Nature of the Business
LaserLock Technologies Inc., together with its
wholly-owned subsidiary, LL Security Products, Inc., is referred to as the “Company.” LaserLock Technologies Inc. was incorporated in the State of Nevada
on November 10, 1999. The Company is based in Washington, D.C. And is publicly traded on the OTC Market under the ticker
symbol “LLTI”. A high-tech solutions company in the field of authenticating people and products, LaserLock offers
state-of-the-art solutions to combat identity fraud and counterfeiting utilizing multi-factor authentication and a suite of security
pigments for governments, health care providers, the gaming industry, the financial services industry and high-end retailers.
The
Company invests in developing new proprietary color shifting inks that it believes will allow it to penetrate broader
markets and result in increased revenues. The Company refines its technologies and their applications, and now has what
it believes to be one of the most cost effective and efficient authentication technologies available. Its most recent
technology takes advantage of the new ubiquitous energy efficient fluorescent lighting to change the color of ink, resulting
in numerous potential new applications ranging from credit cards to drivers licenses, passports, stock certificates, clothing
labels, currency, ID cards, and tax stamps. The technologies can also be used to protect DVDs, apparel, pharmaceuticals, and
virtually any other physical product.
The Company’s digital solution is a multi-platform (iOS and
Android) strong authentication solution that integrates biometrics and geo-location tagging. The solution completely eliminates
passwords and the inherently weak security they provide. The solution also removes the user complexity associated with having to
manage many complex passwords. The solution can be delivered either as a high availability cloud service, managed by LaserLock,
or as licensed software product for operation on the client’s premises.
The solution integrates three independent authentication factors – something you have (for instance
a smartphone), something you know (for instance a color gesture swipe) and something you are (for instance your facial geometry)
- into a simple, fast, intuitive solution. The system can also accurately determine the precise location of the individual using
a variety of mechanisms including GPS, cell tower triangulation, IP or WIFI address. Because the solution incorporates biometrics
it completely eliminates the possibility that users might share their authentication credentials. The combination of biometrics
and geolocation provides extremely strong transactional evidence, making it nearly impossible for a end-user to refute having been
part of a transaction.
The
Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including the need to secure additional
funding to operationalize the Company’s current technology.
Basis of Presentation
The
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) 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 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 accompanying unaudited consolidated
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, 2013 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ending December 31, 2014.
Principle of Consolidation
The
accompanying condensed 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 Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification
(“ASC”) 220 in reporting comprehensive income. Comprehensive income is a more inclusive financial reporting
methodology that involves 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 cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, embedded derivative, warrant liability and notes payable. The carrying value of cash, 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.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers all cash accounts, which are not subject to withdrawal restrictions or penalties, and certificates of deposit and commercial paper with original maturities of 90 days or less to be cash or cash equivalents.
Concentration of Credit Risk Involving Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are 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 five 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 $34,627 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and $33,900 and $34,212 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.
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 that were determined to be17 to 20 years.
Long-Lived Assets
The
Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets in accordance with 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 is 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 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.
Derivative Instruments
The
Company evaluates its convertible debt, warrants or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components
of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for in accordance with Topic 480 of the FASB ASC and
Topic 815 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of
the embedded derivative if required to be bifurcated is marked-to-market at each balance sheet date and recorded as a
liability. The change in fair value is recorded in the Statement of Operations as a component of other income or expense.
Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and
then that fair value is reclassified to equity.
In circumstances where the embedded conversion option in a convertible instrument is required to be bifurcated and there are also other embedded derivative instruments in the convertible instrument that are required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single, compound derivative instrument.
The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification are reclassified to liability at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. Derivative instrument liabilities will be classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument is expected within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
Revenue Recognition
In accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 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.
Income Taxes
The Company follows FASB ASC 740 when accounting for 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 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 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 approximately $25,955 and $53,238 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and $3,453 and $5,756 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, 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.
Basic and Diluted Net Income per Share of Common Stock
Basic
net income per common share are based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods presented.
Diluted net income per common share are computed using weighted average number of common shares plus dilutive common share equivalents
outstanding during the period. Potential common shares that would have the effect of increasing diluted earnings per share
are considered to be anti-dilutive, i.e. the exercise prices of the outstanding stock options were greater than the market
price of the common stock. Anti-dilutive common stock equivalents, which were excluded from the calculation of number of
dilutive common stock equivalents, amounted to 171,582,538 shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014,
respectively. Because the Company reported a net loss for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2013, common stock equivalents, including stock options and warrants were anti-dilutive; therefore,
the amounts reported for basic and dilutive loss per share were the same.

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 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. 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.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In
June 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-10, Development State Entities (Topic 915), Elimination
of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic
810, Consolidation. The amendments in this update remove the definition of a development stage entity from the Master
Glossary of the Accounting Standard Codification, thereby removing the financial reporting distinction that previously
required development stage entities to (1) present inception-to-date information in the statements of income, cash flow, and
stockholder equity, (2) label the financial statements as those of a development stage entity, (3) disclose a description of
the development stage activities in which the entity is engaged, and (4) disclose the first year in which the entity is no
longer a development stage entity that in prior years it had been in the development stage.
The amendments also clarify that the guidance in Topic 275, Risks and Uncertainties, is applicable to entities that have not commenced planned principle operations.
The amendments related to the elimination of inception-to-date information and the other remaining disclosure requirements of Topic 915 should be applied retrospectively except for the clarification to Topic 275, which shall be applied prospectively. For public business entities, those amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods therein.
For public business entities, the amendment eliminating the exception to the sufficiency-of-equity-at-risk criterion for development stage entities in paragraph 810-10-15-16 should be applied retrospectively for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods therein.
Early application of each of the amendments is permitted for any annual reporting period or interim period for which the entity’s financial statements have not yet been issued (public business entities) or made available for issuance (other entities). Upon adoption entities will no longer present or disclose any information required by Topic 915.
The Company adopted the amendment retrospectively for the interim period ending June 30, 2014.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
As of June 30, 2014, there are no recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted which would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the 2013 statement of operations have been classified in order for them to conform with the 2014 presentation.
NOTE 2 – MANAGEMENT PLANS
The
accompanying consolidated 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 stockholders. 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.
On
June 5, 2014 the Company entered into an exclusive agreement with Merriman Capital, Inc. to raise up to but no more than $5
million in additional capital for the Company. Prior to that, on May 23, VerifyMe, Inc. waived its non-dilution rights as they
relate to parameters of the raise based on the Company’s revised budget.
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 six months
ended June 30, 2014, the Company capitalized $0 of patent cost and during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the
Company capitalized patent costs of $3,511 and $21,594, respectively, . Amortization expense for patents was $3,277 and
$6,554 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and $3,262 and $6,495 for the three and six months ended June
30, 2013, respectively. Future estimated annual amortization over the next five years is approximately $13,100 per year for
the years ended December 31, 2014 through 2018.
NOTE 4 – INCOME TAXES
Income tax expense was $0 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.
As of January 1, 2014, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits, and accordingly, the Company did not recognize interest or penalties during 2014 related to unrecognized tax benefits. There has been no change in unrecognized tax benefits during the six months ended June 30, 2014, and there was no accrual for uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2014. Tax years from 2010 through 2013 remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions.
The
Company has income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014; however, due to tax adjustments, the Company has a net
loss for tax purposes. There is no income tax benefit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 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 –RELATED PARTIES
During
the second quarter of 2014, $216,249 of principal of the Company’s outstanding senior convertible notes plus accrued
interest of $208,339, were converted into 8,448,519 shares of common stock. The excess of the fair value of the
Company’s common stock over the value of the notes payable and accrued interest, $82,000, was recorded as loss on
extinguishment of debt in accordance with FASB ASC 470-50.
As of June 30, 2014, the outstanding principal balance on these notes was $114,000. Accrued interest at June 30, 2014 amounted to $105,665.
If
an equity financing with total proceeds of more than $5,000,000 occurs while any of these notes are outstanding, holders
of notes will have the right, at their option, to convert the outstanding principal and interest of the notes into common
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 if the triggering event occurs and the contingency is resolved.
NOTE 6 - NOTES PAYABLE
On
June 10, 2014, the Company issued a note payable for $250,000 which included warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of
the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.10 per share, expiring in five years. The warrants were valued at
39,650, using 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 248.2%, risk free interest rate of 1.67% and expected
life of 5 years. The relative fair value of the warrants was $34,222 and was recorded as a discount to the notes payable
in accordance with FASB ASC 835-30-25, Recognition and is
being accreted over the term of the note payable for financial statement purposes. For the three and six months ended June
30, 2014, $7,605 was accreted through interest expense. The note and accrued interest at 8% per annum are due in full on
September 11, 2014. The warrants are subject to anti-dilutive adjustments and are therefore classified as a liability in
accordance with FASB ASC 815. The warrant liability is re-valued at each reporting period with the change in fair value
recorded through earnings. As of June 30,2014, the fair value of the warrant liability was $39,650 and the note payable
balance was $223,383, net of $26,617 discount.
The
notes payable balance as of June 30, 2014 also included a Series A note payable in the amount of $50,000 with interest of 8%
per annum. This note and accrued interest matured in October 2011 and is past due. Accrued interest associated with this note
was $18,667 as of June 30, 2014.
NOTE 7 – WARRANT LIABILITY
On
December 31, 2012, the Company entered into an Investment Agreement, a Technology and Service Agreement, a Patent and
Technology License Agreement and an Asset Purchase Agreement with VerifyMe, and on the same date entered into a Technology
and Service Agreement with Zaah Technologies, Inc. (collectively with the VerifyMe agreements, the “Agreements”).
Contemplated by those Agreements were warrants issuances by the Company for the purchase 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 June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the fair value of the warrant liability was $2,061,000 and $3,700,000.
On
January 1, 2014 the Company issued 6,349,206 warrants as consideration for technology received from VerifyMe related to the
December 31, 2012 Agreement. The warrants have an exercise price of $.10 per share. The warrants are subject
to anti-dilution adjustments outlined in the Agreement. In accordance with FASB ASC 815, the warrants were classified as
a liability with an initial fair value of $444,000, which was immediately expensed as research and development costs.
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 June 30, 2014, the fair value of the warrant liability was $253,000.
The
Company made the payment of warrants to VerifyMe on a good faith basis, based on the assumption that the technology
conveyed to the Company would be patentable and licensable. The Company has not reached a conclusion that the technology
will be patentable and licensable, and can provide no assurance to this effect.
Should
the Company ultimately conclude that the technology received from VerifyMe is patentable and licensable, the Company would
be required to make, on January 1, 2015, an additional payment pursuant to Patent and Technology Agreement in the amount of
$4,500,000, to be paid by issuing (i) a number of common shares equal to (x) $4,500,000 divided by (y) a price which equals a
10% discount to the market price at the time of issuance and (ii) warrants to purchase an equal number of shares of common
stock exercisable at a price of $0.10 per share. Based upon the current share price of $0.07 per share, this would result in
the issuance of approximately an additional 70 million shares of common stock and warrants to purchase an additional 70
million shares.
NOTE 8 – CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
Subscription Agreement
The
Company entered into a Subscription Agreement with VerifyMe on January 31, 2013 (the “Subscription Agreement”).
Under the terms of the Subscription Agreement, VerifyMe subscribed to purchase 33,333,333 shares of the Company’s
preferred stock (the “Preferred Stock”) and a warrant to purchase 33,333,333 shares of the Company’s common
stock at an exercise price of $0.12 per share, for $1 million.
At
any time before January 31, 2015, VerifyMe 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 VerifyMe in exchange for the price originally paid by VerifyMe therefor upon the occurrence of any of the
following events:(i) the consummation of any bona fide business acquisition, (ii) the incurrence 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 value of $1 million at January 31, 2013, $800,000 at December 31, 2013 and $200,000 at June 30, 2014. 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 of the original fair value 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, in 2013.
The
warrants associated with the Preferred Stock were also classified as a liability since they are subject to anti-dilutive
adjustments outlined in the warrant agreement and valued at a fair market 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
2013. 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 June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the fair value of the warrants was $1,288,000 and
$2,300,000, respectively.
The Preferred Stock has a preference in liquidation that the holders of the Preferred Stock are to be paid out of assets available for distribution prior to holders of common stock. The Preferred Stockholders may cast the number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of common stock into which the shares of Preferred Stock can be converted. In addition, the Preferred Stockholders are to be paid dividends, based on the number of shares of Preferred Stock as if the shares had been converted to common shares, prior to the common stockholders receiving a dividend.
The conversion price of the shares of Preferred Stock 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 shares of Preferred Stock valued at $366,667 to 12,222,222 shares of common stock.
NOTE 9 – 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.
Liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized as follows:

As of June 30, 2014, 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 traded in an active securities market, therefore the embedded derivative liability was valued using the following market based inputs:
Closing trade price of Common Stock |
$ |
0.04 |
Series A Preferred Stock Conversion Price |
$ |
0.03 |
Intrinsic value of conversion option per share |
$ |
0.01 |
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 during the six months ended June 30, 2014.
As of June 30, 2014, the Company’s outstanding warrants were 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:
|
|
June 30, 2014
|
|
Annual Dividend Yield
|
|
0.0% |
|
Expected Life (Years)
|
|
3.5 – 4.51 |
|
Risk-Free Interest Rate
|
|
1.67% |
|
Expected Volatility
|
|
237.8% -244.3% |
|
Expected volatility was based primarily on historical volatility. Historical volatility was computed using daily pricing observations for recent periods. The Company believes 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 10 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
On
January 1, 2014, under the terms of the Patent and Technology License Agreement, the Company issued 6,349,206 shares
of common stock to VerifyMe, in addition to the warrants described in Note 7 above. The shares were issued in payment for the
technology received. Under the agreement, payment of $400,000 worth of the Company’s common stock was to be paid by
the Company to VerifyMe at a 10% discount to the market at time of payment. The closing price was $0.07 per share discounted
10% to $0.063. The $400,000 payment divided by the $0.063 per share resulted in 6,349,206 shares to be issued. The entire
$400,000 payment was expensed to research and development.
NOTE 11 – STOCK OPTIONS
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 the 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 the 2000 plan and created the 2003 Stock Option Plan (the “2003 Plan”).
Under the 2003 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 2003 Plan, which are
not intended to qualify as Incentive Stock Options, are deemed to be non-qualified options (“Non-Statutory
Stock Options”).
During
2013, our Board adopted a new omnibus incentive compensation plan (the “2013 Plan”) which will serve as the
successor incentive compensation plan to the 2003 Plan, and will provide the Company with an comprehensive plan to design
and structure grants of stock options, stock units, stock awards, stock appreciation rights and other stock-based awards for
our employees, non-employee directors and certain consultants and advisors. Our Board of Directors believes that the availability of
(i) 20,000,000 new shares of our common stock, plus (ii) the number of shares of our common stock subject to outstanding
grants under the 2003 Plan as of the date of the Annual Meeting, plus (iii) the number of shares of our common stock
remaining available for issuance under the 2003 Plan but not subject to previously exercised, vested or paid grants, for
issuance under the 2013 Plan will be sufficient.
As
of June 30, 2014, there are 23,725,996 shares subject to outstanding options under the Plans, and 14,274,004 shares remain
available for issuance.
The
2013 Plan is administered by a committee of the Board (“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.
The
Company issued Non-Statutory Stock Options pursuant to contractual agreements with non-employees. Options granted under the
agreements are expensed when the related service or product is provided.
Determining the appropriate fair value of stock-based awards requires the input of subjective assumptions. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value its stock option awards. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value represent management’s best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and judgments.
On
January 22, 2013, the Company issued options to an employee to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common
stock at an exercise price of $0.05 per share, with a term of ten years. The options vest as follows: 250,000 immediately,
250,000 on the first anniversary of the grant date and 500,000 on the second anniversary of the grant date. 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 222%, risk-free interest rate of 1.9% and expected option life of ten
years. The fair value of the options issued was $99,972 of which $25,000 was expensed immediately and the remainder is being
expensed over the vesting terms. The total expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 was $6,231 and $13,900,
respectively. The total expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 was $12,462 and $46,768,
respectively.
On
February 25, 2013, the Company issued options to an employee to purchase 500,000 shares of the Company’s common
stock at an exercise price of $0.05 per share, with a term of ten years. The options vest as follows: 200,000 on the first
anniversary of the grant date, 200,000 on the second anniversary of the grant date and 100,000 on the third anniversary of
the grant date. 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 259%, risk-free interest rate of 1.9%
and expected option life of ten years. The fair value of options issued was $89,998. The total expense recognized for the
three months ended March 31, 2013, was $5,000. The options were cancelled during the three months ended June 30, 2013.
The total expense recognized of $5,000 was reversed upon cancellation of the options.
On
March 13, 2013, the Company issued an option to purchase 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an
exercise price of $0.05 per share, with a term of ten years, to a member of the Board. The options vested 50%
immediately and 50% on March 13, 2014. 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 235%, risk-free
interest rate of 2.0% and expected option life of ten years. The fair value of the option issued was $439,963 of which
$219,982 was expensed immediately and the remainder will be expensed over one year. There was no expense recognized for the
three months ended June 30, 2014. The total expense recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $43,394. The total
expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 was $54,845 and $285,675, respectively.
On
May 4, 2013, the Company issued an option to purchase 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an
exercise price of $0.05 per share, with a term of ten years, to a member of the Board. The options vest 50% immediately and 50% on
May 4, 2014. 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 235%, risk-free interest rate of 1.78% and expected
option life of ten years. The fair value of the option issued was $460,000 of which $230,000 was expensed immediately and
the remainder will be expensed over one year. The total expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 was $21,425
and $78,137.
On
September 30, 2013, the Company issued an option to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an
exercise price of $0.15 per share, with a term of ten years, to the Company’s Chief Operating Officer. The options vest
50% after the first year and 50% at the end of 24 months after the grant date. 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 ranging from 268.4% to 272.8%, risk-free interest rate of 1.39% and expected option life ranging from
10 years. The fair value of the option issued was $99,840. The total expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014
was $18,698 and $37,190, respectively.
On
December 2, 2013, the Company issued an option to purchase 1 million shares of the Company’s common stock at
an exercise after the grant date price of $0.15 per share, with a term of ten years, to the Company’s Chief Financial
Officer. The options vest 50% after the first year and 50% at the end of 24 months. 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 ranging from 266.1%, risk-free interest rate of 2.64% and expected option life of 10 years. The
fair value of the option issued was $79,994, which will be expensed over the vesting term. The total expense for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2014 was $14,958 and $29,752, respectively.
On
March 28, 2014, the Company issued options to purchase an aggregate of 6,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock
at an exercise price of $0.05 per share, with a term of ten years, to one member of the Board. The
fair value of options issued was $599,893 of which all was expensed immediately.
All of the options issued on March 28, 2014 were valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the grant-date fair value of the options, with the following assumptions: no dividend yield, expected volatility of 229%, risk-free interest rate of 2.73% and expected option life of ten years.
On
February 7, 2014, options to purchase 6,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were exercised on a cashless
basis. Based on a stock price of $0.07 per share and an exercise price of $0.05 per share, the option exercise
resulted in the issuance of 1,714,285 shares of common stock to the holder.
On
February 25, 2014, options to purchase 6,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock were exercised by
the Company’s Chief Executive Officer on a cashless basis. Based on a stock price of $0.06 per share and an exercise
price of $0.05 per share, the option exercise resulted in the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of common stock to the
holder.

Overview
We were incorporated in Nevada in November 1999. We are a technology development company that delivers product and document authentication and security. We plan to develop and market technologies in a variety of applications in the security fields.
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, pharmaceuticals,
event and transportation tickets, driver’s licenses, insurance cards, passports, computer software, and credit
cards. We intend to generate sales through the licensing of our technology or through direct sales of our technology to
end-users.
We
have five issued patents and have submitted three additional patent applications relating to our technology. 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 research, 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.
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. 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, 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 June 30, 2014 and 2013
The
following discussion analyzes our results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. The following
information should be considered together with our consolidated financial statements for such period and the accompanying
notes thereto.
Net Revenue/Net Loss
We have not generated significant revenue since our inception. For the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, we generated sales of $65,148 and $0, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, we showed net revenue of $3,651,844 as compared to a loss of $10,759,550 for the three months ended June 30, 2013, as a result of decrease in expenses primarily resulting from 2013 share based compensation and a positive valuation adjustment of warrant liability and embedded derivative liability associated with the Investment Agreement entered into on December 31, 2012 and the Subscription Agreement entered into on January 31, 2013.
Cost of Sales
For the three months ended June 30, 2014, costs of sales were $54,440, resulting in a gross profit of $10,708 or 16%. There was no revenue or costs of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2013.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses increased $10,121 to $180,820 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from $170,699 for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The Company is attempting to maintain the general and administrative expenses while generating revenue in order to develop profitability.
Legal and Accounting
Legal
and accounting fees increased $122,651 to $178,302 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from $55,651 for the three months
ended June 30, 2013. The increase in legal and accounting fees between the periods was primarily related to the development
of contracts for potential long-term revenue agreements, guidance in protection of patents, and document review in relation
to the Company’s fundraising efforts.
Payroll Expenses
Payroll
expenses were $427,178 for the three months ended June 30, 2014, a decrease of $7,777,290 from $8,204,468 for the three
months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease related primarily to the 2013 stock-based compensation of $7,939,629 relating to
the Company’s Board of Directors and employees. This included the Vice Chairman and President and Chief Executive
Officer, who received their stock options related to their employment agreements in June 2013, which were valued at
$7,534,000.
Research and Development
Research
and development expenses were $30,120 and $162,819, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, a
decrease of $132,699. The decrease in research and development expenses was due to primarily to the 2013 charge for the
technology service agreement entered into on December 31, 2012 and the allocation of resources to the research and
development effort in 2013.
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2014 were $73,895 as compared to $52,197 for the three months ended June 30, 2013, an increase of $21,698. The expenses consisted largely of expenses for marketing the new technology associated with the patents and the new patent applications, as well as a more active marketing program in 2014.
Interest Expense
During the three months ended June 30, 2014, the Company incurred interest expense of $13,121 as compared to $32,978 for the three months ended June 30, 2013, a decrease of $19,857. The decrease in interest expense was a result of a reduction in interest expense from 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 three months ended June 30, 2013, compared to $82,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease in loss on extinguishment of debt was a result of the excess fair value of the
common stock issued over the value of the notes payable, and accrued interest thereon, that were retired in the three months
ended June 30, 2013.
Change
in Fair Value of Warrants
During the three months ended June 30, 2014, the Company incurred an unrealized gain on the market value of warrants of $3,726,572 as compared to a loss of $858,864 for the three months ended June 30, 2013. 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 fallen and the difference between the warrant exercise price and the stock price has decreased.
Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2014 and 2013
The
following discussion analyzes our results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. The following
information should be considered together with our consolidated financial statements for such period and the accompanying
notes thereto.
Net Revenue/Net Loss
For
the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, we generated $65,148 and $3,140 in net revenues, respectively. We had net profit of
$222,136 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to a net loss of $27,666,194 for the six months ended June 30,
2013. The gain is primarily as a result of decreases in expenses resulting from 2013 share based compensation and favorable
adjustments in the valuation of warrant liability and embedded derivative liability associated with the Investment Agreement
entered into on December 31, 2012 and the Subscription Agreement entered into on January 31, 2013 as described
below.
Cost of Sales
For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, we incurred proprietary technology costs of sales of $54,440 and $2,710.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses increased $73,722 to $305,581 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $231,859 for the six months ended June 30, 2013. These cost are expected to remain relatively constant.
Legal and Accounting
Legal and accounting fees increased $132,917 to $310,497 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $177,580 for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase in legal and accounting fees between the periods was primarily related to the development of contracts for potential long term revenue agreements, guidance in protection of patents, and document review in relation to the Company’s fundraising efforts.
Payroll Expenses
Payroll expenses were $1,501,858 for the six months ended June 30, 2014, a decrease of $7,450,639 from $8,952,497 for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease related primarily to the 2013 stock based compensation of the Vice Chairman and President and Chief Executive Officer related to their employment agreements in June 2013, which were valued at $7,534,000.
Research and Development
Research
and development expenses were $875,849 and $137,424, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, an
increase of $738,425. The increase in research and development expenses was due to primarily to warrants and shares of stock
issued in the quarter ended March 31, 2014 related to the Patent and Technology License Agreement entered into on December
31, 2012.
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2014 were $125,331 as compared to $95,006 for the six months ended June 30, 2013, an increase of $30,325. The expenses consisted largely of expenses for marketing the new technology associated with the patents and the new patent applications, as well as a more active marketing program in 2014.
Interest Expense
During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company incurred interest expense of $24,028 as compared to $74,219 for the six months ended June 30, 2013, a decrease of $50,191. The decrease in interest expense was 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 six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to $82,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease in loss on extinguishment of debt was a result of the excess fair value of
the common stock issued over the value of the notes payable, and accrued thereon, interest that were retired in the three
months ended June 30, 2013.
Change in Fair Value of Warrants
During
the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company incurred an unrealized loss on the market value of warrants of $12,780,374 as
compared to a gain of $2,836,572 for the six months ended June 30, 2014. 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 fallen and the difference between the
warrant exercise price and the stock price has decreased.
Fair Value of Warrants in Excess of Consideration for Convertible Preferred Stock
During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company incurred an unrealized loss on the market value of warrants that were issued in excess of consideration for convertible preferred stock of $2,995,791 as compared to $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The loss resulted from the valuation of warrants associated with the Subscription Agreement entered into on January 31, 2013.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of the date of this report, we had cash on hand of $178,000.
Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2014 increased to $1,428,203 from $1,352,902 for the six months ended June 30, 2013, an increase of $75,301. The increase in net cash used in operating activities was primarily as a result of increased accounts receivable and inventory offset by increases in accounts payable.
Net cash used in investing activities, consisting of equipment purchases and patent costs, was $32,527 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2014.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $250,000 and $1,262,919, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. The net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 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 $250,000 of cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2014 related to a short term bridge loan from an investor.
During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 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.
As
we have not realized significant revenues since our inception, we have financed our operations through public and 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.
On
June 5, 2014, we entered into an exclusive agreement with Merriman Capital, Inc. to raise up to $5 million in additional capital.
Also, on July 31, 2014, we
announced that we signed a 10-year, $7 million contract with a Mexican gaming company to license our VerifyMeTM Identity
Services. We are currently evaluating the impact of this new contract.
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.
Our existing cash resources will not be sufficient to sustain our operations during the next twelve months, and we may need to raise additional funds. We intend to raise such financing through private placements and/or the sale of debt and equity securities. The issuance of additional equity could result in dilution to our existing stockholders. 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. 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 June 30, 2014, there have been no material changes in off-balance sheet arrangements since our disclosure in
our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
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, 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 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.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Recently
issued accounting pronouncements are discussed in Note 1 of the notes to consolidated financial statements contained in this
report.
As
of June 30, 2014, our management carried out the evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of
June 30, 2014, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information we are required to disclose
in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is: (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with this evaluation that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2014 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
