UNIVERSAL DISPLAY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

1.

BACKGROUND

Universal Display Corporation (the “Company”) is engaged in the research, development and commercialization of organic light emitting diode (“OLED”) technologies for use in a variety of flat panel display and other applications. The Company’s primary business strategy is to develop and license its proprietary OLED technologies to display manufacturers for use in these applications. Through internal research and development efforts and relationships with entities such as Princeton University, the University of Southern California (“USC”), University of Michigan and PPG Industries, Inc., the Company has established a significant portfolio of OLED technologies and associated intellectual property rights (Notes 3 and 5). The Company also develops and sells OLED materials to display manufacturers for evaluation and use in commercial display products.

The Company conducts a substantial portion of its OLED technology development activities at its technology development and transfer facility in Ewing, New Jersey. In December 2004, the Company acquired the entire 41,000 square foot building at which the facility is located. The Company recently completed an expansion of its operations into the entire building. The Company also leases 850 square feet of office space in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.

2.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Interim Financial Information

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of June 30, 2006, the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005. While management believes that the disclosures presented are adequate to make the information not misleading, these unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto in the Company’s latest year-end financial statements, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Management’s Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company classifies its existing marketable securities as available-for-sale. These securities are carried at fair market value, with unrealized gains and losses reported in shareholders’ equity as a component of other comprehensive loss. Gains or losses on securities sold are based on the specific identification method. The Company reported accumulated unrealized holding losses of $121,635 and $120,577 at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.

Inventory

Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined using the specific identification method.

Acquired technology is amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of ten years.

Net Loss Per Common Share

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per common share reflects the potential dilution from the exercise or conversion of securities into common stock. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the effects of the exercise of the combined outstanding stock options and warrants of 6,983,751and 8,993,379, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS as the impact would be antidilutive.

Research and Development

Expenditures for research and development are charged to operations as incurred.

Share-Based Payment Awards

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123R, Share-Based Payment, addresses all forms of share-based payment awards, including shares issued under employee stock purchase plans, stock options, restricted stock and stock appreciation rights. It requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees. The statement eliminates the intrinsic value-based method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations, that the Company used prior to 2006. The Company adopted SFAS No. 123R effective January 1, 2006 using the modified prospective method (Note 7).

The fair value of share-based awards is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model, which is the same model the Company used previously for valuing share-based awards for footnote disclosure purposes.

The fair value of share-based awards is recognized over the requisite service period, net of estimated forfeitures. The Company relies primarily upon historical experience to estimate expected forfeitures and recognizes compensation expense on a straight-line basis from the date of grant. The Company issues new shares upon exercise of stock options.

RESEARCH AND LICENSE AGREEMENTS WITH PRINCETON UNIVERSITY AND USC

Effective October 9, 1997, the Company entered into a Research Agreement with the Trustees of Princeton University to sponsor OLED technology research at Princeton University and, on a subcontractor basis, at the University of Southern California (“USC”). This Research Agreement (as amended, the “1997 Research Agreement”) had an original term of five years. Through the period ended July 31, 2002, the Company paid Princeton University $2,276,461 under the 1997 Research Agreement.

Back to Contents

In April 2002, the Company amended the 1997 Research Agreement with Princeton University providing, among other things, for an additional five-year term. Under the terms of this amendment, the Company is obligated to pay Princeton University up to $7,477,993 under the 1997 Research Agreement for the period from July 31, 2002 through July 31, 2007. Payments to Princeton University under this agreement are charged to research and development expenses when they become due. Through the period ended June 30, 2006, the Company has paid $3,063,904 under this agreement.

In January 2006, the Principal Investigator conducting research at Princeton University under the 1997 Research Agreement transferred to the University of Michigan (“Michigan”). As a result of this transfer, the Company has entered into a new Sponsored Research Agreement with USC to sponsor OLED technology research at USC and, on a subcontractor basis, Michigan. This new Research Agreement (the “2006 Research Agreement”) was effective as of May 1, 2006, and has a term of three years. Under the terms of the 2006 Research Agreement, the Company is obligated to pay USC up to $4,636,296 for the period from May 1, 2006 through April 30, 2009. Amounts paid to Princeton University under the 1997 Research Agreement offset any amounts the Company is obligated to pay USC under the 2006 Research Agreement. No payments were made to USC under this agreement through June 30, 2006.

Pursuant to a License Agreement between the Trustees of Princeton University and American Biomimetics Corporation (“ABC”) dated August 1, 1994 (as amended, the “1994 License Agreement”), Princeton University granted ABC a worldwide exclusive license, with rights to sublicense, to make, have made, use, lease and/or sell products and to practice processes based on certain patents and patent applications of Princeton University relating to OLED technology. ABC assigned its rights and obligations under the 1994 License Agreement to the Company in June 1995.

On October 9, 1997, the Company, Princeton University and USC entered into an Amended License Agreement that amended and restated the 1994 License Agreement (as amended, the “1997 Amended License Agreement”). Under the 1997 Amended License Agreement, Princeton University and USC granted the Company corresponding license rights with respect to patent applications and issued patents arising out of work performed by Princeton University and USC under the 1997 Research Agreement.

Under the 1997 Amended License Agreement with Princeton University and USC, the Company is required to pay Princeton University royalties for licensed products sold by the Company or its sublicensees. For licensed products sold by the Company, the Company is required to pay Princeton University 3% of the net sales price of these products. For licensed products sold by the Company’s sublicensees, the Company is required to pay Princeton University 3% of the revenues received by the Company from these sublicensees. These royalty rates are subject to renegotiation for products not reasonably conceivable as arising out of the 1997 Research Agreement if Princeton University reasonably determines that the royalty rates payable with respect to these products are not fair and competitive.

The Company is obligated under the 1997 Amended License Agreement to pay to Princeton University minimum annual royalties. The minimum royalty payment is $100,000 per year. The Company accrued $98,319 of royalty expense, in connection with the agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

The Company also is required under the 1997 Amended License Agreement to use commercially reasonable efforts to bring the licensed OLED technology to market. However, this requirement is deemed satisfied provided the Company performs its obligations under the 1997 Research Agreement and, when that agreement ends, the Company invests a minimum of $800,000 per year in research, development, commercialization or patenting efforts respecting the patent rights licensed to the Company.

In connection with entering into the 2006 Research Agreement, the Company amended the 1997 Amended License Agreement to include Michigan as a party to that agreement effective as of January 1, 2006. Under this amendment, Princeton University, USC and Michigan have granted the Company a worldwide exclusive license, with rights to sublicense, to make, have made, use, lease and/or sell products and to practice processes based on patent applications and issued patents arising out of work performed under the 2006 Research Agreement. The financial terms of the 1997 Amended License Agreement were not impacted by this amendment.

ACQUIRED TECHNOLOGY

On July 19, 2000, the Company, PD-LD, Inc. (“PD-LD”), its president Dr. Vladimir Ban and the Trustees of Princeton University entered into a Termination, Amendment and License Agreement whereby the Company acquired all PD-LD’s rights to certain issued and pending OLED technology patents in exchange for 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Pursuant to this transaction, these patents were included in the patent rights exclusively licensed to the Company under the 1997 Amended License Agreement. These patents had a fair value of $1,481,250 (Note 2) at the time of their acquisition.

On September 29, 2000, the Company entered into a License Agreement with Motorola, Inc. (“Motorola”). Pursuant to this agreement, the Company licensed from Motorola what are now 74 issued U.S. patents and corresponding foreign patents relating to OLED technologies. These patents expire between 2012 and 2018. The Company has the sole right to sublicense these patents to OLED manufacturers. As consideration for this license, the Company issued to Motorola 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (valued at $4,412,500) and 300,000 shares of the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (valued at $6,618,750). On October 6, 2004, all 300,000 shares of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock were converted into 418,916 shares of the Company’s common stock based on a specified conversion formula. As part of the original licensing transaction, the Company also issued to Motorola a warrant to purchase 150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $21.60 per share. This warrant became exercisable on September 29, 2001, and will remain exercisable until September 29, 2008. The warrant was recorded at a fair market value of $2,206,234 based on the Black- Scholes option-pricing model, and was recorded as a component of the cost of the acquired technology.

The Company also issued a warrant to an unaffiliated third party to acquire 150,000 shares of common stock as a finder’s fee in connection with the Motorola transaction. This warrant was granted with an exercise price of $21.60 per share and is exercisable immediately and will remain exercisable until September 29, 2007. This warrant was accounted for at its fair value based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model and $2,206,234 was recorded as a component of the cost of the acquired technology. The Company used the following assumptions in the Black-Scholes option pricing model for the 300,000 warrants issued in connection with this transaction: (1) 6.3% risk-free interest rate, (2) expected life of seven years, (3) 60% volatility and (4) zero expected dividend yield. In addition, the Company incurred $25,750 of direct cash transaction costs that have been included in the cost of the acquired technology. In total, the Company recorded an intangible asset of $15,469,468 for the technology acquired from Motorola (Note 2).

The Company is required under the License Agreement to pay Motorola based on gross revenues earned by the Company for its sales of OLED products or components, or from its sublicensees for their sales of OLED products or components, whether or not these products or components are based on inventions claimed in the patent rights licensed from Motorola. Moreover, the Company was required to pay Motorola minimum royalties of $150,000 for the two-year period ended on December 31, 2002, and $500,000 for the two-year period ended on December 31, 2004. The Company is also required to pay Motorola minimum royalties of $1,000,000 for the two-year period ending on December 31, 2006. All royalty payments may be made, at the Company’s discretion, in either all cash or up to 50% in shares of the Company’s common stock and the remainder in cash. The number of shares of common stock used to pay the stock portion of the royalty payment is equal to the amount to be paid in stock divided by the average daily closing price per share of the Company’s common stock over the 10 trading days ending two business days prior to the date the stock is issued.

For the two-year period ending on December 31, 2004, the Company issued to Motorola 35,516 shares of the Company’s common stock, valued at $249,997, and paid Motorola $250,003 in cash to satisfy the minimum royalty obligation of $500,000. Since the minimum royalty obligation exceeded actual royalties for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and for the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company accrued $250,000 and $500,000, respectively, in royalty expense.

EQUITY AND CASH COMPENSATION UNDER THE PPG AGREEMENTS

On October 1, 2000, the Company entered into a five-year Development and License Agreement (“Development Agreement”) and a seven-year Supply Agreement (“Supply Agreement”) with PPG Industries, Inc. (“PPG”). Under the Development Agreement, a team of PPG scientists and engineers assisted the Company in developing its proprietary OLED materials and supplied the Company with these materials for evaluation purposes. Under the Supply Agreement, PPG supplied the Company with its proprietary OLED materials that were intended for resale to customers for commercial purposes.

For the period from inception of the Development Agreement through December 2004, the Company issued shares of its common stock and warrants to acquire its common stock to PPG on an annual basis in consideration of the services provided under the agreement. The consideration to PPG for these services was determined by reference to an agreed-upon annual budget and was subject to adjustment based on costs actually incurred for work performed during the budget period. The specific number of shares of common stock and warrants issued to PPG was determined based on the average closing price of the Company’s common stock during a specified period prior to the start of the budget period. In January 2003, the Company and PPG amended the Development Agreement, providing for additional consideration to PPG for additional services to be provided under that agreement, which services were paid for in cash. All materials provided by PPG under the Supply Agreement were also paid for in cash.

In December 2004 and again in March 2005, the Company and PPG amended both the Development Agreement and the Supply Agreement to alter the charges and method of payment for services and materials provided by PPG under both agreements during 2005. Under the amended Development Agreement, the Company compensated PPG on a cost-plus basis for the services provided during each calendar quarter. The Company was required to pay for some of these services in cash and for other of the services in common stock. Payment for up to 50% of the remaining services was able to be paid, at the Company’s sole discretion, in cash or shares of common stock, with the balance payable in all cash. The actual number of shares of common stock issuable to PPG was determined based on the average closing price for the Company’s common stock during a specified period prior to the end of that quarter. If, however, this average closing price was less than $6.00, the Company was required to compensate PPG in all cash. The Company recorded these expenses to research and development as they were incurred. Under the amended Development Agreement, the Company was no longer required to issue warrants to PPG.

Under the amended Supply Agreement, the Company also compensated PPG on a cost-plus basis for services and materials provided during each calendar quarter of 2005. The Company was required to pay for all materials and for some of these services in cash. Payment for up to 50% of the remaining services was able to be paid, at the Company’s sole discretion, in cash or shares of common stock, with the balance payable in all cash. Again, the specific number of shares of common stock issuable to PPG was determined based on the average closing price for the Company’s common stock during a specified period prior to the end of that quarter. If, however, this average closing price was less than $6.00, the Company was required to compensate PPG in all cash.

On July 29, 2005, the Company entered into an OLED Materials Supply and Service Agreement with PPG. This Agreement superseded and replaced in their entireties the amended Development and Supply Agreements effective as of January 1, 2006, and extended the term of the Company’s existing relationship with PPG through December 31, 2008. Under the new agreement, PPG has continued to assist the Company in developing its proprietary OLED materials and supplying the Company with those materials for evaluation purposes and for resale to its customers. The financial terms of the new agreement are substantially similar to those of the amended Development and Supply Agreements, and include a requirement that the Company pay PPG in a combination of cash and the Company’s common stock.

On April 19, 2006, the Company issued 1,957 shares of common stock to PPG based on a final accounting for actual costs incurred by PPG under the Development Agreement for the year ended December 31, 2005. Accordingly, the Company accrued $22,515 of additional research and development expense as of December 31, 2005, based on the fair value of these additional shares as of the end of 2005.

On April 19, 2006 and April 20, 2005, the Company issued to PPG 121,141 and 207,893 shares of the Company’s common stock, respectively, as consideration for services provided by PPG under the applicable agreement(s) during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005. The Company recorded a charge of $1,656,791 and $1,758,432 to research and development expense, respectively, for these shares. The charges were determined based on the fair value of the Company’s common stock as of the end of each period. In addition, in October 2006, the Company will be required to issue an additional 3,660 shares of its common stock to PPG based on a final accounting for actual costs incurred by PPG under the amended Development Agreement for the six-month period ended June 30, 2006. Accordingly, the Company accrued $50,878 of additional research and development expense for the six-month period ended June 30, 2006. The Company also recorded $727,496 and $240,826 to research and development for the cash portion of the work performed by PPG during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Also, in accordance with the agreements with PPG, the Company is required to reimburse PPG for its raw materials and conversion costs for all development chemicals produced on behalf of the Company. The Company recorded $98,516 and $117,406 in research and development expenses related to these costs during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Through the end of 2006, the Company is required under its agreements with PPG to grant options to purchase the Company’s common stock to PPG employees performing development services for the Company, in a manner consistent with that for issuing options to its own employees. Subject to certain contingencies, these options vest one year following the date of grant and expire 10 years from the date of grant.

On December 30, 2005 and January 18, 2005, the Company granted to PPG employees performing development services under the Development Agreement options to purchase 31,500 and 30,500 shares, respectively, of the Company’s common stock at exercise prices of $10.51 and $8.14, respectively. In April 2006, the Company hired several PPG employees as full-time employees of the Company. As a result of these hirings, the Company accelerated the vesting of 18,500 of the options granted on December 30, 2005. Accordingly, the Company recorded $225,882 in research and development costs related to these options for the period ended June 30, 2006. The Company also recorded $72,428 in research and development costs for the remaining 13,000 options for the period ended June 30, 2006. During the period ended June 30, 2005, the Company recorded $126,234 in research and development costs related to the options granted on January 18, 2005.

The Company determined the fair value of the options earned during the periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: (1) risk free interest rate of 4.39-5.07% and 4.21%, respectively, (2) no expected dividend yield, (3) contractual life of 10 years and (4) expected volatility of 77.18-77.59% and 79.95%, respectively.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123R utilizing the modified prospective transition method. SFAS No. 123R requires employee stock options to be valued at fair value on the date of grant and charged to expense over the applicable vesting period. Under the modified prospective method, compensation expense is recognized for all share based payments issued on or after January 1, 2006, and for all share payments issued to employees prior to January 1, 2006 that remain unvested. In accordance with the modified prospective method, the consolidated financial statements for prior periods have not been restated to reflect, and do not include, the impact of SFAS No. 123R. The adoption of SFAS No. 123R did not change the Company’s accounting for share based payments issued to non-employees.

Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, the Company used the intrinsic value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” Under the intrinsic value method, no compensation expense was recognized in association with the Company’s stock awards. The following table illustrates the effect on net loss and net loss per share if the Company had applied SFAS No. 123R for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

Equity Compensation Plan

In 1995, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted a Stock Option Plan (the “1995 Plan”), under which options to purchase a maximum of 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were authorized to be granted at prices not less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of the grant, as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Through June 30, 2006, the Company’s shareholders have approved increases in the number of shares reserved for issuance under the 1995 Plan to 7,000,000, and have extended the term of the plan through 2015. The 1995 Plan was also amended and restated in 2003 and is now called the Equity Compensation Plan. The Equity Compensation Plan provides for the granting of incentive and nonqualified stock options, stock, stock appreciation rights and performance units to employees, directors and consultants of the Company. Stock options are exercisable over periods determined by the Compensation Committee, but for no longer than 10 years from the grant date.

SFAS No. 123R requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. In 2006 and 2005, the fair value of the grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model considers assumptions related to volatility, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. Expected volatility was based on the Company’s historical daily stock price volatility. The risk-free rate was based on the average U.S. Treasury security yields in the quarter of the grant. The dividend yield was based on historical information. The expected life was determined from historical information and management’s estimate. The Black-Scholes model incorporated exercise and post vesting forfeiture assumptions based on analysis of historical data. The following table provides the assumptions used in determining the fair value of the stock-based awards for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005, respectively:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes above.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT

CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This discussion and analysis contains some “forward-looking statements.” Forward-looking statements concern our possible or assumed future results of operations, including descriptions of our business strategies and customer relationships. These statements often include words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate,” “seek,” “will,” “may” or similar expressions. These statements are based on assumptions that we have made in light of our experience in the industry, as well as our perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors we believe are appropriate in these circumstances.

As you read and consider this discussion and analysis, you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. You should understand that these statements involve substantial risk and uncertainty and are not guarantees of future performance or results. They depend on many factors that are discussed further in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, as supplemented by any disclosures in Item 1A. of Part II below. Changes or developments in any of these areas could affect our financial results or results of operations, and could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated in the forward-looking statements.

All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report or the documents incorporated by reference, as the case may be. We do not undertake any duty to update any of these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this report or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

OVERVIEW

We are a leader in the research, development and commercialization of organic light emitting diode, or OLED, technologies for use in a variety of flat panel display and other applications. Since 1994, we have been exclusively engaged, and expect to continue to be exclusively engaged, in funding and performing research and development activities relating to OLED technologies and materials, and in attempting to commercialize these technologies and materials. Our revenues are generated through contract research, sales of development and commercial chemicals, technology development and evaluation agreements and license fees. In the future, we anticipate that the revenues from licensing our intellectual property will become a more significant part of our revenue stream.

Back to Contents

While we have made significant progress over the past few years developing and commercializing our family of OLED technologies (PHOLED™, TOLED™, FOLED™, etc.) we have incurred significant losses and will continue to do so until our OLED technologies become more widely adopted by flat panel display manufacturers. We have incurred losses since our inception, resulting in an accumulated deficit of $138,004,513 as of June 30, 2006.

We anticipate fluctuations in our annual and quarterly results of operations due to uncertainty regarding:

 

the timing of our receipt of license fees and fees for future technology development and evaluation;

 

the timing and volume of sales of our OLED materials for both commercial usage and evaluation purposes;

  the timing of our customers’ introduction and discontinuance of OLED products;

 

the timing and magnitude of expenditures we may incur in connection with our ongoing research and development activities;

and

 

the timing and financial consequences of our formation of new business relationships and alliances.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended June 30, 2006 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2005

We had a net loss of $4,312,651 (or $0.14 per diluted share) for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, compared to a net loss of $3,189,980 (or $0.11 per diluted share) for the same period in 2005. The increased loss was primarily due to an increase in total operating costs of $1,387,736.

Our revenues were $3,009,316 for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, compared to $3,011,995 for the same period in 2005.

Our commercial chemical and license fee revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 were $336,365 and $807,185, respectively, compared to $0 and $42,000, respectively, for the corresponding period in 2005. The increases were primarily due to the purchases of our proprietary PHOLED materials by a customer for use in active matrix OLED products intended for sale in Asia and Europe. However, we cannot accurately predict the timing and frequency of such purchases due to the early stage of the OLED industry, and these purchases are likely to end when the current product lifecycle is completed.

The license fee revenue for the period ended June 30, 2006 also included fees recorded as a result of the signing of a patent license agreement with Samsung SDI Co., Ltd. in April 2005 and a cross-license agreement executed with DuPont Displays, Inc. in December 2002. In connection with each of these agreements, we received upfront payments that have been classified as deferred royalties and deferred license fees. The deferred license fees are being recognized as license fee revenue over the life of the agreement with Samsung SDI and over 10 years with DuPont Displays, Inc.

We recognized $667,613 in technology development revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 in connection with four technology development and evaluation agreements entered into in 2005 and 2003, compared to $331,818 for the same period in 2005 in connection with two such agreements. The increase is due to the signing of three new technology development agreements in 2005. The amount and timing of our receipt of fees for technology development and evaluation services is difficult to predict due to the early stage of the OLED industry.

We earned $901,529 in contract research revenue from the U.S. government for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, compared to $1,514,325 for the same period in 2005. During the quarter ended June 30, 2005, we worked on 13 different contracts, six of which we continued to work on during 2006. In addition, we commenced work on three new contracts in the quarter ended June 30, 2006.

We earned $296,624 from sales of developmental chemicals in the quarter ended June 30, 2006, compared to $1,123,852 for the same period in 2005. The decrease was mainly due to a decreased volume of OLED materials purchased for evaluation by potential OLED display manufacturers, including our technology development and evaluation partners. We cannot accurately predict the timing and frequency of such purchases from customers due to the early stage of the OLED industry.

We incurred research and development expenses of $5,416,226 for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, compared to $4,552,047 for the same period in 2005. The increase was due mainly to increased costs relating to new personnel, and increased operating costs for our expanded facility offset to some extent by reductions in costs associated with our agreements with PPG Industries (see Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements) and patent costs.

General and administrative expenses were $2,234,535 for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, compared to $1,760,402 for the same period in 2005. The increase was mainly due to increased personnel and operating costs for our expanded facility.

Interest income increased to $544,626 for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, compared to $320,930 for the same period in 2005. This was the result of higher rates of return on our invested cash during the quarter compared to the same period in the prior year.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2006 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2005

We had a net loss of $7,834,691 (or $0.26 per diluted share) for the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to a net loss of $8,180,882 (or $0.29 per diluted share) for the same period in 2005. The decreased loss was primarily due to an increase in total revenue of $1,801,660 and an increase in interest income of $435,923, offset to some extent by an increase in total operating expenses of $1,974,411.

Our revenues were $6,280,722 for the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to $4,479,062 for the same period in 2005. The increase in revenue was primarily due to increased sales of commercial chemicals, recording of license fees associated with the sale of commercial materials and increased technology development revenue.

Our commercial chemical and license fee revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2006 were $734,844 and $1,738,031, respectively, compared to $31,395 and $115,255, respectively, for the corresponding period in 2005. The increases were primarily due to the purchases of our proprietary PHOLED materials by a customer for use in active matrix OLED products intended for sale in Asia and Europe. However, we cannot accurately predict the timing and frequency of such purchases due to the early stage of the OLED industry, and these purchases are likely to end when the current product lifecycle is completed.

The license fee revenue for the period ended June 30, 2006 also included fees recorded as a result of the signing of a patent license agreement with Samsung SDI Co., Ltd. in April 2005 and a cross-license agreement executed with DuPont Displays, Inc. in December 2002. In connection with each of these agreements, we received upfront payments that have been classified as deferred royalties and deferred license fees. The deferred license fees are being recognized as license fee revenue over the life of the agreement with Samsung SDI and over 10 years with DuPont Displays, Inc.

We recognized $1,397,727 in technology development revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2006 in connection with four technology development and evaluation agreements entered into in 2005 and 2003, compared to $581,818 for the same period in 2005 in connection with two such agreements. The increase is due to the signing of three new technology development agreements in 2005. The amount and timing of our receipt of fees for technology development and evaluation services is difficult to predict due to the early stage of the OLED industry.

We earned $1,437,590 in contract research revenue from the U.S. government for the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to $2,213,380 for the same period in 2005. During the quarter ended June 30, 2005, we worked on 13 different contracts, six of which we continued to work on during 2006. In addition, we commenced work on five new contracts in the six months ended June 30, 2006.

We earned $972,530 from sales of developmental chemicals in the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to $1,537,214 for the same period in 2005. The decrease was mainly due to a decreased volume of OLED materials purchased for evaluation by potential OLED display manufacturers, including our technology development and evaluation partners. We cannot accurately predict the timing and frequency of such purchases from customers due to the early stage of the OLED industry.

We incurred research and development expenses of $10,417,298 for the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to $9,157,372 for the same period in 2005. The increase was due mainly to increased costs relating to new personnel, increased operating costs for our expanded facility and increased costs associated with our agreements with PPG Industries (see Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements), offset to some extent by a reduction in patent costs.

General and administrative expenses were $4,232,227 for the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to $3,655,265 for the same period in 2005. The increase was mainly due to increased personnel and operating costs for our expanded facility.

Interest income increased to $1,019,016 for the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to $583,093 for the same period in 2005. This was the result of higher rates of return on our invested cash during the six months compared to the same period in 2005.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2006, we had cash and cash equivalents of $25,194,983, short-term investments of $21,078,855 and investments in certificates of deposit and other liquid instruments with an original maturity of more than one year of $1,557,707, for a total of $47,831,545. This compares to cash and cash equivalents of $30,654,249, short-term investments of $17,190,242 and investments in certificates of deposit and other liquid instruments with an original maturity of more than one year of $1,828,708, for a total of $49,673,199, as of December 31, 2005. The overall decrease in cash and cash equivalents and short-term and long-term investments of $1,841,654 was primarily due to cash usage for operating activities and purchases of equipment, offset to some extent by cash received from the exercise of common stock options and warrants.

Cash used in operating activities was $5,615,675 for the six months ended June 30, 2006, as compared to $1,984,586 for the same period in 2005. The increase in cash used in operations was mainly due to a reduction of $816,027 in deferred revenue and deferred license fees (which represents cash received in a prior period and recorded as revenue in the current period), an increase of $589,484 in accounts receivable, an increase of $203,435 in other current assets (which represents prepaid expenses) and a reduction of $275,592 in accounts payable and accrued expenses. The overall increase in cash used in investing activities was mainly due to the purchase of equipment as a result of the expansion of our facility. Cash used in operating and investing activities was offset by cash received from the exercise of common stock options and warrants in the amount of $5,273,300.

Back to Contents

Working capital increased to $39,917,124 as of June 30, 2006, from working capital of $38,347,913 as of December 31, 2005. The net increase was due primarily to a reduction in current liabilities during the quarter resulting from the payment of liabilities due on the final phase of construction on our facility in Ewing, New Jersey.

We anticipate, based on our internal forecasts and assumptions relating to our operations (including, among others, assumptions regarding our working capital requirements, the progress of our research and development efforts, the availability of sources of funding for our research and development work, and the timing and costs associated with the preparation, filing, prosecution, maintenance and enforcement of our patents and patent applications), that we have sufficient cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments to meet our obligations through at least the end of 2007.

We believe that potential additional financing sources for us include long-term and short-term borrowings, public and private sales of our equity and debt securities and the receipt of cash upon the exercise of warrants and options. We have an effective shelf registration statement that would enable us to offer, from time to time, up to $44,725,524 of our common stock, preferred stock and other securities, subject to market conditions and other factors.

It should be noted, however, that additional funding may be required in the future for research, development and commercialization of our OLED technologies and materials, to obtain and maintain patents respecting these technologies and materials, and for working capital and other purposes, the timing and amount of which are difficult to ascertain. There can be no assurance that additional funds will be available to us when needed, on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

Critical Accounting Policies

Refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 for a discussion of our critical accounting policies. There were no changes in critical accounting policies to date in 2006, other than the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, effective January 1, 2006 (See Note 7).

Contractual Obligations

Refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 for a discussion of our contractual obligations. There were no significant changes in contractual obligations to date in 2006, other than the 2006 Research Agreement discussed in Note 3.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 for a discussion of off-balance sheet arrangements. As of June 30, 2006, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We do not utilize financial instruments for trading purposes and hold no derivative financial instruments, other financial instruments or derivative commodity instruments that could expose us to significant market risk. Our primary market risk exposure with regard to financial instruments is to changes in interest rates, which would impact interest income earned on investments.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this report, are functioning effectively to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During our most recent fiscal quarter, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

In addition, the Principal Investigators will not collaborate with personnel outside of USC and Michigan in performing the Research without UDC’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to limit the freedom of USC or Michigan personnel who are not involved in performance of the Research from engaging in similar research activities independently under other grants, contracts or agreements with parties other than UDC.

Article 2       Principal Investigators

Performance of the Research by USC shall be directed by Professor Mark E. Thompson (the “ USC Principal Investigator ”), and through a subcontract with Michigan by Professor Stephen R. Forrest (the “ Michigan Principal Investigator ”) collectively with the USC Principal Investigator, (the “ Principal Investigators ”). The Principal Investigators shall coordinate their performance of the Research with Dr. Julia J. Brown or her designated replacement (the “ UDC Program Manager ”), who is responsible for overseeing the Research under this Agreement. The Principal Investigators shall devote appropriate proportions of their time and effort to performance of the Research and shall make themselves reasonably available for meetings and conferences with the UDC Program Manager in order to discuss the progress and results of the Research and any issues or concerns in relation thereto. Any replacement or temporary substitution for the Principal Investigators shall be subject to the prior approval of UDC, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.

Article 3       Period of Performance

The period for performance of the Research shall commence on the Effective Date, and shall continue for a period of three (3) years thereafter. At the end of such period, this Agreement shall expire unless extended upon the mutual written agreement of the parties.

Article 4       Reports and Other Deliverables

The Principal Investigators shall provide UDC with such written progress and other reports as are specified in the Work Plan and Appendix, or as may otherwise be reasonably requested by the UDC Program Manager in order to administer this Agreement. In addition, the Principal Investigators shall provide UDC with such other deliverables as are identified in the Work Plan and Appendix, if any, promptly upon their completion and in accordance with the schedule set forth therein.

Said efforts shall be the same as those the receiving party uses to protect its own similar confidential information, but in no case less than reasonable care. In addition, upon the disclosing party’s request, the receiving party shall return or destroy all of the disclosing party’s Confidential Information.

The receiving party shall not consider information disclosed to it by the disclosing party Confidential Information which: (a) is now public knowledge or subsequently becomes such through no breach of this Agreement; (b) is rightfully in the receiving party’s possession prior to the disclosing party’s disclosure as shown by written records; (c) is disclosed to the receiving party by an independent third party who, to the best of the receiving party’s knowledge, is not under an obligation of confidentiality for such information to the disclosing party; or (d) is independently developed by or for the receiving party without benefit of Confidential Information received from the disclosing party as shown by written records.

Each party acknowledges that the Confidential Information of the other party is owned solely by such party, and that the unauthorized disclosure of such information may cause irreparable harm and significant injury, the degree of which may be difficult to ascertain. Accordingly, each party agrees that the other party will have the right to seek an immediate injunction enjoining any breach of this Article 11, as well as, subject to Article 21 below, the right to pursue any and all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity for such breach.
