(A Development Stage Enterprise)
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of the Business
LaserLock Technologies, Inc. and Subsidiary (the “Company”) is a development stage enterprise incorporated in the state of Nevada on November 10, 1999. LaserLock Technologies, Inc. seeks to provide state-of-the-art authentication solutions to governments, health care providers, high-end retailers and the gaming industry. LaserLock Technologies, Inc. is based in Washington, D.C. and is publically traded on the OTC Market under the ticker symbol “LLTI”. The Company markets security technology to protect governments, health care providers, high-end retail goods, the gaming industry and branded products from counterfeiting.
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements are presented in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) 915 for development stage entities. The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Principle of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of LaserLock Technologies, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, LL Security Products, Inc. All inter-company transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Comprehensive Income
The Company follows FASB ASC 220 in reporting comprehensive income. Comprehensive income is a more inclusive financial reporting methodology that includes disclosure of certain financial information that historically has not been recognized in the calculation of net income. Since the Company has no items of other comprehensive income (loss), comprehensive income (loss) is equal to net income (loss).
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, embedded derivative, warrant liability and notes payable. The carrying value of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair value because of their short maturities. The Company believes the carrying amount of its notes payable and convertible debt approximates its fair value based on rates and other terms currently available to the Company for similar debt instruments.
The Company follows FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, and applies it to all assets and liabilities that are being measured and reported on a fair value basis. The statement requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value will be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data
The level in the fair value within which a fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Concentration of Credit Risk Involving Cash
The Company’s cash is held at two financial institutions. At times, the Company’s deposits may exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) coverage limits. The Company has not experienced any losses from maintaining cash accounts in excess of federally insured limits.
Inventory
Inventory principally consists of penlights and pigments and is stated at the lower of cost (determined by the first-in, first-out method) or market.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, principally three to seven years. Maintenance and repairs of property are charged to operations, and major improvements are capitalized. Upon retirement, sale, or other disposition of property and equipment, the costs and accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is included in operations. Depreciation of property and equipment was $17,313 and $51,525 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and $0 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and included in general and administrative expenses.
Patents and Trademark
The Company has five issued patents, filed for three provisional patents for anti-counterfeiting technology and purchased a trademark. Costs associated with the registration and legal defense of the patents have been capitalized and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated lives of the patents which were determined to be 17 to 20 years.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets in accordance with FASB ASC 360 “Property, Plant, and Equipment.” The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets are measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset, undiscounted and without interest or independent appraisals. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the assets.
Deferred Financing Costs
Costs incurred in securing long-term debt are deferred and amortized, as a charge to interest expense, over the term of the related debt. In the case of long-term debt modifications, the Company follows the guidance provided by FASB ASC 470-50 “Debt – Modification and Extinguishments.”
Convertible Notes Payable
Convertible notes payable, for which the embedded conversion feature does not qualify for derivative treatment, are evaluated to determine if the effective or actual rate of conversion per the terms of the convertible note agreement is below market value. In these instances, the Company accounts for the value of the beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) as a debt discount, which is then accreted to interest expense over the life of the related debt using the straight-line method which approximates the effective interest method.
Revenue Recognition
In accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104, Revenue Recognition (Codified in FASB ASC 605), the Company recognizes revenue when (i) persuasive evidence of a customer or distributor arrangement exists, (ii) a retailer, distributor or wholesaler receives the goods and acceptance occurs, (iii) the price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability of the revenue is reasonably assured. Subject to these criteria, the Company recognizes revenue from product sales, consisting mainly of pigments and penlights, upon shipment to the customer. Royalty revenue is recognized upon receipt of notification from a customer that the Company’s product has been used in the customer’s production process.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Income Taxes
The Company follows FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for temporary differences between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Stock-based Payments
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the provisions of FASB ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based awards made to employees and directors based on estimated fair values on the grant date. The Company estimates the fair value of stock-based awards on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods using the straight-line method. The Company accounts for stock-based compensation awards to non-employees in accordance with FASB ASC 505 -50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees (“ASC 505-50”). Under ASC 505-50, the Company determines the fair value of the warrants or stock-based compensation awards granted as either the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. All issuances of stock options or other equity instruments to non-employees as consideration for goods or services received by the Company are accounted for based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued. Any stock options issued to non-employees are recorded as an expense and additional paid-in capital in stockholders’ equity over the applicable service periods.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs were $23,615 and $29,371 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and $0 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, and are included in sales and marketing expenses.
Research and Development Costs
In accordance with FASB ASC 730, research and development costs are expensed when incurred. Non-cash items included in research and development costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 were approximately $137,500 and $412,500 and $0 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The Company follows FASB ASC 260 when reporting Earnings Per Share resulting in the presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Since the Company reported a net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, common stock equivalents, including stock options and warrants were anti-dilutive; therefore, the amounts reported for basic and dilutive earnings (loss) per share were the same.
The numerator for both basic and diluted earnings per share is net income. The denominator for basic earnings per share is the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The dilutive effect of outstanding convertible debt, stock options and warrants is reflected in the denominator for diluted earnings per share using the treasury stock method.
The following is a reconciliation of basic shares to diluted shares:
Three Months Ended September 30, | Nine Months Ended September 30, | |||||||||||||||
2013 | 2012 | 2013 | 2012 | |||||||||||||
Weighted-average shares – basic | 247,476,627 | 145,144,603 | 240,255,146 | 145,144,603 | ||||||||||||
Effect of dilutive securities | 217,777,053 | — | — | — | ||||||||||||
Weighted-average shares – diluted | 465,253,680 | 145,144,603 | 240,255,146 | 145,144,603 |
Segment Information
The Company is organized and operates as one operating segment wherein the Company’s patented technologies are utilized to address counterfeiting issues. In accordance with FASB ASC 280, Segment Reporting, the chief operating decision-maker has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer, who reviews operating results to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company subject to Board approval. Since the Company operates in one segment and provides one group of similar products, all financial segment and product line information required by FASB ASC 280 can be found in the consolidated financial statements.
Reclassification
Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
As of September 30, 2013 and for the period then ended, there were no recently adopted accounting pronouncements that had a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In July 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) ASU 2013-11, Presentation of Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. The amendments in this update provide guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists, in order to eliminate the diversity in practice in the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits in such instances. This guidance generally requires that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward. However, to the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The assessment of whether a deferred tax asset is available is based on the unrecognized tax benefit and deferred tax asset that exist at the reporting date and should be made presuming disallowance of the tax position at the reporting date. ASU 2013-11 is effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating ASU 2013-11 and plans to comply with all applicable provisions of this ASU no later than the first quarter of 2014.
NOTE 2 – MANAGEMENT PLANS
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred significant losses and experienced negative cash flow from operations during the development stage. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
The Company believes that its existing cash resources will not be sufficient to sustain operations during the next twelve months. The Company currently needs to generate revenue in order to sustain its operations. In the event that the Company cannot generate sufficient revenue to sustain its operations, the Company will need to reduce expenses or obtain financing through the sale of debt and/or equity securities. The issuance of additional equity would result in dilution to existing shareholders. If the Company is unable to obtain additional funds when they are needed or if such funds cannot be obtained on terms acceptable to the Company, the Company may be unable to execute upon the business plan or pay costs and expenses as they are incurred, which could have a material, adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of operations.
If sufficient revenues are not generated to sustain operations or additional funding cannot be obtained in the short term, the Company will need to reduce monthly expenditures to a level that will enable the Company to continue until such funds can be obtained.
The Company is in the development stage at September 30, 2013. Successful completion of the Company’s development program, and the attainment of profitable operations are dependent upon future events, including obtaining adequate financing to fulfill its development activities and achieving a level of sales adequate to support the Company’s cost structure. However, there can be no assurances that the Company will be able to secure additional equity investment or achieve an adequate sales level.
NOTE 3 – PATENTS AND TRADEMARK
The Company has five issued patents and filed for three additional provisional patents for anti-counterfeiting technology. Accordingly, costs associated with the registration of these patents and legal defense have been capitalized and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated lives of the patents (17 to 20 years). During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company capitalized patent costs of $0 and $21,594 and $0 and $2,406 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012. Amortization expense for patents was $3,277 and $9,814 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and $2,768 and $8,328 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and included in general and administrative expense. Future estimated annual amortization over the next five years is approximately $13,100 per year for the years ended December 31, 2013 through 2017. In December 2012, the Company had purchased trademarks, a domain name and software from a third party and in the second quarter of 2013, reallocated the purchase price of $200,000 from intangibles to capital equipment based on the determined fair value of the assets acquired.
NOTE 4 – INCOME TAXES
Income tax expense was $0 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.
As of December 31, 2012, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards approximating $8.3 million.
As of January 1, 2013, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits, and accordingly, the Company did not recognize interest or penalties during 2013 related to unrecognized tax benefits. There has been no change in unrecognized tax benefits during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, and there was no accrual for uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2013. Tax years from 2009 through 2012 remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions.
There is no income tax benefit for the income for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and for the losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, since management has determined that the realization of the net tax deferred asset is not assured and has created a valuation allowance for the entire amount of such benefits.

NOTE 5 - SENIOR SECURED CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE
In February 2006, the Company commenced a private placement of up to $800,000 principal amount of 10% senior secured convertible promissory notes due twelve months from the date of issue to certain Company shareholders and other accredited investors. As of December 31, 2006, the Company completed this private placement by selling all notes payable totaling $800,000. The notes are secured by a first priority lien on all of the tangible and intangible personal property of the Company. In May 2007, the due date of these notes was extended to August 2008 and the interest rate increased to 12% per annum during the extension period. In June 2011, the interest rate on all of the notes was reset to 10% and $596,500 of the notes and accrued interest was extended until September 15, 2015. During the fourth quarter of 2012 the remaining $178,749 of unextended notes and the associated accrued interest were extended to September 30, 2015. In June 2013, $225,000 of these notes payable plus accrued interest of $181,125 were converted into 7.4 million shares of the Company’s common stock, which was valued at $1,628,000. The excess of the fair value of the Company’s common stock over the value of the notes payable and accrued interest was recorded as loss on extinguishment of debt in accordance with FASB ASC 470-50. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the outstanding principal balance on these notes was $550,249 and $775,249. Accrued interest at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 amounted to $478,370 and $600,091. Purchasers of the notes were issued 8,000,000 10-year warrants exercisable into the Company’s shares at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. The warrants were valued at $392,376 and recorded as a debt discount on the notes payable. The Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the grant-date fair value of the warrants, with the following assumptions: no dividend yield, expected volatility of 169% and 284%, risk-free interest rate between 3.6% and 4.5% and expected warrant life of ten years. The deferred finance charges were amortized over one year, which was the original term of the notes. As of June 30, 2013, the Company has received $80,000 for the exercise of 8,000,000 of the warrants. In addition, if an equity financing with total proceeds of more than $5,000,000 occurs while any notes are outstanding, holders of notes will have the right, at their option, to convert the outstanding principal and interest of the notes into shares at a discount of 30% of the price per share in the qualified financing. Since the embedded conversion feature is contingent upon the occurrence of the qualified financing, the value of the contingent conversion feature, if beneficial, will be recognized when the triggering event occurs and the contingency is resolved.

NOTE 6 - CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE
During 2007, the Company commenced a private placement of up to $400,000 principal amount of 10% Convertible Promissory Notes originally due in August 2008 (the “Notes”). The Company raised $375,000 under this private placement in 2007 and the remaining $25,000 was raised in 2008. Holders of Notes will have the right, at their option, to convert the outstanding principal and interest of the Notes into shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock at any time and from time to time at the option of the holder at the initial conversion price of $0.005333 per share. It is the intention, however, that the option holder will convert the Notes into shares of the Company’s common stock. The Notes are unsecured. The note holder of the remaining $140,000 under this convertible note issue agreed to extend the maturity date of these notes to September 30, 2015 at an interest rate of 10% per annum. Remaining shares to be potentially issued under this convertible note issue are 18,375,000.
On March 19, 2013, the investor holding $140,000 of convertible notes transferred $14,000 of the $140,000 convertible notes to the Vice Chairman of the Company. Also on March 19, 2013, the investor agreed to convert $28,000 of the investor’s remaining $126,000 of convertible notes into 5,250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

Unsecured Notes Payable
During the second quarter of 2012, the Company received $200,000 for a 10% unsecured note payable, due April 27, 2013. In December 2012, this note payable and accrued interest of $9,167 was converted into 4,703,711 shares of the Company’s common stock.
Private Placement of 8% Series A Notes Payable
In August 2009, the Company commenced a private placement of up to $300,000 consisting of up to 6 units. Each unit consists of a $50,000, 8% Series A Note Payable, due September 30, 2011, and a non-detachable warrant to purchase 2 million shares of the Company’s common stock. During 2009, the Company sold 4 units, issued $200,000 of 8% Series A Notes Payable, issued 8 million warrants, and raised $180,000, net of commission of $20,000. In January 2010, the Company sold 0.5 unit, issued $25,000 of 8% Series A Notes Payable, issued 1 million warrants, and raised $17,500 net of commissions of $7,500. The commissions were treated as deferred finance charges and are expensed over the term of notes payable, which have been fully expensed.
The 8 million warrants in 2009 were valued at $15,450, fair value, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the fair-value of the warrants, with the following assumptions: no dividend yield, expected volatility of between 30.9% and 34.5%, risk free interest rate between .95% and 1.06% and warrant life of approximately 2 years. The 1 million warrants in 2010 were valued at $20,143, fair value, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the fair-value of the warrants, with the following assumptions: no dividend yield, expected volatility of 28.6 %, risk free interest rate of .84% and warrant life of approximately 2 years.
In June 2011, the maturity date on the $150,000 of the 8% Series A Notes Payable and the term on the associated 6 million warrants were extended to September 30, 2015. As a result, the warrants were revalued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the incremental fair-value of the warrants of $21,275, with the following assumptions: no dividend yield, expected volatility of 60%, risk free interest rate of 1.52% and warrant life of approximately 1.25 years. As part of the debt extension, the lender holding the 6 million warrants agreed in writing to suspend its right to exercise these warrants until such time that the Company’s authorized shares have been increased. The authorized shares of the Company’s common stock were increased effective May 23, 2013 from 425,000,000 to 675,000,000.
The relative fair value of the warrants issued in conjunction with the 8% Series A Notes Payable have been treated as a debt discount with an offsetting credit to additional paid-in capital. The debt discount related to the warrant issuances is being accreted to interest expense over the term of the notes. When the warrants were revalued the incremental amount of $21,275 was also treated as additional debt discount and is being accreted over the new term of the 8% Series A Notes Payable. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the unaccreted debt discount related to warrants issued in conjunction with the 8% Series A Notes payable was $9,914 and $13,632. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 accreted interest expense from the accretion of the debt discount was $1,239 and $3,718 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, accreted interest expense from the accretion of the debt discount was $1,239 and $3,718.
During the third quarter of 2011, $25,000 plus accrued interest of the 8% Series A Notes Payable were repaid and 3 million of the associated warrants expired unexercised.
Private Placement of 25% Notes Payable
In 2010, the Company issued $400,000 in notes payable in order to finance a patent infringement lawsuit (see Note 14 - Contingencies to these condensed consolidated financial statements). The notes payable accrue interest at 25% per annum and mature upon the earlier of September 1, 2013 or the date on which the Company receives net proceeds from the patent infringement claim. In addition to the base interest of 25% per annum, the lenders are entitled to Bonus Interest equal to the following:
a. | First monies realized by the Company from its share of the net proceeds of the lawsuit shall be allocated and paid to the Lender until the principal and base interest accruing has been fully paid. |
b. | The next monies from the net proceeds of the litigation settlement will be paid to the Company to reimburse for out-of-pocket legal costs related to the lawsuit. |

c. | The next $825,000 of proceeds will be split 50%/50% between the Company and the Lenders. |
d. | The next $1 million realized by the Company shall be allocated 90% to the Company and 10% to the Lenders. |
e. | The next $1 million realized by Company shall be allocated 85% to Company and 15% to Lenders. |
f. | All remaining proceeds realized by Company shall be allocated 80% to Company and 20% to Lenders. |
The Lenders have a security interest in the Company’s patent infringement claim in which the Lender has the right to the net proceeds of this lawsuit to satisfy outstanding principal and interest under the notes.
As part of the private placement of the 25% notes payable, the Company incurred debt placement fees of $34,500 in 2010. These debt placement fees have been treated as deferred finance charges and are being amortized to interest expense over two years. During 2012, the deferred finance charges were fully amortized. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 amortization of deferred finance charges was $3,937 and $12,562.
In December 2012, $250,000 of these notes payable and accrued interest of $122,397 were converted into 8,219,911 shares of the Company’s common stock. In March 2013, the remaining $150,000 of the notes payable and accrued interest of $70,000 were converted into 3 million shares of the Company’s common stock. Accrued interest of $13,895 was paid in cash.

NOTE 8 – WARRANT LIABILITY
On December 31, 2012, the Company entered into an Investment Agreement, a Technology and Services Agreement, a Technology and Services Agreement with Zaah Technologies, Inc. (“Zaah”)., a Patent and Technology License Agreement, and an Asset Purchase Agreement (collectively the “Agreements”). Included in these Agreements were Warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock.
The warrants associated with these Agreements are subject to anti-dilution adjustments outlined in the Agreements. In accordance with FASB ASC 815, the warrants were classified as a liability in the total amount of $2.4 million at December 31, 2012. In addition, the warrants must be valued every reporting period and adjusted to market with the increase or decrease being adjusted through earnings. As of September 30, 2013, the value of the warrants increased to $5,200,000 resulting in a charge to income of $5,984,749 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and a charge to expense of $2,800,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
NOTE 9 – CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

At any time within two years after January 31, 2013, the subscriber has the right, but not the obligation to require the Company to repurchase all, but not less than all, of the capital stock of the Company and warrants exercisable for capital stock of the Company held by subscriber in exchange for the price originally paid by the subscriber therefore upon the occurrence of any of the following events:(i) the consummation of any bona fide business acquisition, (ii) the incurring of any indebtedness by the Company in an amount in excess of $2 million, (iii) the issuance or sale of any security having a preference on liquidation senior to common stock, or (iv) the sale by the Company of capital stock or warrants exercisable for its capital stock at a price below $0.03 per share.
In accordance with FASB ASC 480 and 815, the Preferred Stock has been classified as permanent equity and was valued at $1 million at January 31, 2013.
The conversion feature of the Preferred Stock is an embedded derivative, which is classified as a liability in accordance with FASB ASC 815 and was valued in accordance with FASB ASC 470 as a beneficial conversion feature at a fair market value of $1 million at January 31, 2013 and $1,500,000 at September 30, 2013. This was classified as an embedded derivative liability and a discount to Preferred Stock. Because the Preferred Stock can be converted at any time, the full amount was accreted and classified as a reduction to the discount on Preferred Stock and a deemed dividend distribution in the full amount of $1 million.
Because the Preferred Stock can be converted at any time, the embedded derivative is classified as a current liability at September 30, 2013.
The warrants associated with the Preferred Stock were also classified as a liability and valued at a fair market of $2,995,791 at January 31, 2013. Because this amount was in entirely in excess of the transaction price, this amount was recorded as a charge to expenses of $2,995,791. In addition, the warrants must be valued every reporting period and adjusted to market with the increase or decrease being adjusted through earnings. As of September 30, 2013, the value of the warrants increased to $3,300,000 resulting in an increase in income of $3,691,416 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and a charge to expenses of $3,300,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
The Convertible Preferred Stock has a preference in liquidation that the holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock are to be paid out of assets available for distribution prior to holders of common stock. The Convertible Preferred Stockholders may cast the number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of common stock into which the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock can be converted. In addition, the Convertible Preferred Stockholders are to be paid dividends, based on the number of Convertible Preferred shares as if the shares had been converted to common shares, prior to the common stockholders receiving a dividend.
The conversion price of the Preferred A shares is currently $0.03 per share. There are no arrearages on cumulative dividends.
In August 2013, VerifyMe elected to convert in a cashless transaction an equal number of Preferred A stock valued at $366,667 to 12,222,222 shares of common stock.
NOTE 10 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Derivative Liabilities
For purposes of determining whether certain instruments are derivatives for accounting treatment, the Company follows the accounting standard that provides guidance for determining whether an equity-linked financial instrument, or embedded feature, is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The standard applies to any freestanding financial instruments or embedded features that have the characteristics of a derivative, and to any freestanding financial instruments that are potentially settled in an entity’s own common stock.

The Company has identified the following liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, summarized as follows:
September 30, 2013 | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | ||||||||||||
Derivative liability related to fair value of beneficial conversion feature | $ | - | $ | 1,500,000 | $ | - | $ | 1,500,000 | ||||||||

Total | $ | - | $ | - | $ | 2,400,000 | $ | 2,400,000 |
The following table details the approximate fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy of the Company’s derivative liabilities using Level 3 inputs:
Total | ||||
Balance at January 1, 2013 | $ | 2,400,000 | ||
Derivative liabilities resulting from Subscription Agreement | 2,998,027 | |||
Change in fair value of derivative liabilities | 3,101,973 | |||

Change in fair value of derivative liabilities | (9,676,165 | ) | ||
Balance at September 30, 2013 | $ | 8,500,000 |
As of September 30, 2013, the beneficial conversion feature of the preferred stock is treated as an embedded derivative liability and changes in the fair value were recognized in earnings. The preferred stock shares are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, which did trade in an active securities market, therefore the embedded derivative liability was valued using the following market based inputs:
September 30, 2013 | ||||
Closing Trading Price of Common Stock | $0.10 | |||
Series A Preferred Stock Conversion Price | $0.03 | |||
Intrinsic value of conversion option per share | $0.07 |
The Company has no assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. There were no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.
As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company’s outstanding warrants are treated as derivative liabilities and changes in the fair value were recognized in earnings. These common stock purchase warrants did not trade in an active securities market, and as such, the Company estimated the fair value of these warrants using Black-Scholes and the following assumptions:
September 30, 2013 | ||||
Annual Dividend Yield | 0.0% | |||
Expected Life (Years) | 4.25 – 4.34 | |||
Risk-Free Interest Rate | 1.39% | |||
Expected Volatility | 266.9% |
Expected volatility was based primarily on historical volatility. Historical volatility was computed using daily pricing observations for recent periods. The Company believed this method produced an estimate that was representative of the Company’s expectations of future volatility over the expected term of these warrants. The Company had no reason to believe future volatility over the expected remaining life of these warrants was likely to differ materially from historical volatility. The expected life was based on the remaining contractual term of the warrants. The risk-free rate was based on the U.S. Treasury rate that corresponded to the expected term of the warrants.

NOTE 12 – STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS
During 1999, the Board of Directors (“Board”) of the Company adopted, with the approval of the stockholders, a Stock Option Plan. In 2000, the Board superseded that plan and created a new Stock Option Plan, pursuant to which it is authorized to grant options to purchase up to 1.5 million shares of common stock. On December 17, 2003, the Board, with approval of the stockholders, superseded this plan and created the 2003 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”). Under the Plan the Company is authorized to grant options to purchase up to 18,000,000 shares of common stock to the Company’s employees, officers, directors, consultants, and other agents and advisors. The Plan is intended to permit stock options granted to employees under the Plan to qualify as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Incentive Stock Options”). All options granted under the Plan, which are not intended to qualify as Incentive Stock Options, are deemed to be non-qualified options (“Non-Statutory Stock Options”). As of September 30, 2013, there are 16,925,996 options that have been issued and exercised, 1,000,000 options that have been issued and are unexercised and 74,004 options that are available to be issued under the Plan.
The Plan is administered by a committee of the Board of Directors (“Stock Option Committee”) which determines the persons to whom awards will be granted, the number of awards to be granted and the specific terms of each grant, including the vesting thereof, subject to the provisions of the plan.
In connection with Incentive Stock Options, the exercise price of each option may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of the grant (or 110% of the fair market value in the case of a grantee holding more than 10% of the outstanding stock of the Company). The aggregate fair market value (determined at the time of the grant) of stock for which an employee may exercise Incentive Stock Options under all plans of the company shall not exceed $1,000,000 per calendar year. If any employee shall have the right to exercise any options in excess of $100,000 during any calendar year, the options in excess of $100,000 shall be deemed to be Non-Statutory Stock Options, including prices, duration, transferability and limitations on exercise.
The Company issued non-statutory stock options pursuant to contractual agreements to non-employees. Options granted under the agreements are expensed when the related service or product is provided.

Overview
LaserLock Technologies, Inc. is a global leader in providing state-of-the-art authentication solutions to governments, health care providers, high-end retailers and the gaming industry. LaserLock Technologies, Inc. is based in Washington, D.C. and is publicly traded on the OTC Market under the ticker symbol “LLTI”. The Company markets security technology to protect governments, health care providers, high-end retail goods, the gaming industry and branded products from counterfeiting.
We were incorporated in Nevada in November 1999. We are a technology company that delivers product and document authentication and security. We plan to develop and market technologies in a variety of applications in the security field.
We believe that the technologies we own will enable businesses to reconstruct their overall approaches to corporate security - from counterfeit identification to employee or customer monitoring. Potential applications of our technologies are available in different types of products and industries including gaming, apparel, tobacco, perfume, compact disks, pharmaceuticals, event and transportation tickets, driver’s licenses, insurance cards, passports, computer software, DVDs, and credit cards. We intend to generate sales through licenses of our technology or through direct sales of our technology to end-users.
-26- |
We have five issued patents and submitted three provisional applications relating to our technology. We also acquired the VerifyMe trademark. These patents seek to accomplish non-intrusive document and product authentication in order to reduce losses caused by unpermitted document reproduction or by product counterfeiting. The technologies involve the utilization of invisible or color shifting/changing inks, which are compatible with today’s printing machines. The inks may be used with certain printing systems such as offset, flexographic, silkscreen, gravure, and laser. Based upon the Company’s experience, we believe that the ink technologies may be incorporated into existing manufacturing processes.
Strategic Outlook
We believe that the security and authentication industries will continue to grow over time, especially as counterfeiting becomes easier with advances in technology. Within the market, we intend to provide our products to government bodies and merchants in the consumer products, gaming and financial services industries.
Sustained spending on technology, our ability to raise additional financing, and the continued growth of the security and authentication markets are all external conditions that may affect our ability to execute our business plan. In addition, certain potential customers may view our small size and limited financial resources as a negative even if they prefer our products to those of our competitors.
Our primary strategic objective over the next 12-24 months is to successfully market our products and generate revenue that is sufficient to cover our operating expenses and support additional growth over the next several years. We plan to achieve this objective through a targeted marketing program. As we grow, we intend to hire additional professionals to develop new products and market our products.
We believe that our near-term success will depend particularly on our ability to develop customer awareness and confidence in our products. Since we have limited capital resources, we will need to closely manage our expenses and conserve our cash by continually monitoring any increase in expenses and reducing or eliminating unnecessary expenditures. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties encountered by companies in the development stage, particularly given that we operate in rapidly evolving markets, that we have limited financial resources, and face an uncertain economic environment. We may not be successful in addressing such risks and difficulties.
Results of Operations
Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2013 and 2012

We are a development stage company and have not generated significant revenue since our inception. For the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, we generated $0 and $3,289 of total net revenues, respectively. Our net income (loss) increased $8,365,536 to $8,210,193 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to ($155,343) for the three months ended September 30, 2012, primarily as a result of fair value adjustments to our outstanding warrant liability offset by operating and interest expenses.
Cost of Sales
For the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, we incurred costs of sales of $0 and $2,047, respectively.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses increased $213,380 to $232,291 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 from $18,911 for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The increase is attributable to increases in depreciation, insurance, office expenses, payroll taxes and rent. The increases primarily resulted from the hiring of employees and the opening of an office in Washington D.C.
Legal and Accounting
Legal and accounting fees increased $105,638 to $110,187 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 from $4,549 for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The increase in legal and accounting fees between the periods was primarily related to patent costs and costs associated with the Form S-1 Registration filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in August 2013.
Payroll Expenses
Payroll expenses were $344,539 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, an increase of $344,539 from $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The increase relates to the hiring of additional employees.

Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2013 were $78,225 as compared to $55,463 for the three months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of $22,762.

The decrease in interest expense is a result of a reduction in interest expense from the conversion and settlement of various notes payable in previous years and quarters.
Change in fair value of warrants
During the three months ended September 30, 2013, the Company incurred a gain on the change in the fair value of warrants of $9,676,165 as compared to $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The increase resulted from the valuation of warrants associated with the Investment Agreement entered into on December 31, 2012 and the Subscription Agreement entered into on January 31, 2013. The value of the warrant liability has decreased because the stock price has decreased.
Change in fair value embedded derivative liability
Change in fair value of embedded derivative liability increased $500,000 to $1,500,000 at September 30, 2013 resulting in an additional expense. The change in the liability was attributed to change in the fair value of the Company’s stock price.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company incurred interest expense of $116,918, as compared to $229,125 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, a decrease of $112,207. The decrease in interest expense is a result of the conversion and settlement of various notes payable in previous years and quarters.
Loss on extinguishment of debt
The loss from extinguishment of debt was $1,221,875 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase in loss on extinguishment of debt is a result of the excess fair value of the common stock issued over the value of the notes payable and accrued interest that were retired in the three months ended September 30, 2013.
Change in fair value of warrants
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the change in fair value of the Company’s warrants was $3,104,209 as compared to $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The change resulted from the valuation of warrants associated with the Investment Agreement entered into on December 31, 2012 and the Subscription Agreement entered into on January 31, 2013. The values of the warrants have decreased because the stock price has decreased.

Change in fair value embedded derivative liability
Change in fair value of embedded derivative liability increased $500,000 to $1,500,000 at September 30, 2013 resulting in an additional expense. The change in the liability was attributed to change in the fair value of the Company’s stock price.
Fair value of warrants in excess of consideration for convertible preferred stock
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company incurred a change in the fair value of warrants that were issued in excess of consideration for convertible preferred stock of $2,995,791 as compared to $0 for the nine months ended September 3, 2012. The change resulted from the valuation of warrants associated with the Subscription Agreement entered into on January 31, 2013.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2013, we had cash on hand of $2,216,100.
Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 increased to $2,008,642 from $187,334 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of $1,821,308. The increase in net cash used in operating activities is mainly related to the expansion of operations including hiring employees, increased marketing efforts and opening an office in Washington, D.C.
Net cash used in investing activities, consisting of equipment purchases and patent costs, was $32,527 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and $2,406 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of $30,121.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $1,262,919 and $200,000, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. The net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 relates to $1 million from the sale of the Company’s preferred stock and a warrant, and $262,919 in proceeds received from the issuance of common stock and exercise of stock options. The net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was a result of additional debt financing of $200,000 obtained during the three months ended June 30, 2012.
The Company is in the development stage. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company’s operational resources were used primarily to fund general and administrative expenses, hire employees and expand the continuing sales and marketing program.
The Company has entered into two new agreements which are expected to significantly improve revenues in the fourth quarter.
The first, with American Banknote Corporation, is an exclusive worldwide strategic partnership that will incorporate the company’s newest technology, “SecureLight+” into drivers’ licenses, national ID cards, passports, debit and credit cards, smart cards and postage stamps.
The second agreement is with Gaming Partners International, the leading provider of casino currency worldwide. This agreement pertains to the testing of the Company’s new invisible QR code technology on gaming chips and playing cards and is one of the most secure anti-counterfeiting tools on the market. The technology enables verification with a proprietary mobile phone application.
As we have not realized significant revenues since our inception, we have financed our operations through private offerings of debt and equity securities. We do not currently maintain a line of credit or term loan with any commercial bank or other financial institution. The following sets forth our primary sources of capital during the previous two years.

(b) | Payment 2, payable on January 1, 2014: The sum of Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($400,000), to be paid by issuing (i) a number of shares equal to (x) $400,000 divided by (y) a price which equals a 10% discount to market and (ii) cashless exercise warrants to purchase an equal number of shares exercisable at a price of Ten Cents ($0.10) per share with a term of five (5) years. |

The warrants associated with these Agreements are subject to anti-dilution adjustments outlined in the Agreements. In accordance with ASC 815, the warrants were classified as a liability in the total amount of $2.4 million at December 31, 2012. In addition, the warrants must be valued every reporting period and adjusted to market with the increase or decrease being adjusted through earnings. For the three months ended September 30, 2013, the value of the warrants decreased to $8,616,673 resulting in other income of $9,559,492.
The following agreement was executed on January 31, 2013 and provided the Company with $1 million in funding:
Subscription Agreement
VerifyMe subscribed to purchase 33,333,333 shares of the Company’s preferred stock and a warrant to purchase 33,333,333 shares of the Company’s common stock for $1 million at an exercise price of $0.12. This agreement was executed on January 31, 2013.
At any time within two years after January 31, 2013, the subscriber has the right, but not the obligation to require the Company to repurchase all, but not less than all, of the capital stock of the Company and warrants exercisable for capital stock of the Company held by subscriber in exchange for the price originally paid by the subscriber therefor upon the occurrence of any of the following events:(i) the consummation of any bona fide business acquisition, (ii) the incurring of any indebtedness by the Company in an amount in excess of $2 million, (iii) the issuance or sale of any security having a preference on liquidation senior to common stock, or (iv) the sale by the Company of capital stock or warrants exercisable for its capital stock at a price below $0.03 per share.
In accordance with ASC 480 and 815, the Preferred Stock has been classified as permanent equity and has been valued at $1 million.
The conversion feature of the Preferred Stock is an embedded derivative, which is classified as a liability in accordance with ASC 815 and was valued in accordance with ASC 470 as a beneficial conversion feature at a fair market value of $1 million at January 31, 2013. This was classified as an embedded derivative liability and a discount to Preferred Stock. Because the Preferred Stock can be converted at any time, the full amount was accreted and classified as a reduction to the discount on Preferred Stock and a deemed dividend distribution in the full amount of $1 million.
At September 30, 2013, the fair value of the embedded derivative (beneficial conversion feature) was evaluated based on the fair value of the Company’s stock price as compared to the Preferred A conversion price. The fair value of the embedded derivative at September 30, 2013 increased by $500,000 to $1,500,000.
The warrants associated with the Preferred Stock were also classified as a liability and valued at a fair value of $2,995,791 at January 31, 2013. Because this amount was entirely in excess of the transaction price, this amount was recorded as a charge to expenses of $2,995,791. In addition, the warrants must be valued every reporting period and adjusted to market with the increase or decrease being adjusted through earnings. For the three months ended September 30, 2013, the value of the warrants decreased to $3,300,000 resulting in other income of $3,691,416.
In August 2013, VerifyMe elected to convert in a cashless transaction an equal number of Preferred A stock valued at $366,667 to 12,222,222 shares of common stock.
During the second quarter of 2012, the Company received $200,000 for a 10% unsecured note payable, due April 27, 2013. In December 2012, this note payable and accrued interest of $9,167 was converted into 4,703,711 shares of the Company’s common stock.

In October 2012, the Company commenced private placements consisting of shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.10 per share. The shares and warrants were sold in units with each unit comprised of one share and one warrant at a purchase price of $0.045 and $0.05 per unit. As of December 31, 2012, the Company sold 21,888,889 units that raised $1,060,000 for the Company.
On November 13, 2012, an employee and a consultant exercised options to purchase in the aggregate 10,490,996 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $.00125 per share that raised $13,114 for the Company.
On December 20, 2012, an investor exercised warrants to purchase 333,333 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.15 per share, that raised $50,000 for the Company.
In January and February 2013, the Company received $185,000 from the sales of 3,700,000 units from private placements consisting of shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.10 per share. The shares and warrants were sold in units with each unit comprised of one share and one warrant at a purchase price of $.05 per unit.
In January, 2013, the Company commenced private placements consisting of shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.12 per share. The shares and warrants were sold in units with each unit comprised of one share and one warrant at a purchase price of $.045 per unit. The company sold 1,111,111 units and raised $50,000 as of the date of this report.
On February 1, 2013, an investor exercised a warrant to purchase 1 million shares of the Company’s common stock that raised $10,000 for the Company.
In February and March 2013, four investors exercised options to purchase 3,335,000 shares of the Company’s common stock that raised $17,919 for the Company.
Since our inception, we have focused on developing and implementing our business plan. Our business plan is dependent on our ability to raise capital through private placements of our common stock and/or preferred stock, through the possible exercise of outstanding options and warrants, through debt financing and/or through a future public offering of our securities. There is no assurance that we will raise sufficient capital in order to meet our goals of implementing a sales and marketing effort to introduce our products. We believe that our existing cash resources will be sufficient to sustain our operations during the next twelve months, however, we may need to raise additional funds in the future. We intend to raise such financing through private placements and/or the sale of debt and equity securities. The issuance of additional equity would result in dilution to our existing shareholders. If we are unable to obtain additional funds when they are needed or if such funds cannot be obtained on terms favorable to us, we may be unable to execute our business plan or pay our costs and expenses as they are incurred, which could have a material, adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Even if we are successful in raising sufficient capital, our ability to continue in business as a viable going concern can only be achieved when our revenues reach a level that sustains our business operations. While it is impossible to predict the amount of revenues, if any, that we may receive from our products, we presently believe, based solely on our internal projections, that we will generate revenues sufficient to fund our planned business operations if the products are marketed effectively in accordance with our plans. There can be no assurance that we will raise sufficient proceeds, or any proceeds, for us to implement fully our proposed business plan. Moreover, there can be no assurance that even if our products are marketed effectively, that we will generate revenues sufficient to fund our operations. In either situation, we may not be able to continue our operations and our business might fail.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2013, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partners, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As such, we are not materially exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements are impacted by the accounting policies used and the estimates and assumptions made by management during their preparation. We have identified below the accounting policies that are of particular importance in the presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows and which require the application of significant judgment by management.
Stock-based Compensation
We account for stock-based compensation under the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based awards made to employees and directors based on estimated fair values on the grant date. We estimate the fair value of stock-based awards on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods using the straight-line method.
We account for stock-based compensation awards to non-employees in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees (“ASC 505-50”). Under ASC 505-50, we determine the fair value of the warrants or stock-based compensation awards granted as either the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.
All issuances of stock options or other equity instruments to non-employees as consideration for goods or services received by the Company are accounted for based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued. Any stock options issued to non-employees are recorded as an expense and additional paid-in capital in stockholders’ equity over the applicable service periods using variable accounting through the vesting dates based on the fair value of the options at the end of each period.
Revenue Recognition
In accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition (Codified in FASB ASC 605), we recognize revenue when (i) persuasive evidence of a customer or distributor arrangement exists, (ii) a retailer, distributor or wholesaler receives the goods and acceptance occurs, (iii) the price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectibility of the sales revenues is reasonably assured. Subject to these criteria, the Company recognizes revenue from product sales, consisting mainly of pigments and penlights, upon shipment to the customer. Royalty revenue is recognized upon receipt of notification from a customer that the Company’s product has been used in the customer’s production process.
