LIGHTWAVE LOGIC, INC.

(A Development Stage Company)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2011 AND 2010

NOTE 1- FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying unaudited financials statements have been prepared by Lightwave Logic, Inc. (the Company).  These statements include all adjustments (consisting only of its normal recurring adjustments) which management believes necessary for a fair presentation of the statements and have been prepared on a consistent basis using the accounting polices described in the Summary of Accounting Policies included in the 2010 Annual Report.  Certain financial information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principals generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, although the Company firmly believes that the accompanying disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.  The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.   The interim operating results for the three and nine months ending September 30, 2011 may not be indicative of operating results expected for the full year.  

Loss per Share

The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) 260, “Earnings per Share”, resulting in the presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share.  Because the Company reported a net loss in 2011 and 2010, common stock equivalents, including stock options and warrants were anti-dilutive; therefore, the amounts reported for basic and dilutive loss per share were the same.

Comprehensive Income

The Company follows FASB ASC 220.10, “Reporting Comprehensive Income.”  Comprehensive income is a more inclusive financial reporting methodology that includes disclosure of certain financial information that historically has not been recognized in the calculation of net income.  Since the Company has no items of other comprehensive income, comprehensive income (loss) is equal to net income (loss).

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

As of September 30, 2011 and for the period then ended, there were no recently adopted accounting pronouncements that had a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

As of September 30, 2011, there are no recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted which would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.  The Company has incurred significant losses and experienced negative cash flow during the development stage.  These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The Company is in the development stage at September 30, 2011.  In May 2011, the Company has signed an agreement with an institutional investor to sell up to $20 million of common stock. Under the

-13-

LIGHTWAVE LOGIC, INC.

(A Development Stage Company)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2011 AND 2010

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN (Continued)

agreement subject to certain conditions and at the Company's sole discretion, the institutional investor has committed to invest up to $20 million in the Company's common stock over a 30-month period. The Company filed a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) covering the resale of the shares that may be issued to the institutional investor. The institutional investor is obligated to make purchases as the Company directs in accordance with the agreement, which may be terminated by the Company at any time, without cost or penalty.  However, there can be no assurances that the Company will meet all the conditions to obligate the institutional investor to make purchases. The Company also raises funds through private placement.  Although the Company currently has sufficient funds based on its adjusted budget to maintain its operations through January 2012, the Company expects to have sufficient funds to maintain its operations for an extended period of time. With the additional capital, the Company expects to achieve a level of revenues attractive enough to fulfill its development activities and achieve a level of revenue adequate to support the Company’s business model for the foreseeable future.  The Company continues to develop and test its next generation Non-linear Optical material platform to support and cultivate potential customers and strategic partners. Currently, the Company’s Electro-Optic materials are in evaluation with potential customers in their proprietary applications. The Company’s first revenue has been in engineering revenues.  Management believes the Company’s next revenue will be in Application and non-recurring engineering charges, prototype devices and material charges for specialty non-linear optical device applications.

NOTE 3 – EQUIPMENT

Equipment consists of the following:

	September 30, 2011	December 31, 2010
Office equipment	$ 12,816	$ 12,816
Lab equipment	162,155	151,134

	183,833	172,812
Less: Accumulated depreciation	95,514	75,244
	$ 88,319	$ 97,568

Depreciation expense for the nine months ending September 30, 2011 and 2010 was $20,270 and $22,607.  Depreciation expense for the three months ending September 30, 2011 and 2010 was $6,163 and $7,983.  

NOTE 4 – INTANGIBLE ASSETS

This represents legal fees and patent fees associated with the registration of patents.  The Company has recorded amortization expenses on the Spacer and Chromophore patent applications accepted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office in February 2011 and April 2011 which are amortized over its legal life of 20 years.  No amortization expense has been recorded on the remaining patents since the patents have yet to be declared effective.  Once issued, the cost of the patents will be amortized over their legal lives, which is generally 20 years.

NOTE 5 – INCOME TAXES

There is no income tax benefit for the losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 since management has determined that the realization of the net deferred tax asset is not assured and has created a valuation allowance for the entire amount of such benefits.

The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits as additional income taxes in the statement of operations.  As of January 1, 2011, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits, or any tax related interest of penalties.  There were no changes in the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits during the period ended September 30, 2011.  The Company did not recognize any interest or penalties during 2011 related to unrecognized tax benefits.  With few exceptions, the U.S. and state income tax returns filed for the tax years ending on December 31, 2007 and thereafter are subject to examination by the relevant taxing authorities.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of our operations together with our financial statements and the related notes to those statements included in this Form 10-Q. In addition to historical financial information, this discussion contains forward-looking statements reflecting our current plans, estimates, beliefs and expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. As a result of many important factors, particularly those set forth under “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors.”  Our actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

Overview

Lightwave Logic, Inc. (then known as Eastern Idaho Internet Service, Inc.) was organized under the laws of the State of Nevada in 1997, where we engaged in the business of marketing Internet services until June 30, 1998 when our operations were discontinued.  We were then inactive until we acquired PSI-TEC Corporation as our wholly-owned subsidiary on July 14, 2004, at which time our name was changed to PSI-TEC Holdings, Inc.  On October 20, 2006, we completed a parent-subsidiary merger with PSI-TEC Corporation whereby we were the surviving corporation of the merger, and our name was changed to Third-Order Nanotechnologies, Inc. On March 10, 2008, we changed our name to Lightwave Logic, Inc. to better suit our strategic business plan and to facilitate shareholder recognition of our Company and our business.

We are a development stage research and development company. We have developed and are continuing to develop Application Specific Electro-Optic Polymers (ASEOP) and Non-Linear All-Optical Polymers (NLAOP) which have high electro-optic and optical activity. Both types of materials are thermally and photo-chemically stable, which we believe could have utility across a broad range of applications in devices. We engineer our proprietary electro-optic polymers at the molecular level for superior performance, stability, cost-efficiency and ease of processability. We expect our NLAOP polymers to broadly replace more expensive, lower-performance materials that are currently used in, telecommunication, data communications, computing, photovoltaic cells, wireless and satellite communication networks.

In order to transmit digital information at extremely high-speeds (wide bandwidth) over the Internet, it is necessary to convert the electrical signals produced by a computer into optical signals for transmission over long-distance fiber-optic cable.  The actual conversion of electricity to an optical signal may be performed by a molecularly-engineered material known as an electro-optic polymer.

We are currently developing electro-optic polymers that promise performance many times faster than any technology currently available and that have unprecedented thermal stability. High-performance electro-optic materials produced by our Company have demonstrated stability as high as 350 degrees Celsius.  Stability above 250 degrees Celsius is necessary for vertical integration into many semi-conductor production lines. Test results,

-30-

independently confirmed by the University of Arizona, have demonstrated that the molecular performance of some of our Company's molecular designs perform 650% better than competitive electro-optic compounds.

Our non-linear all optical polymers have demonstrated resonantly enhanced Third-order properties about 2,630 times larger than fused silica which means that they are very photo-optically active in the absence of an RF layer.  In this way they differ from our electro-optical polymers and are considered more advanced next-generation materials.

Our revenue model relies substantially on the assumption that we will be able to successfully develop electro-optic products for applications within the industries described below. When appropriate, we intend to create specific materials for each of these applications and use our proprietary knowledge base to continue to enhance its discoveries.

To be successful, we must, among other things:

·

Develop and maintain collaborative relationships with strategic partners;

·

Continue to expand our research and development efforts for our products;

·

Develop and continue to improve on our manufacturing processes and maintain stringent quality controls;

·

Produce commercial quantities of our products at commercially acceptable prices;

·

Rapidly respond to technological advancements;

·

Attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel; and

·

Obtain and retain effective intellectual property protection for our products and technology.

We believe that Moore's Law (a principle which states the number of transistors on a silicon chip doubles approximately every eighteen months) will create markets for our high-performance electro-optic material products.

Plan of Operation

Since our inception, we have been engaged primarily in the research and development of our polymer materials technologies and potential products. We are devoting significant resources to engineer next-generation electro-optic polymers for future applications to be utilized by

-31-

electro-optic device manufacturers, such as telecommunications component and systems manufacturers, networking and switching suppliers, semiconductor companies, aerospace companies and government agencies. We expect to continue to develop products that we intend to introduce to these rapidly changing markets and to seek to identify new markets. We expect to continue to make significant operating and capital expenditures for research and development activities.

As we move from a development stage company to a product vendor, we expect that our financial condition and results of operations will undergo substantial change. In particular, we expect to record both revenue and expense from product sales, to incur increased costs for sales and marketing and to increase general and administrative expense. Accordingly, the financial condition and results of operations reflected in our historical financial statements are not expected to be indicative of our future financial condition and results of operations.

On August 8, 2006, we contracted with Triple Play Communications Corporation, a design and market consulting company, to deliver a comprehensive market opportunity assessment report for high speed 40G (commercial) & 100G+ (military/aerospace) modulators and system applications.

In August, 2006, we entered into a co-location agreement with InPlane Photonics, a New Jersey-based micro-optics company that allowed our scientists to establish a pre-production line in order to test and integrate our organic materials into waveguide devices and system prototypes as a first step toward product commercialization. This agreement was terminated at the end of January 2007 so that we could focus on pursuing a strategic relationship with Photon-X LLC, a Pennsylvania-based firm with extensive experience in polymer waveguide processing. We entered into a non-binding memorandum of understanding with Photon-X, LLC in December 2006 to work towards creating a “fee for services” agreement with Photon-X, LLC to design, develop, produce and market electro-optic components based upon our polymer technology, which we ultimately finalized in March 2007. This agreement with Photon-X, LLC enables our Company access to a full suite of fabrication facilities capable of producing commercial quantities of precision micro-optic devices such as high-speed (40GHz) telecom modulators, optical filters, and optical interconnects important to military and civilian global information movement and management markets.

On September 25, 2006, we obtained independent laboratory results that confirmed the thermal stability of our Perkinamine ^TM electro-optic materials. Thermal stability as high as 350 degrees Celsius was confirmed, significantly exceeding many other commercially available high performance electro-optic materials, such as CLD-1 which exhibits thermal degradation in the range of 250 degrees Celsius to 275 degrees Celsius. This high temperature stability of our materials eliminates a major obstacle to vertical integration of electro-optic polymers into standard microelectronic manufacturing processes (e.g. wave/vapor-phase soldering) where thermal stability of at least 300 degrees Celsius is required. In independent laboratory tests, ten-percent material degradation, a common evaluation of overall thermal stability, did not occur until our  ^TM  materials base was exposed to temperatures as high as 350 degrees Celsius, as determined by Thermo-Gravimetric Analysis (TGA). The test results supported our Company's progress to introduce our materials into commercial applications such as optical

-32-

interconnections, high-speed telecom and datacom modulators, and military/aerospace components.

In July 2007, our Company developed an innovative process to integrate our unique architecture into our anticipated commercial devices, whereby dendritic spacer systems are attached to its core chromophore. In the event we are successful in developing a commercially viable product, we believe these dendrimers will reduce the cost of manufacturing materials and reduce the cost and complexity of tailoring the material to specific customer requirements.

In January 2008, we retained TangibleFuture, Inc., a San Francisco based technology analysis and business development consulting company, to generate an independent assessment of our business opportunities in the fiber-optic telecommunications and optical computing sectors and develop strategies to penetrate those potential markets.

In March 2008, we commenced production of our first prototype photonic chip, which we delivered to Photon-X, LLC to fabricate a prototype polymer optical modulator and measure its technical properties. As a result of delays caused by engineering setbacks related to our material production, the production of our first prototype photonic chip was temporarily halted, along with the completion of our proof of concept tests that were being administered by Dr. Robert Norwood at the University of Arizona Photonics Department. In order to address this issue, our Chief Technology Officer Dr. David F. Eaton’s role and responsibilities with the Company were significantly expanded, and we added two veteran synthetic chemists to our science and technology team. We have since overcome a majority of these engineering setbacks and we are currently in the continual process of extensive testing for material performance, including, among other tests, the (r33) Teng-Man testing protocol.

In June 2009, we released test results conducted by Dr. C.C. Teng that re-confirmed our previous test results, and we intend to deliver completed independent validated material performance test results, including the (r33) Teng-Man testing protocol, as they become ripe for release.

In August 2009, Photon-X, LLC commenced a compatible study, process sequences and fabricated wafers/chips containing arrays of phase modulators. The first one hundred plus modulators were completed at the end of October 2009, and were successfully characterized for insertion loss, Vpi, modulation dynamic range and initial frequency response in March 2010. The multi-step manufacturing process we utilized to fabricate our modulators involved exposing our proprietary Perkinamine^TM materials to extreme conditions that are typically found in standard commercial manufacturing settings. Our step-by-step analysis throughout the fabrication process demonstrated to us that our Perkinamine^TM materials can successfully withstand each step of the fabrication process without damage. We anticipated completing the development and building of functional prototype 40 Gb/s and 100 Gb/s modulators during the second quarter of 2010. However, we have incurred delays with our modulator project due to our focus on current application driven projects and evaluations that we believe will more quickly generate revenue for our Company. The completion of these two modulator designs will most likely occur during the second half of 2011 upon completion of an anticipated updated optical device design. However, we may incur delays in this process due to slower than expected material production

-33-

within our laboratories and/or delays caused by the production of the modulator and testing protocols.

In August 2009, we retained Perdix, Inc. to help us identify and build prototype products for high growth potential target markets in fiber optic telecommunications systems. During October 2009, we initiated the development and production of our prototype amplitude modulator, which can ultimately be assembled into 1- and 2- dimensional arrays that are useful for optical computing applications, such as encryption and pattern recognition. We expected our initial prototype amplitude modulator to be completed by the end of the second quarter 2010. Our Company continues to work with strategic partners in this development effort and we anticipate prototypes in second half of 2011. However, we may incur delays in this process due to slower than expected material production within our laboratories and/or delays caused by the production of the modulator and testing procedures.  

In November 2009, we introduced our new prototype phase modulator to the Gilder/Forbes Telecosm Conference in Tarrytown, New York and discussed how Lightwave’s material could be spun onto silicon chips prior to stacking and used for input, output, and interconnect due to the stability of Lightwave’s electro-optic polymer and Lightwave’s recent demonstration that its proprietary Perkinamine ^TM materials can survive all of the rigors of standard commercial manufacturing processes. Other applications discussed with the conference attendees included low cost modulators for fiber optic communications, multi-channel modulators for ultra dense wavelength division multiplex systems, and optical computing.

In December 2009, we filed our sixth patent application. The provisional application covers stable free radical chromophores for use in Non-Linear optical applications. The new polymeric electro-optic material has enormous potential in spatial light modulation and all optical signal processing (light switching light).

In January 2010, we entered into an agreement with the University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa to conduct cooperative development, analytical testing, optimization, and scale-up of our proprietary materials platform, which should help shorten the time to market for our new Polymeric Electro-Optic materials.

In March 2010, we successfully concluded the electrical and optical performance testing stage of our proof of principle prototype phase modulator and began Application Engineering of our technology in customer design environments and working directly with interested large system suppliers to attempt to engineer specific individual product materials and device designs for sale to or by these suppliers.

In October of 2010, we completed the concept stage of a novel design for an advanced optical computing application and moved forward into the design stage with Celestech, Inc. of Chantilley, Virginia.  This project will incorporate one of our Company’s advanced electro-optical polymer materials.

In October of 2010, we announced the results of testing performed by Lehigh University which demonstrated the Third-order non-linear properties of our proprietary molecules in the

-34-

Perkinamine NR ^TM chromophore class.  Lehigh University determined that the material was 100 times stronger than the highest off-resonance small molecule currently known.  They also determined that it was 2,630 times more powerful than fused silica and demonstrated extremely fast (less than 1 picosecond) photo-induced non-linear response that would be capable of modulation at raters of 1 THz (terahertz).

In February and April 2011, respectively, the United States Patent Office granted our Company two patents:  US Patent No. 7,894,695 covering our Tricyclic Spacer System for Non-Linear Optical Devices and US Patent No. 7,919,619 for Heterocyclical Chromophore Architectures directed to our Perkinamine ^TM chromophores.  These composition of matter patents taken together protect the core of our electro-optical materials portfolio.

In March 2011, we entered into a research and development agreement with the City University of New York’s Laboratory for Nano Micro Photonics (LaNMP) to develop Third-order non-linear devices. We believe that the combination of LaNMP’s device capabilities together with our materials expertise should accelerate the development of all-optical devices.

In March 2011, the City University of New York’s Laboratory for Nano Micro Photonics (LaNMP) fabricated our first-ever all optical waveguide using one of our Perkinamine NR ^TM chromophores. It is anticipated that LaNMP will use this device architecture to develop various all-optical devices including an all-optical transistor.

In March 2011, we announced a two-year research and development collaboration with the University of Alabama to explore the advanced energy capture properties of our Perkinamine ^TM class of chromophores.  Our material absorbs light across a wide range of wavelengths from near infra-red into the near ultraviolet.  The University intends to explore how to efficiently capture a wide range of solar radiation with our material.

In June 2011 the testing and fabrication conducted by the City University of New York’s Laboratory for Nano Micro Photonics (LaNMP) using our Third-order chromophore material Perkinamine™ NR confirmed that the material's non-linear optical coefficient compares favorably to best known materials but with unprecedented thermal stability for an organic material. The Perkinamine™ NR was approximately 10 times more responsive than gallium arsenide and about 4 times better than known organic non-linear materials previously seen while successfully withstanding semiconductor process temperatures of 170C.

In August 2011 entered into an agreement with FiberLogix International Ltd. of Watford, UK to begin the development and testing of proprietary fiber optic medical diagnostic devices incorporating Lightwave Logic's advanced non-linear optical polymers.

In August 2011, the City University of New York’s Laboratory for Nano Micro Photonics (LaNMP) manufactured for our Company the first commercial grade non-linear waveguide prototype.

We ultimately intend to use our next-generation electro-optic polymers for future applications vital to the following industries. We expect to create specific materials for each of these applications as appropriate:

·

Satellite Reconnaissance

·

Navigational Systems

·

Radar Applications

·

Telecommunications

·

Optical Interconnects

·

Optical Computing

·

Entertainment

·

Medical Applications

·

Solar Panels (Photovoltaic cells)

In an effort to maximize our future revenue stream from our electro-optic polymer products, we are currently evaluating each of or some combination of the following approaches:

·

Licensing our technology for individual specific applications;

·

Entering into collaborative or joint venture agreements with one or a number of partners; or

·

Selling our products directly to commercial customers.

Additionally, we must create an infrastructure, including operational and financial systems, and related internal controls, and recruit qualified personnel. Failure to do so could adversely affect our ability to support our operations.

We have incurred substantial net losses since inception. We have satisfied our capital requirements since inception primarily through the issuance and sale of our common stock. During 2004 we raised approximately $529,000 from the issuance of convertible promissory notes, of which $30,000 was converted into common stock of the company during 2004 and the remaining $499,000 converted in 2005. Also, during 2005, we raised an aggregate of $1,000,000 from the private sale of our common stock. During 2006, we raised approximately $425,000 from the private sale of our common stock, of which $200,000 was rescinded during 2007. During 2007, we raised approximately $2,301,524 from the private sale of our common stock. During 2008, we raised approximately $414,000 from the private sale of our common stock and $375,270 from the exercise of outstanding warrants. Through June 30, 2009, we raised approximately $855,000 from the sale of our private stock. We have also issued shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase shares of our common stock in exchange for services rendered to our company, including professional services.  During October 2009 we obtained proceeds of $455,000 from the exercise of outstanding warrants.  During 2010, we raised $1,500,000 from the private sale of our common stock and $539,000 from the exercise of outstanding options and warrants. We also issued shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase shares of our common stock in exchange for services rendered to our company. During the first six months of 2011, we issued shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase shares of our common stock in exchange for services rendered to our company. During the second quarter of 2011 we obtained $200,000 from the sale of shares of our common stock

-36-

pursuant to our stock purchase agreement with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC. In August 2011 we commenced a $1,000,000 private offering of our common stock and warrants, and to date we have received $675,000 in proceeds from that offering.

Award

On September 26, 2006, we were awarded the 2006 Electro-Optic Materials Technology Innovation of the Year Award by Frost & Sullivan.  Frost & Sullivan's Technology Innovation of the Year Award is bestowed upon candidates whose original research has resulted in innovations that have, or are expected to bring, significant contributions to multiple industries in terms of adoption, change, and competitive posture.

Results of Operations

Comparison of three months ended September 30, 2011 to three months ended September 30, 2010

Revenues

We had no revenues during the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. The Company is at various stages with potential customers and expects additional revenues once customers release purchase orders against current outstanding proposals or once product evaluations are completed by customers.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses were $726,119 and $797,983 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, for a decrease of $71,864. This is primarily due to a decrease in non cash stock compensation and stock option amortization offset by increases in fees for the registration of common stock for resale to an institutional investor, expenses for the 2011 submission of the Company’s 10-Q in eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL), expenditures for the removal of material past its useful life, laboratory electro-optic device prototype, development and testing expense, salaries and wages and insurance. Included in our operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $322,402 for research and development expenses compared to $369,227 for the three months ended September 30, 2010, for a decrease of $46,825. This is primarily due to a decrease in non cash stock compensation and stock option amortization offset by increases in expenditures for the removal of material past its useful life and laboratory electro-optic device prototype design, development and testing expense.

Research and development expenses currently consist primarily of compensation for employees engaged in internal research, product and application development activities; laboratory operations, outsourced prototype electro-optic device design, development and processing work; customer testing; material testing; fees; costs; and related operating expenses.

-37-

We expect to continue to incur substantial research and development expense to develop and commercialize our electro-optic material platform. These expenses will increase as a result of accelerated development effort to support commercialization of our electro-optic materials technology; subcontracting work to build prototypes; expanding and equipping in-house laboratories; hiring additional technical and support personnel; pursuing other potential business opportunities; customer testing and evaluation; and incurring related operating expenses.

Non cash stock compensation and stock option amortization decreased $98,524 from $183,506 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 to $84,982 for the three months ended September 30, 2011.

Expenses for the disposal of materials past its useful life in research and development operations increased $16,286 from $682 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 to $16,968 for the three months ended September 30, 2011.

General and administrative expenses decreased $25,039 to $403,717 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $428,756 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The decrease is due primarily to amortization of warrants during the three month period ending September 30, 2010 for a financial investor advisory board member, offset by increases in fees for the registration of common stock for resale to an institutional investor, expenses for the 2011 submission of the Company’s 10-Q in eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL), salaries and wages and insurance.

Total expenses for accounting and administrative services decreased by $3,910 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2010. Non cash amortization of warrants for accounting and administrative services decreased $25,910 from $53,365 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 to $27,455 for the three months ended September 30, 2011. Accounting fees increased $22,000 from $10,500 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $32,500 for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The additional accounting fees incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2011 included fees of $13,000 for services relating to the registration statement for the resale of common stock to an institutional investor and the 2011 submission of the Company’s 10-Q in eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL).

Stock compensation decreased by $118,094 to $149,977 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $268,071 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The stock compensation for the three month period ended September 30, 2011 and September 30,

-38-

2010 included the aforementioned amortization of warrants for accounting and administrative expenses. The stock compensation for the three month period ended September 30, 2010 included $69,570 in amortization of warrants for a financial investor advisory board member.

Investor relations expenses were $25,740 and $18,343 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 for an increase of $7,397. During 2011, the Company employed an investor relations specialist.

Remaining general and administrative wages and salaries increased $21,310 from $25,746 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 to $47,056 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 primarily due to the employment of a Vice President of Sales and Marketing during 2011.

SEC filing fees increased by $5,939 from $915 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 to $6,854 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 for services relating to the 2011 submission of the Company’s 10-Q in eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) as required by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Directors’ and officers’ insurance increased $16,362 from $5,588 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 to $21,950 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 primarily due to an increase in directors’ and officers’ insurance coverage during 2011 in conjunction with previous period correction of the insurance allocation between general and administrative and research and development expenses recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2011.

Auditing and tax preparation fees increased $7,750 from $7,550 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $15,300 for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The additional auditing and tax preparation fees incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2011 were due to the timing of the recognition of fees relating to the filing of 2010's corporate tax returns.

We expect general and administrative expense to increase in future periods as we increase the level of corporate and administrative activity, including increases associated with our operation as a public company; and increase expenditures related to the future production and sales of our products.

Net Loss

Net loss was $726,187 and $798,120 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, for a decrease of $71,933, primarily due to a decrease in non cash stock compensation and stock option amortization offset by increases in fees for the registration of common stock for resale to an institutional investor, expenses for the 2011 submission of the Company’s 10-Q in eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL), expenditures for the removal of material past its useful life, laboratory electro-optic device prototype design, development and testing expense, salaries and wages and insurance.

Non cash amortization of warrants for accounting and administrative services decreased $77,730 from $160,095 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to $82,365 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Accounting fees increased $40,000 from $31,500 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $71,500 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The additional accounting fees incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 included fees of $13,000 for services relating to the registration statement for the resale of common stock to an institutional investor and the 2011 submission of the Company’s 10-Q in eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) as required by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

SEC filing fees increased by $7,102 from $4,200 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to $11,302 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 for services relating to the 2011 submission of the Company’s 10-Q in eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL).

Health insurance premiums and directors’ and officers’ insurance increased $30,412 from $52,965 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to $83,377 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 primarily due to health insurance coverage for additional employees hired and an increase in directors’ and officers’ insurance coverage during 2011 offset by a change in the allocation between general and administrative and research and development expenses.

Non cash stock compensation decreased by $424,936 to $581,971 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $1,006,907 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The stock compensation for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 included the aforementioned non cash amortization of warrants for accounting and administrative expenses. This total decrease in stock compensation is primarily due to the non cash amortization of warrants as part of the employment agreement entered into with the Company’s new Chair during 2010.

Annual Shareholder meeting expenses decreased by $16,049 to $23,809 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $39,858 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

We expect general and administrative expense to increase in future periods as we increase the level of corporate and administrative activity, including increases associated with our operation as a public company; and increase expenditures related to the future production and sales of our products.

Other Income (Expense)

Other income (expense) was ($166,280) for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, relating primarily to the commitment fee associated with the resale of shares to an institutional investor during the nine month period ending September 30, 2011. Other income (expense) was ($240) for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

-42-

Net Loss

Net loss was $2,706,085 and $2,689,197 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, for an increase of $16,888, primarily resulting from the increase in fees for the registration of common stock for resale to an institutional investor and commitment fees for the resale of common stock, expenses for the 2011 submission of the Company’s 10-Q in eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL), wages and salaries and non cash research and development amortization of options offset by decreases in non cash general and administrative amortization of warrants based on vesting terms as part of the employment agreement entered into in January 2010 with the Company’s new Chair and investor relations expenses.

Significant Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates based upon historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Our actual results may differ materially from these estimates.

We believe our significant accounting policies affect our more significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our financial statements.  Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 contains a discussion of these significant accounting policies. There have been no significant changes in our significant accounting policies since December 31, 2010.  See our Note 1 in our unaudited financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as set forth herein.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, net cash used in operating activities was $1,174,410 and net cash used in investing activities was $92,528, which was due primarily to the Company’s research and development activities and general and administrative expenditures. Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $875,000. At September 30, 2011, our cash and cash equivalents totaled $561,929, our assets totaled $1,140,110, our liabilities totaled $240,017, and we had stockholders’ equity of $900,093.

Sources and Uses of Cash

Our future expenditures and capital requirements will depend on numerous factors, including: the progress of our research and development efforts; the rate at which we can, directly or through arrangements with original equipment manufacturers, introduce and sell products incorporating our polymer materials technology; the costs of filing, prosecuting,

-43-

defending and enforcing any patent claims and other intellectual property rights; market acceptance of our products and competing technological developments; and our ability to establish cooperative development, joint venture and licensing arrangements.  We expect that we will incur in excess of $1,500,000 of expenditures over the next 12 months. Our cash requirements are expected to increase at a rate consistent with the Company’s path to revenue growth as we expand our activities and operations with the objective of commercializing our non-linear optical polymer technology during the latter portion of 2011.

Our business does not presently generate the cash needed to finance our current and anticipated operations. We believe we have raised sufficient capital to finance our operations through January 2012; however, we will need to trigger our LPC equity commitment (see below) or obtain additional future financing to finance our operations until such time that we can conduct profitable revenue-generating activities. Such future sources of financing may include cash from our LPC equity commitment,  equity offerings, exercise of stock options, warrants and proceeds from debt instruments; but we cannot assure you that such equity or borrowings will be available or, if available, will be at rates or prices acceptable to us.

In May 2011 we signed a stock purchase agreement with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC ("LPC") whereby subject to certain conditions and at our sole discretion, LPC has committed to purchase up to $20 million of our common stock over a 30-month period. We filed a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission covering the re-sale of the shares that may be issued to LPC and it was declared effective in June 2011.  LPC is obligated to make purchases as the Company directs in accordance with the purchase agreement, which may be terminated by the Company at any time, without cost or penalty. Sales of shares will be made in specified amounts and at prices that are based upon the market prices of our Company's common stock immediately preceding the sales to LPC. We expect this financing to provide our Company with sufficient funds to maintain its operations for an extended period of time. With the additional capital, we expect to achieve a level of revenues attractive enough to fulfill our development activities and adequate enough to support our business model for the foreseeable future. 

We cannot assure you that we will meet the conditions of the stock purchase agreement with LPC in order to obligate LPC to purchase our shares of common stock. Since August, we have been unable to meet the requisite conditions to obligate LPC to purchase our shares of common stock, and in the event we continue to fail to do so, and other adequate funds are not available to satisfy either short-term or long-term capital requirements, or if planned revenues are not generated, we may be required to substantially limit our operations. This limitation of operations may include reductions in capital expenditures and reductions in staff and discretionary costs. In late August 2011, we commenced a $1,000,000 private offering of our common stock and warrants, and to date we have received $675,000 in proceeds from that offering.

We expect that our cash used in operations will increase during 2011 and beyond as a result of the following planned activities:

-44-

·

The addition of management, sales, marketing, technical and other staff to our workforce;

·

Increased spending for the expansion of our research and development facilities and efforts, including purchases of additional laboratory and production equipment;

·

Increased spending in marketing as our products are introduced into the marketplace;

·

Developing and maintaining collaborative relationships with strategic partners;

·

Developing and improving our manufacturing processes and quality controls; and

·

Increases in our general and administrative activities related to our operations as a reporting public company and related corporate compliance requirements.

Inflation and Seasonality

We do not believe that our operations are significantly impacted by inflation. Our business is not seasonal in nature.
