NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

June 30, 2009 (Unaudited)

 

1.                                       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BIO-key International, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary (collectively, the “Company”) and are stated in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).  The operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year. Pursuant to such rules and regulations, certain financial information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements have been condensed or omitted. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements contain all necessary adjustments, consisting only of those of a recurring nature, and disclosures to present fairly the Company’s financial position and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The balance sheet at December 31, 2008 was derived from the audited financial statements, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 (the “Form 10-K”) filed on March 11, 2009.

 

In connection with the preparation of the condensed financial statements and in accordance with the recently issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 165 “Subsequent Events” (“SFAS 165”), the Company evaluated subsequent events after the balance sheet date of June 30, 2009 through August 10, 2009.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - an amendment of ARB No. 51”  (SFAS No. 160) which establishes accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary.  SFAS No. 160 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim statements within those fiscal years. The Company does not currently have any non-controlling interests.

 

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” (SFAS No.161) which amends and expands the disclosure requirements related to derivative instruments and hedging activities. The Statement requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. The provisions of SFAS 161 are effective for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009. The Company will comply with the disclosure requirements of this statement since it utilizes derivative instruments.

 

In October 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset is Not Active” (FSP 157-3). FSP 157-3 clarifies the application of SFAS 157, which the Company adopted as of January 1, 2008, in cases where a market is not active. The Company will comply with the clarification to the original application.

 

In November 2008, the FASB ratified the EITF consensus on Issue No. 08-7, “Accounting for Defensive Intangible Assets” (EITF 08-7). The consensus addresses the accounting for an intangible asset acquired in a business combination or asset acquisition that an entity does not intend to use or intends to hold to prevent others from obtaining access (a defensive intangible asset). Under EITF 08-7, a defensive intangible asset needs to be accounted as a separate unit of accounting and would be assigned a useful life based on the period over which the asset diminishes in value. EITF 08-7 was effective for transactions occurring after

Table of Contents

 

December 31, 2008. The Company will consider this standard in terms of intangible assets in connection with any future acquisitions.

 

In February 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141(R)-a, “Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination that Arise from Contingencies” (SFAS No. 141(R)-a) which simplifies how entities will be required to account for contingencies arising in business combinations under SFAS 141(R) “Accounting for Business Combinations”. FASB decided to amend the guidance SFAS 141(R) to require assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies be recognized at fair value, if fair value can be reasonably estimated.  If fair value of such an asset or liability cannot be reasonably estimated, the asset or liability would be accounted for in accordance with FASB Statement No. 5 “Accounting for Contingencies” (SFAS 5). The provisions of SFAS No. 141(R)-a are applicable to business combinations consummated after January 1, 2009 for calendar year entities. The adoption of SFAS 141(R)-a will have an impact on the Company’s accounting for business combinations in connection with any future acquisitions.

 

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments” (FSP 115-2). This FSP modifies the requirements for recognizing other-than-temporarily impaired debt securities and changes the existing impairment model for such securities. The FSP also requires additional disclosures for both annual and interim periods with respect to both debt and equity securities. Under the FSP, impairment of debt securities will be considered other-than-temporary if an entity (1) intends to sell the security, (2) more likely than not will be required to sell the security before recovering its cost, or (3) does not expect to recover the security’s entire amortized cost basis (even if the entity does not intend to sell). The FSP further indicates that, depending on which of the above factor(s) causes the impairment to be considered other-than-temporary, (1) the entire shortfall of the security’s fair value versus its amortized cost basis or (2) only the credit loss portion would be recognized in earnings while the remaining shortfall (if any) would be recorded in other comprehensive income. FSP 115-2 requires entities to initially apply the provisions of the standard to previously other-than-temporarily impaired debt securities existing as of the date of initial adoption by making a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The cumulative-effect adjustment potentially reclassifies the noncredit portion of a previously other-than-temporarily impaired debt security held as of the date of initial adoption from retained earnings to accumulated other comprehensive income. This FSP is effective April 1, 2009. The adoption of FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments.” This FSP essentially expands the disclosure about fair value of financial instruments that were previously required only annually to also be required for interim period reporting. In addition, the FSP requires certain additional disclosures regarding the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments. These additional disclosures will be required beginning with the quarter ending June 30, 2009. The Company has adopted the requirements of this pronouncement effective this quarter ended June 30, 2009.

 

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (“SFAS 165”). SFAS 165 sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. SFAS 165 will be effective for interim or annual period ending after June 15, 2009 and will be applied prospectively. The Company has adopted the requirements of this pronouncement for this quarter ended June 30, 2009. In connection with the preparation of the condensed financial statements and in accordance with the recently issued SFAS 165, the Company evaluated subsequent events after the balance sheet date of June 30, 2009 through August 10, 2009.

 

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166 “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets” (“SFAS 166”). Statement 166 is a revision to FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of

Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, and will require more information about transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions, and where entities have continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. It eliminates the concept of a “qualifying special-purpose entity,” changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets, and requires additional disclosures. SFAS 166 enhances information reported to users of financial statements by providing greater transparency about transfers of financial assets and an entity’s continuing involvement in transferred financial assets. SFAS 166 will be effective at the start of a reporting entity’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2009. Early application is not permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adoption of SFAS 166 on the accounting for our convertible notes and related warrant liabilities.

 

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167 “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” (“SFAS 167”). Statement 167 is a revision to FASB Interpretation No. 46 (Revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, and changes how a reporting entity determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. The determination of whether a reporting entity is required to consolidate another entity is based on, among other things, the other entity’s purpose and design and the reporting entity’s ability to direct the activities of the other entity that most significantly impact the other entity’s economic performance. SFAS 167 will require a reporting entity to provide additional disclosures about its involvement with variable interest entities and any significant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement. A reporting entity will be required to disclose how its involvement with a variable interest entity affects the reporting entity’s financial statements. SFAS 167 will be effective at the start of a reporting entity’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2009. Early application is not permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, of adoption of SFAS 167 on our financial statements.

 

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168 “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles - A Replacement of FASB Statement No. 162” (“SFAS 168”). Statement 168 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM (Codification) as the single source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants. SFAS 168 and the Codification are effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. When effective, the Codification will supersede all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other nongrandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become nonauthoritative. Following SFAS 168, the FASB will not issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions, or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts. Instead, the FASB will issue Accounting Standards Updates, which will serve only to: (a) update the Codification; (b) provide background information about the guidance; and (c) provide the bases for conclusions on the change(s) in the Codification. The adoption of SFAS 168 will not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

2.                                       LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCE MATTERS

 

We have incurred significant losses to date, and at June 30, 2009, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $54.5 million. While our Law Enforcement business operates in a mature market, the potential for significant growth of the Company as a whole is largely dependent upon market development and market acceptance of our biometric technology.

 

If the Company is unable to generate revenues as planned, we will need to obtain additional third-party financing to (i) conduct the sales, marketing and technical support necessary to execute our plan to substantially grow operations, increase revenue and serve a significant customer base; and (ii) provide working capital. No assurance can be given that any form of additional financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, that adequate financing will be obtained by the Company in order to meet its

needs, or that such financing would not be dilutive to existing shareholders.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern, and assumes continuity of operations, realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.  Recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying balance sheets is dependent upon the Company’s ability to meet its financing requirements on a continuing basis, and maintain profitability in its future operations. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.

 

3.                                       DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

 

On May 22, 2007, the Company and ZOLL Data Systems, Inc. (“ZOLL”), a subsidiary of ZOLL Medical Corporation, entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which ZOLL acquired substantially all of the assets related to the Company’s Fire/EMS Services division (the “Fire Segment” or “Fire”).

 

At the closing of the sale, the Company received approximately $1.8 million in cash, which represented the purchase price of $7 million, less closing adjustments of approximately $4.3 million, which was paid to the Senior Noteholder (see Note 9), approximately $450,000, which was paid to the leaseholder of the Company’s premises, $400,000, which was placed in escrow pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, and approximately $40,000 credited to Zoll on the assumption of certain liabilities.

 

During the quarter ended September 30, 2007, $250,000 of the escrow balance was released to ZOLL. The remaining escrow balance was remitted to the Company May 6, 2008.  From the remaining balance, $50,000 was paid as a settlement of a customer claim associated with the discontinued Fire business, and $15,454 was paid as related professional fees to settle the claim which resulted in the $65,454 loss .

 

Prior to the sale, Fire had been reported as a separate segment. The Company sold its Fire operating segment to better focus on its core lines of business. The Fire business has been reported as a discontinued operation in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” and all periods presented have been recast accordingly to reflect these operations as discontinued.

 

Revenues and net income (loss) for the Fire Segment for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were as follows:

4.                                       SHARE BASED COMPENSATION

 

The Company accounts for share based compensation in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R, which requires measurement of compensation cost for all stock awards at fair value on date of grant and recognition of compensation over the service period for awards expected to vest. The majority of our share-based compensation arrangements vest over either three or four years. The Company expenses its share-based compensation under the ratable method, which treats each vesting tranche as if it were an individual grant. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model, and requires the input of highly subjective assumptions. These assumptions include estimating the length of time

Table of Contents

 

employees will retain their vested stock options before exercising them (the “expected option term”), the estimated volatility of our common stock price over the option’s expected term, the risk-free interest rate over the option’s expected term, and the Company’s expected annual dividend yield. Changes in these subjective assumptions can materially affect the estimate of fair value of stock-based compensation and consequently, the related amount recognized as an expense in the consolidated statements of operations. As required under the accounting rules, we review our valuation assumptions at each grant date and, as a result, are likely to change our valuation assumptions used to value employee stock-based awards granted in future periods. The values derived from using the Black-Scholes model are recognized as expense over the service period, net of estimated forfeitures (the number of individuals that will ultimately not complete their vesting requirements). The estimation of stock awards that will ultimately vest requires significant judgment. We consider many factors when estimating expected forfeitures, including types of awards, employee class, and historical experience. Actual results, and future changes in estimates, may differ substantially from our current estimates.

 

The compensation expense recognized under SFAS 123R increased the Company’s loss from continuing operations by $13,112 and $65,408 with no effect per share (basic and diluted) for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 respectively, and $65,408 and $332,201 with 0.00 and $0.01 effect per share (basic and diluted), for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 respectively.

 

The following table presents share-based compensation expenses for continuing operations included in the Company’s unaudited condensed interim consolidated statements of operations:

Valuation Assumptions for Stock Options

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, 15,000 and 564,272 stock options were granted, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, 790,000 and 564,272 stock options were granted, respectively. The fair value of each option was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

The stock volatility for each grant is determined based on the review of the experience of the weighted average of historical daily price changes of the Company’s common stock over the expected option term. The expected term was determined using the simplified method for estimating expected option life, which qualify as “plain-vanilla” options; and the risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods corresponding with the expected life of the option.

 

EQUITY COMPENSATION PLAN INFORMATION

 

1996 Stock Option Plan

 

During 1996, the Board of Directors and stockholders of the Company adopted the 1996 Stock Option Plan (the “1996 Plan”). Under the 1996 Plan, 750,000 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance to employees, officers, directors, and consultants of the Company at exercise prices which may not be below 100% of fair market value for incentive stock options and 50% for all others. The term of stock options granted may not exceed ten years. Options issued under the 1996 Plan vest pursuant to the terms of stock option agreements with the recipients. In the event of a change in control, as defined, all options outstanding vest immediately. The 1996 Plan expired in May 2005.

 

1999 Stock Option Plan

 

During 1999, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the 1999 Stock Option Plan (the “1999 Plan”). The 1999 Plan was not presented to stockholders for approval and thus incentive stock options are not available under the plan. Under the 1999 Plan, 2,000,000 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance to employees, officers, directors, and consultants of the Company at exercise prices which may not be below 85% of fair market value. The term of non-statutory stock options granted may not exceed ten years. Options issued under the 1999 Plan vest pursuant to the terms of stock option agreements with the recipients. In the event of a change in control, as defined, all options outstanding vest immediately. The 1999 Plan expires in August 2009.

 

2004 Stock Option Plan

 

On October 12, 2004, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the 2004 Stock Option Plan (the “2004 Plan”). The 2004 Plan has not yet been presented to stockholders for approval and thus incentive stock options are not available under this plan. Under the terms of the 2004 Plan, 4,000,000 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance to employees, officers, directors, and consultants of the Company at exercise prices which may not be below 85% of fair market value. The term of stock options granted may not exceed ten years. Options issued under the 2004 Plan vest pursuant to the terms of stock option agreements with the recipients. In the event of a change in control, as defined, all options outstanding vest immediately. The 2004 Plan expires in October 2014.

 

Non-Plan Stock Options

 

Periodically, the Company has granted options outside of the 1996, 1999, and 2004 Plans to various employees and consultants. In the event of change in control, as defined, certain of the non-plan options outstanding vest immediately.

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total intrinsic value, based on the Company’s closing stock price of $0.105 as of June 30, 2009, which would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options as of that date. The total number of in-the-money options exercisable as of June 30, 2009 was 790,000.

 

The weighted average fair value of options, as determined under SFAS No.123R, granted during the three months ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008 was $0.05 and $0.07 per share, respectively, and during the six months ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008 was 0.057 and $0.07 per share, respectively.

 

As of June 30, 2009 future compensation cost related to nonvested stock options is approximately $44,908 and will be recognized over an estimated weighted average period of approximately 1.17 years.

5.                                       EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE COMMON STOCK (“EPS”)

 

The Company’s basic EPS is calculated using net income (loss) available to common shareholders and the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted EPS includes the effect from potential issuance of common stock, such as stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options and warrants and the assumed conversion of convertible notes and preferred stock. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, diluted per share computations are not presented since this effect would be antidilutive.

 

The reconciliation of the numerators of the basic and diluted EPS calculations was as follows for both of the following three and six month periods ended June 30:

During 2008, the Company extended its property lease at the Marlborough, MA location. Pursuant to the agreement BIO-key was to maintain a security deposit in the form of an irrevocable letter of credit in the amount of $40,500. However, BIO-key and the landlord for the property subsequently agreed to have BIO-key place the funds in a third party escrow account, to be returned at the conclusion of the lease term, in August 2011. The escrow is recorded as the non-current asset restricted cash as at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

On July 28, 2008, the Company entered into a Settlement and Mutual Release Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with a vendor in order to resolve all matters relating to invoices totaling approximately $2,350,000 that the Company received in January 2008 for materials that had been delivered by the vendor, as a subcontractor on a long-term project for which the Company had served as the prime contractor.  Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the parties agreed to a payment schedule under which the Company will be required to satisfy this outstanding balance, plus interest at seven percent (7%) per annum on the unpaid portion of the balance, in full on or before June 1, 2009.  In return, the vendor agreed to forbear from exercising any of its rights and remedies against the Company with respect to these amounts so long as the Company remains in compliance with its obligations under the Settlement Agreement.  On April 1, 2009 the Company entered into an Amendment Agreement which amended this payment schedule by increasing the interest rate to ten percent (10%) per annum as of April 1, 2009 and extending the date of final payment to October 1, 2009.

11.                                 REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK

 

Series B Convertible Preferred Stock

 

The Company issued 1,000,000 shares of redeemable Series B Convertible Preferred Stock on February 23, 2006, upon the conversion of certain convertible term notes. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock has an Original Issue Price of $1.00 per share. The holder has the option to redeem the shares of Series B Preferred Stock at any time for a number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the Original Issue Price plus accumulated and unpaid dividends divided by the fixed conversion price of $0.30 per share of Common Stock. The conversion price is subject to adjustment if common stock is issued by the Company subsequent to the original issue date of the Series B preferred stock, except for other conversions, options, warrants, dividends paid in stock or pursuant to an acquisition by the Company, at a price less than the conversion price. Mandatory conversion of all Series B shares will be automatic if, for the 30 trading days prior to January 1, 2009, the average closing bid price for one share of common stock is at least $1.10. The shares shall be converted at the conversion price then in effect. If the average bid price for the 30 trading days prior to January 1, 2009 per common share is less than $1.10 the Company shall mandatorily redeem all remaining outstanding Series B Preferred Stock by paying cash equal to $1.00 per share with all accrued and unpaid dividends.  The Company may, at its election, redeem any or all of the remaining outstanding Series B shares in cash at a conversion price equal to $1.20 per share, together with all accrued

and unpaid dividends upon giving 30 days’ notice. Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to cumulative, prior and in preference to holders of common stock dividends equal to 15% per annum of the Original Purchase Price still outstanding, payable quarterly. In any liquidation of the Company, each share of Preferred Stock is entitled to a liquidation preference on a pari passu basis with the Series A and Series C Preferred Stock before any distribution may be made on the Company’s common stock.

 

The mandatory redemption features were triggered in January 2009 due to the passing of the applicable mandatory redemption dates and the price of the Company’s common stock, as reported by the OTC Bulletin Board, trading below the applicable thresholds contained in the terms of the Preferred Stock. Absent a waiver from the holders of the Preferred Stock, the Company would therefore be required to redeem its outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, to the extent that the Company is legally permitted to do so, by paying cash to the holders of such shares in accordance with the terms of such Preferred Stock. The Company is continuing to accrue dividends at the default rate of 17%.

 

As of June 30, 2009, 1,000,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock were authorized, 970,612 of which were issued and outstanding, at a par value of $0.0001 and a liquidation preference of $1.00 with accumulated dividends in arrears of $41,709, which have been accreted to the principal balance of the Series B Preferred Stock.

 

The Preferred Stock contains features that are considered embedded derivative financial instruments:  Preferred Stock’s conversion option:  The Preferred Stock is convertible at the Holder’s option at any time at the fixed conversion price of $0.30 per share; Quarterly Dividends Conversion Option:  Holders have the option to convert the Stock’s quarterly dividend payment at a conversion price of the average 10 days closing price prior to the dividend record date.  These features have been bifurcated and recorded on the Company’s balance sheet as liabilities at their fair value.

 

As of June 30, 2009, the conversion related derivatives were valued at $1,326, since changes from the standard calculations did not reflect the subsequent event valuations.   See also Note 16 to these Financial Statements for details regarding a related transaction.

 

Series C Convertible Preferred Stock

 

The Company issued 592,032 shares of redeemable Series C Convertible Preferred Stock on August 10, 2006, upon the exchange of certain convertible term notes. Each share of Series C Preferred Stock has an Original Issue Price of $10.00 per share. The holder has the option to redeem the shares of Series C Preferred Stock at any time for a number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the Original Issue Price plus accumulated and unpaid dividends divided by the fixed conversion price of $0.30 per share of Common Stock. The conversion price is subject to adjustment if common stock is issued by the Company subsequent to the original issue date of the Series C Preferred Stock, except for other conversions, options, warrants, dividends paid in stock or pursuant to an acquisition by the Company, at a price less than the conversion price. Mandatory conversion of all Series C shares will be automatic if, for the 30 trading days prior to January 1, 2009, the average closing bid price for one share of common stock is at least $1.20. The shares shall be converted at the conversion price then in effect. If the average bid price for the 30 trading days prior to January 1, 2009 per common share is less than $1.20 the Company shall mandatorily redeem all remaining outstanding Series C Preferred Stock by paying cash equal to $10.00 per share with all accrued and unpaid dividends.  The Company may, at its election, redeem any or all of the remaining outstanding Series C shares in cash at a conversion price equal to $12.00 per share, together with all accrued and unpaid dividends upon giving 30 days’ notice. Holders of the Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to cumulative, prior and in preference to holders of common stock dividends equal to 15% per annum of the Original Purchase Price still outstanding, payable quarterly. In any liquidation of the Company, each share of Preferred Stock is entitled to a liquidation preference on a pari passu basis with the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock before any distribution may be made on the Company’s common stock.

 

The mandatory redemption features were triggered in January 2009 due to the passing of the applicable mandatory redemption dates and the price of the Company’s common stock, as reported by the OTC

Bulletin Board, trading below the applicable thresholds contained in the terms of the Preferred Stock.  Absent a waiver from the holders of the Preferred Stock, the Company would therefore be required to redeem its outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, to the extent that the Company is legally permitted to do so, by paying cash to the holders of such shares in accordance with the terms of such Preferred Stock. The Company is continuing to accrue dividends at the default rate of 17%.

 

As of June 30, 2009, 600,000 Shares of Series C Preferred Stock were authorized, 592,032 of which were issued and outstanding, at a par value of $0.0001 and a liquidation preference of $10.00 with accumulated dividends in arrears of $679,295, which have been accreted to the principal balance of the Series C Preferred Stock.

 

The Preferred Stock contains features that are considered embedded derivative financial instruments:  Preferred Stock’s conversion option:  The Preferred Stock is convertible at the Holder’s option at any time at the fixed conversion price of $0.30 per share; Quarterly Dividends Conversion Option:  Holders have the option to convert the Stock’s quarterly dividend payment at a conversion price of the average 10 days closing price prior to the dividend record date.  These features have been bifurcated and recorded on the Company’s balance sheet as liabilities, at their fair value.

 

As of June 30, 2009, the conversion related derivatives were  valued at $6,740 since changes from the standard calculations did not reflect the subsequent event valuations.   See also Note 16 to these Financial Statements for details regarding a related transaction.

 

12.                                 STOCKHOLDERS DEFICIT

 

Common Stock

 

The Company is authorized to issue 170,000,000 shares of common stock, $.0001 par value per share, of which 72,650,096 were outstanding as of June 30, 2009.

 

Holders of common stock have equal rights to receive dividends when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds legally available therefor. Holders of common stock have one vote for each share held of record and do not have cumulative voting rights.

 

Holders of common stock are entitled, upon liquidation of the Company, to share ratably in the net assets available for distribution, subject to the rights, if any, of holders of any preferred stock then outstanding. Shares of common stock are not redeemable and have no preemptive or similar rights. All outstanding shares of common stock are fully paid and nonassessable.

 

During the three months and the six months ended June 30, 2009, preferred stockholders converted accumulated dividends of $294,141 into 2,971,215 shares and accumulated dividends of $443,707 into 4,773,216 shares of the Company’s common stock respectively.

 

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

 

Within the limits and restrictions provided in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, the Board of Directors has the authority, without further action by the shareholders, to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $.0001 par value per share, in one or more series, and to fix, as to any such series, any dividend rate, redemption price, preference on liquidation or dissolution, sinking fund terms, conversion rights, voting rights, and any other preference or special rights and qualifications.

 

In March 2004, we designated 100,000 shares of preferred stock as Series C Convertible Preferred Stock. In connection with the Company’s reincorporation in Delaware on January 1, 2005, each share of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock was automatically converted into one share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Shares”), of which 30,557 were issued and outstanding June 30, 2009.

 

19



Table of Contents

 

The Series A Shares accrue a cumulative annual dividend of 7% on the $100 face amount of such shares payable June 15 and December 15 each year in shares of common stock. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the Series A shares have a liquidation preference of $100 per share (plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon) prior to any payment or distribution to holders of our common stock. The Series A Shares are convertible into common stock at a conversion price of $0.30 per share. The conversion price is subject to proportional adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends or reclassifications. Subject to certain exceptions, in the event we issue additional shares of common stock at a purchase price less than the conversion price of the Series A Shares, the conversion price shall be lowered to such lesser price. In the event that the average closing bid price of our common stock is less than $1.00 per share for thirty (30) consecutive trading days at any time after November 17, 2008, we will be required to redeem the Series A Shares by payment of $100 per share plus all accrued and unpaid dividends due thereon.

 

The mandatory redemption features were triggered in January 2009 due to the passing of the applicable mandatory redemption dates and the price of the Company’s common stock, as reported by the OTC Bulletin Board, trading below the applicable thresholds contained in the terms of the Preferred Stock. Absent a waiver from the holders of the Preferred Stock, the Company would therefore be required to redeem its outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, to the extent that the Company is legally permitted to do so, by paying cash to the holders of such shares in accordance with the terms of such Preferred Stock. The Company is continuing to accrue dividends at the default rate of 9%.

 

We are required to obtain the consent of the holders of a majority of the Series A Shares in order to, among other things, issue any shares of preferred stock that are equal to or have a preference over the Series A shares or issue any shares of preferred stock, rights, options, warrants, or any other securities convertible into common stock of the Company, other than those issued to employees of the Company in the ordinary course of their employment or to consultants or other persons providing services to the Company so long as such issuances do not exceed 500,000 shares of common stock. We are also required to obtain such consent in order to, among other things, complete a sale or other disposition of any material assets, complete an acquisition of a material amount of assets, engage in a merger, reorganization or consolidation, or incur or guaranty any indebtedness in excess of $50,000.

 

As of June 30, 2009, cumulative dividends in arrears related to the Series A preferred stock were approximately $599,687, which have been accreted to the principal balance of the Series A preferred stock.

14.                                 SEGMENT INFORMATION

 

The Company’s consolidated operations are divided into two segments: Law and Biometric. The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based on revenues and operating income (loss). Operating income (loss) for each segment includes selling, general and administrative expenses directly attributable to the segment in addition to those allocated as a percentage based on the segment’s budgeted revenues. The segmentation of operating income (loss) as noted above and detailed below reflects how management now evaluates its business.  Assets for the Company are commingled and are related to all operating segments. Management does not evaluate or identify the operating assets of the segments separately.

 

Geographically, North American sales accounted for approximately 98% and 99% of the Company’s total sales for the three month periods and 99% and 98% for the six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 respectively.

15.                                 INCOME TAXES

 

The Company has adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for the Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN No. 48”). FIN No. 48 requires that the impact of tax positions be recognized in the financial statements if they are more likely than not of being sustained based on the technical merits of the position. The Company has a valuation allowance against the full amount of its net deferred taxes. The Company currently provides a valuation allowance against deferred taxes when it is more likely than not that some portion, or all of its deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

As a result of the implementation of FIN No. 48, the Company reduced its deferred tax assets and the associated valuation allowance for gross unrecognized tax affected benefits by approximately $4,100,000. There was no adjustment to accumulated deficit as a result of these unrecognized tax benefits since there was a full valuation allowance against the related deferred tax assets. If these unrecognized tax benefits are ultimately recognized, they would have no impact on the effective tax rate due to the existence of the valuation allowance.

 

The Company has not been audited by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) or any states in connection with income taxes. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. The periods from 2006-2008 remain open to examination by the IRS and state jurisdictions. The Company believes it is not subject to any tax risk beyond the preceding discussion. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. The Company does not have any accrued interest or penalty associated with any unrecognized tax benefits, nor was any significant interest expense recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.

 

16.                                 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

Effective as of July 2, 2009, the Company entered into a Settlement and Mutual Release Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with Longview Special Finance, Inc. and Longview Fund, L.P. (collectively, the “Longview Entities”) in order to resolve all matters relating to the litigation initiated by the Longview Entities earlier this year, in which they  were seeking $2,886,563 in damages and an unspecified amount of

Table of Contents

 

interest and attorney’s fees from the Company as a result of the Company’s alleged improper failure to redeem their outstanding shares of the Company’s Convertible Preferred Stock (collectively, the “Shares”) in accordance with the terms and conditions of such preferred stock.  Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, without admission of any liability or fault, the parties agreed to a payment schedule under which the Company is required to pay a total cash settlement amount of $2,164,922, fifty percent (50%) of which was paid on July 7, 2009.  The remaining portion of the settlement amount will bear interest at seventeen percent (17%) per annum and is required to be paid in full on or before October 30, 2009.  In return, the Longview Entities agreed to a full and complete release of the Company from all claims that were or could have been alleged in the lawsuit and agreed to relinquish all of the Shares upon receiving final payment of the settlement amount.

 

On July 7, 2009, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note (the “Note”) in the aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 to the Shaar Fund, Ltd.  The Note will bear interest at eight percent (8%) per annum and is due and payable on November 4, 2009.

PSG’s primary technology is PocketCop™, a handheld solution that provides mobile officers, such as detectives who are not typically in their vehicles, a hand-held mobile information software solution.

 

Also in 2004, BIO-key completed a transaction with Aether Systems, Inc. to purchase its Mobile Government Division (“Mobile Government” or “AMG”), a leading provider of wireless data solutions for use by public safety organizations, primarily state, local police, fire and rescue and emergency medical services organizations. Our PacketCluster mobile information software is integrated with 50 separate State/NCIC databases, as well as other state, local and federal databases. Its open architecture and its published Application Programming Interface (API) make it easy to interface with a wide range of information sources. PacketCluster products deliver real-time information in seconds, freeing dispatchers to handle more pressing emergencies.

 

In 2007, BIO-key completed a transaction with ZOLL Data Systems, Inc. (“ZOLL”), a subsidiary of ZOLL Medical Corporation, in which ZOLL acquired substantially all of the assets related to the Company’s Fire/EMS Services division.

 

As a result of these transactions, we have organized the Company into two reporting segments:  Law Enforcement and Biometrics. Law Enforcement’s mobile wireless technology provides first responders with critical, reliable, real-time data and images from local, state and national databases. Biometric’s high performance, scalable, cost-effective and easy-to-deploy biometric fingerprint identification technology

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

For detailed information on our critical accounting policies and estimates, see our financial statements and notes thereto included in this Report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2008.  There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from those disclosed in our 10-K filed on March 11, 2009.

 

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - an amendment of ARB No. 51”  (SFAS No. 160) which establishes accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary.  SFAS No. 160 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim statements within those fiscal years. The Company does not currently have any non-controlling interests.

 

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” (SFAS No.161) which amends and expands the disclosure requirements related to derivative instruments and hedging activities. The Statement requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. The provisions of SFAS 161 are effective for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009. The Company will comply with the disclosure requirements of this statement if it utilizes derivative instruments or engages in hedging activities upon its effectiveness.

 

In October 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset is Not Active” (FSP 157-3). FSP 157-3 clarifies the application of SFAS 157, which the Company adopted as of January 1, 2008, in cases where a market is not active. The Company will comply with the clarification to the original application.

 

In November 2008, the FASB ratified the EITF consensus on Issue No. 08-7, “Accounting for Defensive Intangible Assets” (EITF 08-7). The consensus addresses the accounting for an intangible asset acquired in a business combination or asset acquisition that an entity does not intend to use or intends to hold to prevent others from obtaining access (a defensive intangible asset). Under EITF 08-7, a defensive intangible asset needs to be accounted as a separate unit of accounting and would be assigned a useful life based on the period over which the asset diminishes in value. EITF 08-7 was effective for transactions occurring after December 31, 2008. The Company will consider this standard in terms of intangible assets in connection with any future acquisitions.

 

In February 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141(R)-a, “Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination that Arise from Contingencies” (SFAS No. 141(R)-a) which simplifies how entities will be required to account for contingencies arising in business combinations under SFAS 141(R) “Accounting for Business Combinations”. FASB decided to amend the guidance SFAS 141(R) to require assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies be recognized at fair value, if fair value can be reasonably estimated.  If fair value of such an asset or liability cannot be reasonably estimated, the asset or liability would be accounted for in accordance with FASB Statement No. 5 “Accounting for Contingencies” (SFAS 5). The provisions of SFAS No. 141(R)-a are applicable to business combinations consummated after January 1, 2009 for calendar year entities. The

 

25



Table of Contents

 

adoption of SFAS 141(R)-a will have an impact on the Company’s accounting for business combinations in connection with any future acquisitions.

 

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments” (FSP 115-2). This FSP modifies the requirements for recognizing other-than-temporarily impaired debt securities and changes the existing impairment model for such securities. The FSP also requires additional disclosures for both annual and interim periods with respect to both debt and equity securities. Under the FSP, impairment of debt securities will be considered other-than-temporary if an entity (1) intends to sell the security, (2) more likely than not will be required to sell the security before recovering its cost, or (3) does not expect to recover the security’s entire amortized cost basis (even if the entity does not intend to sell). The FSP further indicates that, depending on which of the above factor(s) causes the impairment to be considered other-than-temporary, (1) the entire shortfall of the security’s fair value versus its amortized cost basis or (2) only the credit loss portion would be recognized in earnings while the remaining shortfall (if any) would be recorded in other comprehensive income. FSP 115-2 requires entities to initially apply the provisions of the standard to previously other-than-temporarily impaired debt securities existing as of the date of initial adoption by making a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The cumulative-effect adjustment potentially reclassifies the noncredit portion of a previously other-than-temporarily impaired debt security held as of the date of initial adoption from retained earnings to accumulated other comprehensive income. This FSP is effective April 1, 2009. The adoption of FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments.” This FSP essentially expands the disclosure about fair value of financial instruments that were previously required only annually to also be required for interim period reporting. In addition, the FSP requires certain additional disclosures regarding the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments. These additional disclosures will be required beginning with the quarter ending June 30, 2009. The Company has adopted the requirements of this pronouncement effective this quarter ended June 30, 2009.

 

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (“SFAS 165”). SFAS 165 sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. SFAS 165 will be effective for interim or annual period ending after June 15, 2009 and will be applied prospectively. The Company has adopted the requirements of this pronouncement for this quarter ended June 30, 2009 and will evaluate subsequent events through the day of filing each financial statement.

 

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166 “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets” (“SFAS 166”). Statement 166 is a revision to FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, and will require more information about transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions, and where entities have continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. It eliminates the concept of a “qualifying special-purpose entity,” changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets, and requires additional disclosures. SFAS 166 enhances information reported to users of financial statements by providing greater transparency about transfers of financial assets and an entity’s continuing involvement in transferred financial assets.
SFAS 166 will be effective at the start of a reporting entity’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2009. Early application is not permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adoption of SFAS 166 on the accounting for our convertible notes and related warrant liabilities.

 

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167 “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” (“SFAS 167”). Statement 167 is a revision to FASB Interpretation No. 46 (Revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, and changes how a reporting entity determines when an entity that is

 

26



Table of Contents

 

insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. The determination of whether a reporting entity is required to consolidate another entity is based on, among other things, the other entity’s purpose and design and the reporting entity’s ability to direct the activities of the other entity that most significantly impact the other entity’s economic performance. SFAS 167 will require a reporting entity to provide additional disclosures about its involvement with variable interest entities and any significant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement. A reporting entity will be required to disclose how its involvement with a variable interest entity affects the reporting entity’s financial statements. SFAS 167 will be effective at the start of a reporting entity’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2009. Early application is not permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, of adoption of SFAS 167 on our financial statements.

 

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168 “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles - A Replacement of FASB Statement No. 162” (“SFAS 168”). Statement 168 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM (Codification) as the single source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants. SFAS 168 and the Codification are effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. When effective, the Codification will supersede all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other nongrandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become nonauthoritative. Following SFAS 168, the FASB will not issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions, or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts. Instead, the FASB will issue Accounting Standards Updates, which will serve only to: (a) update the Codification; (b) provide background information about the guidance; and (c) provide the bases for conclusions on the change(s) in the Codification. The adoption of SFAS 168 will not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

For the three months ended June 30, 2009, derivative and warrant fair value adjustments decreased, when compared to the 2008 period, due to changes in the fair market value of embedded derivatives and detachable warrants issued with convertible debt issued in 2004 and 2005, as well as additional derivatives recorded as a result of financings in 2006. The fair value of the derivatives will fluctuate based on our stock price on the valuation date, the debt conversion price, the volatility of our stock price over a period of time, changes in the value of the risk free interest rate and the time to maturity of the outstanding instruments at different points in time.

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2009, the increase in the interest expense was attributable to the note payable.  The corresponding three month period ending June 30, 2008 included lesser, non-cash interest charges included in the calculations for the amortization of deferred rent.

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, derivative and warrant fair value adjustments increased, when compared to the 2008 period, due to changes in the fair market value of embedded derivatives and detachable warrants issued with convertible debt issued in 2004 and 2005, as well as additional derivatives recorded as a result of financings in 2006. The fair value of the derivatives will fluctuate based on our stock price on the valuation date, the debt conversion price, the volatility of our stock price over a period of time, changes in the value of the risk free interest rate, and the time to maturity of the outstanding instruments at different points in time.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the increase in the interest expense was attributable to the Note Payable.  The corresponding six month period ending June 30, 2008 included lesser, non-cash interest charges included in the calculations for the amortization of deferred rent.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, net cash used in operations was approximately $1,088,000.  The cash used for continuing operations was primarily due to the following items:

 

·                  Negative cash flow due to a increase in accounts receivable of approximately $449,000,

 

·                  Positive cash flow due to a decrease in cost and earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts of approximately $145,000,

Table of Contents

 

·                  Negative cash flows from a slight increase in accounts payable offset by a decrease accrued liabilities of approximately $100,000,

 

·                  Negative cash flows from a decrease in note payable of approximately $1,230,308,

 

·                  Negative cash flows from a decrease in deferred revenue of approximately $269,000 due to the timing of billings.

 

The following non-cash items reflected in the Company’s statement of operations are used to reconcile the net loss to the net cash used in operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2009:

 

·                  The Company issued notes in 2004, 2005 and 2006 and preferred stock in 2006, all of which contained embedded derivatives, and associated warrants. In 2009, the Company recognized a loss of approximately $55,000 related to the increase in value of the derivatives and associated warrants. The increase in value is driven mainly by the increase in value of the underlying BIO-key stock.

 

·                  The Company recorded approximately $272,000 of charges in 2009 for the expense of amortizing intangible assets.

 

·                  The Company recorded approximately $65,000 of charges in 2009 for the expense of issuing options to employees for services.

 

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was approximately $24,000, used in capital expenditures to upgrade computers.

 

Working capital deficit at June 30, 2009 was approximately $3,316,000, as compared to a deficit of approximately $4,103,000 at December 31, 2008, the improvement of which was driven mainly by the reduction of note payable.

 

Since January 7, 1993 (date of inception), our capital needs have been principally met through proceeds from the sale of equity and debt securities.

 

We do not expect any material capital expenditures during the next twelve months.

 

We do not currently maintain a line of credit or term loan with any commercial bank or other financial institution.

 

Liquidity outlook

 

At June 30, 2009 our total of cash and cash equivalents was $563,559 as compared to $1,712,912 at December 31, 2008.

 

For approximately the past 18 months the Company has financed itself with internal funds generated from operations. Previously,  the Company had financed itself through access to the capital markets by issuing debt securities, convertible preferred stock and common stock. We currently require approximately $900,000 per month, to conduct our operations. During the first six months of 2009, we generated approximately $5,805,000 of revenue and achieved profitability for the six months ended June 30, 2009.   While the Company expects to remain profitable through the remainder of 2009, there can be no assurance that we will.

 

The Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock was redeemable in cash by the stockholders within 10 days after December 31, 2008, since certain stock price performance conditions were not met. This obligation is still outstanding and continues to accrue dividends at an increased default rate.

Table of Contents

 

In addition, the Company’s Series B and Series C Convertible Preferred Stock were redeemable in cash by the stockholders during the first quarter of 2009, since certain stock price performance conditions were not met. These obligations are still outstanding and continue to accrue dividends at an increased default rate.

 

The Company has received waivers from the holders of 64% of the outstanding preferred shares, representing 89% of the outstanding shares other than the shares held by Longview Special Finance, Inc. and Longview Fund, L.P.  See note 16 for subsequent related liability.

 

If we are unable to generate sufficient revenue to meet our goals, we will need to obtain additional third-party financing to (i) conduct the sales, marketing and technical support necessary to execute our plan to substantially grow operations, increase revenue and serve a significant customer base; and (ii) provide working capital. Therefore, we will need to obtain additional financing through the issuance of debt or equity securities, or to restructure our financial position through similar transactions to those consummated during 2006 and 2007.

 

The Company has entered into a Settlement Agreement with Longview Special Finance, Inc. and Longview Fund, L.P whereby we are required to pay a total of $2,164,922 by October 30, 2009.  We have taken out an unsecured promissory note with the Shaar Fund, Ltd., due and payable on November 4, 2009, to pay half of the obligation on July 7, 2009.  The balance of the Settlement agreement is accruing interest at seventeen percent (17%) per annum and the promissory note is accruing interest at eight percent (8%) per annum.

 

Due to several factors, including our history of losses and limited revenue, our former and current independent auditors have included an explanatory paragraph in opinions they have previously issued related to our annual financial statements as to the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our long-term viability and growth will depend upon the successful commercialization of our technologies and our ability to obtain adequate financing. In addition, the recent financial crisis in the global capital markets and the current negative global economic trends have had an adverse impact on market participants including, among other things, volatility in security prices, diminished liquidity, and

 

limited access to financing.  These events could, therefore, affect our efforts to commercialize our technology and to obtain adequate financing.  In particular, these conditions could impact the ability and willingness of our current and prospective customers to make investments in our technology and pay their obligations to us. To the extent that we require such additional financing, no assurance can be given that any form of additional financing will be available on terms acceptable to us, that adequate financing will be obtained to meet our needs, or that such financing would not be dilutive to existing stockholders. If available financing is insufficient or we fail to continue to generate meaningful revenue, we may be required to further reduce operating expenses, delay the expansion of operations, be unable to pursue merger or acquisition candidates, or continue as a going concern.
