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 March 31, 2015 and for the three 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 unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2015 and the condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 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 months ended March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015 or for any future interim period. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2014 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, 2014, and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on March 6, 2015.

Note 2 - Going Concern and Management Plans
The Company is an early stage entity and incurred an operating loss of $2,047,452 and a net loss of $2,047,053 during the three months ended March 31, 2015. As of March 31, 2015 the Company had working capital and stockholders’ equity of $876,412 and $1,193,046, 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 the cash raised subsequent to March 31, 2015 or any additional funds raised will be sufficient to execute its business plan. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. 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 these conditions.
The Company’s ability to execute its business plan is dependent upon its ability to raise additional equity, secure debt financing, and/or generate revenue. Should the Company not be successful in obtaining the necessary financing, or generate sufficient revenue to fund its operations, the Company would need to curtail certain of its operational activities. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Note 3 - Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates in the Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“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 in consolidation.
Inventory
Inventory at March 31, 2015 consists 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 March 31, 2015 inventory comprised of $566,134 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 March 31, 2015, $456,938 of prepayments made primarily for raw materials inventory is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s 3D facial recognition and identification products are currently available for sale. In the latter part of March 2015, the Company began shipping on a limited basis the Mobile Bio Wocket to customers who pre-ordered the product in 2014. 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 March 31, 2015, the Company has $131,784 in customer deposits remaining in connection with pre-orders of its Mobile Bio Wocket.

Note 3 - Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Convertible Instruments
The Company applies the accounting standards for derivatives and hedging and for distinguishing liabilities from equity when accounting for hybrid contracts that feature conversion options. The accounting standards require companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments according to certain criteria. The criteria includes circumstances in which (i) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (ii) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (iii) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument.
The derivative is subsequently marked to market at each reporting date based on current fair value, with the changes in fair value reported in the results of operations.
Conversion options that contain variable settlement features such as provisions to adjust the conversion price upon subsequent issuances of equity or equity linked securities at exercise prices more favorable than that featured in the hybrid contract generally result in their bifurcation from the host instrument.
The Company accounts for convertible debt instruments when the Company has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments in accordance with ASC 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options”. The Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt. See Note 4.
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 expense included in other income and expenses in the accompanying statements of operations.
Income Taxes
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, "Income Taxes." Under this method, income tax expense is recognized for the amount of: (i) taxes payable or refundable for the current year and (ii) deferred tax consequences of temporary differences resulting from matters that have been recognized in an entity's financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if based on the weight of the available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not 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 all prior periods through December 31, 2014. As a result, the Company’s net operating loss carryovers will now be available to offset any future taxable income.

Note 3 - Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for share-based awards exchanged for employee services at the estimated grant date fair value of the award. The Company generally amortizes the employee stock-based compensation over the vesting period. 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 3,529,776 warrants as of March 31, 2015, were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. As of March 31, 2014, potentially dilutive securities realizable from the exercise of 1,396,139 warrants 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, which will 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 the Note, 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 three months ended March 31, 2014 (See Note 6) 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 first quarter of March 31, 2014.
Note 5 – Derivative liabilities
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) did not have fixed settlement provisions on their respective issuance dates as the conversion and exercises prices could have been lowered if the Company would have issued securities at lower prices.

Note 5 – Derivative liabilities (continued)
During 2014, 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 | % | 0.10 | % | 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 stock has not been publicly traded for a sufficiently long period of time, the Company is utilizing an expected volatility figure based on a review of the historical volatilities, over a period of time, equivalent to the expected life of the instrument being valued, of similarly positioned public companies within its industry. The expected life of the conversion feature was determined by the maturity date of the Note and the expected life of the warrants was determined by their expiration dates. The expected dividend yield was based upon the fact that the Company has not historically paid dividends on its common stock, and does not expect to pay dividends on its common stock in the future.
Fair Value Measurement
The carrying amounts of cash, inventory, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to their short maturities. The Company’s other financial instruments include its convertible notes payable obligations. The carrying value of these instruments approximate fair value, as they bear terms and conditions comparable to market, for obligations with similar terms and maturities. The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

Note 6 - Stockholders' Equity
January 2014 Private Placement
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 over-subscription 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 per share 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 was $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 of common stock to those shares of common stock 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 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 5 above.

On various dates, during the twelve months ended December 31, 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 certain number of shares of common stock in accordance with the Purchase Agreement.
Effective March 5, 2015, the Purchasers holding a majority of the securities offered in the January 2014 offering waived a provision that required certain stockholders of the Company to surrender shares of common stock proportional to the number of warrants exercised. To date, these stockholders have retired 697,054 shares of common stock which will remain in treasury.
June 2014 Private Placement
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. Pursuant to a securities purchase agreement with the June 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 June Shares and all of the shares of common stock then issued to the June Purchasers 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”).
The Registration Statement was not filed by the Filing Date or declared effective by the Required Effective Date of December 15, 2014. Under the original terms of the arrangement, the Company was 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. On January 30, 2015, the Company received signed documentation from all of the June Purchasers waiving their right to liquidated damages and terminating the registration rights agreement.
August 2014 Private Placement
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, 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 all of the shares of common stock then issued to the August Purchasers 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.

Note 6 - Stockholders' Equity (continued)
The August Registration Statement was not filed by the Filing Date or declared effective by the Required Effective Date. Under the original terms of the arrangement, the Company was 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. On January 30, 2015, the Company received signed documentation from all of the August Purchasers waiving their right to liquidated damages and terminating the registration rights agreement.
The Company determined that the effect of the issuance of the 500,000 warrants was to induce the June Purchasers and August Purchasers to exercise warrants previously issued to them in the Offering. As a result, the Company recorded inducement expense of $1,262,068 during the twelve months ended December 31, 2014.
September 2014 Public Offering

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.

As a result, on September 10, 2014, the Company issued the majority Purchasers 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 twelve months ended December 31, 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 Purchasers and the modification of the warrant exercise price, respectively.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 should be read together with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this quarterly report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements and information relating to our business that reflect our current views and assumptions with respect to future events and are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. 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 are currently pursuing: law enforcement, m-commerce, and biometric access control applications. Our initial efforts 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 have developed a secure biometric electronic smart wallet, the Wocket™, for the growing m-commerce market. We believe that the Wocket™ 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 most payment methods 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 the voice of 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 DPCs (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). We started limited shipments of the Wocket in March 2015 and will begin to scale deliveries in the second quarter.
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 deposits from pre-orders of the Wocket. 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 growth company. As noted above we have no established source of capital and we have incurred losses from operations since inception. These matters raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Results of Operations
Comparison of three months ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014
Revenue. The Company had revenues of $2,270 during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and no revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2014. We began to ship a limited number of Wockets to our early access pre-order customers.
Cost of Revenue. Our cost of revenue for these early shipments is not reflective of our expected cost of revenues as we increase the quantity of product delivered.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2015 totaled $2,047,732 and consisted of research and development expenses of $573,255, selling and marketing expenses of $658,034 and general and administrative expenses of $816,443. The research and development expenses relate primarily to salaries and consulting services of $343,239, as well as materials and prototypes of $94,621 necessary for the design, development and manufacturing of the Company’s biometric wallet. Selling and marketing expenses consisted primarily of salaries and consulting services of $162,271 and advertising and promotional expenses, including trade shows, of $334,226. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2015 consisted of salaries and consulting services of $211,158, accrued management and employee incentives of $189,625, legal, audit and accounting fees of $64,051 and consulting fees for public relations of $34,500. Also included in general and administrative expenses is $263,353 in non-cash stock compensation to employees, consultants and board members.
For the three months ended March 31, 2014, operating expenses totaled $520,388 and consisted of research and development expenses of $164,278, selling and marketing expenses of $60,184 and general and administrative expenses of $295,926. The research and development expenses primarily related to salaries and consulting services of approximately $170,998 as well as materials and prototypes of approximately $23,496 necessary for the design, development and manufacturing of the Company’s biometric wallet, and the reversal of an accrued royalty expense no longer owed by the Company in the amount of $35,000. Selling and marketing expenses consisted of $60,184 primarily for marketing consultants. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2014 consisted of salaries of $79,501, legal, audit and accounting fees of approximately $56,084 and consulting fees for public relations of approximately $80,835. Also included in general and administrative expenses is $34,000 in non-cash stock compensation to consultants and board members.
The increase in expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014, is due to an increase in research and development expenses relating to the development of the Company’s biometric wallet and improving and updating the Company’s 3D facial recognition systems, as well as an increase in advertising and promotional expenses, increased professional fees relating to consultants, increased ongoing expenses related to being publicly listed and the addition of sales and marketing related staff for sales of the Company’s product.
Net Loss. The net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $2,047,053 and resulted primarily from the operational expenses incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2015. The net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $138,369, including $30,744 in interest expense from the loan to the Company from Connecticut Innovations, Inc. and an unrealized gain on change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $412,763 that were initially recorded in connection with the issuance of a convertible note payable and warrants issued in the Company’s private placement in January 2014. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, 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 existed as of March 31, 2014.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have incurred an operating loss and a net loss of $2,047,452 and $2,047,053, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2015.
Cash and Working Capital. As of March 31, 2015 the Company had cash and stockholders’ equity of $324,238 and $1,193,046, respectively. At March 31, 2015, the Company had working capital of $876,412. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company received proceeds of $200,000 in connection with the exercise of 100,000 warrants into 100,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per share.
17 |
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 three months ended March 31, 2015, net cash used in operating activities totaled $1,885,665, which was comprised of a net loss of $2,047,053, positive non-cash adjustments to reconcile net loss to net cash used in operating activities of $298,550, and changes in operating assets and liabilities of negative $137,162, as compared to net cash used in operating activities of $763,448 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, which was comprised of a net loss of $138,369, non-cash adjustments to reconcile net loss to net cash used in operating activities of $351,587, and changes in operating assets and liabilities of $273,492.
Cash Used in Investing Activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, net cash used in investing activities totaled $191,384 and was primarily related to the purchases of equipment. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, net cash used in investing activities totaled $1,995 and was totally related to the purchase of equipment.
Cash Provided by Financing Activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company received proceeds of $200,000 in connection with the exercise of 100,000 warrants into 100,000 shares of common stock. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company received net proceeds of $799,994 from the issuance of common stock and warrants.
Sources of Liquidity. We are an early stage company and have generated losses from operations since inception. We incurred a net loss of $2,047,053 during the three months ended March 31, 2015, which included an aggregate $161,388 of adjustments to reconcile the Company’s net loss to net cash used in operating activities. As of March 31, 2015, the Company had working capital and stockholders’ equity of $876,412 and $1,193,046, 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 the cash raised subsequent to March 31, 2015, or any additional funds raised, will be sufficient to execute its business plan. Additionally, the Company can give no assurance that additional funds will be available on reasonable terms, or available at all, or that it will generate sufficient revenue to alleviate the going concern. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Subsequent Events
On April 24, 2015, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with a group of accredited investors pursuant to which the Company sold to such purchasers an aggregate of $1,575,000 principal amount of secured convertible notes (the “Convertible Notes”), a Class A Common Stock Purchase Warrant (the “Class A Warrant”) to purchase up to 468,749 shares of the Company’s common stock, and a Class B Common Stock Purchase Warrant (the “Class B Warrant”) to purchase up to 468,749 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Convertible Notes are convertible at any time, in whole or in part, at the option of the holders into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $2.52 per share. The Class A Warrant and Class B Warrant are exercisable beginning six (6) months after issuance through the fifth (5th) anniversary of such initial exercisability date. The Class A Warrant has an initial exercise price equal to $3.02 per share and the Class B Warrant has an initial exercise price equal to $5.00 per share.
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.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are not required to provide the information required by this Item since we are a smaller reporting company, as defined in rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”).
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of March 31, 2015, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation 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 March 31, 2015, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
As of March 31, 2015, we identified certain matters that constituted a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting. Specifically, we have limited segregation of duties within our accounting and financial reporting functions. Management 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 three months ended March 31, 2015, 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.
