PART I

ITEM 1.   BUSINESS

Overview
 
Document Capture Technologies, Inc. (referred to herein as "we", "us", "our", "DCT" or "Company"), a Delaware corporation, develops, designs and delivers various imaging technology solutions to all types and sizes of enterprises including governmental agencies, large corporations, small corporations, small office-home office (“SOHO”), professional practices as well as consumers (referred to herein collectively as “Enterprises”) . We are a market-leader in providing USB-powered scanning solutions to a wide variety of industries and market applications. Our patented and proprietary page-imaging devices facilitate the way information is stored, shared and managed in both business and personal use.
 
Syscan, Inc., our wholly-owned subsidiary, was incorporated in California in 1995 to develop and manufacture a new generation of contact image sensors (“CIS”) that are complementary metal-oxide-silicon (“CMOS”) imaging sensor devices. During the late 1990s, we established many technical milestones and were granted numerous patents for our linear imaging technology. Our patented CIS and mobile imaging scanner technology provides high quality images at extremely low power consumption levels, allowing us to deliver compact scanners in a form ideally suited for laptop or desktop computer users who need a small lightweight device to scan.

Our business model was developed and continues to evolve around intellectual property (“IP”) driven products sold primarily to original equipment manufacturers (“OEM”), private label brands and value added resellers (“VAR”). Our image scanning products can be found in a variety of applications, including but not limited to, the following:

 
·
Bank note and check verification (remote capture deposit or “RDC”);
 
·
Document and information management;
 
·
Identification card scanners;
 
·
Passport security scanners;
 
·
Business card readers;
 
·
Barcode scanning; and
 
·
Optical mark readers used in lottery terminals.
 
In the past ten years we have grown to be one of the largest manufacturers of page-fed scanning devices worldwide, and we sell to several major brand companies including NCR, BURROUGHS, BRIDGEPORT TECHNOLOGIES, VISIONEER, BROTHER INTERNATIONAL, NEWELL RUBBERMAID/DYMO-CARDSCAN, and AMBIR TECHNOLOGY.  Our vertically integrated design and manufacturing business model allows our customers to introduce new products to the market quickly and efficiently.

Current Market Opportunities, Strategies and Products

Strategic Investment

In August 2010, NCR invested $4,000,000 in DCT by purchasing 3,861,004 shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $4,000,000 (“NCR Investment”).  The equivalent per share price was $1.036, subject to anti-dilution adjustment.  As part of this investment, NCR was granted a two-year option to purchase up to an additional $4,000,000 of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.036 per share, subject to anti-dilution adjustment.

We view the NCR Investment as both a strategic and financial milestone for the Company.  Management plans to aggressively capitalize on the NCR Investment and NCR relationship by leveraging NCR’s strong presence in the financial and healthcare markets, as well as expanding into new markets such as hospitality and travel.

Products

Globally, the paper-to-digital revolution has grown exponentially.  Information management, including how that information is retrieved, stored, shared and disseminated, has become increasingly important, and in many instances critical, for all Enterprises.  Our document/image-capture products help transform business-critical information from paper into a manageable digital format. 

Our solutions can speed the processing of thousands of forms, documents and transactions annually, converting their content into information that is easily integrated into a database, document, or other management system. We believe that our document/image-capture products enable organizations to reduce operating costs, obtain higher information accuracy rates and markedly increase processing times.  As a result, we believe there are significant and sustainable growth opportunities for our solutions to help simplify the way Enterprises manage information.

Specific features include:

 
·
Full-Speed USB powered;
 
·
300 dots per inch (“DPI”) optical resolution;
 
·
Minimal power consumption;
 
·
Extremely lightweight; and
 
·
RoHS-Compliant with Restriction of Hazardous Substance.

Sales, Marketing and Distribution
 
Our sales and marketing efforts are designed to serve our direct customer base, rather than the end user of our products.  We market and sell our products both domestically and internationally through a global network of more than 45 independent distributors and channel partners in North America, Europe and Asia.  We select these independent entities based on their ability to provide effective field sales, marketing communications and technical support to our targeted markets.  Our products are sold through several retail and Internet-based channels.
 
Competition
 
We had several direct competitors to our document/image-capture products in major worldwide markets (North America, Europe and Asia) during the year ended December 31, 2010.  To maintain our competitive advantage, we maintain a high level of investment in research and development, and focus on factory efficiency.  This allows us to provide superior time-to-market product cycles with the goal of manufacturing and delivering products to customers virtually defect free.
  
 
- 5 -

 
 
We believe that our competitive strengths include:
  
 
·
Product quality and performance;
 
·
Patented and proprietary-based products;
 
·
Favorable and well established reputation, experience and presence in the USB-powered document/image-capture devices market;
 
·
Superior customer relationships that allow us to identify and work closely with customers to meet market demands;
 
·
Vertical integration design and manufacturing business model which reduces the time to introduce a new or improved product to the market; and
 
·
Broad distribution channels.

Manufacturing and Raw Material Supply

Manufacturing.  Historically, we have purchased the majority of our finished scanner imaging products from Shenzhen Syscan Technology (“SST”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Syscan Technology Holdings Limited (“STH”).  At December 31, 2010, STH held approximately 15% of DCT’s outstanding common stock.  See Part III, “Item 13:  Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.”

We purposely limit the manufacturing of our product to SST, as this gives us better control over both the quality and cost of our product.  We have established a pricing agreement with SST, which is negotiated periodically.  From the early stages of product design and development, DCT engineers worked closely with SST’s production team to ensure optimal and cost-effective manufacturing. The strategy of using only one subcontract manufacturer could be disadvantageous if SST becomes unable or unwilling to provide products to us in a timely manner.  If this happens, we estimate it would take us approximately six to twelve months to establish a new subcontract manufacturer.  To mitigate this exposure, we provide to SST most of the critical components and tooling required to manufacture our proprietary products.

At the end of January 2010, SST announced a relocation of its primary manufacturing facility, currently located in Shenzhen China, to Wuhan, Hubei China. The purpose of the relocation is to reduce direct and overhead costs.  As of the date of this filing and based on information provided to it by SST, DCT anticipates the new manufacturing facility to be fully functional by April 2011 and that the relocation will have minimal impact to the manufacturing process and DCT’s operations.
 
Raw Materials.  We do not have any long-term or exclusive purchase commitments with any of our suppliers. SST purchases the raw materials, parts and components with the exception of the critical components discussed above, which we provide.  A limited number of components included in our products are obtained from a single supplier or a small group of suppliers.  Some controller chips are sole-sourced, as they are specialized devices that can effectively control the cost of our product.  To reduce the risk associated with using a sole supplier, we attempt to maintain strategic inventories of these sole-sourced components.  Where possible, we also work with secondary suppliers to qualify additional sources of supply.
 
To date, we have been able to obtain adequate supplies of the components used in the production of our document/image-capture products in a timely manner from existing sources.  If in the future we are unable to obtain sufficient quantities of required materials, components or subassemblies, or if such items do not meet our quality standards, delays or reductions in product shipments could occur, which could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
Customers

A small number of our customers have historically accounted for a substantial portion of our net sales. Total sales to significant customers (customers who represent more than 10% of our net sales) were 62% and 64% during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.   See Note 1 included in Part II, “Item 8: Financial Statements.”  Our largest customer rankings and their respective contributions to our net sales have varied and will likely continue to vary from period to period.   However, we expect that our largest customers will continue to account for a substantial portion of our net sales in the foreseeable future.

Currently, we do not have agreements with any of our key customers that contain long-term commitments to purchase specified volumes of our products.  We typically sell products pursuant to purchase orders that customers can generally defer without incurring a significant penalty.  We believe that maintaining and continuing to strengthen customer relationships will play an important role in maintaining our leading position in the document/image-capture market.

Intellectual Property
 
While the success of our business depends more on such factors as our employees’ technical expertise and innovative skills, the success of our business also relies on our ability to protect our proprietary technology. Accordingly, we seek to protect our intellectual property rights in a variety of ways.  Obtaining patents on our innovative technologies is one such way.  We have multiple patents covering our document/image-capture technologies.  These patents do not begin to expire until 2017.
 
Another way we seek to protect our proprietary technology and other proprietary rights is by requiring our employees and contractors to execute confidentiality and invention assignment agreements.  We also rely on employee and third-party nondisclosure agreements and other intellectual property protection methods, including proprietary know-how, to protect our confidential information and our other intellectual property.
 
Compliance with Environmental, Health and Safety Regulations

DCT and its product manufacturer have established an ongoing product surveillance program in coordination with standards set by Underwriters Laboratories, Canadian Standards Association, CB Safety Standards, Federal Communication Commission (FCC class B), Community European (CE mark) and VCCI compliance (Japan). Additionally, all DCT products offered are RoHS compliant as required by the European Union (“EU”).

Research and Development

We have historically devoted a significant portion of our financial resources to research and development programs for both our current products and our future products, and we expect to continue to allocate significant resources to these efforts. Until November 2007, the majority of our research and development efforts were focused on high definition (“HD”) display technologies.  During November 2007, we terminated the HD display research and development efforts, and have not incurred any HD-related research and development expenses since the year ended December 31, 2007.  Instead, we have focused our research and development efforts and financial resources on our core revenue generating document/image-capture products.

Our research and development expenses were $1,088,000 and $1,013,000 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  To date, all research and development costs have been expensed as incurred.

Our future success will depend, in part, on our ability to anticipate changes, enhance our current products, and develop and introduce new products that keep pace with technological advancements and address the increasingly sophisticated needs of our customers. We intend to further develop our technology and innovative products to meet customer demands.

Backlog

We do not believe that backlog as of any particular date is meaningful as our sales are made primarily pursuant to standard purchase orders for delivery of products.

Seasonal Trends

Our sales generally have followed a seasonal trend. Historically, our sales have been higher in the second half of the year than in the first half of the year.  This seasonal trend has occurred during the past several years, but there can be no assurance that it will continue in the future.

Employees

As of December 31, 2010, we employed 25 employees on a full-time basis, 20 employees were located in the United States, 3 were located in China and 2 were located in Europe.  Of the total, 7 were in product research and development and 18 were in sales, operations and administration. None of our employees are represented by unions or collective bargaining agreements. We have experienced no work stoppages and believe that our employee relations are good.

ITEM 1A.   RISK FACTORS

Risks Relating to Our Business

A significant percentage of our revenue is derived from sales to a few large customers, and if we are not able to retain these customers, or they reschedule, reduce or cancel orders, or delay or default on payments, our revenues would be reduced and our financial condition and cash flows would suffer.

Total sales to significant customers (customers who represent more than 10% of our net sales) were 62% and 64% during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.   See Note 1 included in Part II, “Item 8: Financial Statements.”  We expect that our largest customers will continue to account for a substantial portion of our net sales for the foreseeable future.  None of our customers are obligated to purchase a minimum number of our products in the aggregate or during any particular period.  We cannot provide assurance that any of our customers will continue to purchase our products at past or current levels.

The Company has experienced a history of recurring operating losses and may continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future.

Our operating loss was $367,000 and $300,000 for the years December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  Our accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2010 was $32,843,000.  We cannot provide assurance that we can achieve operating profitability in the future.

We subcontract the manufacturing of our image-capture products to one company and this reliance on one company exposes us to risk which could damage our reputation and adversely affect our business.

If our manufacturer (see Part III, “Item 13: Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence”) becomes unable or unwilling to provide products to us in a timely manner, we may not be able to deliver our products to customers on time, which could increase our costs, damage our reputation or result in the loss of our customers. Although we have the right to utilize other manufacturers at any time, identifying and qualifying a new manufacturer to replace our current manufacturer could take 6 to 12 months.

At the end of January 2010, our manufacturer announced a relocation of its primary manufacturing facility, currently located in Shenzhen China, to Wuhan, Hubei China. The purpose of the relocation is to reduce direct and overhead costs.

Based on information provided by our manufacturer as of the date of this filing, we anticipate the new manufacturing facility to be fully functional by April 2011 with minimal impact to the manufacturing process.  However, we cannot provide assurance that production will not be negatively impacted. In the event of a delay in the relocation of the manufacturing facility, our business operations could be materially adversely affected.

We depend on a limited number of suppliers to provide the components and raw materials necessary to manufacture our products; any interruption in the availability of these components and raw materials used in our product could reduce our revenues or increase our costs.

Although many alternative suppliers exist, we rely on a single or limited number of suppliers for many of the significant components and raw materials required to manufacture our document/image-capture products.  This reliance leads to a number of significant risks, including:

 
·
Unavailability or reduced availability of materials and interruptions in delivery of components and raw materials from our suppliers;
 
·
Manufacturing delays caused by such unavailability or interruptions in delivery; and
 
·
Fluctuations in the quality and the price of components and raw materials.

We do not have any long-term or exclusive purchase commitments with any of our suppliers. Failure to maintain existing relationships with our current suppliers, or failure to establish new supplier relationships in the future, could negatively affect our ability to obtain necessary components and raw materials in a timely manner. If we are unable to obtain ample supply of materials from our existing suppliers or alternative supply sources, we may be unable to satisfy our customers' orders, which could reduce our revenues and adversely affect relationships with our customers.

Because we rely on a limited number of suppliers, any cost increases or other changes that impact our suppliers, could be imposed on us and may require us to incur additional costs in order to obtain an adequate supply of those components and raw materials.
 
 
- 9 -

 
 
We face growing competition and expect competition to increase in the future. 
 
We face an increasingly competitive market with larger competitors and rapidly evolving technologies. We anticipate pricing pressure from domestic and international markets requiring ongoing management attention.  Any material decrease in our revenues as a result of any such pricing pressures, without a corresponding reduction in our cost of goods sold, would have a material adverse effect on our gross profit.
 
Our executive officers and key personnel are critical to our business and the loss of their services could adversely affect our business.  

Our success depends to a significant degree upon the continuing contributions of our key executive officers and managers.  Although we have employment agreements with most of these individuals, we cannot guarantee that we can retain these individuals.  In addition, we have not obtained “key man” life insurance on the lives of any of the members of our management team.

The authorization and issuance of “blank check” preferred stock could have an anti-takeover effect detrimental to the interests of our stockholders.

Our certificate of incorporation allows the Board of Directors to issue preferred stock with rights and preferences set by our board without further stockholder approval.  Under particular circumstances, the issuance of these “blank check preferred” shares could have an anti-takeover effect.  For example, in the event of a hostile takeover attempt, it may be possible for management and the board to impede the attempt by issuing blank check preferred shares, thereby diluting or impairing the voting power of the other outstanding shares of common stock and increasing the potential costs to acquire control of our Company.  Our Board of Directors has the right to issue blank check preferred shares without first offering them to holders of our common stock, as the holders of our common stock have no preemptive rights.

Our results of operations could vary as a result of the methods, estimates, and judgments that we use in applying our accounting policies.

The methods, estimates, and judgments that we use in applying our accounting policies have a significant impact on our results of operations (see “Critical Accounting Estimates” in Part II, Item 7 of this Form 10-K). Such methods, estimates, and judgments are, by their nature, subject to substantial risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, and factors may arise over time that lead us to change our methods, estimates, and judgments. Changes in those methods, estimates, and judgments could significantly affect our results of operations.

Our results of operations could be impacted by macroeconomic, including currency exchange rates, and other factors, harming our results of operations.

Such factors include fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, specifically the fluctuation between the Chinese Yuan and the U.S. Dollar, and fluctuations in interest rates.

Risks Related To Our Intellectual Property and Technology

Unauthorized use of our intellectual property and proprietary technology could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Our success and competitive position depend in large part on our ability to obtain and maintain intellectual property rights to protect our products. We currently, and may in the future, rely on a combination of patents, copyrights, trademarks, service marks, trade secrets, confidentiality provisions and licensing arrangements to establish and protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights. Unauthorized parties may attempt to copy aspects of our products or obtain, license, sell or otherwise use information that we regard as proprietary. Policing unauthorized use of our products is difficult, and we may not be able to protect our technology from unauthorized use.

Additionally, our competitors may independently develop technologies that are substantially the same or superior to ours without infringing our rights. In these cases, we would be unable to prevent our competitors from selling or licensing these similar or superior technologies.  Further, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect our proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States.
 
 
- 10 -

 
 
Third parties have claimed and may claim in the future that we or our customers are infringing, or contributing to the infringement of, their intellectual property.  We could be exposed to significant litigation or licensing expenses or be prevented from selling our products if such claims are successful.

We may be unaware of intellectual property rights of others that may cover some of our technologies and products.  If it appears necessary or desirable, we may seek licenses for these intellectual property rights. However, we may not be able to obtain licenses from some or all claimants or the terms of any offered licenses may not be acceptable to us, and we may not be able to resolve disputes without litigation.  Any litigation regarding intellectual property could be costly and time-consuming and could divert the attention of our management and key personnel from our business operations.

In the event of a claim of intellectual property infringement, we may be required to enter into costly royalty or license agreements. Third parties claiming intellectual property infringement may be able to obtain injunctive or other equitable relief that could effectively block our ability to develop and sell our products.

Risks Relating To Our Common Stock

The stock market in general has experienced volatility that often has been unrelated to the operating performance of listed companies. These broad fluctuations may be the result of unscrupulous practices that may adversely affect the price of our stock, regardless of our operating performance.

Shareholders should be aware that, according to SEC Release No. 34-29093 dated April 17, 1991, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse.  Such patterns include (1) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (2) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (3) boiler room practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (4) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differential and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (5) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequent investor losses. The occurrence of these patterns or practices could increase the volatility of our share price.

The limited prior public market and trading market may cause possible volatility in our stock price.

To date, there has only been a limited public market for our securities and there can be no assurance that we can attain an active trading market for our securities.  Our common stock trades on the OTC Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”), which is an unorganized, inter-dealer, over-the-counter market that provides significantly less liquidity than the national securities exchanges.

Quotes for securities quoted on the OTCBB are not listed in the financial sections of newspapers as are those for the national securities exchanges.  Moreover, in recent years, the overall market for securities has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have particularly affected the market prices of many smaller companies.  The trading price of our common stock is expected to be subject to significant fluctuations which are affected by, but not limited to, the following:

 
·
Quarterly variations in operating results and achievement of key business metrics;
 
·
Changes in earnings estimates by securities analysts, if any;
 
·
Any differences between reported results and securities analysts’ published or unpublished expectations;
 
·
Announcements of new products by us or our competitors;
 
·
Market reaction to any acquisitions, joint ventures or strategic investments announced by us or our competitors;
 
·
Demand for our products;
 
·
Shares sold pursuant to Rule 144 or upon exercise of warrants and options or conversion of  Series B Convertible Preferred Stock; and
 
·
General economic or stock market conditions unrelated to our operating performance.

These fluctuations, as well as general economic and market conditions, may have a material or adverse affect on the market price of our common stock.
  
 
- 11 -

 
 
The OTCBB is a quotation system, not an issuer listing service, market or exchange. Therefore, buying and selling stock on the OTCBB is not as efficient as buying and selling stock through an exchange. As a result, it may be difficult for you to sell your common stock or you may not be able to sell your common stock for an optimum trading price.
The OTCBB executes trades and quotations using a manual process and cannot guarantee the market information for securities. In some instances, quote information, or even firm quotes, may not be available. The OTCBB’s manual execution process may delay order processing and as a result, a limit order may fail to execute or a market order may execute at a significantly different price due to intervening price fluctuations. Trade execution, execution reporting and legal trade confirmation delivery may be delayed significantly. Consequently, one may not be able to sell shares of our common stock at the optimum trading prices.

OTCBB securities are frequent targets of fraud or market manipulation not only because of their generally low price, but also because the OTCBB reporting requirements for these securities are less stringent than for listed or Nasdaq traded securities, and no exchange requirements are imposed. Dealers may dominate the market and set prices that are not based on competitive forces.  Individuals or groups may create fraudulent markets and control the sudden, sharp increase of price and trading volume, and the equally sudden collapse of the market price for shares of our common stock.

When fewer shares of a security are being traded on the OTCBB, the security’s market price may become increasingly volatile and price movement may outpace the ability to deliver accurate quote information.  Due to lower trading volumes of our common stock, there may be a lower likelihood that one's orders for our common stock will be executed, and current prices may differ significantly from the price one was quoted by the OTCBB at the time of one's order entry.

Orders for OTCBB securities may be canceled or edited like orders for other securities. All requests to change or cancel an order must be submitted to, received and processed by the OTCBB. As mentioned earlier in this document, the OTCBB executes trades using a manual process, which could cause delays in order processing and reporting, and could hamper one’s ability to cancel or edit one's order. Consequently, selling shares of our common stock at the optimum trading prices may be impossible.

The dealer's spread (the difference between the bid and ask prices) may be large and may result in substantial losses to the seller of our common stock on the OTCBB if the stock must be sold immediately.  Further, purchasers of our common stock may incur an immediate "paper" loss due to the price spread.  Moreover, dealers may not have a bid price for our common stock on the OTCBB.  Due to the foregoing factors, demand for our common stock on the OTCBB may be decreased or eliminated.

Our common stock is considered a “penny stock.”  The application of the “penny stock” rules to our common stock could limit the trading and liquidity of the common stock, adversely affect the market price of our common stock and increase your transaction costs to sell those shares.

The Commission has adopted regulations which generally define a “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) of less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions.  As a result, our shares of common stock are subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established clients and “accredited investors.”

 For transactions governed by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of such securities, must obtain the purchaser's written consent to the transaction, and must deliver to the purchaser a SEC-mandated, penny stock risk disclosure document, all prior to the purchase.  The broker-dealer must also disclose the commission payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer's presumed control over the market.  Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.  Consequently, the “penny stock” rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our shares of common stock and may affect the ability of investors to sell such shares of common stock in the secondary market and may affect the price at which investors can sell such shares.

Investors should be aware that the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse, according to the Commission.  Such patterns include:

 
·
Control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer;
 
·
Manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases;
 
·
“Boiler room” practices involving high pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons;
 
·
Excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and
 
·
The wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the inevitable collapse of those prices with consequent investor losses.

Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market.

Additional authorized shares of our common stock and preferred stock available for issuance may result in substantial dilution to our shareholders.

We are authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of our common stock.  As of March 8, 2011, there were 20,479,276 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.  However, the total number of shares of our common stock issued and outstanding does not include shares reserved in anticipation of the exercise of options or warrants.  As of March 8, 2011, we had the following common shares reserved for future issuance:
 
Stock options – employees, directors and contractors
    15,244,498  
NCR Option
    3,861,004  
Warrants outstanding
    798,027  
Total
    19,903,529  

The numbers above do not include 71,667 shares that are available for future grant under our employee stock option plans.   To the extent that options or warrants are exercised, the holders of our common stock will experience further dilution. In addition, in the event that any future financing should be in the form of, be convertible into or exchangeable for, equity securities, and upon the exercise of options and warrants, investors may experience additional dilution.

While we have no present plans to issue any additional shares of preferred stock in the future, our board of directors has the authority (as previously discussed), without stockholder approval, to create and issue one or more series of such preferred stock and to determine the voting, dividend and other rights of holders of such preferred stock.  The above table does not include any future issuance of preferred stock.  The issuance of any of such series of preferred stock will cause further dilution to holders of our common stock.

Future sales of our common stock could put downward selling pressure on our common stock, and adversely affect the per share price. There is a risk that this downward pressure may make it impossible for an investor to sell shares of common stock at any reasonable price, if at all.

From time to time, certain of our stockholders may be eligible to sell all or some of their shares of common stock by means of ordinary brokerage transactions in the open market pursuant to Rule 144, promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933 (Securities Act), subject to certain limitations. In general, Rule 144 permits the unlimited sale of securities by our stockholders that are non-affiliates that have satisfied a six month holding period, and affiliates of our Company may sell within any three month period a number of securities that does not exceed 1% of our then outstanding shares of common stock. Any substantial sale of our common stock pursuant to Rule 144 or pursuant to any resale prospectus may have material adverse effect on the market price of our securities.

Limitations on director and officer liability and our indemnification of officers and directors may discourage shareholders from bringing suit against a director.

Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide, with certain exceptions as permitted by governing Delaware law, that a director or officer shall not be personally liable to us or our shareholders for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or knowing violation of law, or unlawful payments of dividends. These provisions may discourage shareholders from bringing suit against a director for breach of fiduciary duty and may reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation brought by shareholders on our behalf against a director. In addition, our certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide for mandatory indemnification of directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.

2002 Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan

At our stockholders’ annual meeting on June 23, 2006, our stockholders approved the adoption of the 2002 Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan (“2002 Plan”).  Currently, the plan is administered by our Board of Directors.  The 2002 Plan generally provides for the grant of either qualified or nonqualified stock options to officers, employees, directors and consultants at not less than 85% of the fair market value of our common stock as of the grant date.

The 2002 Plan provides that vested options may generally be exercised for three months after termination of employment and for 12 months after termination of employment as a result of death or disability.  If the Company liquidates, optionees will be notified at least 30 days prior to the proposed dissolution or liquidation to give optionees time to exercise any vested options.  To the extent not previously exercised, all options will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action.  However, the plan administrator may, under its sole discretion, permit exercise of any options prior to their termination, even if such options were not otherwise exercisable.

In the event of our change in control (including our merger with or into another corporation, or sale of substantially all our assets), the 2002 Plan provides that each outstanding option will fully vest and become exercisable.  The maximum number of options that can be granted under the 2002 Plan is 3,200,000.   As of December 31, 2010, there were no options available for future grant under the 2002 Plan.

2006 Stock Option Plan

At our stockholders’ annual meeting on June 23, 2006, our stockholders approved the adoption of the 2006 Stock Option Plan (“2006 Plan”).  Currently the plan is administered by our Board of Directors.  The 2006 Plan generally provides for the grant of either qualified or nonqualified stock options to officers, employees, directors and consultants at not less than 85% of the fair market value of our common stock as of the grant date.

The 2006 Plan provides that vested options may generally be exercised for three months after termination of employment and for 12 months after termination of employment as a result of death or disability.  If the Company liquidates, optionees will be notified at least 30 days prior to the proposed dissolution or liquidation to give optionees time to exercise any vested options.  To the extent not previously exercised, all options will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action.  However, the plan administrator may, under its sole discretion, permit exercise of any options prior to their termination, even if such options were not otherwise exercisable. In the event of our change in control (including our merger with or into another corporation, or sale of substantially all our assets), the 2006 Plan provides that each outstanding option will fully vest and become exercisable.  At the Company’s annual meeting on October 3, 2008, the Company’s shareholders agreed to increase the maximum number of options that can be granted under the 2006 Plan from 1,500,000 to 2,500,000.   As of December 31, 2010, there were 51,000 options available for future grant under the 2006 Plan.

2009 Stock Option Plan

At our stockholders’ annual meeting on September 14, 2009, our stockholders approved the adoption of the 2009 Stock Option Plan (“2009 Plan”).  Currently the plan is administered by our Board of Directors.  The 2009 Plan generally provides for the grant of either qualified or nonqualified stock options to officers, employees, directors and consultants at not less than 85% of the fair market value of our common stock as of the grant date.

The 2009 Plan provides that vested options may generally be exercised for three months after termination of employment and for 12 months after termination of employment as a result of death or disability.  If the Company liquidates, optionees will be notified at least 30 days prior to the proposed dissolution or liquidation to give optionees time to exercise any vested options.  To the extent not previously exercised, all options will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action.  However, the plan administrator may, under its sole discretion, permit exercise of any options prior to their termination, even if such options were not otherwise exercisable.

2010 Stock Option Plan

On April 29, 2010 the Company’s board of directors approved the adoption of the 2010 Stock Option Plan (“2010 Plan”).  The 2010 Plan has not been approved by DCT stockholders.  Currently the plan is administered by our Board of Directors.  The 2010 Plan generally provides for the grant of either qualified or nonqualified stock options to officers, employees, directors and consultants at not less than 85% of the fair market value of our common stock as of the grant date.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

During the year ended December 31, 2010, we did not issue any securities that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) except as disclosed in previous SEC filings.

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

During September 2010, DCT’s board of directors authorized DCT to repurchase (“DCT Stock Repurchase Plan”) and retire $2,500,000 of its common stock in open market transactions or in privately negotiated transactions pursuant to Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  As of December 31, 2010, $303,000 remained available for repurchase under the existing repurchase authorization limit.

The authorization does not have an expiration date, does not require DCT to purchase a specific number of shares and may be modified, suspended or terminated at any time.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with other sections of this Form 10-K including Part 1, “Item 1: Business” and Part II, “Item 8: Financial Statements.”  Various sections of management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) contain statements that are forward-looking. These statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially due to factors discussed in this report, as well as factors not within our control. We undertake no duty to update any forward-looking statement to conform the statement to actual results or changes in our expectations.
 
Our MD&A is provided as a supplement to our audited financial statements to help provide an understanding of our financial condition, changes in financial condition and results of operations. The MD&A section is organized as follows:
 
·
Overview and Strategy. This section provides a general description of the Company's business, as well as recent developments that we believe are important in understanding our results of operations as well as anticipating future trends in our operations.
 
·
Critical Accounting Policies. This section provides an analysis of the significant estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.
 
·
Results of Operations. This section provides an analysis of our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2010 (“Fiscal 2010”) compared to the year ended December 31, 2009 (“Fiscal 2009”).  A brief description of certain aspects, transactions and events is provided, including related-party transactions that impact the comparability of the results being analyzed.
 
·
Liquidity and Capital Resources. This section provides an analysis of our financial condition as of December 31, 2010 and our cash flows for Fiscal 2010 compared to Fiscal 2009.
 
·
Contractual Obligations, Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements, and Trends.  As of December 31, 2010, an overview of (i) contractual obligations and contingent liabilities and commitments, including an expected payment schedule, (ii) an explanation of off-balance-sheet arrangements, and (iii) known trends.
 
Overview and Strategy

We are in the business of designing, developing and delivering imaging technology solutions. Our technology is protected under multiple patents.  We focus our research and development toward new deliverable and marketable technologies related to document digitization and utilization. We sell our products to customers throughout the world.

In August 2010, NCR invested $4,000,000 in DCT by purchasing 3,861,004 shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $4,000,000 (“NCR Investment”).  The equivalent per share price was $1.036, subject to anti-dilution adjustment.  As part of this investment, NCR was granted a two-year option to purchase up to an additional $4,000,000 of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.036 per share, subject to anti-dilution adjustment.

We view the NCR Investment as both a strategic and financial milestone for the Company.  Management plans to aggressively capitalize on the NCR Investment and NCR relationship by leveraging NCR’s strong presence in the financial and healthcare markets, as well as expanding into new markets such as hospitality and travel.
 
In September 2010, we negotiated a new lease that (i) combined our corporate office and warehouse spaces, and (ii) increased square footage to expand domestic production capabilities.  By combining our corporate office and warehouse spaces, we will gain significant operational efficiencies.  We are expanding our domestic production capabilities to capitalize on certain market-specific opportunities, particularly with federal, state and local government agencies that require products to be manufactured in the U.S. under the Trade Agreements Act (“TAA”).
 
Critical Accounting Policies

The methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying our accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in our financial statements, which we discuss under the heading “Results of Operations” following this section of our MD&A. Some of our accounting policies require us to make difficult and subjective judgments, often resulting from the need to make estimates on matters that are inherently uncertain.
 
 
- 18 -

 
 
We believe the following critical accounting policies reflect our more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:
 
Revenue Recognition
 
Revenues consist of sales of merchandise, including optical document/image-capturing devices, modules of optical document/image-capturing devices, optical image chips and other optoelectronic products. Revenue is recognized when the product is shipped or delivered and the risks, rewards and title of ownership have transferred to the customer. We recognize some shipping and handling fees as revenue, and the related expenses as a component of cost of sales. All internal handling charges are included with selling and marketing expense.  Historically, sales returns have not been significant.  As such, we do not record a reduction to revenue for estimated product returns in the same period that the related revenue is recorded.
 
Sales Incentives

In certain instances, we offer sales incentives whereby we give customers additional product for certain volume-related purchases.  We record the cost of the product-related sales incentives as a cost of sales during the period the incentive is earned.
 
Inventory and Warranty Reserves
 
We establish inventory reserves for estimated obsolescence, unmarketable, or slow-moving inventory in an amount equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and its estimated realizable value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual demand and market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory reserves could be required.  We did not identify any obsolete, unmarketable, or slow-moving inventory during the years ended December 31, 2010 or 2009.

Currently, our manufacturer warrants products against defects in material and workmanship for a period of 18 months after the completion of manufacture. After such 18 month period, our manufacturer provides product repair services for us at its customary hourly repair rate plus the cost of any parts, components or items necessary to repair the products.  As a result, DCT does not record a product warranty reserve.

Related-Party Transactions

We have significant related-party transactions and agreements, which we believe have been accounted for at fair value. We utilized our best estimate of the value of these transactions and agreements. Had alternative assumptions been used, the values obtained may have been different.

Purchases

Historically, we have purchased the majority of our finished scanner imaging products from Shenzhen Syscan Technology (“SST”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Syscan Technology Holdings Limited ("STH").  At December 31, 2010, STH held approximately 15% of DCT’s outstanding common stock.

Purchases from SST totaled $8,521,000 and $6,546,000 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  All purchases from SST were carried out in the normal course of business.

Net Sales

During the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, we recorded net sales totaling $246,000 and $72,000, respectively, for finished scanners sold to SST.  The related cost of goods sold was $207,000 and $39,000 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  All sales to SST contained similar terms and conditions as for other transactions of this nature entered into by us.

Agreement to License Office Space

On April 26, 2010, we entered into a two-year license agreement (“License”) with Beau Dietl & Associates (“BDA”) to license office space from BDA in New York City.  The purpose of the License is for us to have a physical presence in New York City.  In connection with the License, we paid BDA an upfront license fee of $50,000 as payment in full.  The $50,000 payment was capitalized and is being amortized, using the straight-line method, to selling, general and administrative expense over the term of the License.  In connection with the License, we recorded rent expense of $17,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010.
 
 
- 19 -

 
 
The License can be cancelled by either party with 90 days written notice.

Legal Services Agreement

On September 15, 2009, we entered into a legal services agreement (“Agreement”) with one of our directors - Jody R. Samuels.  Pursuant to the Agreement, Mr. Samuels will provide certain legal services to us which will consist of assisting the Company in (i) the preparation of its periodic and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including proxy statements, special and annual meetings of shareholders, (ii) the negotiation of financing and corporate development transactions, (iii) preparation and review of documentation related to financing arrangements and corporate development transactions, (iv) preparing registration statements, and responding to any SEC inquiries/comment letters, (v) documenting corporate governance policies and procedures, and (vi) any other legal matters reasonably within the legal expertise of Mr. Samuels.

Pursuant to the Agreement, Mr. Samuels is paid $4,000 per month for a total of $48,000 and $14,000 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  The Agreement may be cancelled by either party with 30 days prior written notice.

New Consulting Agreement

On August 13, 2010, DCT’s board of directors approved a consulting agreement with National Health Media (“NHM”) for purposes of assisting us establish contacts and generate sales of our products to companies specifically in the healthcare industry.  At the time the agreement was executed, the owner of NHM held approximately one percent of DCT’s outstanding common stock, held 1,250,000 options to purchase DCT common stock, and was an existing consultant to DCT.  As compensation for the agreement, we agreed to pay NHM five percent of sales of our products in excess of $10,000,000 which are directly attributable to introductions made by NHM.  Additionally, we paid NHM $400,000 upon execution of the agreement.  No commissions were incurred or paid in connection with the NHM agreement through December 31, 2010.  The term of the NHM agreement is 48 months and is automatically renewed for one-year periods unless terminated by NHM with 30-days written notice or by us at any time.

Revised Consulting Agreements

In July 2008, DCT’s board of directors approved a business advisory and consulting agreement between the Company and each of Richard Dietl (“Dietl Contract”) and Daniel DelGiorno (“DelGiorno Contract”).

In August 2009, DCT’s board of directors approved an amendment to the Dietl Contract, whereby DCT made a one-time cash payment of $30,000 in exchange for the return of 275,000 non-qualified stock options which were originally granted under the Dietl Contract.

In April 2010, DCT’s board of directors approved an amendment to the Dietl Contract and the DelGiorno Contract.  In addition to the services contracted within the original agreements, Mr. Dietl and Mr. DelGiorno will provide investor relations services in exchange for options to purchase up to 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.30 per share.  On the grant date, the total fair value of such options was $435,000 using the Black-Scholes valuation model.  The options vest over a two year period with 50% of such options vesting at the end of the first and second years of the agreement; however, in the event of a change of control in the Company’s securities or assets pursuant to introductions specifically made by Mr. Dietl and Mr. DelGiorno to the Company, all of the options shall immediately vest 100% in conjunction with such event.  A change of control shall be defined as a change of ownership of 50% or more of the Company’s securities, or voting control thereof, or a transfer of more than 50% of the Company’s tangible and/or intangible assets.

Reimbursed Expenses

During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, we reimbursed expenses incurred by related-party consultants totaling approximately $4,400 and $1,000, respectively.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We evaluate our long-lived assets for impairment annually or more frequently if we believe indicators of impairment exist. Significant management judgment is required during the evaluation, which includes forecasts of future operating results. The estimates we have used are consistent with the plans and estimates that we use to manage our business. It is possible, however, that the plans and estimates used may be incorrect. If our actual results, or the plans and estimates used in future impairment analyses, are lower than the original estimates used to assess the recoverability of these assets, we could incur additional impairment charges.  We had no such asset impairments during Fiscal 2010 or Fiscal 2009.

Income Taxes
 
We utilize the liability method of accounting for income taxes.  Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are calculated as the difference between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income.
 
We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount that we believe is more likely than not to be realized. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, we consider all positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies, and recent financial performance.
 
The application of tax laws and regulations is subject to legal and factual interpretation, judgment and uncertainty. Tax laws themselves are subject to change as a result of changes in fiscal policy, changes in legislation, evolution of regulations and court rulings. Therefore, the actual income taxes may be materially different from our estimates.  As a result of our analysis, we concluded that a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets is appropriate at December 31, 2010 and 2009.
 
Contingencies
 
From time to time, we are involved in disputes, litigation and other legal proceedings.  We record a charge equal to at least the minimum estimated liability for a loss contingency when both of the following conditions are met: (i) information available prior to issuance of the financial statements indicates that it is probable that an asset had been impaired or a liability had been incurred at the date of the financial statements, and (ii) the range of loss can be reasonably estimated. However, the actual liability in any such litigation may be materially different from our estimates, which could result in the need to record additional costs.  Currently, we have no outstanding legal proceedings or claims that require a loss contingency.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

DCT has incentive plans that permit us to grant incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options to employees, directors and consultants.  All stock options are valued using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The determination of the fair value of share-based payment awards utilizing the Black-Scholes model is affected by our stock price and a number of assumptions, including expected volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. We use the historical volatility for our common stock as the expected volatility assumption required in the Black-Scholes model, which could be significantly different than actual volatility.  The expected life of the awards is based on historical and other economic data trended into the future. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on observed interest rates appropriate for the terms of our awards. The dividend yield assumption is based on our history and expectation of dividend payouts.  Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

Stock-based compensation expense recognized in our financial statements is based on awards that are ultimately expected to vest. We evaluate the assumptions used to value our awards on a quarterly basis. If factors change and we employ different assumptions, stock-based compensation expense may differ significantly from what we have recorded in the past. If there are any modifications or cancellations of the underlying unvested securities, we may be required to accelerate, increase or cancel any remaining unearned stock-based compensation expense. Future stock-based compensation expense and unearned stock-based compensation will increase to the extent that we grant additional equity awards to employees, directors or consultants.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

We account for certain liabilities pursuant to the Fair Value Topic of the Codification, which defines three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1. Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.  DCT had no Level 1 assets or liabilities during Fiscal 2010 or Fiscal 2009.

Level 2. Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets), or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated with observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.  DCT had no Level 2 assets or liabilities during Fiscal 2010 or Fiscal 2009.
 
 
- 21 -

 
 
Level 3.  Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of assets or liabilities.  The determination of fair value for Level 3 instruments requires the most management judgment and subjectivity.  DCT had no Level 3 assets.  DCT’s Level 3 liabilities include (i) warrant liabilities, (ii) stock option liabilities, and (iii) derivative contracts liabilities.  DCT estimates the fair value of Level 3 liabilities using either the Binomial option pricing model or the Black-Scholes valuation model, depending on the attributes of the liability being measured.

Net Sales

Net sales for Fiscal 2010 were higher compared to Fiscal 2009 due to a 33% increase in the number of scanners sold.  The number of scanners sold increased as a result of organic growth experienced by our existing, recurring customers as well as the introduction of next-generation products by our customers.  Our average selling price remained fairly constant, but did fluctuate somewhat as a result of the mix of products sold and certain volume-related price discounts.

While international sales are strategically important to the growth of our business, they represent less than 10% of our total sales during both Fiscal 2010 and Fiscal 2009.  We have expanded our sales and support staff in Europe for the purpose of further developing our global presence and product recognition internationally.  The majority of our international sales are in Europe.  Because our products can be easily configured to support different languages, and we provide ongoing support for Romanized, Cyrillic and Sinographic character software, we are able to actively pursue sales opportunities in many different international markets.

Although we continually concentrate on expanding our customer base, our revenue remains dependent on a small number of significant customers.  Total sales to significant customers (customers who represent more than 10% of our net sales) were 62% and 64% during Fiscal 2010 and Fiscal 2009, respectively.   See Note 1 included in Part II, “Item 8: Financial Statements.”  The identities of our largest customers and their respective contributions to our net sales have varied in the past and will likely continue to vary from period to period.

From time to time, our key customers place large orders causing our quarterly net sales to fluctuate significantly. We expect this trend and resulting fluctuations to continue.

Cost of Sales, Including Gross Profit

Cost of sales includes all direct costs related to the purchase of scanners and imaging modules manufactured in China, and to services related to the delivery of those items.  To a lesser extent, cost of sales also includes engineering services, software royalties and depreciation of manufacturing equipment.  For scanners where the final assembly and test is completed in the U.S., additional labor costs are included.  Although overall cost of sales as a percentage of sales remained steady, it is dependent on, and may vary with, the following factors:

 
·
Mix of products sold;
 
·
Changes to the negotiated prices of our finished product and key components;
 
·
Currency fluctuations between the Chinese Yuan and the U.S. Dollar;
 
·
Customer requirements for third-party software integrated into our products; and
 
·
Changes to the proportion of scanners assembled in the U.S. versus the proportion of scanners assembled in China.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel-related expenses, including stock-based compensation costs, facilities-related expenses and outside professional services such as legal and accounting.
 
The increase in selling, general and administrative expense during Fiscal 2010 compared to Fiscal 2009 was primarily attributable to the following non-recurring expenses incurred during the last two quarters of Fiscal 2010:

 
·
The commencement of a strategic consulting agreement with National Health Media (“NHM”) for purposes of assisting DCT establish contacts and generate sales of DCT’s products to companies specifically in the healthcare industry.  In connection therewith, DCT expensed a non-recurring fee of $400,000 for services provided by NHM during Fiscal 2010.
 
·
Severance expense totaling $246,000 related to a DCT executive who resigned in November 2010.
 
·
Relocation expense totaling $255,000 related to hiring a new DCT executive in November 2010.

Additionally, selling, general and administrative expenses increased as a result of issuing a significant number of new stock options during Fiscal 2010 with shorter-than-customary vesting terms.  Stock-based compensation costs (a non-cash charge) totaled $813,000 during Fiscal 2010 compared to $450,000 during Fiscal 2009.
 
The above increases were partially offset by decreased accounting fees associated with retaining the same independent accounting firm from year to year and decreased legal fees.

As the majority of the increase in selling, general and administrative expense in Fiscal 2010 compared to Fiscal 2009 relates to non-recurring expenses, we expect selling, general and administrative expenses to decrease from Fiscal 2010 levels.

Research and Development Expense

Research and development expense consists primarily of salaries and related costs, including stock-based compensation costs of employees engaged in product research, design and development activities, compliance testing, documentation, prototypes and expenses associated with transitioning the product to production.

Towards the end of Fiscal 2009, we concentrated on bringing our research and development efforts in house by hiring full-time engineers while terminating consultants.  This significantly increased our product development abilities, while minimizing the increase to research and development expenses during Fiscal 2010 compared to Fiscal 2009.

Additionally, research and development expenses increased due to increased stock-based compensation costs (a non-cash charge), which totaled $127,000 during Fiscal 2010 compared to $75,000 during Fiscal 2009.

We anticipate that research and development expense will continue to increase over the long term as a result of the growth of our existing products, new product opportunities and expansion into new markets and technologies. We remain committed to significant research and development efforts to extend our technology leadership in the imaging technology markets.

Total Non-Operating Income (Expense)
 
The most significant component of our non-operating income (expense) during Fiscal 2010 was $733,000 non-cash gain related to the decreased fair value of our stock option liability.  See “Note 8 – Fair Value” in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K.  Generally, DCT will report a non-cash gain during any accounting period in which there is a reported decrease in the value of the Company’s common stock as quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board.   Other, less impactful, components include interest expense on our line of credit, realized loss on foreign currency resulting from the currency fluctuation between the Euro and the US dollar, and a gain realized from the settlement of two lawsuits and other legal issues.
 
Our total non-operating income (expense) during Fiscal 2009 was immaterial to our results of operations.

Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes

DCT generated taxable income during Fiscal 2010.  Although DCT has state and federal net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”), to offset any current year taxable income, the current federal tax expense of $11,000 represents alternative minimum tax as NOLs can only offset 90% of current year taxable income.  Additionally, the State of California legislated the suspension of NOLs for companies with taxable income in excess of $300,000 during 2010.  As such, DCT’s taxable income generated during Fiscal 2010 is fully taxable at the current California statutory tax rate and resulted in state taxes of $91,000.
 
 
- 24 -

 
 
During Fiscal 2009, we recorded a benefit for income taxes resulting from the reversal of conservatively estimated income taxes for Fiscal 2008.

Accretion of Preferred Stock Redemption Value

During Fiscal 2010, we had no preferred stock outstanding.  During Fiscal 2009, our series B convertible redeemable preferred stock (“Series B Stock”) matured on August 7, 2009 (“Maturity Date”).  The $30,000 accretion reported in Fiscal 2009 represents the difference between the accreted value of the Series B Stock at the beginning of Fiscal 2009 and the Maturity Date.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At December 31, 2010, our principal sources of liquidity included cash and cash equivalents of $2,322,000 and an available borrowing capacity of $1,706,000 on our bank line of credit.

The following table summarizes DCT’s cash and cash equivalents, working capital and cash flows as of and for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 (in thousands):

Cash (used) by investing activities
    (72 )     (91 )
Cash provided by financing activities
    1,536       130  

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operations during Fiscal 2010 was primarily a result of our $279,000 net income, $429,000 of net non-cash expenses, and $178,000 net cash used by changes in operating assets and liabilities. Cash used by operations during Fiscal 2009 was primarily a result of our $261,000 net loss, $703,000 of net non-cash expenses and $558,000 net cash used by changes in operating assets and liabilities.

Net non-cash expenses include: depreciation expense, stock-based compensation cost for options, fair value of warrants issued for services rendered, non-cash interest expense, and change in fair value of stock option liability.  The largest change in operating assets and liabilities during Fiscal 2010 was the increased accounts receivable resulting from (i) significantly increased sales during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2010 compared to the same period in 2009, and (i) a cash collections effort which resulted in the early collection of $487,000 during December 2009.  Had we not undertaken this early collection effort, the increase in accounts receivable would have been a $555,000 use of cash, which is more in line with our sales. The remaining changes in operating assets and liabilities during both Fiscal 2010 and Fiscal 2009 were indicative of normal operational fluctuations related to timing of product shipments, trade receivable collections, inventory management, and timing of vendor payments.
 
The most significant change in our operating assets and liabilities in Fiscal 2009 was attributable to the buildup of inventory, which negatively impacted our cash flows from operations, in anticipation of future sales growth.

We had no significant unusual cash outlays related to operating activities during Fiscal 2010 or Fiscal 2009.  We expect future cash provided (used) by operating activities to fluctuate, primarily as a result of fluctuations in our operating results, timing of product shipments, trade receivables collections, inventory management and timing of vendor payments.

Investing Activities

During both Fiscal 2010 and Fiscal 2009, our investing activities were from the purchase of capital equipment, the majority of which was for tooling equipment to support manufacturing, and normal business operations.
 
Financing Activities

During Fiscal 2010, financing activities consisted of (i) $4,000,000 proceeds from the sale of our common stock, less $29,000 of related stock issuance costs, (ii) $2,197,000 cash paid for the repurchase of our common stock, (iii) $225,000 payoff of our line of credit, and (iv) $13,000 loan origination fees.
 
 
- 25 -

 
 
During Fiscal 2009, financing activities consisted of (i) $225,000 draw against our bank line of credit to meet short-term obligations incurred during the normal course of business, (ii) $75,000 cash payment upon the maturity of our preferred stock, and (iii) $20,000 loan origination fees.

Cash and Working Capital Requirements
 
With the $4,000,000 NCR Investment during Fiscal 2010, our financial position and strength significantly improved.  As such, we anticipate using the NCR Investment to enhance our future product offering by developing our core assets and intellectual property and expand into new market segments. We believe the anticipated expansion into these new, but related, market segments will complement our existing business.

We will continue to focus on managing our existing expense infrastructure, which will allow the most productive use of the NCR Investment.

Management believes that current cash and other sources of liquidity are sufficient to fund normal operations through the next 12 months.

Contractual Obligations

(1)As of December 31, 2010, we had a $2,000,000 line of credit (“LOC”).  Borrowings under the LOC are limited to 80% of eligible accounts receivable (as defined in the LOC agreement).  The LOC bears an annual interest rate of prime plus 1.00%.  Interest payments are due monthly and all unpaid interest and principal is due in full on November 15, 2011.  Upon certain events of default (as defined in the LOC agreement), the default variable interest rate increases five percentage points above the interest rate applicable immediately prior to the default.  Additionally, the lender has the right to declare all of the amounts due under the LOC immediately due and payable upon an event of default.

As of December 31, 2010, we were in compliance with all LOC debt covenants and had unused borrowing capacity of $1,706,000.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

At December 31, 2010, we did not have any relationship with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, which other companies have established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. Therefore, we are not materially exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.

Trends

As of December 31, 2010, to the best of our knowledge, no known trends or demands, commitments, events or uncertainties existed, which are likely to have a material effect on our liquidity, except as described in “Note 11: Commitments and Contingencies” in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

ITEM 9A.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based on management’s evaluation (with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”)), as of the end of the period covered by this report, our CEO and CFO have concluded that 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 (“Exchange Act”)), are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Evaluation of Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
 
Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements of financial information. As a result thereof, effective internal control over financial reporting can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Additionally, the evaluation that our management conducted over the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting was made as of a specific date, therefore continued effectiveness in future periods is subject to the risks that our internal controls may become inadequate as a result of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may decline.

Management assessed our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, the end of our fiscal year. Management based its assessment on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Management’s assessment included evaluation of elements such as the design and operating effectiveness of key financial reporting controls, process documentation, accounting policies, and our overall control environment.
 
Based on our assessment, management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of the end of the fiscal year to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. We reviewed the results of management’s assessment with our Board of Directors.
 
Management's report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules established  by the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management's report in this annual report.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our directors and executive officers, as well as persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities, to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in beneficial ownership. Directors, executive officers, and greater than 10% shareholders are required by Securities and Exchange Commission regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely upon a review of copies of Section 16(a) reports and representations received by us from reporting persons, and without conducting any independent investigation of our own, we believe all Forms 3, 4 and 5 were timely filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by such reporting persons during the year ended December 31, 2010.

Board of Directors Meetings and Subcommittees

Attendance at Board Meetings and Annual Shareholders’ Meeting

The Board held seven meetings in 2010. All directors, except for one, attended at least 75% of the meetings of the Board in 2010.  Following each board meeting in 2010, our independent board members met without management present.

Audit Committee and Financial Expert

DCT’s Audit Committee was established on January 20, 2009 with all of DCT’s independent directors.  Subsequent to that date, the Audit Committee began assisting the Board in its general oversight of financial reporting and internal controls, and is responsible for the appointment, retention, compensation, and oversight of the work of our independent registered public accounting firm.  At DCT’s Annual Shareholders’ meeting held on September 14, 2009, our independent financial expert and Audit Committee Chair was not re-elected to our Board of Directors.  From that date until June 8, 2010, when a new financial expert was appointed to our board, our entire Board acted as our Audit Committee.  Effective June 8, 2010, Roseann Larson was appointed our Audit Committee Chair.

ITEM 13.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

During the year ended December 31, 2010, we entered into the following transactions required to be reported under Item 404 of Regulation S-K (“Item 404”):

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

Purchases and Manufacturing of our Product

Historically, we have purchased the majority of our finished scanner imaging products from Shenzhen Syscan Technology (“SST”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Syscan Technology Holdings Limited ("STH").  At December 31, 2010, STH held approximately 15% of DCT’s outstanding common stock.

Purchases from SST totaled $8,521,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010.  All purchases from SST were carried out in the normal course of business.

Net Sales

During the year ended December 31, 2010, we recorded net sales totaling $246,000 for finished scanners sold to SST.  The related cost of goods sold was $207,000.   All sales to SST contained similar terms and conditions as for other transactions of this nature entered into by DCT.

Agreement to License Office Space

On April 26, 2010, we entered into a two-year license agreement (“License”) with Beau Dietl & Associates (“BDA”) to license office space from BDA in New York City.  The purpose of the License is for us to have a physical presence in New York City.  In connection with the License, we paid BDA an upfront license fee of $50,000 as payment in full.  The $50,000 payment was capitalized and is being amortized, using the straight-line method, to selling, general and administrative expense over the term of the License.  In connection with the License, we recorded rent expense of $17,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010, respectively.

The License can be cancelled by either party with 90 days written notice.

New Consulting Agreement

On August 13, 2010, DCT’s board of directors approved a consulting agreement with National Health Media (“NHM”) for purposes of assisting us establish contacts and generate sales of our products to companies specifically in the healthcare industry.  At the time the agreement was executed, the owner of NHM held approximately one percent of DCT’s outstanding common stock, held 1,250,000 options to purchase DCT common stock, and was a consultant to DCT.  As compensation for the agreement, we agreed to pay NHM five percent of sales of our products in excess of $10,000,000 which are directly attributable to introductions made by NHM.  Additionally, we paid NHM $400,000 upon execution of the agreement.  No commissions were incurred or paid in connection with the NHM agreement through December 31, 2010.  The term of the NHM agreement is 48 months and is automatically renewed for one-year periods unless terminated by NHM with 30-days written notice or by us at any time.

Revised Consulting Agreements
 
In July 2008, DCT’s board of directors approved a business advisory and consulting agreement between the Company and each of Richard Dietl (“Dietl Contract”) and Daniel DelGiorno (“DelGiorno Contract”).

In August 2009, DCT’s board of directors approved an amendment to the Dietl Contract, whereby DCT made a one-time cash payment of $30,000 in exchange for the return of 275,000 non-qualified stock options which were originally granted under the Dietl Contract.

In April 2010, DCT’s board of directors approved an amendment to the Dietl Contract and the DelGiorno Contract.  In addition to the services contracted within the original agreements, Mr. Dietl and Mr. DelGiorno will provide investor relations services in exchange for options to purchase up to 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.30 per share.  On the grant date, the total fair value of such options was $435,000 using the Black-Scholes valuation model.  The options vest over a two year period with 50% of such options vesting at the end of the first and second years of the agreement; however, in the event of a change of control in the Company’s securities or assets pursuant to introductions specifically made by Mr. Dietl and Mr. DelGiorno to the Company, all of the options shall immediately vest 100% in conjunction with such event.  A change of control shall be defined as a change of ownership of 50% or more of the Company’s securities, or voting control thereof, or a transfer of more than 50% of the Company’s tangible and/or intangible assets.

During the year ended December 31, 2010, we reimbursed expenses incurred by related-party consultants totaling approximately $4,400.

Director Independence

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Document Capture Technologies, Inc.
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Document Capture Technologies, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Document Capture Technologies, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 – Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

Document Capture Technologies, Inc. ("DCT" or "Company") develops, designs and delivers various imaging technology solutions to all types and sizes of enterprises including governmental agencies, large corporations, small corporations, small office-home offices (“SOHO”) and professional practices, as well as consumers (referred to herein collectively as “Enterprises”). DCT is a market-leader in providing USB-powered scanning solutions to a wide variety of industries and market applications. DCT’s patented and proprietary page-imaging devices facilitate the way information is stored, shared and managed in both business and personal use.

Syscan, Inc. (“Syscan”), DCT’s wholly-owned subsidiary, was incorporated in California in 1995 to develop and manufacture a new generation of contact image sensors (“CIS”) that are complementary metal-oxide-silicon (“CMOS”) imaging sensor devices. During the late 1990s, DCT established many technical milestones and was granted numerous patents for its linear imaging technology. DCT’s patented CIS and mobile imaging scanner technology provides high quality images at extremely low power consumption levels, allowing delivery of compact scanners in a form ideally suited for laptop or desktop computer users who need a small lightweight device to scan or fax documents.

DCT’s business model was developed around intellectual property (“IP”) driven products sold primarily to original equipment manufacturers (“OEM”), private label brands and value added resellers (“VAR”) and can be found in a variety of applications, including but not limited, to the following:

 
·
Bank note and check verification (remote capture deposit or “RDC”);
 
·
Document and information management;
 
·
Identification card scanners;
 
·
Passport security scanners;
 
·
Business card readers;
 
·
Barcode scanning; and
 
·
Optical mark readers used in lottery terminals.

Basis of Financial Statements

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of DCT and its one subsidiary, Syscan.  All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.  DCT’s functional currency is the United States (U.S.) dollar.  As such, DCT does not have any translation adjustments.  Monetary accounts denominated in non-U.S. currencies, such as cash or payables to vendors, have been re-measured to the U.S. dollar.  Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the results of operations.  To date, DCT has not entered into hedging activities to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) 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. Management makes its best estimate of the ultimate outcome for these items based on historical trends and other information available when the financial statements are prepared. Changes in estimates are recognized in accordance with the accounting rules for the estimate, which is typically in the period when new information becomes available to management.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

DOCUMENT CAPTURE TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and highly liquid investments.  DCT considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.  DCT had no cash equivalents at December 31, 2010 or 2009.

Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred financing costs, which are included in other current assets, are costs incurred to obtain debt financing, including all related fees, and are amortized as interest expense over the term of the related financing using the straight-line method which approximates the interest rate method.  See Note 9.

Restricted Cash

As of December 31, 2009, the Company had $5,000 of restricted cash held at a commercial bank, which was collateral for the Company’s customer credit card acceptance program.  During 2010, DCT moved its credit card acceptance account to a different financial institution that does not require collateral.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Under the provisions of the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, there are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
 
Level 1. Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.  DCT had no Level 1 assets or liabilities during any period presented.

Level 2. Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets), or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated with observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.  DCT had no Level 2 assets or liabilities during any period presented.

Level 3.  Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of assets or liabilities.  DCT had no Level 3 assets.  DCT’s Level 3 liabilities include (i) warrant liabilities, (ii) stock option liabilities, and (iii) derivative contracts liabilities.  DCT estimates the fair value of Level 3 liabilities using either the Binomial option pricing model or the Black-Scholes valuation model, depending on the attributes of the liability being measured.
 
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and payables, prepaid expenses and other current assets, amounts due to related parties, and other payables and liabilities approximates fair value due to the short period of time to maturity.

Concentration of Credit Risk and Major Customers

Financial instruments that subject DCT to credit risk are cash balances maintained in excess of federal depository insurance limits and trade receivables.

Cash and Cash Equivalents.  DCT maintains cash balances at several banks. Interest bearing accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") up to $250,000. Non-interest bearing accounts are 100% insured. As of December 31, 2010, DCT had consolidated balances of approximately $1,198,000, which were not guaranteed by FDIC. DCT has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes the exposure is minimal.

Major Customers and Trade Receivables.  A relatively small number of customers account for a significant percentage of DCT’s sales.  The percentage of sales derived from significant customers is as follows:

Customer C
    14       19  
Customer D
    11       **  
Customer E
    **       16  

**Represents less than 10% of sales.

Trade receivables from these customers totaled $2,059,000 at December 31, 2010.  As of December 31, 2010 all DCT's trade receivables were unsecured.  The risk with respect to trade receivables is mitigated by credit evaluations performed on customers and the short duration of payment terms extended to customers.

Concentration of Supplier Risk

Manufacturing.  Historically, DCT has purchased substantially all its finished scanner imaging products from one vendor.  See Note 3.  If this vendor became unable to provide materials in a timely manner and DCT was unable to find alternative vendors, DCT's business, operating results and financial condition would be materially adversely affected.

At the end of January 2010, DCT’s manufacturer announced a relocation of its primary manufacturing facility, currently located in Shenzhen China, to Wuhan, Hubei China. The purpose of the relocation relates directly to an opportunity for the manufacturer to reduce its direct and overhead costs.  At December 31, 2010, the manufacturer was still manufacturing in Shenzhen China.  DCT anticipates the new manufacturing facility to be fully functional by April 2011 and that the relocation will have minimal impact to the manufacturing process and DCT’s operations.

Components.  DCT purchases some controller chips that are sole-sourced, as they are specialized devices.  To date, DCT has been able to obtain adequate component supplies from existing sources.  If in the future DCT became unable to obtain sufficient quantities of required materials, components or subassemblies, or if such items do not meet quality standards, delays or reductions in product shipments could occur, which could harm DCT’s business, operating results and financial condition.

Inventories

Inventories consist of finished goods and components, which are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost computed on a first-in, first-out basis. Provision is made for obsolete, slow-moving or defective items where appropriate. The amount of any provision is recognized as a component of cost of sales in the period the provision occurs.  DCT had no material inventory write offs during the years ended December 31, 2010 or 2009.

Fixed Assets

Fixed assets, stated at cost, are depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line method over periods ranging from three to five years. Significant improvements and betterments are capitalized. Routine repairs and maintenance are expensed when incurred. Gains and losses on disposal of fixed assets are recognized in the Statement of Operations based on the net disposal proceeds less the carrying amount of the assets.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

DCT’s long-lived assets are recorded at fair value only if an impairment charge is recognized.   If indicators of impairment exist, DCT assesses the recoverability of the affected long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets can be recovered through the undiscounted future operating cash flows. If impairment is indicated, DCT measures the amount of such impairment by comparing the assets’ carrying value to the assets’ fair value.  DCT had no impairment losses during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
Preferred Stock Accounting Treatment

Preferred Stock Classification.   DCT’s series B convertible redeemable preferred stock (“Series B Stock”), which matured August 7, 2009, was reported as temporary equity.  The difference between the initial recorded value of the Series B Stock and the minimum redemption value was accreted, on a straight-line basis, from the respective issuance date through the maturity date with the offset booked to DCT’s accumulated deficit.  The accretion of DCT’s Series B Stock redemption value is disclosed as a reconciling item and adjusts DCT’s reported net income (loss) to net income (loss) available to common stockholders.

Revenue Recognition, Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and Returns Allowances

Revenues.  Revenues consist of product sales including the sale of optical image capturing devices, modules of optical image capturing devices, and chips and other optoelectronic products. Revenue is recognized when the product is shipped and the risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the customer. Shipping charges billed to customers are included in net sales and the related shipping costs are included in cost of sales in the period of shipment.

Allowance for doubtful accounts.  DCT presents trade receivables, net of allowances for doubtful accounts and returns, to ensure trade receivables are not overstated due to uncollectible accounts. Allowances, when required, are calculated based on a detailed review of certain individual customer accounts and an estimation of the overall economic conditions affecting DCT’s customer base. DCT reviews a customer’s credit history before extending credit. If the financial condition of its customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. DCT had no allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2010 or 2009 and no material trade receivable write offs during any period presented.

Return allowances.  Historically, sales returns have not been significant.  As such, DCT does not record a reduction to revenue for estimated product returns in the same period that the related revenue is recorded.  DCT’s returns were immaterial for all periods presented.
 
Sales Incentives

In certain instances, DCT offers sales incentives whereby DCT gives customers additional product for certain volume-related purchases.  DCT records the cost of the product-related sales incentives as a cost of sales during the period the incentive is earned.

Product Warranty

As previously discussed, DCT purchases the majority of its finished scanner imaging product from one vendor, who warrants the products against defects in material and workmanship for a period of 18 months after the completion of manufacture. As a result of such product warranty, DCT does not record a product warranty reserve. DCT’s warranty-related expenses were immaterial for all periods presented.
 
Research and Development Expenses

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and were immaterial for all periods presented.

Employee Equity Incentive Programs

DCT has employee equity incentive plans, which are described more fully in “Note 4: Employee Equity Incentive Plans.”  The straight-line attribution method is used to recognize share-based compensation over the service period of the award.

DCT estimates the fair value of the options on the grant date using the Black-Scholes valuation model under the following assumptions:

   
Year Ended December 31,
 
   
2010

Weighted average expected volatility
    272 %     298 %
Expected dividend yield
    0 %     0 %
Weighted average risk free interest rate
    0.97 %     1.49 %

Income Taxes

DCT accounts for income taxes under the liability method of accounting for income taxes.  Current income tax expense or benefit is the amount of income taxes expected to be payable or refundable for the current year. A deferred income tax asset or liability is computed for the expected future impact of differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax credits and loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.   All tax positions are first analyzed to determine if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes.   After the initial analysis, the tax benefit is measured as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.

Note 2 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new standards for revenue recognition with multiple deliverables. These new standards impact the determination of when the individual deliverables included in a multiple-element arrangement may be treated as separate units for accounting purposes. Additionally, these new standards modify the manner in which the arrangement consideration is allocated across the separately identified deliverables by no longer permitting the residual method of allocating arrangement consideration. These new standards are required to be adopted in the first quarter of 2011; however, early adoption is permitted.   DCT does not expect these new standards to significantly impact our consolidated financial statements.
 
In October 2009, the FASB issued new standards for the accounting for certain revenue arrangements that include software. These new standards amend the scope of pre-existing software revenue guidance by removing from the guidance tangible products and certain software. These new standards are required to be adopted in the first quarter of 2011; however, early adoption is permitted. DCT does not expect these new standards to significantly impact our consolidated financial statements.
 
In January 2010, the FASB issued amended standards that require additional fair value disclosures. These disclosure requirements are effective in two phases. In the first quarter of 2010, DCT adopted the requirements for disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value as well as disclosures about significant transfers. Beginning in the first quarter of 2011, these amended standards will require presentation of disaggregated activity within the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). These amended standards do not affect DCT’s consolidated statements of operations or balance sheets.

Note 3 – Related-Party Transactions

Purchases

Historically, the Company has purchased the majority of its finished scanner imaging products from Shenzhen Syscan Technology (“SST”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Syscan Technology Holdings Limited ("STH").  At December 31, 2010, STH held approximately 15% of DCT’s outstanding common stock.
 
 
F-11

 
 
DOCUMENT CAPTURE TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Purchases from SST totaled $8,521,000 and $6,546,000 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  All purchases from SST were carried out in the normal course of business. As a result of these purchases, DCT was liable to SST for $654,000 and $341,000 at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Net Sales

During the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, DCT recorded net sales totaling $246,000 and $72,000, respectively, for finished scanners sold to SST.  The related cost of goods sold was $207,000 and $39,000 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  All sales to SST contained similar terms and conditions as for other transactions of this nature entered into by DCT.  At December 31, 2010, SST owed us $65,000.

Agreement to License Office Space

On April 26, 2010, DCT entered into a two-year license agreement (“License”) with Beau Dietl & Associates (“BDA”) to license office space from BDA in New York City.  The purpose of the License is for DCT to have a physical presence in New York City.  In connection with the License, the Company paid BDA an upfront license fee of $50,000 as payment in full.  The $50,000 payment was capitalized and is being amortized, using the straight-line method, to selling, general and administrative expense over the term of the License.  In connection with the License, DCT recorded rent expense of $17,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010.

The License can be cancelled by either party with 90 days written notice.

Legal Services Agreement

On September 15, 2009, DCT entered into a legal services agreement (“Agreement”) with Jody R. Samuels, a director of the Company.  Pursuant to the Agreement, Mr. Samuels will provide certain legal services to us which will consist of assisting the Company in (i) the preparation of its periodic and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including proxy statements, special and annual meetings of shareholders, (ii) the negotiation of financing and corporate development transactions, (iii) preparation and review of documentation related to financing arrangements and corporate development transactions, (iv) preparing registration statements, and responding to any SEC inquiries/comment letters, (v) documenting corporate governance policies and procedures, and (vi) any other legal matters reasonably within the legal expertise of Mr. Samuels.

Pursuant to the Agreement, Mr. Samuels is paid $4,000 per month for a total of $48,000 and $14,000 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  The Agreement may be cancelled by either party with 30 days prior written notice.

New Consulting Agreement

On August 13, 2010, DCT’s Board of Directors approved a consulting agreement with National Health Media (“NHM”) for purposes of assisting DCT establish contacts and generate sales of DCT’s products to companies specifically in the healthcare industry.   At the time the agreement was executed, the owner of NHM held approximately one percent of DCT’s outstanding common stock, held 1,250,000 options to purchase DCT common stock, and was an existing consultant to DCT.  As compensation for the agreement, DCT agreed to pay NHM five percent of sales of DCT products in excess of $10,000,000 which are directly attributable to introductions made by NHM.  Additionally, DCT paid NHM $400,000 upon execution of the agreement.  DCT recorded selling, general and administrative expense of $400,000 during the year ended December 31, 2010.  No commissions were incurred or paid in connection with the NHM agreement through December 31, 2010.

The term of the NHM agreement is 48 months and is automatically renewed for one-year periods unless terminated by NHM with 30-days written notice or by DCT at any time.

Revised Consulting Agreements
 
In July 2008, DCT’s board of directors approved a business advisory and consulting agreement between the Company and each of Richard Dietl (“Dietl Contract”) and Daniel DelGiorno (“DelGiorno Contract”).

In August 2009, DCT’s board of directors approved an amendment to the Dietl Contract, whereby DCT made a one-time cash payment of $30,000 in exchange for the return of 275,000 non-qualified stock options which were originally granted under the Dietl Contract.

In April 2010, DCT’s board of directors approved an amendment to the Dietl Contract and the DelGiorno Contract.  In addition to the services contracted within the original agreements, Mr. Dietl and Mr. DelGiorno will provide investor relations services in exchange for options to purchase up to 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.30 per share.  On the grant date, the total fair value of such options was $435,000 using the Black-Scholes valuation model.  The options vest over a two year period with 50% of such options vesting at the end of the first and second years of the agreement; however, in the event of a change of control in the Company’s securities or assets pursuant to introductions specifically made by Mr. Dietl and Mr. DelGiorno to the Company, all of the options shall immediately vest 100% in conjunction with such event.  A change of control shall be defined as a change of ownership of 50% or more of the Company’s securities, or voting control thereof, or a transfer of more than 50% of the Company’s tangible and/or intangible assets.

Reimbursed Expenses

During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, DCT reimbursed expenses incurred by related-party consultants totaling approximately $4,400 and $1,000, respectively.

Note 4 – Employee Equity Incentive Plans

General

DCT’s share-based awards are long-term retention plans that are intended to attract, retain and provide incentives for talented employees.  DCT believes its share-based awards are critical to its operation and productivity. The employee share-based award plans allow DCT to grant, on a discretionary basis, incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options.

Stock Options

DCT issues options under four different stock option plans as well as through employment agreements with key employees, executives and consultants (approved by the board of directors on a case-by-case basis).  Options generally vest over two to three years from the date of grant and expire seven years from the date of grant.

Note 6 – Earnings Per Share

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.  Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the period.

Common stock equivalents were not considered in calculating diluted net loss per common share for the year ended December 31, 2009 as their effect would be anti-dilutive.  Common stock equivalents were taken into consideration in calculating diluted net income per common share for the year ended December 31, 2010.   The computation of DCT’s basic and diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2010 is as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Net income available to common shareholders (A)
  $ 279  
         
Weighted average common shares outstanding (B)
    20,581  
Dilutive effect of employee equity incentive plans
    6,412  
Dilutive effect of warrants
    99  
Weighted average common shares outstanding, assuming dilution (C)
    27,092  
         
Basic earnings per common share (A)/(B)
  $ 0.01  
Diluted earnings per common share (A)/(C)
  $ 0.01  
 
The above calculation excluded 7,739,000 of stock options and warrants from the calculation of diluted earnings per common share as the exercise prices of these stock options and warrants were greater than or equal to the market value of the common shares.  Such options and warrants could be included in the calculation in the future if the market value of DCT’s common shares increases and is greater than the exercise price of these options and warrants.

Note 7 – Equity

Common Stock

Common Stock Issuances - 2010

On August 5, 2010 (“Purchase Date”), DCT and NCR Corporation (“NCR”) entered into (i) Share Purchase Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”), (ii) Investor Rights Agreement (“IR Agreement”), and (iii) Voting Agreement (“Voting Agreement”) pursuant to which NCR purchased from DCT 3,861,004 shares (“NCR Shares”) of the Company’s common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $4,000,000 (“Investment”).  Additionally, DCT granted NCR a two-year option (“NCR Option”) to purchase up to an additional $4,000,000 of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.036 per share, subject to adjustment, as more fully described below.  Neither the Shares nor the NCR Option have been registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  However, NCR received demand registration rights, subject to certain limitations, and unlimited piggy-back registration rights with respect to the NCR Shares and any shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of the NCR Option.  DCT will use its best efforts to obtain an effective registration statement.  As such, the Company does not believe that a contingent obligation to make payments or transfer consideration under a registration payment arrangement is probable.  The registration rights terminate when all of the NCR Shares and any shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of the NCR Option may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without restriction or limitation, or, if earlier, on the fifth anniversary of the Purchase Date.

The Investment has anti-dilution protection for eighteen months following the date of the IR Agreement.  Under the anti-dilution provisions, unless waived by NCR, issuances or deemed issuances of Common Stock with an effective price that is less than $1.036 (as adjusted), would result in the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock, determined on a full ratchet basis, to NCR.  See Note 8.

The NCR Option is exercisable at any time or from time to time for two years from the Purchase Date. The exercise price of the NCR Option is subject to adjustment for stock splits or combinations; dividends or distributions payable in shares of Common Stock; reclassifications, exchanges or substitutions; and reorganizations, mergers, consolidations or sales of assets.  The exercise price of the NCR Option is also subject to adjustment, on a full ratchet basis, for issuances or deemed issuances of Common Stock with an effective price that is less than the NCR Option exercise price then in effect.  See Note 8.

The Voting Agreement is between DCT, NCR and certain investors of DCT. Under the Voting Agreement, NCR was granted the right to appoint a board observer to attend meetings of DCT’s Board of Directors in a nonvoting observer capacity.  NCR was also granted the right, at its discretion, to designate a member of DCT’s Board of Directors.  In the event of any such designation, the DCT stockholders who are party to the Voting Agreement agreed to vote their shares of DCT stock to elect NCR’s designee.  Such stockholders also agreed that, at NCR’s request, they would not sell their shares of DCT’s stock for up to 180 days following the effective date of a final prospectus covering the resale of DCT’s stock by NCR.

Under the provisions of the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815, Derivatives and Hedging, the anti-dilution feature of the NCR Shares is a derivative instrument that requires bifurcation from the host contract and is recorded at fair value as a derivative liability.  The fair value of the anti-dilution feature of the NCR Shares was calculated using a custom Binomial option pricing model.  The approach and inputs were:

 
·
Developed a custom Binomial Model for the remaining term on the options.
 
·
Price movement in Total Shareholder Value of DCT was modeled using Cox, Ross and Rubinstein (“CRR”) method.
 
o
Volatility was derived from historical volatility for DCT and calculated over the respective remaining term of the derivative.
 
·
Estimated probability of a financing event taking place at each node.
 
o
Reviewed relationship between future equity fund raising and level of cash and other liquid instruments.
 
o
Used DCT’s financial projections to estimate probability of an equity financing event at each node.
 
·
Calculated the price of penultimate nodes based on value of full ratchet, weighted by the probability of a financing event at the node.
 
·
Risk-free interest rate was 0.42%.
 
·
Propagated values up the binomial tree to model an American Option with early exercise feature.
 
Based on the above, the anti-dilution feature of the NCR Shares was de minimis at the Purchase Date and at December 31, 2010.

DOCUMENT CAPTURE TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
Under the provisions of ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, a financial instrument is a liability if the number of shares used to calculate the settlement amount is not fixed.  If a financial instrument’s terms provide for any potential adjustment, regardless of the probability of such adjustment(s) or whether such adjustments are in the entity's control, the settlement amount is not fixed.  As the NCR Option contains a price protection provision (or down-round provision) that reduces the option’s strike price in the event the Company issues additional shares at a more favorable price than the strike price, the NCR Option is recognized at fair value as a liability.  The fair value of the NCR Option was estimated using a custom Binomial option pricing model with the following assumptions: 0.42% risk-free interest rate, expected volatility of 162%, expected dividend yield of 0%, and remaining life equal to the remaining contractual life of the option.  Estimated fair value, on the Purchase Date, was $1,544,000.  As such, of the $4,000,000 proceeds received from NCR, $1,544,000 was booked as a stock option liability and the remaining proceeds were booked as stockholders’ equity.
 
During August 2010, DCT issued 180,822 shares of common stock upon the cashless exercise of warrants.  In connection with the cashless exercise, 434,178 warrants were cancelled.

Common Stock Issuances - 2009

During the first quarter of 2009, DCT issued 25,000 shares of restricted common shares to a consultant for investor relations services.  The common shares have piggyback registration rights to the next registration statement filed by DCT.  DCT amortized the estimated fair value of the common shares ratably over the service period.  Accordingly, $11,000 was charged to selling, general and administrative expense and credited to additional paid-in capital during the year ended December 31, 2009.

During the third quarter of 2009, DCT issued 187,500 shares of common stock in connection with the maturity of DCT’s Series B Stock.  See further discussion below.

During the third quarter of 2009, DCT issued 750,000 shares of common stock in exchange for warrants to purchase 650,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and the related put option of $350,000.  In connection with the exchange, DCT de-recognized the $350,000 warrant put option liability and recorded the offset to additional paid in capital.  There was no gain or loss associated with the exchange.

Common Stock Repurchases

During the third quarter of 2010, DCT’s board of directors authorized DCT to repurchase (“DCT Stock Repurchase Plan”) and retire $2,500,000 of its common stock in open market transactions or privately negotiated transactions pursuant to Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Under this authorization, DCT repurchased 2,969,000 shares of common stock at a total cost of $2,197,000 through December 31, 2010.  DCT subsequently retired the shares.  As such, the Company accounted for the repurchase shares by recording a reduction to common stock and additional paid-in capital for the total cost.
 
The authorization does not have an expiration date, does not require DCT to purchase a specific number of shares and may be modified, suspended or terminated at any time.

Preferred Stock

During the year ended December 31, 2009, DCT recorded $30,000 of accretion of preferred stock redemption value associated with its Series B Stock, which matured August 7, 2009.

Series B Stock Maturity

On August 7, 2009 (the "Series B Stock Redemption Date"), all of DCT’s outstanding Series B Stock was redeemed for a per share redemption price equal to the principal value on the Series B Stock Redemption Date (the "Series B Stock Redemption Price").  The Series B Stock Redemption Price was payable either in cash or in shares of common stock at DCT’s sole discretion.  DCT elected to pay the Series B Stock Redemption Price as follows:

Common Stock Warrants

Common Stock Warrants Issued for Consulting Services

In certain instances, DCT issues warrants to consultants for consulting services.  DCT issued warrants to purchase 620,000 shares of DCT common stock during the year ended December 31, 2010.  DCT did not issue any warrants for consulting services during the year ended December 31, 2009.  The initial value of such warrants was calculated using the Black-Scholes valuation model using the following assumptions:

Contractual Term
    2.0  
Weighted average expected volatility
    175 %
Weighted average expected dividend yield
    0 %
Weighted average risk free interest rate
    0.61 %

The total fair value of warrant issued during the year ended December 31, 2010 was $229,000.  DCT amortizes the fair value of the warrants ratably over the consulting agreement.  Accordingly, $74,000 (for warrants granted in 2010 with services rendered in 2010) and $100,000 (for warrants granted in 2008 with services rendered in 2009) was charged to selling, general and administrative expense and credited to additional paid-in capital during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  At December 31, 2010, DCT had approximately $155,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to such warrants. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2 years.

Note 8 – Fair Value

Under the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, the NCR Option (see Note 7) is adjusted to its fair value at the end of each reporting period using the Binomial option pricing model.  As of December 31, 2010, DCT estimated the fair value using the following assumptions: 0.61% risk-free interest rate, expected volatility of 118%, expected dividend yield of 0%, and remaining life equal to the remaining contractual life of the option.  The change in fair value each period is reported as non-operating gain or loss. Generally, this accounting treatment will result in a reported loss during any accounting period in which there is a reported increase in the value of the Company’s common stock as quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. Conversely, this accounting treatment generally will result in a reported gain during any accounting period in which there is reported decrease in the value of the Company’s common stock as quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board.

The NCR Option fair value is measured using Level 3 inputs, unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value, as defined by ASC 820.

The following table summarizes the changes in Level 3 liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 (in thousands):

Note 9 – Bank Line of Credit

Bank Line of Credit - 2009

During September 2009, DCT replaced its $3,000,000 existing line of credit (“LOC”) with a similar $2,000,000 LOC with a different commercial bank.  Borrowings under the LOC were limited to 75% of eligible accounts receivable less the aggregate face amount of all outstanding letters of credit, cash management services, and foreign exchange contracts (all as defined in the LOC agreement).  The LOC bore an annual interest rate of prime plus 2.00%, with a minimum interest rate of 4%.  Upon certain events of default (as defined in the LOC agreement), the interest rate increased to five percentage points above the interest rate applicable immediately prior to the default.  Additionally, the lender had the right to declare all of the amounts due under the LOC immediately due and payable upon an event of default.  Interest payments were due monthly and all unpaid interest and principal were due in full on September 2, 2010.

In connection with the 2009 LOC origination, DCT paid the lender a loan origination fee and legal fees which totaled approximately $20,000, and issued a warrant to purchase 68,027 shares of DCT’s Common Stock at $0.588 per share.   The loan origination fee and legal fees were recorded as deferred financing costs included in other current assets, and were amortized over the life of the loan to interest expense.  The $35,000 fair value of the warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model with the following assumptions: remaining contractual term of 7 years, 2.9% risk-free interest rate, expected volatility of 406% and expected dividend yield of 0%.  The fair value of the warrants was initially recorded as debt discount, with an offset to additional paid in capital, and was amortized over the life of the loan to interest expense.

Bank Line of Credit - 2010
 
During March 2010, DCT amended its existing LOC to increase the borrowing base as follows:  (i) increase the percentage of borrowings from 75% to 80% of eligible accounts receivable, and (ii) add 40% of eligible inventory (all as defined in the LOC agreement) to the borrowing base.  In connection with increasing the amendment, DCT paid the lender a loan modification fee of $6,000, which was recorded as deferred financing costs and amortized over the life of the loan to interest expense.

During August 2010, DCT extended the maturity date of its $2,000,000 LOC to November 1, 2010.  As part of the extension, the borrowing base was modified to only include borrowings against 80% of eligible accounts receivable (as defined in the LOC agreement).  The inventory borrowing base was not extended as DCT does not require the borrowing capacity.  In connection with extension, DCT paid the lender a loan modification fee of $2,000, which was recorded as deferred financing costs and amortized over the life of the loan extension to interest expense.

During November 2010, DCT amended its LOC (“Amended LOC”).  The Amended LOC lowers the annual interest rate from prime plus 2.75% to prime plus 1.0% and extends the maturity date to November 15, 2011.  All other significant terms and conditions remain unchanged.

In connection with the Amended LOC, DCT paid the lender a fee of $5,000, which was recorded as deferred financing costs and is being amortized over the life of the loan to interest expense.

As of December 31, 2010, DCT was in compliance with all Amended LOC debt covenants and had unused borrowing capacity of $1,706,000.   

Interest Expense Related to Amortization of Warrant Fair Values and Loan Origination Fee

During the year ended December 31, 2010, DCT recorded interest expense totaling $45,000 of which $23,000 was non-cash and related to the LOC warrants, and $22,000 related to amortization of deferred financing costs. 

During the year ended December 31, 2009, DCT recorded interest expense totaling $18,000 of which $12,000 was non-cash and related to the LOC warrants, and $6,000 related to amortization of deferred financing costs.

As of December 31, 2010 DCT has estimated available net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $8,162,000 and $5,100,000 for federal and state income tax purposes, respectively, which begin to expire in 2011 and 2012, respectively. Pursuant to Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code, the utilization of net operating losses (“NOL”) and other tax attributes may be subject to substantial limitations if certain ownership changes occur during a three-year testing period (as defined). During the year ended December 31, 2008 management analyzed changes to DCT’s ownership and estimated the impact of such changes to DCT’s NOLs.  The aforementioned NOLs are based on management’s estimates and are limited to an annual limitation of approximately $500,000 per year.  During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, DCT did not have any ownership changes that limit NOLs.

DCT believes sufficient uncertainty exists regarding the realization of net operating loss carryforwards and other timing differences for the periods presented. Accordingly, a valuation allowance has been provided for the entire amount related thereto. The valuation allowance decreased by approximately $12,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010 and increased by approximately $49,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Effective at the beginning of 2007, DCT adopted standards that changed the accounting for uncertain tax positions. The implementation of these standards did not result in a cumulative effect adjustment to the Company’s accumulated deficit.  As of the date of adoption, the Company had no unrecognized income tax benefits. Accordingly, the annual effective tax rate was not affected.  Should the Company incur interest and penalties relating to tax uncertainties, such amounts would be classified as a component of interest expense and operating expense, respectively.
 
At December 31, 2010, the Company had no increase or decrease in unrecognized income tax benefits for the year. There was no accrued interest or penalties relating to tax uncertainties at December 31, 2010. Unrecognized tax benefits are not expected to increase or decrease within the next twelve months.
 
The Company is subject to income tax in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and California.  DCT is no longer subject to U.S. federal or state income tax examination by tax authorities for tax returns filed for the years ended on or before December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.  DCT has not filed its U.S. federal or state return for the year ended December 31, 2010.  These returns are considered open tax years as of the date of these consolidated financial statements.  No tax returns are currently under examination by any tax authorities.

During the second quarter of 2009, the Company entered into an OEM agreement (“OEM Agreement”) with a customer to sell scanners.  The OEM Agreement was subsequently amended to include product development (“Development Agreement”).  To date, DCT has only sold product under the OEM Agreement.  During July 2010, the Development Agreement was cancelled by DCT’s customer.  DCT will continue to sell product under the OEM Agreement.   Each party shall retain its rights in any intellectual property rights owned or licensed to it prior to commencement of development.  All intellectual property (“IP”) developed by DCT under the Development Agreement will be owned exclusively by DCT, except for specific parts and mechanism designs provided by the customer.

During the year ended December 31, 2010, DCT recognized $36,000 of revenue originally deferred until product under the Development Agreement was sold.  Management does not believe the cancellation of the Development Agreement will have a material impact on DCT’s results of operations.
 
Litigation, Claims and Assessments
 
DCT experiences routine litigation in the normal course of its business and does not believe that any pending litigation will have a material adverse effect on DCT's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
 
Note 12 – Employee Benefits
