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 September 30, 2014 and for the three and nine 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 September 30, 2014, the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 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 nine months ended September 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 – Recent Events
The Company is an early stage company and incurred net losses of $4,956,099 during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, which included an aggregate $2,403,481 of non-cash adjustments to reconcile the Company’s net loss to net cash used in operating activities. As of September 30, 2014, the Company had working capital and stockholders’ equity of $4,595,829 and $4,632,727, respectively.

The warrants are exercisable for a period of five (5) years beginning on September 15, 2014 at an exercise price of $3.288 per share. The Company received net proceeds of $4,954,042 from the public offering, after deducting the underwriting discount and other offering related expenses.
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.
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 September 30, 2014 inventory is comprised of $32,619 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 September 30, 2014, $165,153 of prepayments made for 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 September 30, 2014, the Company has received $117,088 in customer deposits in connection with pre-orders of its Mobile Bio Wocket.
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 4 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. The amortization of debt discount is included as a component of interest and other expenses, net in the accompanying statements of operations.

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 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 has filed all of its tax returns for the year ended December 31, 2013. As a result, the Company’s net operating loss carryovers will now be available to offset any future taxable income.
Stock-Based Compensation
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 3,629,776 warrants as of September 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 September 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 204,600 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 4 - 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 to determine the number of shares issued to CII resulting from the conversion. The Company issued 55,497 shares in full relief of its outstanding debt and accrued interest of $171,485.
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 nine months ended September 30, 2014 (see Note 6 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 nine months ended September 30, 2014.
Note 5 - 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) warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase 1,350,000 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 to purchase 41,539 shares of the Company’s common stock as fees.
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.

Note 5 - Stockholders' Equity (continued)
The Warrants are exercisable for a period of five (5) 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 1,391,539 Warrants issued in the Offering as compensation to the placement agent 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 gain on derivative liabilities of $448,072 and reclassified the aggregate re-measured value of the Warrants of $4,514,772 to additional paid-in capital. See Note 6 below.
On various dates, during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company received gross proceeds of $1,500,000 in connection with the exercise of 500,000 warrants into 500,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share, net of fees paid upon the exercise of the warrants issued in the Offering per the terms of the underwriter agreement of $30,000. Upon exercise, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company’s Founders cancelled a corresponding number of shares for each Warrant Share issued. As a result, the Founders retired 400,000 shares of common stock.
From June 12, 2014 to June 17, 2014, the Company conducted a private offering with a group of accredited investors (the “June Purchasers”) who had previously participated in the Offering that occurred between December 30, 2013 and January 13, 2014 (as discussed in this Note 5). Pursuant to a securities purchase agreement with the Purchasers, the Company issued to the June Purchasers warrants (the “June Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 400,000 shares (the “June Shares”) of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share. The June Warrants are exercisable for a period of five (5) years from the original issue date. The exercise price for the June Warrants is subject to adjustment upon certain events, such as stock splits, combinations, dividends, distributions, reclassifications, mergers or other corporate change and dilutive issuances.
In connection with the issuance of the June Warrants, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement with the June Purchasers pursuant to which the Company agreed to register the Shares and the shares of the 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 ninety (90) days following the completion of an underwritten public offering (the “Filing Date”) and to cause the June Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act within ninety (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 of December 15, 2014, the Company is required to pay partial liquidated damages to each June Purchaser in the amount equal to two percent (2%) for the purchase price paid for the June Warrants then owned by such June Purchaser for each 30-day period for which the Company is non-compliant.

Note 5 - Stockholders' Equity (continued)
On August 21, 2014, pursuant to a securities purchase agreement with two (2) Purchasers (the “August Purchasers”) who had previously participated in the Offering that occurred between December 30, 2013 and January 13, 2014 (as discussed in this Note 5), the Company issued to the August Purchasers warrants (the “August Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 100,000 shares (the “August Shares”) of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share. The August Warrants are exercisable for a period of five (5) years from the original issue date. The exercise price for the August Warrants is subject to adjustment upon certain events, such as stock splits, combinations, dividends, distributions, reclassifications, mergers, or other corporate changes and dilutive issuances.
In connection with the issuance of the August Warrants, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement with the August Purchasers pursuant to which the Company agreed to register the August Shares and the shares of the 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 ninety (90) days following the Filing Date and to cause the August Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act by the Required Effective Date.
If the August 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 August Purchaser in the amount equal to two percent 2% for the purchase price paid for the August Warrants then owned by such August Purchaser for each 30-day period for which the Company is non-compliant.
The Company determined that the effect of the issuance of the 500,000 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 $1,262,038 and $210,940 for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2014, respectively.
On September 15, 2014, the Company closed on an underwritten public offering of its common stock and warrants. The Company offered 2,127,273 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 2,127,273 shares of common stock, at a combined price to the public of $2.75 per share and related warrant. The warrants are exercisable for a period of five (5) years beginning on September 15, 2014 at an exercisable price of $3.288 per share. The Company received net proceeds of $4,954,042 from the public offering, after deducting the underwriting discount and other offering related expenses.
In connection with the underwritten public offering of the Company’s common stock and warrants on September 15, 2014, the Company was required to obtain a waiver and consent from the investors in the January 13, 2014 private offering in order to conduct the public offering at a price of $2.75 per share and warrant. As a result, on September 10, 2014, the Company issued the majority investors in the January 13, 2014 private offering, 261,131 unregistered shares of common stock and reduced the exercise price on the outstanding Warrants, June Warrants, and August Warrants from $3.00 to $2.00 per share of common stock for all of the investors. During the three months ended September 30, 2014, the Company recorded additional inducement expense of $718,110 and $232,360 related to the issuance of unregistered shares of common stock to the majority investors and the modification of the warrant exercise price, respectively.
The following table summarizes the Company's warrants outstanding at September 30, 2014:

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 5 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 | ||||||||||
Embedded Conversion Feature and Warrant Liability: | ||||||||||||
Risk-free interest rate | 1.52 | % | .10 | % | 1.60 | % | ||||||
Expected volatility | 105.36 | % | 105.36 | % | 123.54 | % | ||||||
Expected life (in years) | 4.88 | .75 | 5.00 | |||||||||
Expected dividend yield | - | - | - | |||||||||
Number of shares | 1,391,539 | 55,497 | 941,539 | |||||||||
Fair value | $ | 4,514,772 | $ | 98,722 | $ | 3,431,541 |
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 4) 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.

Note 6 – Derivative liabilities (continued)
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 Company had no liabilities carried at fair value measured on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2014.
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 September 30, 2014, there were no transfers in or out of Level 3 from other levels in the fair value hierarchy.

These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to disseminate any update or revisions of any of the forward-looking statements to reflect any change in our expectations with regard thereto or to conform these statements to actual results.
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 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.
19 |
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
Comparison of nine and three months ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013
Revenue. There were no revenues during the nine and three months ended September 30, 2014 or the nine and three months ended September 30, 2013. In May 2014, the Company started taking advance orders for the Wocket™ and deliveries of the product are expected to commence in the latter part of the fourth quarter of 2014.

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 totaled $3,106,145 and consisted of research and development expenses of $887,180, selling and marketing expenses of $749,974 and general and administrative expenses of $1,468,991. The research and development expenses related primarily to salaries and consulting services of $546,436, as well as materials including prototypes of $280,131 necessary for the design, development and manufacturing of the Company’s biometric wallet. Selling and marketing expenses consisted of $749,974 primarily for marketing consultants of $158,263 and advertising and promotion for the pre-orders for the Wocket™ of $318,613. General and administrative expenses for the period consisted of salaries of $258,232, legal, audit and accounting fees of $187,722 and consulting fees for public relations of $383,553. Also included is $554,225 in non-cash stock compensation to consultants, employees and board members.
Operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 totaled $1,014,331 and consisted of research and development expenses of $432,361, selling and marketing expenses of $9,823 and general and administrative expenses of $572,147. 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™, non-cash incentive stock compensation to non-executive employees of $100,000 and salaries of $190,000. General and administrative expenses for the period totaled $527,147. Of this amount, $113,000 was for salaries, $155,400 in non-cash stock compensation to consultants for marketing and public relations and a board member and approximately $130,000 for professional fees. The increase in expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 over the same period ended September 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.
Operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2014 totaled $1,546,339 and consisted of research and development expenses of $463,054, selling and marketing expenses of $372,371 and general and administrative expenses of $710,914. The research and development expenses related primarily to salaries and consulting services of $204,806, as well as materials including prototypes of $181,213 for the development of the Company’s biometric wallet. Selling and marketing expenses consisted of $372,371 primarily for marketing consultants of $98,909 and advertising and promotion for the pre-orders for the Wocket™ of $212,104. General and administrative expenses for the period consisted of salaries of $92,635, and consulting fees for public relations of approximately $165,685. Also included is $410,225 in non-cash stock compensation to consultants, employees and board members.
Operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2013 totaled $420,831 and consisted primarily of research and development expenses of $170,354 and general and administrative expenses of $246,143. The research and development expenses mainly related to consulting services for the design and development of the Company’s biometric wallet of approximately $61,000 and a non-cash incentive stock based compensation to non-executive employees of $100,000. General and administrative expenses for the period consisted of salaries and payments to consultants for financial consulting and public relations. This included $110,400 in non-cash stock compensation to consultants and a board member. The increase in expenditures for the three months ended September 30, 2014 over the same period ended September 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.
Net Loss. The net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $4,956,099, including $30,744 in interest expense from the loan to the Company from Connecticut Innovations, and inducement expenses of $2,212,538 related to warrant exercises, a modification of the exercise price of certain warrants, and the issuance of unregistered shares of common stock. Also included is the unrealized gain on change in fair value of derivatives liabilities of $393,328 that was 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 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 September 30, 2014. The net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $1,075,749, including $37,560 of unrealized loss on the change in fair value of derivative liabilities and $12,550 in interest expense for the loan to the Company from Connecticut Innovations. The net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was $2,707,749 including inducement expenses of $1,161,410 related to a warrant exercise, a modification of the exercise price of certain warrants, and the issuance of unregistered shares of common stock.

Cash Provided by Financing Activities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company received net proceeds of $7,225,056 from the issuance of common stock and warrants and the exercise of warrants.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company received $346,435 from the issuance of common stock and warrants and the exercise of warrants. In addition, the Company received the second and final tranche of a loan from Connecticut Innovations in the amount of $75,000.

The advances are non-interest bearing and short-term in nature.
On September 15, 2014, the Company closed on an underwritten public offering of its common stock and warrants. The Company offered 2,127,273 shares of common stock and 2,127,273 warrants to purchases shares of common stock, at a combined price to the public of $2.75 per share and related warrant. The warrants are exercisable for a period of five (5) years beginning on September 15, 2014 at an exercisable price of $3.288 per share. The Company received net proceeds of $4,954,042 from the public offering, after deducting the underwriting discount and other offering related expenses.
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.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), which stipulates that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for such goods or services. To achieve this core principle, an entity should apply the following steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract(s); (3) determine the transaction price(s); (4) allocate the transaction price(s) to the performance obligations in the contract(s); and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The guidance also requires advanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 with early adoption not permitted. The amendments may be applied retrospectively to each period presented or with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of initial application. The Company is currently evaluating ASU 2014-09.
In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (“ASU 2014-15”), amending FASB Accounting Standards Subtopic 205-40 to provide guidance about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. Specifically, the amendments (1) provide a definition of the term “substantial doubt,” (2) require an evaluation every reporting period, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that financial statements are issued. ASU 2014-15 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. The Company is currently evaluating ASU 2014-15 and does not anticipate a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
As a smaller reporting company, as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we are not required to provide the information required by this item.
22 |
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of September 30, 2014, the Company carried out an evaluation by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (who for nearly the entire quarter ending September 30, 2014 was also our Principal Financial Officer) of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. As discussed below, management has concluded that as of September 30, 2014 our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
As of September 30, 2014, we identified certain matters that constituted a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting. Specifically, we have difficulty in accounting for complex accounting transactions and have limited segregation of duties within our accounting and financial reporting functions. Management has recently hired a Chief Financial Officer with significant experience to help address this situation. Segregation of duties within our Company is limited due to the small number of employees that are assigned to positions that involve the processing of financial information. Additional time is required to expand our staff, fully document our systems, implement control procedures and test their operating effectiveness before we can definitively conclude that we have remediated our material weakness.
Changes in Internal Controls
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations of the Effectiveness of Control
A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations of any control system, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within a company have been detected.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
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.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
As a smaller reporting company, as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we are not required to provide the information required by this item.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
On August 21, 2014, pursuant to a securities purchase agreement with two (2) Purchasers (the “August Purchasers”) who had previously participated in the Offering that occurred between December 30, 2013 and January 13, 2014 (as discussed in Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements herein), the Company issued to the August Purchasers warrants (the “August Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 100,000 shares (the “August Shares”) of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share. The August Warrants are exercisable for a period of five (5) years from the original issue date. The exercise price for the August Warrants is subject to adjustment upon certain events, such as stock splits, combinations, dividends, distributions, reclassifications, mergers, or other corporate changes and dilutive issuances.
The sale and the issuance of the August Warrants were offered and sold in reliance upon exemptions from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act (“Regulation D”). We made this determination based on the representations of each August Purchaser which included, in pertinent part, that each such August Purchaser was (a) an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D or (b) a “qualified institutional buyer” within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act and upon such further representations from each Purchaser that (i) such August Purchaser is acquiring the securities for his, her or its own account for investment and not for the account of any other person and not with a view to or for distribution, assignment or resale in connection with any distribution within the meaning of the Securities Act, (ii) the August Purchaser agrees not to sell or otherwise transfer the purchased shares unless they are registered under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws, or an exemption or exemptions from such registration are available, (iii) the August Purchaser has knowledge and experience in financial and business matters such that he, she or it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in us, (iv) the August Purchaser had access to all of our documents, records, and books pertaining to the investment and was provided the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers regarding the terms and conditions of the offering and to obtain any additional information which we possessed or were able to acquire without unreasonable effort and expense, and (v) the August Purchaser has no need for the liquidity in its investment in us and could afford the complete loss of such investment. In addition, there was no general solicitation or advertising for securities issued in reliance upon Regulation D.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities
None.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosure
Not applicable.
Item 5. Other Information
There have been no material changes to the procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to our Board of Directors.
