NATURE OF THE BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS
Lightspace
Corporation (the “Company”, “Lightspace”, “we”, “our”, “us”), incorporated in
August 2001 as a Delaware corporation, provides interactive lighting
entertainment products to numerous industries including children play areas,
retail stores, family entertainment centers, theme parks, fashion shows,
nightclubs, special events, stage lighting & sound, health clubs and
architectural lighting and design.
We
are
subject to certain risks common to technology-based companies in similar stages
of development. Principal risks include uncertainty of growth in market
acceptance for our products; dependence on advances in interactive digital
environments; history of losses since inception; ability to remain competitive
in response to new technologies; costs to defend, as well as risks of losing,
patent and intellectual property rights; reliance on limited number of
suppliers; reliance on outsourced manufacture of our products for quality
control and product availability; ability to increase production capacity to
meet demand for the our products; concentration of our operations in a limited
number of facilities; uncertainty of demand for our products in certain markets;
ability to manage growth effectively; dependence on key members of our
management; limited experience in conducting operations internationally; and
ability to obtain adequate capital to fund future operations.
We
have
incurred net operating losses and negative operating cash flows since inception.
As of September 30, 2008, we had an accumulated retained earnings deficit of
$16,156,990 and a stockholders’ deficit of $1,767,456. We have funded our
operations through September 30, 2008 through the issuance of private and public
placements of equity securities, borrowings from stockholders and others, and
sales of Lightspace products. Our long-term success is dependent upon obtaining
sufficient capital to fund operations and product development, bringing such
products to the worldwide market, and obtaining sufficient sales volume to
be
profitable.
2.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The
consolidated financial statements at September 30, 2008 include the accounts
of
Lightspace Emagipix Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary, organized as of
March 29, 2007. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going
concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction
of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. We have incurred a net loss
from operations of $1,044,797 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.
Further, we have accumulated net losses from operations of $16,156,990 as of
September 30, 2008. Our cash balance at September 30, 2008 was $27,921. These
factors, among others, indicate that there is substantial uncertainty that
we
will continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do
not
include any adjustments related to the recovery of assets and classification
of
liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going
concern.
The
statement of consolidated financial position as of September 30, 2008, the
statements of consolidated operations for the three months and nine months
ended
September 30, 2008 and 2007, the statements of consolidated cash flows for
the
nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, and the statements of
consolidated changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit) for the period from
January 1, 2007 through September 30, 2008 are unaudited. These unaudited
interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and
in
accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q. Such consolidated financial
statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required for
audited consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of our management,
the
unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the
same basis as our annual audited consolidated financial statements and include
all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for
the
fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations, cash flows,
and changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit) for the periods presented. The
results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative
of
the results that can be expected for any other interim period or any fiscal
year.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)
In
February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities - including an Amendment of FASB Statement
No.
115” (“SFAS 159”). Such Statement allows an entity to choose to measure certain
financial instruments and liabilities at fair value. Subsequent measurements
of
these financial instruments and liabilities are to be recognized in the
statement of operations. SFAS 159 was effective for the Company commencing
January 1, 2008. The Company did not elect to remeasure any financial
instruments or liabilities under the provisions of SFAS 159; and accordingly,
the adoption of SFAS 159 did not have an impact on the accompanying consolidated
financial statements.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No.
157, “Defining Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair
value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted
accounting principles, and expands disclosures with respect to measurement
of
fair value. SFAS 157 applies only under other accounting pronouncements that
require or permit fair value measurements and does not require any new fair
value measurements. SFAS 157 was effective for the Company commencing January
1,
2008; however, the FASB has delayed the effective date until January 1, 2009
for
certain nonfinancial assets and liabilities. The adoption of SFAS 157 on January
1, 2008 with respect to the Company’s financial assets and liabilities did not
have an impact on the accompanying consolidated financial
statements.
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions
that affect at the date of the financial statements the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and
the
reported amounts of revenue and expenses. Actual results could differ from
these
estimates.
3.
RECOGNITION OF SALES
We
recognize revenue from the sale of our entertainment systems when all of the
following conditions have been met: (1) evidence exists of an arrangement
with the customer, typically consisting of a purchase order or contract;
(2) our products have been delivered and risk of loss has passed to the
customer; (3) we have completed all of the necessary terms of the contract
possibly including but not limited to, installation of the product and training;
(4) the amount of revenue to which we are entitled is fixed or
determinable; and (5) we believe it is probable that we will be able to
collect the amount due from the customer. To the extent that one or more of
these conditions has not been satisfied, we defer recognition of revenue.
Revenue from maintenance contracts is recorded on a straight-line basis over
the
term of the contract. An allowance for uncollectible receivables is established
by a charge to operations, when in our opinion, it is probable that the amount
due will not be collected.

TECHNOLOGY ACQUISITION AND PRIVATE PLACEMENT OF SECURITIES
On
March
29, 2007, Lightspace Emagipix Corporation (“LEC”), a newly formed, wholly-owned
subsidiary of Lightspace Corporation, entered into an agreement with
Illumination Design Works, Inc. to acquire the assets related to the in-process
development technology emagipix, an interactive lighting technology that
utilizes electroluminescent sheets. On April 30, 2007, LEC completed the
acquisition of the emagipix technology. The purchase price for the emagipix
technology consisted of $300,000 and the issuance of a $950,000 convertible
term
secured non-recourse note to Illumination Design Works, Inc. In connection
with
the acquisition, a former officer and co-founder of Lightspace Corporation
and
the principal owner of Illumination Design Works, Inc. re-commenced employment
with us and was granted options to purchase 250,000 shares of common stock
at an
exercise price of $0.80 per share.

TECHNOLOGY ACQUISITION AND PRIVATE PLACEMENT OF SECURITIES
(continued)
The
$950,000 convertible term secured non-recourse note bears interest at 5% per
annum, payable yearly, and is due and payable on April 30, 2010. The note is
secured by a pledge of 76% of the stock of LEC. The principal of the note is
convertible at any time up and until April 30, 2010, at the option of the
holder, into the common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $0.80
per
share, the fair market value of the Company’s common stock at April 30, 2007.
Upon the occurrence of certain defined events of default by the noteholder,
the
Company has the right to convert the note to common stock at the lower of the
conversion price of $0.80 or current market price of the common
stock.
The
Company accounted for the acquisition of the emagipix technology as the
acquisition of in process research and development and recorded a charge to
operations on April 30, 2007 of $1,306,612, which included legal fees incurred
in connection with the acquisition. The Company’s initial estimates that the
cost to complete the development of the emagipix technology would be between
$1.5 million and $2.0 million and that the technology would be commercially
available within three years have been revised. The Company’s cash situation at
December 31, 2007 and subsequent thereto has necessitated that development
work
of the emagipix technology be deferred until sufficient capital has been raised
to fund the current operations of the Company and thereafter recommence the
development efforts with respect to the emagipix technology.
On
April
30, 2007 the Company closed a private placement of its equity units. The Company
sold 586,173 units at the offering price of $6.40 per unit, resulting in
aggregate proceeds to the Company of $3,751,507. After expenses of the sale
of
$311,507, the net proceeds to the Company were $3,440,000. Each equity unit
consists of: (1) eight shares of common stock; (2) eight warrants to
purchase a total of eight shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.00
per warrant; (3) two warrants to purchase a total of two shares of common
stock at an exercise price of $1.25 per warrant; and (4) two warrants to
purchase a total of two shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.63
per
warrant. The sale of 586,173 units resulted in the issuance of: (1) 4,689,384
shares of common stock; (2) 4,689,384 warrants to purchase a total of 4,689,384
shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per warrant; (3) 1,172,346
warrants to purchase a total of 1,172,346 shares of common stock at an exercise
price of $1.25 per warrant; and (4) 1,172,346 warrants to purchase a total
of
1,172,346 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.63 per warrant.
The
warrants are exercisable at the option of the holder at any time up until April
30, 2012, at which date the warrants expire. In the event of a division of
the
Company’s common stock, the warrants will be adjusted proportionately. The
warrants have been classified permanently within stockholders’ equity, as upon
exercise, the warrant holder can only receive the specified number of common
shares.
In
connection with the sale of the equity units, we paid Griffin Securities, Inc.,
the financial advisor for the private placement, a fee in the amount of $187,575
and issued to Griffin Securities a purchase warrant exercisable for 58,617
units, in the same form sold in the private placement, at an exercise price
of
$6.40 per unit.
The
Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the private placement to
complete the acquisition of the emagipix technology by the payment of the cash
purchase price of $300,000. The balance of the net proceeds was used for general
working capital purposes.
5.
LOSS PER SHARE
Basic
and
diluted net loss per common share are calculated by dividing the net loss by
the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted
net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share, since the effects
of
potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the calculation for all
periods presented as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. Dilutive securities
consist of common stock options, common stock warrants, and convertible debt.

STOCK OPTION BASED COMPENSATION
Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R),
Share-Based
Payment,
addresses
accounting for stock-based compensation arrangements, including stock options
and shares issued to employees and directors under various stock-based
compensation arrangements. This statement requires that we use the fair value
method, rather than the intrinsic-value method, to determine compensation
expense for all stock-based arrangements. Under the fair value method,
stock-based compensation expense is determined at the measurement date, which
is
generally the date of grant, as the aggregate amount by which the expected
fair
value of the equity security at the date of acquisition exceeds the exercise
price to be paid. The resulting compensation expense, if any, is recognized
for
financial reporting over the term of vesting or performance. This statement
was
first effective for us on January 1, 2006 for all prospective stock option
and
share grants of stock-based compensation awards and modifications to all prior
grants.
No
stock
options were granted in the nine month period ended September 30, 2008. In
the
year ended December 31, 2007, we granted to directors, officers and key
employees 4,075,856 options to purchase 4,075,856 shares of common stock at
an
exercise prices ranging from $0.80 to $1.10 per share.
The
provision for stock option-based compensation for the three month periods ended
September 30, 2008 and 2007 was $31,556 and $80,519, respectively. The provision
for stock option-based compensation for the nine month periods ended September
30, 2008 and 2007 was $82,883 and $127,928, respectively. We did not tax affect
the provision for stock-based compensation due to our net operating loss
carryforwards; accordingly, the net loss for the periods was directly increased
by the amount of the provision for stock option-based compensation.
For
all
periods prior to January 1, 2006, we accounted for stock-based compensation
arrangements with employees and directors utilizing the intrinsic-value method.
Under this method, stock-based compensation expense was determined at the
measurement date, which was generally the date of grant, as the aggregate amount
by which the current market value of the equity security exceeds the exercise
price to be paid. The resulting compensation expense, if any, was recognized
for
financial reporting over the term of vesting or performance. We have
historically granted stock-based compensation awards to directors, officers
and
key employees at an exercise price equal to the current market value of our
equity security at the date of grant. Accordingly, no compensation expense
has
been recognized or will be recognized in the financial statements for
stock-based compensation arrangements with directors, officers and key employees
for option grants made prior to January 1, 2006.

Short
term promissory note
On
March
27, 2008 we received a $70,000 loan from two former directors and a stockholder.
The directors’ notes bore interest rate at a 9% annual rate and the stockholder
note was non-interest bearing. All three notes were due and payable on April
28,
2008. The loans were made in connection with a vendor lawsuit which was settled
in March 2008. In April 2008, the short term notes were repaid.
Contingent
promissory note
In
connection with the securityholder debt and equity conversion on April 27,
2006,
$237,381 in principal amount of existing notes held by the former CEO were
converted into a $237,381 contingent promissory note. This note bears interest
at an annual rate of 8% and is payable only if the Company achieves two
consecutive quarters of positive EBITDA (i.e., earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization), aggregating at least $1,000,000, or the Company
raises in a registered public offering of equity cash proceeds of at least
$10 million prior to December 31, 2008. If those conditions are not
met by December 31, 2008, or the former CEO is found to be in breach of the
terms of the severance agreement prior to such date, the note will not be
payable. In addition, Lightspace issued to the former CEO warrants to purchase
361,252 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.80 per share. The
warrants expire in five years, unless the terms for the payment of the
contingent promissory note are not met; in such case, the warrants expire on
March 31, 2009.

NOTES PAYABLE AND LONG TERM DEBT (continued)
Long
term debt
As
part
of the acquisition of the emagipix in-process development technology, we issued
a $950,000 convertible term secured non-recourse note to Illumination Design
Works, Inc. upon the closing of the purchase on April 30, 2007. The $950,000
convertible term secured non-recourse note bears interest at 5% per annum,
payable yearly, and is due and payable on April 30, 2010. The note is secured
by
a pledge of 76% of the stock of LEC. The principal of the note is convertible
at
any time up and until April 30, 2010, at the option of the holder, into the
common stock of Lightspace Corporation at a conversion price of $0.80 per share.
Upon the occurrence of certain defined events of default by the noteholder,
Lightspace has the right to convert the note to common stock at the lower of
the
conversion price of $0.80 or current market price of the common
stock.
The
first
annual payment of interest of $47,500 was due and payable on April 15, 2008.
At
September 30, 2008, Lightspace had made installment payments of $3,958 against
the amount of interest due and is currently in arrears in the monthly
installment payments. The non-payment of the total amount of yearly interest
when due is defined as an event of default under the terms of the note. Upon
an
event of default, and after written notice of such event of default by the
holder of the note, the holder may pursue remedies with respect to the
collection of the principal of the note and unpaid interest. Such remedies
are
limited solely to the collateral security for the note, 76% of the stock of
LEC.
Lightspace has not received written notice of an event of default. In November
2008, Lightspace received notice from the holder of the note of its intention
to
exercise the option to convert the $950,000 principal balance of the note into
the common stock of Lightspace at an exercise price of $0.80 per share
(1,187,500 shares of Lightspace common stock). Upon conversion of the note,
the
collateral security for the note, 76% of the stock of LEC, will be voided.
Lightspace and the holder of the note are negotiating payment terms for the
remaining balance of interest due under the note.

On
April 30, 2007 the our stockholders approved resolutions to increase the
authorized shares of our $0.0001 par value common stock to 75,000,000 authorized

STOCK INCENTIVE PLANS
In
September 2005, our stockholders and Board of Directors approved the 2005 Stock
Incentive Plan (the “2005 Stock Plan”). The 2005 Plan provides that the Board of
Directors may grant up to 72,080 incentive stock options and/or nonqualified
stock options to directors, officers, key employees and consultants. The 2005
Stock Plan provides that the exercise price of each option must be at least
equal to the fair market value of the common stock at the date such option
is
granted. Options expire in ten years or less from the date of grant and vest
over a period not to exceed four years. Concurrent with the adoption of the
2006
Stock Plan in June 2006, no additional options can be issued under the 2005
Stock Plan.
In
June 2006, our stockholders and Board of Directors approved adoption of the
2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2006 Stock Plan”), pursuant to which up to
2,118,622 incentive stock options and/or nonqualified stock options may be
granted to directors, officers, key employees and consultants. The 2006 Stock
Plan provides that the exercise price of each option must be at least equal
to
the fair market value of the common stock at the date such option is granted.
Options expire in ten years or less from the date of grant and vest over a
period as determined by the Board of Directors. In 2007, under the 2006 Stock
Plan, we granted to officers and key employees 830,000 options to purchase
830,000 shares of common stock at exercise prices of $0.80 and $1.10 per option.
We have reserved 2,118,622 shares of common stock for issuance under the 2006
Stock Plan.

STOCK INCENTIVE PLANS (continued)
On
December 10, 2007, our stockholders approved adoption of the 2007 Stock
Incentive Plan (the “2007 Stock Plan”), which had been approved by our Board of
Directors in August, 2007, pursuant to which up to 4,000,000 incentive stock
options and/or nonqualified stock options may be granted to directors, officers,
key employees and consultants. The 2007 Stock Plan provides that the exercise
price of each option must be at least equal to the fair market value of the
common stock at the date such option is granted. Options expire in ten years
or
less from the date of grant and vest over a period as determined by the Board
of
Directors. In 2007, under the 2007 Stock Plan, we granted to directors, officers
and key employees 3,245,856 options to purchase 3,245,856 shares of common
stock
at an exercise price of $1.10 per option. The options vest ratably over a three
year period and expire in ten years. We have reserved 4,000,000 shares of common
stock for issuance under the 2007 Stock Plan.

We
sold 586,173 units at the offering price of $6.40 per unit, resulting in gross
proceeds of $3,751,507. The sale of 586,173 units and the issuance to the
financial advisor of a unit purchase warrant exercisable for 58,617 units
identical to the units sold in the private placement resulted in the issuance
of: (1) 4,689,384 shares of common stock; (2) 468,936 unit warrants to purchase
a total of 468,936 shares of common stock at an exercise price of

warrants to purchase a total of 1,289,580 shares of common stock at an exercise
price of $1.25 per warrant; and (5) 1,289,580 unit warrants to purchase a total
of 1,289,580 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.63 per warrant.
The unit warrants are exercisable at the option of the holder at any time up
until April 30, 2012, at which date the warrants expire. In the event of a
division of our common stock, the warrants will be adjusted proportionately.
The
warrants have been classified permanently within stockholders’ equity, as upon
exercise, the warrant holder can only receive the specified number of common
shares.
We
entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the purchasers of the units,
whereby we had agreed to file a registration statement, within 45 days of the
closing, to register for resale the shares of common stock, warrants and shares
of common stock issuable upon exercise of the unit warrants, included in the
units issued in the private placement to investors and the financial advisor.
As
of September 30, 2008, these securities have not been registered for resale.
At
September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the weighted average exercise price
of
the common stock warrants outstanding was $1.24. At September 30, 2008, the
common stock warrants had an average remaining life of approximately three
and
one half years.

INCOME TAXES
We
have
recorded no provisions or benefits for income taxes for any period presented
due
to the net operating losses incurred and the uncertainty as to the recovery
of
such net operating losses and other deferred tax assets as a reduction of
possible future taxable income, if any.
At
December 31, 2007, we had operating loss carryforwards of approximately
$7,299,000 available to offset future taxable income for United States federal
and state income tax purposes. At December 31, 2007, approximately $4,231,000
of
the operating loss carryforwards were restricted as to yearly usage, as
discussed hereafter. The United States federal tax operating loss carryforwards
expire commencing in 2021 through 2027. The state tax operating loss
carryforwards expire commencing in 2007 through 2012.
The
deferred tax asset related to the operating loss carryforwards, tax credits
and
other items deductible against future taxable income was $3,314,458 at December
31, 2007. The Company has provided a valuation allowance at that date equal
to
the full amount of the deferred tax asset, and will continue to fully reserve
the deferred tax asset until it can be ascertained that all or a portion of
the
asset will be realized.
Our
ability to use the operating loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards
to
offset future taxable income is subject to restrictions enacted in the United
States Internal Revenue Code of 1986. These restrictions severely limit the
future use of the loss carryforwards if certain ownership changes described
in
the code occur. The common stock ownership changes occurring as a result of
the
securityholder debt and equity conversion on April 27, 2006, the conversion
of
senior secured notes on May 3, 2006, and the private placement on April 30,
2007
have resulted in reductions and in limitations in the use of the operating
loss
and tax credit carryforwards. The value of the operating loss carryforwards
on
April 30, 2007, $8,699,000, was reduced to $4,231,000. In future years, such
reduced operating loss carryforwards of $4,231,000 can be used only to offset
approximately $441,000 of taxable income per year, if any. We may use operating
losses and tax credits generated subsequent to the date of the ownership change
without limitation. Therefore, in future years, we may be required to pay income
taxes even though significant operating loss and tax credit carryforwards
exist.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Effective
July 1, 2008, the Company entered into a triple net five-year lease for
approximately 10,700 square feet to be used for office and manufacturing
operations. The terms of this new lease provide for average annual base rental
payments of approximately $102,000 per year. Concurrent with the signing of
the
new lease, the Company entered into a lease termination agreement with the
former landlord for the approximate three remaining years under a five year
lease agreement for office and manufacturing operations entered into effective
May 1, 2006. Under this lease termination agreement, the Company settled all
amounts due under the May 1, 2006 lease by a payment of $75,000. As a result
of
this lease termination agreement, a liability established to evenly spread
monthly lease payments in the amount of $132,909 was no longer required and
was
reversed as an offset to rent expense effective June 30, 2008.
The
Company leases its facilities and certain equipment under non-cancelable
operating leases expiring through June 2013. Total rent expense for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 was $32,580, $129,179, $74,380
and $238,019, respectively.
On
September 30, 2008, we had approximately $745,000 in purchase order commitments
to our vendors. The majority of this amount is due to the manufacturer of our
interactive tiles.

revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was comprised of revenue
from the sale of products, $1,652,072, and other revenue of $263,534, as
represented by deferred maintenance revenue, sales of miscellaneous parts and
other services. In the nine months ended September 30, 2008, there were
forty-seven Lightspace Play new installation sites, six Lightspace Dance new
installation sites and ten Lightspace Design new installation sites,
representing 3,577 interactive tiles. The revenue for the nine months ended
September 30, 2007 was comprised of revenue from the sale of products,
$1,114,566, and other revenue of $68,887, as represented by deferred maintenance
revenue, sales of miscellaneous parts and other services. In the nine months
ended September 30, 2007, there were thirty-three Lightspace Play new
installation sites, three Lightspace Dance new installation site and one
Lightspace Design new installation site, representing 1,709 interactive tiles.
For
the
nine months ended September 30, 2008, sales of Lightspace products were made
to
customers in the United States - $860,394; Europe - $631,906; South America
-
$170,624; Asia/Australia - $158,637; and Canada - $94,045. During this period,
one new Lightspace customer accounted for approximately 24% of revenues. Sales
to this customer aggregate $451,059 in the 2008 nine month period. For the
nine
months ended September 30, 2007, sales of Lightspace products were made to
customers in the United States - $739,325; Europe - $203,675; Asia/Australia
-
$145,953; South America - $74,000; and Canada - $20,500. During this period,
two
customers, each individually, accounted for more than 10% of revenues. Sales
to
these two customers aggregated $378,372 in the 2007 nine month period, or
approximately 32% of total revenue.
Our
product backlog at September 30, 2008 was $233,816, representing 505 interactive
tiles. We expect that this backlog will be installed at customer locations
in
the December 2008 quarter. Cancellation of a signed contract or order included
in product backlog requires the consent of Lightspace.
Product
Cost and Gross Margin
For
the
quarters ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, Lightspace recorded gross margins
of
$97,511, or 21%, and $17,826, or 5%, respectively. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2008 and 2007, Lightspace recorded gross margins of $473,077,
or
25%, and $233,609, or 20%, respectively. The product margin percentage
improvement in the quarter and nine month period ended September 2008 is due
to
increase revenues in the 2008 periods where the fixed product cost is spread
over more units and staff reductions and other expense reductions affected
in
the 2008 periods. Product margins in the nine month period ended September
30,
2008 were unfavorably impacted by $42,000 of provisions for obsolete tooling
and
disputed importation taxes. Product margins in the nine month period ended
September 30, 2007 were unfavorably impacted by a provision of $21,192 for
obsolete materials as a result of engineering design changes. Product cost
includes the direct cost of materials, associated freight charges, and the
allocated per unit cost of the contractor's manufacturing labor, overhead and
profit associated with products sold. For the most part, these costs are
variable and increase or decrease with volume. Product cost also includes our
personnel and related expenses assigned to operations and customer service.
These latter costs tend to be a fixed cost that decreases on a per unit basis
as
volume increases.
Technology
Acquisition
On
March
29, 2007, Lightspace Emagipix Corporation (“LEC”), a newly formed, wholly-owned
subsidiary of Lightspace Corporation, entered into an agreement with
Illumination Design Works, Inc. to acquire the assets related to the in-process
development technology emagipix, an interactive lighting technology that
utilizes electroluminescent sheets. On April 30, 2007, LEC completed the
acquisition of the emagipix technology. The purchase price for the emagipix
technology consisted of $300,000 and the issuance of a $950,000 convertible
term
secured non-recourse note to Illumination Design Works, Inc. In connection
with
the acquisition, a former officer and co-founder of Lightspace Corporation
and
the principal owner of Illumination Design Works, Inc. re-commenced employment
with us and was granted options to purchase 250,000 shares of common stock
at an
exercise price of $0.80 per share.
The
$950,000 convertible term secured non-recourse note bears interest at 5% per
annum, payable yearly, and is due and payable on April 30, 2010. The note is
secured by a pledge of 76% of the stock of LEC. The principal of the note is
convertible at any time up and until April 30, 2011, at the option of the
holder, into the common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $0.80
per
share, the fair market value of the Company’s common stock at April 30, 2007.
Upon the occurrence of certain defined events of default by the noteholder,
the
Company has the right to convert the note to common stock at the lower of the
conversion price of $0.80 or current market price of the common
stock.
The
Company accounted for the acquisition of the emagipix technology as the
acquisition of in process research and development and recorded a charge to
operations in the June 30, 2007 quarter of $1,306,612, which included legal
fees
incurred in connection with the acquisition. The Company initial estimates
that
the cost to complete the development of the emagipix technology would be between
$1.5 million and $2.0 million and that the technology would be commercially
available within three years have been revised. The Company’s cash situation at
December 31, 2007 and subsequent thereto has necessitated that development
work
of the emagipix technology be deferred until sufficient capital has been raised
to fund the current operations of the Company and thereafter recommence the
development efforts with respect to the emagipix technology.
Operating
Expenses
To
conserve cash, Lightspace has undertaken significant staff reductions and other
reductions in all departments. Staff levels, which were at twenty-five full-time
employees at December 31, 2007, were reduced to six employees by June 30, 2008
and have remained at that level through September 30, 2008. Present staffing
levels are as follows: operations
–
2; research
and
development
–
2; and administration
–
2. The
financial
impact of the reduced staff levels was not fully implemented until May of 2008;
accordingly, fully reduced expense levels were not realized until the September
2008 quarter. Additionally, effective July 1, 2008, the Company entered into
a
triple net five-year lease for approximately 10,700 square feet to be used
for
office and manufacturing operations. Concurrent with the signing of the new
lease, the Company entered into a lease termination agreement with the former
landlord for the approximate three remaining years under a five year lease
agreement for office and manufacturing operations entered into effective May
1,
2006. Under this lease termination agreement, the Company settled all amounts
due under the May 1, 2006 lease by a payment of $75,000. As a result of this
lease termination agreement, a liability established to evenly spread monthly
lease payments in the amount of $132,909 was no longer required and was reversed
as an offset to rent expense effective June 30, 2008. The first year base
monthly rental payments under the new lease are $8,194 compared to monthly
rent
payments of $24,682 under the terminated lease.
For
the
quarter ended September 30, 2008, research and development spending was $78,735
compared to $280,645 for the quarter ended September 30, 2007. For the nine
months ended September 30, 2008 research and development spending was $542,213
as compared to $2,072,383 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The
decreased 2008 research and development spending levels is primarily related
to
the acquisition of the Emagipix technology in April 2007 that required a
valuation charge to research and development in the amount of $1,306,612 and
to
staff reductions that were affected in 2008. With the reduction of the research
and development staff from nine employees to two employees during the first
six
months of 2008, research and development expenditures for the period from July
through December of 2008 will be significantly less than the comparable period
of 2007.
For
the
quarter ended September 30, 2008, sales and marketing expenditures were $16,867
as compared to $283,256 for the quarter ended September 30, 2007. For the nine
months ended September 30, 2008 sales and marketing expenditures were $375,762
as compared to $942,680 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The
significant reduction in 2008 sales and marketing expenses is directly related
to the reduction in sales and marketing staff. The sales and marketing staff
of
eight employees at December 31, 2007 has been eliminated. At September 30,
2008,
the Company’s CEO and vice president of operations are maintaining the sales and
marketing function, as the Company shifts to a distributor based sales
organization from a Company based sales organization.
For
the
quarter ended September 30, 2008, administrative expenditures were $144,331
as
compared to $315,861 for the quarter ended September 30, 2007. For the nine
months ended September 30, 2008 administrative expenditures were $515,058 as
compared to $790,247 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The
significant reduction in 2008 administrative expenses is directly related to
the
reduction in staff and other expense reductions. The administrative staff of
four employees at December 31, 2007 had been reduced to two employees at June
30, 2008, and remained at that level through the September 2008 quarter.
Inflation
In
the
opinion of management, inflation has not had a material impact on our
operations.
Net
Interest Expense
Net
interest expense was $28,464 for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 as
compared to $15,257 for the quarter ended September 30, 2007. For the nine
month
period ended September 30, 2008, net interest expense was $84,841 as compared
to
$36,631 in the corresponding period of 2007. The increased net interest expense
in the 2008 periods is due to the issuance in April 2007 of a $950,000 note
in
connection with the purchase of the emagipix technology.
Income
Taxes
We
have
recorded no provisions or benefits for income taxes for any period presented
due
to the net operating losses incurred and the uncertainty as to the recovery
of
such net operating losses and other deferred tax assets as a reduction of
possible future taxable income, if any.
At
December 31, 2007, we had operating loss carryforwards of approximately
$7,299,000 available to offset future taxable income for United States federal
and state income tax purposes. At December 31, 2007, approximately $4,231,000
of
the operating loss carryforwards were restricted as to yearly usage, as
discussed hereafter. The United States federal tax operating loss carryforwards
expire commencing in 2021 through 2027. The state tax operating loss
carryforwards expire commencing in 2007 through 2012.
The
deferred tax asset related to the operating loss carryforwards, tax credits
and
other items deductible against future taxable income was $3,314,458 at December
31, 2007. The Company has provided a valuation allowance at that date equal
to
the full amount of the deferred tax asset, and will continue to fully reserve
the deferred tax asset until it can be ascertained that all or a portion of
the
asset will be realized.
Our
ability to use the operating loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards
to
offset future taxable income is subject to restrictions enacted in the United
States Internal Revenue Code of 1986. These restrictions severely limit the
future use of the loss carryforwards if certain ownership changes described
in
the code occur. The common stock ownership changes occurring as a result of
the
securityholder debt and equity conversion on April 27, 2006, the conversion
of
senior secured notes on May 3, 2006, and the private placement on April 30,
2007
have resulted in reductions and in limitations in the use of the operating
loss
and tax credit carryforwards. The value of the operating loss carryforwards
on
April 30, 2007, $8,699,000, was reduced to $4,231,000. In future years, such
reduced operating loss carryforwards of $4,231,000 can be used only to offset
approximately $441,000 of taxable income per year, if any. We may use operating
losses and tax credits generated subsequent to the date of the ownership change
without limitation. Therefore, in future years, we may be required to pay income
taxes even though significant operating loss and tax credit carryforwards
exist.
Liquidity,
Capital Resources and Cash Flow
We
have
incurred net operating losses and negative operating cash flows since inception.
As of September 30, 2008, we had an accumulated retained earnings deficit of
$16,156,990 and a stockholders’ deficit of $1,767,456. We have funded our
operations through September 30, 2008 through the issuance of private and public
placements of equity securities, borrowings from stockholders and others, and
sales of Lightspace products. Our long-term success is dependent upon obtaining
sufficient capital to fund operations and product development, bringing such
products to the worldwide market, and obtaining sufficient sales volume to
be
profitable. At September 30, 2008, the Company’s cash balance was $27,921. These
factors, among others, indicate that there is substantial uncertainty that
we
will continue as a going concern.
As
part
of the acquisition of the emagipix in-process development technology, we issued
a $950,000 convertible term secured non-recourse note to Illumination Design
Works, Inc. upon the closing of the purchase on April 30, 2007. The $950,000
convertible term secured non-recourse note bears interest at 5% per annum,
payable yearly, and is due and payable on April 30, 2010. The note is secured
by
a pledge of 76% of the stock of LEC. The principal of the note is convertible
at
any time up and until April 30, 2010, at the option of the holder, into the
common stock of Lightspace Corporation at a conversion price of $0.80 per share.
Upon the occurrence of certain defined events of default by the noteholder,
Lightspace has the right to convert the note to common stock at the lower of
the
conversion price of $0.80 or current market price of the common
stock.
The
first
annual payment of interest of $47,500 was due and payable on April 15, 2008.
At
September 30, 2008, Lightspace had made installment payments of $3,958 against
the amount of interest due and is currently in arrears in the monthly
installment payments. The non-payment of the total amount of yearly interest
when due is defined as an event of default under the terms of the note. Upon
an
event of default, and after written notice of such event of default by the
holder of the note, the holder may pursue remedies with respect to the
collection of the principal of the note and unpaid interest. Such remedies
are
limited solely to the collateral security for the note, 76% of the stock of
LEC.
Lightspace has not received written notice of an event of default. In November
2008, Lightspace received notice from the holder of the note of its intention
to
exercise the option to convert the $950,000 principal balance of the note into
the common stock of Lightspace at an exercise price of $0.80 per share
(1,187,500 shares of Lightspace common stock). Upon conversion of the note,
the
collateral security for the note, 76% of the stock of LEC, will be voided.
Lightspace and the holder of the note are negotiating payment terms for the
remaining balance of interest due under the note.
On
April
30, 2007 the Company closed a private placement of its equity units. The Company
sold 586,173 units at the offering price of $6.40 per unit, resulting in
aggregate proceeds to the Company of $3,751,507. After expenses of the offering
of $311,507, the net proceeds to the Company were $3,440,000. Each equity unit
consists of: (1) eight shares of common stock; (2) eight warrants to
purchase a total of eight shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.00
per warrant; (3) two warrants to purchase a total of two shares of common
stock at an exercise price of $1.25 per warrant; and (4) two warrants to
purchase a total of two shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.63
per
warrant. The sale of 586,173 units resulted in the issuance of: (1) 4,689,384
shares of common stock; (2) 4,689,384 warrants to purchase a total of 4,689,384
shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per warrant; (3) 1,172,346
warrants to purchase a total of 1,172,346 shares of common stock at an exercise
price of $1.25 per warrant; and (4) 1,172,346 warrants to purchase a total
of
1,172,346 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.63 per warrant.
In
connection with the sale of the equity units, we paid Griffin Securities, Inc.,
the financial advisor for the private placement, a fee in the amount of $187,575
and issued to Griffin Securities a purchase warrant exercisable for 58,617
units, in the same form sold in the private placement, at an exercise price
of
$6.40 per unit.
The
Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the private placement to
complete the acquisition of the emagipix technology by the payment of the cash
purchase price of $300,000. The balance of the net proceeds was used for general
working capital purposes.
Manufacturing
Operations
We
currently contract for the production and assembly of interactive tiles from
an
independent manufacturing company and have had discussions with other contract
manufacturers as secondary sources for the production and assembly of our
interactive tiles. The current contract manufacturer is ISO certified and,
to
date, we have not experienced either quality or production
difficulties.
Deferred
Revenue and Backlog
Deferred
revenue is represented by: (1) advance deposits received from customers for
the
future purchase and installation of a Lightspace system and (2) the balance
of
deferred maintenance revenue to be recognized as income over the remaining
term
of the maintenance contract. Our product backlog at September 30, 2008 and
December 31, 2007 was $233,816 and $96,280, respectively.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We
have
no off-balance sheet arrangements other than normal lease
arrangements.
Effective
July 1, 2008, the Company entered into a triple net five-year lease for
approximately 10,700 square feet to be used for office and manufacturing
operations. The terms of this new lease provide for average annual base rental
payments of approximately $102,000 per year. Concurrent with the signing of
the
new lease, the Company entered into a lease termination agreement with the
former landlord for the approximate three remaining years under a five year
lease agreement for office and manufacturing operations entered into effective
May 1, 2006. Under this lease termination agreement, the Company settled all
amounts due under the May 1, 2006 lease by a payment of $75,000. As a result
of
this lease termination agreement, a liability established to evenly spread
monthly lease payments in the amount of $132,909 was no longer required and
was
reversed as an offset to rent expense effective June 30, 2008.
The
Company leases its facilities and certain equipment under non-cancelable
operating leases expiring through June 2013. Total rent expense for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 was $32,580, $129,179, $74,380
and $238,019, respectively.
On
September 30, 2008, we had approximately $745,000 in purchase order commitments
to our vendors. The majority of this amount is due to the manufacturer of our
interactive tiles.

Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
The
consolidated financial statements of Lightspace are prepared in conformity
with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These
accounting principles require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. We are also
required to make certain judgments that affect the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, we evaluate
our
estimates and the process under which those estimates are formulated. We develop
our estimates based upon historical experience as well as assumptions that
are
considered to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ
from these estimates.
We
believe that the following critical accounting policies impact the more
significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the financial
statements:
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company recognizes revenue from the sale of its entertainment systems when
all
of the following conditions have been met: (1) evidence exists of an
arrangement with the customer, typically consisting of a purchase order or
contract; (2) the Company’s products have been delivered and risk of loss
has passed to the customer; (3) the Company has completed all of the necessary
terms of the contract generally including but not limited to, installation
of
the product and training; (4) the amount of revenue to which the Company is
entitled is fixed or determinable; and (5) the Company believes it is
probable that it will be able to collect the amount due from the customer.
To
the extent that one or more of these conditions has not been satisfied, the
Company defers recognition of revenue. Revenue from maintenance contracts is
recorded on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract. An allowance
for uncollectible receivables is established by a charge to operations, when
in
the opinion of the Company, it is probable that the amount due to the Company
will not be collected.
Inventory
Inventories
are stated at the lower of cost or market value.
Warranty
Reserve
The
Company’s products are warranted against manufacturing defects for
twelve months following the sale. Reserves for potential warranty claims
are provided at the time of revenue recognition and are based on several factors
including historical claims experience, current sales levels and the Company’s
estimate of repair costs.
Stock-Based
Compensation
Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R),
Share-Based
Payment,
addresses
accounting for stock-based compensation arrangements, including stock options
and shares issued to employees and directors under various stock-based
compensation arrangements. This statement requires that the Company use the
fair
value method, rather than the intrinsic-value method, to determine compensation
expense for all stock-based arrangements. Under the fair value method,
stock-based compensation expense is determined at the measurement date, which
is
generally the date of grant, as the aggregate amount by which the expected
future value of the equity security at the date of acquisition exceeds the
exercise price to be paid. The resulting compensation expense, if any, is
recognized for financial reporting over the term of vesting or performance.
This
statement was first effective for the Company on January 1, 2006 for all
prospective stock option and share grants of stock-based compensation awards
and
modifications to all prior grants.
For
all
periods prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for stock-based
compensation arrangements with employees and directors utilizing the
intrinsic-value method. Under this method, stock-based compensation expense
was
determined at the measurement date, which again is generally the date of grant,
as the aggregate amount by which the current market value of the equity security
exceeds the exercise price to be paid. The resulting compensation expense,
if
any, is recognized for financial reporting over the term of vesting or
performance. The Company has historically granted stock-based compensation
awards to directors, officers and employees and directors at an exercise price
equal to the current market value of the Company’s equity security at the date
of grant. Accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized or will
be
recognized in the financial statements for stock-based compensation arrangements
with directors, officers and employees for grants prior to January 1,
2006.
Stock-based
compensation arrangements with nonemployees or associated with borrowing
arrangements are accounted for utilizing the fair value method or, if a more
reliable measurement, the value of the services or consideration received.
The
resulting compensation expense, if any, is recognized for financial reporting
over the term of performance or borrowing arrangement.
Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Market
risk represents the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in interest rates
and foreign exchange rates. We do not have any material exposure to interest
rate risk. All of our products and services are denominated in United States
dollars, as a result of which we are not exposed to foreign currency risk with
respect to our accounts receivable. All materials and components that we buy
for
the manufacturing of our products are also priced in United States dollars.
We
also did not have any operations outside the United States. Accordingly, we
do
not have any material foreign currency risk at this time.
Item 4.
Controls and Procedures
(a)
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
The
Company conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the
participation of our Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer, of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the
period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, we concluded that
our
disclosure controls and procedures are effective, as of the end of the period
covered by this report, to ensure that information required to be disclosed
in
our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within
the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules
and
forms, and that the information is accumulated and communicated to our
management, including our Chief Executive Officer, as appropriate to allow
timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Since
April 16, 2008, the date that our Chief Financial Officer was released as a
Lightspace employee, our Chief Executive Officer has been serving as both the
Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer (Chief
Financial Officer).
(b)
Changes in internal control over financial reporting.
There
have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting in
connection with the evaluation required under paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15
of
the Exchange Act that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2008
that
have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our
internal control over financial reporting.
PART
II
–
OTHER
INFORMATION
Item
1. Legal Proceedings
In
October 2007, we were served notice of a wrongful termination claim against
us
by a former employee. The former employee was seeking damages in the amount
of
lost compensation. We believed there was no merit to the lawsuit and intended
to
defend against it. However, to avoid the cost of protracted litigation, on
April
4, 2008, we agreed to settle the former employee’s claim to the mutual
satisfaction of all parties. The settlement of this litigation did not have
a
significant effect on the results of operations for the nine months ended
September 30, 2008.
In
March
2008, we received a letter from a vendor claiming breach of contract and
non-payment of bills due. As of March 28, 2008 approximately $76,000 was owed
to
this vendor. This amount was not in dispute. Additionally, the vendor claimed
to
have purchased approximately $36,000 in materials on our behalf which as of
March 28, 2007, had not been invoiced to the Company. On March 28, 2007, the
case was settled and we agreed to the payment of the $76,000 to be made by
March
31, 2008. The additional $36,000 allegedly owed was settled for approximately
$28,000. On March 28, 2007, the Company obtained short term loans due April
28,
2008 for $70,000 from a stockholder and two ex-directors, the proceeds of which
were used in payment of the $76,000. The short term loans were repaid when
due.
The remaining balance due to the vendor in the approximate amount of $28,000
was
paid prior to June 30, 2008.
During
the normal course of business, we may at times be involved in disputes and/or
litigation with respect to our products, operations or employees. We are not
currently involved in any significant litigation.

3. Defaults upon Senior Securities
As
part
of the acquisition of the emagipix in-process development technology, we issued
a $950,000 convertible term secured non-recourse note to Illumination Design
Works, Inc. upon the closing of the purchase on April 30, 2007. The $950,000
convertible term secured non-recourse note bears interest at 5% per annum,
payable yearly, and is due and payable on April 30, 2010. The note is secured
by
a pledge of 76% of the stock of LEC. The principal of the note is convertible
at
any time up and until April 30, 2010, at the option of the holder, into the
common stock of Lightspace Corporation at a conversion price of $0.80 per share.
Upon the occurrence of certain defined events of default by the noteholder,
Lightspace has the right to convert the note to common stock at the lower of
the
conversion price of $0.80 or current market price of the common
stock.
The
first
annual payment of interest of $47,500 was due and payable on April 15, 2008.
At
September 30, 2008, Lightspace had made installment payments of $3,958 against
the amount of interest due and is currently in arrears in the monthly
installment payments. The non-payment of the total amount of yearly interest
when due is defined as an event of default under the terms of the note. Upon
an
event of default, and after written notice of such event of default by the
holder of the note, the holder may pursue remedies with respect to the
collection of the principal of the note and unpaid interest. Such remedies
are
limited solely to the collateral security for the note, 76% of the stock of
LEC.
Lightspace has not received written notice of an event of default. In November
2008, Lightspace received notice from the holder of the note of its intention
to
exercise the option to convert the $950,000 principal balance of the note into
the common stock of Lightspace at an exercise price of $0.80 per share
(1,187,500 shares of Lightspace common stock). Upon conversion of the note,
the
collateral security for the note, 76% of the stock of LEC, will be voided.
Lightspace and the holder of the note are negotiating payment terms for the
remaining balance of interest due under the note.
