1. Global aircraft manufacturer ONE Aviation has announced the selection of the ALTEOS electronically dimmable window (EDW) by PPG using SPD-SmartGlass technology for its new Eclipse 700 aircraft. This is the first announced project from the partnership between PPG and Research Frontiers'' licensee Vision Systems that was announced in May of this year.
2. The Company''s fee income from licensing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $741,295 as compared to $653,564 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 representing a $87,731 increase between these two periods. This increase was principally the result of higher revenues from licensees in the aircraft, architectural, automotive and marine sectors as well as revenue from a new licensee focused on the transparent display sector.
The Company expects that lower pricing of the Company''s technology could expand the market opportunities, adoption rates, and revenues for its technology in automotive and non-automotive applications. The Company is working with all levels of licensees in the supply chain to further reduce the cost of final products using the Company''s technology.
Operating expenses decreased by $279,060 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 to $1,773,036 from $2,052,096 for the six months ended June 30, 2016. This decrease was principally the result of lower patent and patent litigation costs as well as lower payroll and related costs and lower investor relations and marketing costs.
Research and development expenditures decreased by $500,446 to $413,343 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 from $913,789 for the six months ended June 30, 2016. This decrease was principally the result of lower payroll costs.
