RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below, together with all of the other information included in this report, before making an investment decision. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could suffer. In that case, the trading price of our shares of common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. You should read the section entitled “Special Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements” above for a discussion of what types of statements are forward-looking statements, as well as the significance of such statements in the context of this report.

 

Risks Relating to our Business

 

Our independent registered public accounting firm’s report contains an explanatory paragraph that expresses substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company is an early stage entity and has incurred net losses of $1,544,534 for the year ended December 31, 2013 and $3,822,887 for the six months ended June 30, 2014. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had cash and a stockholders’ deficiency of $303,626 and ($1,831,393), respectively. As of June 30, 2014, the Company had cash and stockholders’ equity of $588,179 and $513,779, respectively. At December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2014, the Company had working capital (deficiency) of $($1,839,127) and $490,570, respectively. Primarily as a result of our losses and limited cash balances, our independent registered public accounting firm has included in its report for the year ended December 31, 2013, an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon, among other factors, ability to raise additional cash from equity financings, secure debt financing, and/or generate revenue from the sales of our products. We cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to raise additional capital.  If we are unable to secure additional capital, we may be required to curtail our research and development initiatives and take additional measures to reduce costs in order to conserve our cash in amounts sufficient to sustain operations and meet our obligations.

 

We are uncertain of our ability to continue as a going concern, indicating the possibility that we may not be able to operate in the future.

 

To date, we have completed only the initial stages of our business plan and we can provide no assurance that we will be able to generate a sufficient amount of revenue, if at all, from our business in order to achieve profitability.  It is not possible for us to predict at this time the potential success of our business. The revenue and income potential of our proposed business and operations are currently unknown. If we cannot continue as a viable entity, you may lose some or all of your investment in our Company.

 

Because we are an early stage company, we expect to incur significant additional operating losses.

 

The Company is an early stage entity. The amount of future losses and when, if ever, we will achieve profitability are uncertain. Our current products have not generated significant commercial revenue for our Company and there can be no guarantee that we can generate sufficient revenues from the commercial sale of our products in the near future to fund our ongoing capital needs.

 

We have a limited operating history upon which you can gauge our ability to obtain profitability.

 

We have a limited operating history and our business and prospects must be considered in light of the risks and uncertainties to which early stage companies are exposed. We cannot provide assurances that our business strategy will be successful or that we will successfully address those risks and the risks described herein. Most important, if we are unable to secure future capital, we may be unable to continue our operations. We may incur losses on a quarterly or annual basis for a number of reasons, some of which may be outside our control.

 

If we cannot obtain additional capital required to finance our research and development efforts, our business may suffer and you may lose the value of your investment.

 

We may require additional funds to further execute our business plan and expand our business. If we are unable to obtain additional capital when needed, we may have to restructure our business or delay or abandon our development and expansion plans. If this occurs, you may lose part or all of your investment.

 

 

We will have ongoing capital needs as we expand our business.  If we raise additional funds through the sale of equity or convertible securities, your ownership percentage of our common stock will be reduced. In addition, these transactions may dilute the value of our common stock.  We may have to issue securities that have rights, preferences and privileges senior to our common stock.  The terms of any additional indebtedness may include restrictive financial and operating covenants that would limit our ability to compete and expand. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain the additional financing we may need to fund our business, or that such financing will be available on terms acceptable to us.

 

We face intense competition in our market, especially from larger, well-established companies, and we may lack sufficient financial or other resources to maintain or improve our competitive position.

 

A number of other companies engage in the business of developing applications for facial recognition for access control. The market for biometric security products is intensely competitive, and we expect competition to increase in the future from established competitors and new market entrants. Our current competitors include both emerging or developmental stage companies such as ourselves as well as larger companies. Many of our existing competitors have, and some of our potential competitors could have, substantial competitive advantages such as:

 

●

Greater name recognition and longer operating histories;

●

Larger sales and marketing budgets and resources;

●

Broader distribution and established relationships with distribution partners and end-customers;

●

Greater customer support resources;

●

Greater resources to make acquisitions;

●

Larger and more mature intellectual property portfolios; and

●

Substantially greater financial, technical, and other resources.

 

In addition, some of our larger competitors have substantially broader product offerings and leverage their relationships based on other products or incorporate functionality into existing products to gain business in a manner that discourages users from purchasing our products, including through selling at zero or negative margins, product bundling, or closed technology platforms. Conditions in our market could change rapidly and significantly as a result of technological advancements, partnering by our competitors or continuing market consolidation. New start-up companies that innovate and large competitors that are making significant investments in research and development may invent similar or superior products and technologies that compete with our products and technology. Our current and potential competitors may also establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties that may further enhance their resources.

 

Our markets are subject to technological change and our success depends on our ability to develop and introduce new products.

 

Each of the governmental and commercial markets for our products is characterized by:

 

●

Changing technologies;

●

Changing customer needs;

●

Frequent new product introductions and enhancements;

●

Increased integration with other functions; and

●

Product obsolescence.

 

Our success will be dependent in part on the design and development of new products. To develop new products and designs for our target markets, we must develop, gain access to and use leading technologies in a cost-effective and timely manner and continue to expand our technical and design expertise. The product development process is time-consuming and costly, and there can be no assurance that product development will be successfully completed, that necessary regulatory clearances or approvals will be granted on a timely basis, or at all, or that the potential products will achieve market acceptance. Our failure to develop, obtain necessary regulatory clearances or approvals for, or successfully market potential new products could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Claims by others that we infringe their intellectual property rights could increase our expenses and delay the development of our business. As a result, our business and financial condition could be harmed.

 

Our industries are characterized by the existence of a large number of patents as well as frequent claims and related litigation regarding patent and other intellectual property rights. We cannot be certain that our products do not and will not infringe issued patents, patents that may be issued in the future, or other intellectual property rights of others.

 

We do not have the resources to conduct exhaustive patent searches to determine whether the technology used in our products infringes patents held by third parties. In addition, product development is inherently uncertain in a rapidly evolving technological environment in which there may be numerous patent applications pending, many of which are confidential when filed, with regard to similar technologies.

 

 

We may face claims by third parties that our products or technology infringe their patents or other intellectual property rights. Any claim of infringement could cause us to incur substantial costs defending against the claim, even if the claim is invalid, and could distract the attention of our management. If any of our products are found to violate third-party proprietary rights, we may be required to pay substantial damages. In addition, we may be required to re-engineer our products or obtain licenses from third parties to continue to offer our products. Any efforts to re-engineer our products or obtain licenses on commercially reasonable terms may not be successful, which would prevent us from selling our products, and, in any case, could substantially increase our costs and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

We may not be able to protect our intellectual property rights adequately.

 

Our ability to compete for government contracts is affected, in part, by our ability to protect our intellectual property rights. We rely on a combination of patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, confidentiality procedures and non-disclosure and licensing arrangements to protect our intellectual property rights. Despite these efforts, we cannot be certain that the steps we take to protect our proprietary information will be adequate to prevent misappropriation of our technology or protect that proprietary information. The validity and breadth of claims in technology patents involve complex legal and factual questions and, therefore, may be highly uncertain. Nor can we assure you that, if challenged, our patents will be found to be valid or enforceable, or that the patents of others will not have an adverse effect on our ability to do business. In addition, the enforcement of laws protecting intellectual property may be inadequate to protect our technology and proprietary information.

 

We may not have the resources to assert or protect our rights to our patents and other intellectual property. Any litigation or proceedings relating to our intellectual property, whether or not meritorious, will be costly and may divert the efforts and attention of our management and technical personnel.

 

We also rely on other unpatented proprietary technology, trade secrets and know-how and no assurance can be given that others will not independently develop substantially equivalent proprietary technology, techniques or processes, that such technology or know-how will not be disclosed or that we can meaningfully protect our rights to such unpatented proprietary technology, trade secrets, or know-how. Although intend to enter into non-disclosure agreements with our employees and consultants, there can be no assurance that such non-disclosure agreements will provide adequate protection for our trade secrets or other proprietary know-how.

 

Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to obtain new patents.

 

To date, we have licensed sixteen (16) United States patents and our success will depend, in part, on our ability to obtain patent and trade secret protection for proprietary technology that we currently possess or that we may develop in the future. No assurance can be given that any pending or future patent applications will issue as patents, that the scope of any patent protection obtained will be sufficient to exclude competitors or provide competitive advantages to us, that any of our patents will be held valid if subsequently challenged or that others will not claim rights in or ownership of the patents and other proprietary rights held by us.

 

Furthermore, there can be no assurance that our competitors have not or will not independently develop technology, processes or products that are substantially similar or superior to ours, or that they will not duplicate any of our products or design around any patents issued or that may be issued in the future to us. In addition, whether or not patents are issued to us, others may hold or receive patents which contain claims having a scope that covers products or processes developed by us.

 

We may not have the resources to adequately defend any patent infringement litigation or proceedings. Any such litigation or proceedings, whether or not determined in our favor or settled by us, is costly and may divert the efforts and attention of our management and technical personnel. In addition, we may be required to obtain licenses to patents or proprietary rights from third parties. There can be no assurance that such licenses will be available on acceptable terms if at all. If we do not obtain required licenses, we could encounter delays in product development or find that the development, manufacture or sale of products requiring such licenses could be foreclosed. Accordingly, challenges to our intellectual property, whether or not ultimately successful, could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

 

 

We rely on a third party for licenses relating to a critical component of our technology. The failure of such licensor would materially and adversely affect our business and product offerings.

 

We currently license technology for a critical component of our current product offerings from a third party. The third party’s independent registered public accounting firm included an explanatory paragraph in its audit report as it relates to the third party’s ability to continue as a going concern in its recent financial statement. In the event that our licensor were to fail, it could impact our license arrangement and impede our ability to further commercialize our technology. In the event we were to lose our license or our license were to be renegotiated as a result of our licensor’s failure, our ability to manage our business would suffer and it would significantly harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

 

Our future success depends on the continued service of management, engineering and sales personnel and our ability to identify, hire and retain additional personnel.

 

Our success depends, to a significant extent, upon the efforts and abilities of members of senior management. We have entered into an employment agreement with our Chief Executive Officer, but have not entered into an employment agreement with our Chief Technology Officer and have no current plans to use employment agreements as a tool to attract and retain new hires that we may make of key personnel in the future. The loss of the services of one or more of our senior management or other key employees could adversely affect our business. We do not currently maintain key person life insurance on any of our officers, employees or consultants, but are in the process of attempting to obtain such insurance on our senior most personnel. There is no guarantee we will be able to obtain such insurance or if we are able to obtain such insurance to do so on acceptable terms to us.

 

There is intense competition for qualified employees in our industry, particularly for highly skilled design, applications, engineering and sales people. We may not be able to continue to attract and retain developers, managers, or other qualified personnel necessary for the development of our business or to replace qualified individuals who may leave us at any time in the future. Our anticipated growth is expected to place increased demands on our resources, and will likely require the addition of new management and engineering staff as well as the development of additional expertise by existing management employees. If we lose the services of or fail to recruit engineers or other technical and management personnel, our business could be harmed.

 

The requirements of being a public company may strain our resources and divert management’s attention.

 

As a public company, we are subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Act and other applicable securities rules and regulations. Compliance with these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time-consuming, or costly, and increase demand on our systems and resources. The Exchange Act requires, among other things, that we file annual and current reports with respect to our business and operating results.

 

As a result of disclosure of information in this prospectus and in filings required of a public company, our business and financial condition is more visible, which we believe may result in threatened or actual litigation, including by competitors and other third parties. If such claims are successful, our business and operating results could be harmed, and even if the claims do not result in litigation or are resolved in our favor, these claims, and the time and resources necessary to resolve them, could divert resources of our management and harm our business and operating results.

  

 

Periods of rapid growth and expansion could place a significant strain on our resources, including our employee base, which could negatively impact our operating results.

 

We may experience periods of rapid growth and expansion, which may place significant strain and demands on our management, our operational and financial resources, customer operations, research and development, marketing and sales, administrative, and other resources. To manage our possible future growth effectively, we will be required to continue to improve our management, operational and financial systems. Future growth would also require us to successfully hire, train, motivate and manage our employees. In addition, our continued growth and the evolution of our business plan will require significant additional management, technical and administrative resources. If we are unable to manage our growth successfully we may not be able to effectively manage the growth and evolution of our current business and our operating results could suffer.

 

We depend on contract manufacturers, and our production and products could be harmed if it is unable to meet our volume and quality requirements and alternative sources are not available.

 

We rely on contract manufacturers to provide manufacturing services for our products. If these services become unavailable, we would be required to identify and enter into an agreement with a new contract manufacturer or take the manufacturing in-house. The loss of our contract manufacturers could significantly disrupt production as well as increase the cost of production, thereby increasing the prices of our products. These changes could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

 

Our insiders and affiliated parties beneficially own a significant portion of our stock.

 

As of the date of hereof, our executive officers, directors, and affiliated parties beneficially own approximately 85% of our common stock. As a result, our executive officers, directors and affiliated parties will have significant influence to:

 

●

Elect or defeat the election of our directors;

●

Amend or prevent amendment of our certificate of incorporation or bylaws;

●

Effect or prevent a merger, sale of assets or other corporate transaction; and

●

Affect the outcome of any other matter submitted to the stockholders for vote.

 

In addition, any sale of a significant amount of our common stock held by our directors and executive officers, or the possibility of such sales, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Management’s stock ownership may discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us, which in turn could reduce our stock price or prevent our stockholders from realizing any gains from our common stock.  

 

We are presently a small company with limited resources and personnel to establish a comprehensive system of internal controls. If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we would not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud. As a result, current and potential stockholders could lose confidence in our financial reporting, which would harm our business and the trading price of our stock.

 

Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and effectively prevent fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our brand and operating results would be harmed. We may in the future discover areas of our internal controls that need improvement. For example, because of size and limited resources, our external auditors may determine that we lack the personnel and infrastructure necessary to properly carry out an independent audit function.  Although we believe that we have adequate internal controls for a company with our size and resources, we are not certain that the measures that we have in place will ensure that we implement and maintain adequate controls over our financial processes and reporting in the future. Any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, would harm our operating results or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations. Inferior internal controls would also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which would have a negative effect on our company and, if a public market develops for our securities, the trading price of our stock.

 

  

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 

If we do not effectively manage changes in our business, these changes could place a significant strain on our management and operations.

 

Our ability to grow successfully requires an effective planning and management process.  The expansion and growth of our business could place a significant strain on our management systems, infrastructure and other resources.  To manage our growth successfully, we must continue to improve and expand our systems and infrastructure in a timely and efficient manner.  Our controls, systems, procedures and resources may not be adequate to support a changing and growing company.  If our management fails to respond effectively to changes and growth in our business, including acquisitions, this could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects.

 

We are an emerging growth company within the meaning of the Securities Act, and if we decide to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to emerging growth companies, our common stock could be less attractive to investors.

 

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, or the JOBS Act. For as long as we continue to be an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We could be an emerging growth company for up to five years, although we could lose that status sooner if our revenues exceed $1 billion, if we issue more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt in a three year period, or if the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, in which case we would no longer be an emerging growth company as of the following December 31. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.

 

Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies may also delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have irrevocably elected not to avail ourselves of this exemption from new or revised accounting standards and, therefore, will be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.

 

Risks Related To Our Biometric Recognition Applications and Related Products

 

Our biometric products and technologies may not be accepted by the intended commercial consumers of our products, which could harm our future financial performance.

 

There can be no assurance that our biometric systems will achieve wide acceptance by commercial consumers of such security-based products, and market acceptance generally. The degree of market acceptance for products and services based on our technology will also depend upon a number of factors, including the receipt and timing of regulatory approvals, if any, and the establishment and demonstration of the ability of our proposed device to provide the level of security in an efficient manner and at a reasonable cost. Our failure to develop a commercial product to compete successfully with existing security technologies could delay, limit or prevent market acceptance. Moreover, the market for new biometric-based security systems is largely undeveloped, and we believe that the overall demand for mobile biometric-based security systems technology will depend significantly upon public perception of the need for such a level of security. There can be no assurance that the public will believe that our level of security is necessary or that private-industry will actively pursue our technology as a means to solve their security issues. Long-term market acceptance of our products and services will depend, in part, on the capabilities, operating features and price of our products and technologies as compared to those of other available products and services. As a result, there can be no assurance that currently available products, or products under development for commercialization, will be able to achieve market penetration, revenue growth or profitability.

 

 

Our biometric applications may become obsolete if we do not effectively respond to rapid technological change on a timely basis.

 

The biometric identification and personal identification industries are characterized by rapid technological change, frequent new product innovations, changes in customer requirements and expectations and evolving industry standards. If we are unable to keep pace with these changes, our business may be harmed. Products using new technologies, or emerging industry standards, could make our technologies less attractive. If addition, we may face unforeseen problems when developing our products, which could harm our business. Furthermore, our competitors may have access to technologies not available to us, which may enable them to produce products of greater interest to consumers or at a more competitive cost.

 

Our biometric applications are new and our business model is evolving.  Because of the new and evolving nature of biometric technology, it is difficult to predict the size of this specialized market, the rate at which the market for our biometric applications will grow or be accepted, if at all, or whether other biometric technologies will render our applications less competitive or obsolete.  If the market for our biometric applications fails to develop or grows slower than anticipated, we would be significantly and materially adversely affected.

  

If our products and services do not achieve market acceptance, we may never have significant revenues or any profits.

 

If we are unable to operate our business as contemplated by our business model or if the assumptions underlying our business model prove to be unfounded, we could fail to achieve our revenue and earnings goals within the time we have projected, or at all, which would have a detrimental effect on our business.  As a result, the value of your investment could be significantly reduced or completely lost.

 

We may in the future experience competition from other biometric application developers.

 

Competition in the development of biometric recognition is expected to become more intense.  Competitors range from university-based research and development graphics labs to development-stage companies and major domestic and international companies.  Many of these entities have financial, technical, marketing, sales, distribution and other resources significantly greater than those of our company.  There can be no assurance that we can continue to develop our biometric technologies or that present or future competitors will not develop technologies that render our biometric applications obsolete or less marketable or that we will be able to introduce new products and product enhancements that are competitive with other products marketed by industry participants.

 

We may fail to create new applications for our products and enter new markets, which would have an adverse effect on our operations, financial condition and prospects.

 

Our future success depends in part on our ability to develop and market our technology for applications other than those currently intended. If we fail in these goals, our business strategy and ability to generate revenues and cash flow would be significantly impaired. We intend to expend significant resources to develop new technology, but the successful development of new technology cannot be predicted and we cannot guarantee we will succeed in these goals.

 

Our products may have defects, which could damage our reputation, decrease market acceptance of our products, cause us to lose customers and revenue and result in costly litigation or liability.

 

Our products may contain defects for many reasons, including defective design or manufacture, defective material or software interoperability issues. Products as complex as those we offer, frequently develop or contain undetected defects or errors. Despite testing defects or errors may arise in our existing or new products, which could result in loss of revenue, market share, failure to achieve market acceptance, diversion of development resources, injury to our reputation, and increased service and maintenance cost. Defects or errors in our products and solutions might discourage customers from purchasing future products. Often, these defects are not detected until after the products have been shipped. If any of our products contain defects or perceived defects or have reliability, quality or compatibility problems or perceived problems, our reputation might be damaged significantly, we could lose or experience a delay in market acceptance of the affected product or products and might be unable to retain existing customers or attract new customers. In addition, these defects could interrupt or delay sales. In the event of an actual or perceived defect or other problem, we may need to invest significant capital, technical, managerial and other resources to investigate and correct the potential defect or problem and potentially divert these resources from other development efforts. If we are unable to provide a solution to the potential defect or problem that is acceptable to our customers, we may be required to incur substantial product recall, repair and replacement and even litigation costs. These costs could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.

 

 

We will provide warranties on certain product sales and allowances for estimated warranty costs are recorded during the period of sale. The determination of such allowances requires us to make estimates of product return rates and expected costs to repair or to replace the products under warranty. We will establish warranty reserves based on our best estimates of warranty costs for each product line combined with liability estimates based on the prior twelve months’ sales activities. If actual return rates and/or repair and replacement costs differ significantly from our estimates, adjustments to recognize additional cost of sales may be required in future periods. In addition, because our customers rely on secure authentication and identification of cardholder to prevent unauthorized access to programs, PC’s, networks, or facilities, a malfunction of or design defect in its products (or even a perceived defect) could result in legal or warranty claims against us for damages resulting from security breaches. If such claims are adversely decided against us, the potential liability could be substantial and have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results. Furthermore, the possible publicity associated with any such claim, whether or not decided against us, could adversely affect our reputation. In addition, a well-publicized security breach involving smart card-based or other security systems could adversely affect the market’s perception of products like ours in general, or our products in particular, regardless of whether the breach is actual or attributable to our products. Any of the foregoing events could cause demand for our products to decline, which would cause its business and operating results to suffer.

 

Risks Related to Our Securities and this Offering

 

The market price for our common shares is particularly volatile given our status as a relatively unknown company with a small and thinly traded public float, and lack of profits, which could lead to wide fluctuations in our share price. You may be unable to sell your common shares at or above your purchase price, which may result in substantial losses to you.

 

The market for our common shares is characterized by significant price volatility when compared to the shares of larger, more established companies that trade on a national securities exchange and have large public floats, and we expect that our share price will continue to be more volatile than the shares of such larger, more established companies for the indefinite future. The volatility in our share price is attributable to a number of factors. First, as noted above, our common shares are, compared to the shares of such larger, more established companies, sporadically and thinly traded. The price for our shares could, for example, decline precipitously in the event that a large number of our common shares are sold on the market without commensurate demand. Secondly, we are a speculative or “risky” investment due to our lack of profits to date. As a consequence of this enhanced risk, more risk-adverse investors may, under the fear of losing all or most of their investment in the event of negative news or lack of progress, be more inclined to sell their shares on the market more quickly and at greater discounts than would be the case with the stock of a larger, more established company that trades on a national securities exchange and has a large public float. Many of these factors are beyond our control and may decrease the market price of our common shares, regardless of our operating performance.

 

No liquid market currently exists for our common stock or warrants, and an active, liquid trading market for our common stock or warrants may not develop, which may cause our common stock to trade at a discount from the initial offering price and make it difficult for you to sell the common stock you purchase.

 

Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. Although we expect our common and warrants to begin trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market, NASDAQ may decline our application to be listed on such exchange. Further, even if NASDAQ approves the common stock and warrants for listing, there can be no assurance that there will be an active market for our shares of common stock and warrants either now or in the future. If an active and liquid trading market does not develop or if developed cannot be sustained, you may have difficulty selling any of our common stock that you purchase. The initial public offering price for the shares and related warrants will be determined by negotiations between us and the underwriters and may not be indicative of prices that will prevail in the open market following this offering. The market price of our common stock may decline below the initial offering price, and you may not be able to sell your shares of our common stock at or above the price you paid in this offering, or at all.

 

If and when a larger trading market for our common stock develops, the market price of our common stock is still likely to be highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations, and you may be unable to resell your shares at or above the price at which you acquired them.

 

The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a number of factors that are beyond our control, including, but not limited to:

 

	·	Variations in our revenues and operating expenses;
	·	Actual or anticipated changes in the estimates of our operating results or changes in stock market analyst recommendations regarding our common stock, other comparable companies or our industry generally;
	·	Market conditions in our industry, the industries of our customers and the economy as a whole;
	·	Actual or expected changes in our growth rates or our competitors’ growth rates;
	·	Developments in the financial markets and worldwide or regional economies;
	·	Announcements of innovations or new products or services by us or our competitors;
	·	Announcements by the government relating to regulations that govern our industry;
	·	Sales of our common stock or other securities by us or in the open market; and
	·	Changes in the market valuations of other comparable companies.

 

 

In addition, if the market for technology stocks or the stock market in general experiences loss of investor confidence, the trading price of our common stock could decline for reasons unrelated to our business, financial condition or operating results. The trading price of our shares might also decline in reaction to events that affect other companies in our industry, even if these events do not directly affect us. Each of these factors, among others, could harm the value of your investment in our common stock. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market, securities class-action litigation has often been instituted against companies. Such litigation, if instituted against us, could result in substantial costs and diversion of management’s attention and resources, which could materially and adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.

 

We do not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future; you should not buy our stock if you expect dividends.

 

The payment of dividends on our common stock will depend on earnings, financial condition and other business and economic factors affecting us at such time as our board of directors may consider relevant.  If we do not pay dividends, our common stock may be less valuable because a return on your investment will only occur if our stock price appreciates.

 

We currently intend to retain our future earnings to support operations and to finance expansion and, therefore, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.

 

Investors will incur immediate and substantial dilution as a result of this offering.

 

Investors purchasing shares of our common stock in this offering will incur immediate and substantial dilution in net tangible book value per share. Assuming a public offering price of $2.75 per share, purchasers of our common stock will effectively incur dilution of $2.52 per share in the net tangible book value of their purchased shares. In addition, purchasers of common stock in this offering will have contributed approximately 49.0 % of the aggregate price paid by all purchasers of our stock but will own only approximately 8.8% of our common stock outstanding after this offering. Furthermore, you may experience further dilution to the extent that shares of our common stock are issued upon the exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants. See “Dilution”.

 

You may experience additional dilution in the future.

 

We may acquire other technologies or finance strategic alliances by issuing equity, which may result in additional dilution to our stockholders.  

We have broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds from this offering and may not use them effectively.

Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds from this offering, including for any of the purposes described in the section of this prospectus entitled “Use of Proceeds.” The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively could harm our business. Pending their use, we may invest the net proceeds from this offering in short-term, investment-grade, interest-bearing securities. These investments may not yield a favorable return to our stockholders.

 

We could issue “blank check” preferred stock without stockholder approval with the effect of diluting then current stockholder interests and impairing their voting rights, and provisions in our charter documents could discourage a takeover that stockholders may consider favorable.

 

Our certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 10,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock with designations, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by our board of directors.  Our board of directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue a series of preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights which could dilute the interest of, or impair the voting power of, our common stockholders.  The issuance of a series of preferred stock could be used as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control.  For example, it would be possible for our board of directors to issue preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to change control of our company. 

   

FINRA sales practice requirements may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

 

FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for certain customers. FINRA requirements will likely make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in our common stock. As a result, fewer broker-dealers may be willing to make a market in our common stock, reducing a stockholder’s ability to resell shares of our common stock.

 

 

Unless or until we list our common stock on NASDAQ, our common stock will be deemed a “penny stock,” which makes it more difficult for our investors to sell their shares.

 

Unless or until our common stock lists on the Nasdaq Capital Market, our common stock is subject to the “penny stock” rules adopted under Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act.  The penny stock rules generally apply to companies whose common stock is not listed on a national securities exchange and trades at less than $5.00 per share, other than companies that have had average revenue of at least $6,000,000 for the last three years or that have tangible net worth of at least $5,000,000 ($2,000,000 if the company has been operating for three or more years).  These rules require, among other things, that brokers who trade penny stock to persons other than “established customers” complete certain documentation, make suitability inquiries of investors and provide investors with certain information concerning trading in the security, including a risk disclosure document and quote information under certain circumstances.  Many brokers have decided not to trade penny stocks because of the requirements of the penny stock rules and, as a result, the number of broker-dealers willing to act as market makers in such securities is limited.  If we remain subject to the penny stock rules for any significant period, it could have an adverse effect on the market, if any, for our securities.  If our securities are subject to the penny stock rules, investors will find it more difficult to dispose of our securities.

 

We may not be able to access the equity or credit markets.

 

We face the risk that we may not be able to access various capital sources including investors, lenders, or suppliers. Failure to access the equity or credit markets from any of these sources could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, and future prospects. 

 

Persistent global economic trends could adversely affect our business, liquidity and financial results.

 

Although improving, persistent global economic conditions, particularly the scarcity of capital available to smaller businesses, could adversely affect us, primarily through limiting our access to capital and disrupting our clients’ businesses.  In addition, continuation or worsening of general market conditions in economies important to our businesses may adversely affect our clients’ level of spending and ability to obtain financing, leading to us being unable to generate the levels of sales that we require.  Current and continued disruption of financial markets could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects.

 

We may seek or need to raise additional funds. Our ability to obtain financing for general corporate and commercial purposes or acquisitions depends on operating and financial performance, and is also subject to prevailing economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors beyond our control. The global credit markets and the financial services industry have been experiencing a period of unprecedented turmoil characterized by the bankruptcy, failure or sale of various financial institutions. An unprecedented level of intervention from the U.S. and other governments has been seen. As a result of such disruption, our ability to raise capital may be severely restricted and the cost of raising capital through such markets or privately may increase significantly at a time when we would like, or need, to do so. Either of these events could have an impact on our flexibility to fund our business operations, make capital expenditures, pursue additional expansion or acquisition opportunities, or make another discretionary use of cash and could adversely impact our financial results.

 

Although recent trends point to continuing improvements, there is still lingering volatility and uncertainty. A change or disruption in the global financial markets for any reason may cause consumers, businesses and governments to defer purchases in response to tighter credit, decreased cash availability and declining consumer confidence. Accordingly, demand for our products could decrease and differ materially from their current expectations. Further, some of our customers may require substantial financing in order to fund their operations and make purchases from us. The inability of these customers to obtain sufficient credit to finance purchases of our products and meet their payment obligations to us or possible insolvencies of our customers could result in decreased customer demand, an impaired ability for us to collect on outstanding accounts receivable, significant delays in accounts receivable payments, and significant write-offs of accounts receivable, each of which could adversely impact our financial results.

Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this Report to conform our statements to actual results or changed expectations.

 

 

DIVIDEND POLICY

 

We plan to retain any earnings for the foreseeable future for our operations. We have never paid any dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination to pay cash dividends will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on our financial condition, operating results, capital requirements and such other factors as our Board of Directors deems relevant. In addition, our credit facility restricts our ability to pay dividends.

 

 

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We estimate that the net proceeds from the sale of common stock and warrants to purchase common stock offered by us will be $5,013,500.68, or $5,812,023.41 if the underwriters exercise in full their over-allotment option, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

 

We currently intend to use the net proceeds to us from this offering for general corporate purposes, including working capital, product development and marketing activities.

Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds from this offering, and investors will be relying on the judgment of our management with regard to the use of these net proceeds. Pending the use of the net proceeds from this offering as described above, we intend to invest the net proceeds in short-term, investment-grade, interest-bearing instruments.

DILUTION

 

The net tangible book value of the Company as of June 30, 2014 was $513,779, or $0.02 per share based on 22,028,285 shares of common stock outstanding on such date. The net tangible book value per share represents the amount of our total tangible assets reduced by the amount of our total liabilities, divided by the total number of shares of common stock outstanding as of June 30, 2014. After giving effect to the sale of 2,127,273 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 2,127,273 shares of common stock in this offering, at a combined public offering price of $2.75 per share and related warrant, and after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses of approximately $836,500, our as adjusted net tangible book value as of June 30, 2014 is $5,527,279, or $0.23 per common share.

 

If you participate in this offering, your interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the offering price per share and the as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our common stock immediately after the completion of this offering. This represents an immediate increase in the as adjusted net tangible book value per common share of $0.21 to our existing stockholders and an immediate dilution of $ 2.52 per share to investors participating in this offering.

 

The following table illustrates this dilution on a per share basis to new investors: 

 

Public offering price per share and related warrant		$	2.75
As adjusted net tangible book value per share as of June 30, 2014 before giving effect to this offering		$	0.02
Increase in as adjusted net tangible book value per share attributed to new investors purchasing shares and related warrants from us in this offering		$	0.21
As adjusted net tangible book value per share after giving effect to this offering		$	0.23
Dilution in as adjusted net tangible book value per share to new investors in this offering		$	2.52

 

If the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full, the net tangible book value per share of our common stock, as adjusted to give effect to this offering, would be $ 0.26 per share, and the dilution as adjusted net tangible book value per share to investors participating in this offering would be $2.49 per share of our common stock.

 

The table below summarizes as of June 30, 2014, on an as adjusted basis described above, the number of shares of our common stock, the total consideration and the average price per share (i) paid to us by our existing stockholders and (ii) to be paid by new investors before deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

 

		Shares Purchased								Total Consideration								Average Price Per
		Number				Percent				Amount				Percent				Share
Existing stockholders			22,028,285				91.2	%		$	6,090,076				51.0	%		$	0.28
New investors			2,127,273				8.8				5,850,000				49.0				2.74
Total			24,155,558				100	%		$	11,940,076				100	%		$	0.49

 

The total number of shares of our common stock reflected in the discussion and tables above is based on 22,028,285 shares of our common stock outstanding, as of June 30, 2014, and excludes:

 

●

the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option;

●

the exercise of any warrants outstanding as of June 30, 2014; and

●

any securities, options, warrants or conversion rights issued subsequent to June 30, 2014.

 

  

CAPITALIZATION

 

The following table sets forth our cash and capitalization as of June 30, 2014:

 

	●	on an actual basis;
	●	on an as adjusted basis to give effect to the sale of 2,127,273 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 2,127,273 shares of common stock based upon a combined public offering price of $ 2.75 per share and related warrant, and after deducting underwriting discounts and other estimated offering expenses payable by us of approximately $836,500. The as adjusted column assumes no exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option.

 

The information below is illustrative only and our capitalization following the completion of this offering will be adjusted based on the actual public price. You should read this table together with the sections entitled “Use of Proceeds” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” as well as our financial statements and the related notes, which appear elsewhere in this prospectus.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion and analysis of the results of operations and financial condition for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 and fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, and should be read in conjunction with our financial statements, and the notes to those financial statements that are included elsewhere in this Registration Statement.

  

Overview

 

Nxt-ID, Inc. (the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation formed on February 8, 2012. We were initially known as Trylon Governmental Systems, Inc. We changed our name to Nxt-ID, Inc. on June 25, 2012 to reflect our primary focus on our growing biometric identification, m-commerce and secure mobile platforms.

 

On or about June 25, 2012, the Company acquired 100% of the membership interests in 3D-ID LLC (“3D-ID”), a limited liability company formed in Florida in February 2011 and owned by the Company’s founders. By acquiring 3D-ID, the Company gained the rights to a portfolio of patented technology in the field of three-dimensional facial recognition and imaging including 3D facial recognition products for access control, law enforcement and travel and immigration. 3D-ID was an early stage company engaged in the design, research and development, integration, analysis, modeling, system networking, sales and support of intelligent surveillance, three-dimensional facial recognition and three-dimensional imaging devices and systems primarily for identification and access control in the security industries. Since the Company’s acquisition of 3D-ID was a transaction between entities under common control in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, “Business Combinations”, Nxt-ID recognized the net assets of 3D-ID at their carrying amounts in the accounts of Nxt-ID on the date that 3D-ID was organized, February 14, 2011.

 

We are an early stage technology company that is focused on developing and marketing products, solutions, and services for organizations that have a need for biometric secure access control. We have three distinct lines of business that we believe will form our company: law enforcement, m-commerce, and biometric access control applications. Our initial efforts are focused on our secure products offering for law enforcement, the Department of Defense, and Homeland Security through our 3D FaceMatch® biometric identification systems. In parallel we are developing a secure biometric electronic smart wallet for the growing m-commerce market. We believe that this constitutes unique technology because it takes a very different approach relative to the current offerings: instead of replacing the wallet through a smartphone, our aim is to improve it. We believe that our Wocket™ will reduce the number of cards carried in a consumer’s wallet while supporting virtually every payment method currently available at point of sale at retailers around the world, including magnetic stripe, barcodes and Quick Response (QR) Codes and in the near future near field communications, all within a secure biometric vault. We have also recently launched a new biometric authentication product named Voicematch®. This product is a new method of recognizing both speakers and specific words they use providing innovative multi-factor recognition that is efficient enough to run on low-power devices.

 

Using our biometrics technologies, we plan to address the growing m-commerce market with our innovative MobileBioÔ suite of biometric solutions that secure mobile platforms. Currently, most mobile devices continue to be protected simply by questions that a user asks and PIN numbers. This security methodology is easily duplicated on another device and can be easily spoofed or hacked. Nxt-ID’s biometric security paradigm is Dynamic Pairing Codes (DPCs). DPCs are a new, proprietary method to secure users, devices, accounts, locations and servers over any communication media by sharing key identifiers, including biometric-enabled identifiers, between end-points by passing dynamic pairing codes (random numbers) between end-points to establish sessions and/or transactions without exposing identifiers or keys. Our plan also anticipates that we will use our core biometric algorithms to develop a security application that can be used for corporations (industrial uses, such as enterprise computer networks), as well as individuals (consumer uses, such as smart phones, tablets, or personal computers).

 

In August 2013, we commenced a pilot program with the Palm Bay, Florida Police Department to evaluate the potential implementation of our 3D FaceMatch® biometric facial recognition identification systems. The pilot program is expected to expand to include other law enforcement agencies connected to 3D-ID’s BioCloud™ to improve identification of previously enrolled (booked) individuals from multiple law enforcement agencies searching from a common 3D database. We have also hired a former law enforcement officer to assist with the marketing of these products. We were also invited and have recently demonstrated our products to the Department of Defense.

 

In addition, we recently announced a three year distribution and supply agreement for the distribution of the Company’s 3D facial recognition systems in India and Sri Lanka on an exclusive basis and in the Middle East and Singapore on a non-exclusive basis.

 

To date, our operations have been funded through sales of our common stock, an initial sale of our 3D facial recognition access control and identification products, advances from an officer, a loan from Connecticut Innovations, Inc., a quasi-state owned venture capital fund and exercises of common stock purchase warrants. Our financial statements contemplate the continuation of our business as a going concern. However, we are subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with an emerging business, as noted above we have no established source of capital, and we have incurred recurring losses from operations since inception.

  

   

Results of Operations

 

Three and six months ended June 30, 2014 compared with the three and six months ended June 30, 2013

 

Revenue. There were no revenues during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 or the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. In May 2014, the Company started taking advance orders for the Wocket™ and deliveries are expected to commence in September 2014.

 

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2014 totaled $1,049,675 and consisted of research and development expenses of $259,847, selling expenses of $319,073 and general and administrative costs of $470,755. The research and development expenses primarily related to salaries and consulting services of approximately $179,632, as well as expenses of $75,326 for the development of the Company’s biometric wallet. Selling expenses consisted of $314,072 primarily for marketing consultants of $132,658 and advertising and promotion for the pre-orders for the Wocket™ of $166,509. General and administrative expenses for the period consisted of salaries of $86,097, legal, audit and accounting fees of approximately $88,475 and consulting fees for public relations of approximately $165,908. Also included is $110,000 in non-cash stock compensation to consultants and board members.

 

Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2013 totaled $152,249 and consisted primarily of research and development expenses of $84,225 and general and administrative costs of $67,535. The research and development expenses mainly related to consulting services for the design and development of the Company’s biometric wallet. General and administrative expenses for the period consisted of salaries and payments to consultants for financial consulting and public relations. The increase in expenditure for the three months ended June 30, 2014 over the same period ended June 30, 2013 is due to the increased level of research and development activity relating to the development of the Company’s biometric wallet, improving and updating the Company’s 3D facial recognition system, increased professional fees relating to consultants, increased expenses related to being publicly listed and increased rent expenses.

 

Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2014 totaled $1,559,806 and consisted of research and development expenses of $424,126, selling expenses of $377,603 and general and administrative costs of $758,077. The research and development expenses primarily related to salaries and consulting services of approximately $341,630, as well as materials of approximately $97,669 necessary for the design, development and manufacturing of the Company’s biometric wallet, and the reversal of an accrued royalty expense no longer owed by the Company in the amount of $35,000. Selling expenses consisted of $372,603 primarily for marketing consultants of $177,161 and advertising and promotion for the pre-orders for the Wocket™ of $166,509. General and administrative expenses for the period consisted of salaries of $185,597, legal, audit and accounting fees of approximately $159,475 and consulting fees for public relations of approximately $249,749. Also included is $144,000 in non-cash stock compensation to consultants and board members.

 

Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2013 totaled $593,500 and consisted of research and development expenses of $262,007, selling costs of $5,489 and general and administrative costs of $326,004. The research and development expenses mainly related to the design and development of the Company’s biometric wallet, including payments of $125,000 to a subcontractor to provide manufacturing samples of the reprogrammable magnetic stripe for the Wocket™. General and administrative expenses for the period totaled $326,004. Of this amount, $75,500 was for salaries and $80,000 was for non-cash stock compensation to a board member and to consultants for marketing and public relations. The increase in expenditure for the six months ended June 30, 2014 over the same period ended June 30, 2013 is due to the increased level of research and development activity relating to the development of the Company’s biometric wallet, improving and updating the Company’s 3D facial recognition system, increased professional fees relating to consultants, increased expenses related to being publicly listed, the addition of sales staff for pre-sales of the Company’s products and increased rent expenses.

 

Net Loss. The net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was $2,227,435 including inducement fee in connection with warrant exercise of $1,177,760. The net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was $156,749, including $4,500 in interest expense for the loan to the Company from Connecticut Innovations. The net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $3,822,887, including $30,744 in interest expense from the loan to the Company from Connecticut Innovations, and an inducement fee in connection with warrant exercise of $1,177,760. Also included is the unrealized loss on change in fair value of derivatives liabilities that were initially recorded in connection with the issuance of a convertible note payable and warrants issued in the Company’s private placement in January 2014. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recorded an unrealized loss on the change in fair value of the derivative liabilities of $1,054,577. During the period, the note payable was converted into common stock and the Company successfully modified the terms of the warrants with each of the holders. As a result, no derivative liabilities exist as of June 30, 2014. The net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $601,750, including $8,250 in interest expense for the loan to the Company from Connecticut Innovations.

 

Year ended December 31, 2013, compared with the year ended December 31, 2012.

 

Revenue. There were no revenues during the year ended December 31, 2013. In November 2012, the Company made its initial sale of its 3D facial recognition access control and identification products and software to an overseas law enforcement agency for approximately $250,000.

 

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2013, totaled $1,435,099 and consisted of research and development of $518,614, selling expenses of $81,323 and general and administrative costs of $835,162. The research and development expenses related to salaries and consulting services for the design and development and prototype of the Company’s biometric wallet of approximately $493,614 and a non-cash incentive stock based compensation to non-executive employees of $25,000. Selling expenses consisted of $80,835 for consultants and $488 for travel. General and administrative expenses for the period consisted of salaries and payments to consultants for financial consulting and public relations. This included $286,240 in non-cash stock compensation to consultants and board members.

 

 

For the year ended December 31, 2012, operating expenses totaled $396,888 and consisted of research and development of $114,269, sales commissions to an overseas distributor of $62,500 and general and administrative costs of $220,119. The research and development was spent on the completion of a new 3D facial recognition camera and integration with analytical software which resulted in the sale in November 2012 and preliminary design of the Wocket^TM. General and administrative costs consisted of management salaries of $87,500, consulting fees of $60,000, legal and professional fees of $20,800, royalties of $25,000 and other travel and office expenses.

 

The increase in expenditures for the year ended December 31, 2013 over the same period ended December 31, 2012 is due to the increased level of research and development activity relating to the development of the Company’s biometric wallet and improving and updating the Company’s 3D facial recognition systems and an increase in consulting and professional fees relating to the public listing of the Company.

 

Net Loss. The net loss for the year ended December 31, 2013, was $1,544,534, including $17,250 in interest expense for the loan to the Company from Connecticut Innovations, Inc. (“CI”) and $18,211 in amortization of debt discount. Also included is the unrealized loss in fair value of the conversion feature of the CI note in the amount of $73,974. The net loss for the year ended December 31, 2012, was $194,215.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Cash and Working Capital. We have incurred operating losses of $1,559,806 and $1,049,675 for the six and three months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. We have incurred net losses of $3,822,887 and $2,227,435 for the six and three months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. As of June 30, 2014, the Company had cash and stockholder’s equity of $588,179 and $513,779, respectively. As of June 30, 2014 the Company had working capital of $490,570.

 

Cash Used in Operating Activities. Our primary ongoing uses of operating cash relate to payments to subcontractors and vendors for research and development, salaries and related expenses and professional fees. The timing of such payments is generally even throughout the year. Our vendors and subcontractors generally provide us with normal trade payment terms. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, net cash used in operating activities amounted to $1,664,554 comprised of net loss of $3,822,887, positive adjustments to reconcile net loss to net cash used in operating activities of $2,404,352 and changes in operating assets and liabilities of negative $246,019, compared to net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 of $304,435 comprised of a net loss of $601,750, positive adjustments to reconcile net loss to net cash used in operating activities of $80,198 and changes in operating assets and liabilities of $217,117.

 

Cash Used in Investing Activities. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, net cash used in investing activities amounted to $20,887 comprised of the purchases of equipment of $16,735 and changes in restricted cash of $4,152.

 

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company used no cash for investing activities.

 

Cash Provided by Financing Activities. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company received net proceeds of $1,969,994 from the issuance of common stock and warrants and the exercise of warrants.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company received $246,000 from the issuance of common stock and the second and final tranche of a loan from Connecticut Innovations in the amount of $75,000. The Company also received an aggregate of $64,000 in cash advances from an officer of the Company and made aggregate repayments of $60,000. The advances are non-interest bearing and short-term in nature.

 

Sources of Liquidity. We are an early stage entity and incurred net losses of $3,822,887 during the six months ended June 30, 2014, which included an aggregate $2,404,352 of non-cash charges. As of June 30, 2014, the Company had working capital and stockholders’ equity of $490,570 and $513,779, respectively.

 

In order to execute the Company's long-term strategic plan to develop and commercialize its core products, the Company will need to raise additional funds through public or private equity offerings, debt financings, or other means. The Company can give no assurance that additional funds will be available on reasonable terms, or available at all, or that it will generate sufficient revenue to alleviate the going concern. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company’s ability to execute its business plan is dependent upon its ability to raise additional equity, secure debt financing, and/or generate revenue. Should the Company not be successful in obtaining the necessary financing, or generate sufficient revenue to fund its operations, the Company would need to curtail certain of its operational activities. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. In addition, we do not have any undisclosed borrowings or debt, and we have not entered into any synthetic leases. We are, therefore, not materially exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.

 

 

Subsequent Events

 

The Company evaluates events that have occurred after the balance sheet date but before the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.

 

Between June 12, 2014 and June 17, 2014, the Company completed a private offering of warrants to purchase common stock (the “Offering”) with a group of accredited investors, who had previously participated in the Company’s private offering of warrants to purchase common stock (the “ December Warrants”) that had occurred between December 30, 2013 and January 13, 2014 (the “Purchasers”) for total net proceeds to the Company of $4,000. Pursuant to a securities purchase agreement with the Purchasers (the “June Purchase Agreement”), the Company issued to the Purchasers warrants (the “June Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 400,000 shares (the “June Warrant Shares”) of our Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share (which has since been adjusted to $2.00 per share, as described below).  Pursuant to a securities purchase agreement, dated August 21, 2014 with the Purchasers (the “August Purchase Agreement”), the Company issued to the Purchasers warrants (the “August Warrants”; the August Warrants and the June Warrants collectively referred to herein as the “Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 100,000 shares (the “August Warrant Shares”; the December Warrants, the August Warrant Shares and the June Warrant Shares collectively referred to herein as the “Warrant Shares”) of our Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share (which has since been adjusted to $2.00 per share, as described below). The Warrants are exercisable for a period of five years from the original issue date. The exercise price for the Warrants is subject to adjustment upon certain events, such as stock splits, combinations, dividends, distributions, reclassifications, mergers or other corporate changes.  If exercised, the Warrants will provide the Company with gross proceeds of approximately $1.0 million (as a result of the adjustment in the exercise price described below). The Company determined that the effect of the issuance of the warrants was to induce the Purchasers to exercise warrants previously issued to them in the Offering and thus accounted for the issuance as an inducement.

 

On May 28, 2014, we formally launched the Wocket at a hosted event.  Since the May 28 launch, we have begun accepting advance orders for our Wocket.  As a result, we have commenced purchasing inventory for manufacturing. The Wocket is being manufactured in the United States by a well-established third-party electronic assembly house and we are also in the process of building out our fulfillment and customer support center.  As of the date of this prospectus, we anticipate beginning to fulfill our initial orders by the end of the 3^rd Quarter of 2014.

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2014 the Company received $1,200,000 in connection with the exercise of 400,000 warrants into 400,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share. Upon exercise, pursuant to the June Purchase Agreement, the Company’s Founders agreed to cancel a corresponding number of shares to be cancelled for each June Warrant Share issued. As a result, the Founders returned to the Company and the Company retired 400,000 shares of common stock. On August 21, 2014, the Company received $300,000 in connection with the exercise of 100,000 warrants into 100,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share. Upon exercise, pursuant to the August Purchase Agreement, the Company’s Founders agreed to cancel a corresponding number of shares to be cancelled for each August Warrant Share issued. As a result, the Founders will return to the Company and the Company will retire 100,000 shares of common stock.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Warrants, the consent of two of the Purchasers is required to complete this offering. In order to obtain the consent of these Purchasers, we have agreed to reduce the exercise price of all of the Warrants to $2.00 per share and issue the Purchasers an aggregate of 261,131 shares of our common stock without registration rights. In addition, the Purchasers have agreed to execute lock-up agreements and not exercise the Warrants or sell the Warrant Shares for 90 days following completion of this offering.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Certain accounting policies and estimates are particularly important to the understanding of our financial position and results of operations and require the application of significant judgment by our management or can be materially affected by changes from period to period in economic factors or conditions that are outside of our control. As a result, they are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. In applying these policies, our management uses their judgment to determine the appropriate assumptions to be used in the determination of certain estimates. Those estimates are based on our historical operations, our future business plans and projected financial results, our observance of trends in the industry and information available from other outside sources, as appropriate. Please see Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements for a more complete description of our significant accounting policies.

 

We intend to utilize the extended transition period provided in Securities Act Section 7(a)(2)(B) as allowed by Section 107(b)(1) of the JOBS Act for the adoption of new or revised accounting standards as applicable to emerging growth companies. As part of the election, we will not be required to comply with any new or revised financial accounting standard until such time that a company that does not qualify as an “issuer” (as defined under Section 2(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002) is required to comply with such new or revised accounting standards.

 

As an emerging growth company within the meaning of the rules under the Securities Act, and we will utilize certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to public companies that are not emerging growth companies. For example, we will not have to provide an auditor’s attestation report on our internal controls in future annual reports on Form 10-K as otherwise required by Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can utilize the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. Thus, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to utilize this extended transition period. Our financial statements may therefore not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards as they become applicable to public companies.

 

Basis of Presentation. The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company is subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with a new business, has no established source of revenue, and has incurred significant losses from operations since inception. The Company’s operations are dependent upon it raising additional capital. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that could result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Nxt-ID and its wholly-owned subsidiary, 3D-ID. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

 

Research and Development. Research and development costs consist of expenditures incurred during the course of planned research and investigation aimed at the discovery of new knowledge, which will be useful in developing new products or processes. The Company expenses all research and development costs as incurred.

 

Convertible Instruments. The Company applies the accounting standards for derivatives and hedging and for distinguishing liabilities from equity when accounting for hybrid contracts that feature conversion options. The accounting standards require companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments according to certain criteria. The criteria includes circumstances in which (i) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (ii) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (iii) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. The derivative is subsequently marked to market at each reporting date based on current fair value, with the changes in fair value reported in the results of operations.

 

Conversion options that contain variable settlement features such as provisions to adjust the conversion price upon subsequent issuances of equity or equity linked securities at exercise prices more favorable than that featured in the hybrid contract generally result in their bifurcation from the host instrument.

 

The Company accounts for convertible debt instruments when the Company has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments in accordance with ASC 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options”. The Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments. The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at the reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the consolidated statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option valuation model to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. The conversion feature embedded within Company’s convertible note payable does not have fixed settlement provisions as the conversion price varies based on the trading price of the Company’s common stock and the potential number of common shares to be issued upon conversion is indeterminable up to a maximum of 120,000 shares of common stock. In addition, the warrants issued in connection with the Offering (as defined in Note 8 in the consolidated financial statements) do not have fixed settlement as their exercise prices may be lowered if the Company conducts an offering in the future at a price per share below the exercise price of the warrants. Accordingly, the conversion feature and warrants have been recognized as derivative instruments. Although the Company determined the conversion feature and warrants both include an implied downside protection feature, it performed a Monte-Carlo simulation and concluded that the difference in value between the Monte-Carlo simulation and the Black-Scholes valuation model is de minimis and the use of the Black-Scholes valuation model is considered to be a reasonable method to value each instrument. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date. 

 

Debt Discount and Amortization of Debt Discount. Debt discount represents the fair value of embedded conversion options of various convertible debt instruments and attached convertible equity instruments issued in connection with debt instruments. The debt discount is amortized over the earlier of (i) the term of the debt or (ii) conversion of the debt, using the straight-line method which approximates the interest method. The amortization of debt discount is included as a component of other expenses in the accompanying statements of operations.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Our Company

 

We are an early stage technology company that is focused on products, solutions, and services that have a need for biometric secure access control. We have three distinct lines of business that we are currently pursuing: mobile commerce (“m-commerce”), law enforcement and biometric access control applications. Our initial efforts have primarily focused on the development of our secure products for the growing m- commerce market, most immediately, a secure mobile electronic smart wallet. Wocket™ is a smart wallet, the next evolution in smart devices following the smart phone and smart watch, designed to protect your identity and replace all the cards in your wallet, with no smart phone required. Wocket™ works anywhere credit cards are accepted and only works with your biometric stamp of approval. Credit, debit, ATM, loyalty, gift, ID, membership, insurance, ticket, emergency, medical, business, contacts, coupon, and virtually any card can be protected on Wocket™. More than 10,000 cards, records, coupons, etc. and 100 voice commands can also be stored on Wocket™.

 

Our plan also anticipates that we will use our core biometric facial and voice recognition algorithms to develop security applications (both cloud based and locally hosted) that can be used for corporations (industrial uses, such as enterprise computer networks) as well as individuals (consumer uses, such as smart phones, tablets or personal computers). Finally, our plan calls for a suite of high level security products and facial recognition applications that can be utilized by law enforcement, the defense industry, and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

 

We believe that our MobileBio^TM products, together with our biometric security solutions, will provide distinct advantages within these markets by improving mobile security. Currently most mobile devices continue to be protected simply by questions that a user asks, and PIN numbers. This security methodology is easily duplicated on another device, and can be easily spoofed or hacked. Nxt-ID’s biometric security paradigm is Dynamic Pairing Codes (DPC). DPC are a new, proprietary method to secure users, devices, accounts, locations and servers over any communication media by sharing key identifiers, including biometric-enabled identifiers, between end-points by passing dynamic pairing codes (random numbers) between end-points to establish sessions and/or transactions without exposing identifiers or keys. The recent high-level breaches of personal credit card data raises serious concerns among consumers about the safety of their money. These consumers are also resistant to letting technology companies learn even more about their personal purchasing habits.

 

The Company also plans to service the access control and law enforcement facial recognition markets with our existing 3D facial recognition technology products beginning with U.S. federal and state governmental agencies. These products, whose underlying technologies have been licensed by the Company, provide customers with the capability to enroll subjects in a 3D database and use that database for verification of identities. During 2012, the Company acquired 100% of the membership interests in an entity affiliated with its founders as a means toward advancing its business plan.

  

Wocket™

 

We believe that many credit card holders either do not possess a smartphone or will be reluctant to use their smartphone for mobile payments. Nxt-ID has developed a separate physical electronic smart wallet that is intended to hold information from credit cards, debit cards, loyalty cards, identification cards, and virtually any magnetic stripe card to allow the owner of the card to configure a single, dynamic, electronic card to replicate any of the copied cards and thereby reduce the number of physical cards carried in a wallet. As designed, users will simply scan in each card, slide through each of the scanned “soft-cards” via a touch screen display and select the card the user wishes to program. The resultant electronic card can then be swiped just like a regular credit, debit, or virtually any other card. The system consists of 2 devices: an electronic smart wallet “wocket” and a dynamic smart card. The electronic smart wallet will be secured by biometric identification and will also have a range of accessories that allow the user to carry a driver’s license and cash in the same device, replacing the wallet altogether. We have completed the design stage of the Wocket™ and prototypes are currently being fabricated.

 

 

Wocket™ prototype

 

Our current plans call for us to commence manufacturing the product in late September 2014.

 

  

MobileBio VoiceMatch®

 

Voicematch® is a new method of recognizing both speakers and specific words providing innovative multi-factor recognition. Voice authentication is a more natural biometric method of authentication than fingerprint that allows an individual access to multiple devices. Voicematch is efficient enough to run on low-power devices and runs or will run on mobile platforms such as Android and iOS, as well as laptops and desktops. The product helps to address the growing BYOD (Bring your own device) problem for corporations by positively identifying the individual using the mobile device. Voicematch is a potential original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) product for Smartphone manufacturers. The product will also be sold as a standard development kit (“SDK”) to provide corporations the opportunity to add a further layer of biometric protection to their websites and smartphone applications for their customers.

 

The Company’s business plan anticipates that sales will commence in the first half of 2015, although no assurance can be provided of this.

 

FaceMatch®

 

FaceMatch® is intended to serve as a modular facial recognition system for smartphones, tablets, laptop and desktop computers. FaceMatch®, depending on the number of cameras available and level of security desired, will use 2D, partial 3D or 3D facial recognition algorithms to allow the user access to their device. As being developed, the software is intended to be hosted on the device or through a cloud computing solution. The software will also be designed to be available as an “app” on the iPhone and Android platforms, although there are presently no definitive agreements in place with either of the sponsors of those platforms. The FaceMatch® app will not retain any personal information on the user. The FaceMatch® app is near the completion of its development for desktop and laptop use. The development work for the FaceMatch® app for tablet and smartphone use has not yet begun but will use the same basic technology. Our current plans assume that sales from this product will commence during the 4th Quarter of 2014, although no assurances can be provided of this.

 

Through the acquisition of 3D-ID LLC, the Company acquired 3D FaceMatch® and 3D SketchArtist™ facial recognition products which are available for sale. These products are primarily designed for access control, law enforcement and travel and immigration in contrast to the MobileBio™ products which are designed for individual security on mobile devices.

 

3D FaceMatch® Biometric Identity Systems

 

The ActiveID Biometric Identity System is a completely modular and field proven identity management platform providing fusion of 3D facial recognition, 2D facial recognition and optional fingerprint biometrics. Available as a standalone solution or readily integrated into national scale systems for travel and immigration, access control and law enforcement, ActiveID products feature patented FaceMatch® 3D facial recognition.

 

A complete ActiveID solution includes: 1) one or more Enrollment Systems including integrated lighting for high-quality mug shot or passport imagery; 2) databases containing enrolled 3D facial templates, 2D images, application-tailored personal data, and optional fingerprints; and 3) one or more Verifier and/or Identifier stations to determine identities. Duplicate ID/imposter searches can be performed at any step.

 

Except for the Biometric Camera hardware, all products consist of software running on industry-standard encrypted networks, databases, and computers. All software is easily customized to support specific process needs, and several pre-configured solutions are available including prisoner management, facility access control, and fused face/fingerprint verification.

 

 

 

 

3D SketchArtist™

 

3D SketchArtist™ is a 3D software face composite sketch tool that makes sketching a face simple, fast, and realistic. Using patented 3D morphing technology, law enforcement professionals can now sketch an accurate composite with 3D life-like features. 3D SketchArtist™ transforms ordinary sketches into rapidly evolving mock-ups that can be modified with a simple click of the mouse. Facial features, poses, expressions, and even lighting can be modified to reflect a witness description in mere seconds. 3D SketchArtist™ is user-friendly so that anyone can use it to render accurate composites of a suspect, quickly and easily. What once could only be performed by professional sketch artists can now be performed with minimal training.

 

Our Corporate History

 

We were incorporated in the state of Delaware on February 8, 2012. We are a technology company with particular core competencies in biometrics that is targeting the growing m-commerce market with our innovative MobileBio™ suite of biometric solutions that are intended to secure mobile platforms. Our MobileBio™ solutions are intended to provide distinct advantages within these markets by filling a gap left by traditional biometric solutions that either are physically integrated and thus, not flexible or versatile, or provide poor interoperability between different mobile devices and insecure remote services. The Company also plans to serve the access control and law enforcement facial recognition markets.

 

Effective June 25, 2012, the Company acquired 100% of the membership interests in 3D-ID, LLC (“3D-ID”), a limited liability company formed in Florida in February 2011 and owned by the Company’s founders. Since this was a transaction between entities under common control, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, “Business Combinations”, Nxt-ID recognized the net assets of 3D-ID at their carrying amounts in the accounts of Nxt-ID on the date that 3D-ID was organized, February 14, 2011. Our corporate headquarters are in Shelton, CT.

 

  

Gino Pereira and David Tunnell, the founders of Nxt-ID, were an integral part of the senior management teams at Technest Holdings, an OTC Bulletin Board public company, and its subsidiary Genex Technologies. Genex Technologies was founded in 1995 to develop and commercialize the unique Rainbow® method of capturing 3D data. Since its founding Genex has developed into one of the market leaders in advanced imaging, including 3D and 360-degree technologies.

 

Genex has developed innovative technologies and products for all aspects of imaging, including capture, processing, display, and enhancement. Genex’s products range from 3D cameras to surveillance algorithms to integrated facial recognition systems.

 

Genex and Technest have won awards from the Department of Defense, National Institutes of Health (“NIH”), National Institute of Standards and Technology (“NIST”) and National Science Foundation (“NSF”) amounting to over $30 million in support of this technology.

 

Nxt-ID has licensed all the Technest/Genex technology (exclusively in Federal, State and Municipal applications) through the acquisition of 3D-ID to provide a product portfolio and a strong technical foundation for its further development efforts.

 

In addition, Nxt-ID has also licensed on a non exclusive basis, distribution, manufacturing rights and know-how from Geometrix, a leading 3D imaging company using a different technical approach to Technest. This technology performed very favorably at the Face Recognition Vendor Test conducted by NIST.

 

Nxt-ID also has key scientific and engineering personnel that have had key roles in the development of these technologies and have an important intellectual knowledge base that the Company intends to leverage.

 

Our Industry

 

The 2013 Federal Reserve Payments Study reported that there were 775.4 million general-purpose cards in force nationally in 2012. Of these cards, only 47.1 million were estimated to have security chips on them.

 

Some experts believe that in the foreseeable future most people will have embraced and fully adopted the use of smart-device swiping for purchases they make, nearly eliminating the need for cash or credit cards. These experts feel that the explosive growth in the use of smartphones and other mobile devices, combined with the convenience, security, and other affordances of mobile payments systems, makes these systems an obvious choice to replace established modes of payment in day-to-day commerce.

 

Others who do not agree with this scenario say cash and credit cards will remain the dominant method of carrying out transactions in advanced countries because the security implications raise too many concerns among consumers about the safety of their money. These consumers are also resistant to letting technology companies learn even more about their personal purchasing habits.

 

We believe that credit and debit card fraud will continue to be of concern to holders, even if the number of credit card holders/users continues to grow and with it the number of credit card transactions. We believe there is a significant segment of this market that either does not possess a smartphone or will be reluctant to use their smartphone for mobile payments due to a variety of reasons including: limited battery life; dependency on wireless network coverage; and well publicized security threats. 

 

Rather than depend solely on a smart phone, Nxt-ID’s business plan is to develop a next generation electronic smart wallet. We believe that this constitutes unique technology because it takes a very different approach relative to the current offerings: instead of replacing the wallet, our aim is to improve it. We believe that our Wocket™ will reduce the number of cards to be carried in a consumer’s wallet while capable of supporting most payment methods currently available at Point-of-Sale (POS) retailers around the world including magnetic stripe, bar codes and QR codes in the near future, Near Field Communications (NFC) all within a secure biometric vault. We believe that we can encourage individuals who are reluctant to use a smartphone for mobile payments to utilize an electronic wallet based on the security offerings that we plan to embed in this product.

 

 

Each year approximately 12 million people in the United States are victims of identity theft and 44% of known causes of identity theft can be traced to a lost or stolen wallet or purse.

 

 

We believe that Wocket™ can significantly reduce the incidence of identity theft by concealing the cardholders personal information on a tamper proof secure chip on the Wocket that can only be accessed by a voice biometric or PIN. Furthermore, the Wocket Card does not retain any information after the card has been swiped so, unlike the loss or theft of a wallet, the loss or theft of a Wocket or Wocket Card does not lead to a breach of personal information.

 

The mobile phone worldwide market is presently approximately 1.8 billion units per year. Of that amount smart phones represent a large and growing segment of the market. Smart phones also typically serve as portable media players and camera phones with high-resolution touchscreen displays and web browsers that can access and properly display standard web pages, GPS navigation, Wi-Fi and mobile broadband access.

 

We believe that our MobileBio™ cell phone facial and voice recognition opportunity, once developed, will address a worldwide market of smart phones sales, which we believe is continuing to grow. We anticipate partnering with application providers on smartphones that have an interest in additional security for their particular application by using 3D facial and/or voice recognition on their smartphone to gain access to a particular application; for example, touchless payment applications, banking applications and securities trading applications.

 

Other Uses for Facial Recognition Technology

 

Biometric identifiers have long been used by governments and commercial enterprises to verify a person’s identity. Signatures are an example of a behavioral biometric that has been used for centuries. With the advent of the photograph, the first paper-based physiological biometric technique was developed to verify a person’s identity. Photographs on passports and drivers licenses are obvious examples of early biometric features added to government-issued identity documents.

 

On the other hand, law enforcement agencies have routinely used fingerprints to positively identify suspects of a crime. In the 1990s, the use of fingerprints for criminal systems entered the digital age when the FBI awarded a contract to a team of Martin Marietta, Sagem Morpho, and Calspan (later known as the Lockheed Martin team) to build an electronic storage and search system that incorporated fingerprint files (or Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System - IAFIS), replacing the paper files. By capturing biometric information electronically and storing the files within a secure network for over 10 years, the U.S. government has been creating the foundation for greater use of biometrics in government and commercial activities.

 

However, terrorists and other criminals are now more capable of subverting traditional paper-based security measures through improved forgery and information-sharing technology and techniques. Furthermore, the evolution of the internet and the subsequent deviation from paper-based data storage and processes to electronic-based systems has opened the door to increased identity theft and other fraudulent activities within the commercial world.

 

In order to address deficiencies in current security systems used, we intend to market products that can be used by both government and commercial consumers as a viable, more powerful alternative to security measures currently being used by them. Nxt-ID believes that its products will contain the necessary security solutions to cover both consumer preferences with MobileBio FaceMatch® and the Wocket™ and government and commercial needs with its 3D facial recognition access control products.

 

Our Competition

 

The markets for our products are extremely competitive and are characterized by rapid technological change as a result of technical developments exploited by our competitors, changing technical needs of customers, and frequent introductions of new features. We expect competition to increase as other companies introduce products that are competitively priced, that may have increased performance or functionality, or that incorporate technological advances not yet developed or implemented by us. Some of our present and potential competitors may have financial, marketing, and research resources substantially greater than ours.

 

Competitors in the digital wallet marketplace include:

 

Google Wallet – A mobile payment system developed by Google that allows its users to store debit cards, credit cards, loyalty cards, and gift cards among other things, as well as redeeming sales promotions on their mobile phone.

 

Paypal – A mobile service that can send money between other PayPal users and friends, track your balances, check in to pay from ones phone, and order ahead at restaurants.

 

 

Square wallet – Links user credit card to its app, but instead of paying directly with the credit card, it requires the use of merchant cards, which limits its usage to only certain merchants. Because it is location based, the store knows you’re ordering something and will charge it to the card linked on your Square account.

 

Isis – A mobile app that lets a user store virtual versions of nearly everything in ones wallet, on ones smartphone. It uses NFC technology for contactless payments.

 

Lemon Wallet – A mobile app that allows users to store debit, credit, ID, insurance member and loyalty cards. The app turns that information into a barcode to be scanned by merchants. Users can also connect payment cards to their bank allowing users to check their balance and make transactions from within the app. This company was recently acquired by Lifelock.

 

All of the above products rely on the use of a smartphone. The fundamental competitive advantage of the Wocket is that it is not smartphone dependent and is as simple to use as the swipe of a credit card. It will work in situations where there is no cell phone signal or internet connectivity. In addition the Wocket features biometric and other security features not available on a smartphone.

 

There are a number of suppliers of biometric products that deliver to the market place presently. One of the largest suppliers is L1 Identity Solutions, which has primarily concentrated its prior efforts in the government and corporate sectors. L1 is a vertically integrated biometric solutions provider with a large established base of business and it has well developed government marketing channels. The Company was sold to Safran in 2010. Another established supplier is Cognitec, a German facial recognition company, with worldwide distribution.

 

Google and Apple are developing facial recognition applications for smartphones. The Google app can currently be fooled by using a photograph of the user. Apple is using a 2D to 3D conversion model which holds better promise but this is already a heavily patented area.

 

Rather than competing directly against these well-established entities, Nxt-ID’s plans to develop and foster market niches that would serve affordable lower priced retail consumer, small business biometric applications and end users not necessarily involved in large enterprise activities. We believe that our MobileBio™ technology that we are developing is the key to differentiating our solutions to the end user by providing what we maintain is a true end-to-end security offering using our patent-pending dynamic pairing codes that dynamically utilize identifiers that uniquely identify the user, device, manufacturer, account, location, and session or transaction, the combination of which changes periodically in real-time among all points along the communication path so that communication and data is protected 100% of the time.  The biosensors that we are developing are intended to integrate with multiple devices, apps, users, operating systems, firmware, remote services and virtually any “entities” so that intercommunications with all entities, local or remote, are protected. One of the major areas of concern with facial recognition is user privacy with most companies utilizing private data for other marketing purposes. The Nxt-ID apps will not sell or share any personal information on the user.

 

Nxt-ID plans to offer what we believe to be unique features that will include cloud-based identity and authentication MobileBio™ management services that secure biometric authentication across mobile devices, as well as a new, innovative Facial Recognition technology and a physical alternative to current e-wallets that are embedded in smartphones.

 

The value proposition that we plan to offer customers with our versatile, simple MobileBio™ technology is complete interoperability of sensors with mobile applications and cloud-based services, which will secure the mobile money/m-commerce market by filling a versatility and flexibility gap in lacking with current solutions.

 

In order to compete effectively in this environment, our plan is to continually develop and market new and enhanced products at competitive prices, and have the resources to invest in significant research and development activities. There is a risk that we may not be able to make the technological advances necessary to compete successfully. Existing and new competitors may enter or expand their efforts in our markets, or develop new products to compete against ours. Our competitors may develop new technologies or enhancements to existing products or introduce new products that will offer superior price or performance features. New products or technologies may render our products obsolete. Many of our primary competitors are well-established companies that have substantially greater financial, managerial, technical, marketing, personnel and other resources than we do.

  

Our Business Strategy 

 

Against the backdrop of challenges with identification of individuals, more and more mobile phones are being used as a source of payment for goods and services. Our business is premised on the belief that worldwide mobile payment volume will continue to grow rapidly in the upcoming years. Many global companies have announced plans for mobile payments including AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, T-Mobile, Google, Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, Bank of America, Barclays, RIM and others.  The risks and concerns of fraud accompanying the introduction of these potential applications are financially enormous and could hamper the growth of this budding industry. As a result of these concerns, the Company believes that the “m-commerce/mobile money” market is positioned to grow rapidly.

 

 

We intend to initially market the Wocket™ to colleges. Students are traditionally early technology adopters and the college environment has a need for simplification of the methods for students to both make payments and gain access to restricted environments on campus through easy to use improved security.

 

Thereafter we will expand our reach through distinct channel partners that have a large body of members or subscribers that have a need for secure transactions and identity protection. Concurrently, we will market the Wocket™ directly to consumers through internet marketing.

 

Worldwide, government agencies, financial, corporate and industrial entities are investing a considerable amount of resources into improving security systems as a result of ongoing security breaches which accompany acts of terrorism, financial and resource thefts that dangerously expose flaws and weaknesses in today’s safety mechanisms. Badge or password-based authentication procedures are too easy to hack. Biometrics represents a viable and robust alternative but also has potential for drawbacks as well; for example, iris scanning, while very reliable is considered too intrusive; fingerprints are socially accepted, but not applicable to non-consenting individuals and have proven to be fooled. Alternatively, facial recognition represents a good compromise between what’s socially acceptable and what’s reliable, even when operating under controlled conditions. We believe that facial recognition has emerged as one of the fastest growing technologies among the biometric technologies accepted worldwide. Facial recognition is applicable to both verification and identification. In addition, it is the only biometric system that can routinely be used in a covert manner for surveillance of uncooperative individuals as a person’s face is easily captured at a distance by video technology with or without consent.

 

Based on our anecdotal analysis of certain macro trends, we believe that the world-wide facial recognition market for all applications of the technology grow for the foreseeable future as consumers come to understand and adapt biometric technologies as a preferred manner for security, particularly mobile security. We believe that 3D facial recognition technology will gain traction for access control and is already being used by organizations with a high traffic volume to quickly, easily and securely authenticate users. Currently, 2D facial recognition is used primarily by law enforcement officials to identify someone by comparing their 2D image against a large database of pictures, whereas 3D facial recognition is designed primarily for verification - to confirm that someone is exactly whom they say they are. 3D face readers can also be used with PINs, access control cards and other biometric factors for multifactor authentication. 3D face recognition is as fast and accurate as fingerprint technology and is ideal in situations where workers’ hands are full or dirty, or where employees wear gloves or other applications where fingerprints would be inconvenient or difficult to obtain.

 

Nxt-ID plans call for the positioning of its products to have applications in markets as diverse as Military and Homeland Defense, Law Enforcement, Commercial and Consumer.

 

For sales to the Department of Defense, Nxt-ID is partnered with established Prime Contractors that have or are bidding for Contact vehicles through which sales may be made. Our current Partners include Battelle Memorial Institute and Verizon Federal Systems.

 

We currently plan for our sales to Law Enforcement Agencies to be made through distributors. Our management has several key relationships from past engagements that it is pursuing.

 

We intend to market the MobileBio VoiceMatch and FaceMatch® product to application providers on iPhone and Android devices that have a need to increased security because of the nature of the application. To make potential buyers aware of the product the Company will use social networks, such as Twitter, Facebook and YouTube as well as traditional PR.

 

Our Intellectual Property

 

Our ability to compete effectively depends to a significant extent on our ability to protect our proprietary information. We currently rely and will continue to rely primarily on patents and trade secret laws and confidentiality procedures to protect our intellectual property rights. We have filed two patents based on the Wocket™ and Dynamic Pairing Codes (DPC) a proprietary method used by the Company to secure users, devices, accounts, locations and servers over any communication media by sharing key identifiers, including biometric-enabled identifiers, between end-points by passing dynamic pairing codes (random numbers) between end-points to establish sessions and/or transactions without exposing identifiers or keys. We are currently in the process of applying for our third patent on multi-factor voice authentication.

 

Subsequent to the acquisition of 3D-ID, we licensed sixteen (16) U.S. patents. We enter into confidentiality agreements with our consultants and key employees, and maintain control over access to and distribution of our technology, software and other proprietary information. The steps we have taken to protect our technology may be inadequate to prevent others from using what we regard as our technology to compete with us.

 

 

We do not generally conduct exhaustive patent searches to determine whether the technology used in our products infringes patents held by third parties. In addition, product development is inherently uncertain in a rapidly evolving technological environment in which there may be numerous patent applications pending, many of which are confidential when filed, with regard to similar technologies.

 

We may face claims by third parties that our products or technology infringe their patents or other intellectual property rights in the future. Any claim of infringement could cause us to incur substantial costs defending against the claim, even if the claim is invalid, and could distract the attention of our management. If any of our products are found to violate third-party proprietary rights, we may be required to pay substantial damages. In addition, we may be required to re-engineer our products or seek to obtain licenses from third parties to continue to offer our products. Any efforts to re-engineer our products or obtain licenses on commercially reasonable terms may not be successful, which would prevent us from selling our products, and in any case, could substantially increase our costs and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Compensation – David R. Gust*, Daniel Sharkey, Michael J. D’Almada-Remedios, PhD

Nominating and Governance – David R. Gust*, Daniel Sharkey, Michael J. D’Almada-Remedios, PhD

 

* --Indicates Committee Chair

 

Daniel Sharkey is an audit committee financial expert serving on our Board of Directors. We are not currently required to have an audit committee since our common stock is not currently listed on a national securities exchange. In conjunction with this offering, we have applied to list the common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market, which will require the successful satisfaction of the NASDAQ listing rules, including having audit, compensation and governance committees comprise solely of independent directors including having a member of the audit committee be audit committee financial expert.

 

 

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

 

To the best of our knowledge, none of our directors or executive officers has, during the past ten years:

 

●

been convicted in a criminal proceeding or been subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses);

●

had any bankruptcy petition filed by or against the business or property of the person, or of any partnership, corporation or business association of which he was a general partner or executive officer, either at the time of the bankruptcy filing or within two years prior to that time;

●

been subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction or federal or state authority, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting, his involvement in any type of business, securities, futures, commodities, investment, banking, savings and loan, or insurance activities, or to be associated with persons engaged in any such activity;

●

been found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil action or by the Securities and Exchange Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated;

●

been the subject of, or a party to, any federal or state judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree, or finding, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated (not including any settlement of a civil proceeding among private litigants), relating to an alleged violation of any federal or state securities or commodities law or regulation, any law or regulation respecting financial institutions or insurance companies including, but not limited to, a temporary or permanent injunction, order of disgorgement or restitution, civil money penalty or temporary or permanent cease-and-desist order, or removal or prohibition order, or any law or regulation prohibiting mail or wire fraud or fraud in connection with any business entity; or

●

been the subject of, or a party to, any sanction or order, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any self-regulatory organization (as defined in Section 3(a)(26) of the Exchange Act), any registered entity (as defined in Section 1(a)(29) of the Commodity Exchange Act), or any equivalent exchange, association, entity or organization that has disciplinary authority over its members or persons associated with a member.

 

Except as set forth in our discussion below in “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions,” none of our directors or executive officers has been involved in any transactions with us or any of our directors, executive officers, affiliates or associates which are required to be disclosed pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Commission.

 

Family Relationships

 

There are no relationships between any of the officers or directors of the Company.

 

Director Independence

 

Because we are applying to list our common stock on NASDAQ, we have used the definition of “independence” of The NASDAQ Stock Market to make this determination. NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) provides that an “independent director” is a person other than an officer or employee of the Company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the Company’s board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. The NASDAQ listing rules provide that a director cannot be considered independent if:

 

●

the director is, or at any time during the past three years was, an employee of the company;

●

the director or a family member of the director accepted any compensation from the company in excess of $120,000 during any period of 12 consecutive months within the three years preceding the independence determination (subject to certain exclusions, including, among other things, compensation for board or board committee service);

●

a family member of the director is, or at any time during the past three years was, an executive officer of the company;

●

the director or a family member of the director is a partner in, controlling stockholder of, or an executive officer of an entity to which the company made, or from which the company received, payments in the current or any of the past three fiscal years that exceed 5% of the recipient’s consolidated gross revenue for that year or $200,000, whichever is greater (subject to certain exclusions);

●

the director or a family member of the director is employed as an executive officer of an entity where, at any time during the past three years, any of the executive officers of the company served on the compensation committee of such other entity; or the director or a family member of the director is a current partner of the company’s outside auditor, or at any time during the past three years was a partner or employee of the company’s outside auditor, and who worked on the company’s audit.

 

Based on the above qualifications, we have determined that Major General David R. Gust, USA, Ret., Michael J. D’Almada-Remedios, PhD, and Daniel Sharkey are independent directors. We have an audit committee, compensation committee, and a nominating/governance committee.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

 

Except as described below, during the past three years, there have been no transactions, whether directly or indirectly, between our company and any of our officers, directors, beneficial owners of more than 5% of our outstanding common stock or their family members, that exceeded $120,000.

 

Effective June 25, 2012, the Company acquired certain 100% of the membership interests in 3D-ID, LLC (“3D-ID”), a limited liability company formed in Florida in February 2011 and owned by the Company’s founders. Since this was a transaction between entities under common control, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, “Business Combinations”, Nxt-ID recognized the net assets of 3D-ID at their carrying amounts in the accounts of Nxt-ID on the date that 3D-ID was organized, February 14, 2011. Our corporate headquarters are in Shelton, CT.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company received an aggregate of $64,000 of cash advances from an officer of the Company and made aggregate repayments of $64,000. The advances were non-interest bearing and short-term in nature. No such advances were made during the six months ended June 30, 2014. 

 

The founders of Nxt-ID were an integral part of the senior management teams at Technest Holdings, an OTC Bulletin Board public company, and its subsidiary Genex Technologies. Genex Technologies was founded in 1995 to develop and commercialize the unique Rainbow® method of capturing 3D data. Since its founding Genex has developed into one of the market leaders in advanced imaging, including 3D and 360-degree technologies.

 

Genex has developed innovative technologies and products for all aspects of imaging, including capture, processing, display, and enhancement. Genex’s products range from 3D cameras to surveillance algorithms to integrated facial recognition systems.

 

Genex and Technest have won awards from the Department of Defense, NIH, NIST and NSF amounting to over $30 million in support of this technology.

 

On August 19, 2011, the Company signed a licensing agreement with Technest Holdings, Inc. and Genex Technologies, Inc., which granted 3D-ID a perpetual sub-licensable, exclusive, worldwide license to use their intellectual property in U.S. Federal and State markets, and a non-exclusive license in all other markets. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) is a stockholder of and was the former CEO of Technest Holdings, Inc. In consideration of the license of rights affected by this Agreement, 3D-ID is obligated to pay Technest a royalty equal to 5% of net sales. To date, no royalties have been paid. Since the Technest patents do not constitute part of the Company’s core intellectual property in its present or anticipated future product offerings it has decided to forgo the exclusive rights to the Technest patents. As a result the Company reversed an accrual of $35,000 which represented a minimum royalty to maintain certain exclusive rights. The Company retains a perpetual non-exclusive worldwide license to these patents.

 

 

 

DESCRIPTION OF THE WARRANTS

 

We are offering shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, together with warrants to purchase shares of common stock in this offering. Each share of common stock sold in this offering will be sold with a warrant to purchase a share of common stock at an exercise price of $3.288 per share (120% of the public offering price of the common stock). The warrants are exercisable for a period of five years beginning on the closing date of this offering.

 

Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws, any portion of a warrant may be transferred by the warrant holder upon surrender of the warrant. We intend to list the warrants on the Nasdaq Capital Market, but there is currently no established trading market for the warrants. We do not intend to make a market in the warrants and do not expect that one will develop. Therefore, the warrant holders may have to hold the warrants they purchase in this offering, until such time, if any, as they wish to exercise them. The warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of common stock and any voting rights until they exercise their warrants and receive shares of common stock. After the issuance of shares of common stock upon exercise of the warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share held on record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the warrants, warrant holders are not permitted to exercise the warrants for an amount of common stock that would result in a holder owning more than 9.99% of our common stock outstanding after the exercise.

 

We will not be required to issue any fractional shares of our common stock upon the exercise of a warrant. Instead, the Company may elect to either pay cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the closing price of one warrant share on the date of exercise or have the number of shares of common stock exercised will be rounded up to the nearest whole number.

 

The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable on exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of our recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation.

 

We will attempt to maintain the effectiveness of a current prospectus covering the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants until the expiration of the warrants. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to do so and we may not be able to maintain our eligibility to use such current prospectus. If the prospectus relating to the common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants is not current or if we are not eligible to use such current prospectus or if the common stock is not qualified or exempt from qualification in the jurisdictions in which the holders of the warrants reside, the warrants may have no value.

 

The warrants may initially be represented in one or more permanent global certificates in fully registered form and will be deposited with a custodian for, and registered in the name of a nominee of the Depository Trust Company, New York, New York, as depositary.

 

 

 

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

 

Introduction

 

In the discussion that follows, we have summarized selected provisions of our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) relating to our capital stock. This summary is not complete. This discussion is subject to the relevant provisions of Delaware law and is qualified in its entirety by reference to our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws. You should read the provisions of our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws as currently in effect for provisions that may be important to you.

 

Authorized Capital Stock

 

The Company is authorized to issue 110,000,000 shares of its capital stock consisting of (a) 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share and (b) 10,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock. As of September 8, 2014, 22,030,843 shares of our common stock were issued and outstanding.

 

Common Stock

 

Each share of common stock entitles the holder to one vote, either in person or by proxy, at meetings of stockholders. The holders are not permitted to vote their shares cumulatively. Accordingly, the stockholders of our common stock who hold, in the aggregate, more than fifty percent of the total voting rights can elect all of our directors and, in such event, the holders of the remaining minority shares will not be able to elect any of such directors. The vote of the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote thereon is sufficient to authorize, affirm, ratify or consent to such act or action, except as otherwise provided by law.

 

Holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may be declared by our Board of Directors out of funds legally available. We have not paid any dividends since our inception, and we presently anticipate that all earnings, if any, will be retained for development of our business. Any future disposition of dividends will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon, among other things, our future earnings, operating and financial condition, capital requirements, and other factors.

 

Holders of our common stock have no preemptive rights or other subscription rights, conversion rights, redemption or sinking fund provisions. Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of our common stock will be entitled to share ratably in the net assets legally available for distribution to stockholders after the payment of all of our debts and other liabilities. There are no provisions in our certificate of incorporation or our by-laws that would prevent or delay change in our control.

 

Preferred Stock

 

We are authorized to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock, $0.0001 par value per share, none of which is presently issued or outstanding. Our Board of Directors is authorized to issue such shares of preferred stock with designations, rights and preferences as it may determine from time to time. Accordingly, our Board of Directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue shares of preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, or other rights that could adversely affect the rights of the holders of our common stock.

 

Dividends

 

Since inception we have not paid any dividends on our common stock. We currently do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future on our common stock. Although we intend to retain our earnings, if any, to finance the exploration and growth of our business, our board of directors will have the discretion to declare and pay dividends in the future. Payment of dividends in the future will depend upon our earnings, capital requirements, and other factors, which our board of directors may deem relevant.

 

Warrants

 

As of September 8, 2014, we had 1,391,539 warrants to purchase 1,391,539 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $3.00 outstanding. These warrants will be reset to $2.00 per share at the completion of this offering. These warrants are exercisable through January 13, 2019. The exercise price of the warrants are subject to adjustment upon certain events, such as stock splits, combinations, dividends, distributions, reclassifications, mergers or other corporate change and dilutive issuances.

 

  

As of September 8, 2014, we had 4,600 warrants to purchase 4,600 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 outstanding. These warrants are exercisable through May 10, 2016. The exercise price of the warrants are subject to adjustment upon certain events, such as stock splits, combinations, dividends, distributions, reclassifications, mergers or other corporate changes.

 

Options and Other Stock Awards

 

On January 3, 2013, the Company’s shareholders authorized the Nxt-ID, Inc. 2013 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan. The maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the Plan, including Stock Options, Stock Awards, and Stock Appreciation Rights is limited to 10% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding on the first trading day of any fiscal year, less shares or awards previously issued under the plan, or 2,044,949 for fiscal 2014. Currently, we have not issued any stock options under the plan. We have issued 155,180 shares under the Long Term Incentive Plan.

 

Registration Rights

 

Between June 12, 2014 and June 17, 2014, the Company completed a private offering of warrants to purchase common stock (the “Offering”) with a group of accredited investors, who had previously participated in the Company’s private offering of warrants to purchase common stock (the “December Warrants”) that had occurred between December 30, 2013 and January 13, 2014 (the “Purchasers”) for total net proceeds to the Company of $4,000. Pursuant to a securities purchase agreement with the Purchasers (the “June Purchase Agreement”), the Company issued to the Purchasers warrants (the “June Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 400,000 shares (the “June Warrant Shares”) of our Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share (which has since been adjusted to $2.00 per share, as described below).  Pursuant to a securities purchase agreement, dated August 21, 2014 with the Purchasers (the “August Purchase Agreement”), the Company issued to the Purchasers warrants (the “August Warrants”; the December Warrants, the August Warrants and the June Warrants collectively referred to herein as the “Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 100,000 shares (the “August Warrant Shares”; the August Warrant Shares and the June Warrant Shares collectively referred to herein as the “Warrant Shares”) of our Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share (which has since been adjusted to $2.00 per share, as described below). The Warrants are exercisable for a period of five years from the original issue date. The exercise price for the Warrants is subject to adjustment upon certain events, such as stock splits, combinations, dividends, distributions, reclassifications, mergers or other corporate changes.  If exercised, the Warrants will provide the Company with gross proceeds of approximately $1.0 million (as a result of the adjustment in the exercise price described below). The Company determined that the effect of the issuance of the warrants was to induce the Purchasers to exercise warrants previously issued to them in the Offering and thus accounted for the issuance as an inducement.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Warrants, the consent of two of the Purchasers is required to complete this offering. In order to obtain the consent of these Purchasers, we have agreed to reduce the exercise price of all of the Warrants to $2.00 per share and issue the Purchasers an aggregate of 261,131 shares of our common stock without registration rights. In addition, the Purchasers have agreed to execute lock-up agreements and not exercise the Warrants or sell the Warrant Shares for 90 days following completion of this offering.

 

In connection with the sale of the June Warrants, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement (the “June Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Purchasers, pursuant to which the Company agreed to register the Shares and the shares of our Common Stock underlying the June Warrants (the “June Registrable Securities”) on a Form S-1 registration statement (the “June Registration Statement”) to be filed with the SEC 90 days following the completion of an underwritten public offering (the “June Filing Date”) and to cause the June Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act within 90 days following the Filing Date (the “June Required Filing Date”).

 

If the June Registration Statement is not filed by the June Filing Date or declared effective by the June Required Effective Date, the Company is required to pay partial liquidated damages to each Purchaser in the amount equal to 2% for the purchase price paid for the June Warrants then owned by such Purchaser for each 30-day period for which the Company is non-compliant.

 

In connection with the sale of the August Warrants, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement (the “August Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Purchasers, pursuant to which the Company agreed to register the Shares and the shares of our Common Stock underlying the August Warrants (the “August Registrable Securities”) on a Form S-1 registration statement (the “August Registration Statement”) to be filed with the SEC 90 days following the completion of an underwritten public offering (the “August Filing Date”) and to cause the August Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act within 90 days following the Filing Date (the “August Required Filing Date”).

 

If the August Registration Statement is not filed by the August Required Filing Date or declared effective by the August Required Effective Date, the Company is required to pay partial liquidated damages to each Purchaser in the amount equal to 2% for the purchase price paid for the August Warrants then owned by such Purchaser for each 30-day period for which the Company is non-compliant.

 

Limitation on Directors’ Liability

 

Delaware law authorizes Delaware corporations to limit or eliminate the personal liability of their directors to them and their stockholders for monetary damages for breach of a director’s fiduciary duty of care. The duty of care requires that, when acting on behalf of the corporation, directors must exercise an informed business judgment based on all material information reasonably available to them. Absent the limitations Delaware law authorizes, directors of Delaware corporations are accountable to those corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for conduct constituting gross negligence in the exercise of their duty of care. Delaware law enables Delaware corporations to limit available relief to equitable remedies such as injunction or rescission. Our certificate of incorporation limits the liability of our directors to us and our stockholders to the fullest extent Delaware law permits. Specifically, no director will be personally liable for monetary damages for any breach of the director’s fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability:

 

●

for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders;

●

for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

●

for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the DGCL; and

●

for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

 

This provision could have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against our directors and may discourage or deter our stockholders or management from bringing a lawsuit against our directors for breach of their duty of care, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise have benefited us and our stockholders. Our bylaws provide indemnification to our officers and directors and other specified persons with respect to their conduct in various capacities. See “Indemnification of Directors and Officers.”

 

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or person controlling the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Company has been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is therefore unenforceable.

 

Anti-Takeover Effects of Provisions of the DGCL and our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

 

Provisions of the DGCL and our certificate of incorporation and bylaws could make it more difficult to acquire us by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or otherwise, or to remove incumbent officers and directors. These provisions, summarized below, are expected to discourage certain types of coercive takeover practices and takeover bids that our board of directors may consider inadequate and to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with our board of directors. We believe that the benefits of increased protection of our ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure us outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging takeover or acquisition proposals because, among other things, negotiation of these proposals could result in improved terms for our stockholders.

 

Delaware Anti-Takeover Statute. We were subject to Section 203 of the DGCL, an anti-takeover statute. In general, Section 203 of the DGCL prohibits a publicly-held Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years following the time the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination or the acquisition of shares that resulted in a stockholder becoming an interested stockholder is approved in a prescribed manner. Generally, a “business combination” includes a merger, asset or stock sale, or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. Generally, an “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns (or within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status did own) 15% or more of a corporation’s voting stock. The existence of this provision would be expected to have an anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions not approved in advance by the board of directors, including discouraging attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares of common stock held by stockholders.

 

As of September 8, 2014, we are not subject to Section 203 of the DGCL because we do not have a class of voting stock that is listed on a national securities exchange or held of record by more than 2,000 stockholders and we have not elected by a provision in our original certificate of incorporation to be governed by Section 203. Unless we adopt an amendment of our certificate of incorporation by action of our stockholders expressly electing not to be governed by Section 203, we would generally become subject to Section 203 of the DGCL at such time that we have a class of voting stock that is either listed on a national securities exchange or held of record by more than 2,000 stockholders, except that the restrictions contained in Section 203 would not apply if the business combination is with an interested stockholder who became an interested stockholder before the time that we have a class of voting stock that is either listed on a national securities exchange or held of record by more than 2,000 stockholders.

 

Amendments to Our Certificate of Incorporation. Under the DGCL, the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon and a majority of the outstanding stock of each class entitled to vote thereon is required to amend a corporation’s certificate of incorporation. Under the DGCL, the holders of the outstanding shares of a class of our capital stock shall be entitled to vote as a class upon a proposed amendment, whether or not entitled to vote thereon by the certificate of incorporation, if the amendment would:

 

●

increase or decrease the aggregate number of authorized shares of such class;

●

increase or decrease the par value of the shares of such class; or

●

alter or change the powers, preferences or special rights of the shares of such class so as to affect them adversely.

 

If any proposed amendment would alter or change the powers, preferences or special rights of one or more series of any class of our capital stock so as to affect them adversely, but shall not so affect the entire class, then only the shares of the series so affected by the amendment shall be considered a separate class for the purposes of this provision.

 

Vacancies in the Board of Directors. Our bylaws provide that, subject to limitations, any vacancy occurring in our board of directors for any reason may be filled by a majority of the remaining members of our board of directors then in office, even if such majority is less than a quorum. Each director so elected shall hold office until the expiration of the term of the other directors. Each such directors shall hold office until his or her successor is elected and qualified, or until the earlier of his or her death, resignation or removal.

 

Special Meetings of Stockholders. Under our bylaws, special meetings of stockholders may be called at any time by our President whenever so directed in writing by a majority of the entire board of directors. Special meetings can also be called whenever one-third of the number of shares of our capital stock entitled to vote at such meeting shall, in writing, request one. Under the DGCL, written notice of any special meeting must be given not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of the special meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting.

 

 

No Cumulative Voting. The DGCL provides that stockholders are denied the right to cumulate votes in the election of directors unless our certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation does not provide for cumulative voting.

  

Listing

 

Our common stock is listed on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “NXTD.” In conjunction with this offering, we applied to list our common stock and warrants on the Nasdaq Capital Market and our common stock and warrants are expected to begin trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker symbols "NXTD" and “NXTDW,” respectively, on Thursday, September 11, 2014.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

 

As of September 8, 2014, we had 22,030,843 shares of common stock outstanding, not including shares issuable upon exercise of our warrants. All shares sold in this offering will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, unless they are purchased by our “affiliates,” as that term is defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act.

 

The outstanding shares of our common stock not included in this prospectus will be available for sale in the public market as follows:

 

Public Float

 

Of our outstanding shares, as of September 8, 2014 approximately 17,648,530 shares are beneficially owned by executive officers, directors and affiliates (excluding shares of our common stock which may be acquired upon exercise of stock options and warrants which are currently exercisable or which become exercisable within 60 days of September 8, 2014). The approximately 4,382,313 remaining shares constitute our public float.

 

Rule 144

 

In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, once we have been subject to public company reporting requirements for 90 days, a person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) who is not deemed to have been an affiliate of ours at any time during the three months preceding a sale, and who has beneficially owned restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144 for a least six months (including any period of consecutive ownership of preceding non-affiliated holders) would be entitled to sell those shares, subject only to the availability of current public information about us. A non-affiliated person who has beneficially owned restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144 for at least six (6) months would be entitled to sell those shares without regard to the provisions of Rule 144.

 

In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, once we have been subject to public company reporting requirements for 90 days, our affiliates or persons selling shares on behalf of our affiliates who own shares that were acquired from us or an affiliate of ours at least six months prior to the proposed sale are entitled to sell upon expiration of the lock-up agreements described above, within any three-month period beginning 90 days after the date of this prospectus, a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of:

 

●

1% of the number of shares of common stock then outstanding, which will equal approximately shares immediately after this offering; or

UNDERWRITING

 

The underwriters named below have agreed to buy, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement, the number of shares of common stock and warrants listed opposite their names below. The underwriters are committed to purchase and pay for all of the securities if any are purchased.

 

Underwriters		Number of Shares				Number of Warrants
Northland Securities, Inc.			1,063,637				1,063,637
The Benchmark Company, LLC			850,909				850,909
Newport Coast Securities Inc.			212,727				212,727
Total			2,127,273				2,127,273

 

The underwriters have advised us that they propose to offer the shares of common stock and warrants to the public at the price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus supplement. The underwriters propose to offer the shares of common stock and warrants to certain dealers at the same price less a concession not in excess of a combined $0.1320 per share of common stock and related warrants. The underwriters may allow, and the dealers may reallow, a concession of not more than a combined $0.00 per share on sales to certain other brokers and dealers. After this offering, these amounts may be changed by the underwriters.

 

We have granted to the underwriters an option to purchase up to an additional 319,090 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase up to 319,090 shares of our common stock from us at the same price to the public, and with the same underwriting discount, as set forth in the table below. The underwriters may exercise this option any time during the 45-day period after the date of this prospectus, but only to cover over-allotments, if any. To the extent the underwriters exercise the option, the underwriters will become obligated, subject to certain conditions, to purchase the securities for which they exercise the option. The underwriters expect to deliver the securities to purchasers on or about September 15, 2014.

 

The underwriting discount is equal to the public offering price per share of common stock and related warrant, less the amount paid by the underwriters to us per share of common stock and related warrant. The following table shows the per combined share and related warrant and total underwriting discount to be paid to the underwriters in this offering, assuming both no exercise and full exercise of the over-allotment option.

 

		Per Combined Share and Related  Warrant				Total with No Exercise				Total With Exercise
Paid by us		$	0.22			$	468,000			$	538,200

  

We estimate expenses payable by us in connection with this offering, other than the underwriting discounts referred to above, will be approximately $310,000. This estimate includes $165,000 of fees and expenses of the underwriters and excludes a corporate finance fee payable by the Company to Northland Securities, Inc., or Northland, and The Benchmark Company, LLC, or Benchmark, equal to one percent of the gross proceeds of this offering (provided further, that there shall be no corporate finance fee on the over-allotment option unless and until the offering of such over-allotment option closes) in return for the additional services provided by these underwriters in advising the Company on offering structure and alternatives, preparing the Company for a road show, and otherwise advising the Company on the offering to a larger extent than the other underwriter. The Company has already paid the underwriters a $50,000 refundable retainer. The refundable retainer will be applied against reasonable, accountable out-of-pocket expenses actually anticipated to be incurred by the underwriters and related persons and such expenses will be reimbursed to the Company to the extent not actually incurred pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(f)(2)(C). We entered into an engagement letter with Northland and Benchmark which may be terminated by any party subject to certain restrictions, pursuant to which Northland and Benchmark provide us with certain financial advisory services. In connection with the successful completion of this offering, for the price of $50, the underwriters may purchase a warrant to purchase shares of our common stock equal to 5.0% of the shares sold in this offering at an exercise price that is the same as that for investors in this offering; provided further, that the underwriters will only receive such warrants relating to the over-allotment option upon the closing (if any) of the over-allotment option. The underwriters’ warrants may not be sold during this offering, or sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated, or be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put, or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of the underwriters’ warrants, or the shares acquirable upon exercise thereof, by any person for a period of 180 days immediately following the effective date of this registration statement, except as provided in paragraph (g)(2) of Rule 5110 of FINRA. We also granted Northland and Benchmark a right of first refusal to participate as a manager or co-manager in any subsequent offering or placement of our securities that takes place during the term of our engagement with Northland and Benchmark or within eighteen months following the effective date of this registration statement. In accordance with applicable rules of FINRA, Northland and Benchmark do not have more than one opportunity to waive or terminate the right of first refusal in consideration of any payment or fee, and any payment or fee to waive or terminate the right of first refusal must be paid in cash and have a value not in excess of the greater of 1% of the proceeds in this offering (or, if greater, the maximum amount permitted by FINRA rules for compensation in connection with this offering) or 5% of the underwriting discount or commission paid in connection with any future financing subject to right of first refusal (including any overallotment option that may be exercised). This right of first refusal is not reflected in the table below.

 

Except as disclosed in this prospectus supplement, the underwriters have not received and will not receive from us any other item of compensation or expense in connection with this offering considered by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority to be underwriting compensation under FINRA Rule 5110. The underwriting discount was determined through an arms’ length negotiation between us and the underwriters.

 

 

We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities, including civil liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, or Securities Act, or to contribute to payments that the underwriters may be required to make in respect of those liabilities.

 

We and each of our directors and executive officers have agreed to certain restrictions on the ability to sell shares of our common stock for a period of 90 days after the date of this prospectus. The agreements provide exceptions for sales to the underwriters pursuant to the underwriting agreement and certain other situations. The restrictions in these agreements may be waived by the underwriters in its sole discretion. The lock-up periods discussed above are subject to extension such that, in the event that either (i) during the last 17 days of the “lock-up” period, we issue an earnings or financial results release or material news or a material event relating to us occurs, or (ii) prior to the expiration of the “lock-up” period, we announce that we will release earnings or financial results during the 16-day period beginning on the last day of the “lock-up” period, then in either case the expiration of the “lock-up” period will be extended until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the issuance of the earnings or financial results release or the occurrence of the material news or material event, as applicable, unless the underwriters waive, in writing, such an extension. The restrictions described above do not apply to certain transactions by our officers and directors pursuant to any trading plan established pursuant to Rule 10b-5 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act.

 

From time to time in the ordinary course of business, the underwriters and certain of the underwriters’ affiliates have engaged, and may in the future engage, in investment banking transactions with us or our affiliates.

 

To facilitate this offering, the underwriters may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of shares of our common stock during and after this offering. Specifically, the underwriters may over-allot or otherwise create a short position in our common stock for its own accounts by selling more shares of common stock than we have sold to them. The underwriters may close out any short position by either exercising its option to purchase additional shares or purchasing shares in the open market. In addition, the underwriters may stabilize or maintain the price of our common stock by bidding for or purchasing shares in the open market and may impose penalty bids. If penalty bids are imposed, selling concessions allowed to syndicate members or other broker-dealers participating in the offering are reclaimed if shares previously distributed in the offering are repurchased, whether in connection with stabilization transactions or otherwise. The effect of these transactions may be to stabilize or maintain the market price of our common stock at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. The imposition of a penalty bid may also affect the price of our common stock to the extent that it discourages resales of shares of our common stock. The magnitude or effect of any stabilization or other transactions is uncertain. These transactions may be effected on the Nasdaq Capital Market, if we list on this exchange in connection with this offering, or otherwise and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

 

In connection with this offering, the underwriters and selling group members may also engage in passive market making transactions in our common stock. Passive market making consists of displaying bids on the Nasdaq Capital Market limited by the prices of independent market makers and effecting purchases limited by those prices in response to order flow. Rule 103 of Regulation M promulgated by the SEC limits the amount of net purchases that each passive market maker may make and the displayed size of each bid. Passive market making may stabilize the market price of our common stock at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

 

The underwriters may facilitate the marketing of this offering online directly or through one of the underwriters’ affiliates. In those cases, prospective investors may view offering terms and a prospectus online and place orders online or through their financial advisors. Such websites and the information contained on such websites, or connected to such sites, are not incorporated into and are not a part of this prospectus supplement.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 – Organization and Basis of Presentation

 

Organization and Principal Business Activity

 

Nxt-ID, Inc. (“Nxt-ID” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Delaware on February 8, 2012. Nxt-ID is a biometrics and authentication company focused on the growing m-commerce market with an innovative MobileBio™ suite of biometric solutions that secure mobile platforms. The Company also serves the access control and law enforcement facial recognition markets.

 

3D-ID, LLC (“3D-ID”) was organized and registered in the state of Florida on February 14, 2011. The Company is an early stage company engaged in the design, research and development, integration, analysis, modeling, system networking, sales and support of intelligent surveillance, three dimensional facial recognition and three dimensional imaging devices and systems primarily for identification and access control in the security industries.

 

On June 25, 2012, Nxt-ID, a company having similar ownership as 3D-ID, acquired 100% of the membership interests in 3D-ID (the “Acquisition”) in exchange for 20,000,000 shares of Nxt-ID common stock. Since this was a transaction between entities under common control, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, “Business Combinations”, Nxt-ID recognized the net assets of 3D-ID at their carrying amounts in the accounts of Nxt-ID on the date that 3D-ID was organized. 

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2014 and for the three and six months then ended have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and on the same basis as the Company prepares its annual audited consolidated financial statements. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2014, the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 are unaudited, but include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014 or for any future interim period. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2013 has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements. However, it does not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on February 25, 2014.

Note 2 - Going Concern and Management Plans

 

The Company is an early stage company and incurred net losses of $3,822,887 during the six months ended June 30, 2014, which included an aggregate $2,404,352 of non-cash charges. As of June 30, 2014, the Company had working capital and stockholders’ equity of $490,570 and $513,779, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company raised net proceeds of approximately $1,970,000 through the issuance of common stock and warrants and the exercise of warrants.

 

In order to execute the Company's long-term strategic plan to develop and commercialize its core products, the Company will need to raise additional funds through public or private equity offerings, debt financings, or other means. The Company can give no assurance that additional funds will be available on reasonable terms, or available at all, or that it will generate sufficient revenue to alleviate the going concern. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company’s ability to execute its business plan is dependent upon its ability to raise additional equity, secure debt financing, and/or generate revenue. Should the Company not be successful in obtaining the necessary financing, or generate sufficient revenue to fund its operations, the Company would need to curtail certain of its operational activities. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. 

 

Note 3 - Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Use of Estimates in the Financial Statements

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 those estimates. The Company’s significant estimates and assumptions include the valuation allowance relating to the Company’s deferred tax assets, the fair value of the Company’s equity and derivative financial instruments and stock-based compensation.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Nxt-ID and its wholly-owned subsidiary, 3D-ID. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

Restricted Cash

 

Restricted cash is comprised of amounts held by credit card processors until the Company establishes a history of activity and the processor is able to estimate potential charge back risk. The balances are rolling and held by the processor for a period of less than a year and therefore reported as a current asset on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory consists principally of raw materials and is valued at the lower of cost or market with cost determined using the first-in, first-out method and with market defined as the lower of replacement cost or realizable value. As of June 30, 2014 inventory is comprised of $30,167 in raw materials on hand. In addition, as an early stage entity, the Company is required to prepay for raw materials with certain vendors until credit terms can be established. As of June 30, 2014, approximately $86,000 of prepaid inventory is included in prepaid expenses on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Note 3 - Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company’s 3D facial recognition and identification products are currently available for sale and the Company has begun accepting pre-orders on its Mobile Bio Wocket. The Company recognizes revenue in connection with the sale of these products when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service has been rendered or product delivery has occurred, the price is fixed or readily determinable and collectability of the sale is reasonably assured. As of June 30, 2014, the Company has received $80,018 in customer deposits in connection with pre-orders of its MobileBio Wocket.

 

The Company requires all of its product sales to be supported by evidence of a sale transaction that clearly indicates the selling price to the customer, shipping terms and payment terms. Evidence of an arrangement generally consists of a contract or purchase order approved by the customer. The Company recognizes revenue at the time in which it receives a confirmation that the goods were either tendered at their destination, when shipped “FOB destination,” or transferred to a shipping agent, when shipped “FOB shipping point.” Delivery to the customer is deemed to have occurred when the customer takes title to the product. Generally, title passes to the customer upon shipment, but could occur when the customer receives the product based on the terms of the agreement with the customer. The prices of all goods that the Company sells are fixed and agreed to with the customer prior to shipment.

 

In the event a sale is made to a customer under circumstances in which collectability is not reasonably assured, the Company either requires the customer to remit payment prior to shipment or defers recognition of the revenue until payment is received. The Company maintains a reserve for amounts that may not be collectible due to risk of credit losses.

 

The Company’s sales typically do not include multiple deliverable arrangements.

 

Convertible Instruments

 

The Company applies the accounting standards for derivatives and hedging and for distinguishing liabilities from equity when accounting for hybrid contracts that feature conversion options. The accounting standards require companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments according to certain criteria. The criteria include circumstances in which (i) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (ii) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (iii) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument.

 

The derivative is subsequently marked to market at each reporting date based on current fair value, with the changes in fair value reported in the results of operations.

 

Conversion options that contain variable settlement features, such as provisions to adjust the conversion price upon subsequent issuances of equity or equity linked securities at exercise prices more favorable than that featured in the hybrid contract, generally result in their bifurcation from the host instrument.

 

The Company accounts for convertible debt instruments when the Company has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments in accordance with ASC 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options.” The Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt. See Note 5 below.

Debt discount and amortization of debt discount

 

Debt discount represents the fair value of embedded conversion options of various convertible debt instruments and attached convertible equity instruments issued in connection with debt instruments. The debt discount is amortized over the earlier of (i) the term of the debt or (ii) conversion of the debt, using the straight-line method which approximates the interest method. The amortization of debt discount is included as a component of other expenses in the accompanying statements of operations.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, "Income Taxes." Under this method, income tax expense is recognized for the amount of: (i) taxes payable or refundable for the current year and (ii) deferred tax consequences of temporary differences resulting from matters that have been recognized in an entity's financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if, based on the weight of the available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

ASC Topic 740-10-30 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC Topic 740-10-40 provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The Company will classify as income tax expense any interest and penalties. The Company has no material uncertain tax positions for any of the reporting periods presented. Generally, the tax authorities may examine the partnership/corporate tax returns for three years from the date of filing. The Company is in the process of filing its tax returns for the year ended December 31, 2013. Therefore, the Company’s net operating loss carryovers will not be available to offset future taxable income, if any, until the returns are filed.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for share-based awards exchanged for employee services at the estimated grant date fair value of the award. The Company estimates the fair value of employee stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company amortizes the fair value of employee stock options on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards. Compensation expense includes the impact of an estimate for forfeitures for all stock options.

 

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to non-employees at their fair value on the measurement date. The measurement of stock-based compensation is subject to periodic adjustment as the underlying equity instrument vests or becomes non-forfeitable. Non-employee stock-based compensation charges are amortized over the vesting period or as earned.

Net Loss per Share

 

Basic loss per share was computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per share includes the effect of diluted common stock equivalents. Potentially dilutive securities realizable from the exercise of 1,396,139 warrants as of June 30, 2014 were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. As of June 30, 2013, potentially dilutive securities realizable from the conversion of the Company’s then outstanding note payable into 120,000 shares of common stock and the exercise of warrants for the purchase of 304,600 common shares were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development costs consist of expenditures incurred during the course of planned research and investigation aimed at the discovery of new knowledge that would be useful in developing new products or processes. The Company expenses all research and development costs as incurred.

Note 5 - Convertible Notes Payable

 

On December 13, 2012, the Company received approval from Connecticut Innovations, Inc. (“CII”) for a Convertible Note (the “Note”) in the amount of $150,000. The Company received the first tranche of $75,000 on December 21, 2012 and the second tranche of $75,000 on January 31, 2013. The Note’s maturity date was December 21, 2014.

 

The Company received notice on February 11, 2014 from CII regarding converting its outstanding convertible note of $150,000, along with accrued interest of $21,485, into common stock at a 25% discount to the Company’s closing stock price on February 17, 2014. Since February 17, 2014 was a holiday, the Company used its closing stock price on February 18, 2014. The Company issued 55,497 shares in full relief of its outstanding debt and accrued interest of $171,485.

Note 5 - Convertible Notes Payable (continued)

 

Since the Note was converted on February 18, 2014, the Company re-measured the conversion feature liability associated with the convertible note payable on that date. The Company recorded an unrealized gain on the change in the fair value of the conversion feature liability of $20,218 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 (see Note 7 below) and reclassified the re-measured conversion feature of $98,722 to additional paid in capital. Since the Note was converted, the remaining unamortized portion of the debt discount of $26,755 was expensed during the six months ended June 30, 2014.

 

Note 6 - Stockholders' Equity

 

On January 13, 2014, the Company closed a “best efforts” private offering of $1,000,000 (the “Offering”) with a group of accredited investors (the “Purchasers”) and the Company exercised the oversubscription amount allowed in the Offering of $350,000, for total gross proceeds to the Company of $1,350,000 before deducting placement agent fees and other expenses. Pursuant to a securities purchase agreement with the Purchasers (the “Purchase Agreement”), the Company issued to the Purchasers (i) 415,387 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 and (ii) 1,350,000 warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase shares (the “Warrant Shares”) of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $3.25 per share. In connection with the Offering, 138,463 units were sold at the end of December 2013 and 276,924 units were sold in January 2014, all at $3.25 per unit. As a result, the Company received aggregate gross proceeds of $450,000 in December 2013 from the issuance of 138,463 shares of common stock and 450,000 Warrants, and the Company received $900,000 in January 2014 from the issuance of 276,924 shares of common stock and 900,000 Warrants. Costs incurred associated with the Offering in December 2013 and January 2014 were $56,820 and $100,006, respectively. In January 2014, the placement agent received 41,539 Warrants from the Offering.

 

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company’s founders who are members of management (the “Founders”) agreed to cancel a corresponding number of shares to those shares issued in the Offering and place in escrow a corresponding number of shares to be cancelled for each Warrant Share issued. As a result, the Founders retired 138,463 and 276,924 shares of common stock in December 2013 and January 2014, respectively.

 

The Warrants are exercisable for a period of five years from the original issue date. The initial exercise price with respect to the Warrants was $3.25 per share. On the date of issuance, the Warrants were recognized as derivative liabilities as they did not have fixed settlement provisions because their exercise prices could be lowered if the Company was to issue securities at a lower price in the future. As a result, the Company recorded $3,431,541 as derivative liability warrants on the condensed consolidated balance sheet on January 13, 2014.

 

On February 21, 2014, the Company amended the terms of the 1,359,539 Warrants issued in the Offering to eliminate the anti-dilution provision and to lower the exercise price of the Warrants from $3.25 to $3.00. As a result of the Warrant modifications, the Company re-measured the Warrant liability on the modification date and recorded an unrealized loss on derivative liabilities of $1,074,795 and reclassified the aggregate re-measured value of the Warrants of $6,037,639 to additional paid in capital. See Note 7 below.

 

On various dates, during the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company received gross proceeds of $1,200,000 in connection with the exercise of 400,000 warrants into 400,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share, net of fees to be paid upon the exercise of the warrants issued in the Offering per the term of the underwriter agreement of $30,000. Upon exercise, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company’s Founders agreed to cancel a corresponding number of shares to be cancelled for each Warrant Share issued. As a result, the Founders retired 400,000 shares of common stock.

Note 6 - Stockholders' Equity (continued)

 

Between June 12, 2014 and June 17, 2014, the Company completed a private offering with a group of accredited investors (the “Purchasers”) who had previously participated in the Offering that occurred between December 30, 2013 and January 13, 2014 (as discussed in this Note 6) for total net proceeds to the Company of $4,000. Pursuant to a securities purchase agreement with the Purchasers, the Company issued to the Purchasers warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 400,000 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share. The Warrants are exercisable for a period of five years from the original issue date. The exercise price for the Warrants is subject to adjustment upon certain events, such as stock splits, combinations, dividends, distributions, reclassifications, mergers or other corporate change and dilutive issuances. The Company determined that the effect of the issuance of the warrants was to induce the Purchasers to exercise warrants previously issued to them in the Offering. As a result, the Company recorded an inducement expense of $1,177,760 for the six and three months ended June 30, 2014.

 

In connection with the sale of the Warrants, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement with the Purchasers pursuant to which the Company agreed to register the Shares and the shares of the common stock underlying the Warrants (the “Registrable Securities”) on a Form S-1 registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) to be filed with the SEC 90 days following the completion of an underwritten public offering (the “Filing Date”) and to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act within 90 days following the Filing Date (the “Required Effective Date”).

 

If the Registration Statement is not filed by the Filing Date or declared effective by the Required Effective Date, the Company is required to pay partial liquidated damages to each Purchaser in the amount equal to 2% for the purchase price paid for the Warrants then owned by such Purchaser for each 30-day period for which the Company is non-compliant.

 

The following table summarizes the Company's warrants outstanding at June 30, 2014:

On January 4, 2013, a majority of the Company’s stockholders approved by written consent the Company’s 2013 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan (“LTIP”). The maximum aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the LTIP, including stock awards and stock appreciation rights, is limited to 10% of the shares of common stock outstanding on the first business or trading day of any fiscal year, which is 2,193,782 at January 1, 2014. During the six and three months ended June 30, 2014, the Company issued 6,347 and 2,558 restricted shares, respectively, under the plan to three non-executive directors with an aggregate fair value of $25,000 and $10,000, respectively.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company issued 18,282 shares of common stock with an aggregate fair value of $75,000 to consultants for services rendered to the Company.

Note 7 – Derivative liabilities

 

Fair value of financial instruments is defined as an exit price, which is the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The degree of judgment utilized in measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities generally correlates to the level of pricing observability. Financial assets and liabilities with readily available, actively quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices in active markets generally have more pricing observability and require less judgment in measuring fair value. Conversely, financial assets and liabilities that are rarely traded or not quoted have less price observability and are generally measured at fair value using valuation models that require more judgment. These valuation techniques involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency of the asset, liability or market and the nature of the asset or liability. The Company has categorized its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value into a three-level hierarchy.

 

The conversion feature embedded within the Company’s convertible notes payable and the warrants issued in connection with the Offering (as defined in Note 6 above) did not have fixed settlement provisions on the dates they were initially issued because the conversion and exercises prices could have been lowered if the Company would have issued securities at lower prices before conversion.

 

The derivative liabilities were valued using the Black-Scholes option valuation model and the following weighted average assumptions on the following dates:

 

		February 21, 2014				February 18, 2014				January 13, 2014				December 31, 2013
Embedded Conversion Feature and Warrant Liability:
Risk-free interest rate			0.30	%			0.30	%			0.30	%			0.30	%
Expected volatility			124	%			123	%			123	%			123.54	%
Expected life (in years)			4.9				0.75				5.00				4.59
Expected dividend yield			-				-				-				-
Number of shares			1,391,539				55,497				941,539				500,000
Fair value		$	6,037,639			$	98,722			$	3,431,541			$	1,650,243

  

The risk-free interest rate was based on rates established by the Federal Reserve. Since the Company’s common stock has not been publicly traded for a sufficiently long period of time, the Company is utilizing an expected volatility figure based on a review of the historical volatilities, over a period of time, equivalent to the expected life of the instrument being valued, of similarly positioned public companies within its industry. The expected life of the conversion feature was determined by the maturity date of the Note (as defined in Note 5) and the expected life of the Warrants was determined by their expiration dates. The expected dividend yield was based upon the fact that the Company has not historically paid dividends on its common stock and does not expect to pay dividends on its common stock in the future.

 

Fair Value Measurement

 

Valuation Hierarchy

ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” establishes a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs to valuation used to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on the Company’s own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The carrying amounts of cash, inventory, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to their short maturities. The Company’s other financial instruments included its convertible notes payable obligations. The carrying value of these instruments approximated fair value, as they bear terms and conditions comparable to market for obligations with similar terms and maturities. The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

 

Level 3 liabilities are valued using unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the derivative liabilities. For fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s accounting department, who reports to the Principal Financial Officer, determines its valuation policies and procedures. The development and determination of the unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements and fair value calculations are the responsibility of the Company’s accounting department and are approved by the Principal Financial Officer.

 

Level 3 Valuation Techniques 

Level 3 financial liabilities consisted of the conversion feature liability and common stock purchase warrants for which there is no current market for these securities such that the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation. Changes in fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are analyzed each period based on changes in estimates or assumptions and recorded as appropriate. A significant decrease in the volatility or a significant decrease in the Company’s stock price, in isolation, would result in a significantly lower fair value measurement.

 

As of June 30, 2014, there were no transfers in or out of Level 3 from other levels in the fair value hierarchy.

 

The following table sets forth a summary of the changes in the fair value of our Level 3 financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Legal Matters

 

From time to time, the Company is subject to legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Such matters are subject to uncertainties and outcomes are not predictable with assurance. Management believes at this time that there are no ongoing matters that will have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

 

Subsequent to the acquisition of 3D-ID, the Company licensed sixteen (16) U.S. patents. The Company does not generally conduct exhaustive patent searches to determine whether the technology used in our products infringes patents held by third parties. The Company may face claims by third parties that its products or technology infringe their patents or other intellectual property rights in the future. Any claim of infringement could cause the Company to incur substantial costs defending against the claim, even if the claim is invalid, and could distract the attention of the Company’s management. If any of the Company’s products are found to violate third-party proprietary rights, it may be required to pay substantial damages.

 

Commitments

 

On August 19, 2011, the Company signed a licensing agreement with Technest Holdings, Inc. (“Technest”) and Genex Technologies, Inc., which granted 3D-ID a perpetual sub-licensable, exclusive, worldwide license to use their intellectual property in U.S. federal and state markets and a non-exclusive license in all other markets. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) is a stockholder of and was the former CEO of Technest. In consideration of the license of rights affected by this agreement, 3D-ID is obligated to pay Technest a royalty equal to 5% of net sales. To date, no royalties have been paid. As the Technest patents do not constitute part of the Company’s core intellectual property in its present or anticipated future product offerings, it has decided to forgo the exclusive rights to the Technest patents. As a result, the Company reversed an accrual of $35,000 which represented a minimum royalty to maintain certain exclusive rights. The Company retains a perpetual non-exclusive worldwide license to these patents.

 

In October 2012, the Company entered into an agreement with a consultant to provide public relations and marketing services to the Company for a period of three months.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

of Nxt-ID, Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Nxt-ID, Inc. and Subsidiary (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficiency and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Nxt-ID, Inc. and Subsidiary, as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 2, the Company has incurred significant losses and needs to raise additional funds to meet its obligations and sustain its operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL BUSINESS ACTIVITY

 

Nxt-ID, Inc. (“Nxt-ID” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on February 8, 2012. Nxt-ID is a biometrics company focused on the growing m-commerce market with an innovative MobileBio suite of biometric solutions that secure mobile platforms. The Company also serves the access control and law enforcement facial recognition markets. 

 

3D-ID, LLC (“3D-ID”) was organized and registered in the State of Florida on February 14, 2011. 3D-ID is an early stage company engaged in the design, research and development, integration, analysis, modeling, system networking, sales and support of intelligent surveillance, three dimensional facial recognition and three dimensional imaging devices and systems primarily for identification and access control in the security industries.

 

On September 25, 2012, Nxt-ID, a company having similar ownership as 3D-ID, acquired 100% of the membership interests in 3D-ID (the “Acquisition”) in exchange for 20,000,000 shares of Nxt-ID common stock. Since this was a transaction between entities under common control in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, “Business Combinations”, Nxt-ID recognized the net assets of 3D-ID at their carrying amounts in the accounts of Nxt-ID on the date that 3D-ID was organized.

 

In connection with the Acquisition, the Company’s Board of Directors and stockholders approved an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company to increase the Company’s authorized stock from 1,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, to 110,000,000 shares, consisting of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 10,000,000 shares of blank-check preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share. The amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation was approved by the State of Delaware on December 10, 2012, however, has been accounted for retroactively as of February 14, 2011, the date that 3D-ID was organized. The approval of the amendment was delayed for administrative reasons and was merely a perfunctory task.

 

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT PLANS

 

The Company is an early stage entity and incurred net losses of $1,544,534 during the year ended December 31, 2013. As of December 31, 2013 the Company had a working capital deficiency and stockholders’ deficiency of $1,839,127 and $1,831,393, respectively. Subsequent to December 31, 2013, the Company raised $900,000 through the issuance of common stock and warrants in a private placement (see Note 11). The Company received notice on February 11, 2014 from Connecticut Innovations, Inc. requesting the conversion of their outstanding convertible note of $150,000 and accrued interest of $21,485 into common stock on February 17, 2014. Since February 17 ^th was a holiday the Company issued the shares on February 18, 2014. The Company issued 55,497 shares in full relief of the outstanding debt of $171,485.

 

In order to execute the Company's long-term strategic plan to develop and commercialize its core products, the Company will need to raise additional funds, through public or private equity offerings, debt financings, or other means. The Company can give no assurance that the cash raised subsequent to December 31, 2013 or any additional funds raised will be sufficient to execute its business plan. Additionally, the Company can give no assurance that additional funds will be available on reasonable terms, or available at all, or that it will generate sufficient revenue to alleviate the going concern. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company’s ability to execute its business plan is dependent upon its ability to raise additional equity, secure debt financing, and/or generate revenue. Should the Company not be successful in obtaining the necessary financing, or generate sufficient revenue to fund its operations, the Company would need to curtail certain of its operational activities. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 those estimates. The Company’s significant estimates and assumptions include the valuation allowance relating to the Company’s deferred tax asset, the fair value of the Company’s stock, derivative financial instruments and stock-based compensation.

 

 

Nxt-ID, Inc. and Subsidiary

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Nxt-ID and its wholly-owned subsidiary, 3D-ID. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

CASH

 

The Company considers all highly liquid securities with an original maturity date of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had no cash equivalents. Due to their short-term nature, cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.

 

CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash.

 

The Company maintains its cash balances in financial institutions located in the United States. At times, the Company’s cash balances may be uninsured or in deposit accounts that exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits.

  

REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

The Company’s 3D facial recognition and identification products are currently available for sale. The Company recognizes revenue in connection with the sale of these products when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service has been rendered or product delivery has occurred, the price is fixed or readily determinable and collectability of the sale is reasonably assured.

 

The Company requires all of its product sales to be supported by evidence of a sale transaction that clearly indicates the selling price to the customer, shipping terms and payment terms. Evidence of an arrangement generally consists of a contract or purchase order approved by the customer. The Company recognizes revenue at the time in which it receives a confirmation that the goods were either tendered at their destination, when shipped “FOB destination,” or transferred to a shipping agent, when shipped “FOB shipping point.” Delivery to the customer is deemed to have occurred when the customer takes title to the product. Generally, title passes to the customer upon shipment, but could occur when the customer receives the product based on the terms of the agreement with the customer. The selling prices of all goods that the Company sells are fixed, and agreed to with the customer, prior to shipment.

 

In the event a sale is made to a customer under circumstances in which collectability is not reasonably assured, the Company either requires the customer to remit payment prior to shipment or defers recognition of the revenue until payment is received. The Company maintains a reserve for amounts which may not be collectible due to risk of credit losses. The Company’s sales typically do not include multiple deliverable arrangements.

 

LONG-LIVED ASSETS

 

Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable in accordance with ASC 360-10-35-17 through 35-35 "Measurement of an Impairment Loss." The Company assesses the impairment of the assets based on the undiscounted future cash flow the assets are expected to generate compared to the carrying value of the assets. If the carrying amount of the assets is determined not to be recoverable, a write-down to fair value is recorded. Management estimates future cash flows using assumptions about expected future operating performance. Management's estimates of future cash flows may differ from actual cash flow due to, among other things, technological changes, economic conditions or changes to the Company's business operations.

  

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

 

Property and equipment consisting of furniture and fixtures is stated at cost. The costs of additions and betterments are capitalized and expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed in the period incurred. When items of property and equipment are sold or retired, the related costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in income. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the respective asset as follows:

 

	Equipment	5 years
	Furniture and fixtures	3 to 5 years

 

Depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $585 and $99, respectively.

 

 

Nxt-ID, Inc. and Subsidiary

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

INVENTORY

 

Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market with cost determined using the first-in, first-out method and with market defined as the lower of replacement cost or realizable value. Inventory is comprised principally of raw materials.

 

CONVERTIBLE INSTRUMENTS

 

The Company applies the accounting standards for derivatives and hedging and for distinguishing liabilities from equity when accounting for hybrid contracts that feature conversion options. The accounting standards require companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments according to certain criteria. The criteria includes circumstances in which (i) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (ii) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (iii) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument.

 

The derivative is subsequently marked to market at each reporting date based on current fair value, with the changes in fair value reported in the results of operations.

 

Conversion options that contain variable settlement features such as provisions to adjust the conversion price upon subsequent issuances of equity or equity linked securities at exercise prices more favorable than that featured in the hybrid contract generally result in their bifurcation from the host instrument.

 

The Company accounts for convertible debt instruments when the Company has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments in accordance with ASC 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options”. The Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt. See Note 5.

 

DERIVATIVE FINANCIALS INSTRUMENTS

 

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the consolidated statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option valuation model to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. The conversion feature embedded within Company’s convertible note payable does not have fixed settlement provisions as the conversion price varies based on the trading price of the Company’s common stock and the potential number of common shares to be issued upon conversion is indeterminable up to a maximum of 120,000 shares of common stock. In addition, the warrants issued in connection with the Offering (as defined in Note 8) do not have fixed settlement provisions as their exercise prices may be lowered if the Company conducts an offering in the future at a price per share below the exercise price of the warrants. Accordingly, the conversion feature and warrants have been recognized as derivative instruments. Although the Company determined the conversion feature and warrants both include a implied downside protection feature, it performed a Monte-Carlo simulation and concluded that the difference in value between the Monte-Carlo simulation and the Black-Scholes valuation model is de minimis and the use of the Black-Scholes valuation model is considered to be a reasonable method to value each instrument. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.  (See Note 6.)

 

DEBT DISCOUNT AND AMORTIZATION OF DEBT DISCOUNT

 

Debt discount represents the fair value of embedded conversion options of various convertible debt instruments and attached convertible equity instruments issued in connection with debt instruments. The debt discount is amortized over the earlier of (i) the term of the debt or (ii) conversion of the debt, using the straight-line method which approximates the interest method. The amortization of debt discount is included as a component of other expenses in the accompanying statements of operations.

 

 

Nxt-ID, Inc. and Subsidiary

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

INCOME TAXES

 

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, "Income Taxes." Under this method, income tax expense is recognized for the amount of: (i) taxes payable or refundable for the current year and (ii) deferred tax consequences of temporary differences resulting from matters that have been recognized in an entity's financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if based on the weight of the available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

ASC Topic 740-10-30 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC Topic 740-10-40 provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The Company will classify as income tax expense any interest and penalties. The Company has no material uncertain tax positions for any of the reporting periods presented. Generally, the tax authorities may examine the partnership/corporate tax returns for three years from the date of filing. All periods are open for examination since the Company is still in the process of filing its tax returns for all periods. Therefore, the Company’s net operating loss carryovers will not be available to offset future taxable income, if any, until the returns are filed.

 

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

The Company accounts for share-based awards exchanged for employee services at the estimated grant date fair value of the award. The Company estimates the fair value of employee stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company amortizes the fair value of employee stock options on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards. Compensation expense includes the impact of an estimate for forfeitures for all stock options.

 

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to non-employees at their fair value on the measurement date. The measurement of stock-based compensation is subject to periodic adjustment as the underlying equity instrument vests or becomes non-forfeitable. Non-employee stock-based compensation charges are amortized over the vesting period or as earned.

 

NET LOSS PER SHARE

 

Basic loss per share was computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per share includes the effect of diluted common stock equivalents. Potentially dilutive securities realizable from the exercise of 454,600 warrants and from the conversion of the Company’s notes payable into 50,000 shares of common stock as of December 31, 2013, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. As of December 31, 2012 there were no potentially dilutive securities.

 

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

 

Research and development costs consist of expenditures incurred during the course of planned research and investigation aimed at the discovery of new knowledge, which will be useful in developing new products or processes. The Company expenses all research and development costs as incurred.

 

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) has issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). The amendments in this ASU state that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except as follows. To the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does

not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. For nonpublic entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date. Retrospective application is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

NOTE 5 - CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

 

On December 13, 2012, the Company received approval from Connecticut Innovations, Inc. (“CII”) for a Convertible Note (the “Note”) in the amount of $150,000 The Company received the first tranche of $75,000 on December 21, 2012, and the second tranche of $75,000 on January 31, 2013. As of December 31, 2013, the Company has accrued $17,497 in interest in connection with the Note. The Note’s maturity date is December 21, 2014.

 

The Note accrues interest at the annual rate of 12% and all principal and interest is repayable in full on December 21, 2014 if it has not been converted. CII has the option to convert the outstanding principal and interest on the Note into shares of the Company’s common stock at a discount of 25% of the Company’s common stock price, but not less than $1.25 as agreed by the two parties. In accordance with ASC 470, “Accounting for Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios,” the Note is considered to have a beneficial conversion feature as the effective conversion price will be less than the Company’s stock price.  In addition, in accordance with ASC 815 the conversion feature is considered to be a derivative instrument as the conversion price varies based on the trading price of the Company’s common stock and the potential number of common shares to be issued upon conversion is variable up to a maximum of 120,000 shares. At December 31, 2013, the note payable is convertible into 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

The conversion feature embedded in the note payable was triggered once the Company completed a qualified financing, as defined in the note agreement. The Company determined that a qualified financing occurred during the second quarter of 2013 in connection with the issuance of the registered units under its initial registration statement (See Note 8).  As a result, the Company recorded a conversion feature liability and a corresponding debt discount of $44,966 on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet on the date the qualified financing was determined to have occurred.

 

The unrealized loss on the change in the fair value of the conversion feature liability was determined to be $73,974 for the year ended December 31, 2013 (See Note 6). Amortization expense relating to the Company’s debt discount for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $18,211.

NOTE 6 - DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

 

Fair value of financial instruments is defined as an exit price, which is the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The degree of judgment utilized in measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities generally correlates to the level of pricing observability. Financial assets and liabilities with readily available, actively quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices in active markets generally have more pricing observability and require less judgment in measuring fair value. Conversely, financial assets and liabilities that are rarely traded or not quoted have less price observability and are generally measured at fair value using valuation models that require more judgment. These valuation techniques involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency of the asset, liability or market and the nature of the asset or liability. The Company has categorized its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value into a three-level hierarchy.

 

The conversion feature embedded within the Company’s convertible notes payable and the warrants issued in connection with the Offering (as defined in Note 8) do not have fixed settlement provisions because the conversion and exercises prices may be lowered if the Company issues securities at lower prices in the future.

 

The derivative liabilities were valued using the Black-Scholes option valuation model and the following weighted average assumptions on the following dates:

		May 25, 2013				December 31, 2013
Embedded Conversion Feature and Warrant Liability:
Risk-free interest rate			0.30	%			0.30	%
Expected volatility			91.17	%			123.54	%
Expected life (in years)			1.60				4.59
Expected dividend yield			-				-
Number of shares			120,000				500,000
Fair value		$	44,966			$	1,650,243

 

The risk-free interest rate was based on rates established by the Federal Reserve. Since the Company’s stock has not been publicly traded for a sufficiently long period of time, the Company is utilizing an expected volatility figure based on a review of the historical volatilities, over a period of time, equivalent to the expected life of the instrument being valued, of similarly positioned public companies within its industry. The expected life of the conversion feature was determined by the maturity date of the Note and the expected life of the warrants was determined by their expiration dates. The expected dividend yield was based upon the fact that the Company has not historically paid dividends on its common stock, and does not expect to pay dividends on its common stock in the future.

 

Fair Value Measurement

 

Valuation Hierarchy

ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” establishes a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs to valuation used to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on the Company’s own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

The following table provides the liabilities carried at fair value measured on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2013:

 

						Fair Value Measurements at December 31, 2013
		Total  Carrying  Value at December 31, 2013				Quoted  prices in  active markets (Level 1)				Significant  other  observable inputs (Level 2)				Significant  unobservable inputs (Level 3)
Derivative liabilities		$	1,650,243			$	-			$	-			$	1,650,243

NOTE 6 - DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES (CONTINUED)

 

The carrying amounts of cash, inventory, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to their short maturities. The Company’s other financial instruments include its convertible notes payable obligations. The carrying value of these instruments approximate fair value, as they bear terms and conditions comparable to market, for obligations with similar terms and maturities. The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

 

Level 3 liabilities are valued using unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the derivative liabilities. For fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s accounting department, who reports to the Principal Financial Officer, determines its valuation policies and procedures. The development and determination of the unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements and fair value calculations are the responsibility of the Company’s accounting department and are approved by the Principal Financial Officer.

 

Level 3 Valuation Techniques

Level 3 financial liabilities consist of the conversion feature liability and common stock purchase warrants for which there are no current market for these securities such that the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation. Changes in fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are analyzed each period based on changes in estimates or assumptions and recorded as appropriate. A significant decrease in the volatility or a significant decrease in the Company’s stock price, in isolation, would result in a significantly lower fair value measurement.

 

As of December 31, 2013, there were no transfers in or out of level 3 from other levels in the fair value hierarchy.

 

The following table sets forth a summary of the changes in the fair value of our Level 3 financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

 

		For the year ended
		December 31, 2013
Beginning balance		$	-
Recognition of conversion feature liability			44,966

NOTE 8 - STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIENCY (CONTINUED)

 

On January 13, 2014, the Company closed a “best efforts” private offering of $1,000,000 (the “Offering”) with a group of accredited investors (the “Purchasers”) and the Company exercised the oversubscription amount allowed in the Offering of $350,000, for total gross proceeds to the Company of $1,350,000 before deducting placement agent fees and other expenses. Pursuant to a securities purchase agreement with the Purchasers (the “Purchase Agreement”), the Company issued to the Purchasers (i) 415,387 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value, $0.0001 (the “Common Stock”) and (ii) 1,350,000 warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase shares (the “Warrant Shares” and together with the Shares and the Warrants, the “Securities”) of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.25 per share. In connection with the Offering, 138,463 units were sold at the end of December of 2013 and 276,924 units were sold in January 2014, all at $3.25 per unit. As a result, the Company received aggregate gross proceeds of $450,000 in December 2013 from the issuance of 138,463 shares of common stock and 450,000 warrants, and the Company received $900,000 in January 2014 from the issuance of 276,924 shares of common stock and 900,000 warrants. Costs incurred associated with the Offering in December 2013 were $56,820. In January 2014, the placement agent received 41,539 warrants from the Offering.

 

The Warrants are exercisable for a period of five years from the original issue date. The exercise price with respect to the Warrants is $3.25 per share. The exercise price for the Warrants is subject to adjustment upon certain events, such as stock splits, combinations, dividends, distributions, reclassifications, mergers or other corporate change and dilutive issuances. See Note 6.

 

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company’s founders who are members of management (the “Founders”) agreed to cancel a corresponding number of shares to those Shares issued in the Offering and place in escrow a corresponding number of shares to be cancelled for each Warrant Share issued. As a result, the Founders retired 138,463 and 276,924 shares of common stock in December 2013 and January 2014, respectively.

 

In connection with the sale of the Shares and Warrants, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Purchasers, pursuant to which the Company agreed to register the Shares and the shares of our Common Stock underlying the Warrants (the “Registrable Securities”) on a Form S-1 registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) to be filed with the SEC on the earlier of February 25, 2014 or within 3 business days following the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 (the “Filing Date”) and to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act within 90 days following the Filing Date (the “Required Filing Date”). If the Registration Statement is not filed by the Filing Date or declared effective by the Required Effective Date, the Company is required to pay partial liquidated damages to each Purchaser in the amount equal to 2% for the purchase price paid for the Shares and Warrants then owned by such Purchaser for each 30-day period for which the Company is non-compliant.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company issued 632,000 shares of common stock at $0.25 per share and received proceeds of $158,000.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2012, the founders of 3D-ID contributed $4,300 to fund the Company’s activities.

 

Common Stock Purchase Warrants

 

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company received $300,000 in net proceeds from the exercise of 300,000 warrants from holders of the units.

 

The following table summarizes the Company's warrants outstanding at December 31, 2013:

Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan

 

On January 4, 2013, a majority the Company’s stockholders approved by written consent the Company’s 2013 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan (“LTIP”). The maximum aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the LTIP, including stock awards and stock appreciation rights, is limited to 10% of the shares of common stock outstanding on the first business or trading day of any fiscal year, which is 2,193,782 at December 31, 2013. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company issued 48,833 restricted shares under the plan to two non-executive directors with an aggregate fair value of $30,000. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company issued 100,000 shares with an aggregate value of $100,000 to four non-executive employees. At December 31, 2013, a total of 148,833 shares have been issued from the Plan and 2,044,949 are available to be issued.

 

NOTE 9 - INCOME TAXES

 

As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had approximately $1,641,000 and $194,000, respectively, of US federal and state net operating loss (“NOLs”) carryovers available to offset future taxable income, which expire beginning in 2033.

 

In accordance with Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, deductibility of the Company’s NOLs may be subject to an annual limitation in the event of a change of control. The Company has performed a preliminary evaluation and has determined that a change of control has not occurred as of December 31, 2013. The Company is still in the process of filing its tax returns for all periods. Therefore, the Company’s net operating loss carryovers will not be available to offset future taxable income, if any, until the returns are filed.

 

The income tax provision (benefit) consists of the following:

 

		December 31,
		2013				2012
Current
Federal		$	-			$	-
State			-				-
			-				-
Deferred
Federal			(491,900	)			(66,000	)
State			(71,500	)			(9,700	)
			(563,400	)			(75,700	)
Change in valuation allowance			563,400				75,700
Total income tax provision		$	-			$	-

 

A reconciliation of the effective income tax rate and the statutory federal income tax rate is as follows:

 

		December 31,
		2013				2012
U.S. federal statutory rate			(34.00	)%			(34.00	)%
State income tax rate, net of federal benefit			(4.95	)			(5.00	)
Other permanent differences			2.47				-
Less: valuation allowance			36.48				39.00
Provision for income taxes			-	%			-	%

 

In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences representing net future deductible amounts became deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. After consideration of all of the information available, Management believes that significant uncertainties exists with respect to future realization of the deferred tax assets and has therefore established a full valuation allowance. For the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the change in valuation allowance was $563,400 and $75,700.

LEGAL MATTERS

 

From time to time, the Company is subject to legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Such matters are subject to uncertainties and outcomes are not predictable with assurance. Management believes at this time, there are no ongoing matters that will have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

 

Subsequent to the acquisition of 3D-ID, the Company licensed sixteen (16) U.S. patents. The Company does not generally conduct exhaustive patent searches to determine whether the technology used in our products infringes patents held by third parties. The Company may face claims by third parties that its products or technology infringe their patents or other intellectual property rights in the future. Any claim of infringement could cause the Company to incur substantial costs defending against the claim, even if the claim is invalid, and could distract the attention of the Company’s management. If any of the Company’s products are found to violate third-party proprietary rights, it may be required to pay substantial damages.

 

COMMITMENTS

 

Around the date of the Acquisition the Company signed a licensing agreement with Aellipsys Holdings, Inc., an unrelated party, which granted 3D-ID a perpetual sub-licensable, non-exclusive, worldwide license to use their intellectual property, including, but not limited to, those of GeoMetrix, Inc., which has 18 patents in the field of 3D facial recognition and Active ID systems for access control and identification of individuals. 3D-ID is required to pay Aellipsys Holdings a royalty for each product manufactured, sold and installed at a customer by 3D-ID equal to two thousand dollars ($2,000). An additional royalty of ten percent (10%) is payable on recurring revenues from the same installation. The term of the initial agreement is five years. During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 the Company paid $0 and $10,000, respectively, in royalty payments to GeoMetrix, Inc.

 

On August 19, 2011, the Company signed a licensing agreement with Technest Holdings, Inc. and Genex Technologies, Inc., which granted 3D-ID a perpetual sub-licensable, exclusive, worldwide license to use their intellectual property in U.S. Federal and State markets, and a non-exclusive license in all other markets. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) is a stockholder of and was the former CEO of Technest Holdings, Inc. In consideration of the license of rights affected by this Agreement, 3D-ID is obligated to pay Technest a royalty equal to 5% of net sales with a minimum royalty of $15,000 during the first two years and $20,000 for each contract year thereafter. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company incurred $15,000 each year, in connection with the agreement. As of December 31, 2013, $35,000 of minimum royalties are included in accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheet in connection with the agreement.
