FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact are “forward-looking statements” for the purposes of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In some cases, you can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “plan”, “may”, “will”, “expect”, “intend”, “anticipate”, believe”, “estimate” and “continue” or similar words. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts, and include, but are not limited to:

 

statements regarding our products and services, including:

 

o

our digital watermarking technology and Cloud-based document protection system;

 

o

our data privacy and data protection services and solutions; o our technology, our cash needs, including our ability to fund our future capital expenditures and working capital requirements;

 

o

our expectations regarding competition and growth in our sector; o the future sources and availability of additional funding; and

 

o

the effect of funding arrangements on projects and products.

 

You should read statements that contain these words carefully because they discuss future expectations and plans, which contain projections of future results of operations or financial condition or state other forward-looking information. We believe that it is important to communicate future expectations to investors. However, there may be events in the future that we are not able to accurately predict or control. Accordingly, we do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statements for any reason, even if new information becomes available or other events occur in the future, except as required by law.

 

Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations about future events affecting the Company and are subject to uncertainties and factors that affect all business operating in a global market as well as matters specific to the Company. These uncertainties and factors are difficult to predict, and many of them are beyond the Company’s control. Factors to consider when evaluating these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:

 

 

the impact of pandemics;

 

the Company’s limited operating history makes it difficult to evaluate its business and prospects;

 

the Company has incurred substantial losses and expects to incur losses in the future and may never achieve profitability;

 

if the Company is unable to obtain substantial additional financing, it may not be able to remain in business;

 

the Company’s operating results in future periods are expected to be subject to significant fluctuations, which would likely affect the trading price of the Company’s common shares;

 

the data privacy and data protection markets are highly competitive, and the Company’s failure to successfully compete will limit its ability to attain, retain and increase its market share;

 

the document protection market is highly competitive, and the Company’s failure to compete successfully would limit its ability to retain and increase its market share;

 

the video digital watermarking business is highly competitive, and the Company’s failure to compete successfully would limit its ability to retain and increase its market share;

 

the Company is subject to rapid technological change, which could render its products and services obsolete;

 

the Company is dependent upon vendors and other third-party service providers and will be competing with some of these companies;

 

the Company’s services are technically complex and it may not be able to prevent defects that could decrease their market acceptance, result in product liability or harm its reputation;

 

any loss of the Company’s personnel or inability to acquire new personnel could harm its business;

 

failure to maintain effective internal controls in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could have material adverse effect on the Company’s business and operating results and shareholders could lose confidence in the Company’s financial reporting;

 

the Company does not currently have any paying customers;

 

the Company’s business may suffer if it cannot protect its intellectual property;

 

the Company’s products may infringe the intellectual property rights of others, causing the Company to incur significant costs or prevent us from licensing its products;

 

the Company’s success depends on the continued growth in demand for e-business applications;

 

government regulation and legal uncertainties could add additional costs and risks to doing business on the Internet;

 

the Company’s share price has been and could be highly volatile, which could result in substantial losses to investors;

 

the Company has not paid cash dividends in the past and does not expect to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

 

Any return on investment may be limited to the value of the Company’s common shares;

 

securities analysts may not initiate coverage or continue to cover the Company’s common shares, and this may have a negative impact on its market price;

 

anti-takeover provisions in our charter documents could prevent or delay a change in control of the Company; LEGAL_36260802.1

 

the Company intends to issue additional equity securities, which may dilute the interests of current shareholders or carry rights or preferences senior to the common shares;

 

the exercise of options and warrants and other issuances of common shares or securities convertible into or exercisable for common shares will dilute the ownership interest of the Company’s current shareholders and may adversely affect the future market price of the Company’s common shares;

 

limited liability of executive officers and directors may discourage shareholders from bringing a lawsuit against them;

 

requirements of the SEC with regard to low-priced “penny stocks” may adversely affect the ability of shareholders to sell their shares in the secondary market;

 

the Company does not anticipate paying dividends to shareholders in the foreseeable future;

 

the Company may be exposed to adverse currency exchange rate fluctuations, which could harm the Company’s financial results and cash flows;

 

service outages and disruption of the Company’s infrastructure may harm the Company and adversely impact business operations and injure reputation;

 

security vulnerabilities in the Company’s products and services or any breach of the Company’s security measures may injure its reputation and disrupt the Company’s business;

 

the financial reporting obligations of being a public company in the United States are expensive, time consuming, and may place significant demands on the Company’s management; and

 

the Company’s failure to manage or adequately address any one or more of these risks could result in the business suffering a material adverse effect.

 

The Company believes the items outlined above are important factors that could cause estimates included in its financial statements to differ materially from the actual results and those expressed in a forward-looking statement made in this report or elsewhere by the Company or on its behalf. The Company has discussed these factors in more detail under “Risk Factors” in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 and other periodic reports filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, to the extent that this quarterly report contains forward-looking statements regarding the financial condition, operating results, business prospects or any other aspect of the Company, please be advised that the Company’s actual financial condition, operating results and business performance may differ materially from that projected or estimated by the Company in forward-looking statements. We do not intend to update our description of important factors each time a potential important factor arises, except as required by applicable securities laws and regulations. We advise our shareholders that they should (i) be aware that factors not referred to above could affect the accuracy of the Company’s forward-looking statements and (ii) use caution when considering the Company’s forward-looking statements.

NOTES TO CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2021 and 2020 

(Stated in US Dollars)

(Unaudited)

 

 

1.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND BUSINESS

 

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for Oculus VisionTech Inc. (“Oculus” or the “Company”) most recently completed fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures required in annual financial statements, but rather are prepared in accordance with recommendations for interim financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the same accounting policies and methods as those used by the Company in the annual audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, except when disclosed below.

 

The accompanying condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Oculus and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, OCL Technologies Corp. (from the date of acquisition, Note 6). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. In the opinion of the management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be attained for an entire year or any future periods. For further information, refer to the Financial Statements and footnotes thereto in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.

 

Oculus VisionTech, Inc. (the "Company") is a designer of digital watermarking services and solutions. At June 30, 2021 and fiscal 2020, substantially all of the Company's assets and substantially all its operations are located and conducted in the United States and Canada.

 

 

2.

GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.  As shown in the financial statements, the Company has incurred a loss of $877,361 for the six month period ended June 30, 2021 and, in addition the Company incurred losses of $2,772,484 and $192,865 for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $45,036,541 and a working capital of $2,880,736. These conditions raise doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations as they come due which management believes it will be able to do.  To date, the Company has funded operations primarily through the issuance of common stock and warrants to outside investors and the Company’s management.  The Company believes that its operations will generate additional funds and that additional funding from outside investors and the Company’s management will continue to be available to the Company when needed.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue as a going concern.

ACQUISITION OF COMPLYTRUST INC. (FORMERLY OCL TECHNOLOGIES CORP.)

 

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company acquired a 100% interest in ComplyTrust Inc. (foermly OCL Technologies Corp.) (“CTI”) by issuing 12,500,000 shares with a fair value of $1,380,427 and contingent consideration consisting of 12,500,000 non-transferable warrants with a fair value of $414,128. The transaction does not meet the definition of a business as defined in ASC 805-10. As a result, the acquisition of CTI has been accounted for as an asset acquisition, whereby all of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are assigned a carrying amount based on their relative fair values. Upon closing of the transaction, CTI became a subsidiary of the Company. The net assets acquired pursuant to the acquisition are as follows:

 

Purchase Price

    
     

Issuance of 12,500,000 shares

 $1,380,427 

Contingent consideration – warrants

  414,128 

Transaction costs

  54,532 
     

Total Purchase Price

 $1,849,087 

 

Contingent consideration consists of 12,500,000 non-transferable warrants that are exercisable into 12,500,000 common shares if certain criteria are met at an exercise price of $0.001 for a period of five years from the date of issuance expiry June 4, 2025. No share purchase warrants are exercisable until specific performance criteria have been met. Such criteria being 1) revenue sales projections per CTI’s 5 year proformas, or 2) listing on a major US exchange, or 3) change of control. The Company has estimated the fair value of the contingent consideration to be $414,128.

COVID-19  

 

In early 2020, a coronavirus that causes COVID-19 emerged globally, which is currently affecting the global economies and has a resulting effect on the Company.  Therefore, while the Company expects this matter to negatively impact the Company's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows, the extent of the financial impact and duration cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

OVERVIEW OF THE COMPANY

 

Oculus VisionTech Inc. (OVTZ) is a Canadian-based development-stage technology company focused on cyber security, data privacy and data protection solutions for Enterprise business customers. Headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, the company was originally founded by image processing experts and is operated by experienced leadership. Currently, OVTZ is expanding and investing in a suite of new data protection and data privacy security products that will revolutionize CCPA, GDPR, LGPD and other data privacy legislation compliance for both data subjects and data controllers worldwide. Our mission is innovation of viable software tools that enable intelligent automated solutions for public cloud customer services and needs specific to data privacy and data protection for individuals, organizations and their customers worldwide, through a vision of mutually trusted data compliance.

 

Our Forget-Me-Yes® data privacy product is a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform developed to specifically address the global ‘Right-to-be-Forgotten’ (RtbF) and Right-of-Erase (RoE) legal components of Brazil’s LGPD, Europe’s GDPR, California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), Nevada SB220, and Washington Privacy Act (WPA) regulatory compliance. Additional new data protection software tools are being developed to address public cloud data governance compliance globally. Our Cloud Document Protection System (Cloud-DPS) technology leverages our digital watermarking technology enabling OVTZ to offer a SaaS-based document management platform for tamper-proof document authentication and protection. Historically, we have used our digital watermarking technology for streaming video content distribution based on embedded digital watermarking, as well as video-on-demand (VOD) systems, services and source-to-destination digital media delivery solutions that allow live or recorded digitized and compressed video to be transmitted through Internet, intranet, satellite or wireless connectivity.

 

We were incorporated on April 18, 1986, as "First Commercial Financial Group Inc." in the Province of Alberta, Canada. In 1989, our name was changed to "Micron Metals Canada Corp.", which purchased 100% of the outstanding shares of USA Video Inc., a Texas corporation, in order to focus on the digital media business. In 1995, we changed our name to "USA Video Interactive Corp." and continued out of the Province of Alberta into the State of Wyoming. At a shareholders meeting held on December 30, 2011, a resolution was passed to change our name to "Oculus VisionTech Inc." and to alter our share capital by way of a reverse stock split (share consolidation) on the basis of fifteen old common shares for one new common share. On January 25, 2012, we changed our name to "Oculus VisionTech Inc." In June 2020, OVTZ acquired OCL Technologies Inc. (OCL), a Delaware corporation data privacy software development startup based in San Diego, California. As a 100% wholly-owned subsidiary of OVTZ and to better align with customer and market focus, OCL has completed a corporate name change to ComplyTrust® Inc. (CTI) on January 21, 2021. All OCL references throughout this document are synonymous with the new name change, CTI.

Our executive and corporate headquarter offices are located at Suite 507, 837 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6C 3N6. Our telephone number is 1-800-684-0183 and our facsimile number is 604-685-5777. Our email address is contact@ovtz.com and our website is www.ovtz.com. Our common shares are listed for trading on the TSX Venture Exchange (TSX.V – OVT, OTCQB – OVTZ, FSE – USF1). 13

 

 

BUSINESS OBJECTIVES:

 

In this age of digital transformation, data monetization, IoT, and massive data migration to converged hyperscale, geo-disbursed Cloud infrastructure and workloads, data protection and data privacy have taken center stage. GDPR, LGPD, CCPA, and many other new international (China, India) and upcoming US data privacy regulations enable individuals and organizations the right to access and request deletion of all personal information for a given data subject. In our ever increasing Everything-as-a-Service world, OVTZ recognizes the need for global cloud-native data privacy and data protection solutions that are multi-cloud platform-ready and can augment both existing legacy and newer agile-driven architectures. OVTZ is building modular microservices-based software solutions and services for both hybrid on-premise and multi-cloud data management that incorporate automated malware, privacy and ransomware scanning, reporting and visualization.

 

Our new Forget-Me-Yes® (FMY) Software-as-a-Service (Saas) data privacy solution is a highly-secure, Zero-Knowledge platform providing a single-source capability of continuous ‘right-to-be-forgotten’ (RtbF) and ‘right-of-erase’ (RoE) privacy compliance by incorporating automated policy-driven re-query services. FMY guarantees a Data Subject’s requested RtbF/RoE data remains ‘forgotten’ over the life of their FMY subscription. FMY incorporates hybrid envelope encryption technology that ensures all User Interface, data-in-transit and data-at-rest remain secure and can only be accessed by the subscriber. With a cloud-native architecture, the FMY functionality can be utilized as either a complete turnkey SaaS subscription platform, or individually licensed for seamless integration with existing 3rd. party applications and data privacy platforms.

 

Our new ComplyTrust® Software-as-a-Service Suite (CTSS) is a set of software tools specifically designed to address cloud-native data management and regulatory compliant data governance. CTSS will help to remove enterprise organizational barriers and blockers to further enable successful cloud migration and deployment that benefit the cloud infrastructure providers, enterprise organizations, and users collectively. The first CTSS product to be released is the ComplyScanTM backup compliance reporting tool, which helps to automate and visualize cloud data backup compliance reporting across accounts, regions and services based on a variety of user-definable and data driven metrics.

 

OVTZ had recognized that cloud-based, digital document security/protection products were a potentially viable business opportunity for the Company that allowed us to apply our proprietary real-time digital video watermarking technology, originally developed for studios and networks in the entertainment industry, to the digital document security/protection market. Cloud-DPS secures and protects digital documents (including text documents, photos, blueprints, etc.) from any modification, and/or attempted forgery by imperceptibly watermarking documents, using real-time image processing and watermarking algorithms, embedded into a secured/protected copy of a document. This authentication and verification process ensures the integrity of the original digital document.

 

Our near-term business objectives for the above:

 

1.

Execute our new go-to-market strategy to introduce and demonstrate the Forget-Me-Yes® and CTSS ComplyScanTM solutions into the Amazon Web Services (AWS), Salesforce, Shopify and other applicable data compliance-centric market segments;

2.

Gain industry acceptance and recognition for the architectural and business differentiators of the company products;

3.

Begin to generate sales and support revenues in FY21;

4.

Patent and license new technology developed within the corporate research and development program;

5.

Re-evaluate the current potential Cloud-DPS addressable market and underlying architecture to determine next steps in the product evolution. The limited market adoption and lack of revenues indicate the need for an updated Cloud-DPS strategy that could include AI/ML capabilities and become a potential future component/plug-in within the CTSS toolset.

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (AND ESTIMATES)

 

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  On an ongoing basis, we evaluate these estimates, including those related to customer programs and incentives, bad debts, inventories, investments, intangible assets, income taxes, warranty obligations, impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, contingencies and litigation.  We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

We have identified the policies below as critical to our business operations and to the understanding of our financial results. The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on our business operations is discussed throughout management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations where such policies affect our reported and expected financial results:

 

 

Revenue recognition;

 

 

 

Impairment or disposal of long-lived assets;

 

Deferred taxes;

 

Accounting for stock-based compensation; and

 

Commitments and contingencies.

 

Revenue Recognition.  In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) ("ASC 606"). This guidance outlines a single, comprehensive model for accounting for revenue from contracts with customers to depict the transfer of control over a product to a customer. The guidance's core principle is that the Company will recognize revenue when it transfers control over promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

 

Under ASC 606, a performance obligation is a promise in a contract with a customer to transfer a distinct good or service to a customer. The Company's contracts with customers typically contain a single performance obligation. A contract's transaction price is allocated to its distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. If there are multiple performance obligations within a contract, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on their relative standalone selling prices. Sales are recorded net of sales returns, discounts and allowances.

 

Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.  Long-lived assets are reviewed in accordance with ASC Topic 360-10-05.  Impairment or disposal of long-lived assets losses are recognized in the period the impairment or disposal occurs.  

 

Deferred Taxes.  We record a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion of the amount may not be realized.  

 

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.  Under ASC Topic 718, Stock Compensation (formerly referred to as SFAS No. 123(R)), the Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value for awards that are expected to vest is then amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the option vesting term. The amount of expense attributed is based on estimated forfeiture rate, which is updated based on actual forfeitures as appropriate. This option pricing model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected volatility of the Company’s common stock, pre-vesting forfeiture rate and an option’s expected life. The financial statements include amounts that are based on the Company’s best estimates and judgments.

 

Commitments and Contingencies.  We account for commitments and contingencies in accordance with ASC Topic 450 Contingencies (formerly referred to as financial accounting standards board Statement No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies). We record a liability for commitments and contingencies when the amount is both probable and reasonably estimable.

On June 14, 2021, the Company closed a non-brokered private placement financing of 4,900,000 units of the Company at a price of CDN$0.80 per unit for gross proceeds of $3,920,000CDN ($3,098,616). Each unit consisted of one common share of the Company and one common share purchase warrant, with each warrant entitling the holder to acquire one additional common share of the Company at an exercise price of $1.00CDN for a period of 24 months from the date of closing. The expiry date of the warrants may be accelerated at the Company’s discretion if, the closing price of the Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange is equal to or greater than $2.50CDN for a minimum of ten consecutive trading days and a notice of acceleration is provided in accordance with the terms of the warrant. In connection to the private placement, the Company paid $45,500CDN ($36,370) as share issuance costs. We have historically satisfied our capital needs primarily by issuing equity securities to our officers, directors, employees and a small group of investors, and from short-term bridge loans from members of management.
