NOTE 1 -       ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

SmartMetric, Inc. (the “Company” or “SmartMetric”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 18, 2002. SmartMetric’s main product is a fingerprint sensor activated card with a finger sensor onboard the card and a built-in rechargeable battery for portable biometric identification. This card may be referred to as a biometric card or the SmartMetric Biometric Datacard.   SmartMetric has completed development of its card along with pre mass manufacturing cards but has not yet begun to mass manufacture the biometric fingerprint activated cards.  

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management of the Company, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all the adjustments (which are of a normal recurring nature) necessary for a fair presentation. Operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2014. For further information, refer to the financial statements and the footnotes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2013, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Going Concern

 

As shown in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements the Company has incurred recurring losses of $1,019,463 and $949,756 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 respectively, and has incurred a cumulative loss of $16,984,057 since inception (December 18, 2002).   The Company is currently in the development stage and has spent a substantial portion of its time in the development of its technology.

 

There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to raise enough capital or generate revenues to sustain its operations.  These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Management believes that the Company’s capital requirements will depend on many factors.  These factors include the final phase of development and mass production being successful as well as product implementation and distribution.

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the carrying amounts of recorded assets or the carrying amounts and classification of recorded liabilities that may be required should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

NOTE 2 -       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Development Stage Company

 

The Company is considered to be in the development stage as defined in ASC 915-10, "Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises". The Company has devoted substantially all of its efforts to the development of its technology.  Additionally, the Company has allocated a substantial portion of its time and investment in bringing its services to the market, and the raising of capital.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, SmartMetric Australia Pty. Ltd.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

NOTE 2 -       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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.  On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including, but not limited to, those related to income taxes and contingencies.  The Company bases its 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 value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments and other short-term investments with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  Any amounts of cash in financial institutions over FDIC insured limits exposes the Company to cash concentration risk. The Company has no cash equivalents.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheet for cash, accounts payable, and accrued expenses including payroll withholdings, interest and penalties approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments.

 

ASC 820 defines fair value, provides a consistent framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles and expands fair value financial statement disclosure requirements. ASC 820’s valuation techniques are based on observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect readily obtainable data from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. ASC 820 classifies these inputs into the following hierarchy:

 

Level 1 inputs: Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

 

Level 2 inputs: Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.

 

Level 3 inputs: Instruments with primarily unobservable value drivers.

 

Research and Development

 

The Company annually incurs costs on activities that relate to research and development of new technology and products.  Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company has not recognized revenues to date.  The Company anticipates recognizing revenue in accordance with the contracts it enters into for the sale and distribution of its products.

NOTE 2 -       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

 Accounts Receivable

 

The Company will extend credit based on its evaluation of the customers’ financial condition, generally without requiring collateral.  Exposure to losses on receivables is expected to vary by customer due to the financial condition of each customer.  The Company will monitor exposure to credit losses and maintains allowances for anticipated losses considered necessary under the circumstances.  The Company has not recorded any receivables, and therefore no allowance for doubtful accounts.  

  

Uncertainty in Income Taxes

 

GAAP requires the recognition and measurement of uncertain income tax positions using a “more-likely-than-not” approach.   Management evaluates Company tax positions on an annual basis and has determined that as of September 30, 2013 no accrual for uncertain income tax positions is necessary.

 

The Company files income tax returns in the United States ("U.S.") federal jurisdiction.  Generally, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal examinations by tax authorities for fiscal years prior to 2009.  The Company does not file in any other jurisdiction and remains open for audit for all tax years as the statute of limitations does not begin until the returns are filed.

 

Advertising Costs

 

The Company will expense the cost associated with advertising as incurred.  

 

Equipment

 

Equipment is stated at cost.  Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated economic useful lives of the assets ranging from 3 - 5 years.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets might not be recoverable.  The Company does not perform a periodic assessment of assets for impairment in the absence of such information or indicators.  Conditions that would necessitate an impairment assessment include a significant decline in the observable market value of an asset, a significant change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used, or a significant adverse change that would indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets is not recoverable.  For long-lived assets to be held and used, the Company recognizes an impairment loss only if its carrying amount is not recoverable through its undiscounted cash flows and measures the impairment loss based on the difference between the carrying amount and estimated fair value.

 

Loss Per Share of Common Stock

 

Basic net loss per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  The calculation of diluted earnings per share ("EPS") includes consideration of dilution arising from common stock equivalents, such as stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options and warrants.  Common stock equivalents were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share on the consolidated statement of operations due to the fact that the Company reported a net loss and to do so would be anti-dilutive for the periods presented.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company measures expense for issuances of stock-based compensation to employees and others at fair value of the stock and warrants issued, as this is more reliable than the fair value of the services received. The fair value is measured at the value of the Company’s common stock on the date that the commitment for performance by the counterparty has been reached or the counterparty’s performance obligation is complete. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense and additional paid-in capital.

Reclassifications

 

Certain amounts in the 2013 condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to the presentation in the current year condensed consolidated financial statements. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results.

 

 

NOTE 3 -       PREPAID EXPENSES

 

Prepaid expenses represent the unexpired terms of various consulting agreements and expire through September 2014, as well as advance rental payments.  The Company issued common stock and warrants as consideration for the consulting services, and were valued based on the stock price or computed warrant value at the time of the respective agreements.

In the event no revenues are generated through the use of any of the licensed patents during a given quarter, no money shall be owed ACI for such quarter. ACI has the right to rescind the license agreement and reclaim all rights and interest in the patents if certain events, such as the Company’s filing for bankruptcy protection or reorganization, occur. The license agreement remains in effect for the lives of the patents. The Company may utilize the technological applications anywhere in the world without limitation.  Upon execution of the Assignment and Assumption Agreement on December 11, 2009 (see Note 6), the Patent License Agreement was terminated.

Warrants

 

From time to time the Company granted warrants in connection with private placements of securities, as described herein.

 

In October 2009, the Company executed a warrant agreement with an investor relations company for 5,000,000 warrants to be issued in two tranches. The first tranche of 2,500,000 warrants (the “October warrants”) has been issued in October 2009, and the second tranche of 2,500,000 warrants has been issued on March 31, 2010 (the “March warrants”). The October warrants, which were initially set to expire October 25, 2012 but have been extended by the Company to expire on October 25, 2014, have strike prices as follows: 1,000,000 at $0.10 per share; 1,000,000 at $0.15 per share; and 500,000 at $0.20 per share. The March warrants, which were initially set to expire March 29, 2013 but have been extended by the Company to expire on March 29, 2015, have strike prices as follows: 500,000 at $0.20 per share; 1,000,000 at $0.25 per share; and 1,000,000 at $0.30 per share.

 

In June 2011, the Company issued warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share as partial consideration for a consulting agreement.  These warrants were initially set to expire on June 3, 2012 but have been extended by the Company to expire on June 3, 2014.

 

In connection with the extension of the above referenced warrants, the Company assigned a value of $364,077 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company recorded the charge to consulting expenses, included as a component of other general and administrative expenses, during the six months ended December 31, 2012.

 

In May 2012, the Company issued warrants to purchase 250,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share, as partial consideration for a consulting agreement for public relations services.  The warrants expire in May 2014.

 

As of September 30, 2013 and June 30, 2013, the following is a breakdown of the activity:

NOTE 8 -      LITIGATION

 

On July 27, 2010, the Company filed a second amended complaint (the “Visa and MasterCard Complaint”) in the United States District Court, Central District of California (the “Court”), Case No. 2:10-cv-01864, against MasterCard, Inc. and Visa, Inc. alleging patent infringement on the Company’s patent, U.S. Patent 6,792,464 (the “ ‘ 464 Patent”) (the “Visa and MasterCard Case”).

 

On December 7, 2010, the Company filed a complaint (the “AMEX Complaint”) in the Court, Case No. CV10-9371 JHN (MANx), against American Express Company (“AMEX”) alleging patent infringement on the ‘464 Patent (the “AMEX Case”).

 

On June 30, 2011, the Company filed a Notice of Appeal to the Judgment in the AMEX Case against what the Company believes to be erroneous definition and limitations placed on the ‘464 Patent as a result of wrongful interpretation. On July 1, 2012, the Company filed a Notice of Appeal to the Judgment in the Visa and MasterCard Case against what the Company believes to be erroneous interpretation of definitions and limitations placed on the ‘464 Patent by the Court.  

 

 On August 29, 2011, the Company filed a complaint in the United States District Court, Central District of California, against Master Card, Inc. (“MasterCard”) and Visa, Inc. (“Visa”) alleging patent infringement on the ‘464 Patent (the “August 2012 Case”).  The Company is seeking the following relief from MasterCard and Visa:

 

1.   For an order pursuant to 35 U.S.C. section 271 declaring that both MasterCard and Visa have infringed one or more claims of the ‘464 Patent;
2.   An award of actual damages the Company has suffered by reason of the infringement charged in the complaint in an amount not less than a reasonable royalty on both MasterCard’s and Visa’s infringement of the ‘464 Patent:
3.   An award to the Company of its costs; and
4.   Such other relief as the Court may deem just and proper.

 

In the prior Visa and MasterCard Case and AMEX case, the Court excluded “contactless” credit card/pay system from the scope of the ‘464 patent claims..  In the August 2012 Case, the Company charged that VISA and MasterCard’s EMV debit/credit card systems infringe the ‘464 Patent.  These systems do allow for physical insertion of an EMV/credit card into a recess of a data card reader. 

  

The Company has presented a claim for damages and a paid up royalty in the amount of $13.4 billion in connection with its patent infringement litigation against MasterCard and Visa, Inc. In October 2013, the Court held that the Defendants did not infringe on the ‘464 Patent. The Company believes this ruling is in error and has appealed the ruling.

 

VISA and MasterCard have, subsequent to our lodging an appeal, asked the District Court to award them attorneys' fees and costs approximating $3 million. SmartMetric is opposing this request, which SmartMetric believes is without merit because SmartMetric filed its suit in good faith, and has litigated the case in an objectively reasonable manner. SmartMetric expects the issue to be argued on December 9, 2013, and decided then, or soon thereafter.

 

SmartMetric’s opening brief on appeal must be filed by December 23, 2013 and the Company intends to file by that date. If Defendants file their opposition by the end of February, 2014, it is expected that oral argument of the appeal before the Court will be in June or July 2014.

Item 2.                       MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS

 

Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

  

In this quarterly report on Form 10-Q (“Report”), references to “SmartMetric,” “SMME,” “the Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Smartmetric, Inc.

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.

 

The forward-looking statements included herein are based on current expectations that involve a number of risks and uncertainties set forth under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended June 30, 2012 and other periodic reports filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, to the extent that this 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 undertake any responsibility to publicly release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to take into account events or circumstances that occur after the date of this Report, except as required by law.

Overview

 

Incorporated in 2002, SmartMetric and its founder and CEO, C. 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 Datacard has been designed to use an on-board finger print sensor which is embedded in the card along with an integrated circuit chip which will provide varying degrees of encrypted memory SmartMetric has completed development of its card along with pre mass manufacturing cards but has not yet begun to mass manufacture the biometric fingerprint activated cards.  To date, SmartMetric has had no sales revenues.

 

The manufacturing of the cards requires that the Company build not only a special factory that meets security conditions but also that the Company manufacture specialized mass production machines that will allow for the specialized manufacturing process required to mount sub micro thin silicon components; along with accredit card plastic manufacturing procedure that operates using low pressure and low heat so as not to harm the internal electronic components.

 

The Company is currently concentrating on building out its manufacturing facility that will be incorporating SmartMetric’s advanced manufacturing processes.  We expect to begin mass production of our product by February 2014, however this is dependent on a number of factors including the supply of specific silicon based components that may require a modest longer lead time then original planned.

 

The company may at its discretion for logistical reasons operate its initial manufacturing of plastic fingerprint activated cards in another location other than Buenos Aires, Argentina.

 

Our ability to continue as a going concern prior to the generation of sales is almost exclusively dependent upon our ability to raise capital, specifically through sales of unregistered securities.  The ability to raise capital through private placement sales is very unpredictable, thus greatly influencing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company’s research and development is being undertaken by contractors working in Israel and Argentina.

 

SmartMetric does not believe its business is seasonal.

 

Results of Operations

 

Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2013 and 2012

 

3
 

 

Revenue and Net Loss

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2013, there was no revenue and a net loss of $1,019,463.  For the three months ended September 30, 2012, there was no revenue and a net loss of $949,756.  This increased loss of $69,707 or 7.3% resulted primarily from higher research and development expenses.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2013 were $657,078, a decrease of $164,362 or 20.0% compared to $821,440 for the comparable period in 2012. This decrease was primarily attributed to lower consulting expenses.

 

Research and Development Expenses

 

Research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2013 were $314,885, an increase of $229,069 or 266.9% compared to $85,816 for the comparable period in 2012.   This increase was primarily attributable to higher engineering expenses.

 

Income Tax Expense

 

Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $0, unchanged from the comparable period in 2012.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company is a development stage company and has spent a majority of resources and time in developing its technology.  There is no guarantee that the Company can continue to raise enough capital or generate revenues to sustain its operations.  These conditions raise a substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management believes that the Company’s capital requirements will depend on a number of factors including the final phase of product development and the development of its production process as well as product implementation and distribution.  The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the carrying amounts of recorded assets or the carrying amount and classification of recorded liabilities that may be required should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

At September 30, 2013, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $16,984,057 and it is likely that the Company will incur additional losses in the future. While we have funded our operations since inception from operations and through private placements of equity securities, there can be no assurance that adequate financing will continue to be available to us and, if available, on terms that are favorable to us.

  

We believe that we will require additional financing to carry out our intended objectives during the next twelve months. There can be no assurance, however, that such financing will be available or, if it is available, that we will be able to structure such financing on terms acceptable to us and that it will be sufficient to fund our cash requirements until we can reach a level of profitable operations and positive cash flows. If we are unable to obtain the financing necessary to support our operations, we may be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

A downturn in the United States stock and debt markets could make it more difficult to obtain financing through the issuance of equity or debt securities. Even if we are able to raise the funds required, it is possible that we could incur unexpected costs and expenses, fail to collect significant amounts owed to us, or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force us to seek alternative financing. Further, if we issue additional equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our shares of common stock or the debt securities may cause us to be subject to restrictive covenants. There is a risk of dilution whenever the Company sells securities to raise capital. If additional financing is not available or is not available on acceptable terms, we will have to curtail our operations.

 

Cash

 

Our cash balance was $161,074 at September 30, 2013 compared with $804,257 at June 30, 2013.   The decrease was primarily attributable to higher general and administrative expenses and no revenues.

 

Net cash used in operating activities

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $906,131 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, an increase of $391,787 or 76.2% from the comparable period in 2012.  The Company is largely dependent on the capital it raises to fund operations.  When capital is raised the development process is accelerated, and when cash flows are decreased the Company conserves its cash by delaying development and other operating costs.

 

4
 

 

Net cash used in investing activities

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, unchanged from the comparable period in 2012.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was $262,948 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, an increase of $27,695 or 11.8% from the comparable period in 2012.  The increase was based on higher private placement equity shares.

 

Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements.

 

There were no off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2013 and June 30, 2013.

 

In connection with an Assignment and Assumption Agreement with Applied Cryptography, Inc. (“ACI”), a corporation controlled by the Company’s president and the owner of certain technology, ACI conveyed, assigned and transferred to the Company all of ACI's rights, title and interest in and to its patents (collectively, the “Patent”) and delegated to the Company all of its duties and obligations to be performed under the Patent.

 

In consideration for the assignment of the Patent, the Company issued 200,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. ACI may only convert these shares into common shares (in accordance with the conversion terms noted herein) upon delivering to the Company, a third party valuation of the assigned Patent conducted by a nationally qualified accounting firm or IP law firm mutually agreed upon between the Company and ACI, indicating that such Patent is valued at a minimum of $1,000,000.

  

Critical accounting policies and estimates

 

The condensed consolidated 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.

 

Intangible assets

 

During September 2013, the Company acquired license rights to ACI's BioCentric Cloud Device technology in consideration of the Company's intent to issue to ACI of 200,000 shares of its Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. As of the filing date, the Company has not increased its amount of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shares and, accordingly, these shares have not been issued.

 

Item 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

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 September 30, 2013, we had approximately $161,074 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.

 

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain "disclosure controls and procedures," as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

 

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, as of September 30, 2013, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in our periodic reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified for each report and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

In order to correct the foregoing deficiencies, we plan to take the following remediation measures:

 

1.We have committed to the establishment of effective internal audit functions, however, due to the limited resources of the Company and the limited operations, we plan to defer the establishment of an effective internal audit function until our product is ready for production and sale.
2.Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible.  However, to the extent possible, we will implement procedures to ensure that the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions will be performed by capable individuals.

 

We believe that the foregoing steps will remediate the deficiencies identified above, and we will continue to monitor the effectiveness of these steps and make any changes that our management deems appropriate.  However, as of September 30, 2013, these steps have not been completed.

 

A material weakness (within the meaning of PCAOB auditing standard No. 5) is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.  A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those responsible for oversight of the company’s financial reporting.

 

Our management is aware of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, and has acknowledged the increased possibility of errors existing in our financial statements as of September 30, 2013.  The reportable conditions and other areas of internal control over financial reporting identified by us as needing improvement have cause an increased possibility of a material misstatement of our financial statements, however we are not aware of any instance where such reportable conditions or other identified areas of weakness have resulted in a material misstatement or omission in any report we have filed with or submitted to the Commission.  Accordingly, while we believe that our financial controls were ineffective, we do not believe there to be any material misstatements in our financial statements at September 30, 2013.

  

 Limitations on Controls

 

Management does not expect that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures or the Company's 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.  The Company's disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and the Company's chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective at that reasonable assurance level.

 

Changes in Internal Controls

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2013, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.

 

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

From time to time we may be a defendant or plaintiff in various legal proceedings arising in the normal course of our business.   Except as described below, we know of no material, active, pending or threatened proceeding against us or our subsidiaries, nor are we, or any subsidiary, involved as a plaintiff or defendant in any material proceeding or pending litigation.

 

On July 27, 2010, the Company filed a second amended complaint (the “Visa and MasterCard Complaint”) in the United States District Court, Central District of California (the “Court”), Case No. 2:10-cv-01864, against MasterCard, Inc. and Visa, Inc. alleging patent infringement on the Company’s patent, U.S. Patent 6,792,464 (the “ ‘ 464 Patent”) (the “Visa and MasterCard Case”).

On December 7, 2010, the Company filed a complaint (the “AMEX Complaint”) in the Court, Case No. CV10-9371 JHN (MANx), against American Express Company (“AMEX”) alleging patent infringement on the ‘464 Patent (the “AMEX Case”).

 

On June 30, 2011, the Company filed a Notice of Appeal to the Judgment in the AMEX Case against what the Company believes to be erroneous definition and limitations placed on the ‘464 Patent as a result of wrongful interpretation. On July 1, 2012, the Company filed a Notice of Appeal to the Judgment in the Visa and MasterCard Case against what the Company believes to be erroneous interpretation of definitions and limitations placed on the ‘464 Patent by the Court.  

 

 On August 29, 2011, the Company filed a complaint in the United States District Court, Central District of California, against Master Card, Inc. (“MasterCard”) and Visa, Inc. (“Visa”) alleging patent infringement on the ‘464 Patent (the “August 2012 Case”).  The Company is seeking the following relief from MasterCard and Visa:

 

1.   For an order pursuant to 35 U.S.C. section 271 declaring that both MasterCard and Visa have infringed one or more claims of the ‘464 Patent;
2.   An award of actual damages the Company has suffered by reason of the infringement charged in the complaint in an amount not less than a reasonable royalty on both MasterCard’s and Visa’s infringement of the ‘464 Patent:
3.   An award to the Company of its costs; and
4.   Such other relief as the Court may deem just and proper.

 

In the prior Visa and MasterCard Case and AMEX case, the Court excluded “contactless” credit card/pay system from the scope of the ‘464 patent claims..  In the August 2012 Case, the Company charged that VISA and MasterCard’s EMV debit/credit card systems infringe the ‘464 Patent.  These systems do allow for physical insertion of an EMV/credit card into a recess of a data card reader. 

  

The Company has presented a claim for damages and a paid up royalty in the amount of $13.4 billion in connection with its patent infringement litigation against MasterCard and Visa, Inc. In October 2013, the Court held that the Defendants did not infringe on the ‘464 Patent. The Company believes this ruling is in error and has appealed the ruling.

 

VISA and MasterCard have, subsequent to our lodging an appeal, asked the District Court to award them attorneys' fees and costs approximating $3 million. SmartMetric is opposing this request, which SmartMetric believes is without merit because SmartMetric filed its suit in good faith, and has litigated the case in an objectively reasonable manner. SmartMetric expects the issue to be argued on December 9, 2013, and decided then, or soon thereafter.

 

SmartMetric’s opening brief on appeal must be filed by December 23, 2013, and intends to file by that date. If Defendants file their opposition by the end of February, 2014, it is expected that oral argument of the appeal before the Court will be in June or July 2014.

 

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

Not Applicable.

 

Item 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

 

The following summarizes the securities that we sold during the three months ended September 30, 2013 without registering the securities under the Securities Act:

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2013, the Company sold for cash 515,367 shares and twelve month warrants to purchase an additional 515,367 shares at $0.50 per share for net proceeds of $123,474.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2013, the Company issued 130,875 shares for consulting services.

 

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 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" and otherwise had the requisite sophistication to make an investment in SmartMetric's securities.
