SPATIALIGHT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(1) Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-QSB but do not
include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of
management of Spatialight, Inc. ("Spatialight" or "the Company"), the
interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herewith
contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and
adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial
condition as of March 31, 1997 and the results of its operations for the
three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 respectively. The unaudited
interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Company's 1996 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB/A, which
contains the audited financial statements and notes thereto, together with
Management's Discussion and Analysis as of and for the years ended December
31, 1996 and 1995.
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform
to the current period presentation.
(2) Going Concern Uncertainty
The Company incurred significant operating losses in each of the last five
fiscal years, incurred a net loss in fiscal 1996 of $1,178,738 and incurred
a net loss of $485,065 in the first three months of 1997. At March 31,
1997, the Company's accumulated deficit totaled $7,949,146.
In an effort to improve operating performance, the Company has been and
will be implementing certain programs and strategies in 1997. These
strategies include:
- Raising of additional capital
- Construction of engineering models to demonstrate proof of technology
for OEM's
- Outsourcing of all manufacturing activities, which will be monitored
by Company's manufacturing/quality control engineering staff
- Developing strategic arrangements with potential customers to share
development costs and/or licensing of the Company's technology
The successful completion of the Company's development program and,
ultimately, the attainment of profitable operations is dependant on future
events, including obtaining adequate financing to fulfill its development
activities, successful launching of the commercial production and
distribution of its products and achieving a level of sales adequate to
support the Company's cost structure. There can be no assurance that the
Company will ever be able to achieve revenues in
6
<PAGE>
excess of expenses. The Company expects to incur substantial losses and
substantial negative cash flows from operating activities in the
foreseeable future.
The Company believes that its existing cash and cash equivalents will be
insufficient to sustain the Company's current level of operations and meet
its financial obligations through the end of 1997. The Company has engaged
the services of an investment banking firm to raise additional capital.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of
assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of
business.
The matters discussed above, among others, indicate that the Company may be
unable to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. The
condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments
relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts
or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary
should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern for a
reasonable period of time.
See also Part II, Item 1. Legal Proceedings
(3) Earnings per share
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share" (SFAS 128).
The Company is required to adopt SFAS 128 in the fourth quarter of fiscal
1997 and will restate at that time earnings per share (EPS) data for prior
periods to conform with SFAS 128. Earlier adoption is not permitted.
SFAS 128 replaces current EPS reporting requirements and requires a dual
presentation of basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS excludes dilution and is
computed by dividing net income by the weighted average of common shares
outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution
that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock
were exercised or converted into common stock.
If SFAS 128 had been in effect during the current and prior year, basic EPS
and Diluted EPS would not have been significantly different than primary
and fully diluted EPS currently reported for the periods.
(4) Short term note payable
As of March 31, 1997, the Company had a credit agreement with a bank
under which it can borrow up to $750,000. The line is secured by a
certificate of deposit. The purpose of the line of credit is to
facilitate working capital. Under the terms of the credit agreement,
interest is accrued at the greater of Prime or the certificate of
deposit interest rate plus 2 percent. The line of credit expires on
March 8, 1998. As of March 31, 1997, the Company had $750,000 outstanding
under this line of credit. This amount was subsequently reduced to $0 in
April 1997.
7
<PAGE>
(5) Repriced Stock Options
On February 25, 1997, The Company repriced the exercise price and extended
the vesting period of all outstanding employee stock options (originally from
$0.875 to $3.13) to $0.625.
Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The statements in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations" that relate to future plans, events
or performance are forward-looking statements which involve risks and
uncertainties. Actual results, events or performance may differ
materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as
a result of a variety of factors. Readers are cautioned not to place
undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as
of the date hereof. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly
release the result of any revisions to these forward-looking statements
that may be needed to reflect events or circumstances after the date
hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
OVERVIEW
Spatialight is involved in an effort to commercialize a small, high
resolution active matrix liquid crystal display (LCD) which would be
manufactured domestically and provide high quality images at a
significant reduction in cost. The Company has been producing a limited
number of prototype display systems. These displays have been made
available to potential customers who are involved in the development of
applications of this technology including head-mount displays, optical
computing, computer monitors and other projection applications. The
Company has made only limited sales of prototype units to date, and
there can be no assurance that the Company will ever be able to
commercialize its technology.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Spatialight reported no revenue for the three months ended March
31,1997, and 1996 respectively. The Company is continuing to develop
its technological capabilities and its production capacity and believes
that significant sales of its Spatial Light Modulator product will be
required in order for the Company to continue to meet its financial
obligations and operating plans. The lack of significant sales would
have a material adverse affect upon the financial condition of the
Company, and could cause the Company to cease operations.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $167,379 or
122% for the three months ended March 31, 1997 as compared to the three
months ended March 31, 1996. The increase was due primarily to an
increase in staffing and infrastructure support costs.
Research and development expenses increased by $144,895 or 276% for
the three months ended March 31, 1997 as compared to the three months
ended March 31, 1996. Research and development expenses represent costs
incurred, primarily personnel related, for the design and development of
new products and the redesign of existing prototype products. The
Company believes that the development of new products will be required
to allow it to compete effectively and to achieve future revenues. The
Company currently has 11 full time employees whose duties include
research and development. The Company intends to continue its product
enhancement and development programs, focusing on increasing
8
<PAGE>
the display size and finalizing field sequential color capabilities and
liquid crystal filling manufacturing processes. The Company believes
that such enhancements and new products will be required to exploit
future markets for large screen monitors, high definition television and
head mount displays.
OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE), NET
Other income, net totaled $8,842 for the three months ended March
31, 1997 as compared with other income, net of $1,269 for the same
period in the prior year.
Interest income for the three months ended March 31, 1997 was
$10,546 as compared to $15,109 for the three months ended March 31,
1996. In the first quarter of 1996, interest of $6,000 was received on
a note receivable. The note was written off in the third and fourth
quarters of 1996, and therefore no interest was received in 1997.
INCOME TAXES
Income tax expense represents minimum tax liabilities resulting from
the Company's operations in California and New York. No federal income
tax benefit has been recorded because of the uncertainty of realizing
the net operating loss carryforwards.
NET LOSS
As a result of the above factors the Company recorded a net loss of
$485,065 or $.06 per share for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and
a net loss of $176,376 representing $.03 per share for the three months
ended March 31, 1996. While the Company is taking steps to improve its
performance, there can be no assurance that the attempts by management
at product development will be successful. Any delay in effecting
operational performance improvement by the Company or in the further
development of the SLM by the Company may have a material adverse impact
on the financial condition of the Company.
FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Net cash used by operating activities totaled $371,569 for the three
months ended March 31, 1997 as a result of selling, general, and
administrative expenses, and research and development expenses incurred
during the period.
As of March 31, 1997 the Company had $1,646,087 in cash and cash
equivalents. Net working capital was $668,336.
As of March 31, 1997, the Company had a credit agreement with a bank
under which it can borrow up to $750,000. The line is secured by a
certificate of deposit. The purpose of the line of credit is to
facilitate working capital. Under the terms of the credit agreement,
interest is accrued at the greater of Prime or the certificate of
deposit interest rate plus 2 percent. The line of credit expires on
March 8, 1998. As of March 31, 1997, the Company had $750,000 outstanding
under this line of credit. This amount was subsequently reduced to $0 in
April 1997.
The Company is experiencing negative cash flow from operations resulting in
the need to fund ongoing operations from financing activities. The future
existence and profitability of the Company is dependent upon its ability to
obtain additional funds to finance operations and expand operations in an effort
9
<PAGE>
to achieve profitability from operations. No assurance can be given that the
Company's business will ultimately generate sufficient revenue to fund the
Company's operations on a continuing basis. The matters discussed above, among
others, indicate that the Company may be unable to continue as a going
concern for a reasonable period of time.
10
<PAGE>
BUSINESS RISKS
Most of the Company's revenue to date has been derived from research and
development contracts and limited sales of its SLM devices. Although the
Company has demonstrated SLM devices based on its core technology, the
Company has not yet produced any prototype SLM products with quality and
resolution sufficient to satisfy commercial end-use applications. The
Company recently entered into a contract to produce an engineering prototype
of a consumer product for mass production. However, further development and
testing will be necessary before this product or the Company's other proposed
products will be available for commercial end-use applications. Delays in
development may result in the Company's introduction of its products later
than anticipated, which may have an adverse effect on both the Company's
financial and competitive position. Moreover, there can be no assurance that
the Company will ever be successful in developing or manufacturing a
commercially viable SLM device or any of its proposed display products. In
addition, there is no assurance that an SLM device or any of the Company's
display products will be technically or commercially successful or that the
Company will be able to manufacture adequate quantities of its SLM devices or
any of its display products at commercially acceptable cost levels or on a
timely basis.
LACK OF SALES, MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION EXPERIENCE. The Company currently
employs no full time sales or marketing specialists. The Company intends to
form alliances with corporate partners for the marketing and distribution of
certain of its anticipated display products. There can be
no assurance that the Company will be successful in forming and maintaining such
alliances or that the Company's partners will devote adequate resources to
successfully market and distribute these anticipated products. There can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to attract and retain qualified
marketing and sales personnel, that the Company will be able to enter into
satisfactory agreements with marketing partners or that the Company or its
marketing partners will be successful in gaining market acceptance for its
anticipated products.
NO ASSURANCES OF SUCCESSFUL MANUFACTURING. The Company has no experience
manufacturing SLM devices or display products. The Company's facility is
designed principally for research and development and small scale assembly and
inventory storage, and the Company currently engages outside manufacturers to
produce its SLM devices. The Company is negotiating with several manufacturers
for establishment of full scale integrated manufacturing capacity for its SLM
devices and has reached an agreement with one manufacturer for fabrication of
silicon wafers. However, no decision has been made by any such manufacturer to
establish such a capability and there can be no assurance that any of them will
do so. In the event any such manufacturer establishes a full scale integrated
manufacturing capability, the Company could become dependent on such
manufacturer for the manufacture of SLM devices. The termination or
cancellation of the Company's agreement with the manufacturer could adversely
affect the Company's ability to manufacture its products. In such event, the
Company could be required to establish an alternative manufacturing relationship
or establish its own manufacturing capability. There can be no assurance that
the Company would be able to establish such a relationship on acceptable terms
or develop its own manufacturing capability; in any event the time required to
establish such a substitute relationship or capability could substantially delay
the commercialization of the Company's SLM devices and display products, which,
in turn, could have a substantial adverse impact on the Company's results of
operations and financial condition.
11
<PAGE>
PATENTS AND PROTECTION OF PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY. The Company's ability to
compete effectively with other companies will depend, in part, on the ability
of the Company to maintain the proprietary nature of its technologies.
Although the Company has been awarded or has filed applications for several
patents in the United States, there can be no assurance as to the degree of
protection offered by these patents, or as to the likelihood that pending
patents will be issued. Furthermore, the Company has not yet applied for or
obtained any foreign patents. There can be no assurance that competitors, in
both the United States and foreign countries, many of which have
substantially greater resources and have made substantial investments in
competing technologies, will not seek to apply for and obtain patents that
will prevent, limit or interfere with the Company's ability to make and sell
its products or intentionally infringe the Company's patents. The defense
and prosecution of patent suits is both costly and time consuming, even if
the outcome is favorable to the Company. This is particularly true in
foreign countries. In addition, there is an inherent unpredictability
regarding obtaining and enforcing patents in foreign countries. An adverse
outcome in the defense of a patent suit could subject the Company to
significant liabilities to third parties, require disputed rights to be
licensed from third parties, or require the Company to cease selling its
products. The Company also relies on unpatented proprietary technology and
there can be no assurance that others may not independently develop the same
or similar technology or otherwise obtain access to the Company's proprietary
technology. To protect its rights in these areas, the Company requires all
employees and most consultants, advisors and collaborators to enter into
confidentiality agreements. There can be no assurance, however, that these
agreements will provide meaningful protection for the Company's trade
secrets, know how or other proprietary information in the event of any
unauthorized use, misappropriation or disclosure of such trade secrets, know
how or other proprietary information. To date, the Company has no experience
in enforcing its confidentiality agreements.
RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE; COMPETITION. The electronic imaging display
industry has undergone rapid and significant technological change. The Company
expects the technology to continue to develop rapidly, and the Company's success
will depend significantly on its ability to maintain a competitive position.
Rapid technological development may result in actual and proposed products or
processes becoming obsolete before the Company recoups a significant portion of
related research and development, acquisition and commercialization costs. If
the Company is successful in the development of a commercially viable SLM device
and its proposed display and other products, the Company's ability to compete
will depend in part upon the consistency of product quality and delivery, as
well as pricing, technical capability and servicing, in addition to factors
within and outside its control, including the success and timing of product
introductions by the Company and its competitors, product performance and price,
product distribution and customer support. There can be no assurance that the
Company's competitors will not succeed in developing technologies and products
that are equally or more effective than any which are being developed by the
Company or that will render the Company's technology, SLM devices or display
and other products obsolete and non competitive. In addition, numerous
competitors have substantially greater financial, technical and other resources
than the Company. The Company may face an aggressive, well financed competitive
response that may include misappropriation of the Company's intellectual
property or predatory pricing.
The electronic imaging display industry has been characterized by rapid and
significant technological advances. There can be no assurance that the
Company's SLM devices and display products will be reflective of such advances
or that the Company will have sufficient funds to invest in new technologies or
12
<PAGE>
products or processes. A number of companies in the United States assemble
workstation monitors using LCDs and cathode ray tubes ("CRTs") purchased from
Japan. A number of Japanese companies build monitors around their LCDs and
CRTs. Korean companies are also entering the LCD and CRT monitor market.
Development of improved high definition LCDs and CRTs continues to receive
significant attention by these and other companies. Although the Company
believes that its SLM products have the capability to improve LCD performance
beyond that of commercially available LCD and CRT based display products, there
is no assurance that manufacturers of LCDs or CRTs will not develop further
improvements of LCD or CRT technology that would eliminate or diminish the
Company's anticipated advantage.
PRODUCT LIABILITY. As a manufacturer and marketer of electronic equipment and
components, the Company may be subject to potential product liability claims.
There can be no assurance that the Company will carry sufficient insurance to
cover all possible liabilities. In the event of a successful suit against the
Company, such an insufficiency of insurance coverage could have a material
adverse impact on the financial condition of the Company. In addition, the cost
of defending or settling a product liability action and the negative publicity
arising therefrom could have a material adverse impact on the Company. The
Company is not aware of any current pending or threatened product liability
claim against it.
DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL. The Company is dependent upon its key
scientific and management personnel, including its Chief Executive Officer,
William Hollis, and its Vice President, Dean Irwin. The Company does not
maintain key man life insurance on Messrs. Hollis or Irwin. In 1996, the
Company entered into a three year employment agreement with Mr. Hollis and a
two year employment agreement with Mr. Irwin. The loss of the services of
one or more key individuals may have a material adverse impact on the
Company. The Company's success will also depend on its ability to attract
and retain other highly qualified scientific, marketing, manufacturing and
other key management personnel. The Company faces competition for such
personnel and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
attract or retain such personnel.
DEPENDENCE ON THIRD PARTIES TO DEVELOP PRODUCTS INCORPORATING SLM. The
Company intends to develop its SLM devices to be a component for
incorporation into finished products to be developed, manufactured and
marketed by third parties. The Company does not plan, nor does it have the
financial resources, to develop or market any such end products itself.
Therefore, the Company will be completely dependent upon independent third
parties for the development, manufacturing and marketing of such products.
No such products exist today, and the Company does not have commitments from
any third party for such development, manufacturing or marketing. There can
be no assurance that any third party will develop or market a product
incorporating the Company's SLM's. If not, there will be no market for the
Company's SLM's.
DEPENDENCE ON FEW CUSTOMERS. There were no sales in the quarters ended March
31, 1997 or 1996. In 1996 sales were made only to 5 customers. There can be
no assurance that any of the Company's past customers will purchase
additional units in the future. Loss of any one customer could have a
material adverse impact on the Company.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
By letter dated January 13, 1997, counsel for Jalcanto, Ltd. and Sabotini,
Ltd. (the "Investors") notified the Company that these Investors were electing
to rescind the Share Purchase Agreements dated July 10, 1996, as amended (the
"Purchase Agreements"), under which on July 11, 1996 the Investors purchased a
total of 2,135,000 shares of common stock in the Company, and were demanding a
refund by January 17, 1997 of the purchase price of such shares, or $1,783,125,
plus interest. The alleged ground for rescission is the fact that the Company's
registration statement on Form S-3 pertaining to the resale of such shares was
not declared effective by the SEC on or before December 31, 1996. Subsequently,
by letter dated February 3, 1997, counsel for the Investors notified the Company
that Jalcanto, Ltd. had retracted its demand for rescission, with reservation of
all rights. The letter reiterated the rescission demand on behalf of Sabotini,
Ltd., and the request that the Company return $891,562.50.
On February 5, 1997, the Company was served notice that it has been sued by
each of the Investors in the Superior Court of the State of California for the
County of Marin. Each Investor filed a complaint for breach of contract,
specific performance and indemnification relating to the alleged failure to
timely complete this registration statement. In addition, each complaint
requests that the court issue a preliminary and permanent injunction against
future issuances of shares of the Company's common stock or securities
convertible into common stock without the Investor's consent. The complaint
filed by Sabotini Ltd. also requests rescission and the return of the full
purchase price of its shares. On March 3, 1997, a hearing was held with respect
to the Selling Shareholders' request that a writ of attachment on all of the
Company's assets be issued to ensure enforceability of an eventual judgment.
The court denied the application for the writ without prejudice.
The Company intends to defend itself vigorously in both actions and believes
that it is not probable that the shareholders will prevail in rescinding the
Purchase Agreement. The Company may be required to expend substantial funds and
management resources in connection with the defense and any settlement or
judgment; accordingly, the ultimate resolution of this litigation may have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business and financial statements taken
as a whole.
Item 5. OTHER INFORMATION
During the first quarter of 1997, the Company appointed L. John Loomis to
the position of Chief Operating Officer. Mr. Loomis' responsibilities include
design engineering, manufacturing, and working with customers to develop new
product applications.
The common stock of the Company has been traded in the over-the-counter
market since the Company's initial public offering on February 5, 1992. Until
April 1, 1997, the common stock was listed on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market
under the symbol "SLHT". NASD delisted the Company from the Nasdaq SmallCap
Market effective April 2, 1997 because the Company does not meet the
$2,000,000 minimum total asset requirement for continued listing. Trading in
the Company's common stock after April 2, 1997 has been conducted in the
over-the-counter market in the so-called "pink sheets" or the NASD's "OTC
Bulletin Board". As a result of the delisting, the liquidity of the Company's
securities may be impaired, not only in the numbers of securities which could
be bought and sold, but also through delays in the timing of transactions,
reduction in security analysts' and news media coverage of the Company, and
lower prices for the Company's securities than might otherwise be obtained.
