EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

Nxt-ID, Inc. (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Amendment”) to amend and restate its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2014, originally filed on August 8, 2014 (the “Original Filing”). 

 

Background to the Restatement

 

During the preparation of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ending September 30, 2014, The Company and the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”) identified an accounting error and a computational error in the condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2014.

 

The Company and the Audit Committee determined that it was necessary to correct the accounting error for certain warrants as presented within the statement of operations along with a corresponding impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2014.  In addition, the Company also corrected the computational error. The impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2014 resulted in a net loss for the six and three months ended June 30, 2014 of $2,228,915 and $2,090,546 respectively, compared to the previously reported loss of $3,822,887 and $2,227,435.

 

The non-cash adjustments primarily relate to the February 2014 determination of the fair value of derivatives associated with the Company’s warrants issued in December 2013 and January 2014 and inducement expense on warrants reissued in June 2014. The amendment and restatement of these values resulted in the revision of charges reported in the Original Filing aggregating $2,232,337 and $1,177,760, respectively, for the six and three months ended June 30, 2014, to charges aggregating $638,365, and $1,051,128, respectively, as a result of these corrections. The Company also reduced the amount of operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2014 by $10,257 from the previously reported amount of $1,049,675 to $1,039,418. The net loss for the six and three months ended June 30, 2014, was revised to $2,228,915 and $2,090,546, respectively, compared to the previously reported loss of $3,822,887 and $2,227,435, respectively. Total assets, total liabilities and total stockholders’ equity at June 30, 2014 were unchanged as a result. Further, cash flows including cash flows from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2014 were also unchanged. These errors did not impact the Company’s results of operations or our financial position as of or for any period prior to January 1, 2014. 

 

Effects of Restatement

 

This Amendment amends and restates Item 1 (Financial Statements) and Item 2 (Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations) of Part I of the Original Filing, as necessary based on the restatement of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Additionally, this Amendment replaces the interactive data files required by Item 601(b)(101) of Regulation S-K and Sections 405 and 406T of Regulation S-T, that were initially filed on the Original Filing.  As required pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, this Amendment also includes updated certifications from the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as Exhibits 31.1, 31.2, 32.1 and 32.2.

 

Except as described above or the specific events of a later date as disclosed in Item 2, this Amendment does not amend, update or change any other items or disclosures in the Original Filing and does not purport to reflect any information or events subsequent to the filing thereof.   Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original Filing.

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 - Restatement

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2014 and for the six and three months then ended have been amended and restated to correct non-cash errors in the accounting for warrants and a computational error included in the financial statements and footnotes.

 

The non-cash adjustments primarily relate to the February 2014 determination of the fair value of derivatives associated with the Company’s warrants issued in December 2013 and January 2014 and inducement expense on warrants reissued in June 2014. The amendment and restatement of these values resulted in the revision of charges reported in the Original Filing aggregating $2,232,337 and $1,177,760, respectively, for the six and three months ended June 30, 2014, to charges aggregating $638,365, and $1,051,128, respectively, as a result of these corrections. The Company also reduced the amount of operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2014 by $10,257 from the previously reported amount of $1,049,675 to $1,039,418. The net loss for the six and three months ended June 30, 2014, was revised to $2,228,915 and $2,090,546, respectively, compared to the previously reported loss of $3,822,887 and $2,227,435, respectively. Total assets, total liabilities and total stockholders’ equity at June 30, 2014 were unchanged as a result. Further, cash flows including cash flows from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2014 were also unchanged. These errors did not impact the Company’s results of operations or our financial position as of or for any period prior to January 1, 2014.

 

Note 3 - Going Concern and Management Plans

 

The Company is an early stage company and incurred net losses of $2,228,915 during the six months ended June 30, 2014, which included an aggregate $810,380 of non-cash adjustments to reconcile the Company’s net loss to net cash used in operating activities. 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 $1,969,994 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 4 - 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 June 30, 2014 inventory is comprised of $29,567 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, $86,600 of prepaid inventory is included in prepaids on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Note 4 - 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 $80,075 in customer deposits in connection with pre-orders of its MobileBio 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 5 below.

Note 4 - Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

 

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.

 

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 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.

Note 4 - Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

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 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.

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 (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 $3,450,976 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 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 $392,545 and reclassified the aggregate re-measured value of the Warrants of $4,589,734 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 cancelled a corresponding number of shares for each Warrant Share issued. As a result, the Founders retired 400,000 shares of common stock.

Note 6 - Stockholders' Equity (continued)

 

From June 12, 2014 to June 17, 2014, the Company conducted 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). Pursuant to a securities purchase agreement with the Purchasers, the Company issued to the 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 Warrants are exercisable for a period of (5) five 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. 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 $1,051,128 for the six and three months ended June 30, 2014.

 

In connection with the sale of the June 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 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 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 and exercisable at June 30, 2014:

  

										Weighted

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 5,084 and 2,558 restricted shares, respectively, under the plan to two non-executive directors with an aggregate fair value of $20,000 and $10,000, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company issued 29,883 shares of common stock with an aggregate fair value of $124,000 to consultants for services rendered to the Company. The Company did not issue any common stock to employees during the six months ended June 30, 2014.

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
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				0.75				5.00
Expected dividend yield			-				-				-
Number of shares			1,391,539				55,497				941,539
Fair value		$	4,589,734			$	98,722			$	3,450,976

 

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 Company had no liabilities carried at fair value measured on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2014.

Note 7 – 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 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:

 

		For the Six Months Ended				For the Six and Three Months Ended
		June 30, 2014				June 30, 2013
Beginning liability balance		$	1,650,243			$	-
Recognition of derivative value in equity			3,450,976				44,966
Net unrealized gain on derivative liabilities in equity			(392,545	)			-

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.

 

 

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.

The research and development expenses related primarily to salaries and consulting services of approximately $341,630, as well as materials including prototypes of approximately $98,918 necessary for the design, development and manufacturing of the Company’s biometric wallet. Selling and marketing expenses of $377,603 related primarily to marketing consultants of $59,353 and advertising and promotion for the Wocket™ of $166,509. General and administrative expenses for the period consisted of salaries of $165,597, legal, audit and accounting fees of approximately $159,475 and consulting fees for public relations of approximately $217,867. 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 and marketing expenses of $5,489 and general and administrative expenses 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 expenditures 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.  

 

 

Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2014 totaled $1,039,418 and consisted of research and development expenses of $259,848, selling and marketing expenses of $317,419 and general and administrative expenses of $462,151. The research and development expenses related primarily to salaries and consulting services of $170,632, as well as materials including prototypes of $75,422 for the development of the Company’s biometric wallet. Selling and marketing expenses of $317,419 related primarily to marketing consultants of $34,850 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 $103,391 and consulting fees for public relations of $141,032. 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 $84,224 and general and administrative expenses of $67,536. 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.

 

Net Loss. The net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $2,228,915, including an inducement fee in connection with warrant exercise of $1,051,128, an unrealized gain on change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $412,763 and $30,744 in interest expense from the loan to the Company from Connecticut Innovations. The unrealized gain on change in fair value of derivatives liabilities relates to 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 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. The net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was $2,090,546 including an inducement fee in connection with warrant exercise of $1,051,128. 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.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We have incurred operating losses of $1,559,806 and $1,039,418 for the six and three months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. We have incurred net losses of $2,228,915 and $2,090,546 for the six and three months ended June 30, 2014, respectively.

 

Cash and Working Capital. 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. 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 $2,228,915, positive non-cash adjustments to reconcile net loss to net cash used in operating activities of $810,380 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 non-cash adjustments to reconcile net loss to net cash used in operating activities of $80,198 and changes in operating assets and liabilities of positive $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 and was 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 did not have any investing activity.

 

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 net proceeds of $246,435 from the issuance of common stock. In addition, the Company also received the second and final tranche of a loan from Connecticut Innovations in the amount of $75,000 and it 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 $2,228,915 during the six months ended June 30, 2014, which included an aggregate $564,361 of adjustments to reconcile the Company’s net loss to net cash used in operating activities. 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.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

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 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Changes in Internal Controls

 

As of June 30, 2014, the Company carried out an evaluation by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (who 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 June 30, 2014 our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

 

As of June 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.

 

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.
