for the derivatives scope exception. Additionally, the amendments in this Update affect the diluted EPS calculation for instruments that may be settled in cash or shares and for convertible instruments. The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities that meet the definition of a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filer, excluding entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Board specified that an entity should adopt the guidance as of the beginning of its annual fiscal year. The Board decided to allow entities to adopt the guidance through either a modified retrospective method of transition or a fully retrospective method of transition.
