Dais Corporation

Notes to Condensed Financial Statements

September 30, 2023 and 2022

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1. Background Information

 

Dais Corporation (“Dais”, “us,” “we,”, the “Company”), a New York corporation, is a nano-structured polymer technology materials company having developed and now commercializing products using its family of nanomaterials called Aqualyte, with Aqualyte itself the first product commercialized. The second commercial product is ConsERV, a fixed plate energy recovery ventilator which we believe is useful in meeting building indoor fresh air requirements while saving energy and lowering emissions for most forms of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment. The Company was incorporated in April 1993 and its corporate headquarters is in Odessa, Florida.

 

The Company is dependent on third parties to manufacture the key components needed for its nanostructured materials and some portion of the value-added products made with these materials. Accordingly, a suppliers’ failure to supply components in a timely manner, or to supply components that meet the Company’s quality, quantity and cost requirements or technical specifications, or the inability to obtain alternative sources of these components on a timely basis or on acceptable terms, would create delays in production of the Company’s products and/or increase its unit costs of production. Certain of the components or the processes of the Company’s suppliers are proprietary. If the Company was ever required to replace any of its suppliers, it should be able to obtain comparable components from alternative suppliers at comparable costs, but this would create a delay in production and may briefly affect the Company’s operations.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The Company’s accompanying condensed financial statements are unaudited, but in the opinion of management reflect all adjustments necessary to fairly state the Company’s financial position, results of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows as of and for the dates and periods presented. The financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information.

 

The unaudited financial statements and notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted although the Company generally believes that the disclosures are adequate to ensure that the information presented is not misleading. The accompanying financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 30, 2023. The results of operations for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future quarters or for the entire year ending December 31, 2023.

 

Note 2. Going Concern and Management’s Plans

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company generated a net loss of $5,931,924 and has incurred significant losses since inception. As of September 30, 2023, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $68,206,589, total stockholders’ deficit of $14,476,479, negative working capital of $14,509,449 and cash and cash equivalents of $19,511. The Company used $1,191,075 and $1,389,768 of cash for operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, and 2022, respectively, which was funded primarily by proceeds from loans from related parties and others. There is no assurance that any such financing will be available in the future. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company is currently pursuing the following sources of short and long-term working capital:

 

 

1.

The Company guided by its Financial Advisors is actively working with targeted third parties who have or are interested in licensing, purchasing the rights to, or establishing a joint venture to commercialize applications of the Company’s technology;

 

 

 

 

2.

The Company continues to seek capital from key strategic and/or government (grant) related sources. These sources may, pursuant to any agreements that may be developed in conjunction with such funding, assist in the product definition and design, roll-out, and channel penetration of products;

 

 

 

 

3.

The Company is actively working with newer investors, private equity companies, purchase order financing parties, and its existing debt holders to restructure its existing debt and obtain short and long-term working and growth capital; and,

 

 

 

 

4.

The Company may license or sell an asset to fund its continued growth as it is clear to management the market for the Company’s product innovations has changed in a positive way as demonstrated by the interest the Company’s nano-material and applications in certain markets.

Table of Contents

 

Management believes:

 

 

1.

The Company’s ability to solve continuing supply chain issues and raise sustainable growth capital will dictate future revenue and cash-flow for the Company. The quicker these issues are resolved we believe the faster the Company can participate in the market’s uptick momentum and follow the projected growth curve. These issues place heavy pressure on management to progress in key business areas being impacted. Continued supply chain impacts have roots in the funding challenges. The use of funds from affordable growth capital to resolve inventory levels of hard to acquire parts could be achieved within one quarter. Raising affordable capital is tied to addressing in a mutually agreeable manner with the Parties convertible debt transactions (recently found to be ‘criminally usurious - (Adar Bays, LLC v. GeneSYS ID, Inc.) used in the past to grow the Company with a plan to replace this convertible debt with lower cost funds. The Company has made progress yet still faces a worldwide public market in turmoil since February of 2022. In the intertest of expediting this situation, the Company is accelerating the use of its limited resources and is seeking to add affordable public, and non-public growth resources, and with Board approval, is seeking to monetize one asset via a license/supply agreement. Such a plan (monetize an asset) will require approval by the Company’s Senior Secured Noteholder.

 

 

 

 

2.

The Senior Secured Note Holder has advised Management it is exploring its options to resolve the long standing unpaid – and growing debt by the Company.

 

 

 

 

3.

Ventilation is regularly recommended as one of the solutions to Covid related mitigation and the market awareness for the ConsERV product(s) is increasing and lead activity is encouraging.

 

 

 

 

4.

We believe our current cash position and our projected ability to obtain additional sources of growth capital, and to generate sustainable cash flow from operations and investments into 2023 is improving yet remains challenged.

 

We believe the Company’s prospects to secure growth funding remain good. On a macro level we believe the world-wide market for the equipment type the Company is selling (and developing) has changed for the positive in the last two years reflecting end user awareness of the need to address Climate Change related issues faster, and the changes in buying habits forged by the world-wide pandemic. On more of a micro level the company has shown solid progress over the last three quarters, removed a serious impediment to growth by completing a ‘debt to equity’ program where the convertible noteholders debt positions were converted into equity (common stock and warrants). The company introduced a popular new line of our ConsERV equipment having improved performance and pricing to a growing independent sales channel throughout North America. We reached agreement (still moving to contract stage) in late 4Q 2022 between the company and its Senior Secured Note Holder (having deep rights with the assets of the Company which are pledged as security for repayment of the Note). The company is continuing to develop the basis of a long-term business relationship with a well-known, multi-national corporation interested in using the Company’s HVAC and water products for its own and third-party use.

 

There are no assurances we will be able to obtain the financing and planned product development commercialization. Accordingly, we may not have the ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Note 3. Significant Accounting Policies

 

The significant accounting policies followed are:

 

Use of estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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.

 

Significant estimates underlying the Company’s reported financial position and results of operations include the allowance for doubtful accounts, fair value of stock-based compensation, fair value of derivative liabilities, valuation allowance on deferred taxes and the warranty reserve.

 

Revenue recognition - The Company has adopted the new revenue recognition guidelines in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606). The Company analyzes its contracts to assess that they are within the scope and in accordance with ASC 606. In determining the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as the Company fulfills its obligations under each of its agreements, whether for goods and services or licensing, the Company performs the following steps: (i) identification of the promised goods or services in the contract; (ii) determination of whether the promised goods or services are performance obligations including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; (iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations based on estimated selling prices; and (v) recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation. The Company acts as a principal in its revenue transactions as the Company is the primary obligor in the transactions. Generally, the Company recognizes revenue for its products upon shipment to customers, provided no significant obligations remain and collection is probable.

 

In certain instances, the Company’s ConsERV system product may carry a limited warranty of up to one year for all parts contained therein except for the energy recovery ventilator core produced and sold by the Company. The distributor of the ConsERV system may carry a limited warranty of up to ten years. The limited warranty includes replacement of defective parts for the ConsERV system and includes workmanship and material failure for the ConsERV core. The Company recorded an accrual of $91,531 for future warranty expenses at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, which is included in accrued expenses, other.

 

Royalty revenue is recognized as earned. The Company recognized royalty revenue of $0 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Revenue derived from the sale of licenses is deferred and recognized as license fee revenue on a straight-line basis over the life of the license, or until the license arrangement is terminated. The Company recognized license fee revenue of $12,500 and $12,500 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively and $37,500 and $37,500 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Table of Contents

 

The Company accounts for revenue arrangements with multiple elements under the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Boards (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 605-25, “Revenue Recognition-Multiple-Element Arrangements.” To account for these agreements, the Company must identify the deliverables included within the agreement and evaluate which deliverables represent separate units of accounting based on if certain criteria are met, including whether the delivered element has stand-alone value to the licensee. The consideration received is allocated among the separate units of accounting, and the applicable revenue recognition criteria are applied to each of the separate units.

 

In December 2017, the Company and Zhejiang MENRED Environmental Tech Co, Ltd., Zhejiang Province, China (“Menred”), entered into a License and Supply Agreement (the “Agreement”), effective December 21, 2017. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company licensed certain intellectual property and improvements to Menred, for use in the manufacture and sale of energy recovery ventilators (“ERV”) and certain other HVAC systems for installation in commercial, residential, or industrial buildings in China. Menred also agreed to purchase its requirements of certain products from the Company for Menred’s use, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Agreement. Menred will also pay royalties, as defined, to the Company on a quarterly basis, based on price and production volume as provided by Menred. No royalties are due within the first year of the Agreement. Also pursuant to the Agreement, the Company is required to purchase a certain amount of Product from Menred. The Agreement has a ten-year term with mutually agreed upon five-year extensions.

 

Cash and cash equivalents - For purposes of the Statements of Cash Flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained at financial institutions, and, at times, balances may exceed federally insured limits. The Company had no uninsured balances at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The Company has never experienced any losses related to these balances. The Company does not have any cash equivalents at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

 

Concentrations - At September 30, 2023, four customers accounted for 78% of accounts receivable. At December 31, 2022, two customers accounted for 76% of accounts receivable. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, three customers accounted for 60% of total revenue. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, one customer accounted for 60% of total revenue. 

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, deferred revenue, customer deposits and notes payable are carried at historical cost. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the carrying amounts of these instruments approximated their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

 

Inventory - Inventory consists of raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods and is stated at the lower of cost, determined by first-in, first-out method, or market. Market is determined based on the net realizable value, with appropriate consideration given to obsolescence, excessive levels, deterioration, and other factors. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had $206,958 and $269,083 of raw materials, $4,363 and $5,997 of in-process inventory and $0 and $19,392 of finished goods inventory, respectively. A reserve is recorded for any inventory deemed excessive or obsolete. No reserve is recorded at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

 

Property and equipment - Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from 3 to 7 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their estimated useful lives of 5 years or the related lease term. Depreciation expense was $2,301 and $2,424 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $7,420 and $6,591 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Gains and losses upon disposition are reflected in the Statement of Operations in the period of disposition. Maintenance and repair expenditures are charged to expense as incurred. There were no dispositions of property and equipment in 2023 or 2022.

 

Intangible assets - Identified intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company’s existing intangible assets consist solely of patents. Patents are amortized over their estimated useful or economic lives of 17 years. Patent amortization expense was $5,229 and $5,078 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively and $15,374 and $14,860 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Based on current capitalized costs, total patent amortization expense is estimated to be approximately $20,000 per year for the next five years and thereafter.

 

Research and development expenses and funding proceeds - Expenditures for research, development and engineering of products are expensed as incurred. The Company incurred research and development costs of $75,135 and $85,887 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively and $307,894 and $212,508 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company accounts for proceeds received from government funding for research as a reduction in research and development costs. The Company recorded no proceeds against research and development expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

 

Derivative Liability - The Company has financial instruments that are considered derivatives or contain embedded features subject to derivative accounting. Embedded derivatives are valued separately from the host instrument and are recognized as derivative liabilities in the Company’s balance sheet. The Company measures these instruments at their estimated fair value and recognizes changes in their estimated fair value in results of operations during the period of change.

 

Fair Value Measurements - The Company accounts for financial instruments in accordance with ASC 820 “Fair value Measurement and Disclosures”. ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs).

Table of Contents

 

The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

 

 

·

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

 

·

Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g. interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

 

·

Level 3 - Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

 

The reconciliation of the derivative liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis using unobservable inputs (Level 3) is as follows for the nine months ended September 30, 2023:

Earnings (loss) per share - Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted income (loss) per share is computed giving effect to all potentially dilutive common shares. Potentially dilutive common shares may consist of incremental shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants and upon the conversion of notes. In periods in which a net loss has been incurred, all potentially dilutive common shares are considered anti-dilutive and thus are excluded from the calculation. Common share equivalents of 299,779,207 and 29,996,165 shares were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, because their effect is anti-dilutive.

Of the 2023 advances, funds in the amount of $592,960 originally came from Ethos Business Ventures. It was a last-minute change of plan to assist the Company meet its obligations in a timely manner. This last-minute change was made necessary by an administrative error at the bank of PKT Strategic Assets, LLC. who was to have been the lender of record and is the lender of the Company’s senior secured promissory note and security agreement. To correct this error, management of Dais (with BOD approval), Ethos, and PKT agreed on April 3, 2023, that effective immediately, the ownership of the $592,960 sum will be transferred to PKT Strategic Assets, LLC at no cost or term and condition alteration except as it pertains to relevant language to effect the change in ownership.

On February 27, 2015, the Company, and Tim N. Tangredi, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer entered an amendment (the “Tangredi Employment Agreement Amendment”) to Mr. Tangredi’s Amended and Restated Employment Agreement. Currently, the Company has non-interest-bearing accrued compensation due to the Chief Executive Officer for deferred salaries earned and unpaid as described above. The Tangredi Employment Agreement Amendment provides that, if at any time during a calendar year, the unpaid compensation is greater than $500,000, Mr. Tangredi must convert $100,000 of unpaid compensation into the Company’s common stock during such calendar year. The conversion rate shall be equal to 75% of the average closing price for the Company’s common stock for the 30 trading days prior to the date of conversion. The Company shall also pay to Mr. Tangredi a cash payment equal to 20% of the compensation income incurred because of the change. The Company has waived the conversion requirement from 2015 to the present.

 

Further, at any time any “person” or “group” (as such terms are used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rules 13(d)-3 and 13(d)-5 under such Act) of greater of 40% of the then-outstanding voting power of the voting equity interests of the Company or a person or group initiate a tender offer for the Company’s common stock, Mr. Tangredi may convert unpaid compensation into Class A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Class A Preferred Stock”) of the Company at a conversion price of $1.50 per share. The Board of Directors waived the requirement to convert $100,000 of unpaid compensation into common stock during 2016. No amounts have been converted under the terms of the Tangredi Employment Agreement Amendment to date.

 

On January 27, 2022, the Board approved the distribution of Series F Convertible Preferred Warrants to Board members, the Dais Team, and those contractually bound to receive these warrants on January 27, 2022. These new Series were approved by NYS Division of Corporations on March 23, 2022.

10,000 of the shares of preferred stock has been designated as Class B Preferred Stock. The Class A Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to 150 votes on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Company. The Class B Stock includes the right to vote in an amount equal to 51% of the votes to approve certain corporate actions, including, without limitation, changing the name of the Company and increasing the number of authorized shares.

 

Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, no distribution shall be made to the holders of shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Class A or Class B Preferred Stock unless, prior thereto, the holders of shares of Class A or Class B Preferred Stock shall have received $1.50 per share (the “Stated Amount”). The Class A and Class B Preferred Stock shall rank, with respect to the payment of liquidation, dividends and the distribution of assets, senior to the Company’s Common Stock.

 

The Holder (as defined in the Class A Preferred Stock certificate of designations) of the Class A Preferred Stock may convert all or part of the outstanding and unpaid Stated Amount (as defined in the Class A Preferred Stock certificate of designations) into fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Company’s common stock at the Conversion Price (as defined in the Class A Preferred Stock certificate of designations). The number of shares receivable upon conversion equals the Stated Amount divided by the Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall be equal to 75% of the average closing price for the 30 trading days prior to the election to convert. At no time will the Company convert any of the Stated Amount into common stock if that would result in the Holder beneficially owning more than 49% of the sum of the voting power of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock plus the voting power of the Class A Preferred Stock. No shares of Class A Preferred Stock have been issued.

Note 9. Derivative Liabilities

 

The Company has identified certain embedded derivatives related to one of its convertible notes. Since the note is convertible into a variable number of shares, the conversion features of the note is recorded as a derivative liability. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record fair value of the derivatives as of the inception date and to adjust to fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date.

 

The Company identified embedded derivatives related to the conversion features of the September 2023 note described in Note 7. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the fair value of the derivatives as of the inception date of the note and to adjust the fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. The Company calculated the fair value of the embedded derivative at the inception of the note as $128,951, using the Black Scholes Model based on the following assumptions: (1) risk free interest rate of 5.42%; (2) dividend yield of 0%; (3) volatility factor of the expected market price of the Company's common stock of 421%; and (4) an expected life of 1 year. The initial fair value of the embedded debt derivative was allocated $60,000 as debt discount, which will be amortized to interest expense over the original term of the note, with the balance of $68,951 charged to expense at issue date as non-cash interest expense. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded income of $4,183 related to the change in the fair value of the derivative. The fair value of the embedded derivatives was $124,768 at September 30, 2023, determined using the Black Scholes Model with the following assumptions: (1) risk free interest rate of 5.462%; (2) dividend yield of 0%; (3) volatility factor of the expected market price of the Company’s common stock of 439%; and (4) an expected life of 11 months. 

 

Note 10. Deferred Revenue

 

In December 2017, the Company and Zhejiang MENRED Environmental Tech Co, Ltd., Zhejiang Province, China (“Menred”), entered into a royalty bearing License and Supply Agreement (the “License and Supply Agreement”), effective December 21, 2017. Pursuant to the License and Supply Agreement, the Company licensed certain intellectual property and improvements to Menred, for use in the manufacture and sale of certain product types sold by Menred mostly for installation in buildings in China.

Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies

 

Litigation

 

From time to time, claims are made against the Company in the ordinary course of its business, which could result in litigation. Claims and associated litigation are subject to inherent uncertainties and unfavorable outcomes could occur, such as monetary damages, fines, penalties, or injunctions prohibiting the Company from selling one or more products or engaging in other activities. The occurrence of an unfavorable outcome in any specific period could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations for that period or future periods. 

 

In 2015, the Company commenced an action for the cancellation of shares issued to Soex (the “Shares”) in connection with a breached Securities Purchase Agreement and Distribution Agreement entered 2014.

 

The Soex Litigation was tried in U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida in October of 2018. The jury at the conclusion of the trial did not award monetary damages to either party for claims or counterclaims.

 

On October 24, 2018, the Company initiated a third lawsuit against an affiliate of Soex, Zhongshan Trans-Tech New Material Technology Co. Ltd. Zhongshan, China, (“Transtech”), and the Chairperson of the affiliate and Soex, based on new information learned by the Company. The Company will seek maximum relief and damages for this on-going and growing illegal misuse the Company’s Intellectual Property.

The Company is dependent on third parties to manufacture the key components needed for its nanostructured materials and some parts of the value-added products made with these materials. Accordingly, a suppliers’ failure to supply components in a timely manner, or to supply components that meet the Company’s quality, quantity and cost requirements or technical specifications, or the inability to obtain alternative sources of these components on a timely basis or on acceptable terms, would create delays in production of the Company’s products and/or increase its unit costs of production. Certain of the components or the processes of the Company’s suppliers are proprietary. If the Company was ever required to replace any of its suppliers, it should be able to obtain comparable components from alternative suppliers at comparable costs, but this would create a delay in production and may briefly affect the Company’s operations.

 

COVID-19 World-wide Pandemic

During the COVID Pandemic awareness of the benefits of increased ventilation in homes and the workplace has emerged as a primary focus on the prevention of exposure to bacteria and viruses. The Company is uniquely positioned as its current products are designed to provide a solution to these issues, especially with increased ventilation. Health experts continue to cite increased ventilation as a major factor to battle future outbreaks. The ConsERV products are specifically designed to increase new, fresh, ventilated, air in our homes and workplaces. Management is developing and executing plans to increase product awareness through existing and prospective sales channels.

 

Climate Change and Carbon Reduction

Countries and corporations around the world are adopting aggressive plans to achieve newly established Carbon Neutral goals by 2030 and 2050. This worldwide effort is attracting attention to innovative technologies which reduce carbon emissions. Management is confident of the successful track record of current products, with a history of increasing the efficiency of HVAC systems and reducing CO2 emissions should drive increased business activity.

 

Supply Chain Management

Economies around the World are experiencing inflationary pressures which are impacting prices and availability of materials throughout the supply chain. Management is taking a more aggressive strategy to identify a diverse portfolio of suppliers to increase options for materials and parts. The supply and availability of certain components remain sporadic and limited across the supply chain.

Overview

 

Dais Corporation (“Dais”, “us,” “we,”, the “Company”) is a nanomaterial technology company developing and commercializing products using the nanomaterial called Aqualyte. The first commercial product is the Aqualyte nanomaterial itself. It is useful in managing moisture and key gases in a variety of cross-industry products and is effective in the destruction of pathogens that meet the material, (As verified by 3rd part analysis). We continue to develop other Aqualyte uses in cross-industry applications, HVAC/Refrigeration, energy, etc. One area of focused attention has been development work on a variant of Aqualyte targeting surface treatments to potentially create a protective layer designed to inactivate human coronaviruses.

 

The second commercial product is called ConsERV, a fixed plate energy recovery ventilator which is useful in meeting building indoor fresh air requirements while saving energy and lowering emissions for most forms of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment.

 

Corporate History

 

We were incorporated as a New York corporation on April 8, 1993, as Dais Corporation. The Company was formed to develop new, cost-effective polymer materials for various applications, including providing a lower cost membrane material for Polymer Electrolyte Membrane fuel cells. We believe our research on materials science has yielded technological advances in the field of selective ion transport polymer materials.

 

In December 1999, the Company purchased the assets of Analytic Power Corporation, a corporation founded in 1984 to provide design, analysis, and systems integration services in the field of fuel cells, fuel processors, and integrated fuel cell power systems. Subsequently, on December 13, 1999, the Company changed its name to Dais Analytic Corporation. In the ensuing years the Company has purchased and/or sold assets for cash and/or assumption of certain company’s obligations seeking a path to solid, continuing growth, or monetize non-performing Company assets.

 

In November of 2018 the board of directors unanimously voted to change the name of the Company from Dais Analytic Corporation to Dais Corporation (the “Name Change”). The Name Change took effect with FINRA on February 27, 2019.

 

Our Technology

 

AqualyteTM

 

We use proprietary chemistry to reformulate thermoplastic materials called polymers, creating a nanotechnology material through which water and a select group of similar substances can permeate at a molecular level as opposed to flowing in bulk as liquid water through a pore. At the same time, the permeability of oxygen, nitrogen, and most other substances is severely limited, making the material extremely selective. We call this specialized material AqualyteTM and we have been granted a series of patents relating to its manufacture and use.

 

AqualyteTM is the foundation of the Dais product line, using the unique material’s properties to enable differentiated air, energy, and water products. Products generally are highly efficient, have fewer or no moving parts, and notably are kinder and gentler to our planet Earth. The nanomaterial-based products market is growing worldwide as more eyes are on the accelerating push for highly efficient products like those Dais features.

ConsERVTM

 

Sales channels for our ConsERV product continue to expand. This energy conservation product typically saves an average of 30% on HVAC operating costs while providing increased amounts of ventilation air. The economic savings typically allow the remainder of the system to be smaller (less expensive) and/or achieve the same results from a reduced run time, reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from electrical power generation. ConsERV generally attaches onto existing HVAC systems and is useful in both commercial and residential structures to provide improved ventilation air within the structure. In turn, this yields health benefits (reduced COVID-19 exposure, fewer allergy and asthma ‘trigger’ contaminants) and productivity improvements (improvement in cognitive abilities).

 

ConsERV separates incoming fresh ventilation air from outgoing exhaust air with our Aqualyte nanotechnology polymer in an enthalpy heat exchanger referred to as a “core”. While Aqualyte physically isolates the air streams so they don’t mix, heat and moisture are freely exchanged through the material. For summer air conditioning, the core preconditions the incoming air by removing some of the heat and humidity and transferring it to the exhaust air stream, saving energy. For winter heating, the core recovers a portion of the heat and humidity in the exhaust air and transfers it to the incoming air to reduce heating requirements.

 

When compared to similar competitive products, and based on test results conducted by the Air-Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI), a leading industry association, ConsERV maintains an industry-leading position in the management of latent heat.

 

The market for energy recovery ventilation equipment is changing as the technology is better understood. Management believes this change is linked to the industry’s specification-setting body (ASHRAE) and the US Centers for Disease Control stating that pathogens can and do travel via HVAC systems and duct work as reported by the White House Science Advisory Panel, the US EPA, NIH/Harvard, Trane Corporation, and more. This potential change in the market for ERVs coupled with the seemingly proven value proposition Dais’s ConsERV product provides optimism to the Management team and the Board of Directors for the future of the ConsERV product.

 

The Company began engineering for an updated line of ConsERV products in the year 2020 (known as the “N Series”) with new cores and packaged systems that incorporate the Company’s experience with the ERV market. The line was certified by the needed outside agencies and initial market introduction began in the 4th quarter of 2021. We have seen positive market reception to date, and believe based on the N Series performance, price-point, and end-user feedback that the product will continue to be well received in the market. Sales of existing cores and customer systems are expected to continue generating revenue as we increase the number of sales channels for ConsERV. The newer N Series has begun contributing to increasing revenues in the second quarter of 2022 and beyond. Engineering efforts continue to optimize the N Series design for both manufacturing and customer usage.

 

The Company has increased its product offerings by selling and delivering custom-engineered systems in addition to the N Series. These products are constructed from an aluminum frame-and-panel system that allows ready modification and configuration to match customer requirements, making them well-suited to large projects with a relatively customized HVAC plant. These designs are evolutions of the D, J, and Z Series systems the Company sold prior to 2013, allowing them to be introduced to the market relatively quickly.

 

DisruptorCCTM

 

The Company is prepared to begin ‘soft-selling’ a new HVAC product (based around the Aqualyte membrane) as another member of the company’s HVAC group called NanoAir™. This moisture management system increases or decreases the humidity of the process air as commanded to enable precise control of conditions without requiring traditional systems such as steam boilers. The initial sale of this product has been purchased and shipped to a large multinational company in the HVAC industry using it on one of their own facilities to maintain a narrow humidity range needed for precise manufacturing operations. The large multinational company in the HVAC industry has an open purchase order to buy over twenty DisruptorCC units. The Disruptor™ extends the company’s HVAC product offerings. The DisruptorCC expands the Dais product line into new within the HVAC market.

Product Summary

 

Dais’s advanced material has many demonstrated uses. Management is positioning most of the Company’s resources behind ConsERV, and is working to grow revenues of Aqualyte™ nanomaterials and engineering support in areas where Aqualyte has shown proven results and Dais has partners well-placed to bring products to market. This strategy leverages the Company’s experience and depth in marketing, building, and selling ConsERV cores and systems and in manufacturing and selling high performance Aqualyte nanomaterial.

 

Increased sales activities for advanced materials are focused on targeted companies within key industries worldwide, taking full advantage of Dais’s past and continuing market penetration efforts. The uses include energy recovery ventilation and other known HVAC and select cross-industry uses.

 

To help us support our capabilities to deliver ConsERV cores and systems, and Aqualyte advanced nanomaterials, we have qualified manufacturing companies to join our supply chain to produce materials and components. Guided by Dais-qualified manufacturing practices these efforts target the growing demand for product in North America, European Union, and Southeast Asia (including China). We project this expansion of the supply chain will result in lower costs and quicker order fulfillment, generating revenues faster.

 

Orders are already being generated from these agreements, and we expect them to increase as we expand and add new strategic partnerships along the way. The new orders include sales of Aqualyte nanomaterials, components for energy recovery ventilation, and other known HVAC and select cross industry products.

Revenue

 

We generate our revenues primarily from the sale of our ConsERV cores and systems and Aqualyte membrane. Product sales were $700,546 and $492,394 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, and 2022, respectively, an increase of $208,152 or 42%. The increase in revenue was driven by an increase in ConsERV core sales and a custom project.. We are focusing on creating sustainable revenues with Aqualyte and ConsERV core and system sales with the expectation that this will continue to allow for growth in 2023 and beyond.

 

Revenues from royalty and license fees were $12,500 and $12,500 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, and 2022, respectively.

 

Cost of sales

 

Our cost of sales consists primarily of materials (including freight), direct labor, and outsourced manufacturing expenses incurred to produce our ConsERV cores and systems and Aqualyte nanomaterial. Cost of goods sold were $379,744 and $381,214 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 respectively, a decrease of $1,470or 0.5%. This decrease in cost of goods sold reflects our increased product sales and decreased cost of materials.

 

We are dependent on third parties to manufacture the key components needed for our nano-structured based materials and some portion of the value-added products made with these materials. Accordingly, a supplier’s failure to supply components in a timely manner, or to supply components that meet our quality, quantity and cost requirements or technical specifications, or the inability to obtain alternative sources of these components on a timely basis or on acceptable terms, would create delays in production of our products and/or increase the unit costs of production. Certain of the components or the processes of our suppliers are proprietary. If we were ever required to replace any of our suppliers, we should be able to obtain comparable components from alternative suppliers at comparable costs, but this would create a delay in production.

 

Gross margin

 

Gross margin from the sales of products was $333,302 and $123,680 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, and 2022 respectively, representing 47% and 25% for the three months ended September 30, 2023, and 2022.

 

We believe there are continuing issues relating to the cost of components and related shipping as supply-chain related challenges force changes in pricing of certain components. We continue to address these issues by closely tracking production costs and adjusting the prices for our ConsERV product line while continuing to work within our supply chain to reduce these costs.

 

Research and development costs

 

Expenditures for research and development are expensed as incurred. We incurred research and development costs of $75,135 and $85,887 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, and 2022, a decrease of $10,752 or 13%. We account for proceeds received from government funding for research and development as a reduction in research and development costs. We recorded proceeds against research and development expenses on the Statements of Operations of $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, and 2022.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

 

Our selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of payroll and related benefits, professional fees, marketing and channel support costs, and other infrastructure costs such as insurance, information technology and occupancy expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $2,668,136 and $430,455 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, an increase of $2,237,681 or 520%. This increase is primarily due to increased legal fees and stock-based compensation.

 

Our selling, general and administrative expenses may fluctuate due to a variety of factors, including, but not limited to:

 

 

Additional infrastructure needed to support the expanded commercialization of our ConsERV and Aqualyte products and/or new product applications of our polymer technology for, among other things, administrative personnel, physical space, marketing and channel support and information technology;

 

 

 

 

The issuance and recognition of expenses related to fair value of new share-based awards, which is based on various assumptions including, among other things, the volatility of our stock price; and

 

 

 

 

Additional expenses because of being an SEC reporting company, including, but not limited to, director and officer insurance, director fees, SEC compliance expenses, transfer agent fees, additional staffing, professional fees, and similar expenses.

 

We continue to focus on decreasing selling, general and administrative expenses for all our product efforts.

 

Other Income (Expense)

 

Other expense for the three months ended September 30, 2023, and 2022, was $550,833 and $675,946, a decrease of $125,113 or 19%. The decreased net other expense is primarily due to decreased interest expense in the three months ended September 30, 2023.

 

Net Income (Loss)

 

Net loss was $2,960,802 and $1,068,608 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, and 2022. The increased loss in the three months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to the increased selling, general, and administrative expense.

Revenue

 

We generate our revenues primarily from the sale of our ConsERV cores and systems and Aqualyte membrane. Product sales were $1,336,661 and $653,288 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, and 2022, respectively, an increase of $683,373 or 105%. The increase in revenue was driven by an increase in ConsERV core and system sales, and a custom project. We are focusing on creating sustainable revenues with Aqualyte and ConsERV core and system sales with the expectation that this will continue to allow for growth in 2023 and beyond.

 

Revenues from royalty and license fees were $37,500 and $37,500 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

 

Cost of sales

 

Our cost of sales consists primarily of materials (including freight), direct labor, and outsourced manufacturing expenses incurred to produce our ConsERV cores and systems and Aqualyte nanomaterial. Cost of goods sold were $933,258 and $610,859 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 respectively, an increase of $322,399 or 53%. This increase in cost of goods sold reflects our increased product sales.

 

We are dependent on third parties to manufacture the key components needed for our nano-structured based materials and some portion of the value-added products made with these materials. Accordingly, a supplier’s failure to supply components in a timely manner, or to supply components that meet our quality, quantity and cost requirements or technical specifications, or the inability to obtain alternative sources of these components on a timely basis or on acceptable terms, would create delays in production of our products and/or increase the unit costs of production. Certain of the components or the processes of our suppliers are proprietary. If we were ever required to replace any of our suppliers, we should be able to obtain comparable components from alternative suppliers at comparable costs, but this would create a delay in production.

 

Gross margin

 

Gross margin from the sales of products was $440,903 and $79,929 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, and 2022 respectively, representing 32% and 12% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, and 2022.

 

We believe there are continuing issues relating to the cost of components and related shipping as supply-chain related challenges force changes in pricing of certain components. We continue to address these issues by closely tracking production costs and adjusting the prices for our ConsERV product line while continuing to work within our supply chain to reduce these costs.

 

Research and development costs

 

Expenditures for research and development are expensed as incurred. We incurred research and development costs of $307,894 and $212,508 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, and 2022, an increase of $95,386 or 45%. We account for proceeds received from government funding for research and development as a reduction in research and development costs. We recorded proceeds against research and development expenses on the Statements of Operations of $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, and 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company generated a net loss of $5,931,924 and has incurred significant losses since inception. As of September 30, 2023, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $68,206,589, total stockholders’ deficit of $14,476,479, negative working capital of $14,509,449 and cash and cash equivalents of $19,511. The Company used $1,191,075 and $1,389,768 of cash for operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, and 2022, respectively, which was funded primarily by proceeds from loans from related parties and others. There is no assurance that any such financing will be available in the future. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company is currently pursuing the following sources of short and long-term working capital:

 

 

1.

The Company guided by its Financial Advisors is actively working with targeted third parties who have or are interested in licensing, purchasing the rights to, or establishing a joint venture to commercialize applications of the Company’s technology;

 

 

 

 

2.

The Company continues to seek capital from key strategic and/or government (grant) related sources. These sources may, pursuant to any agreements that may be developed in conjunction with such funding, assist in the product definition and design, roll-out, and channel penetration of products;

 

 

 

 

3.

The Company is actively working with newer investors, private equity companies, purchase order financing parties, and its existing debt holders to restructure its existing debt and obtain short and long-term working and growth capital; and,

 

 

 

 

4.

The Company may license or sell an asset to fund its continued growth as it is clear to management the market for the Company’s product innovations has changed in a positive way as demonstrated by the interest the Company’s nano-material and applications in certain markets.

 

Management believes:

 

 

1.

The Company’s ability to solve continuing supply chain issues and raise sustainable growth capital will dictate future revenue and cash-flow for the Company. The quicker these issues are resolved we believe the faster the Company can participate in the market’s uptick momentum and follow the projected growth curve. These issues place heavy pressure on management to progress in key business areas being impacted. Continued supply chain impacts have roots in the funding challenges. The use of funds from affordable growth capital to resolve inventory levels of hard to acquire parts could be achieved within one quarter. Raising affordable capital is tied to addressing in a mutually agreeable manner with the Parties convertible debt transactions (recently found to be ‘criminally usurious - (Adar Bays, LLC v. GeneSYS ID, Inc.) used in the past to grow the Company with a plan to replace this convertible debt with lower cost funds. The Company has made progress yet still faces a worldwide public market in turmoil since February of 2022. In the intertest of expediting this situation, the Company is accelerating the use of its limited resources and is seeking to add affordable public, and non-public growth resources, and with Board approval, is seeking to monetize one asset via a license/supply agreement. Such a plan (monetize an asset) will require approval by the Company’s Senior Secured Noteholder.

 

 

 

 

2.

The Senior Secured Note Holder has advised Management it is exploring its options to resolve the long standing unpaid – and growing debt by the Company.

 

 

 

 

3.

Ventilation is regularly recommended as one of the solutions to Covid related mitigation and the market awareness for the ConsERV product(s) is increasing and lead activity is encouraging.

 

 

 

 

4.

We believe our current cash position and our projected ability to obtain additional sources of growth capital, and to generate sustainable cash flow from operations and investments into 2023 is improving yet remains challenged.

 

We believe the Company’s prospects to secure growth funding remain good. On a macro level we believe the world-wide market for the equipment type the Company is selling (and developing) has changed for the positive in the last two years reflecting end user awareness of the need to address Climate Change related issues faster, and the changes in buying habits forged by the world-wide pandemic. On more of a micro level the company has shown solid progress over the last three quarters, removed a serious impediment to growth by completing a ‘debt to equity’ program where the convertible noteholders debt positions were converted into equity (common stock and warrants). The company introduced a popular new line of our ConsERV equipment having improved performance and pricing to a growing independent sales channel throughout North America. We reached agreement (still moving to contract stage) in late 4Q 2022 between the company and its Senior Secured Note Holder (having deep rights with the assets of the Company which are pledged as security for repayment of the Note). The company is continuing to develop the basis of a long-term business relationship with a well-known, multi-national corporation interested in using the Company’s HVAC and water products for its own and third-party use.

 

There are no assurances we will be able to obtain the financing and planned product development commercialization. Accordingly, we may not have the ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Net cash used in operating activities was $1,191,075 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $1,389,768 for the same period in 2022. The decrease in net cash used was due to an increase in net loss (after adjusting for non-cash items) offset by an increase in cash from net working capital accounts. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, net loss (after adjusting for non-cash items) was $2,187,432. Accounts receivable, inventory and other assets together decreased by $30,505.

Net cash used in investing activities was $14,844 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $44,748 for the same period in 2022, driven by a decrease in patent costs and purchases of equipment in 2023.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was $1,198,018 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $812,650 for the same period in 2022. The increase is due to proceeds from notes payable and notes payable due to related parties.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and outside legal and accounting resources of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act)). Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective in alerting them in a timely manner to material information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed with the SEC as a result of limited resources, and a lack of segregation of duties.

 

During our most recent quarter, there has not been any change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
