NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of the Business

LaserLock Technologies Inc. (the “Company” or “LaserLock”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 10, 1999. The Company is based in Washington, D.C. and its common stock is quoted on the OTC Pink under the ticker symbol “LLTI”. A high-tech solutions company in the field of authenticating people and products, LaserLock offers state-of-the-art solutions to combat identity fraud and counterfeiting utilizing multi-factor authentication and a suite of security pigments for governments, health care providers, the gaming industry, the financial services industry and high-end retailers.

The Company invests in developing new proprietary color shifting inks that it believes will allow it to penetrate broader markets and result in increased revenues. The Company refines its technologies and their applications, and now has what it believes to be one of the most cost effective and efficient authentication technologies available. Its most recent technology takes advantage of the new ubiquitous energy efficient fluorescent lighting to change the color of ink, resulting in numerous potential new applications ranging from credit cards to drivers licenses, passports, stock certificates, clothing labels, currency, ID cards, and tax stamps. The technologies can also be used to protect DVDs, apparel, pharmaceuticals, and virtually any other physical product.

The Company’s digital solution is a multi-platform (iOS and Android) strong authentication solution that integrates biometrics and geo-location tagging. The solution completely eliminates passwords and the inherently weak security they provide. The solution also removes the user complexity associated with having to manage many complex passwords. The solution can be delivered either as a high availability cloud service, managed by the Company, or as licensed software product for operation on the client’s premises.

The solution integrates three independent authentication factors – something you have (for instance a smartphone), something you know (for instance a color gesture swipe) and something you are (for instance your facial geometry)—into a simple, fast, intuitive solution. The system can also accurately determine the precise location of the individual using a variety of mechanisms including GPS, cell tower triangulation, IP or Wi-Fi address. Because the solution incorporates biometrics it completely eliminates the possibility that users might share their authentication credentials. The combination of biometrics and geolocation provides extremely strong transactional evidence, making it nearly impossible for an end-user to refute having been part of a transaction.

The Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including the need to secure additional funding to operationalize the Company’s current technology.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, as filed with the SEC. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

-9-

---

Comprehensive Income

The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) 220 in reporting comprehensive income. Comprehensive income is a more inclusive financial reporting methodology that includes disclosure of certain financial information that historically has not been recognized in the calculation of net income. Since the Company has no items of other comprehensive income (loss), comprehensive income (loss) is equal to net income (loss).

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses and notes payable. The carrying value of cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair value because of their short maturities. The Company believes the carrying amount of its notes payable and convertible debt approximates its fair value based on rates and other terms currently available to the Company for similar debt instruments.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers all cash accounts, which are not subject to withdrawal restrictions or penalties, and certificates of deposit and commercial paper with original maturities of 90 days or less to be cash or cash equivalents.

Concentration of Credit Risk Involving Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are held at two financial institutions. At times, the Company’s deposits may exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) coverage limits. The Company has not experienced any losses from maintaining cash accounts in excess of federally insured limits.

Inventory

Inventory principally consists of penlights and pigments and is stated at the lower of cost (determined by the first-in, first-out method) or market.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, principally five to seven years. Maintenance and repairs of property are charged to operations, and major improvements are capitalized. Upon retirement, sale, or other disposition of property and equipment, the costs and accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is included in operations.

Patents and Trademark

The Company has filed eleven patent applications relating to the company technology. Currently we have 7 U.S. patents, 4 U.S. applications pending for allowance, and 5 foreign applications pending for allowance. The Company has also purchased a trademark. Costs associated with the registration and legal defense of the patents have been capitalized and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated lives of the patents which were determined to be17 to 20 years.

Long-Lived Assets

The Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets in accordance with ASC 360 “Property, Plant, and Equipment.” The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets are measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset, undiscounted and without interest or independent appraisals. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the assets.

 

-10-

---

Deferred Financing Costs

Costs incurred in securing long-term debt are deferred and amortized, as a charge to interest expense, over the term of the related debt. In the case of long-term debt modifications, the Company follows the guidance provided by ASC 470-50 “Debt – Modification and Extinguishments.”

Convertible Notes Payable

Convertible notes payable, for which the embedded conversion feature does not qualify for derivative treatment, are evaluated to determine if the effective or actual rate of conversion per the terms of the convertible note agreement is below market value. In these instances, the Company accounts for the value of the beneficial conversion feature (BCF) as a debt discount, which is then accreted to interest expense over the life of the related debt using the straight-line method which approximates the effective interest method.

Derivative Instruments

The Company evaluates its convertible debt, warrants or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for in accordance with Topic 480 of the FASB ASC and Topic 815 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the embedded derivative, if required to be bifurcated, is marked-to-market at each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability. The change in fair value is recorded in the Statement of Operations as a component of other income or expense. Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity.

In circumstances where the embedded conversion option in a convertible instrument is required to be bifurcated and there are also other embedded derivative instruments in the convertible instrument that are required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single, compound derivative instrument.

The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification are reclassified to liability at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. Derivative instrument liabilities will be classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument is expected within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

Revenue Recognition

In accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104, Revenue Recognition (Codified in FASB ASC 605), the Company recognizes revenue when (i) persuasive evidence of a customer or distributor arrangement exists, (ii) a retailer, distributor or wholesaler receives the goods and acceptance occurs, (iii) the price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability of the revenue is reasonably assured. Subject to these criteria, the Company recognizes revenue from product sales, consisting mainly of pigments and penlights, upon shipment to the customer. Royalty revenue is recognized upon receipt of notification from a customer that the Company’s product has been used in the customer’s production process.

Income Taxes

The Company follows FASB ASC 740 when accounting for income taxes, which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for temporary differences between the financial statements and tax bases 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. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

 

-11-

---

Stock-based Payments

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based awards made to employees and directors based on estimated fair values on the grant date. The Company estimates the fair value of stock-based awards on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods using the straight-line method.

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation awards to non-employees in accordance with ASC 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees (“ASC 505-50”). Under ASC 505-50, the Company determines the fair value of the warrants or stock-based compensation awards granted as either the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.

All issuances of stock options or other equity instruments to non-employees as consideration for goods or services received by the Company are accounted for based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued. Any stock options issued to non-employees are recorded as an expense and additional paid-in capital in stockholders’ equity over the applicable service periods.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs were approximately $158 and $27,283 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 and are included in sales and marketing expenses.

Research and Development Costs

In accordance with FASB ASC 730, research and development costs are expensed when incurred. Research and development costs for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 were $120,386 and $864,729.

Basic and Diluted Net Income per Share of Common Stock

The Company follows FASB ASC 260 when reporting Earnings Per Share resulting in the presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Since the Company reported a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, common stock equivalents, including convertible preferred stock, convertible debt, stock options and warrants were anti-dilutive; therefore, the amounts reported for basic and dilutive loss per share during the years were the same.

Segment Information

The Company is organized and operates as one operating segment wherein the Company’s patented technologies are utilized to address counterfeiting issues. In accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting, the chief operating decision-maker has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer, who reviews operating results to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company. Since the Company operates in one segment and provides one group of similar products, all financial segment and product line information required by ASC 280 can be found in the financial statements.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

As of March 31, 2015 and for the period then ended, there were no recently adopted accounting pronouncements that had a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

 

-12-

---

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

As of March 31, 2015, there are no recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted which would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements through 2016.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in 2014 statement of operations have been reclassified in order for them to conform with the 2015 presentation.

NOTE 2 – MANAGEMENT PLANS

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred significant losses and experienced negative cash flow from operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The Company does not believe that its existing cash resources will be sufficient to sustain operations during the next twelve months. The Company currently needs to generate revenue in order to sustain its operations. In the event that the Company cannot generate sufficient revenue to sustain its operations, the Company will need to reduce expenses or obtain financing through the sale of debt and/or equity securities. The issuance of additional equity would result in dilution to existing stockholders. If the Company is unable to obtain additional funds when they are needed or if such funds cannot be obtained on terms acceptable to the Company, the Company may be unable to execute upon the business plan or pay costs and expenses as they are incurred, which could have a material, adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of operations.

If sufficient revenues are not generated to sustain operations or additional funding cannot be obtained in the short term, the Company will need to reduce monthly expenditures to a level that will enable the Company to continue until such funds can be obtained.

Successful completion of the Company’s development program, and the attainment of profitable operations are dependent upon future events, including obtaining adequate financing to fulfill its development activities and achieving a level of sales adequate to support the Company’s cost structure. However, there can be no assurances that the Company will be able to secure additional equity investment or achieve an adequate sales level.

NOTE 4 – PATENTS AND TRADEMARK

The Company has seven issued patents and filed for four additional provisional patents for anti-counterfeiting technology. Accordingly, costs associated with the registration of these patents and legal defense have been capitalized and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated lives of the patents (17 to 20 years). During three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company capitalized $0 and $21,954 of patent costs. Amortization expense for patents was $4,114 and $3,277 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.

On March 30, 2015, the Company was advised by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) that its petition for an unintentional delayed payment for an unpaid maintenance fee to reinstate its patent was granted by the USPTO. The patent, for a counterfeiting ink detection system, was granted on November 2, 2004.

NOTE 5 – INCOME TAXES

Income tax expense was $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.

As of January 1, 2015, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits, and accordingly, the Company did not recognize interest or penalties during 2014 related to unrecognized tax benefits. There has been no change in unrecognized tax benefits during the three months ended March 31, 2015, and there was no accrual for uncertain tax positions as of March 31, 2015. Tax years from 2011 through 2014 remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions.

There is no income tax benefit for the losses for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, since management has determined that the realization of the net tax deferred asset is not assured and has created a valuation allowance for the entire amount of such benefits.

NOTE 6 – SENIOR SECURED CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE –RELATED PARTIES

In February 2006, the Company commenced a private placement of up to $800,000 principal amount of 10% senior secured convertible promissory notes due twelve months from the date of issue to certain Company shareholders and other accredited investors. As of December 31, 2006, the Company completed this private placement by selling all notes payable totaling $800,000. The notes are secured by a first priority lien on all of the tangible and intangible personal property of the Company. In May 2007, the due date of these notes was extended to August 2008 and the interest rate increased to 12% per annum during the extension period. In June 2011, the interest rate on all of the notes was reset to 10% and $596,500 of the notes and accrued interest was extended until September 15, 2015. During the fourth quarter of 2012 the remaining $178,749 of unextended notes and the associated accrued interest were extended to September 30, 2015. In June 2013, $225,000 of these notes payable plus accrued interest of $181,125 were converted into 7.4 million shares of the Company’s common stock, which was valued at $1,628,000. The excess of the fair value of the Company’s common stock over the value of the notes payable and accrued interest was recorded as loss on extinguishment of debt in accordance with FASB ASC 470-50.

As of March 31, 2015, the outstanding principal balance on these notes was $114,000. Accrued interest at March 31, 2015 amounted to $115,925. The notes and accrued interest are due on September 15, 2015.

If an equity financing with total proceeds of more than $5,000,000 occurs while any of these notes are outstanding, holders of notes will have the right, at their option, to convert the outstanding principal and interest of the notes into shares of common stock at a discount of 30% of the price per share in the qualified financing. Since the embedded conversion feature is contingent upon the occurrence of the qualified financing, the value of the contingent conversion feature, if beneficial, will be recognized if the triggering event occurs and the contingency is resolved.

NOTE 8 – WARRANT LIABILITY

On December 31, 2012, the Company entered into an Investment Agreement, a Technology and Service Agreement, a Patent and Technology License Agreement and an Asset Purchase Agreement with VerifyMe, and on the same date entered into a Technology and Service Agreement with Zaah Technologies, Inc. (collectively with the VerifyMe agreements, the “Agreements”). Contemplated by those Agreements were warrants issuances by the Company for the purchase of the Company’s common stock.

The warrants associated with these Agreements are subject to anti-dilution adjustments outlined in the Agreements. In accordance with FASB ASC 815, the warrants were classified as a liability in the total amount of $2.4 million at December 31, 2012. In addition, the warrants must be valued every reporting period and adjusted to market with the increase or decrease being adjusted through earnings. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the fair value of the warrant liability was $865,277 and $787,544.

On January 1, 2014, the Company issued warrants to purchase 6,349,206 shares of the Company’s common stock as consideration for technology received from VerifyMe under to the Patent and Technology License Agreement dated December 31, 2012. The warrants are exercisable at $0.10 per share. The warrants are subject to anti-dilution adjustments outlined in the Agreement. In accordance with FASB ASC 815, the warrants were classified as a liability with an initial fair value of $444,000, which was immediately expensed as research and development costs. In addition, the warrants must be valued every reporting period and adjusted to market with the increase or decrease being adjusted through earnings. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the fair value of the warrant liability was $116,789 and $121,209.

The Company made the payment of warrants to VerifyMe on a good faith basis, based on the assumption that the technology conveyed to the Company would be patentable and licensable. The Company has not reached a conclusion that the technology will be patentable and licensable, and can provide no assurance to this effect.

Should the Company ultimately conclude that the technology received from VerifyMe is patentable and licensable, the Company would be required to make, on January 1, 2015, an additional payment pursuant to Patent and Technology Agreement in the amount of $4,500,000, to be paid by issuing (i) a number of shares of common stock equal to (x) $4,500,000 divided by (y) a price which equals a 10% discount to the market price at the time of issuance and (ii) warrants to purchase an equal number of shares of common stock exercisable at a price of $0.10 per share. Based upon the share price of $0.04 per share, this would result in the issuance of approximately an additional 125 million shares of common stock and warrants to purchase an additional 125 million shares. The $4,500,000 was accrued at December 31, 2014. The number of warrants to be issued based on a stock price of $0.02 at December 31, 2014 was 250 million warrants. The warrants were valued at $4,892,089 as of December 31, 2014, using the Black-Scholes pricing model to calculate the grant-date fair value of the warrants with the following assumptions: no dividend yield, expected volatility of 229.1%, risk free interest rate of 1.65% and expected life of five years. The warrants were valued at $4,615,841 as of March 31, 2015, using the Black-Scholes pricing model to calculate the grant-date fair value of the warrants with the following assumptions: no dividend yield, expected volatility of 190.9%, risk free interest rate of 1.37% and expected life of five years.

NOTE 9 – CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

Subscription Agreement

The Company entered into a Subscription Agreement with VerifyMe on January 31, 2013 (the “Subscription Agreement”). Under the terms of the Subscription Agreement, VerifyMe subscribed to purchase 33,333,333 shares of the Company’s Series A preferred stock (the “Preferred Stock”) and a warrant to purchase 33,333,333 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.12 per share, for $1 million.

At any time before January 31, 2015, VerifyMe has the right, but not the obligation, to require the Company to repurchase all, but not less than all, of the capital stock of the Company and warrants exercisable for capital stock of the Company held by VerifyMe in exchange for the price originally paid by VerifyMe therefor upon the occurrence of any of the following events:(i) the consummation of any bona fide business acquisition, (ii) the incurrence of any indebtedness by the Company in an amount in excess of $2 million, (iii) the issuance or sale of any security having a preference on liquidation senior to common stock, or (iv) the sale by the Company of capital stock or warrants exercisable for its capital stock at a price below $0.03 per share. This right has not been exercised.

In accordance with FASB ASC 480 and 815, the Preferred Stock has been classified as permanent equity and was valued at $1 million at January 31, 2013.

The conversion feature of the Preferred Stock is an embedded derivative, which is classified as a liability in accordance with FASB ASC 815 and was valued in accordance with FASB ASC 470 as a beneficial conversion feature at a fair value of $0 at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014. This was classified as an embedded derivative liability and a discount to Preferred Stock. Because the Preferred Stock can be converted at any time, the full amount of the original fair value was accreted and classified as a reduction to the discount on Preferred Stock and a deemed dividend distribution in the full amount of $1 million, in 2013.

The warrants associated with the Preferred Stock were also classified as a liability since they are subject to anti-dilutive adjustments outlined in the warrant agreement and valued at a fair market value of $2,995,791 at January 31, 2013. In addition, the warrants must be valued every reporting period and adjusted to market with the increase or decrease being adjusted through earnings. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the fair value of the warrants was $526,210 and $494,939, respectively.

The Preferred Stock has a preference in liquidation that the holders of the Preferred Stock are to be paid out of assets available for distribution prior to holders of common stock. The Preferred Stockholders may cast the number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of common stock into which the shares of Preferred Stock can be converted. In addition, the Preferred Stockholders are to be paid dividends, based on the number of shares of Preferred Stock as if the shares had been converted to common shares, prior to the common stockholders receiving a dividend.

The conversion price of the shares of Preferred Stock is currently $0.03 per share.

NOTE 10 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Derivative Liabilities

For purposes of determining whether certain instruments are derivatives for accounting treatment, the Company follows the accounting standard that provides guidance for determining whether an equity-linked financial instrument, or embedded feature, is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The standard applies to any freestanding financial instruments or embedded features that have the characteristics of a derivative, and to any freestanding financial instruments that are potentially settled in an entity’s own common stock.

Liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized as follows:

 

		Level 1				Level 2				Level 3				Total
Derivative liability related to fair value of warrants		$	—			$	—			$	6,201,233			$	6,201,233
Total		$	—			$	—			$	6,201,233			$	6,201,233

The following table details the approximate fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy of the Company’s derivative liabilities using Level 3 inputs:

 

Balance at January 1, 2015		$	6,370,709
Change in fair value of derivative liabilities			(169,476	)
Balance at March 31, 2015		$	6,201,233

As of March 31, 2015, the beneficial conversion feature of the Preferred Stock is treated as an embedded derivative liability and changes in the fair value were recognized in earnings. The Preferred Stock shares are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, which did traded in an active securities market, therefore the embedded derivative liability was valued using the following market based inputs:

 

Series A Preferred Stock Conversion price		$	0.03
Intrinsic value of conversion option per share		$	—

The Company has no assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. There were no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

As of March 31, 2015, the Company’s outstanding warrants were treated as derivative liabilities and changes in the fair value were recognized in earnings. These common stock purchase warrants did not trade in an active securities market, and as such, the Company estimated the fair value of these warrants using Black-Scholes and the following assumptions:

 

Annual Dividend Yield		0.0%
Expected Life (Years)		2.75 - 4.76
Risk-Free Interest Rate		.89% - 1.37%
Expected Volatility		177.1% - 193.7%

Expected volatility was based primarily on historical volatility. Historical volatility was computed using daily pricing observations for recent periods. The Company believes this method produced an estimate that was representative of the Company’s expectations of future volatility over the expected term of these warrants. The Company had no reason to believe future volatility over the expected remaining life of these warrants was likely to differ materially from historical volatility. The expected life was based on the remaining contractual term of the warrants. The risk-free rate was based on the U.S. Treasury rate that corresponded to the expected term of the warrants.

NOTE 11 – STOCK OPTIONS

During 1999, the Board of Directors (“Board”) of the Company adopted, with the approval of the stockholders, a Stock Option Plan. In 2000, the Board superseded that plan and created a new Stock Option Plan, pursuant to which it is authorized to grant options to purchase up to 1.5 million shares of common stock. On December 17, 2003, the Board, with approval of the stockholders, superseded the 2000 plan and created the 2003 Stock Option Plan (the “2003 Plan”). Under the 2003 Plan the Company is authorized to grant options to purchase up to 18,000,000 shares of common stock to the Company’s employees, officers, directors, consultants, and other agents and advisors. The Plan is intended to permit stock options granted to employees under the Plan to qualify as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Incentive Stock Options”). All options granted under the 2003 Plan, which are not intended to qualify as Incentive Stock Options, are deemed to be non-qualified options (“Non-Statutory Stock Options”).

During 2013, our Board adopted a new omnibus incentive compensation plan (the “2013 Plan”) which will serve as the successor incentive compensation plan to the 2003 Plan, and will provide the Company with an comprehensive plan to design and structure grants of stock options, stock units, stock awards, stock appreciation rights and other stock-based awards for our employees, non-employee directors and certain consultants and advisors. Our Board of Directors believes that the availability of (i) 20,000,000 new shares of our common stock, plus (ii) the 74,004 shares of our common stock available for issuance under the 2003 Plan, will be sufficient to meet the objective.

As of March 31, 2015, there are 22,725,996 options that have been issued, and 15,274,004 options that are available to be issued under the Plan.

The 2013 Plan is administered by a committee of the Board (“Stock Option Committee”) which determines the persons to whom awards will be granted, the number of awards to be granted and the specific terms of each grant, including the vesting thereof, subject to the provisions of the plan.

In connection with Incentive Stock Options, the exercise price of each option may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of the grant (or 110% of the fair market value in the case of a grantee holding more than 10% of the outstanding stock of the Company). The aggregate fair market value (determined at the time of the grant) of stock for which an employee may exercise Incentive Stock Options under all plans of the company shall not exceed $1,000,000 per calendar year. If any employee shall have the right to exercise any options in excess of $100,000 during any calendar year, the options in excess of $100,000 shall be deemed to be Non-Statutory Stock Options, including prices, duration, transferability and limitations on exercise.

The Company issued Non-Statutory Stock Options pursuant to contractual agreements with non-employees. Options granted under the agreements are expensed when the related service or product is provided.

Determining the appropriate fair value of stock-based awards requires the input of subjective assumptions. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value its stock option awards. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value represent management’s best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and judgments.

Option expense for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was ($54,834).

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Overview

We were incorporated in Nevada in November 1999. We are a technology development company that delivers product and document authentication and security. We plan to develop and market technologies in a variety of applications in the security fields.

The Company is a technology pioneer and leader in the markets for Identity & Access Management and Anti-Counterfeiting. We deliver security solutions for identification and authentication of people, products and packaging. We develop and market technologies for a variety of applications in the security field for both digital and physical transactions.

The challenges associated with digital access control and identity theft are problems that are in the news daily. Consumers, citizens, employees, governments and employers are all demanding solutions. The current widespread use of passwords or PINs for authentication has been proven insecure and inadequate. Individuals increasingly expect anywhere-anytime experiences—whether they are making purchases, crossing borders, accessing services or logging onto corporate resources. They expect those experiences to insure the protection of their privacy and to provide confidentiality.

We believe that the digital technologies we own will enable businesses and consumers to reconstruct their overall approaches to security—from identity and authentication to the management of legacy passwords and PINs. We empower our customers to take advantage of the full capabilities of smart mobile devices and provide solutions that are both delightful to use and deliver the highest level of security. These solutions can be applied to corporate networks, financial services, e-gov services, digital wallets, mobile payments, entertainment, social media, etc. We generate sales through licenses to utilize our high availability cloud services or operate our solutions directly by a customer.

We have filed a total of eleven patent applications relating to our technology. Currently we have 7 U.S. patents, 4 U.S. applications pending allowance, and 5 foreign applications pending allowance.

Strategic Outlook

We believe that the security and authentication industries will continue to grow over time, especially as counterfeiting becomes easier with advances in technology. Within the market, we intend to provide our products to government bodies and merchants in the consumer products, gaming and financial services industries.

Sustained spending on technology, our ability to raise additional financing, and the continued growth of the security and authentication markets are all external conditions that may affect our ability to execute our business plan. In addition, certain potential customers may view our small size and limited financial resources negatively, even if they prefer our products to those of our competitors.

Our primary strategic objective over the next 12-24 months is to successfully market our products and generate revenue that is sufficient to cover our operating expenses and support additional growth over the next several years. We plan to achieve this objective through a targeted marketing program. As we grow, we intend to hire professionals to develop new products and market our products.

We believe that our near-term success will depend particularly on our ability to develop customer awareness and confidence in our products. Since we have limited capital resources, we will need to closely manage our expenses and conserve our cash by continually monitoring any increase in expenses and reducing or eliminating unnecessary expenditures. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties encountered by companies in the development stage, particularly given that we operate in rapidly evolving markets, have limited financial resources, and face an uncertain economic environment. We may not be successful in addressing such risks and difficulties.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2015 and 2014

The following discussion analyzes our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. The following information should be considered together with our consolidated financial statements for such period and the accompanying notes thereto.

Net Revenue/Net Loss

We have not generated significant revenue since our inception. For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, we generated sales of $6,250 and $0. For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, we showed a net loss of $263,636 and $3,429,708. These changes are primarily as a result of the change resulting from valuation adjustment of warrant liability and embedded derivative liability associated with the Investment Agreement entered into on December 31, 2012 and the Subscription Agreement entered into on January 31, 2013, as well as the measures implemented to conserve funds.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2105 and 2014 was $0.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses decreased $160,595 to $83,901 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $244,496 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The Company is attempting to reduce general and administrative expenses while generating revenue in order to develop profitability. The reduction is mainly due to reductions in insurance and office expenses.

Legal and Accounting

Legal and accounting fees decreased $102,213 to $11,113 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $113,326 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The decrease in legal and accounting fees between the periods was primarily due to an effort to more effectively use professionals.

Payroll Expenses

Payroll expenses were $170,904 for the three months ended March 31, 2015, a decrease of $783,424 from $954,328 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The decrease relates to share based compensation issued in the first quarter of 2014, which did not occur in the first quarter of 2015. The option expense during the first quarter of 2014 was $740,954 compared to $(54,834) in the first quarter of 2015 which is related to the reversal of unvested options that were previously expensed due to terminated employees.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses were $120,386 and $864,729, for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, a decrease of $744,343. The Company continued its fund raising and limited spending for the first quarter 2015. The 2014 expense includes a charge for the technology service agreement entered into on December 31, 2012 and the reduction of resources to the research and development effort in 2015.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2015 were $22,808 as compared to $51,922 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, a decrease of $29,114. The Company has reduced expenditures such as sales related travel and certain advertising programs that it has concluded were not generating revenue.

Interest Expense

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company incurred interest expense of $30,250 as compared to $10,907 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, an increase of $19,343. The increase in interest expense was a result of an increase in debt related to the requirement for additional financing since June of 2014.

Change in Fair Value of Warrants

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company incurred an unrealized gain on the market value of warrants of $169,476 as compared to a loss of $890,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The change resulted from the valuation of warrants associated with the Investment Agreement entered into on December 31, 2012 and the Subscription Agreement entered into on January 31, 2013. The values of the warrants have increased because the stock price has increased and the difference between the warrant exercise price and the stock price has increased.

Change in Fair Value of Embedded Derivative Liability

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company incurred $0 for the change in the fair value of the embedded derivative liability as compared to a loss of $300,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The change resulted from the stock price falling below the value of the conversion option associated with the Subscription Agreement entered into on January 31, 2013.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2015, we had cash on hand of $74,572.

Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2015 decreased to $125,488 from $706,632 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, a decrease of $581,144. The decrease in net cash used in operating activities was primarily as a result of an increase in accounts payable.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $136,102 and $0, for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. The $136,102 of cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2015 related to short-term bridge loans from investors.

During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company’s operational resources were used primarily to fund general and administrative expenses, pay employees and continue the research and development projects.

As we have not realized significant revenues since our inception, we have financed our operations through public and private offerings of debt and equity securities. We do not currently maintain a line of credit or term loan with any commercial bank or other financial institution.

Since our inception, we have focused on developing and implementing our business plan. Our business plan is dependent on our ability to raise capital through private placements of our common stock and/or preferred stock, through the possible exercise of outstanding options and warrants, through debt financing and/or through a future public offering of our securities. There is no assurance that we will raise sufficient capital in order to meet our goals of implementing a sales and marketing effort to introduce our products.

Our existing cash resources will not be sufficient to sustain our operations during the next twelve months, and we may need to raise additional funds. We intend to raise such financing through private placements and/or the sale of debt and equity securities. The issuance of additional equity could result in dilution to our existing stockholders. If we are unable to obtain additional funds when they are needed or if such funds cannot be obtained on terms favorable to us, we may be unable to execute our business plan or pay our costs and expenses as they are incurred, which could have a material, adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

---

Even if we are successful in raising sufficient capital, our ability to continue in business as a viable going concern can only be achieved when our revenues reach a level that sustains our business operations. While it is impossible to predict the amount of revenues, if any, that we may receive from our products, we presently believe, based solely on our internal projections, that we will generate revenues sufficient to fund our planned business operations if the products are marketed effectively in accordance with our plans. There can be no assurance that we will raise sufficient proceeds, or any proceeds, for us to implement fully our proposed business plan. Moreover, there can be no assurance that even if our products are marketed effectively, we will generate revenues sufficient to fund our operations. In either situation, we may not be able to continue our operations and our business might fail.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2015, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our financial statements are impacted by the accounting policies used and the estimates and assumptions made by management during their preparation. We have identified below the accounting policies that are of particular importance in the presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows and which require the application of significant judgment by management.

Stock-based Compensation

We account for stock-based compensation under the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based awards made to employees and directors based on estimated fair values on the grant date. We estimate the fair value of stock-based awards on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods using the straight-line method.

We account for stock-based compensation awards to non-employees in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees (“ASC 505-50”). Under ASC 505-50, we determine the fair value of the warrants or stock-based compensation awards granted as either the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.

All issuances of stock options or other equity instruments to non-employees as consideration for goods or services received by the Company are accounted for based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued. Any stock options issued to non-employees are recorded as an expense and additional paid-in capital in stockholders’ equity over the applicable service periods using variable accounting through the vesting dates based on the fair value of the options at the end of each period.

Revenue Recognition

In accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition (Codified in FASB ASC 605), we recognize revenue when (i) persuasive evidence of a customer or distributor arrangement exists, (ii) a retailer, distributor or wholesaler receives the goods and acceptance occurs, (iii) the price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability of the sales revenues is reasonably assured. Subject to these criteria, the Company recognizes revenue from product sales, consisting mainly of pigments and penlights, upon shipment to the customer. Royalty revenue is recognized upon receipt of notification from a customer that the Company’s product has been used in the customer’s production process.

License fee revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the license agreement.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Recently issued accounting pronouncements are discussed in Note 1 of the notes to consolidated financial statements contained in this report.
