PART I ITEM 1. BUSINESS General Universal Display Corporation (the "Company") is engaged in the research, development and commercialization of Organic Light Emitting Diode ("OLED") technology for use in flat panel displays and other applications. Research is being performed by the Company, Princeton University and the University of Southern California ("USC") (together, the "Research Partners") pursuant to a certain Sponsored Research Agreement funded by the Company (See "Business - Research and Development"). The Company has the exclusive right to commercialize the technology being developed by the Research Partners pursuant to a certain License Agreement (See "Business - Intellectual Property"). The Company is also engaged in research, development and commercialization activities at its headquarters in Ewing, New Jersey. The Company moved its operations to this facility in the fourth quarter of 1999. The Company's present commercialization strategy is to enter into licensing arrangements, joint ventures, joint development agreements, proprietary material evaluation licenses and other strategic alliances for the volume manufacturing of products utilizing the Company's OLED technology. The Company does not presently intend to become a volume manufacturer. The Company anticipates that its OLED technology, if successfully developed, may have a variety of applications, including full color, large area, high resolution, high information content displays, such as laptop and notebook computer screens, computer monitors and televisions. Other applications also include full color small area displays, such as consumer electronic equipment, vehicular dashboard displays, cellular phones and other telecommunication displays, computer games and personal digital assistants, as well as transparent applications such as head-up displays for automobile windshields. The Company was incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in April 1985 under the name Enzymatics, Inc. ("Enzymatics"). Another corporation named "Universal Display Corporation" ("UDC") was incorporated under the laws of the State of New Jersey in June 1994. On June 22, 1995, a wholly owned subsidiary of Enzymatics merged with and into UDC (the "Merger"). UDC, the surviving corporation in the Merger, became a wholly owned subsidiary of Enzymatics and changed its name to "UDC, Inc." Simultaneously with the consummation of the Merger, Enzymatics changed its name to "Universal Display Corporation." Flat Panel Display Industry The market for flat panel displays has been driven by a number of market forces, including, but not limited to, the increasing popularity of portable computers and other consumer electronic devices, the increasing availability of information and visual content of electronic formats, the proliferation of graphical interfaces and emerging multimedia applications and the conversion of traditional analog displays to digital or graphical displays. Existing products that use flat panel displays include notebook and laptop computers, portable televisions, video cameras, cellular phones, pagers, electronic organizers, internet access devices, portable electronic devices, digital watches, calculators, electronic games and audiovisual equipment, copiers, fax machines, telephones and answering machines. In addition, flat panel displays have been utilized in military applications, including missile controls, ground support and communications equipment and avionics. 3 The Company believes that competition in this market, particularly for full color, large area, high resolution, high information content displays, is based upon image and color quality, range of viewing angle, power requirements, cost and manufacturability. The dominant technology for all displays today is the cathode ray tube ("CRT"), the type of technology in most televisions and computer monitors. The dominant technology today for flat panel displays is liquid crystal display ("LCD") technology, the type of technology in most laptop computers. The Company believes LCD technology has certain limitations, such as a limited viewing angle, limited scalability, narrow acceptable temperature ranges, low contrast and inferior image and color quality when compared to CRT displays. The Company believes that flat panel displays utilizing its OLED technology, if successfully developed, will provide for flat panel displays image and color quality, brightness, contrast, scalability and viewing angles comparable or superior to CRT displays and superior to LCD, be manufacturable from light weight, low cost materials and require a relatively low power source. The Company's OLED Technology OLED technology is an emerging technology. There are numerous companies engaged in research, development and commercialization efforts relating to OLED technology. Pioneer Electric Corporation of Japan is currently marketing and selling multi-color OLED devices for applications including automotive displays, consumer electronics equipment and cellular phones. The Company believes that its OLED technology, if fully developed, will have the capability to address many of the limitations of LCD and other developing technologies. Light emitting diodes ("LEDs") are solid-state semiconductor devices that emit light when electrical current passes through them. The color of light emitted by LEDs depends on the band gap of the semiconductor material; narrow band gap materials emit light in the red/orange range and wide band gap materials emit green or blue light. Traditional LEDs are created from inorganic semiconductors. The OLED technology currently under development by the Company and its research partners at Princeton University and USC utilizes a new type of LED created from organic materials. The Company believes that flat panel displays utilizing its OLED technology, if successfully developed, will provide for flat panel displays image and color quality, brightness, contrast and viewing angles comparable or superior to CRT displays and superior to LCD; will be manufacturable from lightweight, low cost materials; will demonstrate efficiency in converting electrical power into light and require very low voltage for operation, which will make the OLED technology compatible for a variety of flat panel display applications which require lightness and portability; and will be scaleable for use in large area, high resolution, high information, full color, flat panel displays. The Company is currently focusing its research, development and commercialization efforts on a number of innovative technology applications for OLEDs. One technology application is based on the fabrication of transparent cathodes. Traditional OLEDs use a reflective metal cathode and a transparent anode. The Company's transparent cathode technology, called TOLED(TM), for transparent OLED, provides the ability to develop transparent and high contrast displays using organic materials. It also provides the ability to build OLEDs on opaque surfaces or active matrix thin film transistors (TFTs) with a greater fill factor and aperture ratio. A second technology application is based upon a novel, vertically stacked pixel structure. This SOLED(TM) (Stacked OLED) application vertically stacks the red, green and blue pixels on top of each other, rather than side by side as in CRTs and LCD's, theoretically providing for very high image resolution, since one pixel can occupy the same space as three or more pixels would in a side-by-side architecture. The SOLED, which was made possible by the creation of the TOLED, permits the independent tuning of color, grayscale and intensity and is expected to allow an individual pixel to emit red, blue and green, either at the same time or separately. Combinations of such colors create additional colors so that each individual pixel will be capable of producing a full range of colors. A third technology application is the fabrication of small molecule organic displays on flexible substrates. Flat panel displays are commonly built on glass. The Company believes that its research partners were the first group to announce the deposition of small molecule OLEDs on a flexible substrate, flexibility being a property that was previously believed to be unique to polymer materials. The FOLED(TM) (Flexible OLED) may allow the potential for conformable, lighter weight and thinner electronic displays. It also provides the possibility of fabricating FOLEDs using potentially low cost "roll to roll" processing methods. 4 A fourth technology application being researched by the Company and its Research Partners is based upon the ability to fabricate an optically pumped organic laser. In the September 25, 1997 issue of the scientific journal, Nature, the researchers at Princeton University and USC announced what they believed to be the first evidence of lasing from vacuum deposited thin films of organic molecules. The Company believes this is a significant first step towards the realization of an electrically pumped, solid-state laser based on organic thin films. A fifth technology application involves the use of novel materials and device structures that emit light in OLEDs through the use of Electrophosphorescent materials (PHOLED(TM)) for high efficiency OLEDs. In conventional OLEDs, the light emission is based on the process of fluorescence. The use of electrophosphorescent materials as dopants enables significantly higher efficiencies for OLED displays. It is believed that the use of the Company's PHOLED technology can be up to four times more efficient than the conventional OLED technology. The Company has entered into a Development and License Agreement with PPG Industries, Inc. to assist it in the development and commercialization of OLED materials. A sixth technology application is called Organic Vapor Phase Deposition (OVPD). OVPD involves the use of a carrier gas stream in a hot walled reactor at low pressure to precisely deposit the thin layers of organic materials used in OLED displays. Conventional OLED fabrication equipment evaporates the organic molecules at high vacuum. The Company has entered into a Development and License Agreement with Aixtron AG, a German company that manufactures precision semiconductor production equipment for inorganic LEDs, to further develop, commercialize and produce manufacturing equipment for OLEDs based on this technology. The Company and its Research Partners are also working on technologies related to processing, patterning, encapsulation, novel device concepts and other areas of development for OLED technologies. While significant advances have been made in the research and development efforts on OLEDs being conducted by the Company and its Research Partners, substantial additional research and development work needs to be performed before products utilizing this technology are manufactured and sold, including issues of operating life, reliability, the development of additional and more fully saturated colors, integration with drive electronics and issues related to scalability into a production environment and cost effective fabrication technologies for transparent, flexible and full color, large area and small area applications. The development of an electrically pumped laser is also necessary before products based on the organic laser are manufactured and sold. There can be no assurance that the necessary research and development work will be successfully completed and that the Company or its licensees will successfully commercialize any products based upon its proprietary technology. Commercialization Strategy and Markets The Company's approach to developing technology and penetrating the electronic display market has three major components: (i) continuing to fund the research and development of OLED technology with its Research Partners and at other academic institutions; (ii) the development of reliable product and process technologies; and (iii) licensing the technology and entering into joint ventures or other strategic relationships with experienced manufacturers (who may have much of the needed infrastructure already in place), suppliers and users of display products, materials and equipment for the manufacture, distribution and sale of OLED display products, materials or equipment using the Company's technology. The Company does not presently intend to become a volume manufacturer of OLED products. The Company believes that the OLED technology under development, could have significant applicability for displays, such as cellular phones, instrumentation displays, consumer electronics, personal digital assistants, projection displays, viewfinders in camcorders, video phones, hand held computers and numerous industrial, medical and military uses. The Company also believes that the OLED technology has potential application in large area, full color displays such as laptop computers, desktop computers and televisions and in numerous defense-related markets. There are also potential markets for transparent devices, for example, as head-up displays on vehicle windshields. The Company believes that an electrically pumped organic semiconductor laser could have applications in a number of markets, including fiber-optic communications, audio compact discs (CDs), CD-ROM drives, DVD Discs, DVD-ROM's, laser printers, rewritable optical storage drives, bar code scanners and digital printing presses. 5 There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to enter into appropriate licensing, joint ventures or other strategic relationships, or that the terms of such relationships, if entered into, would be favorable to the Company. During 2000, the Company entered into three commercial agreements. In July 2000 the Company entered into a Development and License Agreement with Aixtron AG, of Aachen Germany, to further develop and commercialize manufacturing equipment for OLEDs based on a proprietary UDC technology called Organic Vapor Phase Deposition ("OVPD"). Aixtron AG is a world leader in the production of manufacturing equipment for LEDs using MOCVD (Metal-organic chemical vapor deposition) technology. Under the Agreement, UDC and Aixtron are engaging in a joint development program to commercialize OVPD equipment. Aixtron has the exclusive license to produce and sell equipment based on this technology and UDC will receive a royalty from the sale of the equipment. Delivery of the Preproduction OVPD Manufacturing Equipment to UDC's pilot line facility commenced in January 2002. In September 2000 the Company entered into a License Agreement with Motorola, Inc., whereby the Company obtained an exclusive license, with the sole right to sublicense, to 72 US patents, 6 US patents pending, and certain foreign patents of Motorola, Inc. related to OLEDs. The agreement with Motorola also includes the opportunity to meet with their product development group, although there are no assurances that Motorola, Inc. will purchase any products from the Company or its licensees, or use any of the Company's technology in its products. In connection with the rights granted to the Company under the agreement with Motorola, the Company issued to Motorola 200,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock, 300,000 shares of the Company's Convertible Preferred Stock, and warrants to purchase an additional 150,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. See Note 6 in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. In October 2000, the Company entered into a five year Development and License Agreement and a seven year Supply Agreement with PPG Industries, Inc. ("PPG"). A team of PPG scientists and engineers are assisting the Company in developing and commercializing the proprietary OLED materials for which the Company has licensing rights. Based upon initial projected staffing requirements, which provide the full time services of seven PPG employees, plus managerial services, PPG's services were estimated at a value of approximately $11 million over the five-year initial period of the Development and License Agreement. PPG is being compensated in the Company's equity for services under the Development and License Agreement. The Company issued to PPG 150,011 shares of Common Stock for its services from the period of October 1, 2000 through December 31, 2001. The Company also issued PPG seven year warrants to purchase 150,011 shares of the Company's Common Stock at a per share exercise price of $24.28. In February 2002, the Company issued 344,379 shares of Common Stock to PPG for services to be rendered in 2002. The increased number of shares was due to an additional scientist being added to the PPG team, and a reduction in the average Common Stock price of UDC during the year (because the average price of Common Stock for the 90 days preceding December 31, 2001 was less than 65% of the average Common Stock price of the Company as defined in the agreement, the price per share for 2002 was based upon a 90-day average ending on December 31, 2001). The Company anticipates issuing to PPG warrants to purchase approximately 344,379 shares of Common Stock in consideration of PPG's 2002 services. See Note 8 in Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. PPG also has the right to request that the Company grant royalty-bearing licenses to PPG for use of the Company's OLED technology in certain applications. Under the Supply Agreement, PPG will be the exclusive supplier of the Company's proprietary materials through December 31, 2007. PPG will sell the materials to the Company, which will resell them to OLED manufacturers. In 2001 the Company entered into three commercial agreements. In April 2001, the Company and Sony Corporation entered into a non-exclusive Joint Development Agreement focusing on OLED flat panel monitors. Under this Agreement, the parties are developing active matrix OLED displays utilizing UDC's proprietary high efficiency electrophosphorescent material technology and Sony's proprietary low temperature poly silicon active matrix TAC (Top emission Adaptive Current drive) technology. In April 2001, the Company and Luxell Technologies, Inc. entered into a Technology Development and Cross Licensing Agreement. Under this agreement, the parties will work together to combine UDC's Transparent Organic Light Emitting Device (TOLED) technology with Luxell's high contrast Black Layer (TM) technology. Luxell also obtained a royalty bearing license to UDC's TOLED technology and high efficiency materials for their manufacturing, marketing and sales of the combined Black Layer/TOLED displays. UDC will be the licensor of the combined Black Layer/TOLED technology and the parties will share in the revenues from such licensing activities. 6 In October 2001, the Company and Samsung SDI entered into a non-exclusive Joint Development Agreement focusing on portable OLED displays. Under the agreement, the parties are developing active matrix OLED displays utilizing UDC's high efficiency phosphorescent materials and top-emitting device structures with Samsung SDI's low temperature poly silicon active matrix architecture. The Company had the following contracts for programs with agencies of the United States Government during 2001. In June 2001, the contract value of the Company's Prime Contract from the U.S. Department of Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) for the development of ruggedized full-color flexible OLED displays, was increased to approximately $3.0 million from $1.5 million. The program, which commenced on July 1, 2000, was also extended through June 2002. Pursuant to this contract, the government will pay the Company and its subcontractors approximately $1.6 million and the team members need to supply approximately $1.4 million in goods and services towards the objective of the contract, which is known as a cost share. The subcontractors on the Company's team are: Princeton University; USC; Vitex Systems, a Battelle Company; L-3 Communications Corporation; and Penn State University. As of December 31, 2001 the Company has recognized $888,533 in revenue related to this contract. In June 2001, the Company was awarded a $132,009 subcontract by Princeton University, pursuant to an 18-month, $700,000 contract Princeton received from DARPA to develop an understanding of the long-term failure mechanisms of OLEDs and OLED displays. In 2001, the Company completed a two-year, $400,000 Phase II contract from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Small Business Technology Transfer Program for further development of its SOLED technology. This award followed the successful completion by the Company of the Phase I contract. Princeton University is a subcontractor under this contract. As of December 31, 2001, the Company has recognized $400,000 in revenue related to this contract. In February 2001, the Company was awarded a $729,158 Phase II contract under the Department of Defense (DoD) Small Business Innovative Research Program (SBIR) for the development of high efficiency phosphorescent backlights, as a result of the success in the Phase I program. The term of the new program is from February 1, 2001 through March 31, 2003. The Company has subcontracts with Princeton University and USC relating to this Phase II contract. In February 2002, the Company was awarded a $69,951 Phase I contract by the U.S. Department of the Army to demonstrate the feasibility of using three of its proprietary OLED technologies: high-efficiency phosphorescent (PHOLED), transparent (TOLED) and flexible OLED (FOLED) technologies for a conformable, transparent, high resolution, low power display for the U.S. Army. The term of the program is February 6, 2002 through December 7, 2002. The Company is a member of the United States Display Consortium ("USDC"), a cooperative industry/government effort aimed at developing an infrastructure to support a North American flat panel display infrastructure. The USDC's role is to provide a common platform for flat panel display manufacturers, developers, users and the manufacturing equipment and supplier base. It has more than 130 members, as well as support from DARPA. The Company is one of 18 members on the Governing Board of the USDC. Research and Development Research relating to the OLED technology is being conducted at Princeton University's Advanced Technology Center for Photonics and Optoelectronic Materials and at the USC Synthetic Materials Laboratories (on a subcontract basis with Princeton University). In October 1997, the Company entered into a new five year Sponsored Research Agreement (the "1997 Sponsored Research Agreement") for research activities related to Organic Light Emitters, which continues and expands the scope of the Sponsored Research Agreement dated August 1, 1994 (the "1994 Sponsored Research Agreement"). The Company is in process of negotiating an extension to the 1997 Sponsored Research Agreement with Princeton University. In October 1997, the Company, Princeton University and USC also entered into an Amended License Agreement (the "1997 License Agreement"). See "Business--Intellectual Property". The Company is also engaged in research, development and commercialization activities at a 21,000 square foot facility, which it leases in Ewing, New Jersey. The Company moved its operations to an 11,000 square foot facility in the fourth quarter of 1999 and expanded it by an additional 10,000 square feet during 2001. The development of commercially viable applications for the OLED technology is principally dependent on the success of the research efforts of Dr. Stephen Forrest and Dr. Mark Thompson (the "Principal Investigators") conducted pursuant to such agreements. The scope and technical aspects of the research and the resources and efforts directed to such research is subject to the control of Princeton University and the Principal Investigators. 7 The Company paid Princeton University $758,732 in 2001 pursuant to the 1997 Sponsored Research Agreement. The 1997 Sponsored Research Agreement requires the Company to pay up to $4.4 million to Princeton University from July 1998 through July 2002, which period is subject to extension. From inception to December 31, 2001, the Company has paid an aggregate of $4,202,268 under all agreements with Princeton University. The 1997 Sponsored Research Agreement provides that if Dr. Forrest is unavailable to continue to serve as a Principal Investigator, either because he is no longer associated with Princeton University or otherwise, and a successor acceptable to both the Company and Princeton University is not available, Princeton University has the right to terminate the 1997 Sponsored Research Agreement. The Company believes that additional research and development efforts are required for the development of products based upon the OLED technology. See "Business--The Company's OLED Technology". Loss to the Company of the Principal Investigators' services or termination of the 1997 Sponsored Research Agreement would have a material adverse effect on the Company. In December 1999, the Company and the University of California, Berkeley, entered into a Collaboration Agreement under which the parties are engaged in co-development activities and UDC is funding research at that University respecting very low temperature poly silicon TFT fabrication technology compatible with the Company's FOLED technology. That Agreement concluded in 2001. In September 2000, the Company entered into a Collaboration Agreement with Penn State University under which the parties are engaged in co-development activities and UDC is funding research at that University respecting amorphous silicon TFT technology compatible with UDC's phosphorescent materials system. In April 2001, the Company entered into a one year Research Agreement with Massachusetts Institute of Technology ("MIT"), under which the parties are engaged in co-development activities and the Company is funding research at MIT respecting High Efficiency Hybrid Organic/Inorganic Vacuum Deposited Light Emitting Devices. In May 2001, the Company entered into a two year Contract Research Agreement with the Chitose Institute of Science and Technology ("CIST") of Japan relating to High Efficiency OLED devices and materials. Intellectual Property The Company currently owns or has licensing rights to approximately 127 issued US patents, 81 US patents pending and numerous foreign patents and applications. The Company's OLED technology rights are derived principally from two sources. One set of rights is governed by the 1997 Sponsored Research Agreement, and the 1997 License Agreement with Princeton University and USC. Pursuant to such agreements, all patents and other intellectual property rights relating to the OLED technology are the property of Princeton University, or USC, as applicable, and the Company is the worldwide exclusive licensee. The other set of rights are governed by the License Agreement with Motorola, Inc., whereby the Company obtained the license, with the sole right to sublicense, to 78 issued and pending US patents (and additional foreign patents) relating to OLED technology and owned by Motorola, Inc. Fifty-five patents have been issued to Princeton University and the University of Southern California by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in connection with the Sponsored Research. Princeton University and USC have filed approximately 56 additional patent applications relating to the OLED technology in the United States, and have filed for intellectual property protection internationally. In addition, the Company has obtained an exclusive worldwide royalty-free license from USC (the "USC License") to manufacture and market products based on inventions claimed in a patent issued to USC in May 1994, relating to, among other things, a method of depositing ultra-thin, very smooth, ordered organic layers using vacuum deposition. Under an Interinstitutional Agreement between Princeton University and USC, Princeton University manages the intellectual property rights being developed pursuant to the 1994 Sponsored Research Agreement and 1997 Sponsored Research Agreement and licensed to the Company pursuant to the 1997 License Agreement, and the Company is required to reimburse Princeton University for all costs incurred in filing, prosecuting and maintaining patent applications and patents. The Company has the worldwide exclusive license to manufacture and market products based on such patents, pending patent applications and any future patent applications and inventions conceived or discovered under the 1997 Sponsored Research Agreement, and to sublicense those rights. In circumstances where the Company sublicenses the OLED technology (except to affiliates), or sells products utilizing the OLED technology, the Company is required to pay to Princeton University a royalty in the amount of 3% of the Company's net sublicense fees or net sales of products utilizing the OLED technology. This royalty rate is subject to upward adjustments under certain conditions. 8 Under the Motorola License Agreement, the Company obtained a license, with the sole right to sublicense, to 78 issued and pending US patents, and certain foreign patent rights, related to OLED technology and owned by Motorola Inc. These patents cover many aspects of OLED technology, including mixed layer and single layer device architectures, packaging and encapsulation, and proprietary materials and drive circuit architectures. Motorola, Inc. received equity in the Company in consideration for the license. The Company is also obligated to make certain minimum royalty payments to Motorola, Inc. and pay Motorola, Inc. a royalty on the Company's licensing revenues. See Notes 6 and 13 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. There can be no assurance that patents applied for will be obtained or that any such patents will afford the Company and Princeton University commercially significant protection of its OLED technology. In addition, the patent laws of other countries may differ from those of the United States as to the patentability of the OLED technology and the degree of protection afforded. Other companies and institutions may independently develop equivalent or superior technologies and may obtain patent or similar rights with respect thereto. There are a number of other companies and organizations that have been issued patents and are filing additional patent applications relating to OLED technology including Eastman Kodak Company and the companies described in "Competition" below. There can be no assurance that the exercise of the Company's licensing rights respecting its OLED technology being developed by Princeton University and USC will not infringe on the patents of others. In the event of infringement, the Company and Princeton University could, under certain circumstances, be required to obtain a license or modify its methods or other aspects of the OLED technology. Under the 1997 License Agreement, the Company has the right to prosecute at its own expense any infringement of the patent rights. Princeton is entitled to 23% of the net proceeds, if any, received from final judgments in infringement actions respecting the patent rights. In connection with the 1997 License Agreement and the 1997 Sponsored Research Agreement, the Company issued to Princeton University 140,000 shares of Common Stock and 10 year warrants to purchase 175,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $7.25 per share. The Company also issued to USC 60,000 shares of Common Stock and 10 year warrants to purchase 75,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $7.25 per share. Under the 1997 License Agreement, the Company is required to use commercially reasonable efforts to bring the OLED technology to market. This requirement is deemed satisfied provided the Company performs its obligations under the 1997 Sponsored Research Agreement and, upon expiration or termination thereof, the Company invests a minimum of $800,000 per year in research, development, commercialization or patenting efforts respecting the OLED technology. Princeton University has the right to terminate the 1997 License Agreement in certain specified circumstances, and prior to any termination, all disputes under the 1997 License Agreement and the 1997 Sponsored Research Agreement are subject to mediation and arbitration, except those relating to the validity, construction or effect of patents. The United States government, through DARPA, has provided funding to Princeton University and the Company for research activities related to certain aspects of its OLED technology. In the event that all or certain aspects of its OLED technology developed (if any) from the Company's funding to Princeton University is deemed to fall within the planned and committed activities of DARPA's funding, the federal government, pursuant to federal law, could have certain rights relating to the OLED technology, including a license to practice or have practiced on its behalf any such technology and, if the federal government determines that the Company has not taken effective steps to achieve practical application of such technology in a field of use in a reasonable time, require the Company to grant licenses to other parties in any such field of use. In addition, the federal government's rights could restrict the Company's ability to market the OLED technology to the federal government for military and other applications which could have a material adverse effect on the Company. There can be no assurance as to which aspects of the OLED technology the federal government has any rights and the extent of such rights. Continued funding of Princeton University's research activities by the federal government, which is anticipated, may give the federal government rights to aspects of the OLED technology developed in the future. In order to protect Princeton University's tax exempt status, the 1997 License Agreement provides that Princeton University may, in its sole discretion, determine whether, pursuant to the provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, it is required to negotiate the royalties and other considerations payable to Princeton University on products not reasonably conceivable by the parties at the time of execution of the 1994 License Agreement. If Princeton University reasonably concludes that the consideration payable by the Company for any such product is not fair and competitive, Princeton University may exercise its right to renegotiate the royalties and other consideration payable by the Company for any such product prior to the expiration of 180 days after the first patent is filed or other intellectual property protection is sought. The Company has the right to commence arbitration proceedings to challenge Princeton University's exercise of such renegotiation rights. If the parties are unable to agree to royalties and other consideration for such products within a specified period of time, then Princeton University is free to license third parties without repayment of any funds provided under the 1997 Sponsored Research Agreement. 9 The Company and Princeton University may also rely on proprietary know-how and trade secrets and employ various methods to protect concepts, ideas and documentation of their technology. However, such methods may not afford complete protection, and there can be no assurance that others will not independently develop similar know-how or obtain access to the Company's or Princeton University's know-how, trade secrets, concepts, ideas and documentation. Competition The display industry is characterized by intense competition. CRTs currently dominate the television and desktop computer monitor market and improvements in CRTs have further increased display quality. Flat panel displays have been developed and are in commercial use in certain applications where the weight, power requirements, and bulky size of the CRT inhibit its use. Flat panel displays have been available for a significant period of time and a variety of advancements in flat panel displays have been made over the last several years. However, flat panel displays with the capabilities necessary to replace CRTs in all applications have not been developed. The flat panel display market is currently dominated by products utilizing LCD technology and is expected to be dominated by LCD technology for the foreseeable future. The Company believes that LCDs have certain limitations, such as a limited viewing angle, limited scalability, low response rate, low contrast and inferior image and color quality when compared to CRT displays (the current standard for display quality). LCDs are also more expensive to produce than CRTs. However, compared to CRTs, LCD displays are smaller, have lower power requirements (leading to longer battery life), emit no measurable radiation, are not affected by magnetic fields generated by speakers or VCRs and have uniform brightness throughout the screen. Numerous companies, however, are making substantial investments in, and conducting research to improve these characteristics of LCD technology. Several other flat panel display technologies have recently been developed or are being developed, such as field emissive, inorganic electroluminescent, inorganic LED, plasma, and vacuum fluorescent displays. Field emissive displays, which essentially employ an array of miniature CRTs, may be efficient in converting electrical power into light at a relatively low cost, but high voltage power sources and high temperature fabrication equipment may be required. Inorganic electroluminescent displays offer better contrast and broader viewing angles than LCDs and gas plasma displays, but also use more power than LCDs and are difficult to view in bright ambient light. As plasma displays, used in outdoor signs, some laptop computers and recently introduced for large screen televisions are durable and reliable, have long lives and superior video speed (useful in video applications) but have high power requirements; dot matrix display panels on copiers, microwave ovens and video cassette recorders, have superior brightness, are inexpensive and are capable of providing full color, but are difficult to manufacture and have high power requirements, making them unsuitable for portable products. The Company believes that each of these developing technologies may have one or more of the limitations associated with LCD technology or other limitations, such as lack of reliability, high power requirements (restricting portability), high production cost and/or difficulty of manufacture. The Company believes that flat panel displays utilizing its OLED technology, if successfully developed, will provide image and color quality, brightness, contrast, scalability and viewing angles comparable to CRT displays, be manufacturable from light weight, low cost materials and require a relatively low power source. Numerous domestic and foreign companies have developed or are developing CRT, LCD, gas plasma and other display technologies. Substantially all of these competitors, including Sony Corporation, NEC Corporation, Matsushita Corporation, Fujitsu Corporation, Hitachi Corporation, Toshiba Corporation and Samsung Corporation, have greater name recognition and financial, technical, marketing, personnel and research capabilities than the Company. There can be no assurance that the Company's competitors will not succeed in developing technologies and applications that are more cost effective, have fewer display limitations than or have other advantages as compared to its OLED technology. In addition, a number of companies, including those mentioned above, and Eastman Kodak Company, Pioneer Electric Corporation, Sharp Corporation, Sanyo Corporation, TDK Corporation, Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation, Ritek Corporation, Lite Array Corporation, Nippon Seiki Corporation, Seiko-Epson Corporation, Dupont Displays, Cambridge Display Corporation and Idemitsu Corporation are engaged in research, development and commercialization activities with respect to technology using OLEDs. Pioneer Electric Corporation is presently manufacturing products using OLED technology, and other companies have announced plans to manufacture products based on OLEDs. Eastman Kodak and Sanyo Corporation have formed a joint venture, SK Corporation, to manufacture OLED displays and Eastman Kodak Company has licensed its OLED technology to third parties. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to compete successfully, license its technology, or develop commercial applications for its OLED technologies. 10 Employees As of December 31, 2001, the Company has 37 employees, 36 of whom are full-time employees. The Company believes that its relations with its employees are good. Facilities The Company's corporate offices and research facility are located at 375 Phillips Boulevard, Ewing, New Jersey. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES The Company currently leases approximately 21,000 square feet of space for its operations in Ewing, New Jersey. In 1999, the Company signed a lease for 11,000 square feet. The Company entered into a new lease for an additional 10,000 square feet in the Ewing location, which commenced in April 2001. The Company also leases approximately 900 square feet of office space in Coeur D'Alene, Idaho. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS None. ITEM 4.

13 ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS General Since inception, the Company has been engaged, and for the foreseeable future expects to continue to be engaged, exclusively in the research and development and commercialization of its OLED technology for use in flat panel displays and other applications. To date, the Company has generated minimal revenues and does not expect to generate any meaningful revenues for the foreseeable future and until such time, if ever, that it successfully demonstrates that its OLED technology is commercially viable for one or more flat panel display and other applications and receives revenue from license agreements, joint ventures or strategic alliances with third parties with respect to the technology. The Company has incurred significant losses since its inception, resulting in an accumulated deficit of $47,101,825 at December 31, 2001. Results of Operations Year Ended December 31, 2001 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2000 The Company had a net loss applicable to Common shareholders of $18,873,436 (or $1.11 per share) for the year ended December 31, 2001 compared to a net loss applicable to Common shareholders of $9,529,046 (or $.62 per share) for the year ended December 31, 2000. The increase in net loss applicable to Common shareholders was primarily attributed to the following: (i) the increase in cash and non-cash research and development expenses (ii) the increase in non-cash interest expense on convertible promissory notes and (iii) non-cash deemed dividends associated with the private placement in 2001 (see Note 10 in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). The Company earned $1,058,571 from contract research revenue in 2001 compared to $492,756 in 2000. The revenue was derived principally from the following: (i) $723,034 recognized under an 24-month, $2,977,471 Phase I contract received from the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA), (ii) $225,079 recognized under a two-year DoD Phase II SBIR Army Contract, and (iii) $105,536 of final revenue were recognized under a two-year, $400,000 Phase II contract from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Small Business Technology Transfer Program, which was completed on December 31, 2001. The Company also earned $194,330 from the sale of evaluation chemicals to potential OLED display manufacturers. The chemicals are used to evaluate the Company's proprietary OLED material system. The Company commenced evaluation chemical sales in the fourth quarter of 2000. During 2001 the Company received non-refundable cash payments of $450,000 in the aggregate in connection with joint development and technology evaluation agreements, which it recorded as unearned revenue. In 2000, contract revenue consisted of: (i) $20,680 recognized from the final payments under a subcontract with Princeton University, pursuant to a three year, $3 million contract Princeton University received from DARPA, (ii) $70,000 recognized from the completion of a DoD SBIR Phase I program, (iii) $42,113 recognized from a DoD SBIR Phase I Option, (iv) $194,464 recognized from an NSF Phase II program and (v) $165,499 recognized from the DARPA Phase I program. Research and development expenses were $12,385,036 for the year ended December 31, 2001 compared to $7,109,205 for the year ended December 31, 2000. For the year ended December 31, 2001, research and development expenses consisted of: (i) costs incurred in the amount of $5,287,884 for the development of and operations in the Company's facility, (ii) costs incurred in the amount of $940,480 for patent applications, prosecution and other intellectual property rights, (iii) costs incurred in the amount of $833,732 to the Company's Research Partners (see Note 5 in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements) under the 1997 Sponsored Research Agreement, (iv) non-cash charges in the amount of $2,283,182 incurred in connection with the PPG development agreement (see Notes 8 and 11 in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements), (v) a non-cash charge of $1,695,072 for the amortization of the Company's acquired technology (see Note 6 in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements) and (vi) non-cash charges in the amount of $1,344,686 recorded for the warrants and options issued to Scientific Advisory Board members (see Note 11 in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). For the year ended December 31, 2000, research and development expenses consisted of: (i) costs incurred in the amount of $3,422,198 for the development of and operations in the Company's new facility, (ii) costs incurred in the amount of $1,227,184 for patent applications, prosecution and other intellectual property rights, (iii) payments in the amount of $733,230 to the Company's Research Partners (see Note 5 in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements) under the 1997 Sponsored Research Agreement, (iv) a non-cash charge in the amount of $663,111 incurred in connection with the PPG development agreement (see Notes 8 and 11 in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements), (v) a non-cash charge in the amount of $602,683 recorded for the warrants and options issued to Scientific Advisory Board members (see Notes 11 and 14 in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements) and (vi) a non-cash charge of $460,799 for the amortization of the Company's acquired technology (see Note 6 in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). 14 General and administrative expenses were $3,915,854 for the year ended December 31, 2001 compared to $3,261,113 for the year ended December 31, 2000. The increase in general and administrative expenses is mainly due to increased costs associated with the expansion of the Company's facility and additional employees. Year Ended December 31, 2000 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1999 The Company had a net loss of $9,529,046 (or $.62 per share) for the year ended December 31, 2000 compared to a net loss of $5,125,006 (or $.42 per share) for the year ended December 31, 1999. The increase in net loss was primarily attributable to the increase in research and development expenses. The Company earned $492,756 from contract revenue in 2000 compared to $519,536 in 1999. In 2000, contract revenue consisted of: (i) $194,464 recognized from an NSF Phase II program and (ii) $165,499 recognized from a DARPA Phase I program, (iii) $70,000 recognized from the completion of a DoD SBIR Phase I program, (iv) $42,113 recognized from a DoD SBIR Phase I Option, (v) $20,680 recognized from the final payments under a subcontract with Princeton University, pursuant to a three year, $3 million dollar contract Princeton University received from DARPA. In 1999, contract revenue was derived primarily from the continuation of a subcontract with Princeton University, pursuant to a three year, $3 million dollar contract Princeton University received from DARPA and the initial payment from the NSF Phase II program. Research and development expenses were $7,109,205 for the year ended December 31, 2000 compared to $3,171,497 for the year ended December 31, 1999. For the year ended December 31, 2000, research and development expenses consisted of: (i) costs incurred in the amount of $3,422,198 for the development of and operations in the Company's new facility, (ii) costs incurred in the amount of $1,227,184 for patent applications, prosecution and other intellectual property rights, (iii) payments in the amount of $733,230 to the Company's Research Partners (see Note 5 in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements) under the 1997 Sponsored Research Agreement, (iv) a non-cash charge in the amount of $663,111 incurred in connection with the PPG development agreement (see Notes 8 and 11 in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements), (v) a non-cash charge in the amount of $602,683 recorded for the warrants and options issued to Scientific Advisory Board members (see Notes 9 and 14 in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements) and (vi) a non-cash charge of $460,799 for the amortization of the Company's acquired technology (see Note 6 in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). Research and development expenses in 1999 consisted of (i) costs incurred in the amount of $1,772,584 for the development and construction of and operations in the Company's new facility, (ii) payments in the amount of $854,463 for patent applications, prosecution and other intellectual property rights, (iii) payments in the amount of $544,450 to the Company's Research Partners (see Note 5 in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements) under the 1997 Sponsored Research Agreement. General and administrative expenses were $3,261,113 for the year ended December 31, 2000 compared to $2,727,856 for the year ended December 31, 1999. The increase in general and administrative expenses is mainly due to the commencement of operations in the Company's new facility. Liquidity and Capital Resources As of December 31, 2001, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $7,883,132, restricted cash of $15,162,414 and short-term investments of $4,516,199 compared to cash and cash equivalents of $7,701,040 and short-term investments of $2,704,220 at December 31, 2000. During 2001, warrants and options to purchase 271,431 shares of Common stock were exercised, resulting in net cash proceeds of $1,127,510 to the Company. Also during 2001, the Company received non-refundable cash payments of $450,000 in the aggregate in connection with joint development and technology evaluation agreements, which the Company recorded as unearned income. In the fourth quarter of 2001, the Company commenced construction on the expansion of its current location in Ewing, New Jersey. During the year, the Company incurred costs of $1,376,737 relating to the construction and the purchase of equipment for the expansion. Remaining construction commitments at December 31, 2001 are approximately $844,000. 15 In August 2001, the Company sold in a private placement 5,000 shares of Series C convertible preferred stock ("Series C") and warrants to purchase shares of the Company's Common Stock and issued secured convertible debentures (see Note 10 in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements), resulting in net cash proceeds of $4,496,477 and restricted cash proceeds of $15,000,000. The Company's obligation under the convertible debentures ("Notes") is secured by irrevocable letters of credit issued with a face amount equal to the outstanding principal of the related Notes. The $15,000,000 proceeds from the sale of the Notes has been pledged as collateral to the bank issuing the letters of credit. As the Notes are converted or repaid, the Company has access to the funds raised from the sale of the Notes in amounts corresponding to the portion of the Notes that are converted or repaid. In December 2001, the Company completed the second tranche of its August 2001 private placement by selling 5,000 shares of Series D convertible preferred stock ("Series D") and warrants from the completion of its private placement resulting in additional net cash proceeds of $4,640,602. In December 2001, all shares of Series C and Series D were converted to Common Stock. In the first quarter of 2001, the Company received additional net cash proceeds of $1,348,984 from the completion of its December 2000 private placement issuing an additional 158,704 units. In December 2000, the Company sold in a private placement 631,527 units, each unit consisting of one share of the Company's Common Stock and one warrant with an exercise price of $10.00, resulting in proceeds of $5,367,979. The units were issued at $8.50 per unit. Also, during 2000, warrants and options to purchase 1,754,353 shares of the Company's Common Stock were exercised, resulting in cash proceeds of $6,854,843. Net working capital increased to $17,994,383 at December 31, 2001 from working capital of $9,252,130 at December 31, 2000, due primarily to the proceeds received in connection with the private placements and exercise of warrants and options during 2001. However, the working capital would be $11,120,208 if the restricted cash and debentures were not included. The Company's net cash used in operating activities was $7,702,583, $6,493,590, and $4,298,026 in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Non-cash expenses related to the issuance of Common Stock, warrants and options and the amortization of discounts relating to the issuance of convertible debt (see Note 10 in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements) were $5,705,890, $1,275,794 and $507,025 in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The Company anticipates, based on management's internal forecasts and assumptions relating to its operations (including assumptions regarding working capital requirements of the Company, the progress of research and development, the availability and amount of other sources of funding available to Princeton University for research relating to the OLED technology and the timing and costs associated with the preparation, filing and prosecution of patent applications and the enforcement of intellectual property rights) that it has sufficient cash to meet its obligations for 2002. The 1997 Sponsored Research Agreement requires the Company to pay up to $4.4 million to Princeton University from July 1998 through July 2002, which period is subject to extension. The remaining obligation of the Company under that agreement is $2,357,659. The Company expects funding under this agreement in 2002 to be less than the $1.1 million maximum per the agreement. Substantial additional funds will be required for the research, development and commercialization of OLED technology, obtaining and maintaining intellectual property rights, working capital and other purposes, the timing and amount of which is difficult to ascertain. There can be no assurance that additional funds will be available when needed, or if available, on commercially reasonable terms. Critical Accounting Policies The Company believes the following represent its critical accounting policies: Revenue recognition Contract revenues represent reimbursements by government entities for all or a portion of the research and development costs the Company incurs related to the contracts. Revenues are recognized proportionally as the research and development costs are incurred. Development chemical revenues represent the sale of evaluation chemicals to potential OLED display manufacturers. The chemicals are used to evaluate the Company's proprietary OLED material system. Revenues are recognized at the time of shipment and passage of title. 16 The Company also receives non-refundable advanced license payments in connection with certain joint development and technology evaluation agreements it enters into. These payments are deferred until a license agreement is executed or negotiations have ceased and there is no likelihood of executing a license agreement. Revenues will be recorded over the expected life of the licensed technology, if there is an effective license agreement, or at the time the negotiations show no likelihood of an executable license agreement. Valuation of acquired technology The Company continually reviews its acquired technology for events or changes in circumstances that may indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors considered important which could cause impairment include significant changes in the manner of the Company's use of its acquired patents or the strategy of the Company's overall business and patents owned by competitors or others in the same field of use. ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK The Company does not utilize financial instruments for trading purposes and holds no derivative financial instruments, which could expose the Company to significant market risk. The Company's primary market risk exposure with regard to financial instruments is changes in interest rates. ITEM 8.

F-7 F-1 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS To Universal Display Corporation: We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Universal Display Corporation (a Pennsylvania corporation in the development-stage) and subsidiary as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2001 and for the period from inception (June 17, 1994) to December 31, 2001. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Universal Display Corporation and subsidiary as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2001 and for the period from inception (June 17, 1994) to December 31, 2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. /s/ ARTHUR ANDERSEN LLP Philadelphia, Pennsylvania March 5, 2002 F-2 UNIVERSAL DISPLAY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY (a development-stage company) CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEETS

F-6 UNIVERSAL DISPLAY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY (a development-stage company) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. BACKGROUND: Universal Display Corporation (the "Company"), a development-stage company, is engaged in the research and development and commercialization of organic light emitting diode ("OLED") technology for potential flat panel display applications. The Company, formerly known as Enzymatics, Inc. ("Enzymatics"), was incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on April 24, 1985 and commenced its current business activities on August 1, 1994. The New Jersey corporation formerly known as Universal Display Corporation ("UDC") was incorporated under the laws of the State of New Jersey on June 17, 1994 (Note 3). Research and development of the OLED technology is being conducted at the Advanced Technology Center for Photonics and Optoelectronic Materials at Princeton University and at the University of Southern California ("USC") (on a subcontract basis with Princeton University), pursuant to a Sponsored Research Agreement dated August 1, 1994, as amended (the "1994 Sponsored Research Agreement"), originally between the Trustees of Princeton University ("Princeton University") and American Biomimetics Corporation ("ABC"), a privately held Pennsylvania corporation and affiliate of the Company. In October 1997, the Company entered into a new 5-year Sponsored Research Agreement with Princeton University and USC (the "1997 Sponsored Research Agreement") for research and development of the OLED technology (Note 5). Pursuant to a license agreement dated August 1, 1994 (the "1994 License Agreement") between Princeton University and ABC, assigned to the Company by ABC in June 1995, the Company has a worldwide exclusive license to manufacture and market products based on Princeton University's pending patent application relating to the OLED technology and the right to obtain a similar license to inventions conceived or discovered under the 1994 Sponsored Research Agreement and to sublicense such rights. In October 1997, the Company amended the 1994 License Agreement (the "1997 Amended License Agreement") to modify certain terms of the license (Note 5). The Company is also engaged in research, development and commercialization activities at its 21,000 square foot facility, which is leased in Ewing, New Jersey. In 1999 the Company entered into a lease for 11,000 square feet. The Company moved its operations to this facility in the fourth quarter of 1999. In the second quarter of 2001, the Company signed a lease for an additional 10,000 square feet. The Company is a development-stage entity with no significant operating activity to date. Expenses incurred have primarily been in connection with research and development funding and activities, obtaining financing and administrative activities. The developmental nature of the activities is such that significant inherent risks exist in the Company's operations. Completion of the commercialization of the Company's technology will require funds substantially greater than the Company currently has available. There is no assurance that such financing will be available to the Company, on commercially reasonable terms or at all. The Company anticipates, based on management's internal forecasts and assumptions relating to its operations, that it has sufficient cash, cash equivalents and short term investments to meet its obligations through at least the end of its next fiscal year, which will end December 31, 2002. To the extent that Princeton University's research efforts are not extended past the scheduled agreement termination date of July 31, 2002 or do not result in the development of commercially viable applications for the OLED technology, the Company will not have any meaningful operations. Even if a product incorporating the OLED technology is developed and introduced into the marketplace, additional time and funding may be necessary before significant revenues are realized. While the Company funds the OLED technology research, the scope of and technical aspects of the research and the resources and efforts directed to such research is subject to the control of Princeton University and the principal investigators. Accordingly, the Company's success is dependent on the efforts of Princeton University and the principal investigators. The 1997 Sponsored Research Agreement provides that if certain of the principal investigators are unavailable to continue to serve as principal investigators, because such persons are no longer associated with Princeton University or otherwise, and successors acceptable to both the Company and Princeton University are not available, the 1997 Sponsored Research Agreement will terminate. F-7 2. LIQUIDITY: As of December 31, 2001, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $47,101,825. In addition, the Company has incurred losses since its inception and is subject to those risks associated with companies in the early stages of development. The completion of the commercialization of the Company's technology may require funds substantially greater than the Company currently has available. Management believes that its cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments as of December 31, 2001 are sufficient to fund its operations through December 31, 2002. 3. MERGER, RECAPITALIZATION AND PUBLIC OFFERING: On June 22, 1995, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company consummated an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization ("Merger Agreement") with a New Jersey corporation formerly known as UDC. At the time of the merger, UDC was engaged in the business which is currently being conducted by the Company. Prior to the merger, the Company was known as Enzymatics, an inactive Pennsylvania corporation, and was engaged in a business separate from and unrelated to that of UDC. Enzymatics had incurred significant losses since its inception in 1985 and, notwithstanding a public offering, failed to find significant alternative sources of financing to enable it to continue its operations on any scale. In June 1994, the shareholders of Enzymatics approved the sale of substantially all of its assets to a third party. Management of UDC concluded that merging with a former publicly traded company, and acquiring access to its shareholder base, would facilitate its ability to raise additional capital in the private or public markets. Management of UDC determined that such additional capital would be necessary to fulfill its financial obligations under the Transfer Agreement (as herein defined) pursuant to which it obtained certain rights and obligations related to the OLED technology, obtained funds to commercialize the OLED technology, fund the acquisition of additional intellectual property rights useful to the OLED technology and to fund working capital. As of June 22, 1995, Enzymatics had 523,268 shares issued and outstanding (after giving effect to a reverse stock split of 10.9672) which were not actively traded. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the former Enzymatics shareholders received 523,268 shares of the merged entity's Common Stock. Additionally, Nachman, Hays & Associates (NHA), a consulting firm, received options to purchase 84,234 shares of the merged entity's Common Stock at an exercise price of $.29 per share (Note 11) as payment of NHA's consulting services in connection with the wind-down of Enzymatics. These options were issued to satisfy a liability, which was reflected on the balance sheet of Enzymatics on the date of the merger. The sole director of Enzymatics is also a principal of NHA. The merger was treated, for accounting purposes, as a recapitalization of UDC whereby UDC issued 523,268 shares of Common Stock to the Enzymatics shareholders and assumed Enzymatics shareholders' deficit of $184,160. The assets and liabilities of both companies have been recorded at their historical book values in these financial statements. The assets of Enzymatics consisted of cash and its liabilities consisted of payables related to the merger and other professional fees. Upon consummation of the merger, UDC's shareholders collectively owned approximately 92% of the outstanding shares of the merged entity, with the former Enzymatics shareholders retaining the balance of approximately 8%. UDC was the surviving corporation in the merger, changed its name to UDC, Inc., and, as a result of the merger, became a wholly owned subsidiary of Enzymatics. At the effective time of the merger, Enzymatics changed its name to Universal Display Corporation. Universal Display Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary, UDC, Inc., are herein referred to collectively as the "Company." Contemporaneous with the merger, the Company and ABC entered into a Technology Transfer Agreement dated June 22, 1995 (the "Transfer Agreement") pursuant to which, among other things, ABC assigned the 1994 License Agreement to the Company, and granted to the Company an exclusive worldwide sublicense to patents and other intellectual property rights to display technology developed under a Sponsored Research Agreement dated October 22, 1993 between ABC and Princeton University (the "1993 Sponsored Research Agreement") in exchange for (i) reimbursement of ABC's scheduled payments and expenses previously made to Princeton University under the 1994 Sponsored Research Agreement in the amount of $674,000 and a payment of $500,000 for the sublicense under the 1993 Sponsored Research Agreement which were charged to research and development expense; (ii) the Company's assumption of ABC's obligation to pay all future scheduled payments under the 1994 Sponsored Research Agreement, which were approximately $1,610,000, plus expenses related thereto estimated to be $500,000 for a total of $2,110,000; and (iii) 200,000 shares of the Company's Series A Nonconvertible Preferred Stock (Note 9) with a fair value of $350,000. F-8 Also, contemporaneous with the merger, the Company sold 781,500 units ("Units") at a price of $2.00 per Unit, in a private placement, which generated proceeds of $1,513,000, net of offering expenses in the amount of $50,000. Each Unit consisted of one share of Common Stock and one warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.50 per share. Additionally, 125,000 Units with a fair value of $250,000, based upon the price of the Units, were transferred to a non-affiliate debt holder of ABC to satisfy $250,000 of ABC's outstanding debt. Therefore, the Company had a receivable of this amount from ABC. Accordingly, ABC netted this $250,000 receivable against the Company's payable to related parties. In addition, on July 17, 1995, the Company sold an additional 207,500 Units, which generated gross proceeds of $415,000. On April 11, 1996, the Company consummated a public offering of 1,300,000 shares of Common Stock at a price of $5.00 per share and redeemable warrants to purchase 1,495,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.50 per share, at a price of $.10 per warrant. The Company received net cash proceeds of $5,282,665 from the public offering (excluding $223,263 representing a portion of the offering expenses previously charged to general and administration expenses). 4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Universal Display Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary, UDC, Inc. (Note 3). All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. Management's Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-term Investments The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company classifies its existing marketable securities as available-for-sale in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." These securities are carried at fair market value, with unrealized gains and losses reported in shareholders' equity as a component of other comprehensive income (loss). Gains or losses on securities sold are based on the specific identification method. The Company reported unrealized holding losses of $3,925 at December 31, 2001. The gross proceeds from sales and maturities of investments were $5,284,000 and $4,964,461 for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Gross realized gains and losses for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 were not material. Fair Value of Financial Instruments Cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, restricted cash, contract research receivables, prepaids and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and redeemable Common Stock are reflected in the accompanying financial statements at fair value due to the short-term nature of those instruments. The carrying amount of capital lease obligations approximate fair value at the balance sheet dates. The carrying amount of the convertible promissory notes approximates fair value at December 31, 2001 (Note 10). Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over 3 to 7 years for office and lab equipment, furniture and fixtures, and the lesser of the lease term or useful life for leasehold improvements. Repair and maintenance costs are charged to expense as incurred. Additions and betterments are capitalized. F-9 Property, plant and equipment consists of the following:
December 31, ----------------------------------- 2001 2000 ----------- ------------ Office and lab equipment $ 4,652,925 $ 1,742,667 Furniture and fixtures 146,496 102,014 Leasehold improvements 1,055,298 1,034,533 Construction-in-progress 1,226,370 2,464,927 ----------- ------------ 7,081,089 5,344,141 Less: Accumulated depreciation (1,784,912) (713,884) ----------- ------------ $ 5,296,177 $ 4,630,257 =========== ============
Depreciation expense was $1,124,644, $590,284 and $56,368 for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Construction-in-progress costs consist of costs incurred for the expansion of the Company's current leased space and for the acquisition of lab equipment for the Company's facility. Upon completion of construction or commencement of operation of the lab equipment, the costs associated with such assets will be depreciated over its estimated useful life. Acquired Technology Acquired technology consists of acquired license rights for patents and know-how obtained from PD-LD, Inc. and Motorola (Note 6). The intangible asset consists of the following:
December 31, 2001 2000 ------------- ----------- PD-LD, Inc. $ 1,481,250 $ 1,481,250 Motorola 15,469,468 15,469,468 ------------- ----------- 16,950,718 16,950,718 Less: Accumulated amortization (2,155,871) (460,799) ------------- ----------- Acquired Technology, net $ 14,794,847 $16,498,919 ============= ===========
Acquired technology is amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of ten years. Amortization expense was $1,695,072 and $460,799 for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. There was no amortization expense during 1999. Long-Lived Assets Management continually evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate that the remaining estimated useful life of long-lived assets may warrant revision or that the remaining balance may not be recoverable. When factors indicate that long-lived assets should be evaluated for possible impairment, the Company uses an estimate of the related undiscounted cash flows in measuring whether the long-lived asset should be written down to fair value. Measurement of the amount of the impairment will be based on generally accepted valuation methodologies, as deemed appropriate. As of December 31, 2001, management believed that no revision to the remaining useful lives or write-down of long-lived assets was required and no such revisions were required in 2001, 2000 and 1999. Net Loss Per Common Share Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss applicable to Common shareholders by the weighted-average number of Common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution from the exercise, or conversion of securities into Common Stock. For the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 the effects of the exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS as the impact would be antidilutive. F-10 Revenue Recognition and Deferred License Fees Contract revenues represent reimbursements by government entities for all or a portion of the research and development costs the Company incurs related to the contracts. Revenues are recognized proportionally as the research and development costs are incurred. Development chemical revenues represent the sale of evaluation chemicals to potential OLED display manufacturers. The chemicals are used to evaluate the Company's proprietary OLED material system. Revenues are recognized at the time of shipment and passage of title. The Company also receives non-refundable advanced license payments in connection with certain joint development and technology evaluation agreements it enters into. These payments are deferred until a license agreement is executed or negotiations have ceased and there is no likelihood of executing a license agreement. Revenues will be recorded over the expected life of the licensed technology, if there is an effective license agreement, or at the time the negotiations show no likelihood of an executable license agreement. Research and Development Expenditures for research and development are charged to operations as incurred. Research and development expenses consist of the following:
Year Ended December 31, ---------------------------------------------------------- 2001 2000 1999 ---------------- ---------------- ---------------- Development and operations in the Company's facility $5,287,884 $3,422,198 $ 1,772,584 Patent application expenses 940,480 1,227,184 854,463 Costs incurred to Princeton University and Southern California under the 1997 Sponsored Research Agreements (Note 5) 833,732 733,230 544,450 PPG development agreement (Notes 8 and 11) 2,283,182 663,111 -- Amortization of intangibles 1,695,072 460,799 -- Scientific Advisory Board Compensation (Note 11) 1,344,686 602,683 -- ----------- ----------- ----------- $12,385,036 $ 7,109,205 $ 3,171,497 =========== =========== ===========
Recent Accounting Pronouncements In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141, Business Combinations (SFAS No. 141), and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" (SFAS No. 142), which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. SFAS No. 141 requires all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001, to be accounted for using the purchase method. SFAS No. 142 no longer requires the amortization of goodwill; rather, goodwill will be subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment by applying a fair-value-based test. In addition, an acquired intangible asset should be separately recognized if the benefit of the intangible asset is obtained through contractual or other legal rights, or if the intangible asset can be sold, transferred, licensed, rented, or exchanged, regardless of the acquirer's intent to do so. Such acquired intangible asset will be amortized over the estimated useful lives. All of the Company's intangible assets were obtained through contractual rights and have been separately identified and recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. These intangibles are being amortized over the estimated useful lives or contractual lives as appropriate. Therefore, Management does not expect the adoption of SFAS 142 to have an effect on the consolidated financial statements. In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations" ("SFAS No. 143"), which is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. SFAS No. 143 addresses accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and retirement of assets. Management does not expect that the adoption of SFAS No. 143 will have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements. In October 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS No. 144"). SFAS No. 144 changes the accounting for long-lived assets by requiring that all long-lived assets be measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell, whether included in reporting continuing operations or in discontinued operations. SFAS No. 144, which replaces SFAS 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of" is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 144 to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements. F-11 Statement of Cash Flow Information The following non-cash investing and financing activities occurred:
Year Ended December 31, ------------------------------------------------- 2001 2000 1999 ------------ ------------ ------------ Common Stock issued for the purchase of equipment $ 43,776 $ 387,223 $ 431,000 Unrealized loss on available for sale securities 3,925 -- -- Redeemable Common Stock issued in development agreement (Note 8) -- 570,114 -- Reclassification of Redeemable Common Stock (Note 8) 570,114 -- -- Common Stock, options and warrants to acquire Common Stock in development agreement (Note 8) 2,283,182 663,111 -- Conversion of Series C and D Preferred Stock into Common Stock 10,648 -- -- Deemed dividends to Preferred shareholders (Note 10) 2,517,336 -- -- Capital lease obligations incurred on equipment -- -- 27,120 Common Stock issued to PD-LD for intangibles -- 1,481,250 -- Common Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, and warrants issued for Motorola intangibles -- 15,443,718 -- Accrued offering expenses on private placement transaction -- 311,313 -- Reclassification of accrued expenses to additional paid-in capital for warrants earned in 2000 and issued in 2001 (15,111) -- -- ------------ ------------ ------------ $ 5,413,870 $ 18,856,729 $ 458,120 ============ ============ ============
Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets or liabilities at the end of each period are determined using the tax rate expected to be in effect when taxes are actually paid or recovered. Stock options The Company accounts for its stock option plans (Note 11) under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," under which no compensation cost has been recognized for options issued to employees at fair market value on the date of grant. In 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." SFAS No. 123 established a fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation plans. SFAS No. 123 requires that a company's financial statements include certain disclosures about stock-based employee compensation arrangement regardless of the method used to account for the plan. The Company accounts for its stock option and warrant grants to non-employees in exchange for goods or services in accordance with SFAS No. 123 and Emerging Issues Task Force No. 96-18 ("EITF 96-18"). SFAS 123 and EITF 96-18 requires that the Company account for its option and warrant grants to non-employees based on the fair value of the options and warrants granted. Reclassifications Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. F-12 5. SPONSORED RESEARCH AGREEMENT WITH PRINCETON UNIVERSITY: On October 9, 1997, the Company entered into the 1997 Sponsored Research Agreement with Princeton University and entered into a 1997 Amended License Agreement with Princeton University and USC amending its 1994 License Agreement with Princeton University. The 1997 Sponsored Research Agreement continues and expands the sponsored research, which commenced in 1994 under which the Company funds additional research and development work at Princeton University (and at USC under a subcontract with Princeton University) in OLED technology. The 1997 Sponsored Research Agreement requires the Company to pay up to $4.4 million commencing on July 31, 1998 through July 31, 2002, which period is subject to extension. The Company is in the process of negotiating an extension to the 1997 Sponsored Research Agreement with Princeton University and Management believes that the negotiations will be successful. The amounts due to Princeton University are charged to expense when paid by the Company. Under the 1997 License Agreement, the Company has the worldwide exclusive and perpetual license to manufacture and market products, and to sublicense those rights, based on Princeton University's and USC's pending patent applications relating to the OLED technology and conceived under the 1994 and 1997 Sponsored Research Agreements. The Company is required to pay Princeton University a royalty of 3% of the Company's net sales of products utilizing the OLED technology. In circumstances where the Company sublicenses the OLED technology (except to affiliates), the royalty required to be paid by the Company was reduced in the 1997 License Agreement from 50% to 3%. These royalty rates are subject to upward adjustments under certain conditions. In order to protect Princeton University's tax exempt status, the 1997 License Agreement provides that Princeton University may, in its sole discretion, determine whether, pursuant to the provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, it is required to negotiate the royalties and other considerations payable to Princeton University on products not reasonably conceivable by the parties at the time of execution of the 1994 License Agreement. If Princeton University reasonably concludes that the consideration payable by the Company for any such product is not fair and competitive, Princeton University may exercise its right to renegotiate the royalties and other consideration payable by the Company for any such product prior to the expiration of 180 days after the first patent is filed or other intellectual property protection is sought. The Company has the right to commence arbitration proceedings to challenge Princeton University's exercise of such renegotiation rights. If the parties are unable to agree to royalties and other consideration for such products within a specified period of time, then Princeton University is free to license to third parties without repayment of any funds provided under the 1997 Sponsored Research Agreement. In connection with the 1997 License Agreement and 1997 Sponsored Research Agreement the Company issued, in October 1997, the Company issued 140,000 Common Shares and 175,000 warrants to purchase Common Stock to Princeton University as well as 60,000 Common Shares and 75,000 warrants to purchase Common Stock to the University of Southern California. The Company recorded a charge of $3,120,329 related to the issuance of the Common Stock and warrants to purchase Common Stock to research and development expenses. The value of the warrants were determined in accordance with SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." ("SFAS No. 123") 6. ACQUIRED TECHNOLOGY: On July 19, 2000, the Company, PD-LD, Inc. ("PD-LD") and Princeton University entered into a Termination, Amendment and License Agreement whereby the Company acquired all PD-LD's rights to certain issued and pending patents and technology known as organic vapor phase deposition ("OVPD") in exchange for 50,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. Pursuant to this transaction, the Company has included in its License Agreement with Princeton the exclusive license to all Princeton patents and technology related to OVPD, whether developed pursuant to its research agreements with Princeton or otherwise. The acquisition of these patents had a fair value of $1,481,250 (Note 4). F-13 On September 29, 2000, the Company entered into a license agreement with Motorola, Inc. ("Motorola"). Pursuant to the license agreement, the Company licensed from Motorola 72 US patents, 6 US patent applications, and additional foreign patents. These patents expire between 2012 and 2018. The Company has the sole right to sublicense these Motorola patents to manufacturers. As consideration for the licenses, the Company issued to Motorola 200,000 shares of its Common Stock (valued at $4,412,500), 300,000 shares of its Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (valued at $6,618,750), and a warrant to purchase 150,000 shares of its Common Stock at $21.60 per share. The warrant becomes exercisable on September 29, 2001 and will remain exercisable until September 29, 2008. The warrant was recorded at fair market value of $2,206,234 based on the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and was recorded as a component of the costs of the acquired technology. The Company also issued a warrant to acquire 150,000 shares of Common Stock as a finder's fee in connection with this transaction. The warrant was granted with an exercise price of $21.60 per share. The warrant is exercisable immediately and will remain exercisable until September 29, 2007. This warrant was accounted for at its fair value based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model and $2,206,234 was recorded as a component of the cost of the acquired technology. The Company used the following assumptions in the Black-Scholes option pricing model for the 300,000 warrants issued in connection with this transaction: (1) 6.3% risk-free interest rate, (2) expected life of 7 years, (3) 60% volatility, and (4) zero expected dividend yield. In addition, the Company incurred $25,750 of direct cash transaction costs that have been included in the cost of the acquired technology. In total, the Company recorded an intangible asset of $15,469,468 for the technology acquired from Motorola (Note 4). In addition, the Company will pay to Motorola a royalty based on future sales of products incorporating OLED technology (Note 13). Such royalty payments may be made, at the Company's discretion, in either all cash or (50%) cash and (50%) in shares of Common Stock. The number of shares of Common Stock used to pay the royalty portion shall be equal to 50% of the royalty due divided by the average daily closing price per share of stock over the ten trading days ending two business days prior to the date the Common Stock is issued. 7. ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND ACCRUED EXPENSES: Accrued expenses consist of the following:

8. REDEEMABLE COMMON STOCK, COMMON STOCK AND WARRANTS ISSUED IN DEVELOPMENT AND LICENSE AGREEMENT On October 1, 2000, the Company entered into a 5 year Development and License Agreement with PPG Industries, Inc. ("PPG") to leverage the Company's OLED flat panel display technology with PPG's expertise in the development and manufacturing of organic materials. A team of PPG scientists and engineers are assisting the Company in developing and commercializing its proprietary OLED material system. In consideration for PPG's services under the agreement, the Company will issue shares of its Common Stock and warrants to acquire Common Stock to PPG on an annual basis over the period from January 1, 2001 through December 31, 2005. The amount of securities issued is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances, as defined in the agreement. On November 11, 2000, in consideration for PPG's services through December 31, 2000, the Company issued 26,448 shares of Redeemable Common Shares and an 11.5% promissory note in the amount of $535,300. The note was payable if the Redeemable Common Shares issued were not registered with the SEC by May 31, 2001. The amount of the note was based on the fair market value of the services rendered by PPG through December 31, 2000. The Company recorded a charge to research and development expense of $535,500 in 2000. If the note was paid, then PPG would return the Common Shares previously issued. F-14 In accordance with the PPG agreement, the Company issued 1,720 shares of Common Stock on January 31, 2001. The additional shares were issued as a result of the final accounting for actual costs incurred by PPG. The promissory note was also increased to reflect actual costs incurred through December 31, 2000. Accordingly, the Company accrued $34,814 of additional research and development expense as of December 31, 2000, for these additional shares. On May 11, 2001, a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 covering the resale of the shares of Redeemable Common Stock was declared effective by the SEC. Accordingly, the promissory note was settled and the Redeemable Common Stock was reclassified as Common Stock and additional paid-in capital. In accordance with the agreement, the Company agreed to issue warrants to PPG to acquire 28,168 shares of Common Stock as part of the consideration for services performed during 2000. The warrants were earned during 2000, but not issued until February 2001. The number of warrants earned and issued is based on the number of shares of Common Stock earned by, and issued, to PPG by the Company during the calendar year. The estimated value of the warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The warrants vest immediately, have an exercise price of $24.28 and a contractual life of seven years. Accordingly, the Company recorded a charge of $98,286 to research and development expense during 2000 based on the estimated fair value of the warrants. The Company recorded this charge based on a measurement date of December 31, 2000, which is the date upon which the warrants were earned by PPG. The Company determined the fair value using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: (1) risk free interest rate of 5.3%, (2) no expected dividend yield, (3) expected life of 7 years, and (4) expected volatility of 70%. During the first quarter of 2001, the Company issued 118,824 shares of its Common Stock to PPG as consideration for services to be rendered during 2001. During 2001, the Company recorded the issuance of the shares as a charge of $1,314,640 to research and development expense based on the fair value of the Common Stock as it was earned. In accordance with the PPG agreement, the Company issued 3,019 shares of its Common Stock in February 2002. The additional shares were issued as a result of the final accounting for actual costs incurred by PPG. Accordingly, the Company accrued $27,473 of research and development expense as of December 31, 2001 based on the fair value of the additional shares. The Company also recorded a charge to research and development expense of $804,988 during the year ended December 31, 2001. This charge was recorded based on the estimated fair value of warrants that were earned by PPG during 2001. The estimated fair value was determined based on the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. PPG earned warrants to acquire 121,843 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $24.28. The warrants vest immediately and have a contractual term of seven years. The warrants were issued on February 15, 2002. The Company determined the fair value of the warrants earned during 2001 using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: (1) risk free interest rate of 4.5%-5.6%, (2) no expected dividend yield, (3) expected life of 7 years, and (4) expected volatility of 70%-94%. In accordance with the terms of the PPG agreement, on December 14, 2000, UDC granted options to PPG employees to acquire 26,000 shares of Common Stock. These options vested over a one-year period, have an exercise price of $9.44 per share and expire in 10 years. During 2001 and 2000, the Company recorded a charge of $155,578 and $7,072, respectively, to research and development expense for the fair market value, determined in accordance with the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, of the stock option awards that were earned. On December 17, 2001, the Company granted an additional 26,333 options to PPG employees. These options vest over a one-year period and are exercisable based on the PPG employee's work status on the UDC project at the end of the one-year period. The options have an exercise price of $8.56 per share and expire in 10 years. In 2001 the Company recorded $7,977 in research and development costs related to these options. The Company determined the fair value of the options earned during 2001 and 2000 using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: (1) risk free interest rate of 4.8%-5.3%, (2) no expected dividend yield, (3) expected life of 10 years, and (4) expected volatility of 70%-94%. F-15 9. SERIES A NONCONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK AND SERIES B CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK: Series A Nonconvertible Preferred Stock In 1995, the Company issued 200,000 shares of Series A Nonconvertible Preferred Stock ("Series A") to ABC (Note 3). The Series A has a liquidation value of $7.50 per share. Series A holders, as a single class, have the right to elect two of the Company's Board of Directors. The holders of Series A shares are entitled to one vote per share on matters which shareholders are generally entitled to vote. The Series A holders are not entitled to any dividends. The Series A were valued at $1.75 per share, which was based upon an independent appraisal. Series B Convertible Preferred Stock In 2000, the Company issued 300,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series B") to Motorola (Note 6). The Series B shares rank senior to the Common Stock and any other capital stock of the Company ranking junior to the Series B as to dividends and upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up. There are no restrictions upon the Company to create any other class of stock ranking equivalent or senior to the Series B. The Series B has a liquidation value of $21.48 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends. Each share of the Series B Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as determined by dividing the original purchase price by the conversion price applicable to such share determined on the date the certificate is surrendered for conversion. The conversion price shall initially be the original issuance price per share of Common Stock. The Series B is convertible at a rate of 75,000 shares per year for four years. The conversion price may be subject to change if the Company's average stock price falls below $12.00 for the thirty- day period preceding two business days prior to the conversion dates. The Company has the option to pay the Series B holders an amount of cash equal to the difference between $12.00 and the Average Price (as defined) multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Series B would be convertible. Two business days prior to the first anniversary date the Company's average stock price for the preceding thirty business days was $10.81. As such, the original conversion price was adjusted in accordance with the conversion terms of the Series B, the conversion price was reduced to $19.25 resulting in an additional 8,256 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion. The incremental shares issuable upon conversion were accounted for as a contingent beneficial conversion feature ("CBCF") in accordance with EITF No. 00-27. The CBCF was measured by multiplying the incremental shares by the fair value of the Company's Common Stock on the commitment date of September 29, 2000. The fair value of the Company's Common Stock on the commitment date was $22.06 per share. Accordingly, the Company recorded a CBCF in the amount of $182,127. The CBCF was treated as a deemed dividend to the Series B holder. All outstanding shares of Series B shall be converted automatically into shares of Common Stock after 4 years. The holders of Series B shares are entitled to that number of votes equal to the largest of whole shares of Common Stock into which the Series B could be converted on matters which shareholders are generally entitled to vote. The Series B holders are entitled to dividends that are declared or paid to the Common Stock holders. 10. RESTRICTED CASH, CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES, CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK AND WARRANTS TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK On August 22, 2001, the Company closed on a private placement financing transaction with two investors whereby the Company sold two Convertible Promissory Notes ("Notes"), Series C Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series C"), and warrants to purchase Common Stock for $20,000,000. The Company accounted for the financing transaction as a package sale and allocated the cash proceeds received to the Notes, Series C and warrants to acquire Common Stock based on the relative fair value of each instrument. Notes The Company issued two $7,500,000 Notes with a maturity date of August 22, 2004. Interest accrues daily on the outstanding principal amount of the Notes but compounds annually at a rate per year equal to the rate of interest paid from time to time on money market accounts held at First Union National Bank, and is payable quarterly in cash. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default under the Notes, the interest rate increases to 18% per year. As of December 31, 2001, the Company is not in default. The Notes are convertible into shares of the Company's Common Stock at a price per share equal to the conversion price then in effect. The initial conversion price of the Notes is $13.97, and may change in the future based on certain anti-dilution and other adjustments. The Notes automatically convert into Common Stock if certain conditions, which are outside the control of the holders and the Company, are met. The Notes are convertible at the election of the holders or the Company if certain conditions, which are outside the control of the holders and the Company, are met. F-16 A holder of a Note has the right to require the Company to prepay all or a portion of a Note, plus all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, at any time on or after: 1. March 28, 2002, if more than $3,750,000 of the principal amount of such Note is then outstanding; and 2. July 28, 2002, if more than $1,875,000 of the principal amount of such Note is then outstanding. The Company has the right to prepay each of the Notes in full at any time by paying the holder thereof all of the outstanding principal amount of such Notes and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon. As the payment on the Notes is outside the Company's control, the Notes have been classified as a current obligation on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2001. In the event that the Company sells shares of Common Stock or other securities convertible into, or exercisable for, shares of Common Stock at a price less than $13.97 per share, then the holders may elect to demand repayment of the principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, plus accrued but unpaid interest thereon. In addition, upon the occurrence of events of default under the Notes, the holders thereof may demand repayment of the principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, plus accrued but unpaid interest thereon, and may also be entitled to liquidated damages, as defined in the Notes. The Company's obligations under the Notes are secured by irrevocable letters of credit issued with a face amount equal to the outstanding principal of the related Notes. The $15,000,000 in proceeds from the sale of the Notes has been pledged as collateral to the bank issuing the letters of credit. Under the terms of the applicable agreements, the face amount of each letter of credit is reduced as the outstanding principal amount of the related Note is reduced. Thus, as each Note is converted, the face amount of the related letter of credit will be reduced and, likewise, the amount pledged to the bank as collateral relating to that letter of credit will be reduced. Accordingly, as the Notes are converted, the Company will be able to access the funds raised from the sale of the Notes in amounts corresponding to the portion of the Notes that are converted or repaid. The $15,000,000 in cash proceeds plus accrued but unpaid interest has been classified as restricted cash on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2001. In accordance with APB No. 14, "Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt Issued with Stock Purchase Warrants" ("APB No. 14"), the Company allocated the proceeds from the private placement financing transaction to the Series C, Notes and warrants based on the relative fair values as of the commitment date. The fair value of the Notes was determined based on a three-year discounted cash flow analysis using a risk-adjusted interest rate of 11%. The Company determined the relative fair value of the Notes to be $9,857,006. The resulting original issuance discount ("OID") of $5,142,994 is being amortized as interest expense, using the effective interest method, over the maturity period of three years. During the year ended December 31, 2001, the Company recognized a non-cash charge to interest expense of $1,015,418 for the amortization of the OID. In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") No. 00-27, "Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments" ("EITF No. 00-27") and EITF No. 98-5, "Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios" ("EITF No. 98-5") and after considering the allocation of the proceeds to the Notes, the Company determined that the Notes contained a beneficial conversion feature ("BCF"). The BCF existed at the commitment date due to the fact that the carrying value of the Notes, after the initial allocation of the proceeds, was less than the fair market value of the Common Stock that was issuable upon conversion. Accordingly, the Company recorded $3,258,468 of BCF as a debt discount on the commitment date. The BCF debt discount is being amortized as interest expense, using the effective interest method, over the maturity period of three years. During the year ended December 31, 2001, the Company recognized a non-cash charge to interest expense of $674,283 for the amortization of the BCF. F-17 A reconciliation of the face amount of the Notes and the carrying value at December 31, 2001 is as follows: Original value of Convertible Notes $15,000,000 Less: OID 5,142,994 BCF 3,258,468 ------------- Carrying value on date of issuance 6,598,538 Add: 2001 amortization of OID treated as interest expense 1,015,418 2001 amortization of BCF treated as interest expense 674,283 ------------- Notes carrying value at December 31, 2001 $8,288,239 ============= The OID and BCF will be fully amortized by 2004, at which time the carrying value of the Notes will equal their face value of $15,000,000. Series C The Company issued 5,000 shares of Series C Stock as of August 22, 2001 and received proceeds of $4,496,477, net of $503,523 in cash offering costs. Holders of Series C are not entitled to voting rights except as otherwise required by law. Each share of Series C has a stated value of $1,000, which increases by $4.16 for each month during which such share of Series C is outstanding. There are no dividends on the Series C. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of a share of Series C is obtained by dividing the stated value of one share of Series C by the conversion price then in effect. The initial conversion price of the Series C was $12.70, subject to certain anti-dilution and other adjustments. In accordance with APB No. 14, the Company allocated the proceeds from the Notes, Series C, and warrants based on the relative fair values. The fair value of the Series C was based on the fair value of the Common Stock that would be issuable on a converted basis. As a result, the Company allocated $4,146,678 to the Series C. In accordance with EITF No. 00-27 and EITF No. 98-5 and after considering the allocation of the proceeds to the Series C, the Company determined that a BCF existed on the Series C. The BCF existed at the commitment date due to the fact that the carrying value of the Series C, after the initial allocation of the proceeds, was less than the fair market value of the Common Stock that was issuable upon conversion. Accordingly, the Company recorded the BCF of $616,793 immediately as the Series C is convertible at the commitment date. The BCF was recorded in a manner similar to a dividend for the year ended December 31, 2001. In accordance with EITF No. 00-27 and EITF No. 98-5, as a result of the monthly increase in the stated price of the Series C, a CBCF existed on the commitment date of August 22, 2001. The monthly increase in stated price reduces the conversion price of the Series C so long as the Series C is outstanding. The CBCF was recorded based upon the increase in the stated price, which results in additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion, on December 31, 2001. The Company recorded a $163,749 CBCF treated as a deemed dividend to preferred shareholders in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2001. In November 2001, the Company reduced the conversion price of the Series C from $12.70 to $9.45. Under the terms of the original conversion privileges the holders were entitled to receive 393,701 shares of Common Stock upon conversion. As a result of the reduced conversion price, the Series C holders are entitled to an additional 135,400 shares of Common Stock upon conversion. The incremental shares issuable upon conversion were measured using the $8.30 fair value of the Common Stock on the date of the reduction in the conversion price. As a result of this, the Company recorded a deemed dividend in the amount of $1,123,808 for the reduced conversion price of December 5, 2001 (the conversion date). F-18 On December 5, 2001, the holders converted all 5,000 shares of the Series C into Common Stock. This was done at the new $9.45 conversion price per share. Upon conversion the Company issued 535,704 shares of Common Stock. Series D On December 3, 2001, the Company issued 5,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock ("Series D") with a conversion price of $9.45 and warrants to acquire common stock for an aggregate price of $5,000,000. The terms of the Series D, regarding voting rights, stated value, increase in stated vale and dividends, were the same as those of the Series C. In accordance with APB No. 14, the Company allocated the proceeds from the Series D and warrants based on their relative fair values. The fair value of the Series D was based on the fair value of the Common Stock that would be issuable on a converted basis. As a result, the Company allocated $3,874,931 to the Series D and $1,125,070 to the warrants. In accordance with EITF No. 00-27 and EITF No. 98-5 and after considering the allocation of the proceeds to the Series D, the Company determined that as a result of the monthly increase in the stated price, a CBCF existed on the Series D. The monthly increase in stated price reduces the conversion price of the Series D, so long as the Series D is outstanding. The Company recorded the CBCF of $98,614 immediately as the Series D is convertible at the commitment date, as a deemed dividend to preferred shareholders in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2001. On December 5, 2001, the holders converted all 5,000 shares of the Series D into Common Stock. This was done at the $9.45 conversion price per share. Upon conversion the Company issued 529,100 shares of Common Stock. Warrants In connection with the private placement financing transaction the Company issued the following warrants to purchase shares of the Company's Common Stock:
Original Original Original Series Number Exercise Price Expiration date Relative Fair Value -------- ---------- ----------------- ------------------ ------------------ I 157,480 $ 15.24 August 22, 2006 $1,186,012 II 157,480 15.24 August 22, 2006 1,125,070 III 429,492 15.24 August 22, 2006 3,234,590 IV 186,114 15.24 August 22, 2008 1,575,714
The Series I, III and IV warrants were exercisable immediately by the holders. The Series II warrants were exercisable at December 3, 2001. Series I, II and III warrants cannot be exercised to the extent a holder would then own, together with its affiliates more than 9.99% of the Company's Common Stock then outstanding. The warrants listed above have been recorded based on the relative fair values. Using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, the Company allocated $7,121,386 of the cash proceeds received in the private placement transaction to the warrants. The Company used the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the fair value of the warrants issued in connection with the financing transaction. The Company used the following assumptions: Series ------------------------------------------------- I II III IV ----------- ----------- --------- --------- Risk free interest rate 4.6% 5.1% 4.6% 4.9% Volatility 94% 94% 94% 94% Expected dividend yield 0% 0% 0% 0% Expected option life 5 Years 10 Years 5 Years 7 Years The warrants have been recorded as additional paid-in capital in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2001. The Series IV warrants were issued as a placement agent's fee. F-19 Effective November 5, 2001, the Company and the investors agreed to amend the terms of the private placement transaction and reduced the exercise prices on the Series I and II warrants to $9.93 per share and the expiration date on the Series I, II and III warrants were extended to August 22, 2011. This represented a new measurement date and the Company revalued the warrants on this date. The difference between the original fair value and the new fair value of the warrants was recorded as a one-time dividend of $332,245. The new fair value of the Series I warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: (1) risk free interest rate of 4.5%, (2) no expected dividend yield, (3) expected life of 10 years, and (4) expected volatility of 94%. In December 2001, the Company also established a new class of Convertible Preferred Stock, Series C-1 ("Series C-1"). All of the outstanding shares of Series C were exchanged for Series C-1 shares. As the term, rights and preferences of the Series C-1 were substantially similar to those of the Series C, the Company recorded the exchange based upon the carrying value of the Series C. A summary of the deemed dividends recorded as a result of this financing transaction are as follows: BCF recorded for Series C $ 616,793 Reduced conversion price of Series C 1,123,808 CBCF recorded for Series C 163,749 CBCF recorded for Series D 98,614 Change in the fair value of the Warrants due to the change in exercise price and extension of life 332,245 ---------- $2,335,209 ========== 11.

Because the SFAS 123 method of accounting has not been applied to options and warrants granted prior to January 1, 1995, the resulting pro forma compensation cost may not be representative of cost to be expected in future years. 12. RESEARCH CONTRACTS: Contract research revenue consists of the following:

The minimum royalty payments are as follows: September 29, 2000 - December 31, 2002 $ 150,000 January 1, 2003 - December 31, 2004 $ 500,000 January 1, 2005 - December 31, 2006 $1,000,000 14. INCOME TAXES: The components of income taxes are as follows:
December 31, --------------------------------------------------------- 2001 2000 1999 ---------------- --------------- ----------------- Current $ -- $ -- $ -- Deferred (6,354,493) (3,019,639) (2,063,624) --------------- -------------- ---------------- (6,354,493) (3,019,639) (2,063,624) Increase in valuation allowance 6,354,493 3,019,639 2,063,624 --------------- -------------- ---------------- $ -- $ -- $ -- =============== ============== ================
The difference between the Company's federal statutory income tax rate and its effective income tax rate is primarily due to non-deductible expenses and the valuation allowance. As of December 31, 2001, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $18,715,485, which will begin to expire in 2010. The net operating loss carryforwards differ from the accumulated deficit principally due to the timing of the recognition of certain expenses. In accordance with the Tax Reform Act of 1986, the net operating loss carryforwards could be subject to certain limitations. F-29 Significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:
December 31, ---------------------------------------- 2001 2000 ------------------ ------------------ Gross deferred tax assets: Net operating loss carryforwards $ 7,660,868 $ 5,738,172 Capitalized start-up costs 5,781,789 2,710,141 Capitalized technology license 170,000 170,000 Stock options and warrants 1,563,593 181,327 Accruals and reserves 225,945 102,738 Other 103,329 248,653 ------------ ----------- 15,505,524 9,151,031 Valuation allowance (15,505,524) (9,151,031) ------------ ----------- Net deferred tax assets $ -- $ -- ============ ===========
A valuation allowance was established for all of the net deferred tax asset since the Company has incurred substantial operating losses since inception and expects additional losses in 2002. The Company's management has concluded that the realizability of the deferred tax assets is uncertain. 15. DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN: During 2000, the Company adopted the Universal Display Corporation 401(k) Plan (the Plan) in accordance with the provisions of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code). The Plan covers substantially all full-time employees of the Company. Participants may contribute up to 15% of their total compensation to the Plan, not to exceed the limit as defined in the Code, with the Company matching 50% of the participant's contribution, limited to 6% of the participant's total compensation. For the years ending December 31, 2001 and 2000, the Company contributed $83,611 and $52,125 to the Plan, respectively. 16.
