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 the summary ofNote 2 Significant Accounting Policies included in the Notes to Financial Statements included in our Company's 2019Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2021, as amended on April 30, 2021 (the “2020 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 20192020 Annual Report on Form10-K should be read in conjunction with the accompanying interim financial statements. The interim operating results for the three months and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 may not be necessarily indicative of the operating results expected for the full year.


In March 2020,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 the outbreak ofCOVID-19 to constitute a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) asglobal pandemic. Certain state and local governments reacted by placing significant restrictions on businesses including a pandemic which continues to spread throughout the United States. On March 19, 2020 the Governor of Pennsylvania declared a health emergency and issued an order to close all nonessential businesses until further notice. The mandated closure of nonessential businesses in Pennsylvania remains in effectof non-essential businesses that was announced on March 20, 2020. While many Pennsylvania businesses have been allowed to reopen, often at limited capacity and with certain restrictions, as of the current date, and is expectedthere can be no assurances that future closures will be avoided. A requirement to continueclose our Company for the foreseeable futurea considerable period of time could result in the portion of the state in which we conduct our business operations. While certain businesses in Pennsylvania have been granted permission to resume operations, they may be subject to significant restrictions on their operations by both state and local government mandates. Our operations are deemed to be essential and thus we remain open. However, disruptions to our business operations due to COVID-19 with a resultantnegative impact on our Company’s financial condition and results of operations could continueoperations. 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 resultCOVID-19 outbreak in the second quarter of quarantines of employees2021, our ability to produce products for sale to our customers could be negatively impacted. Further, restrictions on our customers and supplierslicensees in areas affected by the outbreak, availability of raw materials required to manufacture our products, disruption of supply chains that provide our raw materials, price increases of raw materials and supplies used in our production processes, facility closures of domestic and international customers who purchase and use our products, and travel and logistics restrictions affecting our inbound and outbound shipments in connection with the COVID-19 outbreak. While we expect this global COVID-19 pandemic to continue to negatively impactcould adversely affect our results of operations cash flow and financial position,condition. 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 2020 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 COVID-19 restrictions currently being considered by federal, state and local governments and presently implemented in certain states, 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.  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, comprehensive income is equal to net income.


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 SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, our Company did not have an active stock option plan. There was no0 unrecognized portion of expense related to stock option grants at SeptemberJune 30, 2020.2021.


Note 3. Line of Credit


In November 2018, our Company negotiated a $150,000$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.


Note 4. Convertible Debentures


During the third quarter of 2020, the holders of all previously outstanding convertible debentures totaling approximately $97,900 that were due during the third quarter of 2020 elected to convert those debentures plus approximately $46,100 of accrued interest into 5,758,992 shares of restricted stock of our Company. At September 30, 2020, our Company had no convertible debentures outstanding. The convertible debentures bore interest at 7%. During the third quarter of 2019, the holders of approximately $30,400 of previously outstanding convertible debentures elected to convert those debentures plus approximately $12,300 of accrued interest into 1,707,982 shares of restricted stock of our Company.

The warrants arewere 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 has been accreted through interest expense over the term of the notes payable.

Note 7. 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. As all of the previously outstanding warrants were exercised during the three months ended June 30, 2021, basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 are equal in each period since there are no incremental common shares in either period. For the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020, the number of incremental common shares resulting from the assumed conversion of warrants was 125,227561,287 and 117,179,532,431, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the number of incremental common shares resulting from the assumed conversion of warrants was 375,673 and 372,764, respectively.

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’sCompany had little impact on the financial results during the thirdsecond quarter and first ninesix months of 2020 resulted primarily from a significant increase in2021 as the priceshortage of raw materials used in certain of our Company’s products caused by shortages of these ingredientsexperienced throughout 2020 as a resultconsequence of the COVID-19 pandemic along with a mix ofand the resultant price increases have been at least temporarily eased, though still higher than pre-pandemic levels, so our Company’s gross margins on those products purchased by our licensees’ third party printers toward certain products with formulations that require ingredients whose prices have increasedreturned to similar levels as a resultwere experienced before the inception of COVID-19.the COVID-19 pandemic. We expectcannot accurately predict the availability and pricing of these higher raw material prices to negatively affectmaterials in subsequent quarters untildue to ongoing uncertainties related to COVID-19 particularly in light of the shortages are alleviated. We expectrecently identified variants of the fourth quarter to see a similar impact from COVID-19 virus and the various operational adjustments we made.potential re-imposition of restrictions currently being considered by federal, state and local governments and in certain states presently implemented. The full extent of the impact to ourthe Company due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic for our fourththird quarter and beyond cannot be currently determined. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may impact our future financial and operational performance will be dependent on many factors that we may not be able to predict because they continue to change and evolve depending on both national and local circumstancescircumstances. These factors include, among themothers, the following: government restrictions affecting our employees, customers and suppliers, changes in our revenues due to lower customer demand as a result of the pandemic and a potential inability to obtain raw materials due to lower availability. We continue to monitor the impact of COVID-19 along with the recently identified variants of COVID-19 on our business but we cannot accurately predict the extent to which it will adversely affect our future results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.


To date, we have not suffered a drop off in total customer orders and total earned royalties in the entertainment and toy products market as a result of COVID-19, but we continue to experience a negative impact on revenues in our smaller anti-counterfeiting and anti-diversion products market due to closures of certain printing facilities that utilize these technologies and we anticipate that these closures may continue for a period of time. We continue to retain revenues at historical levels in the entertainment and toy products market through the current date despite the downturns in the overall economy. While the products of our licensees in the larger entertainment and toy products market are sold by both large and smaller retailers, some of whom remain open, and are also available for purchase online, we believe that revenues may not continue to be achieved at levels experienced to the current date 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 and the recently identified variants of COVID-19. A slowdown 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 current COVID-19 pandemic.

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.

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 thirdsecond quarter of 2021 were $513,900 compared to $627,300 in the second quarter of 2020, were $754,800 compared to $637,500 in the third quartera decrease of 2019, an increase of $117,300,$113,400, or approximately 18%.

The decreaseincrease in licenses, royalties and fees in the thirdsecond quarter of 20202021 compared to the thirdsecond quarter of 20192020 is due primarily to lowerhigher royalties from our Company’s licensees in bothentertainment and toy products market offset in part by lower revenues from our Company’s licensees in the security markets which continue to be negatively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and the variants of COVID-19 that have recently been identified. 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 ongoing COVID-19 pandemic that is continuing to negatively impact all worldwide economies.

Product and other sales decreased by $151,200, or approximately 29%, to $369,000 in the second quarter of 2021 from $520,200 in the second quarter of 2020. Sales of ink decreased in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the second quarter of 2020 due primarily to lower ink shipments to the third party authorized printer used by one of our Company’s major licensees in the entertainment and toy products market. In the second quarter of 2021, our Company derived revenues of approximately $461,100 from our licensees and their authorized printers in the entertainment and toy products market compared to revenues of approximately $575,200 in the second quarter of 2020.

For the first six months of 2021, revenues were $1,125,300, representing a decrease of $22,300, or approximately 2%, from revenues of $1,147,600 in the first six months of 2020. Licenses, royalties and fees increased by $58,700, or approximately 22%, to $330,400 in the first six months of 2021 from $271,700 in the first six months of 2020. The increase in licenses, royalties and fees is due primarily to higher royalties from our Company’s licensees in entertainment and toy products market offset in part by lower revenues from our Company’s licensees in the security markets.markets which continues to be negatively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and the variants of COVID-19 that have recently been identified. 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.economies along with recently identified variants of the COVID-19 virus.

Sales of ink increaseddecreased in the third quarterfirst six months of 20202021 compared to the third quarterfirst six of 20192020 due primarily to higherlower ink shipments to the third party authorized printersprinter used by twoone of our Company’s major licensees in the entertainment and toy products market offset in part by lower ink shipments to our Company’s licensees in the retail receipt and document fraud market. In the third quarter of 2020, our Company derived revenues of approximately $699,100 from our licensees and their authorized printers in the entertainment and toy products market compared to revenues of approximately $555,900 in the third quarter of 2019.


For the first nine months of 2020, revenues were $1,902,400, representing an increase of $339,400, or approximately 22%, from revenues of $1,563,000 in the first nine months of 2019. The decrease in licenses, royalties and fees is due primarily to lower guaranteed licensing revenue of approximately $200,000 in the first six months of 2020 from one licensee in the entertainment and toy products market as a result of the adoption of ASU 214-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers in the second quarter of 2018. 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 increased by $486,300, or approximately 49%, to $1,477,400 in the first nine months of 2020 from $991,100 in the first nine months of 2019. Sales of ink increased in the nine months of 2020 compared to the first nine months of 2019 due primarily to higher ink shipments to the third party authorized printers used by two of our Company’s major licensees in the entertainment and toy products market offset in part by lower ink shipments to our Company’s licensees in the retail receipt and document fraud market. Our Company derived revenues of approximately $1,727,800$1,022,700 from licensees and their authorized printers in the entertainment and toy products market in the first ninesix months of 20202021 compared to revenues of approximately $1,327,900$1,028,700 in the first ninesix months of 2019.2020.


Our Company’s gross profit decreased to $425,500$280,100 in the thirdsecond quarter of 2021, or approximately 55% of revenues, from $321,500 in the second quarter of 2020, or approximately 56% of revenues, from $429,500 in the third quarter of 2019 or approximately 67%51% 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 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. The lower gross profit in the thirdsecond quarter of 20202021 compared to the thirdsecond quarter of 20192020 results primarily from lower grossrevenues from product and other sales offset in part by higher revenues from licenses, royalties and fees offset in part by higher product and other sales in the thirdsecond quarter of 20202021 compared to the thirdsecond quarter of 2019.2020.


For the first ninesix months of 2020,2021, gross profit was $1,016,000,$671,200, or approximately 53%60% of revenues, compared to $1,084,500,$590,500, or approximately 69%51% of revenues, in 2019.the first six months of 2020. The lowerhigher gross profit in the first ninesix months of 20202021 compared to the first ninesix months of 20192020 results primarily from lowerhigher licenses, royalties and fees due toin the adoptionfirst six months of Topic 606 in 20182021 offset in part by higher grosslower revenues from product and other sales in the first ninesix months of 20202021 compared to the first ninesix months of 2019. 2020.

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. The gross profit from licenses, royalties and fees decreasedincreased to approximately 60%66% in the thirdsecond quarter of 2021 compared to approximately 45% in the second quarter of 2020 compared to approximately 78% in the third quarter of 2019 and to approximately 60%71% of revenues from licenses, royalties and fees in the first ninesix months of 20202021 from approximately 83%60% in the first ninesix months of 2019.2020.


The gross profit, expressed as a percentage of revenues, of product and other sales is dependent on both the overall sales volumes of product and other sales and on the mix of the specific goods produced and/or sold. The gross profit from product and other sales decreased to approximately 56%50% of revenues in the thirdsecond quarter of 20202021 compared to approximately 63%52% of revenues in the thirdsecond quarter of 2019.2020. For the first ninesix months of 2020,2021, the gross profit, expressed as a percentage of revenues, decreasedincreased to approximately 52%55% of revenues from product and other sales compared to approximately 62%49% of revenues from product and other sales in the first ninesix months of 2019.2020. The decrease in bothgross profit in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the second quarter of 2020 is due primarily to lower ink shipments to the third quarterparty authorized printer used by one of our Company’s major licensees in the entertainment and toy products market as well as lower ink shipments to our Company’s licensees in the retail receipt and document fraud market. The increase in gross profit in the first ninesix months of 2021 compared to the first six months of 2020 compared to the third quarter and first nine months of 2019 is due to:primarily to a) a significant increasedecline in the cost of certain raw materials utilized by ourthe Company in the manufacture of certain of its products as a resultprices of price increases relatedthese raw materials that had increased in the first six months of 2020 due to the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on the availability and supply of these raw materials have been at least temporally eased in the third quarter and first ninesix months of 20202021 compared to the third quarter and first ninesix months of 2019 (we are not passing along these cost increases to our customers at this time);2020; b) an unfavorablea favorable mix of products sold whereby the increases in purchases of ourthe Company’s products by the licensed printers of its licensees in the entertainment and toy products market in the thirdfirst six months of 2021 compared to the second quarter and first ninesix months of 2020 compared to the third quarter and first nine monthswere of 2019 were ofhigher margin products manufactured by our Company whose raw material prices were most affected by shortages created by the COVID-19 pandemic and c) increased production salaries related to a staffing addition, higher duties and equipment depreciation in the third quarter and first nine months of 2020 compared to the third quarter and first nine months of 2019.Company.

Our planPlan of operationOperation 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 our 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 assurancesWe cannot assure you 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 requirementsand to provide funding for other business opportunities.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1A.  Risk Factors


The following risk factors supplement the Risk Factors described in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, as amended, and should be read in conjunction therewith.


We expect the COVID-19 pandemic to continue to negatively impact our results of operations, cash flow and financial position.


The negative impact of COVID-19 on our Company’s financial results during the third quarter and first nine months of 2020 resulted primarily from a significant increase in the price of raw materials used in certain of our Company’s products caused by shortages of these ingredients as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic along with a mix of our Company’s products purchased by our licensees’ third party printers toward certain products with formulations that require ingredients whose prices have increased as a result of COVID-19. We expect these higher raw material prices to negatively affect subsequent quarters until the shortages are alleviated. We expect the fourth quarter to see a similar impact from COVID-19 and the various operational adjustments we made.


Other disruptions to our business operations due to COVID-19 with a resultant impact on our results of operations are expected to continue to occur as a result of quarantines of employees and suppliers in areas affected by the outbreak, availability of raw materials required to manufacture our products, disruption of supply chains that provide our raw materials, price increases of raw materials and supplies used in our production processes, facility closures of domestic and international customers who purchase and use our products, and travel and logistics restrictions affecting our inbound and outbound shipments in connection with the COVID-19 outbreak. While we expect this global COVID-19 pandemic to continue to negatively impact our results of operations, cash flow and financial position, the related financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.


The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will negatively impact our results of operations, cash flow and financial position is highly uncertain and cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.


The COVID-19 pandemic has created significant worldwide uncertainty, volatility and economic disruption. The extent to which COVID-19 will negatively impact our results of operations, cash flow and financial position is dependent upon numerous factors, many of which are highly uncertain, rapidly changing and uncontrollable. These factors include, but are not limited to: (i) the duration and scope of the pandemic; (ii) governmental, business and individual actions that have been and continue to be taken in response to the pandemic, including travel restrictions, quarantines, social distancing, work-from-home and shelter-in-place orders and shut-downs; (iii) the impact on U.S. and global economies and the timing and rate of economic recovery; (iv) potential adverse effects on the financial markets and access to capital; (v) potential goodwill or other impairment charges; and (vi) the ability of our licensees and other customers to sell products that utilize or incorporate our technology.
