LIGHTSPACE CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2008
 
1. NATURE OF THE BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS

Lightspace Corporation (the “Company”, “Lightspace”, “we”, “our”, “us”), incorporated in August 2001 as a Delaware corporation, provides interactive lighting entertainment products to numerous industries including children play areas, retail stores, family entertainment centers, theme parks, fashion shows, nightclubs, special events, stage lighting & sound, health clubs and architectural lighting and design.

We are subject to certain risks common to technology-based companies in similar stages of development. Principal risks include uncertainty of growth in market acceptance for our products; dependence on advances in interactive digital environments; history of losses since inception; ability to remain competitive in response to new technologies; costs to defend, as well as risks of losing, patent and intellectual property rights; reliance on limited number of suppliers; reliance on outsourced manufacture of our products for quality control and product availability; ability to increase production capacity to meet demand for the our products; concentration of our operations in a limited number of facilities; uncertainty of demand for our products in certain markets; ability to manage growth effectively; dependence on key members of our management; limited experience in conducting operations internationally; and ability to obtain adequate capital to fund future operations.
 
We have incurred net operating losses and negative operating cash flows since inception. As of September 30, 2008, we had an accumulated retained earnings deficit of $16,156,990 and a stockholders’ deficit of $1,767,456. We have funded our operations through September 30, 2008 through the issuance of private and public placements of equity securities, borrowings from stockholders and others, and sales of Lightspace products. Our long-term success is dependent upon obtaining sufficient capital to fund operations and product development, bringing such products to the worldwide market, and obtaining sufficient sales volume to be profitable.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial statements at September 30, 2008 include the accounts of Lightspace Emagipix Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary, organized as of March 29, 2007. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. We have incurred a net loss from operations of $1,044,797 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. Further, we have accumulated net losses from operations of $16,156,990 as of September 30, 2008. Our cash balance at September 30, 2008 was $27,921. These factors, among others, indicate that there is substantial uncertainty that we will continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recovery of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

The statement of consolidated financial position as of September 30, 2008, the statements of consolidated operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, the statements of consolidated cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, and the statements of consolidated changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit) for the period from January 1, 2007 through September 30, 2008 are unaudited. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q. Such consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required for audited consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of our management, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as our annual audited consolidated financial statements and include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations, cash flows, and changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit) for the periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for any other interim period or any fiscal year.

LIGHTSPACE CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2008

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)

In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS 159”). Such Statement allows an entity to choose to measure certain financial instruments and liabilities at fair value. Subsequent measurements of these financial instruments and liabilities are to be recognized in the statement of operations. SFAS 159 was effective for the Company commencing January 1, 2008. The Company did not elect to remeasure any financial instruments or liabilities under the provisions of SFAS 159; and accordingly, the adoption of SFAS 159 did not have an impact on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Defining Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures with respect to measurement of fair value. SFAS 157 applies only under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS 157 was effective for the Company commencing January 1, 2008; however, the FASB has delayed the effective date until January 1, 2009 for certain nonfinancial assets and liabilities. The adoption of SFAS 157 on January 1, 2008 with respect to the Company’s financial assets and liabilities did not have an impact on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect at the date of the financial statements the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

3. RECOGNITION OF SALES

We recognize revenue from the sale of our entertainment systems when all of the following conditions have been met: (1) evidence exists of an arrangement with the customer, typically consisting of a purchase order or contract; (2) our products have been delivered and risk of loss has passed to the customer; (3) we have completed all of the necessary terms of the contract possibly including but not limited to, installation of the product and training; (4) the amount of revenue to which we are entitled is fixed or determinable; and (5) we believe it is probable that we will be able to collect the amount due from the customer. To the extent that one or more of these conditions has not been satisfied, we defer recognition of revenue. Revenue from maintenance contracts is recorded on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract. An allowance for uncollectible receivables is established by a charge to operations, when in our opinion, it is probable that the amount due will not be collected.

4. TECHNOLOGY ACQUISITION AND PRIVATE PLACEMENT OF SECURITIES

On March 29, 2007, Lightspace Emagipix Corporation (“LEC”), a newly formed, wholly-owned subsidiary of Lightspace Corporation, entered into an agreement with Illumination Design Works, Inc. to acquire the assets related to the in-process development technology emagipix, an interactive lighting technology that utilizes electroluminescent sheets. On April 30, 2007, LEC completed the acquisition of the emagipix technology. The purchase price for the emagipix technology consisted of $300,000 and the issuance of a $950,000 convertible term secured non-recourse note to Illumination Design Works, Inc. In connection with the acquisition, a former officer and co-founder of Lightspace Corporation and the principal owner of Illumination Design Works, Inc. re-commenced employment with us and was granted options to purchase 250,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.80 per share.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2008

4. TECHNOLOGY ACQUISITION AND PRIVATE PLACEMENT OF SECURITIES (continued)

The $950,000 convertible term secured non-recourse note bears interest at 5% per annum, payable yearly, and is due and payable on April 30, 2010. The note is secured by a pledge of 76% of the stock of LEC. The principal of the note is convertible at any time up and until April 30, 2010, at the option of the holder, into the common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $0.80 per share, the fair market value of the Company’s common stock at April 30, 2007. Upon the occurrence of certain defined events of default by the noteholder, the Company has the right to convert the note to common stock at the lower of the conversion price of $0.80 or current market price of the common stock.

The Company accounted for the acquisition of the emagipix technology as the acquisition of in process research and development and recorded a charge to operations on April 30, 2007 of $1,306,612, which included legal fees incurred in connection with the acquisition. The Company’s initial estimates that the cost to complete the development of the emagipix technology would be between $1.5 million and $2.0 million and that the technology would be commercially available within three years have been revised. The Company’s cash situation at December 31, 2007 and subsequent thereto has necessitated that development work of the emagipix technology be deferred until sufficient capital has been raised to fund the current operations of the Company and thereafter recommence the development efforts with respect to the emagipix technology.

On April 30, 2007 the Company closed a private placement of its equity units. The Company sold 586,173 units at the offering price of $6.40 per unit, resulting in aggregate proceeds to the Company of $3,751,507. After expenses of the sale of $311,507, the net proceeds to the Company were $3,440,000. Each equity unit consists of: (1) eight shares of common stock; (2) eight warrants to purchase a total of eight shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per warrant; (3) two warrants to purchase a total of two shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.25 per warrant; and (4) two warrants to purchase a total of two shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.63 per warrant. The sale of 586,173 units resulted in the issuance of: (1) 4,689,384 shares of common stock; (2) 4,689,384 warrants to purchase a total of 4,689,384 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per warrant; (3) 1,172,346 warrants to purchase a total of 1,172,346 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.25 per warrant; and (4) 1,172,346 warrants to purchase a total of 1,172,346 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.63 per warrant. The warrants are exercisable at the option of the holder at any time up until April 30, 2012, at which date the warrants expire. In the event of a division of the Company’s common stock, the warrants will be adjusted proportionately. The warrants have been classified permanently within stockholders’ equity, as upon exercise, the warrant holder can only receive the specified number of common shares.

In connection with the sale of the equity units, we paid Griffin Securities, Inc., the financial advisor for the private placement, a fee in the amount of $187,575 and issued to Griffin Securities a purchase warrant exercisable for 58,617 units, in the same form sold in the private placement, at an exercise price of $6.40 per unit.

The Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the private placement to complete the acquisition of the emagipix technology by the payment of the cash purchase price of $300,000. The balance of the net proceeds was used for general working capital purposes.

5. LOSS PER SHARE

Basic and diluted net loss per common share are calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share, since the effects of potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the calculation for all periods presented as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. Dilutive securities consist of common stock options, common stock warrants, and convertible debt.

6. STOCK OPTION BASED COMPENSATION

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, addresses accounting for stock-based compensation arrangements, including stock options and shares issued to employees and directors under various stock-based compensation arrangements. This statement requires that we use the fair value method, rather than the intrinsic-value method, to determine compensation expense for all stock-based arrangements. Under the fair value method, stock-based compensation expense is determined at the measurement date, which is generally the date of grant, as the aggregate amount by which the expected fair value of the equity security at the date of acquisition exceeds the exercise price to be paid. The resulting compensation expense, if any, is recognized for financial reporting over the term of vesting or performance. This statement was first effective for us on January 1, 2006 for all prospective stock option and share grants of stock-based compensation awards and modifications to all prior grants.

No stock options were granted in the nine month period ended September 30, 2008. In the year ended December 31, 2007, we granted to directors, officers and key employees 4,075,856 options to purchase 4,075,856 shares of common stock at an exercise prices ranging from $0.80 to $1.10 per share.

The provision for stock option-based compensation for the three month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 was $31,556 and $80,519, respectively. The provision for stock option-based compensation for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 was $82,883 and $127,928, respectively. We did not tax affect the provision for stock-based compensation due to our net operating loss carryforwards; accordingly, the net loss for the periods was directly increased by the amount of the provision for stock option-based compensation.

For all periods prior to January 1, 2006, we accounted for stock-based compensation arrangements with employees and directors utilizing the intrinsic-value method. Under this method, stock-based compensation expense was determined at the measurement date, which was generally the date of grant, as the aggregate amount by which the current market value of the equity security exceeds the exercise price to be paid. The resulting compensation expense, if any, was recognized for financial reporting over the term of vesting or performance. We have historically granted stock-based compensation awards to directors, officers and key employees at an exercise price equal to the current market value of our equity security at the date of grant. Accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized or will be recognized in the financial statements for stock-based compensation arrangements with directors, officers and key employees for option grants made prior to January 1, 2006.

Short term promissory note
On March 27, 2008 we received a $70,000 loan from two former directors and a stockholder. The directors’ notes bore interest rate at a 9% annual rate and the stockholder note was non-interest bearing. All three notes were due and payable on April 28, 2008. The loans were made in connection with a vendor lawsuit which was settled in March 2008. In April 2008, the short term notes were repaid.

Contingent promissory note
In connection with the securityholder debt and equity conversion on April 27, 2006, $237,381 in principal amount of existing notes held by the former CEO were converted into a $237,381 contingent promissory note. This note bears interest at an annual rate of 8% and is payable only if the Company achieves two consecutive quarters of positive EBITDA (i.e., earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), aggregating at least $1,000,000, or the Company raises in a registered public offering of equity cash proceeds of at least $10 million prior to December 31, 2008. If those conditions are not met by December 31, 2008, or the former CEO is found to be in breach of the terms of the severance agreement prior to such date, the note will not be payable. In addition, Lightspace issued to the former CEO warrants to purchase 361,252 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.80 per share. The warrants expire in five years, unless the terms for the payment of the contingent promissory note are not met; in such case, the warrants expire on March 31, 2009.

9. NOTES PAYABLE AND LONG TERM DEBT (continued)

Long term debt
As part of the acquisition of the emagipix in-process development technology, we issued a $950,000 convertible term secured non-recourse note to Illumination Design Works, Inc. upon the closing of the purchase on April 30, 2007. The $950,000 convertible term secured non-recourse note bears interest at 5% per annum, payable yearly, and is due and payable on April 30, 2010. The note is secured by a pledge of 76% of the stock of LEC. The principal of the note is convertible at any time up and until April 30, 2010, at the option of the holder, into the common stock of Lightspace Corporation at a conversion price of $0.80 per share. Upon the occurrence of certain defined events of default by the noteholder, Lightspace has the right to convert the note to common stock at the lower of the conversion price of $0.80 or current market price of the common stock.

The first annual payment of interest of $47,500 was due and payable on April 15, 2008. At September 30, 2008, Lightspace had made installment payments of $3,958 against the amount of interest due and is currently in arrears in the monthly installment payments. The non-payment of the total amount of yearly interest when due is defined as an event of default under the terms of the note. Upon an event of default, and after written notice of such event of default by the holder of the note, the holder may pursue remedies with respect to the collection of the principal of the note and unpaid interest. Such remedies are limited solely to the collateral security for the note, 76% of the stock of LEC. Lightspace has not received written notice of an event of default. In November 2008, Lightspace received notice from the holder of the note of its intention to exercise the option to convert the $950,000 principal balance of the note into the common stock of Lightspace at an exercise price of $0.80 per share (1,187,500 shares of Lightspace common stock). Upon conversion of the note, the collateral security for the note, 76% of the stock of LEC, will be voided. Lightspace and the holder of the note are negotiating payment terms for the remaining balance of interest due under the note.

10. COMMON STOCK

On April 30, 2007 the our stockholders approved resolutions to increase the authorized shares of our $0.0001 par value common stock to 75,000,000 authorized shares from 30,000,000 authorized shares to provide for the issuance of the equity units in the private placement that closed as of April 30, 2007.

11. STOCK INCENTIVE PLANS

In September 2005, our stockholders and Board of Directors approved the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2005 Stock Plan”). The 2005 Plan provides that the Board of Directors may grant up to 72,080 incentive stock options and/or nonqualified stock options to directors, officers, key employees and consultants. The 2005 Stock Plan provides that the exercise price of each option must be at least equal to the fair market value of the common stock at the date such option is granted. Options expire in ten years or less from the date of grant and vest over a period not to exceed four years. Concurrent with the adoption of the 2006 Stock Plan in June 2006, no additional options can be issued under the 2005 Stock Plan.
 
In June 2006, our stockholders and Board of Directors approved adoption of the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2006 Stock Plan”), pursuant to which up to 2,118,622 incentive stock options and/or nonqualified stock options may be granted to directors, officers, key employees and consultants.

The options vest ratably over a three year period and expire in ten years. We have reserved 4,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the 2007 Stock Plan.

On April 30, 2007 we closed the offering period for the private sale of equity units. We sold 586,173 units at the offering price of $6.40 per unit, resulting in gross proceeds of $3,751,507. The sale of 586,173 units and the issuance to the financial advisor of a unit purchase warrant exercisable for 58,617 units identical to the units sold in the private placement resulted in the issuance of: (1) 4,689,384 shares of common stock; (2) 468,936 unit warrants to purchase a total of 468,936 shares of common stock at an exercise price of

12. STOCK WARRANTS (continued)

$0.80 per warrant (3) 5,158,320 unit warrants to purchase a total of 5,158,320 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per warrant; (4) 1,289,580 unit warrants to purchase a total of 1,289,580 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.25 per warrant; and (5) 1,289,580 unit warrants to purchase a total of 1,289,580 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.63 per warrant. The unit warrants are exercisable at the option of the holder at any time up until April 30, 2012, at which date the warrants expire. In the event of a division of our common stock, the warrants will be adjusted proportionately. The warrants have been classified permanently within stockholders’ equity, as upon exercise, the warrant holder can only receive the specified number of common shares.

We entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the purchasers of the units, whereby we had agreed to file a registration statement, within 45 days of the closing, to register for resale the shares of common stock, warrants and shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the unit warrants, included in the units issued in the private placement to investors and the financial advisor. As of September 30, 2008, these securities have not been registered for resale.

At September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the weighted average exercise price of the common stock warrants outstanding was $1.24. At September 30, 2008, the common stock warrants had an average remaining life of approximately three and one half years.

13. INCOME TAXES

We have recorded no provisions or benefits for income taxes for any period presented due to the net operating losses incurred and the uncertainty as to the recovery of such net operating losses and other deferred tax assets as a reduction of possible future taxable income, if any.

At December 31, 2007, we had operating loss carryforwards of approximately $7,299,000 available to offset future taxable income for United States federal and state income tax purposes. At December 31, 2007, approximately $4,231,000 of the operating loss carryforwards were restricted as to yearly usage, as discussed hereafter. The United States federal tax operating loss carryforwards expire commencing in 2021 through 2027. The state tax operating loss carryforwards expire commencing in 2007 through 2012.

The deferred tax asset related to the operating loss carryforwards, tax credits and other items deductible against future taxable income was $3,314,458 at December 31, 2007. The Company has provided a valuation allowance at that date equal to the full amount of the deferred tax asset, and will continue to fully reserve the deferred tax asset until it can be ascertained that all or a portion of the asset will be realized.

Our ability to use the operating loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards to offset future taxable income is subject to restrictions enacted in the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986. These restrictions severely limit the future use of the loss carryforwards if certain ownership changes described in the code occur. The common stock ownership changes occurring as a result of the securityholder debt and equity conversion on April 27, 2006, the conversion of senior secured notes on May 3, 2006, and the private placement on April 30, 2007 have resulted in reductions and in limitations in the use of the operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The value of the operating loss carryforwards on April 30, 2007, $8,699,000, was reduced to $4,231,000. In future years, such reduced operating loss carryforwards of $4,231,000 can be used only to offset approximately $441,000 of taxable income per year, if any. We may use operating losses and tax credits generated subsequent to the date of the ownership change without limitation. Therefore, in future years, we may be required to pay income taxes even though significant operating loss and tax credit carryforwards exist.

14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Effective July 1, 2008, the Company entered into a triple net five-year lease for approximately 10,700 square feet to be used for office and manufacturing operations. The terms of this new lease provide for average annual base rental payments of approximately $102,000 per year. Concurrent with the signing of the new lease, the Company entered into a lease termination agreement with the former landlord for the approximate three remaining years under a five year lease agreement for office and manufacturing operations entered into effective May 1, 2006. Under this lease termination agreement, the Company settled all amounts due under the May 1, 2006 lease by a payment of $75,000. As a result of this lease termination agreement, a liability established to evenly spread monthly lease payments in the amount of $132,909 was no longer required and was reversed as an offset to rent expense effective June 30, 2008.

The Company leases its facilities and certain equipment under non-cancelable operating leases expiring through June 2013. Total rent expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 was $32,580, $129,179, $74,380 and $238,019, respectively.

On September 30, 2008, we had approximately $745,000 in purchase order commitments to our vendors. The majority of this amount is due to the manufacturer of our interactive tiles.

The net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 included a provision for compensation related to stock options in the amount of $127,928. Additionally, the net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 reflects the impact of staff reductions and other expense reductions affected during the first six months of 2008, discussed hereafter.
 
The revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was comprised of revenue from the sale of products, $1,652,072, and other revenue of $263,534, as represented by deferred maintenance revenue, sales of miscellaneous parts and other services. In the nine months ended September 30, 2008, there were forty-seven Lightspace Play new installation sites, six Lightspace Dance new installation sites and ten Lightspace Design new installation sites, representing 3,577 interactive tiles. The revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was comprised of revenue from the sale of products, $1,114,566, and other revenue of $68,887, as represented by deferred maintenance revenue, sales of miscellaneous parts and other services.

Our product backlog at September 30, 2008 was $233,816, representing 505 interactive tiles. We expect that this backlog will be installed at customer locations in the December 2008 quarter. Cancellation of a signed contract or order included in product backlog requires the consent of Lightspace.

Product Cost and Gross Margin

For the quarters ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, Lightspace recorded gross margins of $97,511, or 21%, and $17,826, or 5%, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, Lightspace recorded gross margins of $473,077, or 25%, and $233,609, or 20%, respectively. The product margin percentage improvement in the quarter and nine month period ended September 2008 is due to increase revenues in the 2008 periods where the fixed product cost is spread over more units and staff reductions and other expense reductions affected in the 2008 periods. Product margins in the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 were unfavorably impacted by $42,000 of provisions for obsolete tooling and disputed importation taxes. Product margins in the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 were unfavorably impacted by a provision of $21,192 for obsolete materials as a result of engineering design changes. Product cost includes the direct cost of materials, associated freight charges, and the allocated per unit cost of the contractor's manufacturing labor, overhead and profit associated with products sold. For the most part, these costs are variable and increase or decrease with volume. Product cost also includes our personnel and related expenses assigned to operations and customer service. These latter costs tend to be a fixed cost that decreases on a per unit basis as volume increases.

Technology Acquisition

On March 29, 2007, Lightspace Emagipix Corporation (“LEC”), a newly formed, wholly-owned subsidiary of Lightspace Corporation, entered into an agreement with Illumination Design Works, Inc. to acquire the assets related to the in-process development technology emagipix, an interactive lighting technology that utilizes electroluminescent sheets. On April 30, 2007, LEC completed the acquisition of the emagipix technology. The purchase price for the emagipix technology consisted of $300,000 and the issuance of a $950,000 convertible term secured non-recourse note to Illumination Design Works, Inc. In connection with the acquisition, a former officer and co-founder of Lightspace Corporation and the principal owner of Illumination Design Works, Inc. re-commenced employment with us and was granted options to purchase 250,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.80 per share.

The $950,000 convertible term secured non-recourse note bears interest at 5% per annum, payable yearly, and is due and payable on April 30, 2010. The note is secured by a pledge of 76% of the stock of LEC. The principal of the note is convertible at any time up and until April 30, 2011, at the option of the holder, into the common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $0.80 per share, the fair market value of the Company’s common stock at April 30, 2007. Upon the occurrence of certain defined events of default by the noteholder, the Company has the right to convert the note to common stock at the lower of the conversion price of $0.80 or current market price of the common stock.

The Company accounted for the acquisition of the emagipix technology as the acquisition of in process research and development and recorded a charge to operations in the June 30, 2007 quarter of $1,306,612, which included legal fees incurred in connection with the acquisition. The Company initial estimates that the cost to complete the development of the emagipix technology would be between $1.5 million and $2.0 million and that the technology would be commercially available within three years have been revised. The Company’s cash situation at December 31, 2007 and subsequent thereto has necessitated that development work of the emagipix technology be deferred until sufficient capital has been raised to fund the current operations of the Company and thereafter recommence the development efforts with respect to the emagipix technology.

Operating Expenses
 
  To conserve cash, Lightspace has undertaken significant staff reductions and other reductions in all departments. Staff levels, which were at twenty-five full-time employees at December 31, 2007, were reduced to six employees by June 30, 2008 and have remained at that level through September 30, 2008. Present staffing levels are as follows: operations 2; research and development 2; and administration 2. The financial impact of the reduced staff levels was not fully implemented until May of 2008; accordingly, fully reduced expense levels were not realized until the September 2008 quarter. Additionally, effective July 1, 2008, the Company entered into a triple net five-year lease for approximately 10,700 square feet to be used for office and manufacturing operations. Concurrent with the signing of the new lease, the Company entered into a lease termination agreement with the former landlord for the approximate three remaining years under a five year lease agreement for office and manufacturing operations entered into effective May 1, 2006. Under this lease termination agreement, the Company settled all amounts due under the May 1, 2006 lease by a payment of $75,000. As a result of this lease termination agreement, a liability established to evenly spread monthly lease payments in the amount of $132,909 was no longer required and was reversed as an offset to rent expense effective June 30, 2008. The first year base monthly rental payments under the new lease are $8,194 compared to monthly rent payments of $24,682 under the terminated lease.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2008, research and development spending was $78,735 compared to $280,645 for the quarter ended September 30, 2007. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 research and development spending was $542,213 as compared to $2,072,383 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The decreased 2008 research and development spending levels is primarily related to the acquisition of the Emagipix technology in April 2007 that required a valuation charge to research and development in the amount of $1,306,612 and to staff reductions that were affected in 2008. With the reduction of the research and development staff from nine employees to two employees during the first six months of 2008, research and development expenditures for the period from July through December of 2008 will be significantly less than the comparable period of 2007.
 
For the quarter ended September 30, 2008, sales and marketing expenditures were $16,867 as compared to $283,256 for the quarter ended September 30, 2007. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 sales and marketing expenditures were $375,762 as compared to $942,680 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The significant reduction in 2008 sales and marketing expenses is directly related to the reduction in sales and marketing staff. The sales and marketing staff of eight employees at December 31, 2007 has been eliminated. At September 30, 2008, the Company’s CEO and vice president of operations are maintaining the sales and marketing function, as the Company shifts to a distributor based sales organization from a Company based sales organization.
 
For the quarter ended September 30, 2008, administrative expenditures were $144,331 as compared to $315,861 for the quarter ended September 30, 2007. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 administrative expenditures were $515,058 as compared to $790,247 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The significant reduction in 2008 administrative expenses is directly related to the reduction in staff and other expense reductions. The administrative staff of four employees at December 31, 2007 had been reduced to two employees at June 30, 2008, and remained at that level through the September 2008 quarter.

Inflation

In the opinion of management, inflation has not had a material impact on our operations.

Net Interest Expense
 
Net interest expense was $28,464 for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 as compared to $15,257 for the quarter ended September 30, 2007. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2008, net interest expense was $84,841 as compared to $36,631 in the corresponding period of 2007. The increased net interest expense in the 2008 periods is due to the issuance in April 2007 of a $950,000 note in connection with the purchase of the emagipix technology.

Income Taxes

We have recorded no provisions or benefits for income taxes for any period presented due to the net operating losses incurred and the uncertainty as to the recovery of such net operating losses and other deferred tax assets as a reduction of possible future taxable income, if any.

At December 31, 2007, we had operating loss carryforwards of approximately $7,299,000 available to offset future taxable income for United States federal and state income tax purposes. At December 31, 2007, approximately $4,231,000 of the operating loss carryforwards were restricted as to yearly usage, as discussed hereafter. The United States federal tax operating loss carryforwards expire commencing in 2021 through 2027. The state tax operating loss carryforwards expire commencing in 2007 through 2012.

The deferred tax asset related to the operating loss carryforwards, tax credits and other items deductible against future taxable income was $3,314,458 at December 31, 2007. The Company has provided a valuation allowance at that date equal to the full amount of the deferred tax asset, and will continue to fully reserve the deferred tax asset until it can be ascertained that all or a portion of the asset will be realized.

Our ability to use the operating loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards to offset future taxable income is subject to restrictions enacted in the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986. These restrictions severely limit the future use of the loss carryforwards if certain ownership changes described in the code occur. The common stock ownership changes occurring as a result of the securityholder debt and equity conversion on April 27, 2006, the conversion of senior secured notes on May 3, 2006, and the private placement on April 30, 2007 have resulted in reductions and in limitations in the use of the operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The value of the operating loss carryforwards on April 30, 2007, $8,699,000, was reduced to $4,231,000. In future years, such reduced operating loss carryforwards of $4,231,000 can be used only to offset approximately $441,000 of taxable income per year, if any. We may use operating losses and tax credits generated subsequent to the date of the ownership change without limitation. Therefore, in future years, we may be required to pay income taxes even though significant operating loss and tax credit carryforwards exist.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Cash Flow

We have incurred net operating losses and negative operating cash flows since inception. As of September 30, 2008, we had an accumulated retained earnings deficit of $16,156,990 and a stockholders’ deficit of $1,767,456. We have funded our operations through September 30, 2008 through the issuance of private and public placements of equity securities, borrowings from stockholders and others, and sales of Lightspace products. Our long-term success is dependent upon obtaining sufficient capital to fund operations and product development, bringing such products to the worldwide market, and obtaining sufficient sales volume to be profitable. At September 30, 2008, the Company’s cash balance was $27,921. These factors, among others, indicate that there is substantial uncertainty that we will continue as a going concern.

As part of the acquisition of the emagipix in-process development technology, we issued a $950,000 convertible term secured non-recourse note to Illumination Design Works, Inc. upon the closing of the purchase on April 30, 2007. The $950,000 convertible term secured non-recourse note bears interest at 5% per annum, payable yearly, and is due and payable on April 30, 2010. The note is secured by a pledge of 76% of the stock of LEC. The principal of the note is convertible at any time up and until April 30, 2010, at the option of the holder, into the common stock of Lightspace Corporation at a conversion price of $0.80 per share. Upon the occurrence of certain defined events of default by the noteholder, Lightspace has the right to convert the note to common stock at the lower of the conversion price of $0.80 or current market price of the common stock.

20


The first annual payment of interest of $47,500 was due and payable on April 15, 2008. At September 30, 2008, Lightspace had made installment payments of $3,958 against the amount of interest due and is currently in arrears in the monthly installment payments. The non-payment of the total amount of yearly interest when due is defined as an event of default under the terms of the note. Upon an event of default, and after written notice of such event of default by the holder of the note, the holder may pursue remedies with respect to the collection of the principal of the note and unpaid interest. Such remedies are limited solely to the collateral security for the note, 76% of the stock of LEC. Lightspace has not received written notice of an event of default. In November 2008, Lightspace received notice from the holder of the note of its intention to exercise the option to convert the $950,000 principal balance of the note into the common stock of Lightspace at an exercise price of $0.80 per share (1,187,500 shares of Lightspace common stock). Upon conversion of the note, the collateral security for the note, 76% of the stock of LEC, will be voided. Lightspace and the holder of the note are negotiating payment terms for the remaining balance of interest due under the note.

On April 30, 2007 the Company closed a private placement of its equity units. The Company sold 586,173 units at the offering price of $6.40 per unit, resulting in aggregate proceeds to the Company of $3,751,507. After expenses of the offering of $311,507, the net proceeds to the Company were $3,440,000. Each equity unit consists of: (1) eight shares of common stock; (2) eight warrants to purchase a total of eight shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per warrant; (3) two warrants to purchase a total of two shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.25 per warrant; and (4) two warrants to purchase a total of two shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.63 per warrant. The sale of 586,173 units resulted in the issuance of: (1) 4,689,384 shares of common stock; (2) 4,689,384 warrants to purchase a total of 4,689,384 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per warrant; (3) 1,172,346 warrants to purchase a total of 1,172,346 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.25 per warrant; and (4) 1,172,346 warrants to purchase a total of 1,172,346 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.63 per warrant. In connection with the sale of the equity units, we paid Griffin Securities, Inc., the financial advisor for the private placement, a fee in the amount of $187,575 and issued to Griffin Securities a purchase warrant exercisable for 58,617 units, in the same form sold in the private placement, at an exercise price of $6.40 per unit.

The Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the private placement to complete the acquisition of the emagipix technology by the payment of the cash purchase price of $300,000. The balance of the net proceeds was used for general working capital purposes.

Manufacturing Operations

We currently contract for the production and assembly of interactive tiles from an independent manufacturing company and have had discussions with other contract manufacturers as secondary sources for the production and assembly of our interactive tiles. The current contract manufacturer is ISO certified and, to date, we have not experienced either quality or production difficulties.

Deferred Revenue and Backlog

Deferred revenue is represented by: (1) advance deposits received from customers for the future purchase and installation of a Lightspace system and (2) the balance of deferred maintenance revenue to be recognized as income over the remaining term of the maintenance contract. Our product backlog at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 was $233,816 and $96,280, respectively.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements other than normal lease arrangements.

Effective July 1, 2008, the Company entered into a triple net five-year lease for approximately 10,700 square feet to be used for office and manufacturing operations. The terms of this new lease provide for average annual base rental payments of approximately $102,000 per year. Concurrent with the signing of the new lease, the Company entered into a lease termination agreement with the former landlord for the approximate three remaining years under a five year lease agreement for office and manufacturing operations entered into effective May 1, 2006. Under this lease termination agreement, the Company settled all amounts due under the May 1, 2006 lease by a payment of $75,000. As a result of this lease termination agreement, a liability established to evenly spread monthly lease payments in the amount of $132,909 was no longer required and was reversed as an offset to rent expense effective June 30, 2008.

21



The Company leases its facilities and certain equipment under non-cancelable operating leases expiring through June 2013. Total rent expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 was $32,580, $129,179, $74,380 and $238,019, respectively.

On September 30, 2008, we had approximately $745,000 in purchase order commitments to our vendors. The majority of this amount is due to the manufacturer of our interactive tiles.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The consolidated financial statements of Lightspace are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These accounting principles require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. We are also required to make certain judgments that affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates and the process under which those estimates are formulated. We develop our estimates based upon historical experience as well as assumptions that are considered to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

We believe that the following critical accounting policies impact the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements:

Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of its entertainment systems when all of the following conditions have been met: (1) evidence exists of an arrangement with the customer, typically consisting of a purchase order or contract; (2) the Company’s products have been delivered and risk of loss has passed to the customer; (3) the Company has completed all of the necessary terms of the contract generally including but not limited to, installation of the product and training; (4) the amount of revenue to which the Company is entitled is fixed or determinable; and (5) the Company believes it is probable that it will be able to collect the amount due from the customer. To the extent that one or more of these conditions has not been satisfied, the Company defers recognition of revenue. Revenue from maintenance contracts is recorded on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract. An allowance for uncollectible receivables is established by a charge to operations, when in the opinion of the Company, it is probable that the amount due to the Company will not be collected.

Inventory
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value.

Warranty Reserve
The Company’s products are warranted against manufacturing defects for twelve months following the sale. Reserves for potential warranty claims are provided at the time of revenue recognition and are based on several factors including historical claims experience, current sales levels and the Company’s estimate of repair costs.

Stock-Based Compensation
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, addresses accounting for stock-based compensation arrangements, including stock options and shares issued to employees and directors under various stock-based compensation arrangements. This statement requires that the Company use the fair value method, rather than the intrinsic-value method, to determine compensation expense for all stock-based arrangements. Under the fair value method, stock-based compensation expense is determined at the measurement date, which is generally the date of grant, as the aggregate amount by which the expected future value of the equity security at the date of acquisition exceeds the exercise price to be paid. The resulting compensation expense, if any, is recognized for financial reporting over the term of vesting or performance. This statement was first effective for the Company on January 1, 2006 for all prospective stock option and share grants of stock-based compensation awards and modifications to all prior grants.

For all periods prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for stock-based compensation arrangements with employees and directors utilizing the intrinsic-value method. Under this method, stock-based compensation expense was determined at the measurement date, which again is generally the date of grant, as the aggregate amount by which the current market value of the equity security exceeds the exercise price to be paid. The resulting compensation expense, if any, is recognized for financial reporting over the term of vesting or performance. The Company has historically granted stock-based compensation awards to directors, officers and employees and directors at an exercise price equal to the current market value of the Company’s equity security at the date of grant. Accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized or will be recognized in the financial statements for stock-based compensation arrangements with directors, officers and employees for grants prior to January 1, 2006.

Stock-based compensation arrangements with nonemployees or associated with borrowing arrangements are accounted for utilizing the fair value method or, if a more reliable measurement, the value of the services or consideration received. The resulting compensation expense, if any, is recognized for financial reporting over the term of performance or borrowing arrangement.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Market risk represents the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates. We do not have any material exposure to interest rate risk. All of our products and services are denominated in United States dollars, as a result of which we are not exposed to foreign currency risk with respect to our accounts receivable. All materials and components that we buy for the manufacturing of our products are also priced in United States dollars. We also did not have any operations outside the United States. Accordingly, we do not have any material foreign currency risk at this time.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
 
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
 
The Company conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, we concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective, as of the end of the period covered by this report, to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that the information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Since April 16, 2008, the date that our Chief Financial Officer was released as a Lightspace employee, our Chief Executive Officer has been serving as both the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer (Chief Financial Officer).

(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting in connection with the evaluation required under paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings

In October 2007, we were served notice of a wrongful termination claim against us by a former employee. The former employee was seeking damages in the amount of lost compensation. We believed there was no merit to the lawsuit and intended to defend against it. However, to avoid the cost of protracted litigation, on April 4, 2008, we agreed to settle the former employee’s claim to the mutual satisfaction of all parties. The settlement of this litigation did not have a significant effect on the results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

In March 2008, we received a letter from a vendor claiming breach of contract and non-payment of bills due. As of March 28, 2008 approximately $76,000 was owed to this vendor. This amount was not in dispute. Additionally, the vendor claimed to have purchased approximately $36,000 in materials on our behalf which as of March 28, 2007, had not been invoiced to the Company. On March 28, 2007, the case was settled and we agreed to the payment of the $76,000 to be made by March 31, 2008. The additional $36,000 allegedly owed was settled for approximately $28,000. On March 28, 2007, the Company obtained short term loans due April 28, 2008 for $70,000 from a stockholder and two ex-directors, the proceeds of which were used in payment of the $76,000. The short term loans were repaid when due. The remaining balance due to the vendor in the approximate amount of $28,000 was paid prior to June 30, 2008.

During the normal course of business, we may at times be involved in disputes and/or litigation with respect to our products, operations or employees. We are not currently involved in any significant litigation.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes from the risk factors set forth on the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 1, 2008. Management urges you to consider the risks and uncertainties described in “Risk Factors” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

None

Item 3. Defaults upon Senior Securities

As part of the acquisition of the emagipix in-process development technology, we issued a $950,000 convertible term secured non-recourse note to Illumination Design Works, Inc. upon the closing of the purchase on April 30, 2007. The $950,000 convertible term secured non-recourse note bears interest at 5% per annum, payable yearly, and is due and payable on April 30, 2010. The note is secured by a pledge of 76% of the stock of LEC. The principal of the note is convertible at any time up and until April 30, 2010, at the option of the holder, into the common stock of Lightspace Corporation at a conversion price of $0.80 per share. Upon the occurrence of certain defined events of default by the noteholder, Lightspace has the right to convert the note to common stock at the lower of the conversion price of $0.80 or current market price of the common stock.

The first annual payment of interest of $47,500 was due and payable on April 15, 2008. At September 30, 2008, Lightspace had made installment payments of $3,958 against the amount of interest due and is currently in arrears in the monthly installment payments. The non-payment of the total amount of yearly interest when due is defined as an event of default under the terms of the note. Upon an event of default, and after written notice of such event of default by the holder of the note, the holder may pursue remedies with respect to the collection of the principal of the note and unpaid interest. Such remedies are limited solely to the collateral security for the note, 76% of the stock of LEC. Lightspace has not received written notice of an event of default. In November 2008, Lightspace received notice from the holder of the note of its intention to exercise the option to convert the $950,000 principal balance of the note into the common stock of Lightspace at an exercise price of $0.80 per share (1,187,500 shares of Lightspace common stock). Upon conversion of the note, the collateral security for the note, 76% of the stock of LEC, will be voided. Lightspace and the holder of the note are negotiating payment terms for the remaining balance of interest due under the note.
