NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 – Nature Of Business
eMagin Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary, Virtual Vision, Inc. (the “Company”), designs, manufactures and supplies OLED-on-silicon microdisplays and virtual imaging products which utilize OLED microdisplays. The Company’s products are sold mainly in North America, Asia, and Europe.
Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of eMagin Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company manages its operations on a consolidated, integrated basis in order to optimize its equipment and facilities and to effectively service its global customer base, and concludes that it operates in a single business segment.
Use of estimates
In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management utilizes certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments related to, among others, allowance for doubtful accounts, warranty reserves, inventory reserves, stock-based compensation expense, deferred tax asset valuation allowances, litigation and other loss contingencies. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue and cost recognition
All of the Company’s revenues are earned from contracts with customers and are classified as either Product or Contract revenues. Contracts include written agreements and purchase orders, as well as arrangements that are implied by customary practices or law.
Product revenue is generated primarily from contracts to produce, ship and deliver OLED microdisplays. eMagin’s performance obligations are satisfied, control of our products is transferred, and revenue is recognized at a single point in time when control transfers to our customer for product shipped. Our customary terms are FOB our factory and control is deemed to transfer upon shipment. The Company has elected to treat shipping and other transportation costs charged to customers as fulfillment activities and are recorded in both revenue and cost of sales at the time control is transferred to the customer. As customers are invoiced at the time control transfers and the right to consideration is unconditional at that time, the Company does not maintain contract asset balances for product revenue. Additionally, the Company does not maintain contract liability balances for product revenues, as performance obligations are satisfied prior to customer payment for product. The Company offers a one-year product warranty, for replacement of product only, and does not allow returns. The Company offers industry standard payment terms that typically require payment from our customers from 30 to 60 days after title transfers.
The Company also recognizes revenues under the over time method from certain research and development (“R&D”) activities (contract revenues) under both firm fixed-price contracts and cost-type contracts. Progress and revenues from research and development activities relating to firm fixed-price contracts and cost-type contracts are generally recognized on an input method of accounting as costs are incurred. Under the input method, revenue is recognized based on efforts expended to date (e.g., the costs of resources consumed or labor hours worked, or machine hours used) relative to total efforts intended to be expended. Contract costs include all direct material, labor and subcontractor costs and an allocation of allowable indirect costs as defined by each contract, as periodically adjusted to reflect revised agreed upon rates. These rates are subject to audit by the other party. Any changes in estimate related to contract accounting are accounted for prospectively over the remaining life of the contract. Under the over time method, billings may not correlate directly to the revenue recognized. Based upon the terms of the specific contract, billings may be in excess of the revenue recognized, in which case the amounts are included in deferred revenues as a liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Likewise, revenue recognized may exceed customer billings in which case the amounts are reported as unbilled receivables. Unbilled revenues are expected to be billed and collected within one year. The incidental costs related to obtaining product sales contracts are non-recoverable from customers; and accordingly, are expensed as incurred.
The Company adopted the provisions of ASC No. 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and related amendments (“ASC 606”) on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective adoption method with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application. During 2017, the Company analyzed its revenue recognition policies under ASC 606 and then current revenue recognition policies and determined that the performance obligations, transaction price, allocation of transaction price, recognition of contract costs and timing of revenue recognition would not be materially impacted by adopting ASC 606. Accordingly, there was no modified retrospective adoption adjustment necessary as of January 1, 2018.
Product warranty
The Company offers a one-year product replacement warranty. In general, the standard policy is to repair or replace the defective products. The Company accrues for estimated returns of defective products at the time revenue is recognized based on historical experience as well as for specific known product issues. The determination of these accruals requires the Company to make estimates of the frequency and extent of warranty activity and estimate future costs to replace the products under warranty. If the actual warranty activity and/or repair and replacement costs differ significantly from these estimates, adjustments to cost of revenue may be required in future periods.
The following table provides a summary of the activity related to the Company's warranty liability, included in other current liabilities, during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 (in thousands):

Research and development expenses
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
Cash and cash equivalents
All highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents.
Accounts receivable
The majority of the Company’s commercial accounts receivable are due from Original Equipment Manufacturers ("OEM’s”). Credit is extended based on an evaluation of a customer’s financial condition and, generally, collateral is not required. Accounts receivable are payable in U.S. dollars, are due within 30-90 days and are stated at amounts due from customers net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Any account outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms is considered past due.
Unbilled accounts receivable
Unbilled receivables principally represent revenues recorded under the over time method of accounting that have not been billed to customers in accordance with the contractual terms of the arrangement. We anticipate that the majority of the balance at December 31, 2018 will be collected during the 2019 fiscal year. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, unbilled accounts receivable was $0.2 million and $ 0.4 million, respectively.
Allowance for doubtful accounts
The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects an estimate of probable losses inherent in the accounts receivable balance. The allowance is determined based on a variety of factors, including the length of time receivables are past due, historical experience, the customer's current ability to pay its obligation, and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. The Company will record a specific reserve for individual accounts when the Company becomes aware of a customer's inability to meet its financial obligations, deterioration in the customer's operating results or financial position, or deterioration in the customer’s credit history. If circumstances related to customers change, the Company would further adjust estimates of the recoverability of receivables. Account balances, when determined to be uncollectible, are charged against the allowance.
Inventories
Inventories are stated on a standard cost basis adjusted to approximate the lower of cost (as determined by the first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value. Cost includes materials, labor, and manufacturing overhead related to the purchase and production of inventories. The Company regularly reviews inventory quantities on hand, future purchase commitments with the Company’s suppliers, and the estimated utility of the inventory. If the Company review indicates a reduction in utility below carrying value, the inventory is reduced to a new cost basis.
Equipment, furniture and leasehold improvements
Equipment, furniture and leasehold improvements are stated at cost. Depreciation on equipment is calculated using the straight-line method of depreciation over the estimated useful life ranging from three to 10 years. Amortization of leasehold improvements is calculated by using the straight-line method over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or lease terms. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
The Company performs impairment tests on its long-lived assets when circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If required, recoverability is tested by comparing the estimated future undiscounted cash flows of the asset or asset group to its carrying value. Impairment losses, if any, are recognized based on the excess of the assets' carrying amounts over their estimated fair values.
Intangible assets
Included in the Company’s intangible assets are patents that are recorded at purchase price as of the date acquired and amortized over the expected useful life which is generally the remaining life of the patent. In 2014, the Company purchased several patents for $290 thousand which are being amortized over their remaining useful life. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, intangible assets were $355 thousand less accumulated amortization of $274 thousand and $220 thousand, respectively. As of December 31, 2018, the weighted average remaining useful life of the patents was approximately 6.9 years.
Total intangible amortization expense was approximately $54 thousand for each of the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Estimated future amortization expense as of December 31, 2018 is as follows (in thousands):

Advertising
Costs related to advertising and promotion of products are charged to sales and marketing expense as incurred. There was no advertising expense for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.
Shipping and handling fees
The Company includes costs related to shipping and handling in cost of goods sold.
Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of changes in tax rates will be recognized as income or expense in the period that the change occurs. A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is recorded when it is more likely than not that some or all of the benefit from the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Changes in circumstances, assumptions and clarification of uncertain tax regimes may require changes to any valuation allowances associated with the Company’s deferred tax assets.
Due to the Company’s operating loss carryforwards, all tax years remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject. In the event that the Company is assessed interest or penalties at some point in the future, it will be classified in the financial statements as tax expense.
On December 22, 2017, the President of the United States signed into law the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”). This legislation makes broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax code, including, but not limited to, (i) reducing the U.S. federal statutory tax rate from 35% to 21%; (ii) eliminating the corporate alternative minimum tax (AMT) and changing how existing AMT credits can be realized; (iii) changing rules related to uses and limitations of net operating loss carryforwards created in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, and (iv) modifying the officer’s compensation limitation. The Company recognizes the effects of changes in tax law, including the TCJA, in the period the law is enacted. Accordingly, the effects of the TCJA have been recognized in the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.
For additional details regarding our accounting for income taxes, see Note 10 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Income (loss) per common share
Basic income (loss) per share (“Basic EPS”) is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted income (loss) per share (“Diluted EPS”) is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period while also giving effect to all potentially dilutive common shares that were outstanding during the reporting period.
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 260, entities that have issued securities other than common stock that participate in dividends with the common stock (“participating securities”) are required to apply the two-class method to compute basic EPS. The two-class method is an earnings allocation method under which EPS is calculated for each class of common stock and participating security as if all such earnings had been distributed during the period. On December 22, 2008, the Company issued Convertible Preferred Stock – Series B which participates in dividends with the Company’s common stock and is therefore considered to be a participating security. The participating convertible preferred stock is not required to absorb any net loss. The Company uses the more dilutive method of calculating the diluted earnings per share, either the two class method or “if-converted” method. Under the “if-converted” method, the convertible preferred stock is assumed to have been converted into common shares at the beginning of the period.
For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company reported a net loss and as a result, basic and diluted loss per common share are the same. Therefore, in calculating net loss per share amounts, shares underlying the potentially dilutive common stock equivalents were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per common share because their effect was anti-dilutive.
The following is a table of the potentially dilutive common stock equivalents for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 that were not included in diluted EPS as their effect would be anti-dilutive:

Comprehensive income (loss)
Comprehensive income (loss) refers to net income (loss) and other revenue, expenses, gains and losses that, under generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded as an element of shareholders’ equity but are excluded from the calculation of net income (loss).
The Company's operations did not give rise to any material items includable in comprehensive income (loss), which were not already in net income (loss) for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017. Accordingly, the Company's comprehensive income (loss) is the same as its net income (loss) for the periods presented.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, short-term investments and accounts payable are stated at cost, which approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The asset based lending facility, (“ABL Facility”) is also stated at cost, which approximates fair value because the interest rate is based on a market based rate plus a margin.
We have categorized our assets and liabilities that are valued at fair value on a recurring basis into three-level fair value hierarchy in accordance with GAAP. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1) and lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3).
Assets and liabilities recorded in the balance sheets at fair value are categorized based on a hierarchy of inputs as follows:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets of identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
The common stock warrant liability discussed in Note 9 is currently the only financial assets or liability recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, and is considered a Level 3 liability. The fair value of the common stock warrant liability is included in current liabilities on the accompanying financial statements as of December 31, 2018, as the warrants are currently exercisable.
The following table shows the reconciliation of the Level 3 warrant liability measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, using significant unobservable inputs (in thousands):

The fair value of the liability for common stock purchase warrants at December 31, 2018 was estimated using the Black Scholes option pricing model based on the market value of the underlying common stock at the measurement date, the five year contractual term of the warrants, risk-free interest rates ranging from 2.47% to 2.49%; no expected dividends and expected volatility of the price of the underlying common stock ranging from 42.1 % to 48.7%.
Stock-based compensation
The Company uses the fair value method of accounting for share-based compensation arrangements. The fair values of stock options are estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. Stock-based compensation expense is reduced for estimated forfeitures and is amortized over the vesting period using the straight-line method.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company evaluates all financial instruments, including issued stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features qualifying as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks.
Concentration of credit risk
The majority of eMagin’s products are sold throughout North America, Asia, and Europe. Sales to the Company’s recurring customers are made generally on open account while sales to occasional customers are typically made on a prepaid basis. eMagin performs periodic credit evaluations on its recurring customers and generally does not require collateral. An allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained for credit losses.
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are deposited with financial institutions which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company invests surplus cash in a government money market fund that consists of U.S
Government obligations and repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. Government Obligations, which is not insured. To date, the Company has not experienced any loss associated with this risk.
Concentrations
The Company purchases principally all of its silicon wafers, which are a key ingredient in its OLED production process, from two suppliers located in Taiwan and Korea.
For the year ended December 31, 2018, no single customer accounted for over 10% of net revenues. For year ended December 31 2017, one customer accounted for over 11% of net revenues. As of December 31, 2018, we had accounts receivable balances from 51 customers in total, and four customers individually had balances of 15%, 12%, 10% and 10%, respectively, of the Company’s consolidated accounts receivable balance and no other single customer accounted for over 10% of the consolidated accounts receivable. At December 31, 2017, the Company had two customers that accounted for 12% and 9% of accounts receivable.
Liquidity and Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will continue to operate as a going concern and which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company incurred a net loss of $9.5 million and used cash in operating activities of $6.4 million. At December 31, 2018, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $3.4 million, net working capital of $8.8 million, no outstanding debt, and borrowing availability under its ABL Facility of $4.1 million.
Due to continuing losses, the Company’s financial position, and uncertainty regarding the Company’s ability to borrow under its ABL Facility, the Company may not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due without additional financing or sources of capital. Management is prepared to reduce expenses and raise additional capital, but there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in sufficiently reducing expenses or raising capital to meet its operating needs.
The Company’s ABL Facility expires on December 31, 2019 and, while relations with the lender are positive, there is no assurance the lender will renew or extend this facility, or continue to make funds available during 2019 and beyond at present availability levels, or at all. Therefore, in accordance with applicable accounting guidance, and based on the Company’s current financial condition and availability of funds, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern through March 31, 2020.
Based on the Company’s current projections and the availability of the ABL Facility, the Company estimates it will have sufficient liquidity through the end of the first quarter of 2020. However, there can be no assurance projected results will be achieved or funds will be available under our ABL Facility. If actual results are less than projected or additional needs for liquidity arise, the Company may be able to raise additional debt or equity financing and is prepared to reduce expenses or enter into a strategic transaction. However, the Company can make no assurance that it will be able to reduce expenses sufficiently, raise additional capital, or enter into a strategic transaction on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all.
Recently issued accounting standards
In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance which changes the accounting for leases. The guidance requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a right-of-use specified asset for the lease term and, a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases). The new guidance is effective for years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and is to be applied using either a modified retrospective approach, or an optional transition method which allows an entity to apply the new standard at the adoption date with a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The Company expects to adopt ASC 842 in the first quarter of 2019 using modified retrospective approach. Under the new guidance, leases previously defined as operating leases will be presented on the balance sheet. As a result, these leases will be recorded as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability at the present value of the total lease payments. The right-of-use asset will be decremented over the life of the lease on a pro-rata basis resulting in lease expense while the lease liability will be decremented using the interest method (i.e. principal and interest). The Company will elect the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allows the Company to carry forward the historical lease classification. The Company currently expects to elect the short term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify. The Company is finalizing its implementation related to policies, processes and internal controls to comply with the guidance. The Company estimates that the right-of-use asset and lease liability to be recorded on its consolidated balance sheet, as of January 1, 2019 will be approximately $4.5 million. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated statements of operations or its consolidated statement of cash flows.
In August 2018, the FASB issued guidance which adds, amends and removes certain disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements. Among other changes, this standard requires certain additional disclosure surrounding Level 3 assets, including changes in unrealized gains or losses in other comprehensive income and certain inputs in those measurements. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Certain amended or eliminated disclosures in this standard may be adopted early, while certain additional disclosure requirements in this standard can be adopted on its effective date. In addition, certain changes in the standard require retrospective adoption, while other changes must be adopted prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on the Company’s disclosures; however, this guidance does not have a material impact the Company’s financial statements.
Note 3- Impairment of Consumer Night Vision Business Assets
During the quarter ended June 30, 2018 the Company made a decision to exit the business associated with its two consumer night vision products, BlazeSpark and BlazeTorch (the “Consumer Night Vision Business”). The Company’s decision was based on lower than anticipated sales and an assessment performed during the quarter of the anticipated level of additional engineering, marketing and financial resources necessary to modify the products for an expanded market. As a result, the Company concluded an impairment had occurred and wrote-down $2.7 million of related Consumer Night Vision Business inventory, which includes an accrual of $1.4 million of inventory purchased by a contract manufacturer in anticipation of future production, and $0.1 million of production tooling, which are reflected in cost of revenues in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Note 4 – Revenue Recognition
All of the Company’s revenues are earned from contracts with customers and are classified as either Product or Contract revenues. Contracts include written agreements and purchase orders, as well as arrangements that are implied by customary practices or law.
Disaggregation of Revenue
The Company sells products directly to military contractors and OEM’s and who use is displays in a diverse range of applications encompassing the military, and commercial, including medical and industrial, market sectors. Revenues are classified as either military, commercial, consumer or multiple based on management’s knowledge of the customer’s products and markets served by t displays or the R&D contract work. Revenues classified as Multiple are for sales to customers that incorporate the Company’s displays in products that could be used for either Military or Commercial applications. R&D activities are performed for both military customers and U.S. Government defense related agencies and consumer companies. Product and Contract revenues are disclosed on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Accounts Receivable from Customers Accounts receivable, net of allowances, associated with revenue from customers were approximately $3.2 million and $4.5 million as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Contract Assets and Liabilities
Unbilled Accounts Receivables (Contract Assets) - Pursuant to the over time revenue recognition model, revenue may be recognized
prior to the customer being invoiced. An unbilled accounts receivable is recorded to reflect revenue that is recognized when the proportional performance method is applied and such revenue exceeds the amount invoiced to the customer. Unbilled receivables are disclosed on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2018.
Customer Advances and Deposits (Contract Liabilities)
The Company recognizes a contract liability when it has billed and received consideration from the customer pursuant to the terms of a contract but has not yet recognized the related revenue. These billings in excess of revenue are classified as deferred revenue on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Total contract assets and liabilities consisted of the following amounts (in thousands):

On December 21, 2016, the Company entered into an ABL Facility with a lender that provides for up to a maximum amount of $5 million based on a borrowing base equivalent of 85% of eligible accounts receivable plus the lesser of $2 million or 50% of eligible inventory. The interest on the ABL Facility is equal to the Prime Rate plus 3% but may not be less than 6.5% with a minimum monthly interest payment of $2 thousand. The Company shall pay the lender a monthly administrative fee of $1 thousand and an annual facility fee equal to 1% of the maximum amount borrowable under the facility. As of December 31, 2018, the interest rate on outstanding borrowings was 8.5%. The ABL Facility will automatically renew on December 31, 2019 for a one-year term unless written notice to terminate the agreement is provided by either party. In conjunction with entering into the financing, the Company incurred $228 thousand of debt issuance costs including lender and legal costs that will be amortized over the life of the ABL Facility. In accordance with recently issued accounting guidance, the revolving credit facility balance is presented net of these unamortized debt issuance costs on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet. The ABL Facility agreement contains certain lenders remedies that upon events of default, give the bank the ability to terminate the facility before the scheduled maturity date. Accordingly, the Company classifies borrowing under the ABL facility as current liabilities on the accompanying balance sheets.
The ABL Facility is secured by a lien on all receivables, property and the proceeds thereof, credit insurance policies and other insurance relating to the collateral, books, records and other general intangibles, inventory and equipment, proceeds of the collateral and accounts, instruments, chattel paper, and documents. Collections received on accounts receivable are directly used to pay down the outstanding borrowings on the credit facility.
The ABL Facility contains customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. The Company is required to maintain a minimum tangible net worth of $13 million and a minimum working capital balance of $4 million at all times. As of December 31, 2018, we had unused borrowing availability of $4.1 million and were in compliance with all financial debt covenants.
For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, interest expense includes interest paid, or accrued, and amortization or write-off of debt issuance costs of approximately $82 thousand and $363 thousand, respectively, on outstanding debt.
On March 24, 2017, the Company entered into an unsecured debt financing arrangement with Stillwater Trust LLC, an investor who, with affiliates, collectively controlled approximately 46% of the Company’s outstanding common stock. The agreement provided that the Company could borrow, through June 30, 2018, up to $2 million for general working capital purposes and up to an additional $3 million if the Company’s lender did not provide borrowing availability under its normal terms and conditions through its ABL facility. The agreement expired and borrowings would become due upon the earlier of June 30, 2020; or the completion of one or a series of equity financings which raise collectively $5 million or greater of gross proceeds. In accordance with the terms of the agreement, this arrangement expired on May 24, 2017, upon the completion of an equity offering. Upon termination of this facility, the Company wrote off $158 thousand of related debt issuance costs, and recorded a charge to interest expense in the second quarter of 2017.
Note 10 – Income Taxes
New Tax Legislation
On December 22, 2017, the President of the United States signed into law the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”). This legislation makes broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax code, including, but not limited to, (i) reducing the U.S. federal statutory tax rate from 35% to 21%; (ii) eliminating the corporate alternative minimum tax (AMT) and changing how existing AMT credits can be realized; (iii) modifying the officer’s compensation limitation, and (iv) changing rules related to uses and limitations of net operating loss carryforwards created in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017. Specifically, the TCJA limits the amount the Company is able to deduct for net operating loss carryforwards generated in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017 to 80% of taxable income however these net operating loss carryforwards can be carried forward indefinitely. The Company recognizes the effects of changes in tax law, including the TCJA, in the period the law is enacted. Accordingly, the effects of certain provisions of the TCJA have been recognized in the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017. As a result of the change in law, the Company recorded a reduction to its deferred tax assets of $19.0 million and a corresponding reduction to its valuation allowance due to the reduction in the U.S. federal statutory rate from 35% to 21%. In addition, the Company expects to file a claim for a federal tax refund of approximately $0.2 million for its AMT credit carryforward in tax years 2018 to 2021 pursuant to the applicable provisions of the TCJA.
The Company’s preliminary estimate of the effects of the TCJA undertaken at December 31, 2017, including the remeasurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities and the recognition of an income tax benefit related to AMT tax credit carryforwards, was subject to the finalization of management’s analysis related to certain matters, such as developing interpretations of the provisions of the TCJA and the filing of the Company’s tax returns. During 2018, the Company determined that its preliminary estimates were correct and has not recorded any material adjustments related to the finalization of its analysis.
U.S. Treasury regulations, administrative interpretations or court decisions interpreting the TCJA may require further adjustments and changes in our estimates. In all cases, we will continue to make and refine our analysis and calculations as additional information and guidance becomes available and as we gain a more thorough understanding of the tax law.

The Company accounts for income taxes under an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of changes in tax rates will be recognized as income or expense in the period that the change occurs. A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is recorded when it is more likely than not that some or all of the benefit from the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Changes in circumstances, assumptions and clarification of uncertain tax regimes may require changes to any valuation allowances associated with the Company’s deferred tax assets.
As of December 31, 2018, the Company’s deferred tax assets were generated primarily from the federal and state net operating loss, stock based compensation and research and development tax credits. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management determined that it is more likely than not that none of the deferred tax assets will be realized. Therefore, the Company has provided a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets at December 31, 2018 and 2017.
As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company had net deferred tax assets before its valuation allowance of approximately $35 million and $32 million, respectively.
During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company did not utilize its prior years’ net operating loss carryforwards. As of December 31, 2018, eMagin has federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $142.6 million and $9.0 million, respectively. The federal research and development tax credit carryforwards are approximately $2.4 million. The federal net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards will expire as follows:

The utilization of net operating losses can be subject to a limitation due to the change of ownership provisions under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code and similar state provisions. Such limitation may result in the expiration of the net operating losses before their utilization. The Company has done an analysis regarding prior year ownership changes, and it has been determined that the Section 382 limitation on the utilization of net operating losses will currently not materially affect the Company's ability to utilize its net operating losses.
The difference between the statutory federal income tax rate on the Company's pre-tax loss and the Company's effective income tax rate is summarized as follows:

The Company did not have unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2018 and 2017. The Company recognizes interest accrued and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in tax expense. During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company recognized no interest and penalties.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, California, Florida, New York, New Hampshire and Massachusetts. Due to the Company's operating losses, all tax years remain open to examination by major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject.
Note 11 – Warrant Liability
We account for common stock warrants pursuant to applicable accounting guidance contained in ASC 815 "Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity" and make a determination as to their treatment as either equity instruments or a warrant liability.
During January 2018, in conjunction with a registered equity offering and a concurrent private placement that closed in February 2018, the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 4,004,324 common shares at an exercise price of $1.55. As of December 31, 2018, related warrants to purchase 3,974,324 shares of common stock remain outstanding. The warrants have alternative settlement provisions that, at the option of the holder, provide for physical settlement or if, at the time of settlement there is no effective registration statement, a cashless exercise, as defined in the warrant agreement. In addition, in May 2017 the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,650,000 shares at an exercise price of $1.65 that have similar alternative settlement provisions.
Based on analysis of the underlying warrant agreements, and applicable accounting guidance, the Company concluded that these registered warrants require the issuance of registered securities upon exercise and do not sufficiently preclude an implied right to net cash settlement. Accordingly, these warrants were classified on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as a current liability upon issuance and are revalued at each subsequent balance sheet date.
The fair value of the liability for common stock purchase warrants is estimated using the Black Scholes option pricing model based on the market value of the underlying common stock at the measurement date, the contractual term of the warrant, risk-free interest rates, expected dividends and expected volatility of the price of the underlying common stock.
We recorded the liability for the common stock warrants issued in January and February 2018 at an initial fair value of $2.9 million, and a fair value as of December 31, 2018 of $1.5 million. The warrants the company issued in May 2017, had a fair value of $0.8 million at December 31, 2017 and $0.2 million as of December 31, 2018. The combined changes in fair value are reflected as income from change in the fair market value of common stock warrant liability of $2.2 million and $1.1 million in the consolidated statement of operations for the years ended Dcember31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Note 12 – Shareholders’ Equity
Preferred Stock - Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“the Preferred Stock – Series B”)
The Company has designated 10,000 shares of the Company’s preferred stock as Preferred Stock – Series B at a stated value of $1,000 per share. The Preferred Stock – Series B is convertible into common stock at a conversion price of $0.75 per share. The holders of the Preferred Stock – Series B are not entitled to receive dividends unless the Company’s Board of Directors declare a dividend for holders of the Company’s common stock and then the dividend shall be equal to the amount that such holder would have been entitled to receive if the holder converted its Preferred Stock – Series B into shares of the Company’s common stock. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, the Preferred Stock – Series B is entitled to receive liquidation preference before the Common Stock. The Company may at its option redeem the Preferred Stock – Series B by providing the required notice to
the holders of the Preferred Stock – Series B and paying an amount equal to $1,000 multiplied by the number of shares for all of such holder’s shares of outstanding Preferred Stock – Series B to be redeemed.
As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, there were 5,659 shares of Preferred Stock – Series B issued and outstanding.
Common Stock
During the year ended December 31, 2018, options to purchase 99,937 shares were exercised for proceeds of $98 thousand; and warrants to purchase 30,000 shares were exercised for proceeds of $46 thousand.
Underwritten Public Offerings
On May 24, 2017, the Company completed an underwritten offering of 3,300,000 shares of its common stock at an offering price of $2.00 and warrants to purchase up to 1,650,000 shares of common stock and realized net proceeds of $5.9 million dollars after underwriting discounts and offering expenses. The shares and warrants were purchased by a single institutional investor and by Stillwater, LLC, an affiliate of the Company. The Warrants have an exercise price of $2.45 per common share and a term of five years.
On January 25, 2018 the Company entered into an underwriting agreement to issue and sell 9,807,105 shares of Company Common Stock, together with warrants to purchase 3,922,842 shares of Common Stock with an initial exercise price of $1.55 per share (at a public offering price of $1.35 per fixed combination consisting of one share of Common Stock and associated warrant to purchase four tenths of one share of Common Stock). The offering closed on January 29, 2018 and the Company received net proceeds after underwriting discounts and expenses of $11.9 million.
In a concurrent private placement, certain of our directors and officers purchased an aggregate of 203,708 shares of Common Stock, together with warrants to purchase up to 81,487 shares of Common Stock at the public offering price of $1.35 per fixed combination. The private placement closed on February 15, 2018, and the Company received net proceeds of $0.3 million.
In August 2011, our Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase plan authorizing us to repurchase our common stock not to exceed $2.5 million in total value. No shares were repurchased subsequent September 2012. As of December 31, 2017, authorization to repurchase $2.0 million in value of our common stock remained under this plan.
Warrant Transactions
On August 24, 2016, in consideration for the exercise of the 2,216,500 warrant shares, we issued new common stock purchase warrants (the “New Warrants”) to purchase 2,947,949 shares of our common stock which is equal to 133% of the 2,216,500 warrant shares exercised. The New Warrants have an exercise price of $2.60 per share, and are not exercisable for six months from the date of issuance, and have a term of five and a half years from the issuance date.
We raised approximately $4.3 million in net proceeds from the transaction, which was used for general corporate purposes.
At December 31, 2018, there were New Warrants outstanding to purchase 2,947,949 shares of Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $2.60, which expire in February 2023. Warrants to purchase 383,500 shares remaining from the December 2015 issuance were outstanding at December 31, 2018 at an exercise price of $2.05, which expire in June 2021.
In addition, on March 24, 2017 a warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.25 per share, was issued in conjunction with an unsecured line of credit as described in Note 7: Line of Credit, all of which remain outstanding as of December 31, 2018.
On May 24, 2017, as described above, the Company issued warrants to purchase up to 1,650,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.45 in conjunction with a public offering, all of which remain outstanding as of December 31, 2018. As described above, in Note 11. Warrant Liability, the Company determined that these warrants are subject to liability accounting.
In January and February 2018, the Company issued warrants to purchase up to 4,007,689 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $1.55 in conjunction with a public offering and concurrent private placement. The Company determined that these warrants are subject to liability accounting and warrants to purchase 3,977,689 shares remain outstanding at December 31, 2018.
Based on applicable accounting guidance contained in ASC 815 "Derivative s and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity", the Company has determined that all of its outstanding warrants qualify as equity instruments, with the exception of the May 2017, and January and February 2018 Warrants described above.
Note 13 – Stock Compensation
Employee stock purchase plan
In 2005, the shareholders approved the 2005 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”). The ESPP provides the Company’s employees with the opportunity to purchase common stock through payroll deductions. Employees may purchase stock semi-annually at a price that is 85% of the fair market value at certain plan-defined dates. At December 31, 2016, the number of shares of common stock available for issuance was 300,000. As of December 31, 2018, the plan had not been implemented.
Incentive compensation plans
The 2017 Incentive Stock Plan (the “2017 Plan”) adopted and approved by the shareholders on May 25, 2017 provides for grants of common stock and options to purchase shares of common stock to employees, officers, directors and consultants. The 2017 Plan has an aggregate of 2.0 million shares. In 2018, there were 587,350 options granted from this plan. Vesting terms of the options range from immediate vesting to a ratable vesting period of 5 years. Option activity for the year ended December 31, 2018 is summarized as follows:

(1) The expected to vest options are the result of applying the pre-vesting forfeiture rate assumptions to total unvested options.
At December 31, 2018, there were 980,540 shares available for grant under the 2017 Plans. There are 100,428 shares available for grant under older plans.
The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the difference between the exercise price of the underlying options and the quoted price of the Company’s common stock on December 31, 2018 for the options that were in-the-money. As of December 31, 2018 there were 12,375 options that were in-the-money. The Company’s closing stock price was $1.03 as of December 31, 2018. The Company issues new shares of common stock upon exercise of stock options. The intrinsic value of the 2018 options exercised was $77 thousand.
Stock- based compensation
The Company uses the fair value method of accounting for share-based compensation arrangements. The fair value of stock options is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. Stock-based compensation expense is reduced for estimated forfeitures and is amortized over the vesting period using the straight-line method.
The following table summarizes the allocation of non-cash stock-based compensation to the Company’s expense categories for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 (in thousands):

At December 31, 2017, total unrecognized compensation costs related to stock options was approximately $0.5 million, net of estimated forfeitures. Total unrecognized compensation cost will be adjusted for future changes in estimated forfeitures and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.1 years.
The following key assumptions were used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options granted:

The weighted average fair value per share for options granted in 2018 and 2017 was $1.70 and $0.86, respectively.
There were no dividends declared or paid in 2018 or 2017. The Company does not expect to pay dividends in the near future; therefore, it used an expected dividend yield of 0%. The risk-free interest rate used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model is based on the implied yield at the time of grant available on U.S. Treasury securities with an equivalent term. Expected volatility is based on the weighted average historical volatility of the Company’s common stock for the equivalent term. The expected term of options represents the period that the Company’s stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding and was determined based on historical experience and vesting schedules of similar awards.
Note 14 – Commitments and Contingencies
Operating Leases
The Company leases office facilities and office, lab and factory equipment under operating leases. Certain leases provide for payments of monthly operating expenses. The Company currently has lease commitments for space in Hopewell Junction, New York, and Santa Clara, California.
The Company’s corporate headquarters and manufacturing facilities are located in Hopewell Junction, New York. The Company leases approximately 42,000 square feet to house its equipment for OLED microdisplay fabrication, for research and development, and for administrative offices. The lease expires in May 2024. The Company leases approximately 2,000 square feet of office space for design and product development in Santa Clara, California and the lease expires in October 2019.
Rent expense was approximately $1.0 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017. The future minimum lease payments for the years 2018 through 2024 are $1.0 million annually.
Equipment Purchase Commitments
The Company has committed to equipment purchases of approximately $0.8 million at December 31, 2018.
Employee benefit plans
eMagin has a defined contribution plan (the 401(k) Plan) under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, which is available to all employees who meet established eligibility requirements. Employee contributions are generally limited to 15% of the employee's compensation. Under the provisions of the 401(k) Plan, eMagin may match a portion of the participating employees' contributions. For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, there was no employer match.
Change in Control agreements
On November 8, 2017, the Company entered into change in control agreements with certain of its executive officers, non-executive officers and managers. The change in control agreements provide that if the executive’s employment is terminated within the twelve-month period following a change in control of the Company, each executive officer will be entitled to receive a lump sum cash payment equal to their annual base salary and that the Company will pay the Executive’s monthly COBRA health continuation premiums for up to twelve months subsequent to the termination date. The change in control agreements signed with certain non-executive officers and managers are on similar terms, but upon an event of termination, provide for one-half of annual base salary and payment of monthly Cobra health continuation payment for up to six months.
Litigation
From time to time, the Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues for losses related to litigation when a potential loss is probable and the loss can be reasonably estimated. Significant judgment is required to determine the probability that a liability has been incurred and whether such liability is reasonably estimable. All estimates are based on the best information available at the time which can be highly subjective.
During 2015, the Company received a letter from an attorney representing a former employee claiming damages for age discrimination and wrongful termination. In September 2016, this former employee commenced action against the Company in Superior Court for the State of Washington. In February 2017, the former employee’s counsel sent a discovery request to the Company. In December 2017, the parties reached a settlement, upon signature of a related agreement, the expiration of a revocation period and payment of an amount not material to the Company.

During preparation of its 2017 audited financial statements, the Company determined that common stock purchase warrants issued in May 2017, which were originally classified as equity instruments, should have been accounted for as a liability with subsequent changes in fair value reflected in the consolidated statement of operations. The unaudited results for the quarters ended June 30, and September 30, 2017 presented above, reflect an expense of $51 thousand and income of $405 thousand, respectively, related to changes in the fair value of this liability. Accordingly, the second and third quarter 2017 results presented above differ from the unaudited results originally filed for these periods.
