NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q, include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) which we considered as necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP) have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future periods or the full year.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Ipsidy Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries MultiPay S.A.S., ID Global LATAM S.A.S., IDGS S.A.S., ID Solutions, Inc., FIN Holdings Inc., Innovation in Motion Inc. and Cards Plus Pty Ltd. (the “Company”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Net Loss per Common Share

The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with FASB ASC 260, “Earnings per Share”. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the statement of operations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period including stock options, using the treasury stock method, and convertible notes and stock warrants, using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options, warrants and conversion of convertible notes. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. The following table illustrates the computation of basic and diluted EPS:

Going concern

As of March 31, 2017, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $57.6 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 the Company earned revenue of approximately $0.6 million and incurred a loss from operations of approximately $4.0 million.

The reports of our independent registered public accounting firms on our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 contained an explanatory paragraph regarding our ability to continue as a going concern based upon our net losses and accumulated deficits.

These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to meet its obligations and continue its operations for the next fiscal year. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon financial support from the Company’s current shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain additional equity financing to continue operations, the Company’s ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations, successfully locating and negotiating with other business entities for potential acquisition and /or acquiring new clients to generate revenues and cash flows. As there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve positive cash flows (become profitable) and raise sufficient capital to maintain operations there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Inventories

Inventory of plastic/ID cards, digital printing material, which are held by Cards Plus Pty Ltd., are at the lower of cost (using the average method) or market. The Plastic/ID cards and digital printing material are used to provide plastic loyal ID and other types of cards. Inventories at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 consist solely of cards inventory. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company did not believe an inventory valuation allowance was necessary to record inventory to net realizable value were necessary.

Leases

All leases are classified at the inception as direct finance leases or operating leases based on whether the lease transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. Leases that transfer to the lessee substantially all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the asset are classified as direct finance leases.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is probable. Revenue generally is recognized net of allowances for returns and any taxes collected from customers and subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.

Revenue from the sale of unique secure credential products and solutions to customers is recorded at the completion of the project unless the solution includes benefits to the end user in which additional resources or services are required to be provided.

Revenue from cloud-based services arrangements that allow for the use of a hosted software product or service that are provided on a consumption basis (for example, the number of transactions processed over a period of time) is recognized commensurate with the customer utilization of such resources, Generally, the contract calls for a minimum number of transactions to be charged by the Company on a monthly basis. Accordingly, the Company records the minimum transactional fee based on the passage of a month’s time as revenues. Amounts in excess of the monthly minimum, are charged to customers based on the actual number of transactions.

Consulting services revenue is recognized as services are rendered, generally based on the negotiated hourly rate in the consulting arrangement and the number of hours worked during the period. Consulting revenue for fixed-price services arrangements is recognized as services are provided.

Revenue related to direct financing leases is recognized over the term of the lease using the effective interest method.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740 “Income Taxes.” Under the asset and liability method of FASB ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under FASB ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the enactment occurs. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations. For the three months ending March 31, 2017 and 2016, there is no provision for income tax as the Company had a tax loss for United States and foreign activities and all of the Company’s carryforwards are reserved for. The Company’s gain or loss on derivative liability during three months ending March 31, 2017 and 2016 is not subject to tax.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-04 – Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which modified the goodwill impairment test and required an entity to write down the carrying value of goodwill up to the amount by which the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeded its fair value. We have not early adopted this ASU and are currently evaluating the impact on our financial statements.

In July 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815). The amendments in Part I of this Update change the classification analysis of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down round features. When determining whether certain financial instruments should be classified as liabilities or equity instruments, a down round feature no longer precludes equity classification when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The amendments also clarify existing disclosure requirements for equity-classified instruments. As a result, a freestanding equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded conversion option) no longer would be accounted for as a derivative liability at fair value as a result of the existence of a down round feature. For freestanding equity classified financial instruments, the amendments require entities that present earnings per share (EPS) in accordance with Topic 260 to recognize the effect of the down round feature when it is triggered. The effect is treated as a dividend and as a reduction of income available to common shareholders in basic EPS. Convertible instruments with embedded conversion options that have down round features are now subject to the specialized guidance for contingent beneficial conversion features (in Subtopic 470-20, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options), including related EPS guidance (in Topic 260). The amendments in Part II of this Update recharacterize the indefinite deferral of certain provisions of Topic 480 that now are presented as pending content in the Codification, to a scope exception. We are currently reviewing the potential impact to the financial statements.

NOTE 7 - NOTES PAYABLE, NET

On January 31, 2017, the Company entered into Conversion Agreements with several accredited investors (the “Investors”) pursuant to which substantially all Investors agreed to convert all amounts of notes payable and convertible notes payable (note 7) due and payable to such persons including interest under the terms of their respective financing or loan agreement as of January 31, 2017 into shares of Company common stock at $0.10 per share. Certain Investors that had a conversion price less than $0.10 converted at such applicable conversion price. The Conversion Agreements resulted in the conversion of notes and convertible notes amounting to $6,331,000 into 84,822,006 shares of Company common stock with a fair value of $21,691,000. The Investors also agreed to waive any existing rights with respect to certain anti-dilution rights contained in their Stock Purchase Warrants. The Company agreed to reduce the exercise of all outstanding Stock Purchase Warrants acquired as part of a financing or loan that had an exercise price in excess of $0.10 per share to $0.10 per share.

As a result of the above agreements associated with the conversion Agreements, the Company recorded a loss on the conversion of debt of approximately $6.0 million (including the effect of the elimination of related conversion feature derivative liabilities - see note 9), a loss on the modification of the warrants of approximately $0.2 million, and a loss on modification of the derivatives of approximately $0.3 million.

On February 22, 2017, the Company entered into an Agreement and Release (the “February 22, 2017 Agreement”) with a holder of certain debentures that will represent final and full payment of all amounts owed under these debentures which include debt with a face value of $300,000, accrued interest of approximately $31,000, cancellation of 3,600,000 warrants previously accounted for as derivative liabilities as well as certain pledged shares (2,500,000 shares) in exchange for $300,000 in cash which was paid in May 2017. As a result of the February 22, 2017 Agreement, the Company recorded a gain on the extinguishment of notes payable of approximately $2.8 million.

See notes 8 and 9.

The following is a roll-forward of the Company’s notes payable and related discounts for the three months ended March 31, 2017:

NOTE 8 - CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE, NET

The following is a roll-forward of the Company’s convertible notes and related discounts for the three months ended March 31, 2017:

NOTE 9 –DERIVATIVE LIABILITY

Due to the potential adjustment in the conversion price associated with certain of the convertible debentures and the potential adjustment in the exercise price of certain of the warrants, the Company had determined that certain conversion features and warrants are derivative liabilities.

As described in Note 7 above, the Company on January 31, 2017 entered into Conversion Agreements with Investors pursuant to which Investors agreed to convert all amounts of debt accrued and payable to such persons including interest under the terms of their respective financing or loan agreement into shares of Company common stock at $0.10 per share. Certain Investors that had a conversion price less than $0.10 converted at such applicable conversion price. The investors at the time of conversion also agreed to waive any existing rights with respect to certain price protection and anti-dilution rights contained in their Stock Purchase Warrants.

Additionally, on February 22, 2017, the Company entered into an Agreement and Release with a holder of certain debentures that will represent final and full payment of all amounts owed under such which include debt with a face value of $300,000, accrued interest of approximately $31,000, cancellation of 3,600,000 warrants (previously accounted for as derivative liabilities) as well as certain pledged shares (2,500,000 shares) in exchange for $300,000 in cash. These debentures also had potential price adjustments on these debentures that have also been eliminated.

Therefore, as a result of the conversion and repayment of the outstanding indebtedness and related accrued interest as well as the elimination of anti-dilution rights of Stock Purchase Warrants, the Company no longer holds liabilities with derivatives requiring fair value as of March 31, 2017.

A summary of derivative activity for the three months ended March 31, 2017 is as follows:

NOTE 12 – DIRECT FINACING LEASE

In September 2015, the Company and an entity in Colombia entered into a rental contract for the rental of 78 kiosks to provide cash collection and fare services at transportation stations. The lease term began in May 2016 when the kiosk were installed and operational and when the lease commenced. The term of the rental contract is ten years at an approximate monthly rental of $11,900. The lease has the option at the end of the lease term to purchase each unit for approximately $40. The term of the lease approximates the expected economic life of the kiosks. The lease was accounted for as a direct financing lease.

The Company has recorded the transaction as it net investment in the lease and will receive monthly payments of $11,856 before estimated executory costs, or $142,272, annually, to reduce investment in the lease and record income associated with the related amount due. Executory costs are estimated to be $1,677 month and initial direct costs are not considered significant. The transaction resulted in incremental revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2017 of approximately $19,000. There was no income in the first three months of 2016 as the equipment was placed into service in May 2016.

The equipment is subject to direct lease valued at approximately $748,000. At the inception of the lease term, the aggregate minimum future lease payments to be received is approximately $1,422,000 before executory cost.

The Company is not presently a party to any pending or threatened legal proceedings. 

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which we have prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate estimates and judgments, including those described in greater detail below. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

As used in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation,” except where the context otherwise requires, the term “we,” “us,” “our,” or “the Company,” refers to the business of Ipsidy Inc. and its subsidiaries.

Overview

Ipsidy Inc. together with its subsidiaries (the “Company”, “we” or “our”), is a provider of secure, biometric identification, identity management and electronic transaction processing services. In a world that is increasingly digital and mobile, our vision is to enable solutions that provide pre-transaction verification of identity as well as embed identity verification within every electronic transaction message processed through our platform or other electronic systems. We are building upon our existing capabilities in biometric identification and multi-factor identity management solutions to develop an identity transaction platform for our business customers. The platform is being designed to enable the end users of our business customers to more easily authenticate their identity to a mobile phone or portable device of their choosing (as opposed to dedicated hardware). The existing system enables participants to complete transactions with a digitally signed authentication response, including the underlying transaction data and embedded attributes of the participant’s identity.

The Company’s products currently focus on the broad requirement for identity, access and transaction verification and associated identity management needs and the requirement for cost-effective and secure mobile electronic payment solutions for institutions and their customers. We aim to offer our customers solutions that can be integrated into each customer’s business operations in order to facilitate their use and enhance the end user customer experience.

Management believes that some of the advantages of the Company’s platform approach are the ability to leverage the platform to support a variety of vertical markets including the identity management and transaction processing sectors and the adaptability of the platform to the requirements of new markets and new products requiring low cost, secure, and configurable mobile solutions. These vertical markets include but are not limited to border security, public safety, public transportation, enterprise security payment transactions and banking. 

The company was incorporated in the State of Delaware on September 21, 2011 and changed its name to Ipsidy Inc. on February 1, 2017, and our common stock is traded on the OTC Markets under the trading symbol “IDGS”. Our corporate headquarters is located at 780 Long Beach Blvd., Long Beach, NY 11561 and our main phone number is (407) 951-8640. We maintain a website at www.ipsidy.com. The contents of our website are not incorporated into, or otherwise to be regarded as part of, this Annual Report on Form 10-K. 

Key Trends

We believe that our financial results will be impacted by several market trends in the identity management and transaction processing marketplace, including growing concerns over identity theft and fraud and the increase in electronic payments, solutions provided by non-bank entities. Our results are also impacted by the changes in levels of spending on identity management and security methods, and thus, negative trends in the global economy and other factors which negatively impact such spending may negatively impact the growth our revenue from those products. The global economy has been undergoing a period of political and economic uncertainty and stock markets are experiencing high levels of volatility, and it is difficult to predict how long this uncertainty and volatility will continue.

We plan to grow our business by increasing the use of our services by our existing customers, by adding new customers by expanding into new markets and innovation. If we are successful in these efforts, we would expect our revenue to continue to grow. In addition, based on the positive trends in the international payment processing industry noted above, we anticipate that as and when more payments are made using electronic and mobile methods, such as those that we offer, our revenue would also increase. 

Going concern

As of March 31, 2017, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $57.6 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 the Company earned revenue of approximately $0.6 million and incurred a loss from operations of approximately $4.0 million.

The reports of our independent registered public accounting firms on our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 contained an explanatory paragraph regarding our ability to continue as a going concern based upon our net losses.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to meet its obligations and continue its operations for the next fiscal year. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon financial support from the Company’s current shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain additional equity financing to continue operations, the Company’s ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations, successfully locating and negotiating with other business entities for potential acquisition and /or acquiring new clients to generate revenues and cash flows.

There is no assurance that the Company will ever be profitable. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Three Month Ended March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016

Revenues, net

During the three-months ended March 31, 2017, the Company had revenues of approximately $585,000 compared to $321,000 in the three- months ended March 31, 2016. Cards Plus and ID Solutions (which were acquired on February 8, 2016) had revenue of $458,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $271,000 in the three months of 2016, an increase of $187,000.

Cost of sales

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, cost of sales were higher than the cost of sales in the three month period ended March 31, 2016 due to the revenue increase. The revenue increases were principally related to the acquisition of Cards Plus in 2016.

Operating Expenses

During the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to March 31, 2016, general and administrative expense decreased by approximately $0.1 million principally due to lower stock compensation charges (approximately $0.9 million) offset by higher staff compensation expense as staff and consulting resources were added to support the current and future operations.

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company recorded approximately $2.3 million compared to $3.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2016 for stock compensation expense.

Depreciation and amortization expense remained consistent in the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to March 31, 2016.

Other Income (Expense)

Derivative Liability and Net Loss on Modification of Debt

The derivative liability is associated with potential adjustments in the conversion price associated with certain convertible debentures and warrants that were used to finance the business. As a result of the valuation of these provisions as of March 31, 2016, the Company experienced a reduction in the derivative liability and recorded a benefit of approximately $12.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2016. The decline in the derivative liability is associated with the lower stock price.

During the first three months of 2017, the Company performed valuations of the existing liability at the applicable dates as these debentures and warrant terms and conditions were modified and/or eliminated as a result of the Company’s elimination and repayment of certain existing obligations as of January 31, 2017. In the first three months of 2017, the Company recorded an expense of approximately $0.5 million due to these valuations. Additionally, the Company recorded a gain on the extinguishment of certain notes payable (approximately $2.8 million), a loss on the modification of derivatives (approximately $0.3 million), loss on modification of warrants (approximately $0.2 million), and a loss on the conversion of debt (approximately $6.0 million). (See Notes 7 and 9).

Interest expense

Interest expense decreased in the three months ended March 31, 2017 principally due to the debt for equity conversion on January 31, 2017.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate sufficient cash to satisfy its needs for cash. As of March 31, 2017, the Company had approximately $4.9 million of cash and had approximately $3.2 million of net working capital.

Cash used in operating activities was approximately $1.2 million and $0.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016, respectively.

The Company raised approximately $7.0 million of additional financing in the first three months 2017 as the Company entered into and closed a Securities Purchase Agreement with an accredited investor pursuant to which the Company borrowed $3.0 million in consideration of a Senior Unsecured Note and an aggregate of 4.5 million shares of Common Stock.  The Senior Unsecured Note matures in January 2019 and bears interest at a rate of 10%. Additionally, on March 22, 2017, the “Company entered into Subscription Agreements with several accredited investors (the “March 2017 Accredited Investors”) pursuant to which the March 2017 Accredited Investors agreed to purchase an aggregate of 20,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $4.0 million. The Company has received proceeds of approximately $3.2 million and one individual March 2017 Accredited Investor has agreed to fund approximately $.8 million by the end of the third quarter of 2017 of which approximately $.4 million has been received as of the date of the filing of this report.

We do not have any formal commitments or arrangements for the sales of stock or the advancement or loan of funds at this time other than the amounts detailed in the subsequent events. There can be no assurance that such additional financing will be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. Our failure to obtain financing would have a material adverse effect on the organization

As described in Note 7, on January 31, 2017, the Company converted approximately $6.3 million of debt and accrued interest into 84,822,006 shares of Company common stock. All Investors that converted their debt and accrued interest to equity also agreed to waive any existing rights with respect to certain anti-dilution rights contained in their Stock Purchase Warrants. The Company agreed to reduce the exercise of all outstanding Stock Purchase Warrants acquired as part of a financing or loan that had an exercise price in excess of $0.10 per share to $0.10 per share. Additionally, on February 22, 2017, the Company entered into an Agreement and Release (“February 22, 2017 Agreement”) with a holder of certain debentures that will represent final and full payment of all amounts owed under these debentures which include debt with a face value of $300,000, accrued interest of approximately $31,000, cancellation of 3,600,000 warrants as well as the right to certain pledged shares in exchange (2,500,000 shares) for $300,000 in cash which was paid in May 2017.

The combination of the above events effectively refinanced the Company’s financial position in the first quarter of 2017 and provided near-term financing requirements. The Company anticipates additional financing will be required beyond the current actions and the amounts will be dependent on current operations and investments the Company may pursue.

Additionally, during the first three months of 2017, the Company entered into a lease that met the criteria for capitalization and resulted in a capital lease obligation of approximately $161,000 at lease inception. The payments are approximately $43,095 annually during the five year lease term.

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is deemed by our management to be material to investors.
