Since 2007 the Company has been focused primarily on the development of a proprietary technology which is capable of uniquely identifying and authenticating almost any substance using light at the “photon” level to detect the unique digital “signature” of the substance. The Company calls this its “ChromaID™” technology. In 2010, the Company acquired TransTech Systems, Inc. as an adjunct to its business. TransTech is a distributor of products for employee and personnel identification. TransTech currently provides substantially all of the Company’s revenues. The Company is in the process of commercializing its ChromaID™ technology. To date, the Company has entered into License Agreements with Sumitomo Precision Products Co., Ltd. and Intellicheck, Inc. In addition, it has a strategic relationship with Xinova., formerly Invention Development Management Company, a subsidiary of Intellectual Ventures. The Company believes that its commercialization success is dependent upon its ability to significantly increase the number of customers that are purchasing and using its products. To date the Company has generated minimal revenue from sales of its ChromaID products. The Company is currently not profitable. Even if the Company succeeds in introducing the ChromaID technology and related products to its target markets, the Company may not be able to generate sufficient revenue to achieve or sustain profitability. ChromaID was invented by scientists from the University of Washington under contract with Visualant. The Company has pursued an intellectual property strategy and have been granted ten patents.
