PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
StrikeForce Technologies, Inc. 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. We formally memorialized by an agreement in September 2003 in which we acquired certain intellectual property rights and patent pending technology from NetLabs.com including the rights to further develop and sell their principal technology. In addition, certain officers of NetLabs.com joined our company as officers and directors of our company. We subsequently changed our name to StrikeForce Technologies, Inc., under which we have conducted our business since August 2003. Our strategy is to develop and market our suite of network security products to the corporate, financial, government, insurance, e-commerce and consumer sectors. We plan to grow our business primarily through internally generated sales, rather than by acquisitions. We have no subsidiaries and we conduct our operations from our corporate office in Edison, New Jersey.
We own 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. We have developed a suite of products partly based upon this exclusive license that is targeted to the financial services, e-commerce, corporate, government, healthcare and consumer sectors. We are a development stage business and have had nominal revenues since our formation. On August 3, 2005, our registration statement on Form SB-2 was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) and on December 14, 2005, we received our clearance for quotation on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board. On November 2, 2006, we filed a Post-Effective Amendment to our Form SB-2 Registration Statement with the SEC. The SEC declared our 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. From the time we started our operations through the first half of 2003, we derived the majority of our revenues as an integrator. 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, we have developed various identification protection software products to protect computer networks from unauthorized access and to protect network owners and users from identity theft. The technology developed by the Company and used in the Companys GuardedID® product is the subject of a pending patent application. In November 2010, we received notice that the United States Patent Office has issued an official Notice of Allowance for the patent application for the technology relating to our ProtectID® product, titled "Multi-Channel Device Utilizing a Centralized Out-of-Band Authentication System".
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, with continuous enhancements, 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 internationally), direct sales calls initiated by our internal staff, exhibitions at security and technology trade shows, through the media, through 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 cloud 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 our company with one-time, monthly, quarterly and yearly recurring revenues. We are also generating revenues from annual maintenance contracts, renewal fees and expect 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 2010 and 2009 revenues of $265,990 and $411,737, respectively, from the sales of our security products. 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 internationally. Our GuardedID® product is also being sold directly to consumers, primarily through the Internet as well as distributors, resellers, third party agents and potential OEM agreements by bundling GuardedID® with their products (providing a value-add to their own products and offerings).
We have incurred substantial losses since our inception. Our management believes that our products provide a cost-effective and technologically competitive solution to address the problems of network security and identity theft in general. Newly drafted amendments for the FFIEC regulations include the need for solutions that our management believes our products directly address. However, there can be no assurance that our products will continue to gain acceptance and continue to grow in the commercial marketplace or that one of our competitors will not introduce technically superior products.
Our executive office is located at 1090 King Georges Post Road, Suite 603, Edison, NJ 08837. Our telephone number is (732) 661-9641. We have 7 employees. Our Companys website is www.strikeforcetech.com.

Our Products
StrikeForce is a software development and services company. We own and are seeking to commercially exploit 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. Our principal products ProtectID® and GuardedID®, inclusive of our unique CryptoColor® technology, are proprietary authentication and keystroke encryption technologies that are intended to eliminate unauthorized access to computer networks and to prevent unauthorized individuals from copying (logging) keystrokes. We are seeking to develop a market for our suite of products in the financial services, e-commerce, corporate, healthcare, government and consumer sectors. The technology developed by our company and used in our companys GuardedID® product is the subject of a pending patent application. In November 2010, we received notice that the United States Patent Office has issued an official Notice of Allowance for the patent application for the Out-of-Band authentication process technology relating to our ProtectID® product, titled "Multi-Channel Device Utilizing a Centralized Out-of-Band Authentication System". In January 2011, we received notice that the United States Patent Office issued the Company Patent No. 7,870,599. The products are as follows:
o | ProtectID® is an authentication platform that uses Out-of-Band two-factor cloud service technology to authenticate computer network users by a variety of methods including traditional passwords combined with a telephone, iPhone, Blackberry, PDA or multiple computer secure sessions, biometric identification or encrypted devices such as tokens or smartcards as examples. The authentication procedure separates authentication information such as usernames and passwords or biometric information, which are then provided to the networks host server on separate channels. The platform provides the client choices which will evolve over time with newly available technologies. |
o | ValidateID® is a software application that validates the identity of an end user or applicant by asking a series of questions based on private and publicly available information, e.g., prior addresses or motor vehicles that are unlikely to be known by anyone other than the correct user. We phased out this product offering at the end of April 2010 so we could focus on our other two products. |
|
|
o | GuardedID® creates a 128-bit encrypted real time separate pathway for information delivery from a keyboard to a targeted application on a local computer, preventing the use of spyware/malware to collect user information. This product provides keyboard encryption and helps prevent keylogging from occurring in real time, which helps prevent the number one threat to consumers and businesses in todays market: keylogging software, which is stealth software embedded in web sites, emails, pictures, MP3 files, videos or other software that, once unknowingly launched, secretly monitors and records all of a user's keystrokes on the computer and sends the data to the identity thief without the users awareness. Keylogging has been reported as the #1 cause of major data breaches that occurred in 2010, as reported in the 2010 Verizon Data Breach Report. |
Our products sometimes include software and hardware that we contractually license from other vendors. We also distribute and resell related technology software and hardware products. These products include VASCO (authentication and e-signature solutions company) tokens, as well as additional authentication and telecommunication software devices.
The ProtectID® cloud service product can either be hosted by our service provider (we have a strategic arrangement with a third party SAS70 hosting service) or not hosted and internally installed into a customers infrastructure. With the exception of our licenses with Microsoft and our reseller agreement with VASCO, none of our contracts for hardware or software are with a sole supplier of that product.
6
Factors that are considered important to our success include, but are not limited to, the following:
o ProtectID® addresses the needs of a broad variety of customers for authentication security. One of the biggest problems facing the world is Identity Theft, the effects of which total an estimated $221 billion per year in business losses per The Aberdeen Group (source: Identity Theft Statistics Continue to Rise article on www.ezinearticles.com).
o FBI warns of $100 million cyber-threat to small business, reported November 3, 2009 by Computerworld
o Bank Technology News reported in January 2010, that consumers have been aware of the threats of online crime, yet are still falling prey to scams at increasing rates, according to RSA, who found that 70% of users feel their banks should implement stronger security.
o The U.S. Federal Government increased its budget for cyber solutions to fight Identity Theft by 1,000%, from approximately $1.7 billion in 2007 to $17 billion in 2008.
o 84% of all data breaches in 2008 and more in 2009 were caused by key loggers (malware copying keystrokes), as reported by the Verizon report in January 2009 & 2010.
o Cybercrime became a $1 trillion+ business in 2008, noted by McAfee.
o Heartland Payment Systems Inc. said that cyber criminals compromised its computer network using keyloggers, gaining access to customer information associated with 100 million card transactions it handles each month, as reported by the Wall Street Journal on January 21, 2009.
o In respect to the latest version of our keyboard encryption and anti-keylogger Product, GuardedID®, a recent report from a government security group known as CERT states that minimally 80% of the malicious keylogging programs are undetected by the major anti-virus software suites. However, GuardedID® helps render the malicious programs useless, in real time.
o The Effectiveness of Our Products: Our products have been designed to provide the highest available level of security for computer networks and individual users. In particular, we believe that the now Patented Out-of-Band authentication process is an innovative technology that will greatly prevent unauthorized access to computer networks and will provide effective security products to drastically reduce the incidence of identity fraud for our customers. We have contractually commenced implementation of our products on a large scale, yet there can be no assurance that they will function in all aspects as intended. Likewise, a high level of innovation characterizes the software industry and there can be no assurance that our competitors will not develop and introduce a superior product. The effective functioning of our products once deployed is an important factor in our future success.
o Ability to Integrate our Software with Customer Environments: There are numerous operating systems that are used by computer networks. The ability of a software product to integrate with multiple operating systems is likely to be a significant factor in customer acceptance of particular products. StrikeForces ProtectID® operates on an independent cloud service platform and is able to integrate with multiple operating systems and user interfaces. ProtectID® has been designed to use multiple authentication devices on the market (including, but not limited to, biometrics, key-fob tokens, iPhones, iPads, Blackberrys, PDAs, smart cards and telephones). Our ability to integrate our products with multiple existing and future technologies is likely to be a key factor in the acceptance of our product. Our GuardedID® product currently operates with Windows Internet Explorer (IE) and Firefox web browsers and our upgraded Premium version works with almost all applications running on a Windows platform, inclusive of Microsoft Office. New features and functions for both products continue to be developed via research and development, as well as the ability to operate on other technology platforms, such as Apple..
o Relative Cost: We have attempted to design our products to provide a cost-effective suite of products for financial services, e-commerce, commercial, healthcare, government and direct-consumer customers. Our ability to offer our products at a competitive price and to add to existing installations is likely to be a key factor in the acceptance of our product.
The technology developed by our company and used in our companys GuardedID® product is the subject of a pending patent application. In November 2010, we received notice that the United States Patent Office has issued an official Notice of Allowance for the patent application for the technology relating to our Out-of-Band authentication process ProtectID® product, titled "Multi-Channel Device Utilizing a Centralized Out-of-Band Authentication System". In January 2011, we received notice that the United States Patent Office issued the Company Patent No. 7,870,599.

Business Model
We operate primarily as a software development company, providing security software products and services, to be sold to enterprises, government agencies, Internet consumer businesses and consumers, directly and through sales channels comprised of distributors, resellers, agents and OEM relationships internationally. 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, internationally. 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, identity theft products 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, healthcare, government agencies and consumers. For the near term, we are narrowly focusing our concentration on strategic problem areas relating to identity theft, such as where compliance with government regulations are key, stolen passwords used to acquire private information illegally, data breaches, as well as remote users for medium to large size companies. Because we anticipate a 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 continue to develop internationally.
We intend to generate revenue through fees for ProtectID® 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, transaction fees through our Cloud Service and other one-time fees. We also intend to generate revenues through sales of our GuardedID® Standard, Premium and Enterprise products. 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 ProtectID® authentication software internally by licensing or through our Cloud Service. GuardedID® requires a download on each and every computer it protects, whether for employees or consumers.
Marketing
Our multi-channel marketing strategy includes:
o Direct sales to enterprise and commercial customers (being minimized over time).
o Resellers, Agents & Distributors (our strategic sales channel) who distribute and resell our products and services to enterprise and commercial customers (technology and software product distributors, systems integrators, other security technology and software vendors, telecom companies, identity theft related product companies, etc.).
o Application Service Provider (ASP) Partners: Our certified SAS 70 third party service provides a hosting platform that facilitates faster implementations with choices at competitive pricing.
o Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM): SFT products are sold to other security technology vendors that integrate ProtectID® and GuardedID® into their products (bundling) and services.
o Internet sites that sell GuardedID® to consumers and small enterprises.
In December 2007, we executed an agreement with a nationwide premier data center and co-location services provider who will function as an Application Service Provider for our ProtectID product, which requires a secondary server used for the Out-of-Band two-factor authentication technology. We believe that this relationship improves the implementation time, reduces the cost and training requirements and allows for ease of scalability on an as needed basis. The hosting site is also SAS 70 certified, which is critical to providing a secure compliant service that is required by most of our clients. Our agreement with the services provider was for a one-year (1) term ending in December 2008 and renews automatically for one-year (1) terms. The relationship can be terminated by either party on sixty days written notice. The hosting service is compensated by StrikeForce based on a flat monthly fee per the terms of the contract that can increase as StrikeForce requires additional services.
8
Intellectual Property
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.
The technology developed by the Company and used in the Companys GuardedID® product is the subject of a pending patent application. In November 2010, we received notice that the United States Patent Office has issued an official Notice of Allowance for the patent application for the technology relating to our ProtectID® product, titled "Multi-Channel Device Utilizing a Centralized Out-of-Band Authentication System". In January 2011, we received notice that the United States Patent Office issued the Company Patent No. 7,870,599 relating to our ProtectID® product. The Companys firewall product, which was in the research and design phase, is no longer being developed, therefore, the pending provisional patent application was allowed to expire. A fourth patent application relating to the Companys ProtectID® product was combined into the first ProtectID® patent application and the fourth application was allowed to lapse.
We have three trademarks that have been approved and registered: ProtectID®, GuardedID® and CryptoColor®.
A portion of our software is licensed from third parties and the remainder is developed by our own team of developers. We rely upon confidentiality agreements signed by our employees, consultants and third parties to protect the intellectual property rights.
We license technology from third parties, including software that is integrated with internally developed software and used in our products to perform key functions. We anticipate that we will continue to license technology from third parties in the future. Although we are not substantially dependent on any individual licensed technology, some of the software that we license from third parties could be difficult for us to replace. The effective implementation of our products depends upon the successful operation of third-party licensed products in conjunction with our suite of products, and therefore any undetected errors in these licensed products could create delays in the implementation of our products, impair the functionality of our products, delay new product introductions, damage our reputation, and/or cause us to provide substitute products.
Business Strategy
We expect to incur significant additional costs before we become profitable. We anticipate that most of the costs that we incur will be related to salaries, professional fees, marketing, sales and research & design. We anticipate that we will increase our sales force by approximately one full-time employee and our technology staff by approximately two employees during the next 6 months. At the present time, our monthly burn rate is approximately $85,000 per month. We expect that our monthly cash usage for operations will increase in the future due to contracted and anticipated increased volumes and the preceding additions. We anticipate that the area in which we will experience the greatest increase in operating expenses is in marketing, selling, advertising, payroll related to sales and product support, technology and global strategic business consultants.
Our primary strategy over the next 12 months is to continue the focus on developing additional channel partners, including distributors, resellers and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). Secondly, our internal sales team will target potential direct sales to network customers, and in industries that management believes provides the greatest potential for near-term sales. These include small to medium sized financial institutions, government agencies, e-commerce, healthcare and enterprise businesses. We are also executing agreements with strategic resellers and distributors for marketing, selling and supporting our products internationally. It is our intention to ultimately utilize distributors, resellers and Company agents to generate the bulk of our sales internationally. There can be no assurance, however, that we will succeed in implementing our sales strategy. Although management believes that there is an increasingly strong market for our products, we have not generated substantial revenue from the sale of our principal products and there is no assurance we can secure a market sufficient to permit us to achieve profitability in the next twelve months.
9
Competition
The software development and services market is characterized by innovation and competition. There are several well-established companies within this market that offer network security systems and newer companies with emerging technologies.
We believe that our patented Out-of-Band two-factor identity authentication product is an innovative, secure, adaptable, competitively priced, integrated network authentication system. The main features of ProtectID® include: an open architecture Out-of-Band platform for user authentication; operating system independence; biometric layering; mobile authentication; secure website logon; VPN access; domain authentication and multi-level authentication. Unlike other techniques for increased network security, ProtectID® does not rely on a specific authentication device or method (e.g., phone, tokens, smart cards, digital certificates or biometrics, such as a retinal or fingerprint scan). Rather ProtectID® has been developed as an open platform that incorporates many authentication devices and methods. For example, once a user has been identified to a computer network, a system deploying our ProtectID® authentication system permits the Out-of-Band authentication of that user by a telephone, iPhone, iPad, Blackberry, PDA, email, hard token, SSL client software, a biometric device such as a fingerprint scan, or others, before that user is permitted to access the network. By using Out-of-Band authentication methods, management believes that ProtectID® provides a competitive product for customers with security requirements greater than typical name and password schemes for virtual private networks and computer systems with multiple users at remote locations, as examples. We also believe that our keystroke encryption product, GuardedID®, offers an additional competitive edge for network security and e-commerce applications that should provide greater levels of security and the ability to evolve over time based on newer technologies made available. Both products have limited competition based on our products ability to protect individual identities and computers/devices.
Although we believe that our suite of products offer competitive advantages, there is no assurance that any of these products will gain acceptance in the marketplace. Our competitors include established software and hardware companies that are likely to be better financed and to have established sales channels. Due to the high level of innovation in the software development industry, it is also possible that a competitor will introduce a product that provides a higher level of security than the ProtectID® products or which can be offered at prices that are more advantageous to the customer.
Employees
As of fiscal year end December 31, 2010, the Company had 7 employees. We believe relations with employees are generally good.
WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION
You are advised to read this Form 10-K in conjunction with other reports and documents that we file from time to time with the SEC. In particular, please read our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K that we file from time to time. You may obtain copies of these reports directly from us or from the SEC at the SECs Public Reference Room at 100 F. Street, N.E. Washington, D.C. 20549, and you may obtain information about obtaining access to the Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. In addition, the SEC maintains information for electronic filers at its website http://www.sec.gov.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider the following risk factors together with the other information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, and in prior reports pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. If any of the risks factors actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected. In such cases, the trading price of our common stock could decline. We believe there are no changes that constitute material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in the prior reports pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and the Securities Act of 1933 and include or reiterate the following risk factors:
WE HAVE A LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY WITH SIGNIFICANT LOSSES AND EXPECT LOSSES TO CONTINUE FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE. SHOULD WE CONTINUE TO INCUR LOSSES FOR A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TIME, THE VALUE OF YOUR INVESTMENT IN OUR COMMON STOCK COULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED, AND YOU COULD EVEN LOSE YOUR ENTIRE INVESTMENT.
We have yet to establish any history of profitable operations as shown in our independent certified financial audit for 2010 and 2009, respectively. As of December 31, 2010, we had an accumulated deficit of $23,034,026. We have incurred annual operating losses of $2,239,081 for the year ended December 31, 2009 and $2,874,462 for the year ended December 31, 2010. We have financed our operations through loans from our officers, employees, and the issuance of debt and equity securities in private placement transactions. Our revenues have not been sufficient to sustain our operations. Our profitability will require the successful marketing and sale of our ProtectID® and GuardedID® products and services.
10
WE WILL NEED TO RAISE ADDITIONAL FUNDS THROUGH THE PUBLIC MARKET, PRIVATE DEBT OR PRIVATE SALES OF EQUITY TO ACHIEVE OUR CURRENT BUSINESS STRATEGY OF COMPLETING AND PROFITING FROM OUR SUITE OF TECHNOLOGY PRODUCTS. OUR NEED TO RAISE ADDITIONAL FUNDS IN THE FUTURE WILL LIKELY INVOLVE THE ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL SHARES OF STOCK, WHICH COULD DILUTE THE VALUE OF YOUR INVESTMENT. THERE IS NO ASSURANCE, HOWEVER, THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO RAISE ADDITIONAL MONIES IN THE FUTURE.
We will require additional financing to sustain our operations, without which we may not be able to continue operations. In addition, the terms of the secured convertible debentures issued to certain investors require that we obtain the consent of such investors prior to our entering into subsequent financing arrangements. Our inability to raise additional working capital or to raise the required financing in a timely manner would negatively impact our ability to fund our operations, our ability to generate revenues and to otherwise execute our business plan. 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. This can lead to the reduction or suspension of our operations and ultimately our going out of business. Should this occur, the value of your investment in the common stock could be adversely affected, and you could lose your entire investment.
WE HAVE ISSUED SECURED CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES THAT MAY RESTRICT OUR ABILITY TO OBTAIN ADDITIONAL FINANCING.
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 Investments, LP (YA Global), formerly Cornell Capital Partners, LP, and Highgate House Funds, Ltd. (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. Specifically, we may not, without the prior consent of the holders of the secured debentures, issue any common stock or preferred stock at a discount to its fair market value or issue any derivative security, such as common stock purchase warrants or options, convertible into common stock at less than fair market value. We are also precluded under the terms of the secured debentures from granting any third party a security interest in our assets. Our inability, without the secured debenture holders consent, to provide a discount on our stock or to grant a security interest could make it difficult to find parties willing to make additional investments in us or to loan us money and therefore could adversely affect our ability to raise additional funds.
SECURED CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES ISSUED TO CITCO GLOBAL CUSTODY, NV (AS ASSIGNED BY YA GLOBAL INVESTMENTS, LP, FORMERLY CORNELL CAPITAL PARTNERS, LP, AND HIGHGATE HOUSE FUNDS, LTD) AND PMI TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (AS ASSIGNED BY YA GLOBAL INVESTMENTS, LP) COULD RESULT IN A CHANGE IN CONTROL.
SUMMARY OF OUR OUTSTANDING SECURED CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES
In December 2010, the balance of the YA Global April 2009 secured convertible debenture, after conversions, of $231,320, the principal balance due of the YA Global May 2006 promissory note of $100,000 and the accrued interest owed on the promissory note of $32,806.15 was assigned to PMI Technologies, Inc. (PMI). The total amount assigned to PMI was $364,126. In connection with this assignment, the Company paid an assignment fee of $200,000, recorded as financing expense, to YA Global in December 2010. As of December 2010, YA Global is no longer a secured lender to StrikeForce.
HISTORY OF OUR OUTSTANDING SECURED CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES
We have issued an aggregate of $1,774,876 in secured convertible debentures, including an aggregate of $1,024,876 principal amount secured debentures issued to YA Global Investments, LP ($427,447 of which were outstanding on March 16, 2009) and an aggregate of $750,000 principal amount secured debentures issued to Highgate House Funds, Ltd. ($244,720 of which were outstanding on March 16, 2009), which are convertible into shares of our common stock at an amount equal to the lesser of: (i) 120% of the average closing bid price for the 5 trading days immediately preceding the closing date (the YA Global Fixed Conversion Price and, together with the Highgate Fixed Conversion Price, the Fixed Conversion Price); or (ii) 80% of the lowest closing bid price of the common stock during the five days preceding the conversion date. In July, 2006, the YA Global and Highgate Fixed Conversion Price was reduced to $0.085 in connection with an anti-dilution adjustment.
11
Although the terms of the secured debentures contain a limitation that precludes conversion when the amount of shares already owned by YA Global Investments, LP and Highgate House Funds, Ltd., plus the amount of shares still outstanding to be converted, would exceed 4.99 percent, the limit may be waived by YA Global Investments, LP on 61 days notice to us and by Highgate House Funds, Ltd on 65 days notice to us. In addition, after the third anniversary (at maturity) of the issuance date of the YA Global Investments, LP debenture and second anniversary (at maturity) of the issuance dates of the Highgate House Funds, Ltd. debentures, any outstanding principal or interest owed on the secured debentures may be continued to be converted, at the option of the Holder, into stock with the same limitation. Depending on the price of our stock, if YA Global Investments, LP waived the 4.99 percent limitation, YA Global Investments, LP or Highgate House Funds, Ltd. could acquire enough shares to establish control of our Company.
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 common stock purchase warrants with an exercise price of $0.15 per share. The common stock purchase warrants are exercisable for a period of five (5) years from date of issuance. The common stock purchase warrants were held in escrow and will only be released to YA Global if the total amount due by the Company was 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 common stock purchase 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.
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 common stock purchase 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.
In April 2009, the YA Global and Highgate secured convertible debentures were extended to December 31, 2010. Per the terms of the extension, the security deposit of $171,671 paid in March 2008 and the extension payment of $22,711 paid in May 2008 were applied to the YA Global debenture resulting in a remaining note balance of $233,065. The balance of the Highgate debenture remained $244,720.
12
In April 2009, the Company executed a secured convertible debenture with YA Global for $277,920, maturing on December 31, 2010. The debenture, which is not interest bearing, represents accrued interest owed on the existing YA Global and Highgate secured convertible debentures through April 23, 2009.
In April 2009, YA Global notified the Company that the April 2005 YA Global and May 2005 Highgate secured convertible debentures, related documents and the subsequent forbearance agreements have been assigned to Citco Global Custody NV (Citco Global) as of April 24, 2009. The Company recorded the assigned debentures as restructuring of troubled debt. The Company recorded the accrued interest on the assigned debentures through the extended due date of December 31, 2010 as a loss on restructured debt in the amounts of $33,893 on the assigned YA Global debenture and $30,911 on the assigned Highgate debenture. On April 24, 2009, the adjusted balance of the assigned debentures was $266,957 (YA Global assignment) and $275,631 (Highgate assignment).
In December 2010, the balance of the YA Global April 2009 secured convertible debenture, after conversions, of $231,320, the principal balance due of the YA Global May 2006 promissory note of $100,000 and the accrued interest owed on the promissory note of $32,806.15 was assigned to PMI Technologies, Inc. (PMI). The total amount assigned to PMI was $364,126. The Company paid an assignment fee of $200,000, recorded as financing expense, to YA Global in December 2010. Therefore, as of December 2010, YA Global is no longer a secured lender to StrikeForce.
In December 2010, the Company executed an amendment to the PMI assignment agreement whereby the secured convertible balance owed to PMI was distributed among five unrelated parties, one of whom was PMI. The due dates of the notes were extended to December 31, 2012 and the conversion price was modified to a fixed price of $0.004551576875 per share. Additionally, the amendment called for the Company to make available to the note holders the opportunity to offer financing to the Company via the sale of a total of 120,000,000 five year warrants exercisable into shares of the Companys common stock at $0.03 per share.
THE CONTINUOUSLY ADJUSTABLE CONVERSION PRICE FEATURE OF OUR SECURED CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES COULD REQUIRE US TO ISSUE A SUBSTANTIALLY GREATER NUMBER OF SHARES, WHICH COULD CAUSE DILUTION TO OUR EXISTING STOCKHOLDERS.
Our obligation to issue a combination of shares or deliver shares through the escrow agent upon conversion of our $542,588 principal amount secured convertible debentures owed to Citco Global is essentially limitless. Citco Global has not processed any conversions as of March 31, 2011. The following is an example of the amount of shares of our common stock that are issuable upon conversion of the Citco secured convertible debentures based on various market prices:
Price Per Share | With 20% Discount | Number of Shares | Percentage of Stock* Issuable |
$0.10 | $0.080 | 6,782,350 | 8.74% |
$0.07 | $0.056 | 9,689,071 | 12.50% |
$0.05 | $0.040 | 13,564,700 | 17.49% |
* Based on 77,538,877 shares of common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2010. As illustrated, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of our secured convertible debentures will increase if the market price of our stock declines, which will cause dilution to our existing stockholders.
THE SALES OF COMMON STOCK BY INVESTORS AFTER DELIVERY OF A CONVERSION NOTICE COULD HAVE A DEPRESSIVE EFFECT ON THE PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK. IN ADDITION, WE DO NOT INTEND TO DISCLOSE THE TIMING OF ANY CONVERSION NOTICES WHICH WE MAY RECEIVE FROM THE INVESTORS AND AS A RESULT, YOU WILL HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF WHEN THE INVESTORS ARE CONVERTING INTO SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK.
While the securities purchase agreements with Citco Global and PMI Technologies, Inc. contain provisions prohibiting them from engaging in short sales, the investors may, nevertheless, engage in the sale of escrowed shares after delivering a conversion notice to us but before actual delivery of the shares. In the event that Citco Global and/or PMI Technologies, Inc. were to engage in any such sales, this may create downward pressure on the price of our common stock and could result in higher levels of volatility. Further, any resulting decline in the price of our stock could result in increased dilution due to the fact that we could be required to issue greater numbers of shares upon receiving future conversion notices. In addition, not only the sale of shares issued upon conversion of secured debentures, but also the mere perception that these sales could occur, may adversely affect the market price of the common stock. In addition, we do not intend to disclose the timing of conversion notices which we may receive from Citco Global and/or PMI Technologies, Inc. As a result, you will have no knowledge of when the investors are converting. Further, you will not know that the investors have shares of our common stock that they may be imminently selling, or that the investors have sold such shares, all of which may have a depressive effect on the price of our common stock.
13
THE ISSUANCE OF SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK UPON CONVERSION OF THE SECURED CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES MAY CAUSE IMMEDIATE AND SUBSTANTIAL DILUTION TO OUR EXISTING STOCKHOLDERS.
The issuance of shares of our common stock upon conversion of the secured convertible debentures may result in substantial dilution to the interests of other stockholders since the selling stockholders may ultimately convert and sell the full amount issuable on conversion. There is no upper limit on the number of shares that may be issued which will have the effect of further diluting the proportionate equity interest and voting power of holders of our common stock, including investors in this offering.
IF WE ARE REQUIRED FOR ANY REASON TO REPAY OUR OUTSTANDING SECURED CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES, WE WOULD BE REQUIRED TO DEPLETE OUR WORKING CAPITAL, IF AVAILABLE, OR RAISE ADDITIONAL FUNDS. OUR FAILURE TO REPAY THE SECURED CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES, IF REQUIRED, COULD RESULT IN LEGAL ACTION AGAINST US, WHICH COULD REQUIRE THE SALE OF SUBSTANTIALLY ALL OF OUR ASSETS, CURRENTLY PLEDGED UNDER A UNIFORM COMMERICAL CODE (UCC) FILING IN THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY.
Any event of default in our obligations to the holders of the secured convertible debentures such as our failure to repay the principal or interest when due, our failure to issue shares of common stock upon conversion by the holder, our failure to timely file a registration statement or have such registration statement declared effective, breach of any covenant, representation or warranty in the securities purchase agreements for such secured convertible debentures or in the secured convertible debentures, the commencement of a bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or liquidation proceeding against us and the delisting of our common stock could require the early repayment of the secured convertible debentures if the default is not cured with the specified grace period. We anticipate that the full amount of the secured convertible debentures, together with accrued interest, will be converted into shares of our common stock, in accordance with the terms of the secured convertible debentures. If we were required to repay the secured convertible debentures, we would be required to use our limited working capital and raise additional funds. If we were unable to repay the secured debentures when required, the debenture holders could commence legal action against us and foreclose on all of our assets to recover the amounts due. Any such actions would require us to severely limit operations or to file for protection under United States Bankruptcy laws.
OUR SECURITY AGREEMENTS WITH CITCO GLOBAL CUSTODY NV AND PMI TECHNOLOGIES, INC CONTAIN NEGATIVE COVENANTS WHICH RESTRICT OUR ABILITY TO CREATE SECURITY INTERESTS, CHANGE MANAGEMENT, DECLARE DIVIDENDS, MAKE LOANS AND INCUR ADDITIONAL INDEBTEDNESS, WITHOUT CITCO GLOBALS AND PMIS PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT. SUCH RESTRICTIONS COULD IMPEDE OUR ABILITY TO OBTAIN ADDITIONAL FUNDING TO FINANCE OUR ONGOING OPERATIONS, WHICH WOULD HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT ON OUR BUSINESS AND THE VALUE OF YOUR INVESTMENT.
In connection with the securities purchase agreements for our secured convertible debentures with both Citco Global Custody NV (as assigned by YA Global Investments, LP, dated December 20, 2004, January 18, 2005 and amended on April 27, 2005 into one debenture with interest to April 27, 2005, and Highgate House Funds Ltd., dated April 27, 2005 and May 6, 2005) and PMI Technologies, Inc. (as assigned by YA Global Investments, LP dated May 1, 2006 and April 23, 2009), we granted both Citco Global and PMI a secured interest in all of our assets. In accordance with such agreement, we may not, without Citco Globals and PMIs written consent, directly or indirectly:
o | permit to exist any assignment, transfer, pledge, mortgage, security interest or other lien or encumbrance in or against any part of the pledged property; |
o | materially change our ownership, executive staff or management, including Mark L. Kay; |
o | declare or pay any dividend of any kind, in cash or in property, on any class of our capital stock, or make any distribution of any kind in respect thereof; |
o | make any loan, advance or extension of credit to any person other than in the normal course of our business; or to create, incur, or assume any additional indebtedness of any description whatsoever in an aggregate amount in excess of $25,000. |
These restrictions could impede our ability to obtain additional funding to finance our ongoing operations, which would have a negative impact on our business and the value of your investment.

THE PATENT APPLICATION FOR THE GUARDEDID® TECHNOLOGY IS PENDING AND THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT THIS APPLICATIONS WILL BE GRANTED. FAILURE TO OBTAIN THE PATENT FOR THE APPLICATION COULD PREVENT US FROM SECURING PAYMENTS IN THE FUTURE. THE PATENT APPLICATION FOR THE PROTECTID® TECHNOLOGY HAS BEEN GRANTED.
The technology developed by the Company and used in the Companys GuardedID® product is the subject of a pending patent application. In November 2010, we received notice that the United States Patent Office has issued an official Notice of Allowance for the patent application for the technology relating to our ProtectID® product, titled "Multi-Channel Device Utilizing a Centralized Out-of-Band Authentication System". In January 2011, we received notice that the United States Patent Office issued the Company Patent No. 7,870,599. Our firewall product, which was in the research and design phase is no longer being developed, therefore the pending provisional patent (acquired from NetLabs.com) application was allowed to expire. A fourth patent application relating to our ProtectID® product was combined into the first ProtectID® patent application and the fourth application was allowed to lapse. To date the GuardedID® patent application has not been granted. We cannot be certain that this patent will be granted nor can we be certain that other companies have not filed for patent protection for this technology. In the event the patent was granted for the GuardedID® technology, there is no assurance that we will be in a position to enforce the patent rights. Failure to be granted patent protection for the technology could result in greater competition or in limited payments. This could result in inadequate revenue and cause us to cease operations.
WE WILL FACE INTENSE COMPETITION FROM COMPETITORS THAT HAVE GREATER FINANCIAL, TECHNICAL AND MARKETING RESOURCES. THESE COMPETITIVE FORCES MAY IMPACT OUR PROJECTED GROWTH AND ABILITY TO GENERATE REVENUES AND PROFITS, WHICH WOULD HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT ON OUR BUSINESS AND THE VALUE OF YOUR INVESTMENT.
We likely will face competition from alternate security software programs and services. As is typical of a new industry, demand and market acceptance for recently introduced services are subject to a high level of uncertainty and risk. In addition, the software industry is characterized by frequent innovation. As the market for computer security products evolves, it will be necessary for us to continually modify and enhance our existing products and develop new products. We believe that our competitors will enhance existing product lines and introduce new products. If we are unable to update our software to compete or to meet announced schedules for improvements and enhancements, it is likely that our sales will suffer and that potential customers will be lost to a competing companys product.
Because the market for our services is new and evolving, it is difficult to predict the future growth rate, if any, and the size of this market. Substantial marketing activities will be required to meet our revenue and profit goals. There can be no assurance we will be successful in such marketing efforts. There can be no assurance either that the market for our services will develop or become sustainable. Further, other companies may decide to provide services similar to ours. These companies may be better capitalized than us and we could face significant competition in pricing and services offered.
IF WE DO NOT ADEQUATELY PROTECT THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, WE MAY EXPERIENCE A LOSS OF REVENUE AND OUR OPERATIONS MAY BE MATERIALLY IMPAIRED.
We rely upon confidentiality agreements signed by our employees, consultants and third parties to protect the intellectual property. We cannot assure that we can adequately protect the intellectual property or successfully prosecute potential infringement of the intellectual property rights. Also, we cannot assure that others will not assert rights in, or ownership of, trademarks and other proprietary rights of ours or that we will be able to successfully resolve these types of conflicts to our satisfaction. Failure to protect the intellectual property rights would result in a loss of revenue and could adversely affect our operations and financial condition. The Company is in discussions with companies that would contract with us to defend and protect our Out-of-Band Patent No. 7,870,599.
15
OUR INABILITY TO RETAIN OUR KEY EXECUTIVE OFFICERS WOULD IMPEDE OUR BUSINESS PLAN AND GROWTH STRATEGIES, WHICH COULD HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT ON OUR BUSINESS AND THE VALUE OF YOUR INVESTMENT.
Our success depends, to a critical extent, on the continued efforts and services of our Chief Executive Officer, Mark L. Kay, our Chief Technical Officer, Ramarao Pemmaraju, our Chief Financial Officer, Philip E. Blocker and our Executive Vice President and Head of Marketing, George Waller. Were we to lose two or more of these key executive officers, we would be forced to expend significant time and money in the pursuit of a replacement, which would result in both a delay in the implementation of our business plan and the diversion of limited working capital. We can give you no assurance that we can find satisfactory replacements for these key executive officers at all, or on terms that are not unduly expensive or burdensome to our Company. Only one of our executive officers (CEO) had an employment agreement providing for his continued service to us, which is now expired. We do not currently carry a key-man life insurance policy on any of our employees, which would assist us in recouping our costs in the event of the loss of those officers.
THE INABILITY TO MANAGE OUR GROWTH COULD IMPEDE OUR ABILITY TO GENERATE REVENUES AND PROFITS AND TO OTHERWISE IMPLEMENT OUR BUSINESS PLAN AND GROWTH STRATEGIES, WHICH WOULD HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT ON OUR BUSINESS AND THE VALUE OF YOUR INVESTMENT.
We plan to grow rapidly, which will place strains on our management team and other Company resources to both implement more sophisticated managerial, operational and financial systems, procedures and controls and to hire, train and manage the personnel necessary to implement those functions. Our staff is currently comprised of 7 people and we believe that in order for us to achieve our goals, it will be necessary to further expand our personnel, particularly in the area of sales, support services, technology development and client support. As we grow, we also expect to increase detailed and pertinent internal and administrative controls and procedures, require further product enhancements and customization of our existing products for specific clients, as well as enter new geographic markets. We do not presently have in place the corporate infrastructure common to larger organizations. We do not, for example, have a separate human resources department or purchasing department designed for a larger organization. Some of our key personnel do not have experience managing large numbers of personnel. Substantial expansion of our organization will require the acquisition of additional information systems and equipment, a larger physical space and formal management of human resources. It will require that we expand the number of people within our organization providing additional administrative support (or consider outsourcing) and to develop and implement additional internal controls appropriate for a larger organization. Our experience to date in managing the minimal growth of our Company has been positive, without product failures or breakdowns of internal controls.
We plan to devote substantial resources to our ProtectID® and GuardedID® products, focusing on our marketing, sales, administrative, operational, financial and other systems to implement our longer-term business plan and growth strategies. We also are growing our distribution and reseller services through our channel strategy. This expansion requires us to significantly improve, replace and or acquire managers, operational and financial systems, procedures and controls, to improve the coordination between our various corporate functions, to manage, train, motivate and maintain a growing employee and marketing base. Our performance and profitability will depend on the ability of our officers and key employees to:
o | manage our business as a cohesive global enterprise; |
o | manage expansion through the timely implementation and maintenance of appropriate administrative, operational, financial and management information systems, controls and procedures; |
o | add internal capacity, facilities and third-party sourcing arrangements when needed; |
o | maintain and continually improve service; |
o | attract, train, retain, motivate and manage effectively our employees. |
The time and costs to effectuate this business development process may place a significant strain on our management personnel, systems and resources, particularly given the limited amount of financial resources and skilled employees that may be available at the time. There can be no assurance that we will integrate and manage successfully new systems, controls and procedures for our business, or that our systems, controls, procedures, facilities and personnel, even if successfully integrated, will be adequate to support our projected future operations. There can be no assurance that any expenditure incurred during this expansion will ever be recouped. Any failure to implement and maintain such changes could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
16
OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS MAY HIGHLY FLUCTUATE FROM QUARTER TO QUARTER AS WE CONTINUE TO GROW. THEREFORE, THESE RESULTS CANNOT BE USED TO PREDICT HOW WE MAY PERFORM IN THE FUTURE.
As a result of our limited operating history, we have limited historical financial data in which to base our planned operating expenses. Our expense levels are expected to increase. It is anticipated that as we mature, our sales and operating results will fluctuate from quarter to quarter and from year to year due to a combination of factors, including, among other things:
o | We Will Incur Large Expenses in Marketing Our Product |
Our products are not widely recognized or distributed in the marketplace and in order to introduce them effectively, we will have to continue to develop and market them aggressively. We will compete in our marketing efforts with other competitors, many of which are well-established. It is likely that in order to compete effectively, we may need to spend more money on marketing our products relative to our sales volume than do the more established companies. These expenses may make it more difficult for us to become a profitable company and reduce our profitability in the short term and are likely to negatively affect our net income.
o | Product Defects or Service Quality Problems Could Affect Our Sales |
Although we consider our principal products ready for commercial production and are actively marketing them to potential customers, we do not have significant experience with the use of our products on a large scale. We have not experienced any product defects that are material to the performance of our products, but there can be no assurance that there will not be product defects in the future. Likewise, we cannot be certain that the security provided by our products cannot be circumvented, now or in the future, although we are unaware of anyone having successfully defeating the technology. Our products are complex and may contain undetected errors or defects or may contain errors or defects in new versions that we attempt to release. Errors and defects that occur in the future could result in adverse product reviews and a loss of, or delay in, market acceptance of our products. We have, however, received a number of independent endorsements of GuardedID® and ProtectID® from recognized, well known third party security product lab testers and reviewers (PCMagazine.com for GuardedID® and SCMagazineUS.com for ProtectID®).
OUR COMMON STOCK IS SUBJECT TO PENNY STOCK REGULATION
Our shares are subject to the provisions of Section 15(g) and Rule 15g-9 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), commonly referred to as the "penny stock" rule. Section 15(g) sets forth certain requirements for transactions in penny stocks and Rule 15g-9(d)(1) incorporates the definition of penny stock as that used in Rule 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act. The Commission generally defines penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Rule 3a51-1 provides that any equity security is considered to be penny stock unless that security is: registered and traded on a national securities exchange meeting specified criteria set by the Commission; authorized for quotation on the NASDAQ Stock Market; issued by a registered investment company; excluded from the definition on the basis of price (at least $5.00 per share) or the registrant's net tangible assets; or exempted from the definition by the Commission. Since our shares are deemed to be "penny stock", trading in the shares will be subject to additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell penny stock to persons other than established customers and accredited investors.
FINRA SALES PRACTICE REQUIREMENTS MAY ALSO LIMIT A STOCKHOLDER'S ABILITY TO BUY AND SELL OUR STOCK.
In addition to the penny stock rules described above, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.
17
BECAUSE WE ARE QUOTED ON THE OTCBB INSTEAD OF AN EXCHANGE OR NATIONAL QUOTATION SYSTEM, OUR INVESTORS MAY HAVE A TOUGHER TIME SELLING THEIR STOCK OR EXPERIENCE NEGATIVE VOLATILITY ON THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR STOCK.
Our common stock is traded on the OTCBB. The OTCBB is often highly illiquid. There is a greater chance of volatility for securities that trade on the OTCBB as compared to a national exchange or quotation system. This volatility may be caused by a variety of factors, including the lack of readily available price quotations, the absence of consistent administrative supervision of bid and ask quotations, lower trading volume, and market conditions. Investors in our common stock may experience high fluctuations in the market price and volume of the trading market for our securities. These fluctuations, when they occur, have a negative effect on the market price for our securities. Accordingly, our stockholders may not be able to realize a fair price from their shares when they determine to sell them or may have to hold them for a substantial period of time until the market for our common stock improves.
FAILURE TO ACHIEVE AND MAINTAIN EFFECTIVE INTERNAL CONTROLS IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 404 OF THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS AND OPERATING RESULTS.
It may be time consuming, difficult and costly for us to develop and implement the additional internal controls, processes and reporting procedures required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We may need to hire additional financial reporting, internal auditing and other finance staff in order to develop and implement appropriate additional internal controls, processes and reporting procedures. If we are unable to comply with these requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, we may not be able to obtain the independent accountant certifications that the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires of publicly traded companies.
If we fail to comply in a timely manner with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act regarding internal control over financial reporting or to remedy any material weaknesses in our internal controls that we may identify, such failure could result in material misstatements in our financial statements, cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and have a negative effect on the trading price of our common stock.
Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and current SEC regulations, we are required to prepare assessments regarding internal controls over financial reporting and, furnish a report by our management on our internal control over financial reporting. We have begun the process of documenting and testing our internal control procedures in order to satisfy these requirements, which is likely to result in increased general and administrative expenses and may shift management time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. While our management is expending significant resources in an effort to complete this important project, there can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve our objective on a timely basis. Failure to achieve and maintain an effective internal control environment or complete our Section 404 certifications could have a material adverse effect on our stock price.
In addition, in connection with our on-going assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, we may discover material weaknesses in our internal controls as defined in standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or the PCAOB. A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. The PCAOB defines significant deficiency as a deficiency that results in more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected.
In the event that a material weakness is identified, we will employ qualified personnel and adopt and implement policies and procedures to address any material weaknesses that we identify. However, the process of designing and implementing effective internal controls is a continuous effort that requires us to anticipate and react to changes in our business and the economic and regulatory environments and to expend significant resources to maintain a system of internal controls that is adequate to satisfy our reporting obligations as a public company. We cannot assure you that the measures we will take will remediate any material weaknesses that we may identify or that we will implement and maintain adequate controls over our financial process and reporting in the future.
Any failure to complete our assessment of our internal control over financial reporting, to remediate any material weaknesses that we may identify or to implement new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm our operating results, cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations or result in material misstatements in our financial statements. Any such failure could also adversely affect the results of the periodic management evaluations of our internal controls and, in the case of a failure to remediate any material weaknesses that we may identify, would adversely affect the annual auditor attestation reports regarding the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting that are required under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Inadequate internal controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our common stock.

WE DO NOT INTEND TO PAY DIVIDENDS
We do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We may not have sufficient funds to legally pay dividends. Even if funds are legally available to pay dividends, we may nevertheless decide in our sole discretion not to pay dividends. The declaration, payment and amount of any future dividends will be made at the discretion of the board of directors, and will depend upon, among other things, the results of our operations, cash flows and financial condition, operating and capital requirements, and other factors our board of directors may consider relevant. There is no assurance that we will pay any dividends in the future, and, if dividends are rapid, there is no assurance with respect to the amount of any such dividend.
OPERATING HISTORY AND LACK OF PROFITS COULD LEAD TO WIDE FLUCTUATIONS IN OUR SHARE PRICE. THE PRICE AT WHICH YOU PURCHASE OUR COMMON SHARES MAY NOT BE INDICATIVE OF THE PRICE THAT WILL PREVAIL IN THE TRADING MARKET. YOU MAY BE UNABLE TO SELL YOUR COMMON SHARES AT OR ABOVE YOUR PURCHASE PRICE, WHICH MAY RESULT IN SUBSTANTIAL LOSSES TO YOU. THE MARKET PRICE FOR OUR COMMON SHARES IS PARTICULARLY VOLATILE GIVEN OUR STATUS AS A RELATIVELY UNKNOWN COMPANY WITH A SMALL AND THINLY TRADED PUBLIC FLOAT.
The market for our common shares is characterized by significant price volatility when compared to seasoned issuers, and we expect that our share price will continue to be more volatile than a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future. The volatility in our share price is attributable to a number of factors. First, as noted above, our common shares are sporadically and thinly traded. As a consequence of this lack of liquidity, the trading of relatively small quantities of shares by our shareholders may disproportionately influence the price of those shares in either direction. The price for our shares could, for example, decline precipitously in the event that a large number of our common shares are sold on the market without commensurate demand, as compared to a seasoned issuer which could better absorb those sales without adverse impact on its share price. Secondly, we are a speculative or risky investment due to our limited operating history and lack of profits to date, and uncertainty of future market acceptance for our potential products. As a consequence of this enhanced risk, more risk-adverse investors may, under the fear of losing all or most of their investment in the event of negative news or lack of progress, be more inclined to sell their shares on the market more quickly and at greater discounts than would be the case with the stock of a seasoned issuer. Many of these factors are beyond our control and may decrease the market price of our common shares, regardless of our operating performance. We cannot make any predictions or projections as to what the prevailing market price for our common shares will be at any time, including as to whether our common shares will sustain their current market prices, or as to what effect that the sale of shares or the availability of common shares for sale at any time will have on the prevailing market price.
Shareholders should be aware that, according to SEC Release No. 34-29093, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (1) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (2) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (3) boiler room practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (4) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differential and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (5) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequent investor losses. Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities. The occurrence of these patterns or practices could increase the volatility of our share price.
VOLATILITY IN OUR COMMON SHARE PRICE MAY SUBJECT US TO SECURITIES LITIGATION, THEREBY DIVERTING OUR RESOURCES THAT MAY HAVE A MATERIAL EFFECT ON OUR PROFITABILITY AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
As discussed in the preceding risk factors, the market for our common shares is characterized by significant price volatility when compared to seasoned issuers, and we expect that our share price will continue to be more volatile than a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future. In the past, plaintiffs have often initiated securities class action litigation against a company following periods of volatility in the market price of its securities. We may in the future be the target of similar litigation. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and liabilities and could divert managements attention and resources.
19
IF WE ARE UNABLE TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN, INVESTORS MAY FACE A COMPLETE LOSS OF THEIR INVESTMENT.
The independent auditors report on our financial statements contains explanatory language that substantial doubt exists about our ability to continue as a going concern. The report states that we depend on the continued contributions of our executive officers to work effectively as a team, to execute our business strategy and to manage our business. The loss of key personnel, or their failure to work effectively, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. If we are unable to obtain sufficient financing in the near term or achieve profitability, then we would, in all likelihood, experience severe liquidity problems and may have to curtail our operations. If we curtail our operations, we may be placed into bankruptcy or undergo liquidation, the result of which will adversely affect the value of our common shares.
COMPLIANCE WITH CHANGING REGULATION OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND PUBLIC DISCLOSURE WILL RESULT IN ADDITIONAL EXPENSES AND POSE CHALLENGES FOR OUR MANAGEMENT TEAM.
Changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, including the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and SEC regulations, have created uncertainty for public companies and significantly increased the costs and risks associated with accessing the U.S. public markets. Our management team will need to devote significant time and financial resources to comply with both existing and evolving standards for public companies, which will lead to increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention from revenue generating activities to compliance activities.
SHOULD ONE OR MORE OF THE FOREGOING RISKS OR UNCERTAINTIES MATERIALIZE, OR SHOULD THE UNDERLYING ASSUMPTIONS PROVE INCORRECT, ACTUAL RESULTS MAY DIFFER SIGNIFICANTLY FROM THOSE ANTICIPATED, BELIEVED, ESTIMATED, EXPECTED, INTENDED OR PLANNED.
Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This annual report contains forward-looking statements about our business, financial condition and prospects that reflect our managements assumptions and good faith beliefs based on information currently available. We can give no assurance that the expectations indicated by such forward-looking statements will be realized. If any of our assumptions should prove incorrect, or if any of the risks and uncertainties underlying such expectations should materialize, our actual results may differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements.
The key factors that are not within our control and that may have a direct bearing on operating results include, but are not limited to, acceptance of our proposed services and the products we expect to market, our ability to establish a customer base, managements ability to raise capital in the future, the retention of key employees and changes in the regulation of our industry.
There may be other risks and circumstances that management may be unable to predict. When used in this filing, words such as, believes, expects, intends, plans, anticipates, estimates and similar expressions are intended to identify and qualify forward-looking statements, although there may be certain forward-looking statements not accompanied by such expressions.

ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS
This Item is not applicable to us as we are not an accelerated filer, a large accelerated filer, or a well-seasoned issuer; however, we have not received written comments from the Commission staff regarding our periodic or current reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 within the last 180 days before the end of our last fiscal year.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
We operate from leased offices located at 1090 King Georges Post Road, Suite #603, Edison, New Jersey 08837. We do not hold any material investments in other real or personal property other than office equipment. We anticipate these facilities will be adequate for the immediate future but that if we are successful in introducing our products, we will need to seek larger or additional office quarters. In June 2009, we executed a lease amendment with our landlord. Per the terms of the amendment, we agreed to move our headquarters to an alternate location in our landlords office park. We vacated Suite #108 and moved to Suite #603 on June 30, 2009. Per the terms of the amendment, we shall pay a monthly base rent of $3,807 which commenced on July 1, 2009 through the lease termination date of January 31, 2013. The lease does not contain a renewal option and requires us to pay costs such as maintenance and insurance.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is not currently a party to, nor is any of its property currently the subject of, any material legal proceeding. None of the Companys directors, officers or affiliates is involved in a proceeding adverse to the Companys business or has a material interest adverse to the Companys business, except as follows:
In August 2010, a summons was filed in the Superior Court of the State of New Jersey against the Company alleging the Companys failure to comply with a written agreement with a consultant, specifically, failure to remit payment for services rendered in the amount of $3,000. In October 2010, the Company and the consultant reached a settlement agreement whereby the Company remitted $1,500 to the consultant. Future payments to the consultant by the Company would be in the form of shares of the Companys common stock. As of November 2010, the $1,500 payment made to the consultant remained outstanding. The Companys attempts to reach the consultant have been unsuccessful.

PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANTS COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES.
(A) MARKET INFORMATION
The Companys Small Business registration statement on Form SB-2 was declared effective by the SEC in August 2005 and the Companys shares were approved for listing on the OTC Bulletin Board by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (NASD now referred to as the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA)) in December 2005. Prior to December 2005, there was no public market for the common stock. The Companys common stock is quoted on the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board maintained by the NASD under the symbol SFOR.OB (prior to November 3, 2008 the symbol was SKFT.OB). It has been traded in the over-the-counter market on a limited basis. The following sets forth high and low bid price quotations for each calendar quarter during the last fiscal years that trading occurred or quotations were available. Such quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission and may not represent actual transactions.
Quarter Ended: | Low: | High: |
December 31, 2009 | $0.025 | $0.140 |
March 31, 2010 | $0.015 | $0.080 |
June 30, 2010 | $0.006 | $0.100 |
September, 2010 | $0.002 | $0.009 |
December 31, 2010 | $0.002 | $0.070 |
The closing bid price for our shares of common stock on March 31, 2011 was $0.03.
Our common stock is considered a low priced security under the Penny Stock rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Under these rules, broker-dealers participating in transactions in these securities must first deliver a risk disclosure document which describes risks associated with these stocks, broker-dealers duties, customers rights and remedies, market and other information, and make suitability determinations approving the customers for these stock transactions based on financial situation, investment experience and objectives. Broker-dealers must also disclose these restrictions in writing, provide monthly account statements to customers, and obtain specific written consent of each customer. With these restrictions, the likely effect of designation as a low priced stock is to decrease the willingness of broker-dealers to make a market for the stock, to decrease the liquidity of the stock and increase the transaction cost of sales and purchases of these stocks compared to other securities.
(B) HOLDERS
As of March 31, 2011, there were approximately 375 holders of the common stock on record (several holders of record are brokerage firms, which handle accounts for individual investors).
(C) DIVIDENDS
We have not previously paid any cash dividends on common stock and do not anticipate or contemplate paying dividends on common stock in the foreseeable future. Our present intention is to utilize all available funds to develop and expand our business. The only restrictions that limit the ability to pay dividends on common equity, or that are likely to do so in the future, are those restrictions imposed by law and those restrictions imposed under contractual obligation. Under Wyoming corporate law, no dividends or other distributions may be made which would render a company insolvent or reduce assets to less than the sum of liabilities plus the amount needed to satisfy outstanding liquidation preferences.
Any future determination to pay cash dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors, and will be dependent upon our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and other factors as our board may deem relevant at that time.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Forward-Looking Statements
The information in this Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. This Act provides a safe harbor" for forward-looking statements to encourage companies to provide prospective information about themselves so long as they identify these statements as forward looking and provide meaningful cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ from the projected results. All statements other than statements of historical fact made in this report are forward looking. In particular, the statements herein regarding industry prospects and future results of operations or financial position are forward looking statements. Forward-looking statements reflect management's current expectations and are inherently uncertain. Our actual results may differ significantly from management's expectations.
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. 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. We formally memorialized by an agreement in September 2003 in which we acquired certain intellectual property rights and patent pending technology from NetLabs.com including the rights to further develop and sell their principal technology. In addition, certain officers of NetLabs.com joined our company as officers and directors of our company. We subsequently changed our name to StrikeForce Technologies, Inc., under which we have conducted our business since August 2003. Our strategy is to develop and market our suite of network security products to the corporate, financial, government, insurance, e-commerce and consumer sectors. We plan to grow our business primarily through internally generated sales, rather than by acquisitions. We have no subsidiaries and we conduct our operations from our corporate office in Edison, New Jersey.
We own 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. We have developed a suite of products partly based upon this exclusive license that is targeted to the financial services, e-commerce, corporate, government, healthcare and consumer sectors. We are a development stage business and have had nominal revenues since our formation. On August 3, 2005, our registration statement on Form SB-2 was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) and on December 14, 2005, we received our clearance for quotation on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board. On November 2 2006, we filed a Post-Effective Amendment to our Form SB-2 Registration Statement with the SEC. The SEC declared our 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. From the time we started our operations through the first half of 2003, we derived the majority of our revenues as an integrator. 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, we have developed various identification protection software products to protect computer networks from unauthorized access and to protect network owners and users from identity theft. In November 2010, we received notice that the United States Patent Office has issued an official Notice of Allowance for the patent application for our technology, titled "Multi-Channel Device Utilizing a Centralized Out-of-Band Authentication System".
25
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, with continuous enhancements, 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 internationally), direct sales calls initiated by our internal staff, exhibitions at security and technology trade shows, through the media, through 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 our company with one-time, monthly, quarterly and yearly recurring revenues. We are also generating revenues from annual maintenance contracts, renewal fees and expect 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 2010 and 2009 revenues of $265,990 and $411,737, respectively, from the sales of our security products. 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 internationally. Our GuardedID® product is also being sold directly to consumers, through the Internet and through distributors, resellers, third party agents and potential OEM agreements by bundling GuardedID® with their products (providing a value-add to their own products and offerings).
We have incurred substantial losses since our inception. Our management believes that our products provide a cost-effective and technologically competitive solution to address the problems of network security and identity theft in general, especially as a result of the new draft of the FFIEC regulation that recommends two-factor and Out-of-Band authentication and solutions to stop keylogging in real time. 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.
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, internationally. 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, , healthcare, 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 are now experiencing a 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 have minimized the concentration on our initial direct sales efforts as our distribution and reseller channels continue to grow internationally.
We intend to generate revenue through fees for ProtectID® based on consumer volumes of usage in the e-commerce and financial services markets in our Cloud Service, one time per person fees in the enterprise markets which often are for local installations of our product, set-up and recurring transaction fees when the product is accessed in our Cloud Service, yearly maintenance fees and other one-time fees. We also intend to generate revenues through sales of our GuardedID® product. 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 ProtectID® software internally by licensing or through our Cloud Service. GuardedID® requires a download on each and every computer it protects, whether for employees or consumers. We have three GuardedID® products, (i) standard which protects browser data entry only, (ii) a premium version which protects almost all the applications running under Microsoft Windows on a computer including Microsoft Office Suite and (iii) an Enterprise version which provides the Enterprise administrative rights to the products deployment.

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, along with the 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.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2010 COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2009
Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2010 were $265,990 compared to $411,737 for the year ended December 31, 2009, a decrease of $145,747 or 35.4%. The decrease in revenues was primarily due to the decrease in sales of our software products and by the phasing out of our ValidateID® product offering, in order to provide increased focus on our GuardedID® keystroke encryption product.
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 year ended December 31, 2010 were $6,570 compared to $1,893 for the year ended December 31, 2009, an increase of $4,677. The increase in hardware revenues was primarily due to the increase in our sales of our one-time-password token key-fobs. Software, services and maintenance sales for the year ended December 31, 2010 were $229,015 compared to $267,149 for the year ended December 31, 2009, a decrease of $38,134. The decrease in software, services and maintenance revenues was primarily due to the decrease in our sales of our GuardedID® keyboard encryption (anti-keylogger) technology and our ProtectID® (Out-of-Band) technology. Sign on fees for access to our hosted service provider to utilize our ASP transaction model amounted to $2,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to $4,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009, a decrease of $2,000. The decrease was caused by the phasing out of our ValidateID® product offering, in order to provide greater focus on our GuardedID® keystroke encryption product. Transaction revenues from the ASP hosting model were $28,405 for the year ended December 31, 2010 and $138,695 for the year ended December 31, 2009, a decrease of $110,290. The decrease was caused by the phasing out of our ValidateID® product offering, in order to provide greater focus on our GuardedID® keystroke encryption product.
Cost of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $39,217 compared to $89,412 for the year ended December 31, 2009, a decrease of $50,195, or 56.1%. The decrease resulted primarily from reduced support costs from the phasing out of our ValidateID® product offering. Cost of revenues as a percentage of total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2010 was 14.7% compared to 21.7% for the year ended December 31, 2009. The decrease reflects lower support costs for GuardedID® vs. ValidateID®.
Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $226,773 compared to $322,325 for the year ended December 31, 2009, a decrease of $95,552, or 29.6%. The decrease in gross profit was primarily due to the decrease in sales of our software products caused by the phasing out of our ValidateID® product offering, in order to provide greater focus on our GuardedID® keystroke encryption product.
Research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2010 were $400,467 compared to $418,547 for the year ended December 31, 2009, a decrease of $18,080, or 4.3%. The decrease is primarily attributable to the decrease in engineering resources relating to our GuardedID® keyboard encryption and anti-keylogger technology which is now in full production and to attrition. 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 (SGA) expenses for the year ended December 31, 2010 were $1,069,522 compared to $1,789,765 for the year ended December 31, 2009, a decrease of $720,243 or 40.2%. The net decrease was due primarily to attrition and decreases in professional fees and rent expense. 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 year ended December 31, 2010 was $1,629,166 as compared to $600,386 for the year ended December 31, 2009, representing an increase in other expense of $1,028,780, or 171%. The increase was primarily due to the impairment of deferred royalties that we recorded in the second quarter of 2010.
27
Our net loss for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $2,874,462 compared to a net loss of $2,239,081 for the year ended December 31, 2009, an increase of $635,381, or 28.4%. The increase in our net loss was due to the impairment of deferred royalties that we recorded in the quarter ended June 30, 2010 and to the decrease in sales of our software products caused by the phasing out of our ValidateID® product offering, in order to provide greater focus on our GuardedID® keystroke encryption product.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our total current assets at December 31, 2010 were $80,535, including $45,925 in cash as compared with $457,325 in total current assets at December 31, 2009, which included cash of $67,821. Additionally, we had a stockholders deficiency in the amount of $10,352,468 at December 31, 2010 as compared to a stockholders deficiency of $8,112,183 at December 31, 2009. The increase in the deficiency is a result of our 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 recurring 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 $424,671, which will only be realized on the conversion of the derivatives, or settlement of the debentures.
We financed our operations during the year ended December 31, 2010 through debt and equity financing, recurring revenues from our ProtectID® and ValidateID® hosting platforms and sales of our GuardedID® keystroke encryption technology. Management anticipates that we will continue to rely on debt and equity financing, at least in the near future, to finance our operations. While there will be a substantial percentage of our sales from our GuardedID® product, there are a limited number of customers for our other products revenues and will therefore continue to have customer concentrations. Inherently, as time progresses and corporate exposure in the market grows, management believes, but cannot guarantee, we will attain greater numbers of customers and the concentrations would then diminish. Until this is accomplished, management will continue to attempt to secure additional financing through both the public and private market sectors to meet our continuing commitments of capital expenditures and until our sales revenue can provide greater liquidity.
The number of common shares outstanding increased from 24,194,999 shares at the year ended December 31, 2009 to 77,538,877 at the year ended December 31, 2010, an increase of 221%. The increase in the number of common shares outstanding was primarily due to the common shares sold for cash and the common shares issued related to financing in 2010.
We have historically incurred losses and we anticipate, but cannot guarantee, that we will not generate any significant revenues until the third quarter of 2011. Our operations presently require funding of approximately $85,000 per month. Management believes, but cannot provide assurances, that we will be cash flow positive by the end of 2011, based on recently executed contracts and potential contracts we anticipate closing throughout 2011 in the financial industry, technology, insurance, enterprise, healthcare, government, and consumer sectors in the United States, Latin America, Europe and Asia. There can be no assurance, however, that the sales anticipated will materialize or that we will achieve the profitability we have forecasted.
At December 31, 2010, $542,588 in aggregate principal amount of the Citco Global Custody NV (Citco Global) debentures, as assigned by YA Global and Highgate in April 2009 (see below), were issued and outstanding.
At December 31, 2010, $364,126 in aggregate principal amount of the PMI Technologies, Inc. (PMI) debentures remained outstanding.
Prior to the maturity date of both convertible secured promissory notes, we notified Citco Global that we are currently evaluating available maturity options regarding the convertible notes.
28
In January 2008, we 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 us 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, we issued to YA Global 500,000 contingency common stock purchase warrants with an exercise price of $0.15 per share. The common stock purchase warrants are exercisable for a period of five (5) years from date of issuance. The common stock purchase warrants are held in escrow and would only be released to YA Global if the total amount due by our company was 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 common stock purchase 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 of $1,042,421.84 is paid in full by May 15, 2008. Otherwise, the security deposit will be applied to YA Global as liquidated damages.
In May 2008, we 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, we 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 common stock purchase 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.
In April 2009, the YA Global and Highgate secured convertible debentures were extended to December 31, 2010. Per the terms of the extension, the security deposit of $171,671 paid in March 2008 and the extension payment of $22,711 paid in May 2008 were applied to the YA Global debenture resulting in a remaining note balance of $233,065. The balance of the Highgate debenture remained $244,720.
In April 2009, we executed a secured convertible debenture with YA Global for $277,920, maturing on December 31, 2010. The debenture, which is not interest bearing, represents accrued interest owed on the existing YA Global and Highgate secured convertible debentures through April 23, 2009.
29
In April 2009, YA Global notified us that the April 2005 YA Global and May 2005 Highgate secured convertible debentures, related documents and the subsequent forbearance agreements have been assigned to Citco Global Custody NV as of April 24, 2009. Management recorded the assigned debentures as restructuring of troubled debt. Management recorded the accrued interest on the assigned debentures through the extended due date of December 31, 2010 as a loss on restructured debt in the amounts of $33,893 on the assigned YA Global debenture and $30,911 on the assigned Highgate debenture. On April 24, 2009, the adjusted balance of the assigned debentures was $266,957 (YA Global assignment) and $275,631 (Highgate assignment).
In December 2010, the balance of the YA Global April 2009 secured convertible debenture, after conversions, of $231,320, the principal balance due of the YA Global May 2006 promissory note of $100,000 and the accrues interest owed on the promissory note of $32,806.15 was assigned to PMI Technologies, Inc. (PMI). The total amount assigned to PMI was $364,126. The Company paid an assignment fee of $200,000, recorded as financing expense, to YA Global in December 2010.
In December 2010, the Company executed an amendment to the PMI assignment agreement whereby the secured convertible balance owed to PMI was distributed among five unrelated parties, one of whom was PMI. The due dates of the notes were extended to December 31, 2012 and the conversion price was modified to a fixed price of $0.004551576875 per share. Additionally, the amendment called for the Company to make available to the note holders the opportunity to offer financing to the Company via the sale of a total of 120,000,000 five year warrants exercisable into shares of the Companys common stock at $0.03 per share.
We issued unsecured convertible notes during the year ended December 31, 2010 in an aggregate total of $50,000 to two unrelated parties. Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2010, we repaid a total of $39,900 of unsecured convertible notes to one unrelated party per the terms of a settlement agreement reached with the note holder. The remaining note balance of $40,100 was forgiven. Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2010, a note holder of a $100,000 convertible note, executed in July 2008, rolled the convertible note balance and accrued interest owed into a purchase of nine units with each unit consisting of a 10% promissory note of $25,000 and 82,000 shares of our common stock, valued at $0.06.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, YA Global converted $46,600 of the April 23, 2009 debenture into 18,819,760 shares of our common stock, pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement. The conversions were made on March 1, 2010 at a conversion price of $0.0256 per share, on July 7, 2010 at a conversion price of $0.0036 per share, on July 28, 2010 at a conversion price of $0.002104 per share, on August 26, 2010 at a conversion price of $0.002152 per share, on September 13, 2010 at a conversion price of $0.0024 per share, on September 24, 2010 at a conversion price of $0.002152 per share, on October 12, 2010 at a conversion price of $0.0024 per share for 1,500,000 shares, on October 19, 2010 at a conversion price of $0.002104 per share for 1,568,441 shares, on October 29, 2010 at a conversion price of $0.0016 per share for 1,625,000 shares, on November 8, 2010 at a conversion price of $0.001304 per share for 3,374,233 shares, on November 9, 2010 at a conversion price of $0.001448 per share for 1,864,641 shares and on November 30, 2010 at a conversion price of $0.002 per share for 1,950,000 shares.

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 common stock and the issuance of notes and debentures, including notes and debentures convertible into common stock. 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 Citco Global (as assigned by YA Global and Highgate) and PMI (as assigned by YA Global), there are no material or known trends that will restrict either short term or long-term liquidity.
31
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
The Report Of Our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm Contains Explanatory Language That Substantial Doubt Exists About Our Ability To Continue As A Going Concern
The independent auditors report on our financial statements contains explanatory language that substantial doubt exists about our ability to continue as a going concern. The report states that we depend on the continued contributions of our executive officers to work effectively as a team, to execute our business strategy and to manage our business. The loss of key personnel, or their failure to work effectively, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. If we are unable to obtain sufficient financing in the near term or achieve profitability, then we would, in all likelihood, experience severe liquidity problems and may have to curtail our operations. If we curtail our operations, we may be placed into bankruptcy or undergo liquidation, the result of which will adversely affect the value of our common shares.
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 incurred net operating losses of $2,874,462 for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to a net operating loss of $2,239,081 for the year ended December 31, 2009. At December 31, 2010, the Company's accumulated deficit was $23,034,026, its working capital deficiency was $8,796,963. Additionally, for the year ended December 31, 2010, we had negative cash flows from operating activities of $559,044. 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 Investments, LP and Highgate House Funds, Ltd., respectively. In April 2009, YA Global notified the Company that the April 2005 YA Global and May 2005 Highgate secured convertible debentures, related documents and the subsequent forbearance agreements have been assigned to Citco Global Custody NV as of April 24, 2009. Additionally, we have issued a two-year secured debenture in 2009 that is convertible into shares of our common stock to YA Global. 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. In December 2010, the balance of the YA Global April 2009 secured convertible debenture, after conversions, of $231,320, the principal balance due of the YA Global May 2006 promissory note of $100,000 and the accrues interest owed on the promissory note of $32,806.15 was assigned to PMI. The total amount assigned to PMI was $364,126.
Currently, management is attempting to generate sufficient revenues and improve gross margins by a revised sales strategy that was implemented in the second quarter of 2009. In principle, the Company is redirecting its sales focus from direct sales to domestic and international channel sales, where our 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, management is seeking to locate the additional funding necessary to continue to expand and enhance its growth; however, no assurance can be given that we will be able to increase revenues or raise additional capital. We expect to increase our customer base and realize increased revenues from recently signed contracts. We also expect to receive additional financing. Therefore we are assuming that we will continue as a going concern.
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.

Critical Accounting Policies
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 these 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
We have 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 paragraph 815-15-25-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. 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 paragraph 815-15-25-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification 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. We also recorded the resulting discount on debt related to the common stock purchase 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.
Our management evaluates our convertible debt, options, common stock purchase warrants or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for under paragraph 815-15-25-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification and paragraph 815-40-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. 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 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 codification 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 as derivatives to be separately accounted for under paragraph 815-15-25-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification and paragraph 815-40-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.
We have identified the Citco Global debentures, assigned from YA Global and Highgate 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 paragraph 815-15-25-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification and paragraph 815-40-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The codification requires that when multiple derivatives exist within the Convertible Notes, they have been bundled together as a single hybrid compound instrument. The YA Global April 2009 debenture that was assigned to PMI in December 2010 no longer contains compound embedded derivatives.
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 our companys Statement of Operations as Net change in fair value of derivative liabilities. We have 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 our companys common stock, as well as other factors. As a result, our financial statements may fluctuate from quarter-to-quarter based on factors, such as the price of our common stock at the balance sheet date and the amount of shares converted by Citco Global. 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
Paragraph 985-20-25-3 of FASB Accounting Standards Codification 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.
Revenue Recognition
Our management applies paragraph 605-10-S99-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for revenue recognition. We recognize revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. Our management considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the product has been shipped or the services have been rendered to the customer, (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) 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. All costs of these obligations are accrued when the corresponding revenue is recognized. 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 we have 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 or the software is downloaded via email delivery or an FTP web site. 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 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 receipt of cash. Revenue from monthly software licenses is recognized on a subscription basis.
ASP Hosted Cloud Services We offer an Application Service Provider Cloud 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 our company and the customer. Initial set-up fees are recognized over the period in which the services are performed. We are receiving strong interest and requests for pilot agreements for this service as Cloud Services are becoming strategic solutions for many enterprises.
Fixed price service contracts - Revenue from fixed price service contracts is recognized over the term of the contract 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 each service is 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.
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 lives are shorter than originally estimated. We assess the recoverability of our assets by comparing the projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their remaining useful 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, whichever is more reliably measurable. 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.
35
Stock Based Transactions
We have concluded various transactions where we paid the consideration in shares of our common stock and/or common stock purchase 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 our 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 common stock purchase 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 common stock purchase warrants:
- strike price (the price to be paid for a share of our stock);
- price of our stock on the day options or common stock purchase warrants are granted;
- number of days that the options or common stock purchase warrants can be exercised before they expire;
- trading volatility of our stock; and
- annual interest rate on the day the option or common stock purchase 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
In January 2010, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements, which provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10 that requires new disclosures as follows:
1.
Transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2. A reporting entity should disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers.
2.
Activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. In the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), a reporting entity should present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements (that is, on a gross basis rather than as one net number).
This Update provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10 that clarify existing disclosures as follows:
1.
Level of disaggregation. A reporting entity should provide fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities. A class is often a subset of assets or liabilities within a line item in the statement of financial position. A reporting entity needs to use judgment in determining the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities.
2.
Disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques. A reporting entity should provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. Those disclosures are required for fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3.
36
This Update also includes conforming amendments to the guidance on employers' disclosures about postretirement benefit plan assets (Subtopic 715-20). The conforming amendments to Subtopic 715-20 change the terminology from major categories of assets to classes of assets and provide a cross reference to the guidance in Subtopic 820-10 on how to determine appropriate classes to present fair value disclosures. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years.
In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-13, CompensationStock Compensation (Topic 718): Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades (ASU 2010-13). This update provides amendments to Topic 718 to clarify that an employee share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the entitys equity securities trades should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition. Therefore, an entity would not classify such an award as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity. The amendments in ASU 2010-13 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010.
In August 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-21, Accounting for Technical Amendments to Various SEC Rules and Schedules: Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Release No. 33-9026: Technical Amendments to Rules, Forms, Schedules and Codification of Financial Reporting Policies (ASU 2010-21), was issued to conform the SECs reporting requirements to the terminology and provisions in ASC 805, Business Combinations, and in ASC 810-10, Consolidation. ASU No. 2010-21 was issued to reflect SEC Release No. 33-9026, Technical Amendments to Rules, Forms, Schedules and Codification of Financial Reporting Policies, which was effective April 23, 2009. The ASU also proposes additions or modifications to the XBRL taxonomy as a result of the amendments in the update.
In August 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-22, Accounting for Various Topics: Technical Corrections to SEC Paragraphs (ASU 2010-22), which amends various SEC paragraphs based on external comments received and the issuance of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 112, which amends or rescinds portions of certain SAB topics. The topics affected include reporting of inventories in condensed financial statements for Form 10-Q, debt issue costs in conjunction with a business combination, sales of stock by subsidiary, gain recognition on sales of business, business combinations prior to an initial public offering, loss contingent and liability assumed in business combination, divestitures, and oil and gas exchange offers.
In December 2010, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-28 IntangiblesGoodwill and Other (Topic 350): When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts (ASU 2010-28).Under ASU 2010-28, if the carrying amount of a reporting unit is zero or negative, an entity must assess whether it is more likely than not that goodwill impairment exists. To make that determination, an entity should consider whether there are adverse qualitative factors that could impact the amount of goodwill, including those listed in ASC 350-20-35-30. As a result of the new guidance, an entity can no longer assert that a reporting unit is not required to perform the second step of the goodwill impairment test because the carrying amount of the reporting unit is zero or negative, despite the existence of qualitative factors that indicate goodwill is more likely than not impaired. ASU 2010-28 is effective for public entities for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010, with early adoption prohibited.
In December 2010, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-29 Business Combinations (Topic 805): Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations (ASU 2010-29). ASU 2010-29 specifies that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The amendments in this Update also expand the supplemental pro forma disclosures under Topic 805 to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. The amended guidance is effective prospectively for 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, 2010. Early adoption is permitted.
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.
37
Subsequent Events
On February 24, 2010, the FASB issued guidance in the Subsequent Events topic of the FASC to provide updates including: (1) requiring the company to evaluate subsequent events through the date in which the financial statements are issued; (2) amending the glossary of the Subsequent Events topic to include the definition of SEC filer and exclude the definition of Public entity and (3) eliminating the requirement to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. This guidance was prospectively effective upon issuance. The adoption of this guidance did not impact our results of operations of financial condition.
Our management has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
StrikeForce Technologies, Inc.
Edison, New Jersey
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of StrikeForce Technologies, Inc. (StrikeForce or the "Company") as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the related statements of operations, stockholders deficit and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the Unites States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit at December 31, 2010 and had a net loss and net cash used in operating activities for the year then ended, respectively. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans in regards to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

In November 2010, the Company received notice that the United States Patent Office has issued an official Notice of Allowance for the patent application for the Out-of-Band authentication process technology relating to its ProtectID® product, titled "Multi-Channel Device Utilizing a Centralized Out-of-Band Authentication System". In January 2011, the Company received notice that the United States Patent Office issued the Company Patent No. 7,870,599. The technology developed by the Company and used in the Companys GuardedID® product is the subject of a pending patent application. The Companys operations are based in Edison, New Jersey.
NOTE 2 -
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP).
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, along with 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.
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 had no recorded bad debt expense for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. There were no allowances for doubtful accounts at December 31, 2010 or December 31, 2009.
F-8
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 paragraph 840-10-25-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. When substantially all of the risks and benefits of property ownership have been transferred to the Company, as determined by the test criteria in paragraph 840-10-25-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, the lease then qualifies as a capital lease.
Capital lease assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis 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. The management of the Company determined that there was an impairment of deferred royalties at June 30, 2010.
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. In November 2010, the Company received notice that the United States Patent Office has issued an official Notice of Allowance for the patent application for the Out-of-Band authentication process technology relating to its ProtectID® product, titled "Multi-Channel Device Utilizing a Centralized Out-of-Band Authentication System". In January 2011, the Company received notice that the United States Patent Office issued the Company Patent No. 7,870,599. The technology developed by the Company and used in the Companys GuardedID® product is the subject of a pending patent application. As of December 31, 2010, the Company capitalized $4,329 in patent application costs as incurred with no amortization.
F-9
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 lives are 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 useful 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, , whichever is more reliably measurable . 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 management of the Company determined that there was an impairment of deferred royalties at June 30, 2010. Based on managements evaluation, the Company recorded impairment of deferred royalties of $979,608 for the year ended December 31, 2010. The Company determined that there was no impairment as of and for the year ended December 31, 2009.
Fair value of financial instruments
The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Paragraph 820-10-35-37) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820-10-35-37 are described below:
Level 1 |
| Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. |
|
|
|
Level 2 |
| Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. |
|
|
|
Level 3 |
| Pricing inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market data. |
The carrying amounts of the Companys financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, accounts receivable, prepayments and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, payroll taxes payable, and due to factor, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments. The Companys notes payable, convertible notes payable, convertible secured notes payable, and capital leases payable approximate the fair value of such instruments based upon managements best estimate of interest rates that would be available to the Company for similar financial arrangements at December 31, 2010 and 2009.
The Company revalues its derivative liability at every reporting period and recognizes gains or losses in the Statements of Operations that are attributable to the change in the fair value of the derivative liability. The Company has no other assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
F-10
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 paragraph 815-15-25-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. 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 paragraph 815-15-25-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification 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 in 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 codification 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 December 31, 2010, the Company had not entered into any transactions which were considered hedges.
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 paragraph 815-15-25-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification and paragraph 815-40-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. 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 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).
F-11
Revenue recognition
The Company applies paragraph 605-10-S99-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for revenue recognition. The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the product has been shipped or the services have been rendered to the customer, (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) 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. All costs of these obligations are accrued when the corresponding revenue is recognized. 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 or the software is downloaded via email delivery or an FTP web site. 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.
ASP Hosted Cloud Services The Company offers an Application Service Provider Cloud 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 over the period in which the services are performed.
Fixed price service contracts - Revenue from fixed price service contracts is recognized over the term of the contract 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.
F-12
Stock-based compensation for obtaining employee services
The Company accounts for its stock based compensation in which the Company obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions under the recognition and measurement principles of the fair value recognition provisions of section 718-10-30 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Pursuant to paragraph 718-10-30-6 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, all transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date used to determine the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the third-party performance is complete or the date on which it is probable that performance will occur. 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:
| December 31, | December 31, |
| 2010 | 2009 |
Risk-free interest rate | 1.6% 2.1% | 1.3% |
Dividend yield | 0.00% | 0.00% |
Expected volatility | 290% - 307% | 313% |
Expected option life | 3 years 10 years | 3 years |
The expected life of the options has been determined using the simplified method as prescribed in paragraph 718-10-S99-1 FN77 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.
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 2010 and 2009 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 paragraph 718-10-S99-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification 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. |
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.
Equity instruments issued to parties other than employees for acquiring goods or services
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to parties other than employees for acquiring goods or services under guidance of section 505-50-30 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Section 505-50-30).
Pursuant to Section 505-50-30, all transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date used to determine the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the performance is complete or the date on which it is probable that performance will occur.
Pursuant to Paragraph 505-50-30-S99-1, if the Company receives a right to receive future services in exchange for unvested, forfeitable equity instruments, those equity instruments are treated as unissued for accounting purposes until the future services are received (that is, the instruments are not considered issued until they vest). Consequently, there would be no recognition at the measurement date and no entry should be recorded.

Software development costs
Paragraph 985-20-25-3 of FASB Accounting Standards Codification 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 years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 were $400,467 and $418,547, respectively.
Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under Section 740-10-30 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when 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.
The Company adopted section 740-10-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Section 740-10-25). Section 740-10-25 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under Section 740-10-25, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent (50%) likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Section 740-10-25 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. The Company had no material adjustments to its liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits according to the provisions of Section 740-10-25.
Net loss per common share
Net loss per common share is computed pursuant to section 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common 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 the period to reflect the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through stock options, warrants, and convertible debt, which excludes 72,789,198 shares of employee and non-employee stock options, 122,968,467 shares of common stock issuable under warrants and 97,654,755 shares of common stock issuable under the conversion feature of the convertible notes payable for the year ended December 31, 2010, and 6,289,186 shares of employee and non-employee stock options, 2,068,467 shares of common stock issuable under warrants and 2,654,755 shares of common stock issuable under the conversion feature of the convertible notes payable for the year ended December 31, 2009, respectively. These potential shares of common stock were not included as they were anti-dilutive.
Commitment and contingencies
The Company follows subtopic 450-20 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to report accounting for contingencies. Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated.
F-14
Cash flows reporting
The Company adopted paragraph 230-10-45-24 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for cash flows reporting, classifies cash receipts and payments according to whether they stem from operating, investing, or financing activities and provides definitions of each category, and uses the indirect or reconciliation method (Indirect method) as defined by paragraph 230-10-45-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to report net cash flow from operating activities by adjusting net income to reconcile it to net cash flow from operating activities by removing the effects of (a) all deferrals of past operating cash receipts and payments and all accruals of expected future operating cash receipts and payments and (b) all items that are included in net income that do not affect operating cash receipts and payments. The Company reports the reporting currency equivalent of foreign currency cash flows, using the current exchange rate at the time of the cash flows and the effect of exchange rate changes on cash held in foreign currencies is reported as a separate item in the reconciliation of beginning and ending balances of cash and cash equivalents and separately provides information about investing and financing activities not resulting in cash receipts or payments in the period pursuant to paragraph 830-230-45-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.
Subsequent events
The Company follows the guidance in Section 855-10-50 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the disclosure of subsequent events. The Company will evaluate subsequent events through the date when the financial statements are issued. Pursuant to ASU 2010-09 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, the Company as an SEC filer considers its financial statements issued when they are widely distributed to users, such as through filing them on EDGAR.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
In January 2010, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements, which provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10 that requires new disclosures as follows:
·
Transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2. A reporting entity should disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers.
·
Activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. In the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), a reporting entity should present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements (that is, on a gross basis rather than as one net number).
This Update provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10 that clarify existing disclosures as follows:
·
Level of disaggregation. A reporting entity should provide fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities. A class is often a subset of assets or liabilities within a line item in the statement of financial position. A reporting entity needs to use judgment in determining the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities.
·
Disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques. A reporting entity should provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. Those disclosures are required for fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3.
This Update also includes conforming amendments to the guidance on employers' disclosures about postretirement benefit plan assets (Subtopic 715-20). The conforming amendments to Subtopic 715-20 change the terminology from major categories of assets to classes of assets and provide a cross reference to the guidance in Subtopic 820-10 on how to determine appropriate classes to present fair value disclosures. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years.
F-15
In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-13, CompensationStock Compensation (Topic 718): Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades (ASU 2010-13). This update provides amendments to Topic 718 to clarify that an employee share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the entitys equity securities trades should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition. Therefore, an entity would not classify such an award as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity. The amendments in ASU 2010-13 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010.
In August 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-21, Accounting for Technical Amendments to Various SEC Rules and Schedules: Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Release No. 33-9026: Technical Amendments to Rules, Forms, Schedules and Codification of Financial Reporting Policies (ASU 2010-21), was issued to conform the SECs reporting requirements to the terminology and provisions in ASC 805, Business Combinations, and in ASC 810-10, Consolidation. ASU No. 2010-21 was issued to reflect SEC Release No. 33-9026, Technical Amendments to Rules, Forms, Schedules and Codification of Financial Reporting Policies, which was effective April 23, 2009. The ASU also proposes additions or modifications to the XBRL taxonomy as a result of the amendments in the update.
In August 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-22, Accounting for Various Topics: Technical Corrections to SEC Paragraphs (ASU 2010-22), which amends various SEC paragraphs based on external comments received and the issuance of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 112, which amends or rescinds portions of certain SAB topics. The topics affected include reporting of inventories in condensed financial statements for Form 10-Q, debt issue costs in conjunction with a business combination, sales of stock by subsidiary, gain recognition on sales of business, business combinations prior to an initial public offering, loss contingent and liability assumed in business combination, divestitures, and oil and gas exchange offers.
In December 2010, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-28 IntangiblesGoodwill and Other (Topic 350): When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts (ASU 2010-28).Under ASU 2010-28, if the carrying amount of a reporting unit is zero or negative, an entity must assess whether it is more likely than not that goodwill impairment exists. To make that determination, an entity should consider whether there are adverse qualitative factors that could impact the amount of goodwill, including those listed in ASC 350-20-35-30. As a result of the new guidance, an entity can no longer assert that a reporting unit is not required to perform the second step of the goodwill impairment test because the carrying amount of the reporting unit is zero or negative, despite the existence of qualitative factors that indicate goodwill is more likely than not impaired. ASU 2010-28 is effective for public entities for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010, with early adoption prohibited.
In December 2010, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-29 Business Combinations (Topic 805): Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations (ASU 2010-29). ASU 2010-29 specifies that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The amendments in this Update also expand the supplemental pro forma disclosures under Topic 805 to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. The amended guidance is effective prospectively for 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, 2010. Early adoption is permitted.
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 $23,034,026 at December 31, 2010 and had a net loss of $2,874,462 and net cash used in operating activities of $559,044 for the year ended December 31, 2010, respectively.
Currently, management is attempting to generate sufficient revenues and improve gross margins by a revised sales strategy that was implemented in the second quarter of 2009. In principle, the Company is redirecting its sales focus from direct sales to domestic and international channel sales, where our 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, management is seeking to locate the additional funding necessary to continue to expand and enhance its growth; however, no assurance can be given that we will be able to increase revenues or raise additional capital. We expect to increase our customer base and realize increased revenues from recently signed contracts. We also expect to receive additional financing. Therefore we are assuming that we will continue as a going concern.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

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 authentication technology and firewall solutions, while clarifying that NetLabs still retains ownership. The fair values for these options were measured at the end of each reporting period and were fixed at each vesting date using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model.
The management of the Company determined that there was an impairment of deferred royalties at June 30, 2010. Based on managements evaluation, the Company recorded impairment of deferred royalties of $979,608 for the year ended December 31, 2010.

NOTE 15 -
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 paragraph 815-15-25-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. 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, further assigned to Citco Global, have been accounted for in accordance with paragraph 815-15-25-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification and paragraph 815-40-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. 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 paragraph 815-40-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. When multiple derivatives exist within convertible notes, they have been bundled together as a single hybrid compound 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 18 -
INCOME TAXES
As of December 31, 2010, the Company had deferred tax assets of approximately $4,544,087, resulting from certain temporary and permanent differences and net operating loss (NOL) carry-forwards of approximately $13,462,021, which are available to offset future taxable income, if any, through 2029. As utilization of the net operating loss carry-forwards and temporary difference is not considered more likely than not and accordingly, the deferred tax asset has been fully offset by a valuation allowance.
Deferred tax assets consist primarily of the tax effect of NOL carry-forwards. The Company has provided a full valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets because of the uncertainty regarding its realizability. The valuation allowance increased approximately $474,087 and $196,000 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
We have no disclosure required by this Item.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), as of the last day of the fiscal period covered by this report, December 31, 2010. The term disclosure controls and procedures means our controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2010.
Managements Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f). Management is required to base its assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting on a suitable, recognized control framework, such as the framework developed by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO). The COSO framework, published in Internal Control-Integrated Framework, is known as the COSO Report. Our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer have chosen the COSO framework on which to base their assessment.
This annual report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Managements report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only managements report in this annual report on Form 10-K.
It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance that the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of certain events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.
Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2010.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION
In October 2010 we executed an agreement to pursue a funding opportunity through a consulting company that, through an executed Memorandum of Understanding, purports to provide funding to StrikeForce over time, necessary to sustain the Company while current contracts for business revenues develop and increase to a sustainable level. Other multiple alternative funding options have not progressed to viable proposals or did not close because of their expressed high risk level associated with the Companys secured lenders, large debt positions and low revenues. A requirement of this funding source, utilizing an equity funding approach, required StrikeForce to re-domicile in the State of Wyoming in order for this project to move forward in a necessary timeframe and at a necessary low cost to the Company. In November 2010, we received the corporate registration, amended articles of incorporation and by-laws as a result of our re-domiciling in the State of Wyoming.

Family Relationships
There are no family relationships between any two or more of our directors or executive officers. There is no arrangement or understanding between any of our directors or executive officers and any other person pursuant to which any director or officer was or is to be selected as a director or officer, and there is no arrangement, plan or understanding as to whether non-management shareholders will exercise their voting rights to continue to elect the current board of directors. There are also no arrangements, agreements or understandings to our knowledge between non-management shareholders that may directly or indirectly participate in or influence the management of our affairs.
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
To the best of our knowledge, during the past five years, none of the following occurred with respect to a present or former director or executive officer of our Company: (1) any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time; (2) any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses); (3) being subject to any order, judgment or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of any competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; and (4) being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the SEC or the commodities futures trading commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended or vacated.
41
Board of Directors
Our By-laws provide that there must be no less than one and no more than seven directors, as determined by the Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors currently consists of five directors.
Directors need not be stockholders of the Company or residents of the State of Wyoming. Directors are elected for an annual term and generally hold office until the next Directors have been duly elected and qualified. A vacancy on the Board may be filled by the remaining Directors even though less than a quorum remains. A Director appointed to fill a vacancy remains a Director until his successor is elected by the Stockholders at the next annual meeting of Shareholder or until a special meeting is called to elect Directors.
The executive officers of the Company are appointed by the Board of Directors.
During fiscal 2010, our Board of Directors met twelve times. The Board of Directors also uses resolutions in writing to deal with certain matters and, during fiscal 2010, twenty-two written resolutions were signed by a majority of the Directors.
Compensation of Directors
Our bylaws provide that, unless otherwise restricted by our certificate of incorporation, our Board of Directors has the authority to fix the compensation of directors. The directors may be paid their expenses, if any, related to attendance at each meeting of the board of directors and may be paid a fixed sum for attendance at each meeting of the board of directors or a stated salary as our director. Our bylaws further provide that no such payment will preclude any director from serving our company in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefore. Further, members of special or standing committees may be given compensation for attending committee meetings.
Committees
StrikeForce has two committees: the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee. At this time, there are no members of either Committee and the Board of Directors performs the acts of the Committees. None of our current directors are deemed independent directors as that term is used by the national stock exchanges or have the requisite public company accounting background or expertise to be considered an audit committee financial expert as that term is defined under regulation S-B promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
It is anticipated that the principal functions of the Audit Committee will be to recommend the annual appointment of StrikeForces auditors, the scope of the audit and the results of their examination, to review and approve any material accounting policy changes affecting StrikeForces operating results and to review StrikeForces internal control procedures.
It is anticipated that the Compensation Committee will develop a Company-wide program covering all employees and that the goals of such program will be to attract, maintain, and motivate our employees. It is further anticipated that one of the aspects of the program will be to link an employees compensation to his or her performance, and that the grant of stock options or other awards related to the price of the common shares will be used in order to make an employees compensation consistent with shareholders gains. It is expected that salaries will be set competitively relative to the technology development industry and that individual experience and performance will be considered in setting salaries.
At present, executive and director compensation matters are determined by a majority vote of the board of directors.
We do not have a nominating committee. Historically our entire Board has selected nominees for election as directors. The Board believes this process has worked well thus far particularly since it has been the Board's practice to require unanimity of Board members with respect to the selection of director nominees. In determining whether to elect a director or to nominate any person for election by our stockholders, the Board assesses the appropriate size of the Board of Directors, consistent with our bylaws, and whether any vacancies on the Board are expected due to retirement or otherwise. If vacancies are anticipated, or otherwise arise, the Board will consider various potential candidates to fill each vacancy. Candidates may come to the attention of the Board through a variety of sources, including from current members of the Board, stockholders, or other persons. The Board of Directors has not yet had the occasion to, but will, consider properly submitted proposed nominations by stockholders who are not directors, officers, or employees of the Company on the same basis as candidates proposed by any other person.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
The Company does not have any class of equity securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act. Therefore, our executive officers, directors and 10% beneficial owners are not required to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.
Code of Ethics.
The Company has adopted a code of ethics that applies to the Companys principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. The Companys code of ethics contains standards that are reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:
o | Honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships; |
o | Full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the Company files with, or submits to, the Commission and in other public communications made by the company; |
o | Compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations; |
o | The prompt internal reporting of violations of the code to the board of directors or another appropriate person or persons; and |
o | Accountability for adherence to the code. |
Indemnification of Officers and Directors
As permitted by Wyoming law, our Articles of Incorporation provide that we will indemnify its directors and officers against expenses and liabilities they incur to defend, settle, or satisfy any civil or criminal action brought against them on account of their being or having been Company directors or officers unless, in any such action, they are adjudged to have acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in that Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
Stockholder Communications with the Board
Stockholders who wish to communicate with the Board of Directors should send their communications to the Chairman of the Board at the address listed below. The Chairman of the Board is responsible for forwarding communications to the appropriate Board members.

Our directors did not receive any separate compensation for serving as such during fiscal 2010.

| Options for 70,027,309 shares have been granted under StrikeForces 2004 Equity Incentive Plan which was approved by unanimous consent of the Board of Directors. The option shares were granted at various times from May 2003 through December 2010 and are exercisable at a range of $0.0025 to $10.00 per share. In August 2008, the Company repurchased, at no cost, employee stock options totaling 1,111,791 shares of common stock from twelve employees as a result of a voluntary tender by the employees. The exercise price of the cancelled options ranged from $0.15 per share to $10.00 per share. |
General
At December 31, 2010, our authorized capital stock consisted of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.10 par value (none of which were issued and outstanding).
On October 21, 2010, we amended our Articles of Incorporation to authorize 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.10 (filed as Exhibit 3.1 to Form 10-Q, filed on December 13, 2010). The designations, rights, and preferences of such preferred stock would be determined by the Board of Directors.
On January 10, 2011, 100 shares of preferred shares were designated as Series A Preferred Stock and 100,000,000 shares were designated as Series B Preferred Stock. The bylaws were amended to reflect the rights and preferences of each designation.
The Series A Preferred Stock will collectively have voting rights only, with no dollar value, equal to eighty percent (80%) of the total current issued and outstanding shares of common stock. If at least one share of Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding, the aggregate shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible to a number of shares of common stock equal to four times the sum of the total number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding at the time of conversion, plus the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock (or other designated preferred stock) which are issued and outstanding at the time of conversion. Mark Kay, Ram Pemmaraju and George Waller, each a member of our management, have been granted one share of Series A Preferred Stock. This effectively provides them, upon retention of their Series A Preferred Stock, voting control on matters presented to the shareholders of the Company.
The Series B Preferred Stock shall have preferential liquidation rights in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, such liquidation rights to be paid from the assets of the Company not delegated to parties with greater priority at $1.00 per share or, in the event an aggregate subscription by a single subscriber of the Series B Preferred Stock is greater than $100,000,000, $0.997 per share. The Series B Preferred Stock shall be convertible to a number of shares of common stock equal to the price of the Series B Preferred Stock divided by the par value of the Series B Preferred Stock. The option to convert the shares of Series B Preferred Stock may not be exercised until three months following the issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock to the recipient shareholder. The Series B Preferred Stock shall have ten votes on matters presented to the shareholders of the Company for one share of Series B Preferred Stock held. The initial price of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be $2.50, (subject to adjustment by the Companys Board of Directors) until such time, if ever, the Series B Preferred Stock are listed on a secondary and/or public exchange. As of the date herein, no shares of Series B Preferred Stock have been issued.

In February 2011, the Company ratified the increase of the authorized shares of our common stock from one hundred million (100,000,000) to five hundred million (500,000,000). $0.0001 par value, effective as of the filing of an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation with the Wyoming Secretary of State. Our increase in authorized common shares became effective in March 2011.
Common Stock
The shares of our common stock presently outstanding, and any shares of our common stock issues upon exercise of stock options and/or common stock purchase warrants, will be fully paid and non-assessable. Each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote for each share owned on all matters voted upon by shareholders, and a majority vote is required for all actions to be taken by shareholders. In the event we liquidate, dissolve or wind-up our operations, the holders of the common stock are entitled to share equally and ratably in our assets, if any, remaining after the payment of all our debts and liabilities and the liquidation preference of any shares of preferred stock that may then be outstanding. The common stock has no preemptive rights, no cumulative voting rights, and no redemption, sinking fund, or conversion provisions. Since the holders of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights, holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares can elect all of our Directors, and the holders of the remaining shares by themselves cannot elect any Directors. Holders of common stock are entitled to receive dividends, if and when declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds legally available for such purpose, subject to the dividend and liquidation rights of any preferred stock that may then be outstanding.
Preferred Stock
As of December 31, 2010, the Company had 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.10 par value (none of which are issued and outstanding).
Voting Rights
Each holder of Common Stock is entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders.
Dividends
Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any then-outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, if any, and any other restrictions, holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably those dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the Companys board of directors out of legally available funds. The Company and its predecessors have not declared any dividends in the past. Further, the Company does not presently contemplate that there will be any future payment of any dividends on Common Stock.
Amendment of our Bylaws
Our bylaws may be adopted, amended or repealed by the affirmative vote of a majority of our outstanding shares. Subject to applicable law, our bylaws also may be adopted, amended or repealed by our Board of Directors.
Transfer Agent
Our transfer agent is Worldwide Stock Transfer, LLC. Their address is 433 Hackensack Avenue, Level L, Hackensack, NJ 07601.
