IMAGEWARE
SYSTEMS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF
BUSINESS
Overview
As
used in this Quarterly Report, “we,” “us,”
“our,” “ImageWare,” “ImageWare
Systems,” “Company” or “our Company”
refers to ImageWare Systems, Inc. and all of its subsidiaries.
ImageWare Systems, Inc. is incorporated in the state of Delaware.
The Company is a pioneer and leader in the emerging market for
biometrically enabled software-based identity management solutions.
Using those human characteristics that are unique to us all, the
Company creates software that provides a highly reliable indication
of a person’s identity. The Company’s
“flagship” product is the patented IWS Biometric
Engine®. The Company’s products are used to manage and
issue secure credentials, including national IDs, passports, driver
licenses and access control credentials. The Company’s
products also provide law enforcement with integrated mug shot,
fingerprint LiveScan and investigative capabilities. The Company
also provides comprehensive authentication security software using
biometrics to secure physical and logical access to facilities or
computer networks or internet sites. Biometric technology is now an
integral part of all markets the Company addresses, and all the
products are integrated into the IWS Biometric
Engine.
Recent Developments
In May 2019, the Company completed a registered
direct offering of 5,954,545 shares of its common stock, $0.01 par
value (“Common
Stock”) at a price of
$1.10 per share, resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of
approximately $6,550,000. Net proceeds to the Company were
approximately $6,095,000 after recognition of offering
expenses.
Liquidity, Going Concern and Management’s Plan
Historically, our principal sources of cash have
included customer payments from the sale of our products, proceeds
from the issuance of common and preferred stock and proceeds from
the issuance of debt. Our principal uses of cash have included cash
used in operations, product development, and payments relating to
purchases of property and equipment. We expect that our principal
uses of cash in the future will be for product development,
including customization of identity management products for
enterprise and consumer applications, further development of
intellectual property, development of Software-as-a-Service
(“SaaS”) capabilities for existing products as
well as general working capital and capital expenditure
requirements. Management expects that, as our revenue grows, our
sales and marketing and research and development expense will
continue to grow, albeit at a slower rate and, as a result, we will
need to generate significant net revenue to achieve and sustain
income from operations.
Going Concern
At
June 30, 2019, we had positive working capital of approximately
$3,482,000. Our principal sources of liquidity at June 30, 2019
consisted of approximately $6,734,000 of cash and cash
equivalents.
Considering
the Common Stock financing completed in May 2019, as well as our
projected cash requirements, and assuming we are unable to generate
incremental revenue, our available cash may be insufficient to
satisfy our cash requirements for the next twelve months from the
date of this filing. These factors raise substantial doubt about
our ability to continue as a going concern. To address our working
capital requirements, management may seek additional equity and/or
debt financing through the issuance of additional debt and/or
equity securities or may seek strategic or other transactions
intended to increase shareholder value. There are currently no
formal committed financing arrangements to support our projected
cash shortfall, including commitments to purchase additional debt
and/or equity securities, or other agreements, and no assurances
can be given that we will be successful in raising additional debt
and/or equity securities, or entering into any other transaction
that addresses our ability to continue as a going
concern.
In
view of the matters described in the preceding paragraph,
recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts
shown in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet is dependent
upon continued operations of the Company, which, in turn, is
dependent upon the Company’s ability to continue to raise
capital and generate positive cash flows from operations. However,
the Company operates in markets that are emerging and highly
competitive. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to
obtain additional capital, operate at a profit or generate positive
cash flows in the future.
These
condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any
adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of
recorded asset amounts and classifications of liabilities that
might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a
going concern.
NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF
PRESENTATION
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying
condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018, which
has been derived from audited financial statements, and the
unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(“GAAP”)
and the rules and regulations of the SEC related to a quarterly
report on Form 10-Q. Certain information and note disclosures
normally included in annual financial statements prepared in
accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to
those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the
disclosures made are adequate to make the information not
misleading. The interim financial statements reflect all
adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for
a fair statement of the results for the periods presented. All such
adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. These unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements
for the year ended December 31, 2018, which are included in the
Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2018 that was filed with the SEC on March 28,
2019.
Operating
results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year ended December 31, 2019, or any other future
periods.
Certain prior period amounts have been
reclassified to conform with current period presentation. Pursuant
to the Company’s adoption of Accounting Standards Update
2017-07 - Compensation –
Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net
Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit
Cost (“ASU
2017-07”), the Company is
presenting certain elements of periodic pension expense as a
separate line item “Other components of net periodic pension
expense” outside the loss from operations, in the
Company’s condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
These reclassifications have no impact on net
loss.
Significant Accounting
Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The Company’s
wholly-owned subsidiaries are: XImage Corporation, a California
Corporation; ImageWare Systems ID Group, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (formerly Imaging Technology Corporation); I.W. Systems
Canada Company, a Nova Scotia unlimited liability company;
ImageWare Digital Photography Systems, LLC, a Nevada limited
liability company (formerly Castleworks LLC); Digital Imaging
International GmbH, a company formed under German laws; and Image
Ware Mexico S de RL de CV, a company formed under Mexican laws. All
significant intercompany transactions and balances have been
eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The
preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity
with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of
revenue and expense during the reporting period. Significant
estimates include the evaluation of our ability to continue as a
going concern, the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable,
deferred tax asset valuation allowances, recoverability of
goodwill, assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model to calculate
the fair value of share based payments, fair value of financial
instruments issued with and affected by the Series C Preferred
Financing, assumptions used in the application of revenue
recognition policies, assumptions used in the derivation of the
Company’s incremental borrowing rate used in the computation
of the Company’s operating lease liabilities and assumptions
used in the application of fair value methodologies to calculate
the fair value of pension assets and obligations. Actual results
could differ from estimates.
Accounts Receivable
In
the normal course of business, the Company extends credit without
collateral requirements to its customers that satisfy pre-defined
credit criteria. Accounts receivable are recorded net of an
allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts receivable are considered
delinquent when the due date on the invoice has passed. The Company
records its allowance for doubtful accounts based upon its
assessment of various factors. The Company considers historical
experience, the age of the accounts receivable balances, the credit
quality of its customers, current economic conditions and other
factors that may affect customers’ ability to pay to
determine the level of allowance required. Accounts receivable
are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts when
all collection efforts by the Company have been
unsuccessful.
Inventories
Finished goods inventories are stated at the lower
of cost, determined using the average cost method, or net
realizable value. See Note 4, “Inventory,” below.
Property, Equipment and Leasehold Improvements
Property
and equipment, consisting of furniture and equipment, are stated at
cost and are being depreciated on a straight-line basis over the
estimated useful lives of the assets, which generally range from
three to five years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense
as incurred. Major renewals or improvements are capitalized. When
assets are sold or abandoned, the cost and related accumulated
depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain
or loss is recognized. Expenditures for leasehold improvements are
capitalized. Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed
using the straight-line method over the shorter of the remaining
lease term or the estimated useful lives of the
improvements.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
For
certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including
accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expense, and
deferred revenue, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due
to their relatively short maturities.
Lease Liabilities and Operating Lease Right-of-Use
Assets
The
Company is a party to certain contractual arrangements for office
space which meet the definition of leases under Accounting
Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 842 – Leases
(“ASC 842”). In
accordance with ASC 842, the Company has determined that such
arrangements are operating leases and accordingly the Company has,
as of January 1, 2019, recorded operating lease right-of-use assets
and related lease liability for the present value of the lease
payments over the lease terms using the Company’s estimated
weighted-average incremental borrowing rate of approximately 14.5%.
The Company has utilized the practical expedient regarding lease
and nonlease components and has combined such items into a single
combined component. The Company has also utilized the practical
expedient regarding leases of twelve months or less and has
excluded such leases from its computation of lease liability and
related right-of-use assets. The Company has also elected the
optional transition package of practical expedients which
include:
A
package of practical expedient to not reassess:
●
Whether
a contract is or contains a lease
●

classification
●
Initial
direct costs
Revenue Recognition
Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted ASC 606,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), using the modified retrospective
transition method.
In
accordance with ASC 606, revenue is recognized when control of the
promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an
amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to
in exchange for those goods or services.
The
core principle of the standard is that we should recognize revenue
to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers
in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to
be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve
that core principle, we apply the following five step
model:
1.
Identify
the contract with the customer;
2.
Identify
the performance obligation in the contract;
3.
Determine
the transaction price;
4.
Allocate
the transaction price to the performance obligations in the
contract; and
5.
Recognize
revenue when (or as) each performance obligation is
satisfied.
At
contract inception, we assess the goods and services promised in a
contract with a customer and identify as a performance obligation
each promise to transfer to the customer either: (i) a good or
service (or a bundle of goods or services) that is distinct, or
(ii) a series of distinct goods or services that are substantially
the same and that have the same pattern of transfer to the
customer. We recognize revenue only when we satisfy a performance
obligation by transferring a promised good or service to a
customer.
Determining
the timing of the satisfaction of performance obligations as well
as the transaction price and the amounts allocated to performance
obligations requires judgement.
We
disclose disaggregation of our customer revenue by classes of
similar products and services as follows:
●
Software
licensing and royalties;
●
Sales
of computer hardware and identification media;
●
Services;
and
●
Post-contract
customer support.
Software Licensing and Royalties
Software licenses
consist of revenue from the sale of software for identity
management applications. Our software licenses are functional
intellectual property and typically provide customers with the
right to use our software in perpetuity as it exists when made
available to the customer. We recognize revenue from software
licensing at a point in time upon delivery, provided all other
revenue recognition criteria are met.
Royalties
consist of revenue from usage-based arrangements and guaranteed
minimum-based arrangements. We recognize revenue for royalty
arrangements at the later of (i) when the related sales occur, or
(ii) when the performance obligation to which some or all of the
royalty has been allocated has been satisfied.
Computer Hardware and Identification Media
We
generate revenue from the sale of computer hardware and
identification media. Revenue for these items is recognized upon
delivery of these products to the customer, provided all other
revenue recognition criteria are met.
Services
Services
revenue is comprised primarily of software customization services,
software integration services, system installation services and
customer training. Revenue is generally recognized upon completion
of services and customer acceptance provided all other revenue
recognition criteria are met.
Post-Contract Customer Support (“PCS”)
Post contract customer support consists of
maintenance on software and hardware for our identity management
solutions. We recognize PCS revenue from periodic maintenance
agreements. Revenue is generally recognized ratably over the
respective maintenance periods provided no significant obligations
remain. Costs related to such contracts are expensed as
incurred.
Arrangements with Multiple Performance Obligations
A
performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a
distinct good or service to the customer. In addition to selling
software licenses, hardware and identification media, services and
post-contract customer support on a standalone basis, certain
contracts include multiple performance obligations. For such
arrangements, we allocate revenue to each performance obligation
based on our best estimate of the relative standalone selling
price. The standalone selling price for a performance obligation is
the price at which we would sell a promised good or service
separately to a customer. The primary methods used to estimate
standalone selling price are as follows: (i) the expected cost-plus
margin approach, under which we forecast our expected costs of
satisfying a performance obligation and then add an appropriate
margin for that distinct good or service, and (ii) the percent
discount off of list price approach.
Contract Costs
We
recognize an asset for the incremental costs of obtaining a
contract with a customer if we expect the benefit of those costs to
be longer than one year. We apply a practical expedient to expense
costs as incurred for costs to obtain a contract when the
amortization period is one year or less.
Other Items
We
do not offer rights of return for our products and services in the
normal course of business.
Sales
tax collected from customers is excluded from revenue.
The
adoption of ASC 606 as of January 1, 2018 resulted in a cumulative
positive adjustment to beginning accumulated deficit and accounts
receivable of approximately $96,000. The following table sets forth
our disaggregated revenue for the three and six months ended June

Customer Concentration
For the
three months ended June 30, 2019, one customer accounted for
approximately 27% or $216,000 of our total revenue and had trade
receivables at June 30, 2019 of $0. For the six months
ended June 30, 2019, two customers accounted for approximately 41%
or $717,000 of our total revenue and had trade receivables at June
30, 2019 of $161,000.
For the
three months ended June 30, 2018, two customers accounted for
approximately 60% or $1,133,000 of our total revenue and had trade
receivables at June 30, 2018 of $213,000. For the six
months ended June 30, 2018, one customer accounted for
approximately 43% or $1,121,000 of our total revenue and had trade
receivables at June 30, 2018 of $0.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements
are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(“FASB”), or other standard setting bodies, which
are adopted by us as of the specified effective date. Unless
otherwise discussed, the Company’s management believes the
impact of recently issued standards not yet effective will not have
a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements upon adoption.
FASB ASU No.
2016-13. In June 2016, the FASB
issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2016-13, Financial
Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit
Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU No. 2016-13 changes the impairment model
for most financial assets and certain other instruments. For trade
and other receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities, loans and
other instruments, entities will be required to use a new
forward-looking “expected loss” model that will replace
today’s “incurred loss” model and generally will
result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. For
available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized losses, entities
will measure credit losses in a manner similar to current practice,
except that the losses will be recognized as an allowance. This
guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2019 including interim periods within those fiscal years. The
Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adoption of
this standard on its consolidated financial
statements.
FASB ASU No.
2018-13. In August 2018, the
FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement
(Topic 820) —Disclosure Framework —Changes to the
Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value
Measurement” (“ASU 2018-13”). The amendments in this update improve
the effectiveness of fair value measurement disclosures. ASU
2018-13 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15,
2019. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard
should be applied to all periods presented. The adoption of this
standard will not have a material impact on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements.
FASB ASU No.
2018-14. In August 2018, the
FASB issued ASU 2018-14, “Compensation
—Retirement Benefits —Defined Benefit Plans
—General (Subtopic 715-20) —Disclosure Framework
—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit
Plans” (“ASU 2018-14”). The amendments in this update remove
defined benefit plan disclosures that are no longer considered
cost-beneficial, clarify the specific requirements of disclosures,

NOTE 3. NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
Basic
loss per common share is calculated by dividing net loss available
to common shareholders for the period by the weighted-average
number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss
per common share is calculated by dividing net loss available to
common shareholders for the period by the weighted-average number
of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted to
include, if dilutive, potential dilutive shares consisting of
convertible preferred stock, convertible related party lines of
credit, stock options and warrants, calculated using the treasury
stock and if-converted methods. For diluted loss per share
calculation purposes, the net loss available to common shareholders
is adjusted to add back any preferred stock dividends and any
interest on convertible debt reflected in the condensed
consolidated statement of operations for the respective
periods.

Inventory
Inventories of $319,000 as of June 30, 2019 were comprised of work
in process of $312,000 representing direct labor costs on
in-process projects and finished goods of $7,000 net of reserves
for obsolete and slow-moving items of $3,000.
Inventories of $29,000 as of December 31, 2018 were comprised of
work in process of $21,000 representing direct labor costs on
in-process projects and finished goods of $8,000 net of reserves
for obsolete and slow-moving items of $3,000.
Intangible Assets
The
carrying amounts of the Company’s patent intangible assets
were $76,000 and $82,000 as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018,
respectively, which includes accumulated amortization of $583,000
and $577,000 as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018,
respectively. Amortization expense for patent intangible
assets was $3,000 and $6,000 for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2019 and 2018. Patent intangible assets are being
amortized on a straight-line basis over their remaining life of
approximately 7.00 years. There was no impairment of the
Company’s intangible assets during the three and six months
ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

Goodwill
The Company annually, or more frequently if events or circumstances
indicate a need, tests the carrying amount
of goodwill for impairment. The Company performs its
annual impairment test in the fourth quarter of each year. In
December 2018, the Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2017-04,
“Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350):
Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.” The
provisions of ASU 2017-04 eliminate the requirement to calculate
the implied fair value of goodwill to measure
a goodwill impairment charge. Instead, entities will record an
impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit’s
carrying amount over its fair value. Entities that have reporting
units with zero or negative carrying amounts, will no longer be
required to perform a qualitative assessment assuming they pass the
simplified impairment test. The Company continues to have only
one reporting unit, Identity Management, which at June 30, 2019,
had a negative carrying amount of approximately $2,972,000. Based
on the results of the Company’s impairment testing, the
Company determined that its goodwill was not impaired as
of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.
NOTE 5. LEASES
The
Company is a party to certain contractual arrangements for office
space which meet the definition of leases under ASC 842 –
Leases. In accordance with ASC 842, the Company has determined that
such arrangements are operating leases and accordingly the Company
has, as of January 1, 2019, recorded operating lease right-of-use
assets and related lease liability for the present value of the
lease payments over the lease terms using the Company’s
estimated weighted-average incremental borrowing rate of
approximately 14.5%. Such assets and liabilities aggregated
approximately $2,265,000 and $2,280,000 as of January 1, 2019,
respectively. The Company determined that it had no arrangements
representing finance leases.
The
Company’s operating leasing arrangements are summarized
below:
●
The
Company’s corporate headquarters is located in San Diego,
California, where it occupies 8,511 square feet of office space at
an average cost of approximately $28,000 per month. This
facility’s lease was entered into by the Company in July
2018. This new lease commenced on November 1, 2018 and terminates
on April 30, 2025.
●
1,508
square feet in Ottawa, Province of Ontario, Canada, at a cost of
approximately $3,000 per month until the expiration of the lease on
March 31, 2021;
●
9,720
square feet in Portland, Oregon, at a cost of approximately $23,000
per month until the expiration of the lease on February 28, 2023;
and
●
183
square feet of office space in Mexico City, Mexico, at a cost of
approximately $2,000 per month until September 30,
2019.
The
above leases contain no residual value guarantees provided by the
Company and there are no options to either extend or terminate the
leases. The Company is not a party to any subleasing
arrangements.
For the
three and six months ended June 30, 2019 the Company recorded
approximately $182,000 and $349,000, respectively, in lease expense
using the straight-line method. Lease expense is comprised of the
total lease payments under the lease plus any initial direct costs
incurred less any lease incentives received by the lessor amortized
ratably using the straight-line method over the lease term. The
weighted-average remaining lease term of the Company’s
operating leases as of June 30, 2019 is 4.95 years. Cash payments
under operating leases aggregated approximately $122,000 and
$243,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019,
respectively, and are included in operating cash
flows.
The
Company’s lease liability was computed using the present
value of future lease payments. The Company has utilized the
practical expedient regarding lease and non-lease components and
combined such components into a single combined component in the
determination of the lease liability. The Company has excluded the
lease of its office space in Mexico City, Mexico in the
determination of the lease liability as of January 1, 2019 as its
term is less than 12 months.
At
June 30, 2019, future minimum undiscounted lease payments are as

NOTE 6. MEZZANINE EQUITY
Series C Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock
On September 10, 2018, the Company filed the
Certificate of Designations, Preferences, and Rights of Series C
Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock (the
“Series C
COD”) with the Delaware
Secretary of State, designating 1,000 shares of the Company’s
preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, as Series C Preferred,
each share with a stated value of $10,000 per share (the
“Stated
Value”). Shares of Series
C Preferred accrue dividends
cumulatively and are payable quarterly at a rate of 8% per annum if
paid in cash, or 10% per annum if paid by the issuance of shares of
Common Stock. Each share of Series C Preferred has a liquidation
preference equal to the
greater of (i) the Stated Value plus all accrued and unpaid
dividends, and (ii) such amount per share as would have been
payable had each share been converted into Common Stock immediately
prior to the occurrence of a Liquidation Event or Deemed
Liquidation Event. Each share of Series C Preferred is convertible
into that number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock
(“Conversion
Shares”) equal to the
Stated Value, divided by $1.00, which conversion rate is subject to
adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Series C COD.
Holders of Series C Preferred may elect to convert shares of Series
C Preferred into Conversion Shares at any time. Holders of the
Series C Preferred may also require the Company to redeem all or
any portion of such holder’s shares of Series C Preferred at
any time from and after the third anniversary of the issuance date
or in the event of the consummation of a Change of Control (as such
term is defined in the Series C COD). Subject to the terms and
conditions set forth in the Series C COD, in the event the
volume-weighted average price of the Company’s Common Stock
is at least $3.00 per share (subject to adjustment in accordance
with the terms of the Series C COD) for at least 20 consecutive
trading days, the Company may convert all, but not less than all,
issued and outstanding shares of Series C Preferred into Conversion
Shares. In addition, in the event of a Change of Control, the
Company will have the option to redeem all, but not less than all,
issued and outstanding shares of Series C Preferred for 115% of the
Liquidation Preference Amount per share. Holders of Series C
Preferred will have the right to vote, on an as-converted basis,
with the holders of the Company’s Common Stock on any matter
presented to the Company’s stockholders for their action or
consideration. Shares of Series C Preferred rank senior to the
Company’s Common Stock and Series A Preferred, and junior to
the Company’s Series B Preferred.
On September 10, 2018, the Company offered and
sold a total of 890 shares of Series C Preferred at a purchase
price of $10,000 per share, and on September 21, 2018, the Company
offered and sold an additional 110 shares of Series C Preferred at
a purchase price of $10,000 per share (the
“Series C
Financing”). The total
gross proceeds to the Company from the Series C Financing were
$10,000,000. Issuance costs incurred in conjunction with the Series
C Financing were approximately $1,211,000. Such costs have been
recorded as a discount on the Series C Preferred stock and will be
accreted to the point of earliest redemption which is the third
anniversary of the Series C Financing or September 10, 2021 using
the effective interest rate method. The accretion of these costs is
recorded as a deemed dividend.
The Company had 1,000 shares of Series C Preferred
outstanding as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.
The Company
issued the holders of Series C Preferred 157,945 and 266,793
shares of
Common Stock on March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019, respectively, as
payment of dividends due on these dates.
Guidance for
accounting for freestanding financial instruments that contain
characteristics of both liabilities and equity are contained in ASC
480, Distinguishing Liabilities
From Equity and Accounting
Series Release 268 (“ASR 268”) Redeemable Preferred
Stocks. The Company evaluated
the provisions of the Series C Preferred and determined that the
provisions of the Series C Preferred grant the holders of the
Series C Preferred a redemption right whereby the holders of the
Series C Preferred may, at any time after the third anniversary of
the Series C Preferred issuance, require the Company to redeem in
cash any or all of the holder’s outstanding Series C
Preferred at an amount equal to the Liquidation Preference Amount
(“Liquidation Preference
Amount”). The Liquidation
Preference Amount is defined as the greater of the stated value of
the Series C Preferred plus any accrued unpaid interest or such
amount per share as would have been payable had each such share
been converted into Common Stock. In the event of a Change of
Control, the holders of Series C Preferred shall have the right to
require the Company to redeem in cash all or any portion of such
holder’s shares at the Liquidation Preference Amount. The
Company has concluded that because the redemption features of the
Series C Preferred are outside of the control of the Company, the
instrument is to be recorded as temporary or mezzanine equity in
accordance with the provisions of ASR 268.
The
Company noted that the Series C Preferred Stock instrument was a
hybrid instrument that contains several embedded features. In
November 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-16 to amend ASC 815,
“Derivatives and
Hedging,” (“ASC
815”) and require the use of the whole instrument
approach (described below) to determine whether the nature of the
host contract in a hybrid instrument issued in the form of a share
is more akin to debt or to equity.
The whole
instrument approach requires an issuer or investor to consider the
economic characteristics and risks of the entire hybrid instrument,
including all of its stated and implied substantive terms and
features. Under this approach, all stated and implied features,
including the embedded feature being evaluated for bifurcation,
must be considered. Each term and feature should be weighed based
on the relevant facts and circumstances to determine the nature of
the host contract. This approach results in a single, consistent
determination of the nature of the host contract, which is then
used to evaluate each embedded feature for bifurcation. That is,
the host contract does not change as each feature is
evaluated.
The
revised guidance further clarifies that the existence or omission
of any single feature, including an investor-held, fixed-price,
noncontingent redemption option, does not determine the economic
characteristics and risks of the host contract. Instead, an entity
must base that determination on an evaluation of the entire hybrid
instrument, including all substantive terms and
features.
However, an
individual term or feature may be weighed more heavily in the
evaluation based on facts and circumstances. An evaluation of all
relevant terms and features, including the circumstances
surrounding the issuance or acquisition of the equity share, as
well as the likelihood that an issuer or investor is expected to
exercise any options within the host contract, to determine the
nature of the host contract, requires judgement.
Using
the whole instrument approach, the Company concluded that the host
instrument is more akin to debt than equity as the majority of
identified features contain more characteristics of
debt.
The
Company evaluated the identified embedded features of the Series C
Preferred host instrument and determined that certain features meet
the definition of and contained the characteristics of derivative
financial instruments requiring bifurcation at fair value from the
host instrument.
Accordingly, the
Company has bifurcated from the Series C Preferred host instrument
the conversion options, redemption option and participating
dividend feature in accordance with the guidance in ASC 815. These
bifurcated features aggregated approximately $833,000 at issuance
and have been recorded as a discount to the Series C Preferred.
Such amount will be accreted to the
point of earliest redemption which is the third anniversary of the
Series C Financing or September 10, 2021 using the effective
interest rate method. The accretion of these features is recorded
as a deemed dividend.
For the
three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recorded the
accretion of debt issuance costs and derivative liabilities
aggregating approximately $184,000 and $370,000, respectively,
using the effective interest rate method. There was no Series C
Preferred outstanding at any time during the three and six months
ended June 30, 2018.

NOTE 7. DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES
The Company accounts
for its derivative instruments under the provisions of ASC
815, “Derivatives
and Hedging.” Under the
provisions of ASC 815, the Company identified embedded features
within the Series C Preferred host contract that
qualify
as derivative instruments and require
bifurcation.
The
Company determined that the conversion option, redemption option
and participating dividend feature contained in the Series C
Preferred host instrument required bifurcation. The Company valued
the bifurcatable features at fair value. Such liabilities
aggregated approximately $833,000 at inception and are classified
as current liabilities on the Company’s condensed
consolidated balance sheet under the caption “Derivative
liabilities.” The Company revalued these features at each
balance sheet date and has recorded any change in fair value in the
determination of period net income or loss. Such amounts are
recorded in the caption “Change in fair value of derivative
liabilities” in the Company’s condensed consolidated
statements of operations. During the three and six months ended
June 30, 2019, the Company recorded a decrease to these derivative
liabilities using fair value methodologies of approximately 481,000
and $57,000, respectively. See Note 9 to these condensed
consolidated financial statements for a reconciliation of amounts
recorded at June 30, 2019.
NOTE 8. EQUITY
The
Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended,
authorizes the issuance of two classes of stock to be designated
“Common Stock” and “Preferred Stock.” The
Preferred Stock may be divided into such number of series and with
the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions as the Board
of Directors may determine.
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
The Company had 37,467 shares of Series A
Preferred outstanding as of June 30, 2019 and December 31,
2018. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had
cumulative undeclared dividends of $0. The Company issued the
holders of Series A Preferred 591,803 and 999,633
shares of
Common Stock on March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019, respectively, as
payment of dividends due on these dates.
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock
The Company had 239,400 shares of Series B
Preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share
(“Series B
Preferred”), outstanding
as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. At June 30, 2019 and
December 31, 2018, the Company had cumulative undeclared dividends
of approximately $8,000. There were no conversions of Series B
Preferred into Common Stock during the three and six months ended
June 30, 2019 and 2018.

$6,095,000 after recognition of offering expenses. The Company
intends to use the net proceeds received from the sale of the
Common Stock for general corporate purposes.
The
shares of Common Stock described above were offered by the Company
pursuant to a shelf registration statement filed with the SEC on
June 28, 2018 and declared effective on July 10, 2018.
During

As
of June 30, 2019, warrants to purchase 1,813,856 shares of Common
Stock at exercise prices ranging from $0.01 to $1.46 were
outstanding. All warrants are exercisable as of June 30, 2019
except for an aggregate of 1,643,856 warrants, which become
exercisable only upon the attainment of specified events. Such
warrants expire at various dates through September 2028. The
intrinsic value of warrants outstanding at June 30, 2019 was
approximately $20,000. The Company has excluded from this
computation any intrinsic value of the 1,493,856 warrants issued to
the Series A Preferred stockholders due to such warrants becoming
exercisable only upon conversion of Series A Preferred into shares
of Common Stock.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company’s 1999 Stock Award Plan (the
“1999
Plan”) was adopted by the
Company’s Board of Directors on December 17, 1999. Under the
terms of the 1999 Plan, the Company could, originally, issue up to
350,000 non-qualified or incentive stock options to purchase Common
Stock of the Company. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the
Company subsequently amended and restated the 1999 Plan, whereby it
increased the share reserve for issuance to approximately 7.0
million shares of the Company’s Common Stock. Subsequently,
in February 2018, the Company amended and restated the 1999 Plan,
whereby it increased the share reserve for issuance by an
additional 2.0 million shares. The 1999 Plan prohibits the
grant of stock option or stock appreciation right awards with an
exercise price less than fair market value of the Company’s
Common Stock on the date of grant. The 1999 Plan also generally
prohibits the “re-pricing” of stock options or stock
appreciation rights, although awards may be bought-out for a
payment in cash or the Company’s stock. The 1999 Plan permits
the grant of stock-based awards other than stock options, including
the grant of “full value” awards such as restricted
stock, stock units and performance shares. The 1999 Plan permits
the qualification of awards under the plan (payable in either stock
or cash) as “performance-based compensation” within the
meaning of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. The number
of options issued and outstanding and the number of options
remaining available for future issuance are shown in the table
below. The number of authorized shares available for issuance under
the plan at June 30, 2019 was 374,245.
The Company estimates the fair value of its stock
options using a Black-Scholes option-valuation model, consistent
with the provisions of ASC No. 718, Compensation – Stock
Compensation. The fair value of
stock options granted is recognized to expense over the requisite
service period. Stock-based compensation expense is reported in
general and administrative, sales and marketing, engineering and
customer service expense based upon the departments to which
substantially all of the associated employees report and credited
to additional paid-in capital. Stock-based compensation expense
related to equity options was approximately $181,000 and $347,000
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019,
respectively.
ASC No. 718 requires the use of a valuation model
to calculate the fair value of stock-based awards. The Company has
elected to use the Black-Scholes option-valuation model, which
incorporates various assumptions including volatility, expected
life, and interest rates. The Company is required to make various
assumptions in the application of the Black-Scholes
option-valuation model. The Company has determined that the best
measure of expected volatility is based on the historical weekly
volatility of the Company’s Common Stock. Historical
volatility factors utilized in the Company’s Black-Scholes
computations for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 ranged
from 57% to 84%. The Company has elected to estimate the expected
life of an award based upon the SEC approved “simplified
method” noted under the provisions of Staff Accounting
Bulletin Topic 14. The expected term used by the Company during the
six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was 5.17 years. The
difference between the actual historical expected life and the
simplified method was immaterial. The interest rate used is
the risk-free interest rate and is based upon U.S. Treasury rates
appropriate for the expected term. The interest rate used
in the Company’s Black-Scholes calculations for the six
months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was 2.6%. Dividend yield is
zero, as the Company does not expect to declare any dividends on
the Company’s Common Stock in the foreseeable
future.
In
addition to the key assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model,
the estimated forfeiture rate at the time of valuation is a
critical assumption. The Company has estimated an annualized
forfeiture rate of approximately 0% for corporate officers, 4.1%
for members of the Board of Directors and 6.0% for all other
employees. The Company reviews the expected forfeiture rate
annually to determine if that percent is still reasonable based on
historical experience.

plans is as follows:

NOTE 9. FAIR VALUE ACCOUNTING
The Company accounts for fair value measurements
in accordance with ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures,” which
defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair
value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands
disclosures about fair value measurements.
ASC
820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs
to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy
gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active
markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements)
and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3
measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under
ASC 820 are described below:
Level
1
|
Unadjusted
quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the
measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or
liabilities.
|
Level
2
|
Applies
to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than
quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the
asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or
liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets
or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent
transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in
which significant inputs are observable or can be derived
principally from, or corroborated by, observable market
data.
|
Level
3
|
Prices
or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both
significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable
(supported by little or no market activity).
|
The
following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and
liabilities measured at fair value by level within the fair value
hierarchy. As required by ASC 820, assets and liabilities are
classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input
that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The
Company’s German pension plan is funded by insurance contract
policies whereby the insurance company guarantees a fixed minimum
return. The Company has determined that the pension assets are more
appropriately classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy
because they are valued using actuarial valuation methodologies
which approximate cash surrender value that cannot be corroborated
with observable market data. All plan assets are managed in a
policyholder pool in Germany by outside investment managers. The
investment manager is responsible for the investment strategy of
the insurance premiums that Company submits and does not hold
individual assets per participating employer. The German Federal
Financial Supervisory oversees and supervises the insurance
contracts.
The Series C Preferred host instrument (issued in
September 2018) had embedded features contained in the host
instrument that qualified for derivative liability
treatment. The recorded fair market value of these
features at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was approximately
$1,008,000 and $1,065,000, respectively which is reflected as a
current liability in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as
of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The fair value of the
Company’s derivative liabilities is classified
within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued
using pricing models that incorporate management assumptions that
cannot be corroborated with observable market data. The
Company uses the lattice framework, Monte-Carlo simulations and
other fair value methodologies in the determination of the fair
value of derivative liabilities.
Some
of the aforementioned fair value methodologies are affected by the
Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding the
expected stock price volatility over the term of the
derivative liabilities in addition to the probability of
future events.
The
Company monitors the activity within each level and any changes
with the underlying valuation techniques or inputs utilized to
recognize if any transfers between levels are
necessary. That determination is made, in part, by
working with outside valuation experts for Level 3 instruments and
monitoring market related data and other valuation inputs for Level
1 and Level 2 instruments.

There
were no derivative liabilities at either December 31, 2017 or at
any time during the six months ended June 30, 2018. The Company is
not a party to any hedge arrangements, commodity swap agreement or
any other derivative financial instruments.
NOTE 10. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
During the year ended December 31, 2018, the
Company entered into a professional services agreement with a firm
whose managing director is also a member of the Company’s
Board of Directors. During the first quarter of the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded and paid the
remaining one-half of the aggregate fee of $50,000 related to this
professional services agreement.
During
the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company had Convertible
Lines of Credit outstanding with two members of the Company’s
Board of Directors. At June 30, 2018, aggregate borrowing under the
Lines of Credit were approximately $5,871,000 net of discount. Such
Lines of Credit and all accrued unpaid interest were converted into
shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock in September
2018, at which time the Lines of Credit were deemed satisfied in
full and terminated.
NOTE 11. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
Employment Agreements
The
Company has employment agreements with its Chief Executive Officer
and its Chief Technical Officer. The Company may terminate the
agreements with or without cause. Subject to the conditions and
other limitations set forth in each respective employment

officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an
adverse decision could have a material adverse effect.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking
statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended. All forward-looking statements included in
this report are based on information available to us as of the date
hereof and we assume no obligation to update any forward-looking
statements. Forward-looking statements involve known or unknown
risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause our actual
results, performance or achievements, or industry results to be
materially different from any future results, performance or
achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such
differences include but are not limited to those items discussed
under “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018,
and in Item 1A of Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
(the “Quarterly Report”).
The following discussion of the financial condition and results of
operations should be read in conjunction with the condensed
consolidated financial statements included elsewhere within this
Quarterly Report. Fluctuations in annual and quarterly results may
occur as a result of factors affecting demand for our products,
such as the timing of new product introductions by us and by our
competitors and our customers’ political and budgetary
constraints. Due to such fluctuations, historical results and
percentage relationships are not necessarily indicative of the
operating results for any future period.
Overview
The
Company is a pioneer and leader in the emerging market for
biometrically enabled software-based identity management solutions.
Using those human characteristics that are unique to us all, the
Company creates software that provides a highly reliable indication
of a person’s identity. The Company’s
“flagship” product is the patented IWS Biometric
Engine®. The Company’s products are used to manage and
issue secure credentials, including national IDs, passports, driver
licenses and access control credentials. The Company’s
products also provide law enforcement with integrated mug shot,
fingerprint LiveScan and investigative capabilities. The Company
also provides comprehensive authentication security software using
biometrics to secure physical and logical access to facilities or
computer networks or internet sites. Biometric technology is now an
integral part of all markets the Company addresses, and all the
products are integrated into the IWS Biometric
Engine.
Recent Developments
In May 2019, the Company completed a registered
direct offering of 5,954,545 shares of its Common Stock at a price
of $1.10 per share, resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of
approximately $6,550,000. Net proceeds to the Company were
approximately $6,095,000 after recognition of offering
expenses.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The discussion and analysis of our consolidated
financial condition and results of operations are based on our
consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of these consolidated
financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to utilize
accounting policies and make certain estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the
disclosure of contingencies as of the date of the consolidated
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and
expense during a fiscal period. The SEC considers an accounting
policy to be critical if it is important to a company’s
financial condition and results of operations, and if it requires
significant judgment and estimates on the part of management in its
application.
Significant
estimates include the evaluation of our ability to continue as a
going concern, the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable,
deferred tax asset valuation allowances, recoverability of
goodwill, assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model to calculate
the fair value of share based payments, fair value of financial
instruments issued with and affected by the Series C Financing,
assumptions used in the application of revenue recognition
policies, assumptions used in the derivation of the Company’s
incremental borrowing rate used in the computation of the
Company’s operating lease liabilities and assumptions used in
the application of fair value methodologies to calculate the fair
value of pension assets and obligations.
Critical accounting policies are those that, in
management’s view, are most important in the portrayal of our
financial condition and results of operations. Other than the
adoption of ASC 842 “Leases” management believes there have been no material
changes during the six months ended June 30, 2019 to the critical
accounting policies discussed in the Management’s Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2018. See Note 2 “Significant Accounting
Policies and Basis of Presentation” and Note 5 “Leases” for a detailed discussion
of this critical accounting
policy.

Software and
royalty revenue decreased 86% or approximately $749,000 during the
three months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the corresponding
period in 2018. This decrease is attributable to lower
identification project related revenue of approximately $663,000,
lower law enforcement project related revenue of approximately
$81,000, lower royalty revenue of approximately $19,000 offset by
higher sales of boxed identity management software sold through our
distribution channel of approximately $14,000. The decrease in identification
project related revenue is reflective of additional software
licenses sold into existing identification projects caused by
increased end-user utilization during the three months ended June
30, 2018. The decrease in royalty revenue results primarily from
lower reported usage from certain customers and the decrease in our
law enforcement project revenue resulted from a decrease in the
timing of procurement by our law enforcement customers. The
increase in boxed identity management software sold through our
distribution channel reflects higher procurement from international
customers.
Revenue
from the sale of hardware and consumables decreased approximately
$95,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to
the corresponding period in 2018 due to a decrease in project
related solutions containing hardware and consumables.
Services
revenue is comprised primarily of software integration services,
system installation services and customer training. Such revenue
decreased approximately $178,000 during the three months ended June
30, 2019 as compared to the corresponding period of 2018 due to a
decrease in the service element of project related work completed
during the three months ended June 30, 2019.
We
believe that the period-to-period fluctuations of identity
management software revenue in project-oriented solutions are
largely due to the timing of government procurement with respect to
the various programs we are pursuing. Although no assurances
can be given, based on management’s current visibility into
the timing of potential government procurements and potential
partnerships and current pilot programs, we believe that we will
see an increase in government procurement and implementations with
respect to identity management initiatives during 2019; however,
government procurement initiatives, implementations and pilots are
frequently delayed and extended and we cannot predict the timing of
such initiatives.
During the three months ended June 30,
2019, we continued our efforts to move the Biometric Engine into
cloud and mobile markets, and expand our end-user market into
non-government sectors, including commercial, consumer and
healthcare applications. Our approach to these markets is to
partner with larger integrators as resellers who have both the
infrastructure and resources to sell into the worldwide market. We
rely upon these partners for guidance as to when they expect
revenue for our products to begin to ramp. In the second quarter we saw additional customers
implement GoVerify ID®, our cloud based mobile
biometric authentication software as a service. Management
believes that additional implementations will occur throughout the
remainder of the year ended December 31, 2019, resulting in
increased identities under management.

Maintenance
revenue was approximately $652,000 for the three months ended June

corresponding period in 2018. Identity management maintenance
revenue generated from identification software solutions was
approximately $328,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 as
compared to approximately $381,000 during the comparable period in
2018. Law enforcement maintenance revenue was approximately
$324,000 and $322,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and
2018, respectively. The decrease of $53,000 in identification
software maintenance revenue for the three months ended June 30,
2019 as compared to the corresponding period of 2018 is reflective
of the timing of maintenance revenue recognition related to a
certain customer combined with the expiration of certain
maintenance contracts.
We
anticipate growth of our maintenance revenue through the retention
of existing customers combined with the expansion of our installed
base resulting from the completion of project-oriented work;
however, we cannot predict the timing of this anticipated
growth.

The cost of software and royalty product revenue
increased approximately $14,000 for the three months ended June 30,
2019 as compared to the corresponding period in 2018 despite lower
software and royalty product revenue of approximately $749,000.
This increase during the 2019
period as compared to the comparable 2018 period reflects the 2018
period containing third-party software revenue with extremely
minimal third-party software costs whereas the 2019 period did not
contain similar revenues with related costs.
The
cost of hardware and consumables revenue decreased approximately
$62,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to
the corresponding period in 2018 results from lower hardware and
consumables revenue of approximately $95,000 due to a decrease in
project related solutions containing hardware and consumables
components.
The
cost of services revenue decreased approximately $57,000 during the
three months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the corresponding
period in 2018 due to lower service revenue of approximately
$178,000. Although changes in costs of services product revenue are
sometimes caused by revenue level fluctuations, costs of services
can also vary as a percentage of service revenue from period to
period depending upon both the level and complexity of professional
service resources utilized in the completion of the service
element.

Software and royalty gross profit decreased
approximately $763,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019
from the corresponding period in 2018 due primarily to lower
software and royalty revenue of approximately $749,000 combined
with higher software and royalty cost of revenue of $14,000 for the
same period. This increase in software and royalty cost of
revenue despite lower software and royalty revenue during
the 2019 period as compared to the
comparable 2018 period reflects the 2018 period containing
third-party software revenue with extremely minimal third-party
software costs whereas the 2019 period did not contain similar
revenues with related costs. In addition to changes in costs of
software and royalty product revenue caused by revenue level
fluctuations, costs of products can vary as a percentage of product
revenue from period to period depending upon level of software
customization and third-party software license content included in
product sales during a given period.
Hardware
and consumable gross profit decreased approximately $33,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 2019 from the corresponding period in
2018 due primarily to lower hardware and consumable revenue of
approximately $95,000 combined with lower cost of hardware and
consumable revenue of approximately $62,000. These decreases result
from a decrease in project related solutions containing hardware
and consumable components.
Services
gross profit decreased approximately $121,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the corresponding period in 2018
due to lower service revenue of approximately $178,000 combined
with lower service cost of revenue of $57,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the corresponding period in
2018.

General and Administrative Expense
General
and administrative expense is comprised primarily of salaries and
other employee-related costs for executive, financial, and other
infrastructure personnel. General legal, accounting and consulting
services, insurance, occupancy and communication costs are also
included with general and administrative expense. The dollar
decrease of approximately $76,000 during the three months ended
June 30, 2019 as compared to the corresponding period in 2018 is
comprised of the following major components:
●
Decrease in
personnel related expense of approximately $5,000 due to headcount
reductions.
●
Decrease in
professional services of approximately $32,000, which includes
lower Board of Director fees of approximately $98,000, lower
financing related expenses of approximately $33,000, lower legal
fees of approximately $2,000 offset by higher patent-related fees
of approximately $21,000, higher investor relations fees of
approximately $23,000, higher general corporate expense of
approximately $2,000, higher audit fees of approximately $26,000
and higher contract service expense of approximately
$29,000;
●
Increase in travel,
insurances, licenses, dues and other costs of approximately
$24,000;
●
Decrease in rent
and office related costs of approximately $12,000; and
●
Decrease in
stock-based compensation expense of approximately
$51,000.
We
continue to focus our efforts on achieving additional future
operating efficiencies by reviewing and improving upon existing
business processes and evaluating our cost structure. We believe
these efforts will allow us to continue to gradually decrease our
level of general and administrative expense expressed as a
percentage of total revenue.
Sales and Marketing
Sales
and marketing expense consists primarily of the salaries,
commissions, other incentive compensation, employee benefits and
travel expense of our sales, marketing, and business development
functions. The dollar increase of approximately $118,000 during the
three months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the corresponding
period in 2018 is primarily comprised of the following major
components:
●
Increase in
personnel related expense of approximately $76,000, driven
primarily by headcount increases;
●
Increase in
contractor and contract services of approximately $28,000 resulting
from increased utilization of certain sales consultants of
approximately $20,000, higher contract service expense of
approximately $36,000 offset by lower marketing dues and
subscription expense of approximately $28,000;
●
Increase in travel,
trade show expense and office related expense of approximately
$22,000;
●
Decrease in
stock-based compensation expense of approximately $21,000;
and
●
Increase in our
Mexico sales office expense and other of approximately
$13,000.
Research and Development
Research
and development expense consists primarily of salaries, employee
benefits and outside contractors for new product development,
product enhancements, custom integration work and related facility
costs. Such expense decreased approximately $25,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the corresponding period
in 2018 due primarily to the following major
components:
●
Decrease in
personnel related expense of approximately $61,000 driven primarily
by the capitalization to work-in-process inventory of approximately
$125,000 offset by the effect of headcount increases of
approximately $64,000;
●
Increase in
contractor fees and contract services of approximately $40,000 for
services related to the development of mobile identity management
applications;
●
Decrease in stock
based-compensation expense of approximately $20,000;
and
●
Increase in office
related expense and engineering tools, supplies and other of
approximately $16,000.
Our
level of expenditures in research and development reflects our
belief that to maintain our competitive position in markets
characterized by rapid rates of technological advancement, we must
continue to invest significant resources in new systems and
software development as well as continue to enhance existing
products.
Depreciation and Amortization
During
the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, depreciation and
amortization expense was approximately $17,000 and $11,000,
respectively. The relatively small amount of depreciation and
amortization reflects the relatively small property and equipment
carrying value. The increase is reflective of certain furniture and
leasehold improvement asset additions in the fourth quarter of
2018.
Interest Expense (Income), Net
For
the three months ended June 30, 2019, we recognized interest
expense of approximately $0 and interest income of approximately
$31,000. For the three months ended June 30, 2018, we recognized
interest expense of approximately $197,000 and interest income of
approximately $13,000. The decrease in interest expense of
approximately $197,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019
reflects the conversion of all amounts outstanding under the
Company’s related-party lines of credit into shares of Series
A Preferred stock in September 2018.
Change in Fair
Value of Derivative Liabilities
For the
three months ended June 30, 2019, we recognized approximately
$481,000 from the decrease of derivative liabilities arising from
the consummation of the Series C Financing in September 2018. Such
decrease was determined by management using fair value
methodologies and is included as income under the caption
“Change in fair value of derivative liabilities” in our
condensed consolidated statement of operations for three months
ended June 30, 2019.

Software and
royalty revenue decreased 75% or approximately $721,000 during the
six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the corresponding
period in 2018. This decrease is attributable to lower
identification project related revenue of approximately $635,000,
lower law enforcement project related revenue of approximately
$77,000, lower royalty revenue of approximately $29,000 offset by
higher sales of boxed identity management software sold through our
distribution channel of approximately $20,000. The decrease in identification
project related revenue is reflective of additional software
licenses sold into existing identification projects caused by
increased end-user utilization during the six months ended June 30,
2018. The decrease in royalty revenue results primarily from lower
reported usage from certain customers and the decrease in our law
enforcement project revenue resulted from a decrease in the timing
of procurement by our law enforcement customers. The increase in
boxed identity management software sold through our distribution
channel reflects higher procurement from international
customers.
Revenue
from the sale of hardware and consumables decreased approximately
$84,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to
the corresponding period in 2018 due to a decrease in project
related solutions containing hardware and consumables and a
decrease in replacement hardware procurement by our
customers.
Services
revenue is comprised primarily of software integration services,
system installation services and customer training. Such revenue
decreased approximately $36,000 during the six months ended June
30, 2019 as compared to the corresponding period of 2018 due to a
decrease in the service element of project related work completed
during the six months ended June 30, 2019.
We
believe that the period-to-period fluctuations of identity
management software revenue in project-oriented solutions are
largely due to the timing of government procurement with respect to
the various programs we are pursuing. Although no assurances
can be given, based on management’s current visibility into
the timing of potential government procurements and potential
partnerships and current pilot programs, we believe that we will
see an increase in government procurement and implementations with
respect to identity management initiatives during 2019; however,
government procurement initiatives, implementations and pilots are
frequently delayed and extended and we cannot predict the timing of
such initiatives.
During the six months ended June 30,
2019, we continued our efforts to move the Biometric Engine into
cloud and mobile markets, and expand our end-user market into
non-government sectors, including commercial, consumer and
healthcare applications. Our approach to these markets is to
partner with larger integrators as resellers who have both the
infrastructure and resources to sell into the worldwide market. We
rely upon these partners for guidance as to when they expect
revenue for our products to begin to ramp. In the second quarter we saw additional customers
implement GoVerify ID®, our cloud based mobile
biometric authentication software as a service. Management
believes that additional implementations will occur throughout the
remainder of the year ended December 31, 2019, resulting in
increased identities under management.

Maintenance
revenue was approximately $1,305,000 for the six months ended June
30, 2019, as compared to approximately $1,322,000 for the
corresponding period in 2018. Identity management maintenance
revenue generated from identification software solutions was
approximately $656,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 as
compared to approximately $675,000 during the comparable period in
2018. Law enforcement maintenance revenue was approximately
$649,000 and $647,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and
2018, respectively. The decrease of $19,000 in identification
software maintenance revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2019
as compared to the corresponding period of 2018 is reflective of
the timing of maintenance revenue recognition related to a certain
customer combined with the expiration of certain maintenance
contracts.
We
anticipate growth of our maintenance revenue through the retention
of existing customers combined with the expansion of our installed
base resulting from the completion of project-oriented work;
however, we cannot predict the timing of this anticipated
growth.

The
cost of software and royalty product revenue increased
approximately $8,000 despite lower software and royalty revenue for
the six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the corresponding
period in 2018 due to the 2019 period containing certain
third-party software license costs and the 2018 period containing
significant software license revenue with minimal third-party
license costs and minimal associated customization
costs.
The
cost of hardware and consumable product revenue decreased
approximately $59,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 as
compared to the corresponding period in 2018 due primarily to lower
hardware and consumable product revenue of approximately $84,000
during the 2019 period.
The
cost of services revenue increased approximately $3,000 during the
six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the corresponding
period in 2018 despite lower service revenue of approximately
$36,000 due to the 2019 period containing a higher level and
complexity of services resource utilization. In addition to changes
in costs of services product revenue caused by revenue level
fluctuations, costs of services can vary as a percentage of service

Software and royalty gross profit decreased 77% or
approximately $729,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from
the corresponding period in 2018 due primarily to lower software
and royalty revenue of approximately $721,000 combined with higher
software and royalty cost of revenue of $8,000 for the same period.
This increase in software and royalty cost of revenue
despite lower software and royalty revenue during the 2019 period as compared to the comparable 2018
period reflects the 2018 period containing software revenue with
extremely minimal third-party software costs and minimal associated
software customization costs whereas the 2019 period did not
contain similar revenues with related costs. In addition to changes
in costs of software and royalty product revenue caused by revenue
level fluctuations, costs of products can vary as a percentage of

consumable revenue of approximately $59,000. These decreases result
from a decrease in project related solutions containing hardware
and consumable components.
Services
gross profit decreased approximately $39,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the corresponding period in 2018

cost of maintenance revenue of approximately $164,000 due to
headcount reductions in our customer service department combined
with lower maintenance labor costs incurred during the same period
due to the composition of engineering resources used in the
provision of maintenance services.

General and Administrative Expense
General and administrative expense is
comprised primarily of salaries and other employee-related costs
for executive, financial, and other infrastructure personnel.
General legal, accounting and consulting services, insurance,
occupancy and communication costs are also included with general
and administrative expense. The dollar decrease of
approximately $140,000 during
the six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the corresponding
period in 2018 is comprised of the following major
components:
●
Decrease
in personnel related expense of approximately $6,000 due to
reductions in headcount;
●
Increases in professional services of
approximately $19,000, which
includes lower Board of Director fees of approximately $88,000,
lower auditing fees of approximately $49,000, lower general
corporate expense of approximately $10,000, lower legal fees of
approximately $3,000 offset by higher patent-related fees of
approximately $26,000, higher contractor fees of approximately
$11,000, higher investor relations fees of approximately $47,000
and higher contract service expense of approximately
$85,000;
●
Decrease
in travel, insurances, licenses, dues, rent, office related costs
and other of approximately $8,000;
●
Decrease
in financing expense of approximately $33,000; and
●
Decrease
in stock-based compensation expense related to options and warrants
of approximately $112,000.
We
continue to focus our efforts on achieving additional future
operating efficiencies by reviewing and improving upon existing
business processes and evaluating our cost structure. We believe
these efforts will allow us to continue to gradually decrease our
level of general and administrative expense expressed as a
percentage of total revenue.
Sales and Marketing
Sales
and marketing expense consists primarily of the salaries,
commissions, other incentive compensation, employee benefits and
travel expense of our sales, marketing, and business development
functions. The dollar increase of approximately $259,000 during the
six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the corresponding
period in 2018 is primarily comprised of the following major
components:
●
Increase
in personnel related expense of approximately $119,000 driven
primarily by headcount increases;
●
Increase
in contractor and contract services of approximately $99,000
resulting from increased utilization of certain sales consultants
of approximately $8,000, higher contract service expense of
approximately $99,000 offset by lower marketing dues and
subscription expense of approximately $8,000;
●
Increase
in travel, trade show expense and office related expense of
approximately $58,000;
●
Decrease in
stock-based compensation expense of approximately $42,000 ; and
●
Increase
in our Mexico sales office expense and other of approximately
$25,000.
Research and Development
Research
and development expense consists primarily of salaries, employee
benefits and outside contractors for new product development,
product enhancements, custom integration work and related facility
costs. Such expense decreased approximately $50,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the corresponding period
in 2018 due primarily to the following major
components:
●
Increase
in personnel related expense of approximately $68,000 which is
comprise of higher personnel costs of approximately $258,000 driven
primarily by headcount increases offset by approximately $190,000
in capitalized labor into work in process inventory related in
in-process projects;
●
Decrease
in contractor fees and contract services of approximately $81,000
for services related to the accelerated development of mobile
identity management applications;
●
Decrease in stock
based-compensation expense of approximately $43,000 ; and
●
Increase
in rent, office related expense and engineering tools and supplies
of approximately $6,000.
Our
level of expenditures in research and development reflects our
belief that to maintain our competitive position in markets
characterized by rapid rates of technological advancement, we must
continue to invest significant resources in new systems and
software development as well as continue to enhance existing
products.
Depreciation and Amortization
During
the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, depreciation and
amortization expense was approximately $36,000 and $24,000,
respectively. The relatively small amount of depreciation and
amortization reflects the relatively small property and equipment
carrying value. The increase is reflective of certain furniture and
leasehold improvement asset additions in the fourth quarter of
2018.
Interest Expense, Net
For
the six months ended June 30, 2019, we recognized interest expense
of approximately $0 and interest income of approximately $53,000.
For the six months ended June 30, 2018, we recognized interest
expense of approximately $386,000 and interest income of
approximately $30,000. The decrease in interest expense of
approximately $386,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019
reflects the conversion of all amounts outstanding under the
Company’s related-party lines of credit into shares of Series
A Preferred stock in September 2018.
Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities
For the
six months ended June 30, 2019, we recognized approximately $57,000
from the decrease of derivative liabilities arising from the
consummation of the Series C Financing in September 2018. Such
decrease was determined by management using fair value
methodologies and is included as income under the caption
“Change in fair value of derivative liabilities” in our
condensed consolidated statement of operations for six months ended
June 30, 2019.
LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND GOING CONCERN
Historically, our principal sources of cash have
included customer payments from the sale of our products, proceeds
from the issuance of common and preferred stock and proceeds from
the issuance of debt. Our principal uses of cash have included cash
used in operations, product development, and payments relating to
purchases of property and equipment. We expect that our principal
uses of cash in the future will be for product development,
including customization of identity management products for
enterprise and consumer applications, further development of
intellectual property, development of Software-as-a-Service
(“SaaS”) capabilities for existing products as
well as general working capital and capital expenditure
requirements. Management expects that, as our revenue grows, our
sales and marketing and research and development expense will
continue to grow, albeit at a slower rate and, as a result, we will
need to generate significant net revenue to achieve and sustain
income from operations.
In
May 2019, the Company completed a registered direct offering of
5,954,545 shares of its Common Stock at a price of $1.10 per share,
resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of approximately
$6,550,000. Net proceeds to the Company were approximately
$6,095,000 after payment of financing related expense.
Going Concern
Our
principal sources of liquidity at June 30, 2019 consisted of
approximately $6,734,000 of cash and cash equivalents. At June 30,
2019, we had positive working capital of approximately
$3,482,000.
Considering
the Common Stock financing completed in May 2019, as well as our
projected cash requirements, and assuming we are unable to generate
incremental revenue, our available cash may be insufficient to
satisfy our cash requirements for the next twelve months from the
date of this filing. These factors raise substantial doubt about
our ability to continue as a going concern. To address our working
capital requirements, management may seek additional equity and/or
debt financing through the issuance of additional debt and/or
equity securities or may seek strategic or other transactions
intended to increase shareholder value. There are currently no
formal committed financing arrangements to support our projected
cash shortfall, including commitments to purchase additional debt
and/or equity securities, or other agreements, and no assurances
can be given that we will be successful in raising additional debt
and/or equity securities, or entering into any other transaction
that addresses our ability to continue as a going
concern.
In
view of the matters described in the preceding paragraph,
recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts
shown in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet is dependent
upon continued operations of the Company, which, in turn, is
dependent upon the Company’s ability to continue to raise
capital and generate positive cash flows from operations. However,
the Company operates in markets that are emerging and highly
competitive. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to
obtain additional capital, operate at a profit or generate positive
cash flows in the future.
These
condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any
adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of
recorded asset amounts and classifications of liabilities that
might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a
going concern.
Operating Activities
We used net cash of $5,183,000 in operating
activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to
net cash used of $5,236,000
during the comparable period in 2018.
During the six months ended June 30, 2019, net cash used in
operating activities consisted of net loss of $6,160,000 and an
increase in working capital and other assets and liabilities of
$643,000. Those amounts were offset by approximately $334,000 of
non-cash costs, including $355,000 in stock-based compensation,
$36,000 in depreciation and amortization offset by $57,000 in the
change in fair value of derivative liabilities. During the six
months ended June 30, 2019, we generated cash of $416,000 from
decreases in current assets and generated cash of $226,000 through
increases in current liabilities and deferred revenue, excluding
debt.
During
the six months ended June 30, 2018, net cash used in operating
activities consisted of net loss of $5,869,000 and a decrease in
working capital and other assets and liabilities of $230,000. Those
amounts were offset by approximately $863,000 of non-cash costs,
including $717,000 in stock-based compensation, $122,000 in debt
issuance cost amortization and beneficial conversion feature
amortization and $24,000 in depreciation and amortization. During
the six months ended June 30, 2018, we used cash of $102,000 from
increases in current assets and used cash of $128,000 through
reductions in current liabilities and deferred revenue, excluding
debt.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $8,000
for the six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to net cash used
in investing activities of $7,000 for the six months ended June 30,
2018. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, we used cash of
$8,000 to fund capital expenditures of software. For the six months
ended June 30, 2018, we used cash of $7,000 to fund capital
expenditures of computer equipment.
Financing Activities
Cash
generated from financing activities was approximately $6,236,000
for the six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to approximately
$124,000 for the comparable period in 2018. During the six months
ended June 30, 2019, we generated cash of approximately $166,000
from the exercise of 351,334 stock options resulting, in the
issuance of 351,334 shares of our Common Stock, generated cash of
$6,550,000 from the sale of 5,954,545 shares of Common Stock offset
by financing transaction cost of $455,000 and used cash of
approximately $25,000 for the payment of dividends on our Series B
Preferred Stock.
Inflation
We
do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our
historical operations or profitability.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
At
June 30, 2019, we did not have any relationships with
unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities
often referred to as structured finance, special purpose or
variable interest entities, which would have been established for
the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other
contractually narrow or limited purposes. In addition, we did not
engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded
contracts. As a result, we are not exposed to any financing,
liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged
in such relationships. We do not have relationships and
transactions with persons or entities that derive benefits from
their non-independent relationship with us or our related parties
except as disclosed elsewhere in this Quarterly
Report.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Please refer to the section
“Recently Issued Accounting
Standards” in Note 2 of
our Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT
MARKET RISK
Each
of our contracts requires payment in U.S. dollars. We
therefore do not engage in hedging transactions to reduce our
exposure to changes in currency exchange rates, although in the
event any future contracts are denominated in a foreign currency,
we may do so in the future. As a result, our financial results
are not affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency
exchange rates.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND
PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under
the supervision and with the participation of our management,
including our principal executive officer and principal financial
officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the
design and operations of our disclosure controls and procedures, as
defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of June 30, 2019. Based on
this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be
disclosed in the reports submitted under the Securities and
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC
rules and forms, including to ensure that information required to
be disclosed by the Company is accumulated and communicated to
management, including the principal executive officer and principal
financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
The
Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
have determined that there have been no changes, in the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting during
the period covered by this report identified in connection with the
evaluation described in the above paragraph that have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the
Company’s internal control over financial
reporting.
