1. Business
Corporate
History and Overview
SmartMetric
was incorporated pursuant to the laws of the State of Nevada on December 18,
2002.
Smartmetric
is in the business of producing high-technology identity
cards. SmartMetric's Chief Executive Officer, Colin Hendrick, has
created patented technology which is being used in the prototype of the
SmartMetric "Biometric Card," a credit card-sized device which utilizes a finger
print sensor to authenticate a person's identity. The embedded sensor takes the
image of the person's fingerprint and matches it with a fingerprint stored on
the card.
On
September 14, 2004, Mr. Hendrick received a United States patent with regard to
the use of the Biometric card. Mr. Hendrick transferred the patent, which was
then pending, to Applied Cryptography, Inc., a Nevada corporation, owned by Mr.
Hendrick, in June 2004. On August 1, 2004, Applied Cryptography, Inc. entered
into a license agreement with SmartMetric pursuant to which SmartMetric has the
right to use, manufacture and sell products utilizing the patented technology in
perpetuity. This patent was granted on September 14, 2004.
As of
June 30, 2008, SmartMetric had a total stockholders' deficiency of $112,288, and
cash of $266,417. SmartMetric has no off-balance sheet arrangements
that are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on
SmartMetric's financial condition, results of operations or
liquidity.
The
SmartMetric Biometric Card
SmartMetric
has designed a biometric card utilizing patented technology licensed to the
company. A prototype of this card was completed in February 2 The
company is in the process of finalizing its biometric card and expects to have a
final product by November 2008– While the product was expected to be finalized
during the Summer of 2008, engineers uncovered more research and development had
to be done on a second antenna, thus pushing back product
finalization. The product, due to exposure in specialty trade
publications and numerous press releases, is receiving much interest in the
private sector, especially amongst banking entities. Also, the
product has received interest from the governmental sector, including, but not
limited to the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of
Defense.
SmartMetric
believes that its biometric card will have several functions:
|
·
|
The
fingerprint sensor will facilitate instant authorization
verification;
|
|
·
|
In
card biometric measurement storage will safeguard personal
information;
|
|
·
|
In
card biometric storage will permit access, identity and transaction
control verification;
|
|
·
|
Instant
identity verification will be secure since such information is contained
in the card and not in centralized
database
|
The
biometric card has been designed to contain up to two on-card processors and up
to1 gigabyte of memory. SmartMetric believes this will enable the card to store
the full image of a fingerprint and a database capable of storing information
such as medical records, financial or banking records or human resource card.
SmartMetric believes its biometric card may be used as a credit card, building
access card or computer access card.
SmartMetric
believes that its biometric card, by way of containing information unique to the
individual user, will be useless in the hands of others. Unlike a picture-based
identification system, the SmartMetric biometric card has been designed to
operate exclusively with the registered user. And unlike biometric security
systems where the biometric information is stored at a central location, we
believe that confirmation of identify with the SmartMetric system may not be
interrupted during the verification process or while it is stored at the remote
location since the biometric information is embedded in the card, itself, in a
memory chip protected by encryption. The fingerprint sensor built into the card
has been designed to activate the card. Without a match with the encrypted
fingerprint already stored on the card, the biometric card will not
operate.
The
SmartMetric biometric card is a card that authorized persons will carry with
them and activate to obtain access. Such activation will take place by placing a
finger on a fingerprint sensor. The SmartMetric biometric cards are designed to
be read by both contact and contactless card acceptor devices. For contact card
acceptor devices, the device must touch a chip mounted on the surface of the
Biometric card. This contact allows the card to transmit data to the reading
device. For contactless acceptor devices, a radio frequency signal will be sent
from the card to a radio frequency signal receiver in the acceptor device. In
both types of acceptor devices, the activation signal is sent only when there
has been a positive match of fingerprint by fingerprint sensor. The card
acceptor devices are available from several different third parties and do not
require any licenses.
5
The
company expects that the memory and computational capacities of the biometric
card will be used to store a template of each user's fingerprint(s). The memory
capacity will store a template of a user's fingerprint(s). The computational
capacity will be used to process a digitized image from the fingerprint sensor
to confirm a match (or no match) with the fingerprint template. Additional
computational processes such as increased Cryptography will depend on the
requirements of specific customers.
SmartMetric
believes its biometric card may be used for a variety of security applications
such as airport employed access and identity, building access and identity,
computer network access, drivers licenses, passports and check cashing identity
verification.
Fingerprint
Sensor
The
fingerprint sensor used in the SmartMetric biometric card is known as the
"Metric 60" fingerprint sensor. The Metric 60 allows for fingerprints which are
either wet or dry to be recognized or authenticated. It is also pressure
sensitive. SmartMetric purchases the fingerprint sensor from an unrelated third
party, but has no signed agreement with such party. The fingerprint sensor is
available from other suppliers. SmartMetric has designed a method of integrating
the fingerprint sensor on the card, which is then connected to a microprocessor,
which is connected to a rechargeable power supply in the card and a memory chip
for storage, retrieval and matching of the fingerprint on the card.
The
SmartMetric biometric card has been designed to utilize a rechargeable, lithium
polymer battery. Because this battery is available in a variety of shapes and
sizes, SmartMetric can design its cards in similar variety of shapes. This
lithium polymer battery is owned and manufactured by a third party unaffiliated
with SmartMetric. This battery will be integrated into the card. SmartMetric has
located a supplier for this battery and has purchased battery’s that meet the
requirements and specifications of the Biometric Card.
While
SmartMetric has already purchased these batteries, other raw materials which are
part of the product have been purchased as well. Examples include,
but are not limited to, microchips, memory chips and processor
chips. The sources and availability of these materials are numerous
and readily available, and should not affect the ability of SmartMetric to meet
future demand.
The
SmartMetric card has been designed to meet the International Standard
Organization 7816 Flex requirements so that it will not break or crack when bent
or flexed. The prototype card has been designed to meet ISO requirements for
crush test, drop test and nail test. It has been designed to operate in a wide
range of temperatures.
The
Biometric card has been designed to offer the option of a built-in radio
frequency transmitter for contactless entry and identity
verification.
The
Security Technology Industry
Biometrics
Biometric
technologies identify users by electronically capturing a specific biological or
behavioral characteristic of that individual, such as a fingerprint or voice or
facial feature, and creating a unique digital identifier from that
characteristic. Because this process relies on largely unalterable human
characteristics, positive identification can be achieved independent of any
information possessed by the individual seeking authorization.
The
process of identity authentication typically requires that a person present for
comparison one or more of the following factors:
|
·
|
Something
known such as a password, PIN or mother's maiden
name;
|
|
·
|
Something
carried such as a token, card, or key;
or
|
|
·
|
Something
physical such as fingerprint, voice pattern, signature motion, facial
shape or other biological or behavioral
characteristic.
|
Comparison
of biological and behavioral characteristics has historically been the most
reliable and accurate of the three factors, but has also been the most difficult
and costly to implement into a single product that can automatically verify the
identity of a user accessing a computer network or the Internet. However, recent
advances in biometric collection technologies (both biometric hardware products
and their associated processing software) have increased the speed and accuracy
and reduced the cost of implementing biometrics in commercial environments.
Management believes that individuals, Web site operators, government
organizations, and businesses will increasingly use this method of identity
authentication.
6
Biometrics
refers to the automatic identification of a person based on his/her
physiological or behavioral characteristics. This method of identification is
preferred over traditional methods involving passwords and personal
identification numbers ("PINs") for various reasons: (i) the person to be
identified is required to be physically present at the point of identification
to be identification; (ii) identification based on biometric techniques obviates
the need to remember a password or carry a token. By replacing PINs, biometric
techniques can potentially prevent unauthorized access to or fraudulent use of
cellular phones, Biometric cards, desktop PCs, workstations and computer
networks. It can be used during transactions conducted via telephone and
Internet (e-commerce and e-banking). In automobiles, biometrics could replace
keys-less entry devices.
PINs and
passwords may be forgotten, and token-based methods of identification, e.g.,
passports and driver's licenses, may be forged, stolen or lost. Various types of
biometric systems are being used for real-time identification, with the most
popular based on face recognition and fingerprint matching. Other biometric
systems utilize iris and retinal scanning, speech, facial thermograms and hand
geometry.
A
biometric system is essentially a pattern recognition system, which makes a
personal identification by determining the authenticity of a specific
physiological or behavioral characteristic possessed by the user. An important
issue in designing a practical system is to determine how an individual is
identified.
There are
two different ways to resolve a person's identity: verification and
identification. Verification (Am I whom I claim I am?) involves confirming or
denying a person's claimed identity. In identification, one has to establish a
person's identity (Who am I?).
The
SmartMetric biometric card has been designed as a credit-card sized plastic card
embedded with an integrated circuit chip and biometric fingerprint sensor. While
we have completed a prototype of this card, we are in the process of completing
the final product. The SmartMetric card has been designed to provide not only
memory capacity, but also computational capability along with secure
non-refutable identification of the user. We believe that the self-containment
of SmartMetric's card will make it substantially resistant to attack, as it will
not need to depend upon potentially vulnerable external resources. Because of
this characteristic, we expect that the SmartMetric biometric card may be used
in different applications which require strong security protection and
authentication.
The
physical structure of a card is specified by the International Standards
Organization ("ISO") 7810, 7816/1 and 7816/2. Generally, it is made up of three
elements. The plastic card is the most basic one and has the dimensions of
85.60mm x 53.98 x 0.80mm. A printed circuit and an integrated circuit chip are
embedded on the card.
The
SmartMetric card has been designed so that the printed circuit conforms to ISO
standard 7816/3 which provides five connection points for power and data. It
will be hermetically fixed in the recess provided for the card and will be
burned onto the circuit chip, filled with a conductive material and sealed with
contracts protruding. The printed circuit is a part of, and not distinct from,
the Biometric card. The printed circuit is intended to protect the circuit chip
from mechanical stress and static electricity. Communication with the chip will
be accomplished through contacts that overlay the printed circuit. The
integrated circuit chip defines the capability of a smart chip. Typically, an
integrated circuit chip consists of a microprocessor, read only memory (ROM),
non-static random access memory and electrically erasable programmable read only
memory which will retain its state when the power is removed. The current
circuit chip is made from silicon, which is not flexible and particularly easy
to break. In order to avoid breakage when the card is bent, the chip is
restricted to only a few millimeters in size.
Furthermore,
it is our intent that the physical interface which allows data exchange between
the integrated circuit chip and the card acceptor device will be limited to 9600
bits per second. The communication line is intended to be a bi-directional
serial transmission line, which conforms to ISO standard 7816/3. We intend that
all the data exchanges will be under the control of the central processing unit
in the integrated circuit chip. Card commands and input data will be sent to the
chip that responds with status words and output data upon the receipt of these
commands and data. Information will be sent in half duplex mode (transmission of
data is in one direction at a time). This protocol, together with the
restriction of the bit rate, is designed to prevent massive data attack on the
card.
In
general, the size, the thickness and bend requirements for the biometric card
were designed to protect the card from being spoiled physically. However, this
also limits the memory and processing resources that may be placed on the card.
In the past, industry participants have encountered particular difficulty in
attempting to integrate high memory chips and finger sensor technology that will
withstand both the size constraints and physical daily usage such as bending in
a user's wallet sitting in his back pocket. We believe our biometric card has
met and overcome the physical demands of the credit card to produce what is a
powerful on-card computer processor with state-of-the-art biometric technology.
However, we believe that additional engineering is necessary to reduce the size
to the circuitry of the card prototype. We expect that such re-engineering will
be complete by November 2008.
Sales
and Marketing
When
we have completed the prototype of our biometric card and received any required
regulatory approval, we plan to market and sell our product to banking interests
in the private sector and governmental agencies such as the Department of
Homeland Security and the Department of Defense. As noted previously,
we have received interest in the product from the aforementioned.
7
We do not
currently have a marketing or sales force or a distribution arrangement in
place. We will need to expend resources to develop our own marketing and
sales force or enter into third-party distribution arrangements.
Manufacturing
We expect
to outsource manufacturing of our Biometric cards once we have sales orders. We
do not intend to purchase any plants or significant
equipment. Because SmartMetric does not own or rent a
manufacturing facility, we will enter into a contract with a manufacturing
facility to produce our Biometric cards. Although we have engaged in
preliminary negotiations with two potential manufacturers, no contract has been
signed.
Intellectual
Property
We rely
on patents, licenses, trade secrets, trademarks, copyright registrations and
non-disclosure agreements to establish and protect our proprietary rights in our
technologies and products.

Research
and Development
Our
research and development program is focused on completing development of our
Biometric card. We continue to refine existing technology and develop
further improvements to our product. We are in the very final stages
of finalizing the product. We expect research and development costs
to trend lower in fiscal year ending June 30, 2009, due to the product expected
to be ready for market in November 2008. Almost all research and
development costs now center around an adjustment being made to a second antenna
in the card.
Competition
SmartMetric
is a company involved in identity management. This industry is dominated by
several large international corporations such as BioNetrix, Keyware, Genplus and
Precise Biometrics, all of which manufacture and/or distribute and market
identity management products. These companies and many others are more
established than SmartMetric, which will put it at a competitive disadvantage.
For example, Precise Biometrics, a company whose stock is listed on the
Stockholm stock exchange, sells products which utilize its patented biometric
fingerprint authentication technology which allows it to isolate the
characteristic features of a human fingerprint and to match such features with a
stored template to secure identity. However, Precise Biometrics is publicly
traded and better funded then SmartMetric, and thus better known. SmartMetric's
licensed patent allows for such data to be stored on a credit card sized device;
however, SmartMetric only has a prototype of its biometric card.
BioNetrix
offers a solution for systems security - user authentication and sign on. This
company was found in 1997.
SmartMetric
is a newcomer to this industry, with no proven track record and an untested
product. We are not as well known as our potential competitors, nor are we
certain our card will work as intended or that it will meet clients' needs. We
are at a competitive disadvantage when compared to those better known, better
funded and experienced identity management companies. SmartMetric will be
competing with these as well as smaller and mid-size identity management
manufactures, distributors, and developers.
Employees
As of the
date of this annual report, SmartMetric has four full time employees including
Colin Hendrick, SmartMetric’s CEO, and no part-time employees. None of these
employees belongs to any union.
Government
Regulation
There are
currently no governmental regulations which have any bearing on the raw
materials or the manufacturing of our product.

As of
October 7, 2008, we had approximately 839 shareholders of record of our common
stock, including the shares held in street name by brokerage firms. The holders
of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all
matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Holders of the common
stock have no preemptive rights and no right to convert their common stock into
any other securities. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions
applicable to the common stock.
Dividends
Any
payment of dividends will be within the discretion of the Company's Board of
Directors and will depend, among other factors, on earnings, capital
requirements and the operating and financial condition of the Company. At the
present time, the Company's anticipated financial capital requirements are such
that it intends to follow a policy of retaining earnings in order to finance the
development of its business.
Securities
authorized for issuance under equity compensation plans
As of the
date of this report, we do not have any securities authorized for issuance under
any equity compensation plans and we do not have any equity compensation
plans.
Penny
Stock Regulations
Our
shares of common stock are subject to the "penny stock" rules of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 and various rules under this Act. In general terms, "penny
stock" is defined as any equity security that has a market price less than $5.00
per share, subject to certain exceptions. The rules provide that any equity
security is considered to be a penny stock unless that security is registered
and traded on a national securities exchange meeting specified criteria set by
the SEC, issued by a registered investment company, and excluded from the
definition on the basis of price (at least $5.00 per share), or based on the
issuer's net tangible assets or revenues. In the last case, the issuer's net
tangible assets must exceed $3,000,000 if in continuous operation for at least
three years or $5,000,000 if in operation for less than three years, or the
issuer's average revenues for each of the past three years must exceed
$6,000,000.
10
Trading
in shares of penny stock is subject to additional sales practice requirements
for broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than established
customers and accredited investors. Accredited investors, in general, include
individuals with assets in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding
$200,000 (or $300,000 together with their spouse), and certain institutional
investors. For transactions covered by these rules, broker-dealers must make a
special suitability determination for the purchase of the security and must have
received the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to the
purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, the rules
require the delivery, prior to the first transaction, of a risk disclosure
document relating to the penny stock. A broker-dealer also must disclose the
commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative,
and current quotations for the security. Finally, monthly statements must be
sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stocks. These rules may
restrict the ability of broker-dealers to trade or maintain a market in our
common stock, to the extent it is penny stock, and may affect the ability of
shareholders to sell their shares.

Unless
otherwise noted in this section, with respect to the sale of unregistered
securities referenced above, all transactions were exempt from registration
pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933
Act"), and Regulation D or Regulation S promulgated under the 1933 Act. In each
instance, the purchaser had access to sufficient information regarding
SmartMetric so as to make an informed investment decision. More specifically, we
had a reasonable basis to believe that each purchaser was an "accredited
investor" as defined in Regulation D or Regulation S of the 1933 Act and
otherwise had the requisite sophistication to make an investment in
SmartMetric's securities.

7. Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations
The
following discussion of the financial condition and results of operation of the
Company for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 should be read in
conjunction with the selected financial data, the financial statements and the
notes to those statements that are included elsewhere in this registration
statement. Our discussion includes forward-looking statements based upon current
expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans,
objectives, expectations and intentions. Actual results and the timing of events
could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking
statements as a result of a number of factors, including those set forth under
the Risk Factors, Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and
Business sections in this registration statement. We use terms such as
“anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expect,”
“believe,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” and similar expressions
to identify forward-looking statements.
General
Incorporated
in 2002, SmartMetric and its founder and CEO, Colin Hendrick, have been engaged
in research and development of a biometric security solution which would
authenticate the identity of a person in a self-contained credit card-sized
device. SmartMetric’s biometric card has been designed to use an on-board finger
print sensor which is imbedded in the card along with an integrated circuit chip
which will provide one gigabyte of memory capacity. SmartMetric has recently
completed a prototype of its card but has not yet begun to manufacture the
biometric cards utilizing its licensed technology. The prototype is expected to
be completed by the end of November 2008 and is already being marketed in
various specialty trade publications and press releases. To date, SmartMetric
has had no sales revenues.
A
prototype of our biometric card was completed in February 2005 and we have been
adjusting and developing software for the card since that date. The
finished product will be the prototype or model for our biometric cards, which
will be manufactured upon receipt of customer orders. We are in
the process of revising some of the engineering of the prototype so as to
decrease the size of the circuitry contained in the card. We expect that the
revised prototype will be completed in November 2008.
We expect
to outsource manufacturing of our biometric cards once we have sales orders. We
do not intend to purchase any plants or significant
equipment. Because SmartMetric does not own or rent a
manufacturing facility, we will enter into a contract with a manufacturing
facility to produce our biometric cards. Although we have engaged in
preliminary negotiations with two potential manufacturers, no contract has been
signed.
We
currently have four full time employees, including Colin Hendrick, our President
and Chief Executive Officer. Once we have begun to generate sales, we intend to
hire additional employees.
SmartMetric
does not believe its business is seasonal in any way.
Results
of Operations
Comparison of the
Year Ended June 30, 2008 and 2007
Revenue and Net Income
(Loss)
For the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, there were $0 sales revenues and a net loss of
$1,397,056. For the year ended June 30, 2007, there were $0 sales revenues and a
net loss of $1,050,189. This increased loss of $346,867 or 33%
resulted primarily from an increase in general and administrative
expenses and an issuance of shares in consideration for
services.
13
General and Administrative
Expenses
General
and administrative expenses for the year ended June 30, 2008 were $1,123,946, an
increase of $398,930 or 55% compared to $725,016 for the comparable period in
2007. The increase was primarily attributable to a large number of shares being
issued in consideration of services rendered.
Research and Development
Expenses
Research
and development expenses for the year ended June 30, 2008 were $85,167, a
decrease of $57,399 or 40% compared to $142,566 for the comparable period in
2007. The decrease was primarily attributable to the revised prototype being in
its final stages, thus reducing the need for intensive research and
development
Interest
Expenses
There was
$17,943 interest expense for the year ended June 30, 2008 compared to $12,738
for the comparable period in 2007, an increase of $5,205 or 41%. The
increase was primarily attributable to Internal Revenue Service interest
payments.
Income Tax
Expenses
Income
tax for the year ended June 30, 2008 was $0, unchanged from June 30,
2007.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Cash
and Cash Equivalent
Our cash
and cash equivalents were $5,534 at the beginning of the year ended
June 30, 2008 and increased to $266,417 by the end of such period, an increase
of $260,883 or 4714%. The increase was primarily attributable to a
stepped-up pace of stock sales as the product grows closer to
completion.
Net
cash provided by operating activities
Net cash
provided by operating activities was $0 for the year ended June 30, 2008,
unchanged from June 30, 2007.
Net
cash used in investing activities
Net cash
used in investing activities was $0 for the year ended June 30, 2008, a decrease
of $10,253 from $10,253 for the comparable period in 2007. The decrease was
primarily attributable to no equipment purchases during the period.
Net
cash used in financing activities
Net cash
provided in financing activities was $1,300,224 for the year ended June 30,
2008, compared to $760,349 for the same period in 2007. The difference was
primarily attributable to stepped-up stock sales as the product grows closer to
completion.
Contractual
Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements.
We have
certain fixed contractual obligations and commitments that include future
estimated payments. Changes in our business needs, cancellation provisions,
changing interest rates, and other factors may result in actual payments
differing from the estimates. We cannot provide certainty regarding the timing
and amounts of payments. We have presented below a summary of the most
significant assumptions used in our determination of amounts presented in the
tables, in order to assist in the review of this information within the context
of our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
The
following table (in thousands) summarizes our contractual obligations as of June
30, 2008, and the effect these obligations are expected to have on our liquidity
and cash flows in future periods.

Critical
accounting policies and estimates
The
financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States, which require us 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 financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting periods. Management makes these estimates using the best information
available at the time the estimates are made; however actual results could
differ materially from those estimates (See Note 2 in the Notes to Financial
Statements).
Intangible
assets
SmartMetric
did not purchase any intangible assets for the year ended June 30,
2008.
New
Financial Accounting Pronouncements
There

Item
7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market
Risk.
Not
Applicable.
Interest Rates
Our
exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our
short-term investments; thus, fluctuations in interest rates would not have a
material impact on the fair value of these investments. At October 13, 2008, we
had approximately $19,000 in cash and cash equivalents. A hypothetical 5%
increase or decrease in either short term or long term interest rates would not
have a material impact on our earnings or loss, or the fair market value or cash
flows of these instruments.

9. Changes
in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial
Disclosure.
None.
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
SmartMetric
maintains a set of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports filed under
the Securities Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported
within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s
(“SEC”) rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the
objective of ensuring that this information is accumulated and communicated to
the Company's management, including the Company's chief executive officer and
chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure.
Based
upon their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report,
SmartMetric’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that
the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that
information required to be included in the Company's periodic SEC filings is
recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified
in the SEC rules and forms. As such, the Company is in compliance
with the SEC’s requirements as set forth in Item 308T of Regulation
S-K.
Management’s
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
SmartMetric’s
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal
control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control system was
designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and Board of
Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial
statements.
SmartMetric’s
management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial
reporting as of June 30, 2008. In making this assessment, it used the criteria
set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission (COSO) in Internal
Control—Integrated Framework Based on its assessment, the Company’s
management believes that, as of June 30, 2008, the Company’s internal control
over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.
15
This
annual report does not include an attestation report of SmartMetric’s registered
accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. The
management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered
public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
No
changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting have come to
management's attention during the Company's last fiscal quarter that have
materially affected, or are likely to materially affect, the Company's internal
control over financial reporting.
Limitations
on Controls
Management
does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal
control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and fraud. Any
control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain
assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its
objectives will be met. Further, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute
assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all
control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been
detected.
Item
9B. Other Information.
There
have been no material events that have occurred during the fiscal year ending

Compliance
with Section 16(a) of the Securities Act of 1934
Section

officers and directors and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class
of our equity securities to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission
initial statements of beneficial ownership, reports of changes in ownership and
annual reports concerning their ownership of the our common stock and other
equity securities, on Form 3, 4 and 5 respectively. Executive officers,
directors and greater than 10% shareholders are required by the Securities and

Based
solely on our review of the copies of such reports received by us, and on

Employment
Agreements
We have
no employment agreements with any of our executive officers, except for an
employment agreement entered into between the Company and Mr. Hendrick effective
July 1, 2004, which expired June 30, 2006. However, Mr. Hendrick continues to
serve as President and is paid on the basis of $170,000 annual
salary.
Compensation
Discussion and Analysis
We strive
to provide our named executive officers (as defined in Item 402 of Regulation
S-K) with a competitive base salary that is in line with their roles and
responsibilities when compared to peer companies of comparable size in similar locations.
We plan
to implement a more comprehensive compensation program, which takes into account
other elements of compensation, including, without limitation, short and long
term compensation, cash and non-cash, and other equity-based compensation such
as stock options. We expect that this compensation program will be comparable to
the programs of our peer companies and aimed to retain and attract talented
individuals.
We will
also consider forming a compensation committee to oversee the compensation of
our named executive officers. The majority of the members of the compensation
committee would be independent directors.
Compensation
of Directors
As of the
date of this registration statement, our directors have received no compensation
for their service on the board of directors, except Peter Sleep, our former
Director who also serves as Vice President of Asia-Pacific
Sales. A compensation program for our independent directors, as
and when they are appointed, which we anticipate will include such elements as
an annual retainer, meeting attendance fees and stock options. The details of
that compensation program will be negotiated with each independent
director. Please note that Mr. Sleep’s compensation was paid to him
as a Director.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the
Board of Directors and Stockholders of
SmartMetric,
Inc.
I have
audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of SmartMetric, Inc. and
subsidiary (the “Company”), a development stage company, as of June 30, 2008
and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended and for
the period December 18, 2002 (inception) to June 30, 2008. These consolidated
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s
management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated financial statements based on my audits.
I
conducted my audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that I plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. I believe
that my audits provide a reasonable basis for my opinion.
In my
opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of SmartMetric, Inc. and
subsidiary, a development stage company, as of June 30, 2008 and 2007, and the
results of their operations and cash flows for the years then ended and for the
period December 18, 2002 (inception) to June 30, 2008 in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
The
accompanying financial statements referred to above have been prepared assuming
that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in
Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s present financial
situation raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going
concern. Management’s plans in regard to this matter are also
described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

For
the Period December 18, 2002
(Date

NOTE
1 – ORGANIZATION
SmartMetric,
Inc. (“SmartMetric”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 18,
2002. SmartMetric is developing a credit card size plastic card
embedded with an integrated circuit chip and biometric fingerprint sensor which
provides identification of the user (the “SmartMetric Smart Card”) to market to
government agencies, corporations, and organizations interested in
identification cards.
NOTE
2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of
presentation – The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
SmartMetric and its inactive wholly owned subsidiary SmartMetric Australia Pty.
Ltd. (collectively, the “Company”). The Company has been presented as
a “development stage enterprise” in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No.7, “Accounting and Reporting by Development
Stage Enterprises”. Since inception, the Company’s activities have
been limited to organizational efforts, obtaining initial financing, and product
development.
The
consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a “going concern” basis,
which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in
the normal course of business. However, at June 30, 2008 and 2007,
the Company had a stockholders’ deficiency of $112,288 and $488,856,
respectively. For the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company
incurred net losses of $1,397,056 and $1,050,189, respectively. These
factors create uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern. As discussed in Note 6 to the consolidated financial
statements, the Company is raising capital through private placements of its
common stock to commence planned operations and achieve profitability. However,
there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising sufficient
capital to accomplish these objectives. The financial statements do
not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable
to continue as a going concern.
Use of
estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
Fair
value of financial instruments – The Company’s financial instruments consist of
cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and payroll taxes, withholdings,
and accrued interest and penalties, which approximate fair value because of
their short maturity.

For
the Years Ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 and
For
the Period December 18, 2002
(Date
of Inception) to June 30, 2008
Equipment
– Equipment is stated at cost and depreciated using the straight line method
over the respective assets’ useful life.
Patent
costs – Patent costs are amortized over the respective patent’s expected useful
economic life (ten years) using the straight line method.
Income
taxes – Income taxes are accounted for under the assets and liability
method. Current income taxes are provided in accordance with the laws
of the respective taxing authorities. Deferred income taxes are
provided for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences
between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and
liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit
carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured
using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax
assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management,
it is not more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax
assets will be realized.
Net loss
per common share – Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed on the
basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the
period.
Diluted
net income (loss) per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average
number of common shares and dilutive securities (such as stock options,
warrants, and other convertible securities) outstanding. Dilutive
securities having an anti-dilutive effect on diluted net income (loss) per share
are excluded from the calculation.
Reclassifications
– Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to current year
presentation.

For
the Years Ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 and
For
the Period December 18, 2002
(Date
of Inception) to June 30, 2008
In August
2008, the Company filed the March 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008 payroll tax returns
and paid $57,000 of the $137,508 June 30, 2008 liability.
NOTE
5 – COMMON STOCK SUBJECT TO POSSIBLE RESCISSION
On
November 3, 2004, the Company deposited $102,311 from the sale of a total of
68,207 shares of common stock to 9 investors at a price of $1.50 per
share. The net proceeds to the Company, after deducting $44,052 in
costs relating to this private placement for fees paid to an unrelated third
party, was $58,259.
On
January 30, 2005, the Company closed a second private placement which resulted
in the sale of a total of 92,630 shares of common stock to 11 investors at a
price of $1.50 per share, or $138,945 gross proceeds. The net
proceeds to the Company, after deducting $51,000 in fees paid to an unrelated
third party and $825 in other costs, was $87,120.
Since the
private placements referred to in the two preceding paragraphs occurred after
the Company’s filing of its Registration Statement on Form SB-2 on September 3,
2004 and before its effectiveness on August 12, 2005, the related investors may
have had rescission rights under the federal securities
laws. Accordingly, the Company classified the $241,256 gross proceeds
from these private placements as temporary equity separate and apart from
stockholders’ equity and classified the $95,877 related costs as a deduction
from stockholders’ equity.
The
Company believes that the statute of limitations for claiming rescission ran on
August 12, 2008 (three years from the date the shares were offered to the
public). To date, none of the investors has made a claim for
rescission. Accordingly, the Company will reclassify the $241,256
gross proceeds as stockholders’ equity in the three months ended September 30,
2008.
NOTE
6 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
From
August 2005 to February 2006, the Company sold a total of 743,648 shares of
common stock at $1.50 per share in its public offering resulting in gross
proceeds of $1,115,472. The net proceeds to the Company, after
deducting $138,471 in offering costs, was $977,001.
From May
2006 to June 2006, the Company sold a total of 192,464 Units at $1.15 per Unit
in private placements resulting in gross proceeds of $221,334 and net proceeds
of $221,296. Each Unit consisted of one share of common stock and one
warrant exercisable for 12 months from the date of issue into one share of
common stock at $1.50 per share.
