Key Comments:

The Company’s fee income from licensing activities decreased slightly as a result of two factors (1) lower to flat economic activity in the various industries that use the Company’s SPD-SmartGlass technology, and (2) timing differences due to how revenues are recorded from an accounting standpoint.

The Company expects revenue in all market segments to increase beginning later this year as new car models and other products using the Company’s SPD-SmartGlass technology are introduced into the market.

Total expenses decreased by $21,250, or approximately 3%, for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the same period last year. 2021 was the seventh consecutive year that expenses were lower than the year before at Research Frontiers and this trend continued in the first quarter of 2022.

The Company’s net loss was $628,348 ($0.02 per common share) for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 as compared to $557,307 ($0.02 per common share) for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

As of March 31, 2022, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2.5 million and working capital of approximately $3.0 million. The Company expects to have sufficient working capital for at least the next 23 months of operations.

This year, new products using the Company’s SPD-Smart light control technology were featured at the CES Consumer Electronics Show including automotive and consumer electronics applications, and a new aircraft model debuted in early April using electronically dimmable windows.
