STRIKEFORCE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2008 AND 2007
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS
StrikeForce Technical Services Corporation was incorporated in August 2001 under the laws of the State of New Jersey. On September 3, 2004, the stockholders approved an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to change the name to StrikeForce Technologies, Inc. (StrikeForce or the Company). Prior to December 2002, the Company was a reseller of computer hardware, software products, and telecommunications equipment and services. In December 2002, the Company began to acquire the rights to intangible technology, which upon the consummation changed the direction of the Companys business. The Company is a software development and services company. The Company owns the exclusive right to license and develop various identification protection software products that were developed to protect computer networks from unauthorized access and to protect network owners and users from identity theft. The Company has developed a suite of products based upon the licenses and the Company is seeking to commercially exploit the products in the areas of financial services, eCommerce, corporate, government and consumer sectors. The technology developed by the Company and used in the Companys ProtectID® and GuardedID® products is the subject of two pending patent applications. The Companys firewall product is no longer being developed and the provisional patent application was allowed to expire. A fourth patent application relating to the Companys ProtectID® product was combined into the first ProtectID® pending patent application and the fourth application was allowed to lapse. The Companys operations are based in Edison, New Jersey.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Interim period
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission to Form 10-Q and Article 10 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 of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods have been included. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2007 and notes thereto contained in the Report on Form 10-KSB of the Company as filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 31, 2008. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.
Reclassification
Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported losses.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reporting amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Significant estimates include, but are not limited to, the estimated useful lives of property and equipment and website development costs. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.
9
Accounts receivable
Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, net of allowances for doubtful accounts and sales returns. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Companys best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Companys existing accounts receivable. The Company determines the allowance based on historical write-off experience, customer specific facts and economic conditions. Bad debt expense is included in general and administrative expenses.
Outstanding account balances are reviewed individually for collectability. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company recorded bad debt expense of $0 and $221,600 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. There were no allowances for doubtful accounts at September 30, 2008 or 2007.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for major additions and betterments are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Depreciation of property and equipment is computed by the straight-line method (after taking into account their respective estimated residual values) over the assets estimated useful lives. Leasehold improvements, if any, are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease period or the estimated useful life, whichever is shorter. Upon sale or retirement of property and equipment, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in operations.
Leases
Lease agreements are evaluated to determine whether they are capital leases or operating leases in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13 Accounting for Leases, as amended (SFAS No. 13). When substantially all of the risks and benefits of property ownership have been transferred to the Company, as determined by the test criteria in SFAS No. 13, the lease then qualifies as a capital lease.
Capital lease assets are depreciated on an accelerated method, over the capital lease assets estimated useful lives consistent with the Companys normal depreciation policy for tangible fixed assets, but generally not exceeding the lease term. Interest charges are expensed over the period of the lease in relation to the carrying value of the capital lease obligation.
Rent expense for operating leases, which may include free rent or fixed escalation amounts in addition to minimum lease payments, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the duration of each lease term.
Deferred royalties
Deferred royalties represent stock based compensation paid by the Company for certain licenses that have been capitalized. Such licenses are utilized in connection with the Companys operations.
Website development cost
Website development cost is stated at cost less accumulated amortization. The cost of the website development is amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of three years.
Patents
All costs incurred to the point when a patent application is to be filed are expensed as incurred as research and development cost. Patent application costs, generally legal costs, thereafter incurred are capitalized. Patents are amortized over the expected useful lives of the patents, which is generally 17 to 20 years for domestic patents and 5 to 20 years for foreign patents, once the patents are granted or are expensed if the patent application is rejected. The costs of defending and maintaining patents are expensed as incurred. As of September 30, 2008, the Company capitalized $4,329 in patent application costs as incurred with no amortization due to the fact that the patent applications are still pending.
Impairment of long-lived assets
Long-lived assets, which include property and equipment, deferred royalties, website development cost and patents are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable or the useful life is shorter than originally estimated.
10
The Company assesses the recoverability of its assets by comparing the projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their remaining lives against their respective carrying amounts. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets. Fair value is generally determined using the assets expected future discounted cash flows or market value, if readily determinable. If assets are determined to be recoverable, but the useful lives are shorter than originally estimated, the net book value of the assets is depreciated over the newly determined remaining useful lives. The Company determined that there was no impairment based on managements evaluation at September 30, 2008 or 2007.
Fair value of financial instruments
The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, trade accounts receivable, prepayments, notes payable, capital leases payable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, payroll taxes payable, due to factor and due to employees, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments and market rates of interest.
Discount on debt
The Company has allocated the proceeds received from convertible debt instruments between the underlying debt instruments and has recorded the conversion feature as a liability in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS No. 133) and related interpretations. The conversion feature and certain other features that are considered embedded derivative instruments, such as a conversion reset provision, a penalty provision and redemption option, have been recorded at their fair value within the terms of SFAS No. 133 as its fair value can be separated from the convertible note and its conversion is independent of the underlying note value. The conversion liability is marked to market each reporting period with the resulting gains or losses shown on the Statement of Operations. The Company has also recorded the resulting discount on debt related to the warrants and conversion feature and is amortizing the discount using the effective interest rate method over the life of the debt instruments.
Derivatives
The Company accounts for derivatives in accordance with SFAS No. 133 and the related interpretations. SFAS No. 133, as amended, requires companies to recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on: (i) whether the derivative has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship, and (ii) the type of hedging relationship. For those derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, a company must designate the hedging instrument based upon the exposure being hedged as either a fair value hedge, cash flow hedge or hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation. At September 30, 2008, the Company had not entered into any transactions which were considered hedges under SFAS No. 133.
Financial instruments
The Company evaluates its convertible debt, options, warrants or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and related interpretations including Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 00-19 Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company's Own Stock (EITF Issue No. 00-19). The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the embedded derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the Statement of Operations as 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 under SFAS No. 133 are reclassified to liability at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. Derivative instrument liabilities are 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.
11
The fair value model utilized to value the various compound embedded derivatives in the secured convertible notes comprises multiple probability-weighted scenarios under various assumptions reflecting the economics of the secured convertible notes, such as the risk-free interest rate, expected Company stock price and volatility, likelihood of conversion and or redemption, and likelihood of default status and timely registration. At inception, the fair value of the single compound embedded derivative was bifurcated from the host debt contract and recorded as a derivative liability which resulted in a reduction of the initial notional carrying amount of the secured convertible notes (as unamortized discount which will be amortized over the term of the notes under the effective interest method).
Revenue recognition
The Companys revenues are derived principally from the sale and installation of its various identification protection software products and related hardware and services. The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned less estimated future returns. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when it has persuasive evidence of an arrangement that the product has been shipped or the services have been rendered to the customer, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. In addition to the aforementioned general policy, the following are the specific revenue recognition policies for each major category of revenue:
Hardware Revenue from hardware sales is recognized when the product is shipped to the customer and there are either no unfulfilled Company obligations or any obligations that will not affect the customer's final acceptance of the arrangement. Any cost of these obligations is accrued when the corresponding revenue is recognized. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, total hardware revenues for products shipped or delivered were $21,852 and $8,333, representing 10.3% and 1.4% of total revenues, respectively. There were no revenues from fixed price long-term contracts.
Software, Services and Maintenance Revenue from time and service contracts is recognized as the services are provided. Revenue from delivered elements of one-time charge licensed software is recognized at the inception of the license term, provided the Company has vendor-specific objective evidence of the fair value of each delivered element. Revenue is deferred for undelivered elements. The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of software licenses, when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the product has been delivered, the fee is fixed and determinable, and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Delivery generally occurs when the product is delivered to a common carrier. The Company assesses collection based on a number of factors, including past transaction history with the customer and the creditworthiness of the customer. The Company does not request collateral from customers. If the Company determines that collection of a fee is not reasonably assured, the Company defers the fee and recognizes revenue at the time collection becomes reasonably assured, which is generally upon receipt of cash. Revenue from monthly software licenses is recognized on a subscription basis. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, total software, services and maintenance revenues were $81,030 and $534,121 representing 38.4% and 85.6% of total revenues, respectively.
ASP Hosted Services The Company offers an Application Service Provider hosted service whereby customer usage transactions are invoiced monthly on a cost per transaction basis. The service is sold via the execution of a Service Agreement between the Company and the customer. Initial set-up fees are recognized upon completion of service. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, total revenues for services provided were $108,372 and $81,242 representing 51.3% and 13.0% of total revenues, respectively.
Revenue from fixed price long-term service contracts is recognized over the contract term based on the percentage of services that are provided during the period compared with the total estimated services to be provided over the entire contract. Losses on fixed price contracts are recognized during the period in which the loss first becomes apparent. Revenue from maintenance is recognized over the contractual period or as the services are performed. Revenue in excess of billings on service contracts is recorded as unbilled receivables and is included in trade accounts receivable. Billings in excess of revenue that is recognized on service contracts are recorded as deferred income until the aforementioned revenue recognition criteria are met.
Stock based compensation
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004) Share-Based Payment (SFAS No. 123R) using the modified prospective method. Under this method, compensation cost in the first quarter of 2006 includes the portion vesting in the period for (1) all share-based payments granted prior to, but not vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123 and (2) all share-based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the revised provisions of SFAS No. 123R. The fair value of each option grant estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

|

The expected life of the options has been determined using the simplified method as prescribed in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (SAB No. 107). Results of prior periods do not reflect any restated amounts and the Company had no cumulative effect adjustment upon adoption of SFAS No. 123R under the modified prospective method. The Companys policy is to recognize compensation cost for awards with only service conditions and a graded vesting schedule on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. Additionally, the Companys policy is to issue new shares of common stock to satisfy stock option exercises.
The adoption of SFAS No. 123R increased the Companys reported operating loss and net loss by $105,161 and $336,124 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The expense is classified as selling, general and administrative expense on the statement of operations.
The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing valuation model. The ranges of assumptions for inputs shown in the table above for 2008 and 2007 are as follows:
·
The expected volatility is based on a combination of the historical volatility of the Companys and comparable companies stock over the contractual life of the options.
·
The Company uses historical data to estimate employee termination behavior. The expected life of options granted is derived from SAB 107 and represents the period of time the options are expected to be outstanding.
·
The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods within the contractual life of the option.
·
The expected dividend yield is based on the Companys current dividend yield as the best estimate of projected dividend yield for periods within the contractual life of the option.
Software development costs
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86 Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed (SFAS No. 86) requires capitalization of software development costs incurred subsequent to establishment of technological feasibility and prior to the availability of the product for general release to customers. Systematic amortization of capitalized costs begins when a product is available for general release to customers and is computed on a product-by-product basis at a rate not less than straight-line basis over the products remaining estimated economic life. To date, all costs have been accounted for as research and development costs and no software development cost has been capitalized. Total research and development costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 were $324,991 and $273,872, respectively.
Income taxes
The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 Accounting for Income Taxes (SFAS No. 109), which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the statements of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.
13
Net loss per common share
Net loss per common share is computed pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 Earnings Per Share (SFAS No. 128). Basic loss per share is computed by taking net loss divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially outstanding shares of common stock during each period to reflect the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through stock options, warrants, and convertible debt, which excludes 1,000,685 shares of common stock to be issued, 1,427,297 shares of stock options, 1,161,577 shares of common stock issuable under warrants and 2,367,508 shares of common stock issuable under the conversion feature of the convertible notes payable for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, and 1,839,567 shares of stock options, 1,118,244 shares of common stock issuable under warrants and 3,532,416 shares of common stock issuable under the conversion feature of the convertible notes payable for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively. These potential shares of common stock were not included as they were anti-dilutive.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
On June 5, 2003, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) adopted final rules under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (Section 404), as amended by SEC Release No. 33-8934 on June 26, 2008. Commencing with its annual report for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009, the Company will be required to include a report of management on its internal control over financial reporting. The internal control report must include a statement:
·
Of managements responsibility for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over its financial reporting;
·
Of managements assessment of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of year end; and
·
Of the framework used by management to evaluate the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
Furthermore, in the following fiscal year, it is required to file the auditors attestation report separately on the Companys internal control over financial reporting on whether it believes that the Company has maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting.
In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 141 (Revised 2007) Business Combinations (SFAS No. 141(R)), which requires the Company to record fair value estimates of contingent consideration and certain other potential liabilities during the original purchase price allocation, expense acquisition costs as incurred and does not permit certain restructuring activities previously allowed under Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 95-3 to be recorded as a component of purchase accounting. SFAS No. 141(R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements, which shall be applied retrospectively for all periods presented. The Company will adopt this standard at the beginning of the Companys year ending December 31, 2008 for all prospective business acquisitions. The Company has not determined the effect that the adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) will have on the financial results of the Company.
In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 160 Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - an amendment of ARB No. 51 (SFAS No. 160), which causes noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries to be included in the equity section of the balance sheet. SFAS No. 160 applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements, which shall be applied retrospectively for all periods presented. The Company will adopt this standard at the beginning of the Companys year ending December 31, 2008 for all prospective business acquisitions. The Company has not determined the effect that the adoption of SFAS No. 160 will have on the financial results of the Company.
14
In March 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 161 Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (SFAS No. 161), which changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Pursuant to SFAS No.161, Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entitys financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008 with early application encouraged. SFAS No. 161 encourages but does not require disclosures for earlier periods presented for comparative purposes at initial adoption. In years after initial adoption, this Statement requires comparative disclosures only for periods subsequent to initial adoption. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 161 to have a material impact on the financial results of the Company.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $17,578,268 and a working capital deficiency of $6,157,059 at September 30, 2008 and had a net loss and cash used in operations of $1,201,818 and $1,109,135 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively.
Currently, the Company is attempting to generate sufficient revenues and improve gross margins by implementing a revised sales strategy. In principle, the Company is redirecting its sales focus from direct sales to international channel sales, where the Company is primarily selling through a channel of Distributors, Value Added Resellers, Strategic Partners and Original Equipment Manufacturers. The revenues from this approach are more lucrative than selling direct, due to the increase in sales volume of GuardedID® and ProtectID® through the channel partners. This strategy, if successful, should increase the Companys sales and revenues allowing us to mitigate future losses. In addition, management has raised funds through convertible debt instruments and the sale of equity in order to alleviate the working capital deficiency. Through the utilization of the capital markets, the Company is seeking to locate the additional funding necessary to continue to expand and enhance its growth; however, there can be no assurance that we will be able to increase revenues or raise additional capital. The Company is currently in negotiations with other investors, but the success of such negotiations cannot be assured.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. If we fail to generate positive cash flows or obtain additional financing when required, we may have to modify, delay or abandon some or all of our business and expansion plans.
NOTE 4 - DEFERRED ROYALTIES
On December 2, 2004, the Company issued NetLabs, as advance royalties, options to purchase 760,000 shares of the Companys common stock at a price of $3.60 per share to vest as follows: 253,000 shares at issuance, 253,000 shares at September 11, 2005 and 254,000 shares at September 11, 2006 for the exclusive rights to the intellectual property related to the patents pending for its Out-of-Band technology and firewall solutions, while clarifying that NetLabs still retains ownership.
The fair values for these options are measured at the end of each reporting period and are fixed at each vesting date using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model.
Measurement is based upon the Black-Scholes Model using the following assumptions:

As of September 30, 2008 the options to purchase 253,000 shares that vested at issuance are valued (as fixed) at $1,066,395, the options to purchase 253,000 shares that vested at September 11, 2005 are valued (as fixed) at $1,529,132, and the options to purchase the final 254,000 shares (which vested on September 11, 2006) are valued (as fixed) at $264,160. The deferred royalties are being amortized over the term of the original NetLabs Agreement of ten (10) years which will terminate on August 31, 2013. At September 30, 2008, the total value of the deferred royalties, net of accumulated amortization of $1,330,787, is $1,528,900. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, $222,471 and $200,034 of royalties were expensed, respectively.

On April 27, 2005, the Company entered into an amended and restated 8% secured convertible debenture with YA Global Investments, LP, formerly Cornell Capital Partners, LP, (Amended YA Global Debenture) in the amount of $1,024,876, which terminated the two $500,000 debentures entered into with YA Global in December 2004 and January 2005. The new debenture entitles YA Global, at its option, to convert, the debenture, plus accrued interest, into shares of the Companys common stock at a price per share equal to the lesser of (i) the greater of $2.50 or an amount equal to 120% of the initial bid price or (ii) an amount equal to 80% of the lowest Volume Weighted Average Price, as defined, of the Companys common stock for the last five trading days immediately preceding the conversion date. If not converted, the entire principal amount and all accrued interest shall be due on the second year anniversary of the debenture. The Company, at its option, may redeem, with fifteen days advance written notice, a portion or all the outstanding convertible debentures. The redemption shall be 110% of the amount redeemed plus accrued interest remaining for the first six months of the executed debenture and after that time the redemption is 120% of the amount redeemed plus accrued interest remaining. The conversion feature and the Companys optional early redemption right have been bundled together as a single compound embedded derivative liability, and fair valued using a layered probability-weighted cash flow approach.
On April 27, 2005, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (SPA) with Highgate House Funds, Ltd. (Highgate) pursuant to which the Company received $750,000 in exchange for two 7% secured convertible debentures amounting to $750,000 that mature in two (2) years, and the issuance of 15,000 shares of the Companys common stock. The first debenture funding occurred upon the signing of the SPA and the second debenture funding occurred upon the filing of the registration statement. The Company has agreed to reserve for issuance of 200,000 shares of the Companys common stock, which may be adjusted as agreed upon by the parties, to be issued to the debenture holder upon conversion of accrued interest and liquidated damages and additional shares of common stock required to be issued to the debenture holder in accordance with the SPA. Additionally, in accordance with the SPA, the Company is required to maintain in escrow and register with the SEC five times the number of shares of common stock that would be needed to satisfy the full conversion of all such convertible debentures outstanding and to issue additional shares as needed if the number of shares in escrow becomes less than that required. Further, following a notice of conversion, the investors may sell escrowed shares in the registered distribution before they are actually delivered, but, the investors will not engage in short sales. The terms of the secured debentures contain a limitation that precludes conversion when the amount of shares already owned by YA Global and Highgate, plus the amount of shares still outstanding to be converted, would exceed 4.99%. The limitation may be waived by YA Global upon 61 days advance written notification to the Company. In addition, on the third anniversary of the issuance date of the YA Global debenture and second anniversary of the issuance dates of the Highgate debentures, any outstanding principal or interest owed on the secured debentures will be converted into stock without any applicable limitation on the number of shares that may be converted.
The aforementioned debentures bear interest at a rate of 7% per annum, compounded monthly, and expire 2 years after the date of issuance. The debentures are convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion price equal to the lesser of (i) 120% of the average closing bid price for the 5 trading days immediately preceding the closing date; or (ii) 80% of the lowest closing bid price for the 5 trading days immediately preceding the date of conversion. In addition, the Company has the right to redeem the debentures, at any time prior to its maturity, upon 3 business days prior written notice to the holder. The redemption price is equal to 120% of the face amount redeemed plus accrued interest. In the event that the Company redeems the debentures within 180 days after the date of issuance, the redemption price shall be 110% of the face amount redeemed plus accrued interest. The conversion feature and the Companys optional early redemption right have been bundled together as a single compound embedded derivative liability, and fair valued using a layered probability-weighted cash flow approach.
In July 2006, the Company agreed to an anti-dilution adjustment with YA Global and Highgate whereby the conversion price of the secured convertible debentures was reduced to a fixed per share price equal to the lower of $0.85 or 80% of the lowest closing bid price during the five days preceding the conversion date.
The SPA contains certain negative covenants concerning assets, ownership, management and debt. The Company has paid $75,000 for structuring fees and expenses and $5,000 for commitment fees related to this SPA.
In August 2007, the Company was notified by YA Global of its legal name change to YA Global Investments, LP.
Interest expense for convertible secured notes payable for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 was $38,592 and $66,326, respectively.
25
In January 2008, the Company executed a Forbearance Agreement with YA Global whereby YA Global and Highgate have agreed to forbear from exercising their rights under the secured convertible debentures through February 27, 2008. The terms of the Forbearance Agreement record the amount due to YA Global and Highgate by the Company to be $1,214,093, which includes principal, interest and the redemption premium. The terms also include a reduction in the YA Global and Highgate Fixed Conversion Price to $0.065. In connection with this Agreement, the Company issued to YA Global 500,000 contingency warrants with an exercise price of $0.15 per share. The warrants are exercisable for a period of five (5) years from date of issuance. The warrants are held in escrow and will only be released to YA Global if the total amount due by the Company is not paid to YA Global by February 29, 2008.
In February 2008, the Forbearance Agreement was amended and extended to May 15, 2008, including the terms of the contingency warrants. Per the terms of the amendment, YA Global and Highgate shall receive an additional 105 days of interest for a total amount of $28,328.84 additional interest. The additional interest plus a security deposit of $171,671.16 were paid to YA Global and Highgate per the terms of a debt assignment agreement executed with an investor group in February 2008, for a total amount paid to YA Global of $200,000. The security deposit will be applied to the amount due YA Global and Highgate if the remaining balance due is paid in full by May 15, 2008. Otherwise, the security deposit will be applied to YA Global as liquidated damages.
In May 2008, the Company executed a Forbearance Agreement with YA Global that supersedes the January 2008 agreement and February 2008 amendment, whereby YA Global and Highgate have agreed to forbear from exercising their rights under the secured convertible debentures through October 15, 2008. Per the terms of the May 2008 Forbearance Agreement, the Company agreed to use its best efforts to make available sufficient authorized shares of its common stock to effect conversion of the entire amount outstanding, to YA Global and Highgate, by October 15, 2008. The terms of the contingency warrants became applicable to the terms of the May 2008 Forbearance Agreement. Additionally, per the terms of the agreement, the Companys investor group paid $75,000 to YA Global in May 2008 which is further broken down as:
·
$17,268 (additional prepaid interest to YA Global from May 15, 2008 to October 15, 2008)
·
$7,181 (additional prepaid interest to Highgate from May 15, 2008 to October 15, 2008)
·
$27,840 (accrued interest due on the Highgate debenture dated April 26, 2005)
·
$22,711 (non-refundable extension payment that will be applied to the redemption amount if the remaining balance is paid in full by October 15, 2008)
The payment of the accrued interest of $27,840 for the Highgate April 26, 2005 debenture reduced the total amount of our indebtedness to YA Global and Highgate to $1,186,253 as agreed to in the May 2008 Forbearance Agreement.
The Company is in discussions with YA Global regarding an extension to the May 2008 Forbearance Agreement, which was in effect until October 15, 2008. The Company and YA Global are negotiating an extension which would extend and amend the Forbearance Agreement to the end of the second quarter of 2009, but a final agreement has not yet been completed.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, YA Global converted $407,500 of the April 27, 2005 debenture into 2,703,749 shares of the Companys common stock, pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement. The conversion price ranged from $0.096 to $0.34 per share.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, Highgate had no conversions.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, Highgate converted $20,279.64 of the May 6, 2005 debenture into 59,046 shares of the Companys common stock, pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement. The conversion price was $0.34 per share.

NOTE 10 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The secured convertible notes payable are hybrid instruments which contain an embedded derivative feature which would individually warrant separate accounting as a derivative instrument under SFAS No. 133. The embedded derivative feature has been bifurcated from the debt host contract, referred to as the "Compound Embedded Derivative Liability". The embedded derivative feature includes the conversion feature within the note and an early redemption option. The value of the embedded derivative liability was bifurcated from the debt host contract and recorded as a derivative liability, which resulted in a reduction of the initial carrying amount (as unamortized discount) of the notes. The unamortized discount is amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the life of the notes, or 12 months.
The secured convertible debentures issued to YA Global and Highgate have been accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 133 and EITF 00-19. The Company has identified the above instruments having derivatives that require evaluation and accounting under the relevant guidance applicable to financial derivatives. These compound embedded derivatives have been bifurcated from their respective host debt contracts and accounted for as derivative liabilities in accordance with EITF 00-19. When multiple derivatives exist within convertible notes, they have been bundled together as a single hybrid compound instrument in accordance with SFAS No. 133 Derivatives Implementation Group Implementation Issue No. B-15, Embedded Derivatives: Separate Accounting for Multiple Derivative Features Embedded in a Single Hybrid Instrument. The compound embedded derivatives within the secured convertible notes have been recorded at fair value at the date of issuance; and are marked-to-market each reporting period with changes in fair value recorded to the Companys statement of operations as Derivative instrument expense, net. The Company has utilized a third party valuation consultant to fair value the compound embedded derivatives using a layered discounted probability-weighted cash flow approach. The fair value of the derivative liabilities are subject to the changes in the trading value of the Companys common stock, as well as other factors. As a result, the Companys financial statements may fluctuate from quarter-to-quarter based on factors, such as the price of the Companys stock at the balance sheet date and the amount of shares converted by note holders. Consequently, the financial position and results of operations may vary from quarter-to-quarter based on conditions other than operating revenues and expenses.
NOTE 11 - STOCKHOLDERS DEFICIT

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of StrikeForce Technologies, Inc., included herewith. This discussion should not be construed to imply that the results discussed herein will necessarily continue into the future, or that any conclusion reached herein will necessarily be indicative of actual operating results in the future. Such discussion represents only the best present assessment of our management.
Background
StrikeForce Technologies, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as we, us, our, SFT, StrikeForce and the Company) is a software development and services company that offers a suite of integrated computer network security products using proprietary technology. We were organized in August 2001 under New Jersey law as Strike Force Technical Services, Inc. We initially conducted operations as an integrator and reseller of computer hardware and telecommunications equipment and services. In December 2002, and formally memorialized by an agreement in September 2003, we acquired certain intellectual property rights and patent pending technology from NetLabs.com including the rights to further develop and sell their principal technology and certain officers of NetLabs.com joined StrikeForce as officers and directors of our Company. We subsequently changed our name to StrikeForce Technologies, Inc., under which we had conducted our business since August 2001. Our strategy is to develop and exploit our suite of network security products for customers in the corporate, financial, government, insurance, e-commerce and consumer sectors. We plan to grow our business primarily through this channel and also from internally generated sales, rather than by acquisitions. We have no subsidiaries and we conduct our operations from our corporate office in Edison, New Jersey.
The Company owns the exclusive right to license and develop various identification protection software products to protect computer networks from unauthorized access and to protect network owners and users from identity theft. The Company has developed a suite of products partly based upon the exclusive license and the Company is seeking to commercially exploit the products in the areas of financial services, e-commerce, corporate, government and consumer sectors. We are a development stage business and have had nominal revenues since our formation. On August 3, 2005 the Companys registration statement on Form SB-2 was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission and on December 14, 2005 the Company received its clearance for quotation on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board. On November 2 2006, the Company filed a Post-Effective Amendment to its Form SB-2 Registration Statement with the SEC. The SEC declared the Companys Post-effective Amendment effective on November 8, 2006.
We began our operations in 2001 as a reseller and integrator of computer hardware and iris biometric technology. We derived the majority of our revenues as an integrator from the time we started our operations through the first half of 2003. In December 2002, upon the acquisition of the licensing rights to certain intellectual property and patent pending technology from NetLabs.com, we shifted the focus of our business to developing and marketing our own suite of security products. Based upon the acquired licensing rights and additional research and development, the Company has now developed various identification protection software products to protect computer networks from unauthorized access and to protect network owners and users from identity theft. The Company is seeking to commercially exploit the products in the areas of financial services, e-commerce, corporate, government, insurance and consumer sectors. We have had increasing nominal revenues since our formation. We have maintained our relationship with Panasonic and LG as a reseller, primarily for the resale of biometric identification equipment, such as iris scanners, that can be used with our software products. We generated nominal revenues from our activities as a reseller during 2007 and 2006.
33
We completed the development of our ProtectID® platform at the end of June 2006 and we completed the core development of our keyboard encryption and anti-keylogger product, GuardedID®, in December 2006, which is currently being sold and distributed. We seek to locate customers in a variety of ways. These include contracts primarily with value added resellers and distributors (both inside the United States and globally), direct sales calls initiated by our internal staff, exhibitions at security and technology trade shows, through the media, consulting agreements and through our own and agent relationships. Our sales generate revenue either as an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) model, through a Hosting/License agreement, bundled with other companys products or through direct purchase by customers. We price our products for hosted consumer transactions based on the number of transactions in which our software products are utilized. We also price our products for business applications based on the number of users. These pricing models provide the Company with one-time, monthly, quarterly and yearly recurring revenues. We are also generating revenues from annual maintenance contracts, renewal fees and project an increase in revenues based upon the execution of various agreements that we have recently closed and are being implemented.
We generated all of our 2008 and 2007 revenues of $211,254 and $623,696, respectively from the sales of our security products. $485,274 of our 2007 revenues were deemed uncollectible and were charged off in the third and fourth quarters of 2007. We market our products to financial service firms, e-commerce companies, government agencies and the enterprise market in general and with virtual private networks, as well as technology service companies that service all the above markets. We seek such sales through our own direct efforts and primarily through distributors, resellers and third party agents. We are also seeking to license the technology as original equipment with computer hardware and software manufacturers. We are engaged in production installations and pilot projects with various distributors, resellers and direct customers, as well as having reached additional reseller agreements with strategic vendors globally. Our GuardedID® product is also being sold directly to consumers, primarily through the Internet as well as distributors, resellers, third party agents and potential Original Equipment Manufacturer ("OEM") agreements by bundling GuardedID® with their products, which could provide a value-add to their own products and offerings.
We have incurred substantial losses since our inception. We believe that our products provide a cost-effective and technologically competitive solution to address the problems of network security and identity theft in general. There can be no assurance, however, that our products will continue to gain acceptance in the commercial marketplace or that one of our competitors will not introduce technically superior products. The products that we offer to customers are discussed in Item 1, Description of Business, in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB filed on March 31, 2008.
We operate primarily as a software development company, providing security software products and services, to be sold to enterprises, Internet consumer businesses and consumers, both directly and through sales channels comprised of distributors, resellers, agents and OEM relationships, globally. We are focusing primarily on developing sales through channel relationships in which our products are offered by other manufacturers, distributors, value-added resellers and agents, globally. We also sell our suite of security products directly from our Edison, NJ office, which also augments our channel partner relationships. It is our strategy that these channel relationships will provide the greater percentage of our revenues ongoing. Examples of the channel relationships that we are pursuing include our attempts to establish OEM relationships with other security technology and software providers that would integrate or bundle the enhanced security capabilities of ProtectID® and or GuardedID® into their own product lines. These would include providers of networking software and manufacturers of computer and telecommunications hardware and software that provide managed services, as well as all markets interested in increasing the value of their products and packages, such as financial services software, anti-virus and identity theft product companies.
Our primary target markets include financial services such as banks, insurance companies and savings institutions, e-commerce based services companies, telecommunications and cellular carriers, technology software companies, government agencies and consumers. For the near term, we are narrowly focusing our concentration on short sales-cycle customers and strategic problem areas, such as where compliance with government regulations are key, stolen passwords used to acquire private information illegally, as well as remote users for medium to large size companies. Because we anticipate growing market demand, we are developing a sizeable global reseller and distribution channel as a strategy to generate, manage and fulfill demand for our products across market segments, minimizing the requirement for an increase in our staff. We intend to minimize the concentration on our initial direct sales efforts in the future as our distribution and reseller channels develop globally.
We intend to generate revenue through fees for ProtectID® and ValidateID, based on consumer volumes of usage in the e-commerce and financial services markets, one time per person fees in the enterprise markets, set-up and recurring transaction fees when the product is hosted, yearly maintenance fees and other one-time fees. GuardedID® pricing is for an annual license and we discount for volume purchases. GuardedID® pricing models, especially when bundling through OEM contracts, include monthly and quarterly recurring revenues. We also provide our clients a choice of operating our software internally by licensing or through our hosting service. GuardedID® requires a download on each and every computer it protects, whether for employees or consumers.

Use of Estimates
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition is based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. When preparing our financial statements, we 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 reporting amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Significant estimates include, but are not limited to, the estimated useful lives of property and equipment and website development costs. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Results of Operations
THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2008 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2007
Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2008 were $96,009 compared to $70,364 for the three months ended September 30, 2007, an increase of $25,645 or 36.5%. The increase in revenues was primarily due to the sales of our newly developed GuardedID® keyboard encryption and anti-keylogger technology, service fees and the renewal of several software maintenance plans related to the sales of our software.
Revenues generated consisted of hardware and software sales, services and maintenance sales, revenue from sign on fees and recurring transaction revenues. Hardware sales for the three months ended September 30, 2008 were $20,434 compared to $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2007, an increase of $20,434. The increase in hardware revenues was primarily due to the increase in the Companys sales of our one-time-password token key-fobs. Software, services and maintenance sales for the three months ended September 30, 2008 were $20,910 compared to $33,515 for the three months ended September 30, 2007, a decrease of $12,605. The decrease in software, services and maintenance revenues was primarily due to the renewal of several maintenance plans related to our software sales in 2007. Sign on fees for access to our hosted service provider to utilize our ASP transaction model amounted to $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to $2,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007, a decrease of $2,000. The decrease was due to the reduction in signing up new e-commerce clients. Transaction revenues from the ASP hosting model were $54,665 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and $34,849 for the three months ended September 30, 2007, an increase of $19,816. The increase was caused by an increased number of transactions being processed through the ASP hosting facility.
Cost of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was $48,613 compared to $34,152 for the three months ended September 30, 2007, an increase of $14,461, or 42.3%. The increase was primarily due to the increase in processing fees incurred as a result of the transactions relating to our ASP hosting service.
Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was $47,396 compared to $36,212 for the three months ended September 30, 2007, an increase of $11,184, or 30.1%. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to the sales of our newly developed GuardedID® keyboard encryption and anti-keylogger technology, service fees and the renewal of several software maintenance plans related to the sales of our software. Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased to 49.4% from 51.5% due to the increase in processing fees incurred as a result of the increase in the volume of transactions relating to our ASP hosting service.
Research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2008 were $117,210 compared to $92,370 for the three months ended September 30, 2007, an increase of $24,840, or 26.9%. The increase is primarily attributable to the increase in resources relating to Version 2.0 of our GuardedID® keyboard encryption & anti-keylogger technology, which is now in beta testing. The salaries, benefits and overhead costs of personnel conducting research and development of our software products comprise research and development expenses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2008 were $377,604 compared to $800,571 for the three months ended September 30, 2007, a decrease of $422,967 or 52.8%. The net decrease was due primarily to decreases in our promotional, marketing and professional fees which occurred in the three months ended September 30, 2008. Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, benefits and overhead costs for executive and administrative personnel, insurance, fees for professional services, including consulting, legal, and accounting fees, travel costs, non-cash stock compensation expense for the issuance of stock to non-employees and other general corporate expenses.
Other (income) expense for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was $356,160 as compared to ($584,401) for the three months ended September 30, 2007, representing an increase of $940,561, or 161%. The increase was primarily due to the net mark to market changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments relating to the convertible secured promissory notes.
35
Derivative instruments (income) expense represents the change in the fair value of the net derivative liability at period end, using a layered discounted probability-weighted cash flow approach. Interest expense derivatives represent the amortization of discount on the initial valuation of the derivatives, or the amortization of the change after any modification of debt. The change represents the amortization for both of the YA Global Investments, LP (YA Global), formerly Cornell Capital Partners, LP, and Highgate House Funds, Ltd (Highgate) debentures.
Our net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was $803,578 compared to a net loss of $272,328 for the three months ended September 30, 2007, an increase of $531,250, or 195%. The increase in our net loss was primarily due to the net mark to market changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments relating to the convertible secured promissory notes.
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2008 COMPARED TO THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2007
Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 were $211,254 compared to $623,696 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, a decrease of $412,442 or 66.1%. The decrease in revenues was primarily due to the amount of a one-time sale of our newly developed GuardedID® keyboard encryption and anti-keylogger technology that occurred in the first quarter of 2007. Of the total sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, $485,274 (of the revenues) were deemed uncollectible and were charged off in the third and fourth quarters of 2007.
Revenues generated consisted of hardware and software sales, services and maintenance sales, revenue from sign on fees and recurring transaction revenues. Hardware sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 were $21,852 compared to $8,333 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, an increase of $13,519. The increase in hardware revenues was primarily due to the increase in the Companys sales of our one-time-password token key-fobs. Software, services and maintenance sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 were $81,030 compared to $534,121 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, a decrease of $453,091. The decrease in software, services and maintenance revenues was primarily due to the amount of a one-time sale of our newly developed GuardedID® keyboard encryption and anti-keylogger technology that occurred in the first quarter of 2007 and was subsequently written off. Sign on fees for access to our hosted service provider to utilize our ASP transaction model amounted to $6,250 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to $2,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, an increase of $4,250. The increase was due to the increase in signing up new e-commerce clients. Transaction revenues from the ASP hosting model were $102,122 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and $79,242 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, an increase of $22,880. The increase was caused by an increased number of transactions being processed through the ASP hosting facility.
Cost of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $89,442 compared to $52,705 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, an increase of $36,737, or 69.7%. The increase was primarily due to the processing fees incurred as a result of the increase in transactions relating to our ASP hosting service.
Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $121,812 compared to $570,991 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, a decrease of $449,179, or 78.7%. The decrease in gross profit was primarily due to the amount of a one-time sale of our newly developed GuardedID® keyboard encryption and anti-keylogger technology that occurred in the first quarter of 2007 and was subsequently written off. Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased to 57.7% from 91.6% due an increased number of transactions being processed through the ASP hosting facility due to the addition of new e-commerce clients which result in a lower profit margin than our other products and services.
Research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 were $324,991 compared to $273,872 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, an increase of $51,119, or 18.7%. The increase is primarily attributable to the increase in resources relating to the Version 2.0 of our GuardedID® keyboard encryption and anti-keylogger technology, which is now in beta testing. The salaries, benefits and overhead costs of personnel conducting research and development of our software products comprise research and development expenses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 were $1,292,274 compared to $1,903,057 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, a decrease of $610,783 or 32.1%. The net decrease was due primarily to decreases in our promotional, marketing and professional fees which occurred in the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

Other (income) expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was ($293,635) as compared to $509,623 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, representing a decrease in other expense of $803,258, or 158%. The decrease was primarily due to the forgiveness of certain debt and to net mark to market changes of ($998,504) in the fair value of derivative financial instruments relating to the convertible secured promissory notes.
36
Our net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $1,201,818 compared to a net loss of $2,115,561 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, a decrease of $913,743, or 43.2%. The decrease in our net loss was primarily due to the forgiveness of certain debt and to net mark to market changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments relating to the convertible secured promissory notes.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our total current assets at September 30, 2008 were $759,175, including $20,183 in cash and $367,819 in restricted cash. Additionally, we had a stockholders deficiency in the amount of $6,626,428 at September 30, 2008. The increase in the deficiency is a result of the Companys overall net losses and funding through an increased debt position from convertible debentures and promissory notes rather than the sale of stock. We have historically incurred losses and have financed our operations through loans, principally from affiliated parties such as our directors, and from the proceeds of debt and equity financing. The liabilities include a computed liability for the fair value of derivatives of $469,760, which will only be realized on the conversion of the derivatives, or settlement of the debentures.
We financed our operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 primarily through debt and equity financing, with minimal sources of cash resulting from recurring revenues from our security products and services and maintenance sales. We expect that we will rely, at least in the near future, on debt and equity financings, although such sources are not assured. If such sources are available, there is also no assurance that such financing can be obtained at terms that would be acceptable to the Company. Inherently, as time progresses and corporate exposure in the market grows, we hope to attain additional revenue from the sales of our security products and services. Until this is accomplished, we will continue to attempt to secure additional financing through both the public and private market sectors to meet our ongoing commitments of capital expenditures.
At September 30, 2008, $427,447 in aggregate principal amount of the YA Global debentures was issued and outstanding.
At September 30, 2008, $244,720 in aggregate principal amount of the Highgate debentures remained outstanding.
In January 2008, the Company executed a Forbearance Agreement with YA Global whereby YA Global and Highgate agreed to forbear from exercising their rights under the secured convertible debentures through February 27, 2008. The terms of the Forbearance Agreement record the amount due to YA Global and Highgate by the Company to be $1,214,093, which includes principal, interest and the redemption premium. The terms also include a reduction in the YA Global and Highgate Fixed Conversion Price to $0.065. In connection with this Agreement, the Company issued to YA Global 500,000 contingency warrants with an exercise price of $0.15 per share. The warrants are exercisable for a period of five (5) years from date of issuance. The warrants are held in escrow and will only be released to YA Global if the total amount due by the Company is not paid to YA Global by February 29, 2008. The total amount of our indebtedness to YA Global and Highgate in the amount of $1,214,093, as agreed to in the Forbearance Agreement, is further broken down as:
·
$427,447 (YA Global secured convertible debenture)
·
$204,775 (YA Global accrued and unpaid interest on debenture)
·
$85,489 (YA Global 20% redemption premium)
·
$244,720 (Highgate secured convertible debenture)
·
$86,937 (Highgate accrued and unpaid interest on debentures)
·
$48,944 (Highgate 20% redemption premium)
·
$100,000 (YA Global promissory note dated May 1, 2006)
·
$15,781 (YA Global accrued and unpaid interest on note)
In February 2008, the Forbearance Agreement was amended and extended to May 15, 2008, including the terms of the contingency warrants. Per the terms of the amendment, YA Global and Highgate shall receive an additional 105 days of interest for a total amount of $28,328.84 additional interest. The additional interest plus a security deposit of $171,671.16 were paid to YA Global and Highgate per the terms of a debt assignment agreement executed with the StrikeForce Investor Group (SIG) in February 2008, for a total amount paid to YA Global of $200,000. The security deposit will be applied to the amount due YA Global and Highgate if the remaining balance is paid in full by May 15, 2008. Otherwise, the security deposit will be applied to YA Global as liquidated damages.
37
In May 2008, the Company executed a Forbearance Agreement with YA Global that supersedes the January 2008 agreement and February 2008 amendment, whereby YA Global and Highgate have agreed to forbear from exercising their rights under the secured convertible debentures through October 15, 2008. Per the terms of the May 2008 Forbearance Agreement, the Company agreed to use its best efforts to make available sufficient authorized shares of its common stock to effect conversion of the entire amount outstanding, to YA Global and Highgate, by October 15, 2008. The terms of the contingency warrants became applicable to the terms of the May 2008 Forbearance Agreement. Additionally, per the terms of the agreement, the SIG paid $75,000 to YA Global in May 2008 which is further broken down as:
·
$17,268 (additional prepaid interest to YA Global from May 15, 2008 to October 15, 2008)
·
$7,181 (additional prepaid interest to Highgate from May 15, 2008 to October 15, 2008)
·
$27,840 (accrued interest due on the Highgate debenture dated April 26, 2005)
·
$22,711 (non-refundable extension payment that will be applied to the redemption amount if the remaining balance is paid in full by October 15, 2008)
The payment of the accrued interest of $27,840 for the Highgate April 26, 2005 debenture reduced the total amount of our indebtedness to YA Global and Highgate to $1,186,253 as agreed to in the May 2008 Forbearance Agreement.
The Company is in discussions with YA Global regarding an extension to the May 2008 Forbearance Agreement, which was in effect until October 15, 2008. The Company and YA Global are negotiating an extension which would extend and amend the Forbearance Agreement to the end of the second quarter of 2009, but a final agreement has not yet been completed.

Based on present revenues and expenses, we are unable to generate sufficient funds internally to sustain our current operations. We must raise additional capital or other borrowing sources to continue our operations. It is managements plan to seek additional funding through the sale of equity and the issuance of certain debt instruments, including promissory and convertible notes. If we issue additional shares of common stock, the value of shares of existing stockholders is likely to be diluted.
However, the terms of the convertible secured debentures issued to certain of the existing stockholders require that we obtain the consent of such stockholders prior to our entering into subsequent financing arrangements. No assurance can be given that we will be able to obtain additional financing, that we will be able to obtain additional financing on terms that are favorable to us or that the holders of the secured debentures will provide their consent to permit us to enter into subsequent financing arrangements.
Our future revenues and profits, if any, will primarily depend upon our ability to secure sales of our suite of network security and anti-malware products. We do not presently generate significant revenue from the sales of our products. Although management believes that our products are competitive for customers seeking a high level of network security, we cannot forecast with any reasonable certainty whether our products will gain acceptance in the marketplace and if so by when.
Except for the limitations imposed upon us respective to the convertible secured debentures of YA Global and Highgate, there are no trends, material or known, which will restrict either short term or long-term liquidity.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.

Going Concern
We are assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have recorded a net loss of $1,201,818 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to a net loss of $2,115,561 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. At September 30, 2008, the Company's accumulated deficit was $17,578,268, its working capital deficiency was $6,157,059 and approximately 77% of its assets consist of deferred royalties. Additionally, for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we had negative cash flows from operating activities of $1,109,135. Since our inception, we have incurred losses, had an accumulated deficit, and have experienced negative cash flows from operations. The expansion and development of our business may require additional capital. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
We have issued three-year and two-year secured debentures in 2004 and 2005 that are convertible into shares of our common stock to YA Global and Highgate, respectively. Under the terms of the secured debentures, we are restricted in our ability to issue additional securities as long as any portion of the principal or interest on the secured debentures remains outstanding.
Currently, the Company is attempting to generate sufficient revenues and improve gross margins by implementing a revised sales strategy. In principle, the Company is redirecting its sales focus from direct sales to international channel sales, where the Company is primarily selling through a channel of Distributors, Value Added Resellers, Strategic Partners and Original Equipment Manufacturers. The revenues from this approach are more lucrative than selling direct, due to the increase in sales volume of GuardedID® and ProtectID® through the channel partners. This strategy, if successful, should increase the Companys sales and revenues allowing us to mitigate future losses. In addition, management has raised funds through convertible debt instruments and the sale of equity in order to alleviate the working capital deficiency. Through the utilization of the capital markets, the Company is seeking to locate the additional funding necessary to continue to expand and enhance its growth; however, there can be no assurance that we will be able to increase revenues or raise additional capital. The Company is currently in negotiations with other investors, but the success of such negotiations cannot be assured.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. If we fail to generate positive cash flows or obtain additional financing when required, we may have to modify, delay or abandon some or all of our business and expansion plans.

In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), we record certain assets at the lower of cost or fair market value. In determining the fair value of certain of our assets, we must make judgments, estimates and assumptions regarding circumstances or trends that could affect the value of theses assets, such as economic conditions. Those judgments, estimates and assumptions are based on information available to us at that time. Many of those conditions, trends and circumstances are outside our control and if changes were to occur in the events, trends or other circumstances on which our judgments or estimates were based, we may be required under U.S. GAAP to adjust those estimates that are affected by those changes. Changes in such estimates may require that we reduce the carrying value of the affected assets on our balance sheet (which are commonly referred to as write downs of the assets involved).
It is our practice to establish reserves or allowances to record adjustments or write-downs in the carrying value of assets, such as accounts receivable. Such write-downs are recorded as charges to income or increases in the expense in our Statement of Operations in the periods when such reserves or allowances are established or increased. As a result, our judgments, estimates and assumptions about future events can and will affect not only the amounts at which we record such assets on our balance sheet but also our results of operations.
In making our estimates and assumptions, we follow U.S. GAAP applicable to our business and those that we believe will enable us to make fair and consistent estimates of the fair value of assets and establish adequate reserves or allowances. Set forth below is a summary of the accounting policies that we believe are material to an understanding of our financial condition and results of operations.

Discount on Debt
The Company has allocated the proceeds received from convertible debt instruments between the underlying debt instruments and has recorded the conversion feature as a liability in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS No. 133) and related interpretations. The conversion feature and certain other features that are considered embedded derivative instruments, such as a conversion reset provision, a penalty provision and redemption option, have been recorded at their fair value within the terms of SFAS No. 133 as its fair value can be separated from the convertible note and its conversion is independent of the underlying note value. The conversion liability is marked to market each reporting period with the resulting gains or losses shown on the Statement of Operations. The Company has also recorded the resulting discount on debt related to the warrants and conversion feature and is amortizing the discount using the effective interest rate method over the life of the debt instruments.
Derivative Financial Instruments
We do not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks.
The Company evaluates its convertible debt, options, warrants or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and related interpretations including Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 00-19 Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company's Own Stock (EITF Issue No. 00-19). The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the embedded derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the Statement of Operations as 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 under SFAS No. 133 are reclassified to liability at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. Derivative instrument liabilities are 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.
The fair value model utilized to value the various compound embedded derivatives in the secured convertible notes comprises multiple probability-weighted scenarios under various assumptions reflecting the economics of the secured convertible notes, such as the risk-free interest rate, expected Company stock price and volatility, likelihood of conversion and or redemption, and likelihood of default status and timely registration. At inception, the fair value of the single compound embedded derivative was bifurcated from the host debt contract and recorded as a derivative liability which resulted in a reduction of the initial notional carrying amount of the secured convertible notes (as unamortized discount which will be amortized over the term of the notes under the effective interest method).
The Company accounts for derivatives in accordance with SFAS No. 133 and the related interpretations. SFAS No. 133, as amended, requires companies to recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on: (i) whether the derivative has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship, and (ii) the type of hedging relationship. For those derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, a company must designate the hedging instrument based upon the exposure being hedged as either a fair value hedge, cash flow hedge or hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation.
The derivatives (convertible debentures) issued on December 20, 2004 and January 18, 2005 (amended April 27, 2005) and on April 27, 2005 and May 6, 2005 have been accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS No. 133) and the related interpretations. SFAS No. 133, as amended and the Financial Accounting Standards Board Emerging Issues Task Force Issue Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Companys Own Stock (EITF No. 00-19).
The Company has identified the YA Global and Highgate debentures have compound embedded derivatives. These compound embedded derivatives have been bifurcated from their respective host debt contracts and accounted for as derivative liabilities in accordance with EITF 00-19. When multiple derivatives exist within the Convertible Notes, they have been bundled together as a single hybrid compound instrument in accordance with SFAS No. 133 Derivatives Implementation Group Implementation Issue No. B-15, Embedded Derivatives: Separate Accounting for Multiple Derivative Features Embedded in a Single Hybrid Instrument.
41
The compound embedded derivatives within the Convertible Notes have been recorded at fair value at the date of issuance; and are marked-to-market each reporting period with changes in fair value recorded to the Companys Statement of Operations as Net change in fair value of derivative liabilities. The Company has utilized a third party valuation consultant to fair value the embedded derivatives using layered discounted probability-weighted cash flow approach. We have developed a financial model to value the compound embedded derivatives analyzing the conversion features, redemption options and penalty provisions. Additionally, our model has been developed to incorporate managements assessment of the various potential outcomes relating to the specific features and provisions contained in the convertible debt instruments.
The six primary events that can occur which will affect the value of the compound embedded derivatives are (a) payments made in cash, (b) payments made with stock, (c) the holder converts the note(s), (d) the company redeems the note(s), (e) the company fails to register the common shares related to the convertible debt and (f) the company defaults on the note (s).
The primary factors driving the economic value of the embedded derivatives are the same as the Black-Scholes factors, except that they are incorporated intrinsically into the binomial calculations for this purpose. Those factors are stock price, stock volatility, trading volume, outstanding shares issued, beneficial shares owned by the holder, interest rate, whether or not a timely registration has been obtained, change in control, event of default, and the likelihood of obtaining alternative financing. We assigned probabilities to each of these potential scenarios over the initial term, and at each quarter, the remaining term of the underlying financial instrument. The financial model generates a quarterly cash flow over the remaining life of the underlying debentures and assigns a risk-weighted probability to the resultant cash flow. We then assigned a discounted weighted average cash flow over the potential scenarios which were compared to the discounted cash flow of the debentures without the subject embedded derivatives. The result is a value for the compound embedded derivatives at the point of issue and at subsequent quarters.
The fair value of the derivative liabilities are subject to the changes in the trading value of the Companys common stock, as well as other factors. As a result, the Companys financial statements may fluctuate from quarter-to-quarter based on factors, such as the price of the Companys stock at the balance sheet date and the amount of shares converted by YA Global and Highgate. Consequently, our financial position and results of operations may vary from quarter-to-quarter based on conditions other than our operating revenues and expenses.
Software Development Costs
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed (SFAS No. 86) requires capitalization of software development costs incurred subsequent to establishment of technological feasibility and prior to the availability of the product for general release to customers. Systematic amortization of capitalized costs begins when a product is available for general release to customers and is computed on a product-by-product basis at a rate not less than straight-line basis over the products remaining estimated economic life. To date, all costs have been accounted for as research and development costs and no software development cost has been capitalized.
Management will evaluate the net realizable value of software costs capitalized by comparing estimated future gross revenues reduced by the estimated future costs of completing, disposing of and maintaining the software. These costs also include the costs of performing maintenance and customer support required by us.
Revenue Recognition
The Companys revenues are derived principally from the sale and installation of its various identification protection software products and related hardware and services. The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned less estimated future returns. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when it has persuasive evidence of an arrangement that the product has been shipped or the services have been rendered to the customer, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. In addition to the aforementioned general policy, the following are the specific revenue recognition policies for each major category of revenue:
We recognize revenue from the sales of software licenses when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the product has been delivered, the fee is fixed and determinable and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Delivery generally occurs when the product is delivered to a common carrier.
We assess collection based on a number of factors, including past transaction history with the customer and the creditworthiness of the customer. We do not request collateral from our customers. If we determine that collection of a fee is not reasonably assured, we defer the fee and recognize revenue at the time collection becomes reasonably assured, which is generally upon the receipt of cash.
For technology arrangements with multiple obligations (for example, undelivered software, maintenance and support), we allocate revenue to each component of the arrangement using the residual value method based on the fair value or the fixed agreement of the undelivered elements. Accordingly, we defer technology revenue in the amount equivalent to the fair value or the fixed agreement of the undelivered elements.
42
We recognize revenue for maintenance services ratably over the contract term. Our training and consulting services are billed at hourly rates and we generally recognize revenue as these services are performed. However, upon execution of a contract, we determine whether any services included within the arrangement require us to perform significant work either to alter the underlying software or to build additional complex interfaces so that the software performs as the customer requests. If these services are included as part of an arrangement, we recognize the fee using the percentage of completion method. We determine the percentage of completion based on our estimate of costs incurred to date compared with the total costs budgeted to complete the project.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
Long-lived assets, which include property and equipment, deferred royalties, website development cost and patents are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable or the useful life is shorter than originally estimated.
The Company assesses the recoverability of its assets by comparing the projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their remaining lives against their respective carrying amounts. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets. Fair value is generally determined using the assets expected future discounted cash flows or market value, if readily determinable. If assets are determined to be recoverable, but the useful lives are shorter than originally estimated, the net book value of the assets is depreciated over the newly determined remaining useful lives.
Stock Based Transactions
We have concluded various transactions where we paid the consideration in shares of our common stock and/or warrants or options to purchase shares of our common stock. These transactions include:
- |
Acquiring the services of various professionals who provided us with a range of corporate consultancy services, including developing business and financial models, financial advisory services, strategic planning, development of business plans, investor presentations and advice and assistance with investment funding; |
- |
Retaining the services of our Advisory Board to promote the business of the Company; |
- |
Settlement of our indebtedness; and |
- |
Providing incentives to attract, retain and motivate employees who are important to our success. |
When our stock is used, the transactions are valued using the price of the shares on the date they are issued or if the value of the asset or service being acquired is available and is believed to fairly represent its market value, the transaction is valued using the value of the asset or service being provided.
When options or warrants to purchase our stock are used in transactions with third parties or our employees, the transaction is valued using the Black-Scholes valuation method. The Black-Scholes valuation method is widely used and accepted as providing the fair market value of an option or warrant to purchase stock at a fixed price for a specified period of time. Black-Scholes uses five (5) variables to establish market value of stock options or warrants:
- strike price (the price to be paid for a share of our stock);
- price of our stock on the day options or warrants are granted;
- number of days that the options or warrants can be exercised before they expire;
- trading volatility of our stock; and
- annual interest rate on the day the option or warrant is granted.
The determination of expected volatility requires management to make an estimate and the actual volatility may vary significantly from that estimate. Accordingly, the determination of the resulting expense is based on a management estimate.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
On June 5, 2003, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) adopted final rules under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (Section 404), as amended by SEC Release No. 33-8934 on June 26, 2008. Commencing with its annual report for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009, the Company will be required to include a report of management on its internal control over financial reporting. The internal control report must include a statement:
·
Of managements responsibility for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over its financial reporting;
·
Of managements assessment of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of year end; and
·
Of the framework used by management to evaluate the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
Furthermore, in the following fiscal year, it is required to file the auditors attestation report separately on the Companys internal control over financial reporting on whether it believes that the Company has maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting.
In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 141 (Revised 2007) Business Combinations (SFAS No. 141(R)), which requires the Company to record fair value estimates of contingent consideration and certain other potential liabilities during the original purchase price allocation, expense acquisition costs as incurred and does not permit certain restructuring activities previously allowed under Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 95-3 to be recorded as a component of purchase accounting. SFAS No. 141(R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements, which shall be applied retrospectively for all periods presented. The Company will adopt this standard at the beginning of the Companys year ending December 31, 2008 for all prospective business acquisitions. The Company has not determined the effect that the adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) will have on the financial results of the Company.
In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 160 Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - an amendment of ARB No. 51 (SFAS No. 160), which causes noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries to be included in the equity section of the balance sheet. SFAS No. 160 applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements, which shall be applied retrospectively for all periods presented. The Company will adopt this standard at the beginning of the Companys year ending December 31, 2008 for all prospective business acquisitions. The Company has not determined the effect that the adoption of SFAS No. 160 will have on the financial results of the Company.
In March 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 161 Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (SFAS No. 161), which changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Pursuant to SFAS No.161, Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entitys financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008 with early application encouraged. SFAS No. 161 encourages but does not require disclosures for earlier periods presented for comparative purposes at initial adoption. In years after initial adoption, this Statement requires comparative disclosures only for periods subsequent to initial adoption. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 161 to have a material impact on the financial results of the Company.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company is subject to certain market risks, including changes in interest rates and currency exchange rates. The Company does not undertake any specific actions to limit those exposures.
44
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")). Disclosure controls and procedures are the controls and other procedures that we designed to ensure that we record, process, summarize and report in a timely manner the information we must disclose in reports that we file with or submit to the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
ITEM 4A(T). MANAGEMENTS ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the company in accordance with as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the (i) effectiveness and efficiency of operations, (ii) reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and (iii) compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Our internal controls framework is based on the criteria set forth in the Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Managements assessment of the effectiveness of the small business issuers internal control over financial reporting is as of the year ended December 31, 2007. We believe that internal control over financial reporting is effective. We have not identified any, current material weaknesses considering the nature and extent of our current operations and any risks or errors in financial reporting under current operations.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the companys registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Managements report was not subject to attestation by the Companys registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only managements report in this annual report.
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING.
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2008, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
