Universal Display Corporation had a net loss of $4,092,994 (or $0.19 per share) for the quarter ended June 30, 2003, compared to a net loss of $5,577,787 (or $0.31 per share) for the same quarter in 2002. The Company had a net loss of $7,961,740 (or $0.37 per share) for the six months ended June 30, 2003, compared to a net loss of $10,876,596 (or $0.60 per share) for the same six months in 2002. The decrease in the net loss is primarily attributable to an increase in revenues and a decrease in interest expense as a result of the conversion and repayment of convertible promissory notes in September 2002. Revenues for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2003 were $1,349,956 and $2,530,903 respectively, compared to $455,026 and $989,952 for the same periods in 2002. The Company earned $1,193,550 from its sales of OLED materials for evaluation purposes during the six months ended June 30, 2003, compared to $177,893 for the same period in 2002. The increase in this amount is due to the increased volume of OLED materials purchased for evaluation by potential OLED manufacturers, including the Company's current joint development partners. The Company earned $837,353 in contract research revenue from the U.S. Government during the six months ended June 30, 2003, compared to $812,059 for the same period in 2002. The Company also recognized $500,000 in technology development revenue for the six-month period in 2003 in connection with a technology and development evaluation agreement. There were no similar revenues for the same period in 2002. Net cash used in operating activities was $3,312,481 for the six months ended June 30, 2003, compared to $4,103,394 for the same period in 2002. The decreased use of cash in operating activities is partly due to a decrease in the net loss and an increase in accounts payable.
