NOTE 1 -       BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations.  The information furnished in the interim condensed financial statements includes normal recurring adjustments and reflects all adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements.  Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2010.

COPsync, Inc. (“the Company”) operates as a software provider that not only enhances productivity and quality of work, but creates a safer work environment for the public safety community by developing the first real-time, nationwide public safety information sharing network.

On April 8, 2008, the Company amended its Certificate of Incorporation to implement a 15-for-1 forward stock split. The accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto have been adjusted accordingly to reflect this forward stock split.  On April 17, 2008, the Company again amended its Certificate of Incorporation to increase its authorized shares of common stock from 50,000,000 to 500,000,000, and authorize 1,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001.  On September 2, 2009, the Certificate of Incorporation was amended again and restated to reduce the number of authorized Series A Preferred Stock to 100,000, to designate the rights and privileges of the Series A Preferred Stock, and to give the Company’s Board of Directors the authority to authorize additional series of preferred stock.  On October 14, 2009, the Certificate of Incorporation was amended again through a Certificate of Designations, authorizing and designating a new series of 400,000 of Series B Preferred Stock.

On April 25, 2008, the Company entered into an acquisition agreement with PostInk Technology, LP (“PostInk”) and RSIV, LLC (the general partner of PostInk) to acquire 100% of the ownership interests in PostInk. On the closing date, the Company issued 25,000,005 shares (post forward stock split) of its common stock, 100,000 shares of its Series A Preferred Shares and warrants to purchase 74,423,069 shares (post forward stock split) of its common stock, in exchange for 100% of PostInk.  The acquisition agreement also called for the cancellation of 29,388,750 shares of common stock held by the Company’s existing stockholders, but only 26,638,750 shares were actually turned over for cancellation.  During the year ended December 31, 2009, an additional 1,000,000 of the remaining shares were recovered by the Company and were cancelled.

The shares issued in the acquisition resulted in the owners of PostInk having operating control of the Company immediately following the acquisition, as the owners of PostInk exercised control over a majority of the Company’s shares.  Therefore, this acquisition has been accounted for in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as a reverse acquisition, with PostInk becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.  These consolidated financial statements represent a continuation of PostInk, not COPsync, Inc. (formerly, Global Advance Corporation), the legal parent company.  PostInk is treated as the accounting acquirer for accounting purposes and COPsync, Inc. is the acquirer for legal purposes. The historical financial statements presented are those of PostInk rather than COPsync, Inc. prior to the acquisition and consolidated post acquisition.

NOTE 2 -
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Revenue Recognition

The Company applies the revenue recognition provisions pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605.10, Revenue Recognition (“ASC 605”) (formerly SAB Topic 13A), which provides guidance on the recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in financial statements filed with the SEC.  The guidance outlines the basic criteria that must be met to recognize the revenue and provides guidance for disclosure related to revenue recognition policies.

The Company's sales arrangements include multiple deliverables as defined in ASC 605-25, Multiple-Element Arrangements (“ASC 605-25”) (formerly Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 00-21 (EITF 00-21), Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables) which typically include computer hardware, hardware installation, license fees, and other miscellaneous revenues related to training and interface development.  Certain transactions have multiple deliverables, with the deliverables clearly defined. To the extent that the secondary deliverables are other than perfunctory, the Company recognizes the revenue on each deliverable, if separable, or on the completion of all deliverables, if not separable, based on the allocation of the deliverables fair value, all in a manner consistent with ASC 605-25.

NOTE 2 -
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Revenue Recognition (Continued)

In general, the Company recognizes revenue related to licensing fees on a monthly basis, over the life of the licensing agreement, and when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (iii) the fee is fixed or determinable and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.

In addition, the Company recognizes revenue related to hardware sales, installation of hardware, training, and other related revenue items when the hardware is delivered and installed, and collection is reasonably assured.  Refundable fees are not recognized as revenue until the refund terms have expired.

Per the terms of the hardware sales and licensing agreements, generally the entire amount of the hardware sales, installation charges, other miscellaneous revenues, and license fees are received by the Company at the beginning of the contract, which funds are then used to purchase the related hardware and software needed.  Accordingly, at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company had received a total of $1,063,700 and $629,616, respectively, of which only $311,124 and $96,323 has been recorded as earned revenue. The remaining amount of $752,576 and $533,293 as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, has been recorded as deferred revenue on hardware, installation and licensing agreements, which will be recognized as revenue once the hardware is installed and over the remaining term of the licensing agreements, as earned.

Loss Per Share

In accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260”) (formerly SFAS No. 128), the computations of basic loss per share of common stock are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period of the consolidated financial statements.

The computations of basic and fully diluted loss per share of common stock are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period of the consolidated financial statements, plus the common stock equivalents which would arise from the exercise of stock options and warrants outstanding during the period, or the exercise of convertible debentures. Common stock equivalents, totaling 9,170,000 shares pursuant to the convertible debentures, 19,039,800 shares pursuant to outstanding warrants, 3,150,000 pursuant to employee options, and 90,000,000 shares pursuant to the conversion of preferred shares as of March 31, 2010, have not been included because they are anti-dilutive.

Following is a reconciliation of the loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively:

NOTE 2 -
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 
Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”) (formerly SFAS No. 109).  Under this accounting standard, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the bases of certain assets and liabilities for income tax and financial reporting purposes.  The deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified according to the financial statement classification of the assets and liabilities generating the differences. The Company maintains a valuation allowance with respect to deferred tax assets.

 
ASC 740 requires a company to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based upon the technical merits of the position. If the more-likely-than-not threshold is met, a company must measure the tax position to determine the amount to recognize in the consolidated financial statements. As a result of the implementation of ASC 740, the Company performed a review of its material tax positions in accordance with and measurement standards established by ASC 740. At the adoption date of January 1, 2007, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefit which would affect the effective tax rate if recognized. There has been no significant change in the unrecognized tax benefit through March 31, 2010.  The Company also estimates that the unrecognized tax benefit will not change significantly within the next twelve months.

The Company establishes a valuation allowance based upon the potential likelihood of realizing the deferred tax asset and taking into consideration the Company’s financial position and results of operations for the current period.  Future realization of the deferred tax benefit depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income within the carryforward period under the Federal tax laws.

Changes in circumstances, such as the Company generating taxable income, could cause a change in judgment about the realizability of the related deferred tax asset.  Any change in the valuation allowance will be included in income in the year of the change in estimate.

 
There are no tax positions included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements at March 31, 2010 or December 31, 2009 for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility. Because of the impact of deferred tax accounting, other than interest and penalties, the disallowance of the shorter deductibility period would not affect the annual effective tax rate but would accelerate the payment of cash to the taxing authority to an earlier period.

 
As the Company has significant net operating loss carry forwards, even if certain of the Company’s tax positions were disallowed, it is not foreseen that the Company would have to pay any taxes in the near future.  Consequently, the Company does not calculate the impact of interest or penalties on amounts that might be disallowed.

 
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal and Texas jurisdictions.  Tax years 2008 to current remain open to examination by U.S. federal and state tax authorities.

From inception through December 31, 2009, the Company had incurred net losses and, therefore, had no tax liability.  The net deferred tax asset generated by the loss carryforward has been fully reserved.  The cumulative net operating loss carryforward is approximately $3,670,000 at December 31, 2009, and will expire in the years 2026 through 2029.

Software Development Costs

The Company capitalizes software development costs in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 985, Accounting for Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed (“ASC 985”) (formerly SFAS No. 86) under which certain software development costs incurred subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility may be capitalized and amortized over the estimated lives of the related products.

The Company determines technological feasibility to be established upon completion of (1) product design, (2) detail program design, (3) consistency between product and program design and (4) review of detail program design to ensure that high risk development issues have been resolved. Upon the general release of the product to customers, development costs for that product are amortized over fifteen years, based on management’s estimated economic life of the product.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Software Development Costs (Continued)

Software development costs as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, are as follows:
 
 
   
March 31,
2010
   
December 31,
2009
 
    (Unaudited)        
             
 Capitalized software development costs   $ 2,643,157     $ 2,565,940  
 Accumulated amortization     (2,63,331 )     (220,565 )
                 
 Total   $ 2,379,826     $ 2,345,375  
 
Amortization expense related to these costs was $42,766 and $36,522 for the quarters ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  The Company has not recorded any impairments on the capitalized software developments costs as of March 31, 2010 or December 31, 2009.

Concentrations of Risk - Major Supplier

Approximately 89% of the Company’s cost of revenues – hardware costs for the three months ended March 31, 2010 relates to hardware purchased from a single supplier.  The Company could be adversely affected by the termination of this supplier relationship, although management of the Company believes that there are other vendors available to supply the Company if this were to happen.

A significant portion of the Company’s revenues are generated through police and sheriff departments that are subject to governmental budget processes.  The Company may be adversely affected by possible governmental budget cuts and/or economic instability.  The effect of these factors, however, cannot be accurately predicted.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company has adopted ASC 820-10-50, Fair Value Measurements. This guidance defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels are defined as follows: Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 3 inputs to valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair measurement.

The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying balance sheets as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 for the cash and cash equivalents, and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest. The carrying value of notes payable approximates fair value because negotiated terms and conditions are consistent with current market rates as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

Preferred Stock Issuances with Beneficial Conversion Features

In accordance with ASC 470-20-30, the Company uses the effective conversion price of preferred shares issued based on the proceeds received to compute the intrinsic value of the embedded conversion feature on preferred stock issuances with detachable warrants.  The Company allocated the proceeds received from the Series B Preferred stock issuance and the detachable warrants included in the exchange on a relative fair value basis.  The Company then calculated an effective conversion price and used that price to measure the intrinsic value of the embedded conversion option.  The Series B Preferred shares may be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at a ratio of 40-to-1.  The detachable warrants are exercisable at $0.20 per share.

NOTE 3 -        CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company received a total of $420,000 from an entity affiliated with a related individual pursuant to a series of convertible notes payable. The notes bear interest at 9% per annum, are due on demand, and are convertible into common stock at $0.05 per share.  Accrued interest on these notes payable at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 totaled $69,802 and $60,352, respectively.  (See also Note 9 regarding litigation involved with the entity that holds these $420,000 in convertible notes payable).

During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company received a total of $362,000 from unrelated individuals and an entity affiliated with a related individual pursuant to a series of convertible notes payable.  These notes bear interest at rates between 2.5% and 10% per annum, are due between March 31, 2011 and July 23, 2011, with one due on demand, and are convertible into common stock at either $0.10 or $0.20 per share.

During the year ended December 31, 2009, $266,730 ($250,000 in principal and $16,730 in interest) of these convertible notes was converted into 2,667,300 shares of common stock, due to an agreement from the Company to induce the note holders to convert.  During the three months ended March 31, 2010, an additional $10,866 ($10,000 in principal and $866 in interest) was converted into 108,660 shares of common stock, with the same agreement from the Company to induce the note holder to convert.  These inducements allowed the notes to convert at $0.10 per share, rather than the stated conversion price of $0.20 per share, thus creating an induced conversion expense of $4,346 and $106,692 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.  Accrued interest on the remaining $102,000 convertible notes payable at March 31, 2010 totaled $4,147.  (See also Note 9 regarding litigation involved with the entity that holds $52,000 of the $102,000 convertible notes payable mentioned in this paragraph).

The convertible notes have been accounted for pursuant to ASC 470, Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratio (formerly EITF Issue No. 98-5), and ASC 470, Application of EITF Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments (formerly EITF Issue No. 00-27).  Pursuant to the terms of the convertible note received in 2008, no beneficial conversion feature was recorded.  However, pursuant to the terms of the new convertible notes received during 2009, a beneficial conversion feature was recorded for the year ended December 31, 2009, totaling $260,000, which is amortized over the term of the notes, or two years, except for one note where the entire discount was recorded as interest expense on the date of the note because the note has no determined maturity date.  However, since certain of these notes were converted into common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2010 and the year ended December 31, 2009, the remaining discount on these notes was fully amortized.  The unamortized note discount on the remaining $102,000 in convertible notes payable as of March 31, 2010 is $33,336.

Convertible notes payable are summarized as follows:
 
 Total convertible notes payable    $ 522,000  
 Less: unamortized note discount      (33,336 )
         
 Convertible notes payable, net     488,664  
 Less: current portion        (472,000 )
         
 Convertible notes payable, net, long-term portion   $ 16,664  
 

NOTE 4 -        PREFERRED STOCK

Pursuant to the acquisition agreement previously discussed in Note 1, the Company issued a total of 100,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock.  After the designations of that series was established by amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation, each share of Series A Preferred Stock is now convertible into one share of common stock, but has voting rights on a basis of 750 votes per share.

During 2009, the Company completed a private placement of its equity securities in which the Company raised an additional $1,450,000 in gross proceeds.  During the three months ended March 31, 2010, an additional $50,000 was raised.  Pursuant to these private placements, the Company issued 375,000 shares of the Company’s newly designated Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, which Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into a total of 15,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.  In addition, as part of the private placement, the Company granted warrants to purchase an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares of common stock.

NOTE 4 -
PREFERRED STOCK (Continued)

The Series B preferred stock and the warrants were sold as a unit, with each investor receiving eight warrants to purchase one share of common stock for every share of Series B stock purchased.  The purchase price for each unit was $4.00 per share of Series B stock purchased.

In accordance with ASC 470-20-30, the Company uses the effective conversion price of preferred shares issued based on the proceeds received to compute the intrinsic value of the embedded conversion feature on preferred stock issuances with detachable warrants.  The Company allocated the proceeds received from the Series B Preferred stock issuance and the detachable warrants included in the exchange on a relative fair value basis.  The Company then calculated an effective conversion price and used that price to measure the intrinsic value of the embedded conversion option.  During 2009, as a result of this calculation, the Company recorded a discount on this Series B preferred stock issuance, totaling $522,950, based on the beneficial conversion feature and the valuation of the 2,900,000 warrants granted.  This discount is being amortized over the earliest conversion period, which is 90 days.  An additional discount was recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2010 of $18,033 as a result of the beneficial conversion feature on the additional 12,500 shares of preferred stock issued, along with the valuation of the additional 100,000 warrants granted.  This discount is being amortized over the earliest conversion period, which is also 90 days. Accordingly, for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and for the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company recorded accretion of these discounts (recorded as a Series B preferred stock deemed dividend from the beneficial conversion feature), totaling $87,759 and $453,224, respectively.

The 3,000,000 warrants granted have an exercise price of $0.20 per share and expire on October 14, 2011.  The exercise price and the number of shares of common stock purchasable upon exercise of the warrants are subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events, including, but not limited to: i) stock dividends, stock splits or reverse stock splits; ii) the payment of dividends on the common stock payable in shares of common stock or securities convertible into common stock; iii) a recapitalization, reorganization or reclassification involving the common stock, or a consolidation or merger of the Company; or iv) a liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

Also in connection with the private placements, the Company agreed to use its best efforts to effect a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission registering the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock and upon exercise of the warrants, upon the request of the holders of a majority of those shares after the second anniversary of the date of the private placement closing.  It also provides for the investors to have “piggyback” registration rights to include their shares in future registrations with the SEC by the Company of the issuance or sale of its securities.  An investor’s right to request a registration or inclusion of shares in a registration terminates on the date that such investor may immediately sell all of the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock and upon exercise of the warrants held by such investor under Rule 144 or Rule 145 promulgated under the Securities Act.  The agreement also grants to the investors a right of first refusal to purchase all, but not less than all, of certain new securities the Company may, from time to time, propose to sell after the date of the private placement agreement, and also contains certain covenants relating to the Company’s Board of Directors and requiring the Company to retain patent counsel.

The newly designated Series B Preferred Stock issued in this private placement will i) accrue dividends at a rate of 7.0% per annum, payable in preference to the common stock or any other capital stock of the Company, ii) will have a preference in liquidation, or deemed liquidation, to receive the initial investment in the Series B Stock, plus accrued and unpaid dividends, iii) is convertible into 40 shares of common stock, subject to adjustments for issuances by the Company of common stock less than $0.10 per share, and iv) has the right to elect one member of the Company’s Board of Directors.  The Company has recorded accrued dividends as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 of $47,466 and $21,690, respectively, on the Series B Preferred Stock.

NOTE 5 -       OUTSTANDING WARRANTS

As previously discussed, under the terms of the April 2008 acquisition agreement, the Company agreed to issue to an entity warrants to purchase 15,000,000 shares of its common stock, exercisable at $0.05 per share and expiring on April 1, 2012, as repayment of a purported loan.  Because the Company believes that these warrants were issued as the result of fraud and without consideration, since the purported loan was never funded, the Company disputes the validity of the warrants and is seeking their cancellation.  (See also Note 9 regarding litigation involved with the entity that received these warrants).  In addition, pursuant to certain private placements at $0.40 per share, the Company also granted warrants to purchase a total of 264,800 shares of common stock to the investors, exercisable at $0.60 per share, which expired on March 1, 2010.  The Company estimates the fair value of each stock award at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model pursuant to ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (ASC 718), (formerly SFAS No. 123R), which model requires the use of exercise behavior data and the use of a number of assumptions including volatility of the Company’s stock price, the weighted average risk-free interest rate, and the weighted average expected life of the warrants.  Because the Company does not pay dividends, the dividend rate variable in the Black-Scholes model is zero.  Under the provisions of ASC 718, no value was assigned to the warrants granted, thus no additional expense was recorded under the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

During 2009, pursuant to certain advisory agreements, the Company granted warrants to purchase a total of 875,000 shares of common stock to two separate advisory firms, exercisable at either $0.10 or $0.20 per share, which expire between June 17, 2012 and June 5, 2014.

Under the provisions of ASC 718, values between $0.30 and $0.60 per warrant share were assigned to the warrants granted, thus an additional expense of $7,474 was recorded under the Black-Scholes option pricing model for the three months ended March 31, 2010.  An additional $4,984 will be recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2010 pursuant to these warrants granted during 2009 as the warrants become fully vested.

As previously discussed in Note 4 above, the Company also granted warrants to purchase an additional 3,000,000 shares of common stock pursuant to private placements.  These warrants have an exercise price of $0.20 per share and expire on October 14, 2011.

A summary of the status of the Company’s outstanding warrants as of March 31, 2010 and the changes during the three months then ended is presented below:

NOTE 6 -        ADVISORY AGREEMENTS

During 2009, the Company entered into an agreement with an advisory firm to assist the Company in raising additional capital.  Per the terms of the agreement, the advisory firm will receive a finder’s fee of $100,000 for the first phase of financing (up to $1,000,000), and $200,000 for the second phase of financing (up to $2,000,000).  In addition, the advisory firm is to receive warrants to purchase up to 5,000,000 shares of common stock (done in tranches, based upon capital raised) at $0.20 per share for a five-year period, with anti-dilution protection, and a cashless exercise feature.

Pursuant to this advisory firm agreement, the Company has paid a total of $25,000 of the $100,000 finder’s fee through March 31, 2010, as the advisory firm has raised $250,000 in convertible debt out of the maximum of $1,000,000 first phase, or 25%.  No additional finder’s fees are owed until additional financing is obtained.  In addition, the Company granted warrants to purchase 425,000 of the 5,000,000 shares of common stock to the advisory firm during 2009, based upon the amount of capital raised.  No additional warrants are owed pursuant to this agreement as of March 31, 2010, until additional financing is obtained.  Also during 2009, the Company granted the same advisory firm, pursuant to a separate agreement, warrants to purchase a total of 400,000 shares of common stock, out of warrants to purchase 2,000,000 shares of common stock issuable under that agreement, at $0.20 per share, for a three year period, for advisory services.

Also during 2009, the Company entered into a twelve-month agreement with a separate advisory firm to assist the Company in corporate planning, structure and capital resources.  Per the terms of the agreement, the advisory firm will receive a consulting fee of $5,000 per month with $5,000 payable on the execution of the agreement and $55,000 being deferred until such time as the Company feels it can afford to pay the monthly retainer, or the Company raises $1,500,000 or more in debt or equity during the term of the agreement, or the Company received $500,000 in revenue, but no later than on the date of termination or cancellation of the agreement.  In addition, the advisory firm is to receive 75,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock, valued at $45,000, or $0.60 per share, which amount is being expensed over the twelve-month contract at $3,750 per month.

In addition, the advisory firm received warrants to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock at $0.10 per share for a five-year period, with a cashless exercise feature.  These warrants were valued at $29,898 or $0.60 per warrant share.  This expense is also being recognized over the twelve month contract at $2,491 per month.  The advisory firm will also receive $50,000 if the Company receives $1,500,000 in revenue or raises $1,500,000 in debt or equity during the term of the agreement.  Also pursuant to the agreement, the advisory firm will also receive warrants to purchase 1,250,000 shares of common stock at $0.10 per share for a seven-year period, with a cashless exercise feature, subject to the advisory firm satisfying certain criteria.  These warrants have not yet been granted since the criteria have yet to be satisfied.

NOTE 7 -       COMMON STOCK TRANSACTIONS

During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company issued a total of 1,021,270 shares of common stock to two separate employees for services rendered during 2009 valued at $116,665, previously accrued at December 31, 2009.  The Company also issued a total of 130,885 shares of common stock for cash proceeds received during 2009 totaling $19,633.

In addition, the Company issued 108,660 shares of common stock, as previously discussed in Note 3, to an individual in conversion of convertible notes payable and accrued interest totaling $10,866, convertible at $0.10 per share.  This convertible note payable was originally convertible at $0.20 per share, rather than the $0.10 per share.  Accordingly, on the date of conversion, the Company recorded an additional expense of $4,346 during the three months ended March 31, 2010 as an induced conversion expense.

The Company also recorded contributed capital of $21,250 related to the forfeiture of contractual payroll by certain corporate officers during the three months ended March 31, 2010.

NOTE 8 -       EMPLOYEE OPTIONS

Effective December 16, 2009, the Company’s Board of Directors granted certain employees options to purchase a total of 3,150,000 shares of common stock, exercisable at $0.09 per share, the market value of the Company’s common stock on the date the options were granted, which expire on December 15, 2019.  These options vest 100% in sixty equal monthly installments, beginning one month after the date of grant.  As previously discussed, the Company estimates the fair value of each stock award at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model pursuant to ASC 718, which model requires the use of exercise behavior data and the use of a number of assumptions including volatility of the Company’s stock price, the weighted average risk-free interest rate, and the weighted average expected life of the warrants.  Because the Company does not pay dividends, the dividend rate variable in the Black-Scholes model is zero.  Under the provisions of ASC 718, a value of $0.09 per option share was assigned to the options granted, however, since none of the options were vested as of December 31, 2009, no expense related to these options was recorded under the Black-Scholes option pricing model for the year ended December 31, 2009.

However, additional expense of $14,151 was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2010, which represents the value of the options that vested during that period.
Additional expense of $268,852 will be expensed over the next five years, or $56,601 per year, as the options become vested.

During 2009, the Company estimated the fair value of the stock options based on the following weighted average assumptions:
 
 
 Risk-free interest rate     3.61 %  
 Expected life   10 years    
 Expected volatility     194 %  
 Dividend yield      0.0 %

NOTE 9 -        COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Contingent Liability

In October 2009, Rocket City Enterprises, Inc. (“RCTY”) filed a demand against the Company in the American Arbitration Association in San Antonio, Texas.  The demand alleges breach of contract and seeks repayment of a purported loan in the amount of $200,000 plus interest at 9% per annum.  RCTY has remitted the filing fee, and the arbitration is proceeding.  On February 12, 2010, RCTY filed an amended demand to include a claim for unjust enrichment.  On February 26, 2010, the Company filed an Answering Statement generally denying the allegations and asserting various affirmative defenses, including fraudulent inducement.  The arbitration hearing in this matter is scheduled to begin on September 21, 2010.  The Company intends to defend itself vigorously.  Specifically, the Company intends to deny that RCTY has alleged a valid debt of the Company based on RCTY’s representations to the Company that the $200,000 was only to be repaid upon the fulfillment of certain conditions that never occurred.  The Company intends to present affirmative defenses for, inter alia, fraudulent inducement.

At December 31, 2008, pursuant to the Company’s belief that the amount was not intended to be repaid, the Company recorded the $200,000 as additional equity.  However, in order to be conservative at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company has reclassified this $200,000 as a liability, pending the outcome of this proceeding.

President (Continued)

The employee has agreed to forego the salary increase as noted above, until such time that the Company is profitable or sufficient funding is raised to sustain the Company as a viable ongoing concern.  Accordingly, the Company recorded contributed capital of $11,250 during the three months ended March 31, 2010 related to the foregone salary increase.
 
Executive Vice-President of Sales and Marketing

Effective September 15, 2009, the Company entered into an employment agreement with an employee of the Company to be its Executive Vice-President of Sales and Marketing, continuing until October 12, 2014, at a base salary of not less than $220,000 per annum, payable in cash of $150,000 and $70,000 per year in shares of restricted common stock.  The shares will accumulate monthly, based upon the average trading price of the Company’s common stock during such month, and will be payable to the employee on the earlier to occur of i) September 15, 2010, or ii) the date on which the Company has reported net income in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, for two consecutive quarters.  The Company has accrued a total of $37,917 as of March 31, 2010 related to the amount of shares that have vested through March 31, 2010, pursuant to the $70,000 worth of shares to eventually be issued during 2010.

In addition, on or about October 12, 2009, the Company was obligated to grant to the employee a total of 750,000 shares of restricted common stock under the Company’s Long-Term Incentive Plan, which shares will vest in twenty (20) equal quarterly installments of 37,500 shares each, beginning January 12, 2010.  As no shares have vested through December 31, 2009, no accrual has been recorded as of December 31, 2009 pursuant to these shares.  However, an accrual of $4,875 was recorded as of March 31, 2010 for the installment that vested during the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Finally, under the employment agreement, on or about October 12, 2009, the Company was obligated to pay the employee $20,000 in cash and 551,270 fully-vested shares of restricted common stock under the Company’s Long-Term Incentive Plan.  Such payments were for full compensation for services provided by the employee from April 15, 2009 through September 15, 2009.  These shares were issued during the three months ended March 31, 2010.
 
Office Leases

The Company currently has two separate operating leases for its office space.  Both leases currently are on a month-to-month basis.  Each lease requires a monthly payment of $1,200 per month, and can be terminated by either party at any time.  One of the leases is with the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (see Note 10).
 
Litigation

On December 4, 2009, the Company filed a lawsuit against an individual and various entities that the Company believes are affiliated with and controlled by this individual, one of whom holds convertible notes payable by the Company in the amount of $472,000 and received warrants to purchase 15,000,000 shares of common stock in connection with the closing of the share exchange transaction with the Company’s predecessor, in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas, Austin Division, captioned COPsync, Inc., et. al. v. Timothy T. Page, et. al.  In the lawsuit, the Company and the other individual plaintiffs (Russell Chaney and Jason Rapp) are seeking damages for federal securities law violations, breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, conversion, breach of contract and other common law violations arising from the defendants’ wrongful acts in connection with trading the Company’s securities and promoting and raising capital for the Company in relation to the share exchange transaction with the Company’s predecessor.  Management of the Company believes that Mr. Page, through the other defendant entities, controlled a large majority of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock prior to that transaction, and acted adversely to the Company while serving as the Company’s promoter and fiduciary in that and related transactions.

NOTE 9 -        COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued)
 
Litigation (Continued)

On December 30, 2009, Mr. Page and several of the other defendants answered the lawsuit, asserting various affirmative defenses and filing counterclaims against the Company and the other plaintiffs for business disparagement, based upon alleged communications between the Company and a broker-dealer, and fraudulent inducement, in connection with alleged loans made to the Company by Testre, LP.  On January 22, 2010, the plaintiffs filed a Motion to Dismiss the Counterclaims, which resulted in a Court ruling requiring the defendants to amend their pleading.  On April 16, 2010, the defendants filed amended counterclaims and the Company is due to file an answer on May 17, 2010.  Management of the Company believes that the counterclaims are without merit and intends to defend them vigorously.

Also on December 30, 2009, Testre issued a letter demanding payment within thirty (30) days of alleged loans made to the Company in the amount of $1,182,000.  Of that amount, under the terms of the acquisition agreement, a $750,000 purported loan by Testre was repaid by the issuance of warrants to purchase 15,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock upon the closing of the April 2008 share exchange.  The Company does not believe that the $750,000 purported loan was a legitimate obligation of its predecessor and, if it was legitimate, it was repaid by the warrants, and disputes that it owes any monies on the other supposed loans, in part because Testre and its affiliates, including Mr. Page, defrauded and caused damages to the Company substantially in excess of these amounts.  On March 20, 2010, Testre filed a lawsuit against the Company in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles, captioned Testre, LP vs. COPsync, Inc., alleging breach of contract and seeking $1,389,656 in principal and interest allegedly due on the above-referenced loans.  The Company intends to defend the matter vigorously.  The Company has recorded, however, total convertible notes payable to Testre, totaling $472,000 (see Note 3) as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, in order to be conservative, pending the outcome of this litigation, but disputes that it owes any monies on these purported loans, in part because Tester and its affiliates, including Mr. Page, defrauded and caused damages to the Company substantially in excess of these amounts.

NOTE 10 -      RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company leases its corporate office space on a month-to-month basis from the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.  The monthly payment on the lease agreement is $1,200 per month and the agreement can be terminated by either party at any time.

NOTE 11 -      SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date that the financial statements were available to be issued and found no significant subsequent events that required additional disclosure.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results could differ materially from those projected or assumed.  Our future financial condition and results of operations, as well as any forward-looking statements, are subject to change and to inherent risks and uncertainties, such as those disclosed in this report.  We do not intend, and undertake no obligation, to update any forward-looking statement.

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, including the notes to those financial statements, included elsewhere in this report.
 
The information contained below is subject to the “Risk Factors” and other risks detailed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2009 and our other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Overview
 
Since January 2005, we have primarily been a provider of software designed to enhance productivity and quality of work of the public safety community.  Our founders, Russell Chaney and Jason Shane Rapp, both certified police officers in the State of Texas and former software company executives, began developing our current product offering in 2004.  Our founders’ motivation for beginning the development of our product was the death of a fellow police officer in their community, which they felt was the direct result of the lack of information sharing between separate law enforcement agencies.  Mr. Chaney and Mr. Rapp thought that they could create a technology solution that would have avoided the death of their fellow officer.

We believe that we have developed the first integrated software product that provides a real-time, in-car, data gathering and sharing user interface for all law enforcement officers using our product.  We also believe that we are the only law enforcement software provider to have full in-car information sharing available to all subscribing agencies at the point of incident via a laptop computer, notebook or a handheld device.  Since our software architecture is designed to scale nationwide and globally, it is our goal that, in the future, all law enforcement officers will have access to the critical information they need to protect the public and themselves in real time.  We currently have over 4,000 police officers utilizing our product or whose agency is committed to utilizing our product, primarily in the State of Texas.  Our product became available for release in the second half of 2008.  We began generating license fee revenue from our product in the fourth quarter of 2008.

As of March 31, 2010, our COPsync™ product had successfully submitted, processed and relayed over 244,400 officer initiated information requests.  On average, our product is returning results to mobile users in less than five seconds, well within the 32 second average NCIC 2000 standard for mobile clients.  During 2009 and the first quarter of 2010, we continued to garner interest from law enforcement agencies.  As of March 31, 2010, we had 87 law enforcement agencies with executed software license agreements providing for the use of our product in their respective agencies, and an additional 124 law enforcement agencies had executed our Non-Binding Grant Contingency Agreement, under which those agencies commit to purchase our product if they can receive approval for funding grants that will cover the cost of hardware and any interfacing with existing software necessary to utilize our product.

Effective April 25, 2008, we completed a share exchange with PostInk Technology, LP.  In the share exchange, the owners of PostInk acquired beneficial ownership of approximately 86% of our outstanding common stock.  In addition, in connection with the share exchange, we changed our name from Global Advance Corp. to COPsync, Inc.  As a result of the share exchange, for financial accounting purposes, we treated the share exchange as a purchase of our company by PostInk.

Basis of Presentation, Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
We prepare our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities.  We base our estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  These estimates and assumptions are routinely evaluated.  Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Our management believes that there has been no significant changes during the quarter ended March 31, 2010 to the items we disclosed as our critical accounting policies and estimates in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
 
Results of Operations

For the three month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009
 
Revenue.  For the three month period ended March 31, 2010, our total revenues were $311,124, including $262,389 in hardware, installation and other revenue and $48,735 in license fee revenues, compared to $4,169 for the three month period ended March 31, 2009, all of which was hardware, installation and other revenue.  The increase in license fee revenue was due to increasing sales after the release of our product for licensing in the fourth quarter of 2008 and our recognition of deferred revenue in the first quarter of 2010 from previously executed license agreements.  We only began selling and installing hardware required to run our software in the first quarter of 2009.
 
Cost of Revenue.  For the three month period ended March 31, 2010, our cost of revenues was $294,659, resulting in a gross profit of $16,465, compared to cost of revenues of $39,641for the three months ended March 31, 2009, resulting in a gross loss of $35,472.  The increase in costs of sales in 2010 was primarily due to an increase in hardware and other costs of $248,774.  The gross loss in 2009 was primarily due to $36,522 in amortization of capitalized licensing costs with no offsetting license fee revenues.
 
Operating Expenses.  For the three month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, our total operating expenses were $604,176 and $194,894, respectively.  This $409,282 increase was due primarily to a $202,257increase in salaries and wages, primarily as the result of hiring additional sales staff, a $151,203 increase in professional fees, resulting from our being a publicly reporting company, and a $55,221 increase in other general and administrative expenses, primarily as a result of increased marketing and insurance expenses.
 
Other Expense.  For the three month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, other expense totaled $29,455 and $10.157, respectively.  Other expense for 2010 consists of interest income on cash and cash equivalents of $2,889, offset by an induced conversion expense of $4,346, which we recorded upon the conversion of a convertible note at a conversion price less than that stated in the note, and an interest expense of $27,998.  Other expense for 2009 consists of interest income on cash and cash equivalents of $467, offset by an interest expense of $10,624.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since our formation, we have funded our operations primarily through the sale of equity and debt securities.  As of March 31, 2010, we had $892,430 in cash and cash equivalents, compared to $1,141,534 as of December 31, 2009.  The decrease during the three months ended March 31, 2010 was due primarily to $215,738 in cash used in operating activities and $80,317 used in investing activities, primarily software development costs, which was partially offset by $50,000 in proceeds received from the issuance of shares of our Series B preferred stock.  On March 31, 2010, we had a working capital deficiency of $291,256, compared to a surplus of $12,412 on December 31, 2009.  The working capital deficiency was due primarily to a decrease of $249,104 in cash and cash equivalents and an increase of $78,630 in deferred revenues.

Plan of Operation for the Next Twelve Months.
 
Our primary business activities includes the development and sale of software that enhances productivity and quality of work, and creates a safer work environment, for the public safety community by developing what we believe is the first real-time, nationwide public safety information sharing network.  In October 2009, we completed a private placement of our new Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, in which we received approximately $1.5 million in gross proceeds and commitments.  We believe that, with cash on hand, we will be able generate sufficient cash flow from our core business activities to meet operating and capital needs, with moderate growth, for the next twelve months.  However, we will need to seek additional capital to fund more significant growth than what expected cash flow would likely provide.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We do not use derivative financial instruments to hedge interest rate and foreign currency exposure.  We do not believe that we have any material exposure to interest rate risk.  We did not experience a material impact from interest rate risk during fiscal 2009.

Currently, we do not have any significant investments in financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes, or to manage our interest rate exposure.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)).  Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered in this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error or fraud.  A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.  Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.  Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.  To address the material weaknesses, we performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures in an effort to ensure our consolidated financial statements included in this report have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2010 that materially affected, or was reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

On December 4, 2009, we filed a lawsuit against Timothy T. Page and various entities that we believe are affiliated with and controlled by Mr. Page in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas, Austin Division, captioned COPsync, Inc., et al. v. Timothy T. Page, et al.  On December 30, 2009, Mr. Page and several of the other defendants answered the lawsuit, asserting various affirmative defenses and filing counterclaims against us and the other plaintiffs.  Also on December 30, 2009, Testre, LP, a defendant in the lawsuit, issued a letter demanding payment within thirty (30) days of alleged loans made to us in the amount of $1,182,000.  Of that amount, a $750,000 purported loan was repaid by the issuance of warrants to purchase 15,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock upon the closing of the April 2008 share exchange with PostInk.  We do not believe that the $750,000 purported loan was a legitimate obligation and, if it was legitimate, it was repaid by the warrants.  We dispute that we owe any monies on the remaining supposed loans, in part because Testre and its affiliates, including Mr. Page, defrauded and caused damages to us substantially in excess of these amounts.  On March 22, 2010, Testre filed a lawsuit against us in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles, captioned Testre, LP vs. COPsync, Inc., alleging breach of contract and seeking $1,389,656 in principal and interest allegedly due on the above-referenced loans.  We accepted service of this lawsuit on April 19, 2010, and we are due to file a responsive pleading on May 28, 2010.  We intend to defend this matter vigorously.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors

Not applicable.

Item 2.  Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

On or about March 2, 2010, we completed a private placement of 108,660 shares of our common stock in exchange for $10,866 in outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest, or one share of common stock for each $0.10 of principal or interest, of a convertible promissory note we previously issued.  Prior to the exchange, the note was convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $0.20, and had a maturity date of May 31, 2011.  The shares of common stock were offered and sold to one private individual who was the existing holder of the note.  The offer and sale was made without registration under the Securities Act, or the securities laws of certain states, in reliance on the exemptions provided by Section 3(9) of the Securities Act, and in reliance on similar exemptions under applicable state laws, for exchanges of securities with existing security holders.

 
22

 
Item 3.  Defaults Upon Senior Securities

As discussed under Legal Proceedings above, on December 30, 2009, Testre, LP issued a letter demanding payment in thirty (30) days of alleged loans made to us in the amount of $1,182,000.  On March 22, 2010, Testre filed a lawsuit against us in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles, captioned Testre, LP vs. COPsync, Inc., alleging breach of contract and seeking $1,389,656 in principal and interest allegedly due on the above-referenced loans.  Of this amount, we do not believe that a purported loan of $750,000 included in the amount sought was a legitimate obligation and, if it was legitimate, it was repaid by the issuance warrants.  With respect to the remaining loans subject to this lawsuit, which total $507,427 of principal and accrued interest as of the date of this report, we dispute that we owe any monies on those supposed loans, in part because Testre and its affiliates, including Mr. Page, defrauded and caused damages to us substantially in excess of the amounts owed.  We are seeking to recover those damages in the lawsuit we filed against Mr. Page, Testre and others, as described under Legal Proceedings above.
