Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2013
(Unaudited)

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K relating to Research Frontiers Incorporated (the “Company”) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.

Business

Research Frontiers Incorporated (“Research Frontiers” or the “Company”) operates in a single business segment which is engaged in the development and marketing of technology and devices to control the flow of light. Such devices, often referred to as “light valves” or suspended particle devices (SPDs), use colloidal particles that are either incorporated within a liquid suspension or a film, which is usually enclosed between two sheets of glass or plastic having transparent, electrically conductive coatings on the facing surfaces thereof. At least one of the two sheets is transparent. SPD technology, made possible by a flexible light-control film invented by Research Frontiers, allows the user to instantly and precisely control the shading of glass/plastic manually or automatically. SPD technology has numerous product applications, including: SPD-Smart™ windows, sunshades, skylights and interior partitions for homes and buildings; automotive windows; sunroofs, sun-visors, sunshades, rear-view mirrors, instrument panels and navigation systems; aircraft windows; eyewear products; and flat panel displays for electronic products. SPD-Smart light control film is now being developed for, or used in, architectural, automotive, marine, aerospace and appliance applications.

The Company has historically utilized its cash and the proceeds from the sale of its investments to fund its research and development of SPD light valves, for marketing initiatives, and for other working capital purposes. The Company’s working capital and capital requirements depend upon numerous factors, including the results of research and development activities, competitive and technological developments, the timing and cost of patent filings, and the development of new licensees and changes in the Company’s relationships with its existing licensees. The degree of dependence of the Company’s working capital requirements on each of the forgoing factors cannot be quantified; increased research and development activities and related costs would increase such requirements; the addition of new licensees may provide additional working capital or working capital requirements, and changes in relationships with existing licensees would have a favorable or negative impact depending on the nature of such changes. There can be no assurance that expenditures will not exceed the anticipated amounts or that additional financing, if required, will be available when needed or, if available, that its terms will be favorable or acceptable to the Company. Eventual success of the Company and generation of positive cash flow will be dependent upon the commercialization of products using the Company’s technology by the Company’s licensees and payments of continuing royalties on account thereof. To date, the Company has not generated sufficient revenue from its licensees to fund its operations.

5



Patent Costs

The Company expenses costs relating to the development or acquisition of patents due to the uncertainty of the recoverability of these items.

Revenue Recognition

The Company has entered into a number of license agreements covering its light-control technology. The Company receives minimum annual royalties under certain license agreements and records fee income on a ratable basis each quarter. In instances when sales of licensed products by its licensees exceed minimum annual royalties, the Company recognizes fee income as the amounts have been earned. Certain of the fees are accrued by, or paid to, the Company in advance of the period in which they are earned resulting in deferred revenue. Such excess amounts are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized into income in future periods as earned.

Fee Income

Fee income represents amounts earned by the Company under various license and other agreements relating to technology developed by the Company. During the first nine months of 2013 two licensees accounted for 10% or more of fee income of the Company; these licensees accounted for approximately 42% and 13% respectively of fee income recognized during this period. During the first nine months of 2012 one licensee accounted for 10% or more of fee income of the Company; this licensee accounted for approximately 68% of fee income recognized during such period.

Stock-Based Compensation

GAAP requires that all stock-based compensation be recognized as an expense in the financial statements and that such costs be measured at the fair value of the award.

The Company has in the past granted options/warrants to consultants. These options generally vest ratably over 24 to 60 months from the date of grant and the Company charges to operations quarterly the current market value of the options using the Black Scholes method. During the nine months of September 30, 2013 and 2012 a charge of $9,069 and $46,259, respectively, and during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 a (benefit) charge ($8,441) and $73,173, respectively, was recorded to operations reflecting the fair value of the options using the Black Scholes method with the following weighted average assumptions:

      2013       2012
Risk free interest rate 0.3% 0.3%
Expected Life of Options (maximum)   1.1 years   1.8 years
Volatility 40% 55%

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company granted 282,900 shares of restricted stock to its directors and employees. Directors received 91,500 of these shares of restricted common stock. All of the shares granted to the directors, as well as 3,400 shares granted to employees vested immediately upon grant. The remaining 188,000 shares vest ratably over the 36 months following grant. The market value per share on the date of grant was $3.70.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company granted 363,200 shares of restricted common stock to its directors and employees. Directors received 96,500 of these shares of restricted common stock. All of the shares granted to the directors, as well as 5,100 shares granted to employees, vested immediately upon grant. The remaining 261,600 shares vest ratably over the 36 months following grant. The market value per share on the date of grant was $3.38.

6



In connection with the restricted stock grants to employees and directors, the Company charged $190,576 and $132,645 to operations during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 respectively, and $922,864 and $741,279 was charged to operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The Company granted 80,200 fully vested options during 2013 and recorded share-based compensation of $173,120. The Company valued these 2013 grants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

                Risk free interest rate 0.8%
  Expected Life of Options (maximum) 5 years
Volatility 71%

As of September 30, 2013, remaining unamortized compensation costs in connection with these grants was $949,053 which will be recognized over the next 27 month period.

The Company granted no Employee options during 2012.

Income Taxes

Since inception, the Company has incurred losses from operations and as a result has not recorded income tax expense. Benefits related to net operating loss carryforwards and deferred items have been fully reserved since it was not more likely than not that the Company would achieve profitable operations.

The Company applied for state research and development refundable credits for the years ended December 31, 2006 through 2009. In April 2012, the Company received $613,397 relating to these credits for the years 2006 through 2009, which is reflected as income tax benefit in the accompanying statement of operations. The Company currently does not expect to collect additional credits for subsequent years. In addition, $61,340 is included in operating expenses on the statement of operation as of September 30, 2012 relating to professional fees paid in connection with securing these refundable credits.

Equity

The Company did not sell any equity securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company sold, pursuant to an effective registration statement filed with the SEC, equity in the Company as follows:

        Date       Shares Issued       Warrants Issued       Unit Price       Proceeds      
July 30, 2012 589,227 117,846 $      2.97 $      1,745,549  *

Treasury Stock

The Company did not repurchase any of its stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

Investments

The Company classifies investments in marketable securities as trading, available-for-sale or held-to-maturity at the time of purchase and periodically re-evaluates such classifications. Trading securities are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses included in earnings. Held-to-maturity securities are recorded at cost and are adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts over the life of the related security. Unrealized holding gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are excluded from earnings and are reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until realized. In determining realized gains and losses, the cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. Interest and dividends on the investments are accrued at the balance sheet date. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 all investments were classified as held to maturity and consisted of the following:

September 30, 2013 December 31, 2012
Certificates of Deposit Maturity Value of Held to Maturity Investments Value of Held to Maturity Investments
Investment       Date       (based on cost)       (based on cost)

Note Receivable from SPD Control Systems

On May 9, 2007, the Company began participating in the funding of the ongoing development of automotive controllers by SPD Control Systems Corp., a licensee of the Company. This development work is to produce the electronic controllers to operate SPD-Smart automotive windows and glass roof systems for one or more of the top five automotive makers in the world. The Company’s funding of this project was reflected in the form of a senior secured convertible promissory note (the “Note”) of SPD Control Systems Corp. held by Research Frontiers’ wholly-owned subsidiary, SPD Enterprises Inc. The note bore interest at 10% per annum, was secured by all of the assets (including intellectual property) of SPD Control Systems. The Note provided for funding of up to $150,000 by SPD Enterprises based upon the achievement of certain development milestones by SPD Control Systems. As part of a broader agreement between SPD Control Systems and the Company, effective as of May 9, 2010, the maturity date of this Note was extended to May 9, 2012 and the applicable conversion price for the Note was specified as $0.25 per share of SPD Control Systems stock through May 9, 2012 and $0.10 per share thereafter. On March 30, 2012 SPD Control Systems paid Research Frontiers $224,903 in full payment of the principal and accrued interest on the note.

Fair Value Measurements

We value financial instruments using a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

Financial assets accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2013 include cash and cash equivalents of approximately $6.1 million. These assets are carried at fair value based on quoted market prices for identical securities (Level 1 inputs).

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Critical Accounting Policies

The following accounting policies are important to understanding our financial condition and results of operations and should be read as an integral part of the discussion and analysis of the results of our operations and financial position. For additional accounting policies, see note 2 to our consolidated financial statements, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in our Form 10-K report for the period ending December 31, 2012. The Company has entered into a number of license agreements covering potential products using the Company’s SPD technology. The Company receives fees and minimum annual royalties under certain license agreements and records fee income on a ratable basis each quarter. In instances when sales of licensed products by its licensees exceed minimum annual royalties, the Company recognizes fee income as the amounts have been earned. Certain of the fees are accrued by, or paid to, the Company in advance of the period in which they are earned resulting in deferred revenue.

The Company expenses costs relating to the development or acquisition of patents due to the uncertainty of the recoverability of these items. All of our research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred. Our research and development expenses consist of costs incurred for internal and external research and development. These costs include direct and indirect overhead expenses.

The Company has historically used the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the estimated fair value of each option grant. The Black-Scholes model includes assumptions regarding dividend yields, expected volatility, expected lives, and risk-free interest rates. These assumptions reflect our best estimates, but these items involve uncertainties based on market conditions generally outside of our control. As a result, if other assumptions had been used in the current period, stock-based compensation expense could have been materially impacted. Furthermore, if management uses different assumptions in future periods, stock-based compensation expense could be materially impacted in future years. On occasion, the Company may issue to consultants either options or warrants to purchase shares of common stock of the Company at specified share prices. These options or warrants may vest based upon specific services being performed or performance criteria being met. In accounting for equity instruments that are issued to other than employees for acquiring, or in conjunction with selling, goods or services, the Company would be required to record consulting expenses based upon the fair value of such options or warrants on the earlier of the service period or the period that such options or warrants vest as determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires 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, and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. An example of a critical estimate is the full valuation allowance for deferred taxes that was recorded based on the uncertainty that such tax benefits will be realized in future periods.

Results of Operations

Nine months ended September 30, 2013 Compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012

The majority of the Company’s fee income comes from the activities of several licensees participating in the automotive market. The Company currently believes that the automotive market will be the largest source of its royalty income over the next several years. The Company’s royalty income from this market may be influenced by numerous factors including various trends affecting demand in the automotive industry and the rate of introduction of new technology in OEM product lines. In addition to these macro factors, the Company’s royalty income from the automotive market could also be influenced by specific factors such as whether the Company’s SPD-SmartGlass technology appears as standard equipment or as an option on a particular vehicle, the number of additional vehicle models that SPD-SmartGlass appears on, the size of each window on an vehicle and the number of windows on a vehicle that use SPD-SmartGlass, fluctuations in the total number of vehicles produced by a manufacturer, and in the percentage of cars within model like produced with SPD-SmartGlass, and changes in pricing or exchange rates.

The Company’s fee income from licensing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 increased 24% to $1,735,767, as compared to $1,405,292 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Most of the increase in fee income during this period was a result of higher product sales and minimum annual royalty and other payments from licensees in the automotive market. Certain license fees, which are paid to the Company in advance of the accounting period in which they are earned resulting in the recognition of deferred revenue for the current accounting period, which will be recognized as fee income in future periods. Also, licensees may offset some or all of their royalty payments on sales of licensed products for a given period by applying these advance payments towards such earned royalty payments. Because the Company’s license agreements typically provide for the payment of royalties by a licensee on product sales within 45 days after the end of the quarter in which a sale of a licensed product occurs (with some of the Company’s more recent license agreements providing for payments on a monthly basis), and because of the time period which typically will elapse between a customer order and the sale of the licensed product and installation in a home, office building, automobile, aircraft, boat or any other product, there could be a delay between when economic activity between a licensee and its customer occurs and when the Company gets paid its royalty resulting from such activity.

Operating expenses increased by $273,541 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to $3,537,432 from $3,263,891 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. This increase was principally the result of higher non-cash compensation charges related to common stock and option grants to employees ($205,000), patent costs ($66,000).

Research and development expenditures increased by $216,726 to $1,455,490 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from $1,238,764 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. This increase was principally the result of higher payroll and related costs ($196,000) as well as higher materials and project costs ($39,000) partially offset by lower allocated insurance costs ($32,000). Included in research and development expenses are approximately $264,000 and $109,000 of non-cash compensation charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The Company’s net investment income for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $28,537 as compared to $24,631 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The difference was primarily due to interest from higher cash balances available for investment partially offset the interest on the Note from SPD Control Systems which was collected at the end of March 2012.

No income tax benefit or expense was recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $613,397 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. This benefit results from state research and development refundable credits that the Company applied for related to the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2009. The Company does not currently expect to collect additional credits.

As a consequence of the factors discussed above, the Company's net loss was $3,228,618 ($0.14 per common share) for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to $2,459,335 ($0.13 per common share) for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

10



Three months ended September 30, 2013 Compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012

The Company’s fee income from licensing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2013 increased 7% or $34,806 to $506,692 from $471,886 for the three months ended September 30, 2012. Most of the increase was due to higher royalties from automotive, aerospace and architectural licensees.

Operating expenses increased by $20,890 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 to $951,410 from $972,300 for the three months ended September 30, 2012. This increase was principally the result of higher payroll and related costs ($27,000), plus higher patent costs ($24,000) partially offset by lower director’s expenses ($20,000). Included in operating expenses are approximately $141,000 and $172,000 of non-cash compensation charges for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectfully, relating to common stock and options granted to directors, employees and consultants.

Research and development expenditures increased by $55,391 to $424,765 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 from $369,374 for the three months ended September 30, 2012. This increase was principally the result of higher payroll and related costs ($53,000) materials and project costs ($15,000) partially offset by lower allocated insurance costs ($21,000). Included in research and development expenses are approximately $41,000 and $34,000 of non-cash compensation charges for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The Company’s net investment income for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was $9,529 as compared to $3,324 for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The difference was primarily due to interest from higher cash balances available for investment.

No income tax benefit or expense was recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2013 or 2012 as a result of losses incurred in both periods.

As a consequence of the factors discussed above, the Company's net loss was $859,954 ($0.04 per common share) for the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to $866,464 ($0.04 per common share) for the three months ended September 30, 2012.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has primarily utilized its cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments, and the proceeds from its investments to fund its research and development, for marketing initiatives, and for other working capital purposes. The Company’s working capital and capital requirements depend upon numerous factors, including, but not limited to, the results of research and development activities, competitive and technological developments, the timing and costs of patent filings, and the development of new licensees and changes in the Company’s relationship with existing licensees. The degree of dependence of the Company’s working capital requirements on each of the foregoing factors cannot be quantified; increased research and development activities and related costs would increase such requirements; the addition of new licensees may provide additional working capital or working capital requirements, and changes in relationships with existing licensees would have a favorable or negative impact depending upon the nature of such changes.

During the first nine months of 2013, the Company's cash and cash equivalents balance decreased by $2,282,688 principally as a result of cash used for operations of $2,231,614 as well as the purchase of fixed assets of $44,539. At September 30, 2013, the Company had working capital of $11,950,899 and total shareholders’ equity of $12,043,625.

The Company expects to use its cash to fund its research and development of SPD light valves, its expanded marketing initiatives, and for other working capital purposes. The Company’s working capital and capital requirements depend upon numerous factors, including the results of research and development activities, competitive and technological developments, the timing and cost of patent filings, the development of new licensees and changes in the Company’s relationships with its existing licensees. The degree of dependence of the Company’s working capital requirements on each of the foregoing factors cannot be quantified; increased research and development activities and related costs would increase such requirements; the addition of new licensees may provide additional working capital or working capital requirements, and changes in relationships with existing licensees would have a favorable or negative impact depending upon the nature of such changes. Based upon existing levels of cash expenditures, existing cash reserves and budgeted revenues, the Company believes that it would not require additional funding for the foreseeable future. There can be no assurance that expenditures will not exceed the anticipated amounts or that additional financing, if required, will be available when needed or, if available, that its terms will be favorable or acceptable to the Company. Eventual success of the Company and generation of positive cash flow will be dependent upon the extent of commercialization of products using the Company’s technology by the Company’s licensees and payments of continuing royalties on account thereof. To date the Company has not generated sufficient revenue from its licensees to fund its operations.
