PROXY STATEMENT FOR ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

In this Proxy Statement, Nxt-ID, Inc., a Delaware corporation, is referred to as “Nxt-ID,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our.”

Information Concerning the Proxy Materials and the Annual Meeting

Proxies in the form enclosed with this Proxy Statement are being solicited by our Board of Directors for use at our Annual Meeting of our Stockholders to be held at 9:00 a.m. (Eastern Time) on August [*], 2016, at 285 North Drive, Suite D, Melbourne, Florida 32904, and at any adjournment thereof. Your vote is very important. For this reason, our Board of Directors is requesting that you permit your common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), to be represented at the Annual Meeting by the proxies named on the enclosed proxy card. This Proxy Statement contains important information for you to consider when deciding how to vote on the matters brought before the meeting. Please read it carefully.

Voting materials, which include this Proxy Statement and the enclosed proxy card, will be first mailed to stockholders on or about July [*], 2016.

Only stockholders of record as of the close of business on July [*], 2016 (the “Record Date”) of our Common Stock will be entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting. As of July [*], 2016, 63,228,460 shares of Common Stock were issued and outstanding. Holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share held by them. Stockholders may vote in person or by proxy, however, granting a proxy does not in any way affect a stockholder’s right to attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person. Any stockholder giving a proxy has the right to revoke that proxy by (i) filing a later-dated proxy or a written notice of revocation with us at our principal office at any time before the original proxy is exercised or (ii) attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person.

Gino M. Pereira is named as attorney-in-fact in the proxy. Mr. Pereira is our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Pereira will vote all shares represented by properly executed proxies returned in time to be counted at the Annual Meeting, as described below under “Voting Procedures.” Where a vote has been specified in the proxy with respect to the matters identified in the Notice of the Annual Meeting, the shares represented by the proxy will be voted in accordance with those voting specifications. If no voting instructions are indicated, your shares will be voted as recommended by our Board on all matters, and as the proxy holders may determine in their discretion with respect to any other matters properly presented for a vote before the Annual Meeting.

The stockholders will consider and vote upon (i) a proposal to elect five (5) members of our Board of Directors, each to serve until the 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until their successors are elected and qualified or until their earlier resignation or removal (“Proposal No. 1”); (ii) a proposal to ratify the Board’s selection of Marcum LLP as our independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016 (“Proposal No. 2”); (iii) a proposal to give the Company’s Board the authority to effect a reverse stock split of all of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, from 1-for-5 to 1-for-15, with the exact exchange ratio to be determined by the Board in its sole discretion, by filing an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) at any time before September 30, 2016 (“Proposal No. 3”); (iv) a proposal to approve the issuance of securities in one or more non-public offerings where the maximum discount at which securities will be offered will be equivalent to a discount of 25% below market price of our common stock in accordance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635(d) (“Proposal No. 4”); (v) a proposal to approve the issuance of an aggregate of up to 3,125,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in accordance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635(d) (“Proposal No. 5”), and (vi) a proposal to approve the issuance of an aggregate of 4,500,000 shares of the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase 5,625,000 shares of Common Stock, in accordance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635(d) (“Proposal No. 6”) . Stockholders also will consider and act upon such other business as may properly come before the Annual Meeting.

Voting Procedures and Vote Required

Mr. Pereira will vote all shares represented by properly executed proxies returned in time to be counted at the Annual Meeting. The presence, in person or by proxy, of at least a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is necessary to establish a quorum for the transaction of business. Shares represented by proxies which contain an abstention, as well as “broker non-vote” shares (described below), are counted as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum for the Annual Meeting.

All properly executed proxies delivered pursuant to this solicitation and not revoked will be voted at the Annual Meeting as specified in such proxies.

Vote Required for Election of Directors (Proposal No. 1). Our Certificate of Incorporation does not authorize cumulative voting. Delaware law and our Bylaws provide that directors are to be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. This means that the five (5) candidates receiving the highest number of affirmative votes at the Annual Meeting will be elected as directors. Only shares that are voted in favor of a particular nominee will be counted toward that nominee’s achievement of a plurality. Shares present at the Annual Meeting that are not voted for a particular nominee or shares present by proxy where the stockholder properly withheld authority to vote for such nominee will not be counted toward that nominee’s achievement of a plurality.

Vote Required for Ratification of Auditors (Proposal No. 2). Delaware law and our Bylaws provide that, on all matters (other than the election of directors and except to the extent otherwise required by our Certificate of Incorporation, or applicable Delaware law), the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present, in person or by proxy, and voting on the matter, will be required for approval. Accordingly, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present at the Annual Meeting, in person or by proxy, and voting on the matter, will be required to ratify the Board’s selection of Marcum LLP as our independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016.

Vote Required for the Reverse Stock Split (Proposal No. 3). Delaware law and our Bylaws provide that the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of our Common Stock is required to approve the amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to give effect to the reverse stock split. Abstentions with respect to Proposal 3 will be treated as shares that are present or represented at the Annual Meeting, but will not be counted in favor of Proposal 3. Accordingly, an abstention with respect to Proposal 3 will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” Proposal 3.

Vote Required for the issuance of securities in one or more non-public offerings where the maximum discount at which securities will be offered will be equivalent to a discount of 25% below market price of our common stock in accordance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635(d) (Proposal No. 4). Delaware law and our Bylaws provide that, on all matters (other than the election of directors and except to the extent otherwise required by our Certificate of Incorporation, or applicable Delaware law), the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present, in person or by proxy, and voting on the matter, will be required for approval. Accordingly, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present at the Annual Meeting, in person or by proxy, and voting on the matter, will be required to approve the issuance of securities in one or more non-public offerings where the maximum discount at which securities will be offered will be equivalent to a discount of 25% below market price of our common stock in accordance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635(d).

Vote Required for the issuance of an aggregate of up to 3,125,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, in accordance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635(d) (Proposal No. 5). Delaware law and our Bylaws provide that, on all matters (other than the election of directors and except to the extent otherwise required by our Certificate of Incorporation, or applicable Delaware law), the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present, in person or by proxy, and voting on the matter, will be required for approval. Accordingly, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present at the Annual Meeting, in person or by proxy, and voting on the matter, will be required to approve the issuance of an aggregate of up to 3,125,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in accordance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635(d).

Vote Required for the issuance of an aggregate of 4,500,000 shares of the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, and warrants to purchase 5,625,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, in accordance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635(d) (Proposal No. 6). Delaware law and our Bylaws provide that, on all matters (other than the election of directors and except to the extent otherwise required by our Certificate of Incorporation, or applicable Delaware law), the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present, in person or by proxy, and voting on the matter, will be required for approval. Accordingly, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present at the Annual Meeting, in person or by proxy, and voting on the matter, will be required to approve the issuance of an aggregate of 4,500,000 shares of the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, and warrants to purchase 5,625,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, in accordance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635(d).

If you hold shares beneficially in street name and do not provide your broker with voting instructions, your shares may constitute “broker non-votes.” Generally, broker non-votes occur on a matter when a broker is not permitted to vote on that matter without instructions from the beneficial owner and instructions are not given. Brokers that have not received voting instructions from their clients cannot vote on their clients’ behalf on “non-routine” proposals. Broker non-votes are not counted in tabulating the voting result for any particular proposal and shares that constitute broker non-votes are not considered entitled to vote. The vote on Proposals 1, 3, 4, 5, and 6 are considered “non-routine” and the vote on Proposal 2 is considered “routine”.

Abstentions are counted as “shares present” at the Annual Meeting for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum but are counted as “Against” in the calculation of the vote.

Votes at the meeting will be tabulated by one or more inspectors of election appointed by the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

Stockholders will not be entitled to dissenter’s rights with respect to any matter to be considered at the Annual Meeting.

Delivery of Documents to Security Holders Sharing an Address

We will send only one set of Annual Meeting materials and other corporate mailings to stockholders who share a single address unless we received contrary instructions from any stockholder at that address. This practice, known as “householding,” is designed to reduce our printing and postage costs. However, the Company will deliver promptly upon written or oral request a separate copy of the Annual Meeting materials to a stockholder at a shared address to which a single copy of the Annual Meeting materials was delivered. You may make such a written or oral request by (a) sending a written notification stating (i) your name, (ii) your shared address and (iii) the address to which the Company should direct the additional copy of the Annual Meeting materials, to the Company at Corporate Secretary, 285 North Drive, Suite D, Melbourne, FL 32934, telephone: (203) 266-2103.

If multiple stockholders sharing an address have received one copy of the Annual Meeting materials or any other corporate mailing and would prefer the Company to mail each stockholder a separate copy of future mailings, you may send notification to or call the Company’s principal executive offices. Additionally, if current stockholders with a shared address received multiple copies of the Annual Meeting materials or other corporate mailings and would prefer the Company to mail one copy of future mailings to stockholders at the shared address, notification of such request may also be made by mail or telephone to the Company’s principal executive offices.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth certain information regarding the beneficial ownership of our Common Stock as of July [*], 2016, by (a) each stockholder who is known to us to own beneficially 5% or more of our outstanding Common Stock; (b) all directors; (c) our executive officers, and (d) all executive officers and directors as a group. Except as otherwise indicated, all persons listed below have (i) sole voting power and investment power with respect to their shares of Common Stock, except to the extent that authority is shared by spouses under applicable law, and (ii) record and beneficial ownership with respect to their shares of Common Stock.

For purposes of this table, a person or group of persons is deemed to have “beneficial ownership” of any shares of Common Stock that such person has the right to acquire within sixty (60) days of July [*], 2016. For purposes of computing the percentage of outstanding shares of our Common Stock held by each person or group of persons named above, any shares that such person or persons has the right to acquire within sixty (60) days of July [*], 2016, is deemed to be outstanding, but is not deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

(Proposal No. 1)

The following individuals have been nominated as members of our Board of Directors, each to serve until the 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, until their successors are elected and qualified or until their earlier resignation or removal. Pursuant to Delaware law and our Bylaws, directors are to be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. This means that the five (5) candidates receiving the highest number of affirmative votes at the Annual Meeting will be elected as directors. Only shares that are voted in favor of a particular nominee will be counted toward that nominee’s achievement of a plurality. Proxies cannot be voted for a greater number of persons than the number of nominees named or for persons other than the named nominees.

Following is information about each nominee, including biographical data for at least the last five (5) years. Should one or more of these nominees become unavailable to accept nomination or election as a director, the individuals named as proxies on the enclosed proxy card will vote the shares that they represent for the election of such other persons as the Board may recommend, unless the Board reduces the number of directors. We have no reason to believe that any nominee will be unable or unwilling to serve if elected as a director.

Required Vote

Our Certificate of Incorporation does not authorize cumulative voting. Delaware law and our Bylaws provide that directors are to be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. This means that the five (5) candidates receiving the highest number of affirmative votes at the Annual Meeting will be elected as directors. Only shares that are voted in favor of a particular nominee will be counted toward that nominee’s achievement of a plurality. Shares present at the Annual Meeting that are not voted for a particular nominee or shares present by proxy where the stockholder properly withheld authority to vote for such nominee will not be counted toward that nominee’s achievement of a plurality.

At the Annual Meeting a vote will be taken on a proposal to approve the election of the five (5) director nominees.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS

A VOTE FOR THE ELECTION OF THE FIVE (5) DIRECTOR NOMINEES.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Board of Directors

The Board oversees our business affairs and monitors the performance of our management. In accordance with our corporate governance principles, the Board does not involve itself in day-to-day operations. The directors keep themselves informed through discussions with the Chief Executive Officer, other key executives and by reading the reports and other materials sent to them and by participating in Board and committee meetings. Our directors hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors are elected and qualified or until their earlier resignation or removal, or if for some other reason they are unable to serve in the capacity of director.

Director Independence

Our board of directors currently consists of five (5) members: Gino M. Pereira; Major General David R. Gust USA, Ret.; Michael J. D’Almada-Remedios, PhD; Daniel P. Sharkey; and Stanley W. Washington. All of our directors will serve until our next annual meeting and until their successors are duly elected and qualified.

As we are listed on NASDAQ, our determination of independence of directors is made using the definition of “independent director” contained in Rule 5605(a)(2) of the Marketplace Rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market.

Leadership Structure of the Board

The Board of Directors does not currently have a policy on whether the same person should serve as both the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board or, if the roles are separate, whether the Chairman should be selected from the non-employee directors or should be an employee. The Board believes that it should have the flexibility to make these determinations at any given point in time in the way that it believes best to provide appropriate leadership for the Company at that time. Our current Chairman of the Board, Gino M. Pereira, also serves as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.

Risk Oversight

The Board and our management oversee risk management directly. Management is responsible for implementing the risk management strategy and developing policies, controls, processes and procedures to identify and manage risks.

EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Compensation Principles

We believe the top growing companies design their compensation program to attract, motivate, and retain highly talented individuals to drive business success. We further believe that the ideal programs tend to be principle-based rather than rules-based with such best practices compensation programs providing for the opportunity for executives and other key employees to achieve significant compensation upon the realization of objectives that clearly benefit a company and its stockholders. The Company believes that best-practices plan will reflect the following principles:

(1) Compensation should be related to performance

A proper compensation program should reinforce our Company’s business and financial objectives. Employee compensation will vary based on Company versus individual performance. When the Company performs well against the objectives that the Board will set, employees will receive greater incentive compensation. To the extent the business does not achieve or meet these objectives, incentive awards will be reduced or eliminated. An employee’s individual compensation will also vary based on his or her performance, contribution, and overall value to the business. Employees with sustained high performance should be rewarded more than those in similar positions with lesser performance.

(2) Our employees should think like stockholders

The second critical principle of our compensation programs should be to foster an environment where our employees should act in the interests of the Company’s stockholders. We believe that the best way to encourage them to do that is through an equity interest in their company. Equity interest in a company can be achieved in several respects: the establishment of equity incentive plans that provide for the granting of equity-based awards, such as stock options, and/or restricted stock or performance share units to employees. This requires the establishment of an omnibus long-term stock-based incentive plan, which LTIP was approved and adopted by our Board and stockholders. While this plan also provides for traditional stock options, we believe that options should not form the dominant focus of a proper incentive plan and that performance share units or performance vesting restricted stock grants represent a preferred form of equity incentive. The philosophy behind such a structure is that as employees earn more stock (as opposed to options) they will think more like stockholders. Put another way, when all employees become owners, the thing and behave like owners.

(3) Incentive compensation should be a greater part of total compensation for more senior positions

The proportion of an individual’s total compensation that varies with individual and Company performance objectives should increase as the individual’s business responsibilities increase. Thus, cash bonuses and LTIP-based compensation should form the overwhelmingly dominant portion of overall compensation for the Company’s senior employees and the milestones for payouts on those plans for our senior employees are based entirely on corporate results.

Pursuant to Section 102 of the JOBS Act, we have provided reduced executive compensation disclosure.

In addition, Dr. Remedios recused himself from any involvement or voting in the transaction between World Ventures and the Company other than provide input at a technical level.

Stanley E. Washington is a director of the Company and the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Pantheon Business Consulting (“PBC”). PBC was engaged by the Company as a business consultant pursuant to an engagement letter, dated October 5, 2015 (the “Engagement Letter”).

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

The following Report of the Audit Committee (the “Audit Report”) does not constitute soliciting material and should not be deemed filed or incorporated by reference into any other Company filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, except to the extent the Company specifically incorporates this Audit Report by reference therein.

Role of the Audit Committee

The Audit Committee’s primary responsibilities fall into three broad categories:

First, the Audit Committee is charged with monitoring the preparation of quarterly and annual financial reports by the Company’s management, including discussions with management and the Company’s outside auditors about draft annual financial statements and key accounting and reporting matters;

Second, the Audit Committee is responsible for matters concerning the relationship between the Company and its outside auditors, including recommending their appointment or removal; reviewing the scope of their audit services and related fees, as well as any other services being provided to the Company; and determining whether the outside auditors are independent (based in part on the annual letter provided to the Company pursuant to Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1); and

Third, the Audit Committee reviews financial reporting, policies, procedures, and internal controls of the Company.

The Audit Committee has implemented procedures to ensure that during the course of each fiscal year it devotes the attention that it deems necessary or appropriate to each of the matters assigned to it under the Audit Committee’s charter. In overseeing the preparation of the Company’s financial statements, the Audit Committee met with management and the Company’s outside auditors, including meetings with the Company’s outside auditors without management present, to review and discuss all financial statements prior to their issuance and to discuss significant accounting issues. Management advised the Audit Committee that all financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and the Audit Committee discussed the statements with both management and the outside auditors. The Audit Committee’s review included discussion with the outside auditors of matters required to be discussed pursuant to Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 (Communication with Audit Committees).

With respect to the Company’s outside auditors, the Audit Committee, among other things, discussed with KPMG LLP matters relating to its independence, including the disclosures made to the Audit Committee as required by the Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees).

Recommendations of the Audit Committee. In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the Board approve the inclusion of the Company’s audited financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, for filing with the SEC.

This report has been furnished by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.

RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

(Proposal No. 2)

KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) served as our independent auditors from October 30, 2014 to April 21, 2016. Effective April 21, 2016, Marcum LLP (“Marcum”), was appointed by the Board of Directors as our independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016. The decision to appoint Marcum as the new registered public accounting firm was approved by the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. Marcum has previously served as the Company’s registered public accounting firm from March 24, 2012 through October 8, 2014, at which time it resigned as it had concluded that it was not independent of the Company with respect to the Company’s quarterly period ended June 30, 2014 as a result of the provision of personal tax services to an executive officer of the Company during such period.

At the Annual Meeting, the stockholders will vote on a proposal to ratify this selection of the auditors. If this ratification is not approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present at the Annual Meeting, in person or by proxy, and voting on the matter, the Board will reconsider its selection of auditors.

Marcum has no interest, financial or otherwise, in our Company.

PROPOSAL TO AUTHORIZE THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO AMEND THE COMPANY’S CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION, TO EFFECT A REVERSE SPLIT OF OUR OUTSTANDING COMMON STOCK AT THEIR DISCRETION
(Proposal No. 3)

Summary

Our Board of Directors has unanimously approved a proposal to effect a reverse split of all of our outstanding shares of Common Stock by a ratio in the range of 1-for-5 to 1-for-15. The proposal provides that our Board of Directors shall have sole discretion pursuant to Section 242(c) of the Delaware General Corporation Law to elect, as it determines to be in the Company’s best interests, whether or not to effect the reverse stock split before September 30, 2016, or to abandon it. Should the Board of Directors proceed with a reverse stock split, the exact ratio shall be set at a whole number within the above range as determined by our Board of Directors in its sole discretion. Our Board of Directors believes that the availability of alternative reverse stock split ratios will provide it with the flexibility to implement the reverse stock split in a manner designed to maximize the anticipated benefits for the Company and its stockholders. In determining whether to implement the reverse split following the receipt of stockholder approval, our Board of Directors may consider, among other things, factors such as:

	●	the historical trading price and trading volume of our Common Stock;
	●	the then prevailing trading price and trading volume of our Common Stock and the anticipated impact of the reverse split on the trading market for our Common Stock;
	●	our ability to have our shares of Common Stock remain listed on The NASDAQ Capital Market;
	●	the anticipated impact of the reverse split on our ability to raise additional financing; and
	●	prevailing general market and economic conditions.

If our Board determines that effecting the reverse stock split is in our best interests, the reverse stock split will become effective upon filing of an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The amendment filed thereby will set forth the number of shares to be combined into one share of our Common Stock within the limits set forth in this proposal. Except for adjustments that may result from the treatment of fractional shares as described below, each stockholder will hold the same percentage of our outstanding Common Stock immediately following the reverse stock split as such stockholder holds immediately prior to the reverse split.

The text of the form of amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation, which would be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect the reverse stock split, is set forth in Appendix D to this proxy statement. The text of the form of amendment accompanying this proxy statement is, however, subject to amendment to reflect the exact ratio for the reverse stock split and any changes that may be required by the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or that the Board of Directors may determine to be necessary or advisable ultimately to comply with applicable law and to effect the reverse stock split.

Our Board of Directors believes that approval of the amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to effect the reverse stock split is in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders and has unanimously recommended that the proposed amendment be presented to our stockholders for approval.

Effective Date

If the proposed amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to give effect to the reverse stock split is approved at the Meeting and the Board of Directors determines to effect the reverse stock split, the reverse stock split will become effective as of 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the effective date of the certificate of amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation with the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, which we would expect to be the date of filing. We refer to this time and date as the “Effective Date.” Except as explained below with respect to fractional shares, each issued share of Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Date will automatically be changed, as of the Effective Date, into a fraction of a share of Common Stock based on the exchange ratio within the approved range determined by the Board of Directors.

Purpose of the Reverse Stock Split

The Board of Directors believes that a reverse stock split is desirable for two reasons. First, a reverse stock split is necessary to maintain the listing of our Common Stock on The NASDAQ Capital Market. Second, the Board of Directors believes that a reverse stock split could improve the marketability and liquidity of the Common Stock.

Maintain our listing on The NASDAQ Capital Market. Our Common Stock is traded on The NASDAQ Capital Market. On November 30, 2015, the Company was notified by NASDAQ that it no longer satisfied the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing, of $1.00 per share, as set forth in NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The Company was granted a 180-day grace period, or until May 31, 2016, regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement of $1.00 per share, as set forth in NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).

On June 1, 2016, the Company received a determination letter (the “Letter”) from the staff of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC stating that the Company has not regained compliance with The NASDAQ Capital Market minimum bid price of $1.00 requirement for continued listing set forth in NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The Letter also stated that the Company was not eligible for an additional 180-day extension to regain compliance with the minimum bid price rule because the Company does not meet the minimum stockholders’ equity initial listing requirement for The NASDAQ Capital Market.

Pursuant to the Letter, unless the Company requested a hearing to appeal this determination by June 8, 2016, the Company’s common stock will be delisted from The NASDAQ Capital Market, trading of the Company’s common stock will be suspended at the opening of business on June 10, 2016, and a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which will remove the Company’s securities from listing and registration on The NASDAQ Capital Market.

On June 7, 2016, the Company requested a hearing before the NASDAQ Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) to appeal the Letter. The Company will be asked to provide the Panel with a plan to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement of Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The Company’s plan will need to include a discussion of the events that the Company believes will enable it to timely regain compliance with such requirement. The Company plans to submit a plan that it believes will be sufficient to permit the Company to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. The Company’s hearing before the Panel is scheduled for July 21, 2016.

While the appeal process is pending, the suspension of trading of the Company’s common stock is stayed, and the Company’s common stock will continue to trade on The NASDAQ Capital Market until the hearing process concludes and the Panel issues a written decision.

The Board of Directors has considered the potential harm to the Company and its stockholders should NASDAQ delist our Common Stock from The NASDAQ Capital Market. Delisting could adversely affect the liquidity of our Common Stock because alternatives, such as the OTC Bulletin Board and the pink sheets, are generally considered to be less efficient markets. An investor likely would find it less convenient to sell, or to obtain accurate quotations in seeking to buy our Common Stock on an over-the-counter market. Many investors likely would not buy or sell our Common Stock due to difficulty in accessing over-the-counter markets, policies preventing them from trading in securities not listed on a national exchange or other reasons. The Board of Directors believes that a reverse stock split is a potentially effective means for us to maintain compliance with the rules of NASDAQ and to avoid, or at least mitigate, the likely adverse consequences of our Common Stock being delisted from The NASDAQ Capital Market by producing the immediate effect of increasing the bid price of our Common Stock.

Improve the marketability and liquidity of the Common Stock. We also believe that the increased market price of our Common Stock expected as a result of implementing the reverse stock split will improve the marketability and liquidity of our Common Stock and will encourage interest and trading in our Common Stock. A reverse stock split could allow a broader range of institutions to invest in our stock (namely, funds that are prohibited from buying stocks whose price is below a certain threshold), potentially increasing the liquidity of our Common Stock. A reverse stock split could help increase analyst and broker interest in our stock as their policies can discourage them from following or recommending companies with low stock prices. Because of the trading volatility often associated with low-priced stocks, many brokerage houses and institutional investors have internal policies and practices that either prohibit them from investing in low-priced stocks or tend to discourage individual brokers from recommending low-priced stocks to their customers. Some of those policies and practices may function to make the processing of trades in low-priced stocks economically unattractive to brokers. Additionally, because brokers’ commissions on low-priced stocks generally represent a higher percentage of the stock price than commissions on higher-priced stocks, the current average price per share of our Common Stock can result in individual stockholders paying transaction costs representing a higher percentage of their total share value than would be the case if the share price were substantially higher. It should be noted, however, that the liquidity of our Common Stock may in fact be adversely affected by the proposed reverse stock split given the reduced number of shares that would be outstanding after the reverse stock split.

For the above reasons, we believe that providing the Board of Directors with the ability to effect the reverse stock split will help us regain and maintain compliance with the NASDAQ listing requirements and could improve the marketability and liquidity of our Common Stock, and is therefore in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders. However, the Board of Directors reserves its right to abandon the reverse stock split if it determines, in its sole discretion, that it would no longer be in our and our stockholders’ best interests.

Risks of the Proposed Reverse Stock Split

We cannot assure you that the proposed reverse stock split will increase our stock price and have the desired effect of maintaining compliance with the rules of NASDAQ. The Board of Directors expects that a reverse stock split of our Common Stock will increase the market price of our Common Stock so that we are able to regain and maintain compliance with NASDAQ minimum bid price listing standard. However, the effect of a reverse stock split upon the market price of our Common Stock cannot be predicted with any certainty, and the history of similar reverse stock splits for companies in like circumstances is varied. Under applicable NASDAQ rules, in order to regain compliance with the $1.00 minimum closing bid price requirement and maintain our listing on The NASDAQ Capital Market, the $1.00 closing bid price must be maintained for a minimum of ten (10) consecutive business days. In determining whether to monitor bid price beyond ten business days, NASDAQ will consider the following four factors: (1) margin of compliance (the amount by which the price is above the $1.00 minimum standard); (2) trading volume (a lack of trading volume may indicate a lack of bona fide market interest in the security at the posted bid price); (3) the market maker montage (the number of market makers quoting at or above $1.00 and the size of their quotes); and (4) the trend of the stock price. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain our NASDAQ listing after the reverse stock split is effected or that the market price per share after the reverse stock split will exceed or remain in excess of the $1.00 minimum bid price for a sustained period of time.

It is possible that the per share price of our Common Stock after the reverse stock split will not rise in proportion to the reduction in the number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding resulting from the reverse stock split, and the market price per post-reverse stock split share may not exceed or remain in excess of the $1.00 minimum bid price for a sustained period of time, and the reverse stock split may not result in a per share price that would attract brokers and investors who do not trade in lower priced stocks. Even if we effect a reverse stock split, the market price of our Common Stock may decrease due to factors unrelated to the stock split. In any case, the market price of our Common Stock may also be based on other factors which may be unrelated to the number of shares outstanding, including our future performance. If the reverse stock split is consummated and the trading price of the Common Stock declines, the percentage decline as an absolute number and as a percentage of our overall market capitalization may be greater than would occur in the absence of the reverse stock split. Even if the market price per post-reverse stock split share of our Common Stock remains in excess of $1.00 per share, we may be delisted due to a failure to meet other continued listing requirements, including NASDAQ requirements related to the minimum stockholder's equity, the minimum number of shares that must be in the public float, the minimum market value of the public float and the minimum number of round lot holders.

The proposed reverse stock split may decrease the liquidity of our stock. The liquidity of our Common Stock may be harmed by the proposed reverse stock split given the reduced number of shares that would be outstanding after the reverse stock split, particularly if the stock price does not increase as a result of the reverse stock split. In addition, investors might consider the increased proportion of unissued authorized shares to issued shares to have an anti-takeover effect under certain circumstances, because the proportion allows for dilutive issuances which could prevent certain stockholders from changing the composition of the Board of Directors or render tender offers for a combination with another entity more difficult to successfully complete. The Board of Directors does not intend for the reverse stock split to have any anti-takeover effects.

Principal Effects of the Reverse Stock Split

Common Stock. If this proposal is approved by the stockholders at the Meeting and the Board of Directors determines to effect the reverse stock split and thus amend the Certificate of Incorporation, the Company will file a certificate of amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. Except for adjustments that may result from the treatment of fractional shares as described below, each issued share of Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Date will automatically be changed, as of the Effective Date, into a fraction of a share of Common Stock based on the exchange ratio within the approved range determined by the Board of Directors. In addition, proportional adjustments will be made to the maximum number of shares issuable under, and other terms of, our stock plans, as well as to the number of shares issuable under, and the exercise price of, our outstanding options and warrants.

Except for adjustments that may result from the treatment of fractional shares as described below, because the reverse stock split would apply to all issued shares of our Common Stock, the proposed reverse stock split would not alter the relative rights and preferences of existing stockholders nor affect any stockholder’s proportionate equity interest in the Company. For example, a holder of 2% of the voting power of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock immediately prior to the effectiveness of the reverse stock split will generally continue to hold 2% of the voting power of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock immediately after the reverse stock split. Moreover, the number of stockholders of record will not be affected by the reverse stock split.

Effect on Convertible or Exchangeable Securities. Based upon the reverse stock split ratio determined by the Board, proportionate adjustments are generally required to be made to the per share exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon the exercise or conversion of outstanding options, and any convertible or exchangeable securities entitling the holders to purchase, exchange for, or convert into, shares of Common Stock. This would result in approximately the same aggregate price being required to be paid under such options, and convertible or exchangeable securities upon exercise, and approximately the same value of shares of Common Stock being delivered upon such exercise, exchange or conversion, immediately following the reverse stock split as was the case immediately preceding the reverse stock split. The number of shares subject to restricted stock awards and restricted stock units will be similarly adjusted, subject to our treatment of fractional shares. The number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to these securities and our Plans will be adjusted proportionately based upon the reverse stock split ratio determined by the Board, subject to our treatment of fractional shares.

Listing. Our shares of Common Stock currently trade on The NASDAQ Capital Market. The reverse stock split will not directly affect the listing of our Common Stock on The NASDAQ Capital Market, although we believe that a reverse stock split could potentially increase our stock price, facilitating compliance with NASDAQ's minimum bid price listing requirement. Following the reverse stock split, our Common Stock may continue to be listed on The NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “NXTD” although our Common Stock would have a new committee on uniform securities identification procedures (“CUSIP”) number, a number used to identify our Common Stock.

“Public Company” Status. Our Common Stock is currently registered under Section 12(b) and 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and we are subject to the “public company” periodic reporting and other requirements of the Exchange Act. The proposed reverse stock split will not affect our status as a public company or this registration under the Exchange Act. The reverse stock split is not intended as, and will not have the effect of, a “going private transaction” covered by Rule 13e-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Odd Lot Transactions. It is likely that some of our stockholders will own “odd-lots” of less than 100 shares following a reverse stock split. A purchase or sale of less than 100 shares (an “odd lot” transaction) may result in incrementally higher trading costs through certain brokers, particularly “full service” brokers, and generally may be more difficult than a “round lot” sale. Therefore, those stockholders who own less than 100 shares following a reverse stock split may be required to pay somewhat higher transaction costs and may experience some difficulties or delays should they then determine to sell their shares of Common Stock.

Authorized but Unissued Shares; Potential Anti-Takeover Effects. Our Certificate of Incorporation presently authorizes 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The reverse stock split would not change the number of authorized shares of the Common Stock or preferred stock as designated. Therefore, because the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock would decrease, the number of shares remaining available for issuance by us in the future would increase.

These additional shares would be available for issuance from time to time for corporate purposes such as issuances of Common Stock in connection with capital-raising transactions and acquisitions of companies or other assets, as well as for issuance upon conversion or exercise of securities such as convertible preferred stock, convertible debt, warrants or options convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock. We believe that the availability of the additional shares will provide us with the flexibility to meet business needs as they arise, to take advantage of favorable opportunities and to respond effectively in a changing corporate environment. For example, we may elect to issue shares of Common Stock to raise equity capital, to make acquisitions through the use of stock, to establish strategic relationships with other companies, to adopt additional employee benefit plans or reserve additional shares for issuance under such plans, where the Board of Directors determines it advisable to do so, without the necessity of soliciting further stockholder approval, subject to applicable stockholder vote requirements under Delaware General Corporation Law and the NASDAQ rules. If we issue additional shares for any of these purposes, the aggregate ownership interest of our current stockholders, and the interest of each such existing stockholder, would be diluted, possibly substantially.

The additional shares of our Common Stock that would become available for issuance upon an effective reverse stock split could also be used by us to oppose a hostile takeover attempt or delay or prevent a change of control or changes in or removal of our management, including any transaction that may be favored by a majority of our stockholders or in which our stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over then-current market prices or benefit in some other manner. Although the increased proportion of authorized but unissued shares to issued shares could, under certain circumstances, have an anti-takeover effect, the reverse stock split is not being proposed in order to respond to a hostile takeover attempt or to an attempt to obtain control of the Company.

Board Discretion to Implement or Abandon Reverse Stock Split

The reverse stock split will be effected, if at all, only upon a determination by our Board of Directors that the reverse stock split (with an exchange ratio determined by our Board as described above) is in the Company’s best interest. Such determination shall be based upon certain factors, including, but not limited to, the historical trading price and trading volume of our Common Stock, the then prevailing trading price and trading volume of our Common Stock and the anticipated impact of the reverse split on the trading market for our Common Stock, our ability to have our shares of Common Stock remain listed on The NASDAQ Capital Market, the anticipated impact of the reverse split on our ability to raise additional financing; and prevailing general market and economic conditions. No further action on the part of stockholders would be required to either implement or abandon the reverse stock split. If the stockholders approve the proposal, and the Board of Directors determines to effect the reverse stock split, we would communicate to the public, prior to the Effective Date, additional details regarding the reverse split, including the specific ratio selected by the Board of Directors. If the Board of Directors does not implement the reverse stock split prior to September 30, 2016, the authority granted in this proposal to implement the reverse stock split will terminate. The Board of Directors reserves its right to elect not to proceed with the reverse stock split if it determines, in its sole discretion, that this proposal is no longer in the Company’s best interests.

Fractional Shares

We will not issue fractional certificates for post-Reverse Stock Split shares in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. To the extent any holders of pre-Reverse Stock Split shares are entitled to fractional shares as a result of the Reverse Stock Split, the Company will issue an additional share to all holders of fractional shares.

No Dissenters’ Rights

Under Delaware law, our stockholders would not be entitled to dissenters’ rights or rights of appraisal in connection with the implementation of the reverse stock split, and we will not independently provide our stockholders with any such rights.

Certain United States Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following is a summary of certain United States federal income tax consequences of the reverse stock split. It does not address any state, local or foreign income or other tax consequences, which, depending upon the jurisdiction and the status of the stockholder/taxpayer, may vary from the United States federal income tax consequences. It applies to you only if you held pre-reverse stock split Common Stock as capital assets for United States federal income tax purposes. This discussion does not apply to you if you are a member of a class of holders subject to special rules, such as (a) a dealer in securities or currencies, (b) a trader in securities that elects to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for your securities holdings, (c) a bank, (d) a life insurance company, (e) a tax-exempt organization, (f) a person that owns shares of Common Stock that are a hedge, or that are hedged, against interest rate risks, (g) a person who owns shares of Common Stock as part of a straddle or conversion transaction for tax purposes or (h) a person whose functional currency for tax purposes is not the U.S. dollar. The discussion is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), its legislative history, existing, temporary and proposed regulations under the Internal Revenue Code, published rulings and court decisions, all as of the date hereof. These laws, regulations and other guidance are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis. We have not sought and will not seek an opinion of counsel or a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service regarding the United States federal income tax consequences of a reverse stock split.

PLEASE CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISOR CONCERNING THE CONSEQUENCES OF THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT IN YOUR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES UNDER THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE AND THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER TAXING JURISDICTION.

Tax Consequences to United States Holders of Common Stock. A United States holder, as used herein, is a stockholder who or that is, for United States federal income tax purposes: (a) a citizen or individual resident of the United States, (b) a domestic corporation, (c) an estate whose income is subject to United States federal income tax regardless of its source, or (d) a trust, if a United States court can exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more United States persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust. This discussion applies only to United States holders.

Except for adjustments that may result from the treatment of fractional shares as described above, no gain or loss should be recognized by a stockholder upon such stockholder’s exchange of pre-reverse stock split shares for post-reverse stock split shares pursuant to the reverse stock split, and the aggregate adjusted basis of the post-reverse stock split shares of Common Stock received will be the same as the aggregate adjusted basis of the Common Stock exchanged for such new shares. The stockholder’s holding period for the post-reverse stock split shares will include the period during which the stockholder held the pre-reverse stock split shares surrendered.

Accounting Consequences

Following the Effective Date of the reverse stock split, if any, the net income or loss and net book value per share of Common Stock will be increased because there will be fewer shares of the Common Stock outstanding. We do not anticipate that any other accounting consequences would arise as a result of the reverse stock split.

Exchange of Stock Certificates

As of the Effective Date, each certificate representing shares of our Common Stock outstanding before the reverse stock split will be deemed, for all corporate purposes, to evidence ownership of the reduced number of shares of our Common Stock resulting from the reverse stock split. All shares underlying options, warrants and other securities exchangeable or exercisable for or convertible into Common Stock also automatically will be adjusted on the Effective Date.

Our transfer agent, VStock Transfer, LLC, will act as the exchange agent for purposes of exchanging stock certificates subsequent to the reverse stock split. Shortly after the Effective Date, stockholders of record will receive written instructions requesting them to complete and return a letter of transmittal and surrender their old stock certificates for new stock certificates reflecting the adjusted number of shares as a result of the reverse stock split. Certificates representing shares of Common Stock issued in connection with the reverse stock split will continue to bear the same restrictive legends, if any, that were borne by the surrendered certificates representing the shares of Common Stock outstanding prior to the reverse stock split. No new certificates will be issued until such stockholder has surrendered any outstanding certificates, together with the properly completed and executed letter of transmittal, to the exchange agent. Until surrendered, each certificate representing shares of Common Stock outstanding before the reverse stock split would continue to be valid and would represent the adjusted number of shares, based on the ratio of the reverse stock split.

Any stockholder whose stock certificates are lost, destroyed or stolen will be entitled to a new certificate or certificates representing post-reverse stock split shares upon compliance with the requirements that we and our transfer agent customarily apply in connection with lost, destroyed or stolen certificates. Instructions as to lost, destroyed or stolen certificates will be included in the letter of instructions from the exchange agent.

Upon the reverse stock split, we intend to treat stockholders holding our Common Stock in “street name”, through a bank, broker or other nominee, in the same manner as registered stockholders whose shares are registered in their names. Banks, brokers and other nominees will be instructed to effect the reverse stock split for their beneficial holders holding our Common Stock in “street name.” However, such banks, brokers and other nominees may have different procedures than registered stockholders for processing the reverse stock split. If you hold your shares in “street name” with a bank, broker or other nominee, and if you have any questions in this regard, we encourage you to contact your bank, broker or nominee.

YOU SHOULD NOT DESTROY YOUR STOCK CERTIFICATES AND YOU SHOULD NOT SEND THEM NOW. YOU SHOULD SEND YOUR STOCK CERTIFICATES ONLY AFTER YOU HAVE RECEIVED INSTRUCTIONS FROM THE EXCHANGE AGENT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE INSTRUCTIONS.

If any certificates for shares of Common Stock are to be issued in a name other than that in which the certificates for shares of Common Stock surrendered are registered, the stockholder requesting the reissuance will be required to pay to us any transfer taxes or establish to our satisfaction that such taxes have been paid or are not payable and, in addition, (a) the transfer must comply with all applicable federal and state securities laws, and (b) the surrendered certificate must be properly endorsed and otherwise be in proper form for transfer.

Book-Entry

The Company's registered stockholders may hold some or all of their shares electronically in book-entry form with our transfer agent. These stockholders do not have stock certificates evidencing their ownership of the Company’s Common Stock. They are, however, provided with a statement reflecting the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock registered in their accounts.

	●	If you hold registered shares of the Company’s Common Stock in book-entry form, you do not need to take any action to receive your post-reverse stock split shares of the Company’s Common Stock in registered book-entry form.
	●	If you are entitled to post-reverse stock split shares of the Company’s common stock, a transaction statement will automatically be sent to your address of record by our transfer agent as soon as practicable after the Effective Date of the reverse stock split indicating the number of shares of the Company’s common stock you hold.

Vote Required and Recommendation

The Delaware General Corporation Law and our Certificate of Incorporation require that, in order for us to amend the Certificate of Incorporation to give effect to the reverse stock split, such amendment must be approved by our Board of Directors and approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote on such an amendment.

Our Board of Directors will adopt resolutions when they feel appropriate, approving the reverse stock split with an exchange ratio, and the amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation and declaring that the amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to effect the reverse stock split is advisable and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

At the Annual Meeting a vote will be taken on a proposal to amend the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, to effect a reverse split of our outstanding common stock at the discretion of the Board of Directors.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE AUTHORIZATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO AMEND THE COMPANY’S CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION, TO EFFECT A REVERSE SPLIT OF OUR OUTSTANDING COMMON STOCK AT THE DISCRETION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS.

APPROVAL OF ISSUANCE OF SECURITIES IN ONE OR MORE NON-PUBLIC OFFERINGS WHERE THE MAXIMUM DISCOUNT AT WHICH SECURITIES WILL BE OFFERED WILL BE EQUIVALENT TO A DISCOUNT OF 25% BELOW THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK IN ACCORDANCE WITH NASDAQ MARKETPLACE RULE 5635(D)

(Proposal No. 4)

Summary

The purpose of Proposal 4 is to obtain the stockholder approval necessary under applicable NASDAQ Stock Market rules to allow for the full issuance and exercise of shares of Common Stock issued by the Company to certain investors.

Background

The Company must raise capital to enhance its overall capitalization. The Company has not determined the particular terms for such prospective offerings. Because the Company seeks additional capital that triggers the requirements of Rule 5635(d), the Company is seeking stockholder approval now, so that it will be able to move quickly to take full advantage of any opportunities that may develop in the equity markets.

The Company hereby submits this proposal to its stockholders for their approval of the potential issuance of shares of Common Stock, or securities convertible into Common Stock, in one or more non-public capital-raising transactions, or offerings, subject to the following limitations:

	●	The aggregate number of shares issued in the offerings will not exceed 25,000,000 shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment for any reverse stock split effected prior to the offerings (including pursuant to preferred stock, options, warrants, convertible debt or other securities exercisable for or convertible into Common Stock);
	●	The total aggregate consideration will not exceed $25 million;
	●	The maximum discount at which securities will be offered will be equivalent to a discount of 25% below the market price of our common stock at the time of issuance in recognition of the limited public float of the traded Common Stock and historical volatility making the pricing discount of the Common Stock required by investors at any particular time difficult, at this time, to predict;
	●	Such offerings will occur, if at all, on or before January 31, 2017; and
	●	Such other terms as the Board of Directors shall deem to be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, not inconsistent with the foregoing.

The issuance of shares of Common Stock, or other securities convertible into shares of Common Stock, in accordance with any offerings would dilute, and thereby reduce, each existing stockholder’s proportionate ownership in Common Stock. The stockholders do not have preemptive rights to subscribe to additional shares that may be issued by the Company in order to maintain their proportionate ownership of the Common Stock.

The issuance of shares of Common Stock in one or more non-public offerings could have an anti-takeover effect. Such issuance could dilute the voting power of a person seeking control of the Company, thereby deterring or rendering more difficult a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or an extraordinary corporate transaction opposed by the Company.

The Board of Directors has not yet determined the terms and conditions of any offerings. As a result, the level of potential dilution cannot be determined at this time, but as discussed above, the Company may not issue more than 25,000,000 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate pursuant to the authority requested from stockholders under this proposal (subject to adjustment for any reverse stock split). It is possible that if the Company conducts a non-public stock offering, some of the shares the Company could sell could be purchased by one or more investors who could acquire a large block of Common Stock. This would concentrate voting power in the hands of a few stockholders who could exercise greater influence on our operations or the outcome of matters put to a vote of stockholders in the future.

The Company cannot determine what the actual net proceeds of the offerings will be until they are completed, but as discussed above, the aggregate dollar amount of the non-public offerings will be no more than $12 million. The Company currently has very limited understandings regarding any specific transaction with investors, so the Company cannot predict whether we will be successful should the Company seek to raise capital through any offerings.

NASDAQ Listing Requirements and the Necessity of Stockholder Approval

The Common Stock is currently listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market and, as such, the Company is subject to Nasdaq Marketplace Rules. Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635(d) (“Rule 5635(d)”) requires the Company to obtain stockholder approval prior to the issuance of Common Stock in connection with certain non-public offerings involving the sale, issuance or potential issuance by the Company of Common Stock (and/or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock) equal to 20% or more of the Common Stock outstanding before the issuance. Shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise or conversion of warrants, options, debt instruments, preferred stock or other equity securities issued or granted in such non-public offerings will be considered shares issued in such a transaction in determining whether the 20% limit has been reached, except in certain circumstances such as issuing warrants that are not exercisable for a minimum of six months and have an exercise price that exceeds market value. Therefore, the Company requires stockholder approval.

Vote Required and Recommendation

The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present, in person or by proxy, and voting on the matter, will be required to issue securities in one or more non-public offerings where the maximum discount at which securities will be offered will be equivalent to a discount of 25% below market price of our common stock in accordance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635(d).

At the Annual Meeting a vote will be taken on a proposal to approve the issuance of securities in one or more non-public offerings where the maximum discount at which securities will be offered will be equivalent to a discount of 25% below market price of our common stock in accordance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635(d).

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE APPROVAL OF THE ISSUANCE OF securities in one or more non-public offerings where the maximum discount at which securities will be offered will be equivalent to a discount of 25% below market price of our common stock in accordance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635(d) .

APPROVAL OF ISSUANCE OF an aggregate of UP TO 3,125,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in accordance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635(d)

(Proposal No. 5)

Summary

The purpose of Proposal 5 is to obtain the stockholder approval necessary under applicable NASDAQ Stock Market rules to allow for the full issuance and conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock (as defined below) into shares of Common Stock.

Background

On April 1, 2016, the Company entered into a placement agency agreement (the “Placement Agency Agreement”) with Aegis Capital Corp. (the “Placement Agent”) under which the Placement Agent agreed to serve as the sole placement agent, on a “reasonable best efforts” basis, in connection with the registered direct public offering (the “Offering”) of an aggregate of 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), for an aggregate purchase price of $2,500,000. Also on April 1, 2016, to effect the Offering, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional investors named in the signature pages thereto (the “Purchasers”) under which we agreed to issue and sell the Series A Preferred Stock directly to the Purchasers. On April 11, 2016, the Company closed the Offering.

The Placement Agent did not purchase or sell any securities, nor is it required to arrange the purchase or sale of any minimum number or dollar amount of securities. The Placement Agent agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to arrange for the sale of all of the Series A Preferred Stock being issued and sold in the Offering. The Placement Agent was paid a cash fee (the “Placement Fee”) in an aggregate amount equal to 7% of the gross cash proceeds received by the Company from the sale of the Series A Preferred Stock in the Offering. In addition to the Placement Fee the Company agreed to reimburse the Placement Agent for certain out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the Offering. The Company has also granted the Placement Agent the right of first refusal to act as sole and exclusive investment banker, sole and exclusive book-runner, sole and exclusive financial advisor, sole and exclusive underwriter and/or sole and exclusive placement agent, at the Placement Agent’s sole and exclusive discretion, for each and every future public and private equity and debt offering, including all equity linked financings, for a period of twelve (12) months after the closing of the Offering.

The Series A Preferred Stock was issued pursuant to a prospectus supplement to the Company’s effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-203637), which was initially filed with SEC on April 24, 2015 and was declared effective on May 14, 2015. The Company filed the prospectus supplement for the Offering on April 4, 2016.

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

The Company filed the Certificate of Designations (the “Series A Certificate of Designations”) of the Series A Preferred Stock with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on April 5, 2016, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Series A Certificate of Designations, filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on June 30, 2016, and Amendment No. 2 to the Series A Certificate of Designations, filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on July 25, 2016.

Ranking

The Series A Preferred Stock will rank with respect to dividend rights and/or rights upon distributions, liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company senior to all of our common stock and other classes of capital stock, other than the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, which it will rank pari passu with.

Liquidation Preference of Series A Preferred Stock

Upon the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, before the payment of any amount to the holder of shares of junior stock, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive in cash an amount equal to the greater of (i) the stated value of the Series A Preferred Stock or (ii) the amount the holder of Series A Preferred Stock would receive if such holder converted the Series A Preferred Stock into common stock immediately prior to the date of the liquidation event, including accrued and unpaid dividends.

Dividends on Series A Preferred Stock

Holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive from the first date of issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock until the date that is twelve (12) months from the issuance date cumulative dividends at a rate of 25% per annum on a compounded basis, which dividend amount shall be guaranteed. Accrued and unpaid dividends shall be payable, at the Company’s option, in cash, shares of common stock, or additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

Redemption of Series A Preferred Stock

Upon the occurrence of certain triggering events (including the Series A Preferred Stock or common stock underlying the Series A Preferred Stock is not freely tradeable without restriction; the failure of the common stock to be listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market or other national securities exchange; and bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or liquidation proceedings instituted against the Company shall not be dismissed in thirty (30) days or the voluntary commencement of such proceedings by the Company), the holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right to require the Company, by written notice, to redeem all or any of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock in cash at a price equal to the greater of (i) 110% of the conversion amount to be redeemed and (ii) the product of (a) the conversion amount divided by $0.40 multiplied by (b) 110% of the greatest closing sale price of the common stock on any trading day during the period commencing on the date immediately preceding such triggering event and ending on the date the Company makes the entire redemption payment to the holder of Series A Preferred Stock. In the event that the Company elects to pay the redemption price in shares of common stock, the Company shall issue the shares of common stock at a conversion price equal to 75% of the lowest volume weighted average price in the fifteen (15) consecutive trading days ending on the trading day that is immediately prior to the triggering event redemption notice.

Upon the occurrence of a change in control of the Company, a holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right to require the Company to redeem all or any portion of the Series A Preferred Stock in cash at a price equal to 110% of the stated value of the Series A Preferred Stock. In addition, so long as certain equity conditions do not exist (including the Company shall have timely delivered any common stock upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock), then the Company shall have the right to redeem all, but not less than all, of the Series A Preferred Stock outstanding in cash at a price equal to the sum of (i) 110% of the stated value of the Series A Preferred Stock and (ii) all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon.

Furthermore, beginning on August 1, 2016, the Company shall redeem one-fourteenth (1/14th) of the outstanding amount of Series A Preferred Stock and any accrued but unpaid dividends on a bi-weekly basis (the “Series A Series A Installment Redemption Payment”). The Series A Installment Redemption Payment shall be payable, at the option of the Company, in cash at a price equal to 110% of the stated value of the Series A Preferred Stock plus all accrued and unpaid dividends, or, subject to certain equity conditions, in common stock at a price equal to the lesser of (a) $0.40 or (b) 80% of the lowest volume weighted average price of the common stock in the ten (10) consecutive trading days ending on the trading day that is immediately prior to the date of the Series A Installment Redemption Payment (the “Series A Installment Conversion Price”), except that accrued and unpaid dividends shall be paid in cash; and provided that, the Series A Installment Conversion Price shall not be below $0.235. During the period commencing on August 1, 2016 and ending on November 1, 2016, the holders shall be limited to trading the greater of: (i) 27.5% of the average daily trading volume of the Common Stock per trading day in the aggregate, pro rata based on the percentage of Series A Preferred Stock initially purchased by each holder; and (ii) $25,000 per trading day in the aggregate, pro rata based on the percentage of Series A Preferred Stock initially purchased by each holder.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, until the Company pays off certain senior debt it is not required to pay any amounts under the Series A Certificate of Designations in cash.

Conversion Rights of Series A Preferred Stock

A holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right to convert the Series A Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, upon written notice to the Company at a conversion price equal to $0.40, which shall be subject to adjustment for any share dividend, share split, share combination, reclassification or similar transaction.

Mandatory Conversion Upon Series A Qualified Offering

Effective on the closing of either (i) a firm commitment underwritten public offering, or (ii) a private offering with registration rights granted to investors, of equity or debt securities of the Company for a minimum aggregate purchase price of $6,000,000 (the “Series A Qualified Offering”), each holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall convert a minimum of at least two-thirds (2/3) and up to 100% of its outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock into the Series A Qualified Offering at the price of such securities issued in the Series A Qualified Offering.

Fundamental Transactions

The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to not enter into a “fundamental transaction” unless the successor entity assumes in writing the obligations of the Company under the Series Certificate of Designations and the successor entity (including its parent entity) is a publicly traded company whose shares of common stock are quoted or listed on an eligible national securities exchange. Upon a change of control of the Company, a holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right to require the Company to redeem all or any portion of the Series A Preferred Stock at the applicable premium redemption price. A fundamental transaction is a transaction in which (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions, (a) consolidates or merges with or into any other entity (except where the Company is the surviving entity), (b) sells, leases, licenses, assigns, transfers, conveys or otherwise disposes of all or substantially all of its properties or assets to any other entity, (c) allows any other entity to make a purchase, tender or exchange offer that is accepted by such holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of voting stock of the Company (not including any shares of voting stock of the Company held by the entity making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the entity making or party to, such purchase, tender or exchange offer), or (d) consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with any other entity whereby such other entity acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of voting stock of the Company (not including any shares of voting stock of the Company held by the other entity making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other entity making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination), or (e) reorganizes, recapitalizes or reclassifies the common stock (which shall not include a reverse stock split), or (ii) any “person” or “group” (as these terms are used for purposes of Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) is or shall become the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of 50% of the aggregate ordinary voting power represented by issued and outstanding voting stock of the Company.

Voting Rights

Except with respect to certain material changes in the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock and certain other matters, and except as may be required by Delaware law, holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights. The approval of a majority of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock is required to amend the Series A Certificate of Designations.

In addition to the Equity Financing Fee, the Company agreed to pay the July Placement Agent for a non-accountable expense allowance equal to one percent (1%) of the gross proceeds received by the Company from the sale of the Series B Preferred Stock in the Equity Financing.

On July 25, 2016, the Company also entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Investors pursuant to which the Company agreed to register the shares of common stock underlying the Series B Shares and the Warrants on a Form S-3 registration statement to be filed with the SEC within thirty (30) days after the date of the issuance of the Series B Shares and the July Warrants (the “Filing Date”) and to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) within ninety (90) days following the Filing Date. If certain of its obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement are not met, the Company is required to pay partial liquidated damages to each of the Investors, in the amount equal to 2% of the stated value of the Series B Shares on the Closing Date for each 30-day period for which the Company is non-compliant up to 6 months.

Series B Convertible Preferred Stock

The Company filed the Certificate of Designations (the “Series B Certificate of Designations”) of the Series B Preferred Stock with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on July 25, 2016.

Ranking

The Series B Preferred Stock will rank pari passu with our Series A Preferred Stock with respect to dividend rights and/or rights upon distributions, liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company. The Series B Preferred Stock will rank with respect to dividend rights and/or rights upon distributions, liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company senior to all of our common stock and other classes of capital stock other than the Series A Preferred Stock, unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock consent to the creation of parity stock other than the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, or senior preferred stock.

Liquidation Preference of Series B Preferred Stock

Upon the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, before the payment of any amount to the holder of shares of junior stock, the holders of Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to receive in cash an amount equal to the greater of (i) the stated value of the Series B Preferred Stock or (ii) the amount the holder of Series B Preferred Stock would receive if such holder converted the Series B Preferred Stock into common stock immediately prior to the date of the liquidation event, including accrued and unpaid dividends.

Dividends on Series B Preferred Stock

Holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive from the first date of issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock until the date that is twelve (12) months from the issuance date cumulative dividends at a rate of 25% per annum on a compounded basis, which dividend amount shall be guaranteed. Accrued and unpaid dividends shall be payable by at the Company’s option in shares of common stock or in cash.

Redemption of Series B Preferred Stock

Upon the occurrence of certain triggering events (including, without limitation, the price of the common stock is not above the floor price for a period of ten (10) consecutive trading days and during such period no holder has made any conversions, (a “Floor Price Failure”); any material adverse effect occurs; and equity conditions failure), the holder of Series B Preferred Stock shall have the right to require the Company, by written notice, to redeem all or any of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock in shares of common stock or in cash at a price equal to the greater of (i) 110% of the conversion amount to be redeemed and (ii) the product of (a) the conversion amount divided by $0.40 multiplied by (b) 110% of the greatest closing sale price of the common stock on any trading day during the period commencing on the date immediately preceding such triggering event and ending on the date the Company makes the entire redemption payment to the holder of Series B Preferred Stock. In the event that the Company elects to pay the redemption price in shares of common stock, the Company shall issue the shares of common stock at a conversion price equal to 75% of the lowest volume weighted average price in the fifteen (15) consecutive trading days ending on the trading day that is immediately prior to the triggering event redemption notice (the “Triggering Event Redemption Conversion Price”). Further, if any holders request redemptions at the Triggering Event Redemption Conversion Price due to triggering event related to an equity conditions failure, upon a cure of such failure, the Company shall not be required to pay to such holder the redemptions in shares of Common Stock at the Triggering Event Conversion Redemption Price.

Additionally, in the event of an Initial Floor Price Failure, the Company must within five (5) trading days upon the occurrence of a floor price failure, reset the floor price from $0.235 to $0.188, adjusted for splits and dividends (an “Initial Floor Price Reset”). In the event of a Floor Price Failure, where there has been an Initial Floor Price Reset and the floor price has fallen below such Initial Floor Price Reset and where the stated value of the then-outstanding Series B Preferred Stock held by all holders as a group is greater than or equal to $250,000, within five (5) trading Days following the Floor Price Failure, the Company will provide notice (a “Floor Price Failure Notice”) to the Holders of (i) the occurrence of a triggering event pursuant and (ii) its intention to either (x) redeem the Series B Preferred Stock , pursuant to the method of redemption described in the Series B Certificate of Designations, within ten (10) trading days or (y) to call a special meeting or annual meeting to consider items necessary to cure the triggering event; provided, that the Company files a preliminary proxy statement within ten (10) trading days thereafter (the “Preliminary Proxy”) and takes reasonable steps to get the corporate action approved within a reasonable period of time thereafter. If within ten (10) trading days following receipt by the holders of Floor Price Failure Notice, the Company has not redeemed the Series B Preferred Stock nor has the Company filed a Preliminary Proxy, then the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock, voting as a single class, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to take steps necessary to cause the Company to remedy the triggering event, including, without limitation, through, among other means, the holders filing of a proxy statement meeting the requirements of Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, in order to call a special meeting of the Company’s shareholders to consider whether to delist from the principal market or to effect a reverse stock split or some other corporate action necessary to cure the triggering event. If the triggering event has not been cured within two weeks following the date of such annual meeting or special meeting, then the holders may request redemption of their Series B Preferred Stock, pursuant to the method of redemption described in the Series B Certificate of Designations, which redemption must occur within five (5) trading days of such request.

Furthermore, beginning on November 1, 2016, the Company shall redeem one-fourteenth (1/14th) of the outstanding amount of Series B Preferred Stock and any accrued but unpaid dividends on a bi-weekly basis (the "Series B Installment Redemption Payment"). The Series B Installment Redemption Payment shall be payable, at the option of the Company, in cash at a price equal to 110% of the stated value of the Series B Preferred Stock plus all accrued and unpaid dividends, or, subject to certain equity conditions, in common stock at a price equal to the lesser of (a) $0.40 or (b) 75% of the lowest volume weighted average price of the common stock in the ten (10) consecutive trading days ending on the trading day that is immediately prior to the date of the Series B Installment Redemption Payment (the "Series B Installment Conversion Price"), except that accrued and unpaid dividends shall be paid in cash; and provided that, the Series B Installment Conversion Price shall not be below $0.235.

In the event that the Company elects to pay the Series B Installment Redemption Payment in cash, the holder shall have the option to demand payment of the Series B Installment Redemption Payment in shares of Common Stock at $0.40, in lieu of the receipt of cash. In the event that the Company elects to not pay an Series B Installment Redemption Payment in cash and the equity conditions are not met, then each holder shall be entitled to the redemption of the applicable Series B Installment Redemption Payment at a conversion price equal to the Triggering Event Redemption Conversion Price until such time that the Equity Conditions Failure is cured. Additionally, upon the repayment of the promissory note that will be issued in connection with the Debt Financing, the reference to 75% in connection with any Series B Installment Redemption Payment will be increased to 80%.

Conversion Rights of Series B Preferred Stock

A holder of Series B Preferred Stock shall have the right to convert the Series B Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, upon written notice to the Company at a conversion price equal to $0.40, which shall be subject to adjustment for any share dividend, share split, share combination, reclassification or similar transaction.

Mandatory Conversion Upon Series B Qualified Offering

Effective on the closing of either (i) a firm commitment underwritten public offering, or (ii) a private offering with registration rights granted to investors, of equity, equity-linked or debt securities of the Company for a minimum aggregate purchase price of $20,000,000 (the "Series B Qualified Offering"), each holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall convert a minimum of at least two-thirds (2/3) and up to 100% of its outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock into the Series B Qualified Offering at the price of such securities issued in the Series B Qualified Offering.

Upon a change of control of the Company, a holder of Series B Preferred Stock shall have the right to require the Company to redeem all or any portion of the Series B Preferred Stock at the applicable premium redemption price. A fundamental transaction is a transaction in which (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions, (a) consolidates or merges with or into any other entity (except where the Company is the surviving entity), (b) sells, leases, licenses, assigns, transfers, conveys or otherwise disposes of all or substantially all of its properties or assets to any other entity, (c) allows any other entity to make a purchase, tender or exchange offer that is accepted by such holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of voting stock of the Company (not including any shares of voting stock of the Company held by the entity making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the entity making or party to, such purchase, tender or exchange offer), or (d) consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with any other entity whereby such other entity acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of voting stock of the Company (not including any shares of voting stock of the Company held by the other entity making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other entity making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination), or (e) reorganizes, recapitalizes or reclassifies the common stock (which shall not include a reverse stock split), or (ii) any “person” or “group” (as these terms are used for purposes of Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) is or shall become the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of 50% of the aggregate ordinary voting power represented by issued and outstanding voting stock of the Company.

The warrants will be exercisable beginning on January 25, 2017, and will be exercisable for a period of five (5) years. The exercise price with respect to the July Warrants is $0.75 per share. The exercise price and the amount of shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants are subject to adjustment upon certain events, such as stock splits, combinations, dividends, distributions, reclassifications, mergers or other corporate change and dilutive issuances.

AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER

Role

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors assists the Board of Directors in fulfilling its responsibility for oversight of the quality and integrity of the accounting, auditing, and reporting practices of the Company, and such other duties as directed by the Board. The Committee’s purpose is to oversee the accounting and financial reporting processes of the Company, the audits of the Company’s financial statements, the qualifications of the public accounting firm engaged as the Company's independent auditor to prepare or issue an audit report on the financial statements of the Company as well as the independence of such firm, and the performance of the Company's internal and independent auditors. The Committee’s role includes a particular focus on the qualitative aspects of financial reporting to shareholders, the Company’s processes to manage business and financial risk, and compliance with significant applicable legal, ethical, and regulatory requirements. The Committee is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of the independent auditor.

Membership

The membership of the Committee shall consist of at least three directors, all of whom shall be determined by the Board to be “independent” under the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules and Rule 10A-3(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended (the “Exchange Act”); provided that one director, who is not independent under the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules applicable to audit committee members, meets the criteria set forth in Section 10A(m)(3) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and is not currently an executive officer, employee or family member of an executive officer, may be appointed to the Committee if the Board, under exceptional and limited circumstances, determines that such individual’s membership on the Committee is required by the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. If the Company relies on this exemption, it must include some additional disclosure in the proxy statement for the next annual meeting subsequent to such determination. A member appointed under this exception may not serve longer than two years and may not serve as chairperson of the Committee. Each member shall in the judgment of the Board have the ability to read and understand fundamental financial statements. At least one member of the Committee shall in the judgment of the Board be an "audit committee financial expert" as defined by the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC (the “SEC Rules”), and at least one member (who may also serve as the audit committee financial expert) shall in the judgment of the Board meet the financial sophistication standard required by the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules. The Board appoints the members of the Committee and the chairperson. The Board may remove any member from the Committee at any time with or without cause.

Operations

The Committee shall meet at least four times a year. Additional meetings may occur as the Committee or its chair deems advisable. The Committee will cause to be kept adequate minutes of all its proceedings, and will report on its actions and activities at the next quarterly meeting of the Board. Committee members will be furnished with copies of the minutes of each meeting and any action taken by unanimous consent. The Committee is governed by the same rules regarding meetings (including meetings by conference telephone or similar communications equipment), action without meetings, notice, waiver of notice, and quorum and voting requirements as are applicable to the Board. The Committee is authorized and empowered to adopt its own rules of procedure not inconsistent with (a) any provision of this Charter, (b) any provision of the Bylaws of the Company, or (c) the laws of the state of Delaware.

Communications

The independent auditor reports directly to the Committee. The Committee is expected to maintain free and open communication with the independent auditor, the internal auditors, and management. This communication will include periodic private executive sessions with each of these parties.

A-1

Education

The Company is responsible for providing new members with appropriate orientation briefings and educational opportunities, and the full Committee with educational resources related to accounting principles and procedures, current accounting topics pertinent to the Company and other material as may be requested by the Committee. The Company will assist the Committee in maintaining appropriate financial literacy.

Authority

The Committee will have the resources and authority necessary to discharge its duties and responsibilities. The Committee has sole authority to appoint, retain and terminate independent counsel, outside financial experts or other advisors, as it deems appropriate, including sole authority to approve the firms' fees and other retention terms, and to oversee the work of such independent counsel, outside financial experts or other advisors. The Committee will also maintain the authority to receive and respond to complaints regarding accounting, internal accounting controls, or auditing matters. The Committee will be provided with appropriate funding by the Company, as the Committee determines, for the payment of compensation to the Company's independent auditor and other advisors as it deems appropriate, and ordinary administrative expenses of the Committee that are necessary or appropriate in carrying out its duties. In discharging its oversight role, the Committee is empowered to investigate any matter brought to its attention. Any communications between the Committee and legal counsel in the course of obtaining legal advice will be considered privileged communications of the Company, and the Committee will take all necessary steps to preserve the privileged nature of those communications.

The Committee may form and delegate authority to subcommittees, composed of one or more of its independent members, and may delegate authority to one or more designated independent members of the Committee.

Related Party Transactions

Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5630, the Committee shall review and approve policies and procedures regarding any transaction between the Company and its officers, directors, affiliates of officers and directors, or other related parties (a “Related Party Transaction”) for which disclosure in the Company’s filings with the SEC is required pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K. The Committee shall consider the facts and circumstances regarding such transactions, including, but not limited to, amounts involved, the relationship of the related person (and those persons identified in the instructions to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K) with the Company, and terms that would be available in a similar transaction with an unaffiliated third-party. The Audit Committee shall also consider its fiduciary duties, the Company’s obligations under applicable securities laws (including disclosure obligations and director independence rules), and any other applicable law in evaluating a Related Party Transaction. The Audit Committee shall then report its determination regarding such transactions to the full Board of Directors at its next regularly scheduled meeting.

Responsibilities

The Committee’s specific responsibilities in carrying out its oversight role are delineated below. The responsibilities will be updated annually to reflect changes in regulatory requirements, authoritative guidance, evolving oversight practices, and the results of the Company’s annual review of the Audit Committee Charter.

The Committee relies on the expertise and knowledge of management, the internal auditors and the independent auditor in carrying out its oversight responsibilities. Management of the Company is responsible for determining the Company’s financial statements are complete, accurate and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The independent auditor is responsible for auditing the Company’s financial statements. It is not the duty of the Committee to plan or conduct audits, to determine that the financial statements are complete and accurate and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, to conduct investigations, or to assure compliance with laws and regulations or the Company’s standards of business conduct, codes of ethics, internal policies, procedures and controls.

The agenda for Committee meetings will be prepared in consultation between the Committee chair (with input from the Committee members), Finance management, and the independent auditor.

The Committee will appoint or replace the independent auditor and determine the terms on which the independent auditor is engaged for the ensuing fiscal year and, at least annually, evaluate the independent auditor's qualifications, performance, and independence, including that of the lead partner. The evaluation will include obtaining a written report from the independent auditor describing: the firm’s internal quality control procedures and any material issues raised by the most recent internal quality control review, or peer review, of the firm or by any inquiry or investigation by governmental or professional authorities within the past five years, concerning an independent audit or audits carried out by the firm, and on any steps taken to deal with those issues; and all relationships between the independent auditor and the Company.

The Committee will resolve any disagreements between management and the independent auditor about financial reporting.

The Committee will establish and oversee a policy designating permissible services that the independent auditor may perform for the Company, providing that the Committee must pre-approve all auditing services and non-audit services (other than “prohibited non-audit services”) to be provided to the Company by its independent auditor. The Committee may delegate authority to one or more independent members to grant pre-approvals of audit and permitted non-audit services; provided that any such pre-approvals shall be presented to the full Committee at its next scheduled meetings.

The following shall be “prohibited non-audit services”: (i) bookkeeping or other services related to the accounting records or financial statements of the Company; (ii) financial information systems design and implementations; (iii) appraisal or valuation services, providing fairness opinions or preparing contribution-in-kind reports; (iv) actuarial services; (v) internal audit outsourcing services; (vi) management functions or human resources; (vii) broker or dealer, investment adviser or investment banking services; (viii) legal services and expert services unrelated to the audit; and (ix) any other service that the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB”) prohibits through regulation.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, pre-approval is not necessary for minor non-audit services if: (i) the aggregate amount of all such non-audit services provided to the Company constitutes not more than five percent of the total amount of revenues paid by the Company to its registered public accounting firm during the fiscal year in which the non-audit services are provided; (ii) such services were not recognized by the Company at the time of the engagement to be non-audit services; and (iii) such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Committee and approved prior to the completion of the audit by the Committee or by one or more members of the Committee who are members of the Board to whom authority to grant such approvals has been delegated by the Committee.

The Committee will review the responsibilities, functions and performance of the Company's internal audit department.

THIRD: The Article 4 of the Certificate of Incorporation is hereby amended as follows:

“a) Common Stock. Each holder of record of Common Stock shall have the right to one vote for each share of Common Stock registered in the holder’s name on the books of the Corporation on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders except as the right to exercise such vote may be limited by the provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation or of any class or series of Preferred Stock established hereunder. The holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to such dividends as may be declared by the Board of Directors from time to time, provided that required dividends, if any, on Preferred Stock have been paid or provided for. In the event of the liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, whether voluntary or involuntary, of the Corporation, the assets and funds of the Corporation available for distribution to stockholders, and remaining after the payment to holders of Preferred Stock of the amounts, if any, to which they are entitled, shall be divided and paid to the holders of Common Stock according to their respective shares.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Members of

LogicMark, LLC

Buffalo Grove, Illinois

Report on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of LogicMark, LLC, which comprise the balance sheets, as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related statements of income, members' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor's Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified audit opinion.

The Company has recorded goodwill and other intangibles as the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired (see Note A.7). At acquisition, the Company did not objectively determine the fair value of goodwill and other intangibles, recording all unidentified costs of acquisition as goodwill. Absent an independent appraisal, it is possible that goodwill at December 31, 2015 and 2014 is overstated by these unidentified costs, with a corresponding understatement of amortizable intangible assets and related accumulated amortization and amortization expense. The effects of this departure from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have not been determined. Generally accepted accounting principles require that the fair values of specific assets purchased be recorded as of the acquisition date. Accordingly, we are not able to satisfy ourselves as to the fairness of the recorded goodwill and other intangibles stated at $13,079,631 in the accompanying financial statements at December 31, 2015 and 2014.

Qualified Opinion

In our opinion, except for the possible effects of the matter described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of LogicMark, LLC as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2015 and 2014

NOTE A - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1.	Nature of Operations

LogicMark, LLC (the "Company"), a Delaware Limited Liability Company, operates as a leading designer, producer, and distributor of two-way voice and monitored personal emergency response systems. The Company primarily markets through medical providers, home healthcare retailers and personal security markets and operates from various locations throughout the United States.

2.	Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue upon shipment of products.

3.	Accounts Receivable and Bad Debts

Accounts receivable are uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms, generally requiring payment within thirty days from the invoice date. Certain significant customers utilize extended terms requiring payment within seventy-five days from the invoice date. Interest is not accrued on outstanding balances.

Accounts receivable are stated at the amounts billed to the customers. Customer account balances with outstanding invoices more than thirty days past due are considered delinquent, and those customers are reviewed before additional orders can be delivered.

Payments of accounts receivable are allocated to the specific invoices identified on the customer's remittance advice or, if unspecified, are applied to the earliest unpaid invoices.

The carrying amount of accounts receivable is reduced by a valuation allowance that reflects management's best estimate of the amounts that will not be collected. Management individually reviews all accounts receivable balances that exceed the invoice terms and, based on an assessment of creditworthiness, estimates the portion, if any, of the balance that will not be collected.

NOTE A - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (determined by the first-in, first-out method) or market, and primarily consists of finished goods.

5.	Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives of all property and equipment at December 31, 2015 is three years.

6.	Deferred Financing Fees

Financing fees, totaling $40,000 at each of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, are amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the related debt agreements. During 2014 the Company wrote off $39,192 of unamortized financing fees and capitalized $40,000 of financing fees paid as its term loan was refinanced (Note C). Amortization expense, including the write off of unamortized financing fees, during 2015 and 2014 was $13,333 and $55,537, respectively. Estimated amortization expense for future years ending December 31 is as follows:

7.	Goodwill and Other Intangibles

Goodwill and other intangibles represents the excess of the purchase price and related costs over the fair value of net assets acquired. Goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized, but instead are tested for impairment annually, or if certain circumstances indicate a possible impairment may exist. The Company assesses qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events and circumstances, the Company determines that this is the case, then the Company evaluates the recoverability of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets using a two-step impairment test approach at the reporting unit level. In the first step, the fair value for the reporting unit is compared to its book value including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the book value, a second step is performed which compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill to the book value of the goodwill.

The fair value of the goodwill and other intangibles is determined based on the difference between the fair values of the reporting units and the net fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities of such reporting units. If the fair value of the goodwill is less than the book value, the difference is recognized as an impairment. The Company has assessed qualitative factors and has determined that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of any reporting units is less than its respective carrying amount.

Current accounting standards require that intangible assets with finite lives be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to the estimated residual values and reviewed for impairment. At acquisition, the Company did not objectively determine the fair value of goodwill and other intangibles, recording all unidentified costs of acquisition as goodwill. Absent an independent appraisal, it is possible that goodwill at December 31, 2015 and 2014 is overstated by these unidentified costs, with a corresponding understatement of amortizable intangible assets and related accumulated amortization and amortization expense. The effects of this departure from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have not been determined. Generally accepted accounting principles require that the fair values of specific assets purchased be recorded as of the acquisition date.

8.	Shipping and Handling

Shipping and handling income billed to customers is included in sales and the related costs are classified as cost of goods sold.

9.	Advertising

The Company expenses advertising costs as they are incurred. Advertising expense for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 was approximately $104,000 and $165,000 respectively, and are included in operating expenses.

10.	Research and Development

The Company expenses research and development costs as they are incurred. Research and development expense for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 was approximately $414,000 and $246,000, respectively, and is included in operating expenses.

11.	Income Taxes

The Company is formed as a limited liability company and is treated as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes. Income (or loss) is allocated to members in accordance with the terms of the Company's operating agreement and is included in the members' income tax returns. Therefore, no liability or provision for income taxes is included in the financial statements. The Company is subject to certain state taxes.

Management has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Company, and has concluded that as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability in the financial statements. The Company is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress.

12.	Use of Estimates

In preparing financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the 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.

13.	Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and short-term borrowings, approximates fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying amount of long-term debt approximates fair value because the interest rates fluctuate with market interest rates or the fixed interest rates are based on current rates offered to the Company for debt with similar terms and maturities.

It is the Company’s policy, in general, to measure nonfinancial assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These items are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis, but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (such as evidence of impairment) which, if material, are disclosed in the accompanying notes to these financial statements.

14.	Personal Assets and Liabilities and Allocations to Members

In accordance with the generally accepted method of presenting limited liability company financial statements, the financial statements do not include the personal assets and liabilities of the members, including their obligations for an income tax liability.

Allocations of income (or loss) and cash distributions to the members are based on the provisions of the Limited Liability Company Agreement of LogicMark, LLC.

15.	Limitations of Liability

The Company is organized pursuant to the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, which limits the liability of the individual members. In a limited liability company, each member's liability is generally limited, except for individual member guarantees of Company obligations, to the capital invested. The term of existence commenced on the date of the filings and shall continue until the Company dissolves and its affairs wound up in accordance with the Act and the respective Limited Liability Company Agreement.

NOTE B - NOTE PAYABLE - BANK

The Company has a revolving line of credit agreement with a bank, subject to a borrowing base limit, with availability up to the lesser of $500,000 or the sum of 80% of eligible accounts receivable and 40% of eligible inventory, that expires on October 9, 2017. Interest is payable monthly at the Company's option of the prime rate (3.50% at December 31, 2015) plus an applicable margin, or the daily floating London InterBank Offered Rate (LIBOR) (0.43% at December 31, 2015) plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin is based on the Company's total funded debt leverage ratio. There were no outstanding borrowings under the agreement at December 31, 2015 and 2014. The line is collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company, is guaranteed by the majority member, and contains restrictive covenants relating to the Company's financial position and operations.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements give effect to the recently closed transaction between NXT-ID, Inc.(“NXT-ID” or the “Company”) and LogicMark, LLC (“LogicMark”). For accounting purposes, NXT-ID is considered to be acquiring LogicMark in this transaction. The transaction will be accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting under existing U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, which are subject to change and interpretation. Under the acquisition method of accounting, management of NXT-ID have made a preliminary estimate of purchase price, calculated as described in Note 2 to these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. The net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with the transaction are at their estimated acquisition date fair values. The acquisition method of accounting is dependent upon certain valuations and other studies that have yet to progress to a stage where there is sufficient information for a definitive measurement. A final determination of these estimated fair values will be based on the actual net tangible and intangible assets of LogicMark that exist as of the date of completion of the transaction.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements presented below are based upon the historical financial statements of NXT-ID and LogicMark, included in this proxy statement, adjusted to give effect to the acquisition of LogicMark by NXT-ID, for accounting purposes. The pro forma adjustments are described in the accompanying notes presented on the following pages.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2016 gives effect to the recently completed transaction as if it occurred on March 31, 2016 and combines the historical balance sheets of LogicMark and NXT-ID at March 31, 2016. The LogicMark balance sheet information was derived from its unaudited March 31, 2016 balance sheet. The NXT-ID balance sheet information was derived from its unaudited March 31, 2016 balance sheet included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2016.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2015 is presented as if the transaction was consummated on January 1, 2015, combines the historical results of LogicMark and NXT-ID for the year ended December 31, 2015 and reflects only ongoing continuing operations. The historical results of LogicMark were derived from its audited December 31, 2015 statement of operations. The historical results of NXT-ID were derived from its consolidated statement of operations included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K, for its year ended December 31, 2015.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 is presented as if the transaction was consummated on January 1, 2016, combines the historical results of LogicMark and NXT-ID for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and reflects only ongoing continuing operations. The historical results of LogicMark were derived from its unaudited three months ended March 31, 2016 statement of operations. The historical results of NXT-ID were derived from its unaudited consolidated statement of operations included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2016.

These unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been prepared based on preliminary estimates of fair values. Accordingly, the pro forma adjustments are preliminary and have been made solely for the purpose of providing unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data. Differences between these preliminary estimates and the final acquisition accounting will occur and these differences could have a material impact on the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and LogicMark’s future results of operations and financial position. The actual amounts recorded as of the completion of the transaction may differ materially from the information presented in these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements as a result of:

	●	the actual fair values of the intangible assets as well as the contingent consideration; and

	●	other changes in the LogicMark net assets that occur prior to completion of the transaction, which could cause material differences in the information presented below.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1.	Basis of Presentation

On May 17, 2016, Nxt-ID, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Interest Purchase Agreement”) with LogicMark, LLC (“LogicMark”) and the holders of all of the membership interests (the “Interests”) of LogicMark (the “Sellers”), pursuant to which the Company will acquire all of the Interests from the Sellers (the “Transaction”). The purchase price to be paid to the Sellers in the Transaction is (i) $20,000,000 in cash and (ii) $300,000 of shares (787,402 shares) of the Company’s common stock (the “Signing Shares”). In addition, the Company may be required to pay the Sellers earn-out payments of (i) up to $1,500,000 for calendar year 2016 and (ii) up to $5,000,000 for calendar year 2017 if LogicMark meets certain gross profit targets set forth in the Interest Purchase Agreement. The Signing Shares were delivered upon signing the Interest Purchase Agreement and will be retained by the Sellers regardless of whether the Transaction closes.

Additionally, upon signing the Interest Purchase Agreement the Company issued warrants (the “Warrants”) to the Sellers to acquire an aggregate of up to $600,000 of shares (1,574,803 shares) of the Company’s common stock for no additional consideration. The Warrants were originally only exercisable if the Transaction did not close by June 30, 2016. Pursuant to the Amendment, the Warrants are now exercisable either (i) on July 22, 2016, if the Transaction does not close by that date or (ii) on the closing date of the Transaction.

On July 25, 2016, NXT-ID completed the acquisition of LogicMark.

2.	Purchase Price

The preliminary estimated total purchase price of the recently completed acquisition is as follows:

Cash paid at closing	$	17,500,000
15% Seller Note		2,500,000

Contingent consideration estimated fair value		4,500,000
Fair value of shares and warrants issued		900,000


Total Preliminary Purchase consideration	$	25,400,000

The estimated purchase price may change due to changes in the fair value of contingent consideration on the closing date.

Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total purchase price is allocated to the acquired tangible and intangible assets and assumed liabilities of LogicMark based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition closing date. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, if any, is allocated to goodwill.

A preliminary allocation of the total preliminary estimated purchase price, as shown above, to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities of LogicMark based on the estimated fair values as of March 31, 2016 is as follows (in thousands):

	Preliminary Allocation of Purchase Price
Current assets	$	5,275,652
Other assets		150,752
Intangible assets: Patents and Customer relationships		10,100,000
Goodwill		10,743,731
Assumed liabilities		(870,135	)


Total	$	25,400,000

F-5

The allocation of the estimated purchase price is preliminary because the final estimated fair value of contingent purchase price consideration is not yet finalized. The purchase price allocation will remain preliminary until NXT-ID management determines the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The final determination of the purchase price allocation is anticipated to be completed as soon as practicable after completion of the acquisition and will be based on the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition closing date. The final amounts allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed could differ significantly from the amounts presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.

3.	Pro Forma and Acquisition Accounting Adjustments

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements include pro forma adjustments to give effect to certain significant capital transactions of NXT-ID occurring as a direct result of the recently completed acquisition, the acquisition of LogicMarck by NXT-ID for accounting purposes.

The pro forma adjustments are as follows:

(A)

To reflect $19.5 million of additional investment in NXT-ID.

Immediately prior to the effective time of the acquisition:

(i)

(ii)

$4.5 million of additional investment in NXT-ID will result in the issuance of preferred shares of NXT-ID.

(B)

To reflect the elimination of the Members equity and accumulated deficit of LogicMark and to reflect the estimated fair value of LogicMark assets and liabilities at the close of the acquisition referred to in Note 2 above.

(C)

To reflect the accrual of interest expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2016 assuming both the 15% Term loan and 15% Seller Note were issued beginning of the year.

(D)

To reflect the accrual of interest expenses for the year ended December 31, 2015 assuming both the 15% Term Loan and 15% Seller Note were issued beginning of the year.
