−Removed: SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
−Removed: MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
−Removed: following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere
−Removed: in this report and the “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”
−Removed: Technologies, Inc.
−Removed: (the “Company”
−Removed: or “Novint”) was originally incorporated in the State of New Mexico
−Removed: in April 1999.
−Removed: On February 26, 2002, the Company changed its state of incorporation to Delaware by merging with Novint Technologies,
−Removed: Inc., a Delaware corporation.
−Removed: This merger was accounted for as a reorganization of the Company.
−Removed: Company currently is engaged in the development and sale of 3D haptics products and equipment.
−Removed: Haptics refers to one’s sense
−Removed: The Company’s focus is in the consumer interactive computer gaming market, but the Company also does project work
−Removed: in other areas.
−Removed: The Company’s operations are based in New Mexico with sales of its haptics products primarily to consumers
−Removed: through retail outlets.
−Removed: the earlier years of Novint, the Company sold its products primarily to consumers and through the retail channels.
−Removed: team came on to try to save the Company in 2013, the Company continued to sell individual units to consumers through the Novint
−Removed: online store in an effort to capture a larger percentage of the sale rather than go through distribution.
−Removed: As the same time, the
−Removed: Company adopted a new strategy of trying to sell Falcons to more professional users, small developers and institutions such as
−Removed: schools, which were more likely to make purchases of multiple units at a time and create more near-term revenue for the Company
−Removed: considering the extremely limited cash resources of the Company at the time.
−Removed: This shift in strategy was somewhat successful as
−Removed: evidenced by the higher level of sales during the next few years.
−Removed: In 2017, the Company shifted strategy to try to partner with
−Removed: one or more larger OEMs in the gaming space that could help introduce either the existing Falcon, a cost reduced version of the
−Removed: Falcon and/or the Xio controller that was in development.
−Removed: There has been significant interest and testing from two well-known
−Removed: OEMs in the gaming space but the process with large OEMs is an extremely strenuous and long process and there can be no assurances
−Removed: that the Company will be able to successfully conclude a partnering arrangement.
−Removed: ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
−Removed: of Estimates and Assumptions
−Removed: preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
−Removed: requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure
−Removed: of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
−Removed: during the reporting period.
−Removed: The most significant estimates and assumptions made in the preparation of the financial statements
−Removed: relate to accrued royalties and contingent consideration.
−Removed: Actual results could differ from those estimates.
−Removed: and Cash Equivalents
−Removed: Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
−Removed: Company maintains cash balances at financial institutions that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”)
−Removed: up to federally insured limits.
−Removed: At times, balances may exceed FDIC insured limits.
−Removed: The Company has not experienced any losses
−Removed: in such accounts.
−Removed: and Cost Recognition
−Removed: May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)
−Removed: 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), and has since issued amendments thereto (collectively referred
−Removed: to as “ASC 606”).
−Removed: The core principle of ASC 606 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer
−Removed: of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled
−Removed: in exchange for those goods or services, and the guidance defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle.
−Removed: The five-step
−Removed: process to achieve this principle is as follows:
−Removed: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations
−Removed: in the contract(s), (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations
−Removed: in the contract(s), and (v) recognize revenue when, or as, the entity satisfies a performance obligation.
−Removed: ASC 606 also mandates
−Removed: additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows arising from customer contracts,
−Removed: including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract.
−Removed: from product sales relates to the sale of the Falcon haptics interface, which is a human-computer user interface (the “Falcon”)
−Removed: and related accessories.
−Removed: The Falcon allows the user to experience the sense of touch when using a computer, while holding its
−Removed: interchangeable handle.
−Removed: The Falcons are manufactured by an unrelated party.
−Removed: Revenue from product sales is recognized when the
−Removed: products are shipped to the customer and the Company has earned the right to receive and retain reasonable assured payments for
−Removed: the products sold and delivered.
−Removed: Consequently, if all these revenue from product sales requirements are not met, such sales will
−Removed: be recorded as deferred revenue until such time as all revenue recognition requirements are met.
−Removed: Company accounts for its income taxes under the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes”.
−Removed: The method of accounting
−Removed: for income taxes under ASC 740 is an asset and liability method which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities
−Removed: for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns.
−Removed: method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets
−Removed: and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.
−Removed: assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will
−Removed: not be realized.
−Removed: Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income
−Removed: in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
−Removed: The effect on deferred tax assets and
−Removed: liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the Statements of Operations in the period that includes the enactment date.
−Removed: Value of Financial Instruments
−Removed: Company follows the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)
−Removed: for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and to measure the fair value of its financial instruments.
−Removed: FASB ASC establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into
−Removed: three broad levels.
−Removed: The three levels of fair value hierarchy are described below:
−Removed: Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
−Removed: as of the reporting date.
−Removed: Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1,
−Removed: which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.
−Removed: Pricing inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market
−Removed: assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or
−Removed: similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.
−Removed: carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, including cash, inventory, prepaid expenses, accounts
−Removed: payable, accrued expenses, payroll and related liabilities, and advances approximate their fair values because of the short maturity
−Removed: of these instruments.
−Removed: OF OPERATIONS
−Removed: Ended December 31, 2020 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2019
−Removed: During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company earned revenue of $1,000 through sales of its Falcon 3D Touch Haptic Controller
−Removed: (the “Falcon”).
−Removed: There were no revenues for the year ended December 31, 2019.
−Removed: GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.
−Removed: Selling, general and administrative expenses and professional fees for the year ended December
−Removed: 31, 2020 and 2019, were $168,707 and $133,863, respectively, an increase of $34,844 or 26%.
−Removed: The increase was primarily due to
−Removed: an increase in legal fees of $26,263 due to regular filings with SEC.
−Removed: Other expenses for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, were $279 and $239, respectively, an increase of $40 or

−Removed: Our net loss may fluctuate

−Removed: losses and at December 31, 2020, had an accumulated deficit of $41,454,121 and a working capital deficit of $374,597 and for the
−Removed: year ended December 31, 2020, the Company sustained a net loss of $167,986.
−Removed: In the opinion of management, these factors, among
−Removed: others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
−Removed: The Company’s continuation as a going
−Removed: concern is contingent upon its ability to obtain additional financing and to generate revenue and cash flow to meet its obligations
−Removed: on a timely basis.
−Removed: Management intends to source new inventory and generate revenue.
−Removed: The Company will continue to seek to raise
−Removed: additional funding through debt or equity financing during the next twelve months.
−Removed: While the Company believes in the viability
−Removed: of its strategy to generate revenues and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect.

−Removed: of liabilities in the normal course of business.

−Removed: Our cash flow from operating activities for the fiscal year ended
