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. StrikeForce Technical Services Corporation was incorporated in August 2001 under the laws of the State of New Jersey. On September 3, 2004, the stockholders approved an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to change the name to StrikeForce Technologies, Inc. On November 15, 2010, we redomiciled under the laws of the State of Wyoming. We initially conducted operations as an integrator and reseller of computer hardware and telecommunications equipment and services until December 2002. In December 2002, and formally memorialized 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. 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, healthcare, 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.
4
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 (“USTPO”) 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. The “Out-of-Band Patent” went through a USTPO Re-Examination process starting on August 16, 2011 and concluded on December 27, 2011, with all of our patent claims remaining in-tact and seven additional Company patent claims being added. In 2011, we submitted an additional continuation patent on the “Out-of-Band” Patent, with another sixty-six additional Company claims now pending. The technology we developed and use in our GuardedID® product is the subject of a pending patent application. In December 2011, we executed an exclusive agreement with an agent to represent us in enforcing the patent.
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 company’s 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. We believe that 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, but cannot guarantee, an increase in revenues based upon the execution of various agreements that we have recently closed and are being implemented.
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 us 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 had not progressed to viable proposals or did not close because of their expressed high risk level associated with our secured lenders, large debt positions and low revenues. A requirement of this funding source, utilizing an equity funding approach, required us 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.
We generated all of our 2011 and 2010 revenues of $448,127 and $265,990, respectively, from the sales of our security products. We market our products to financial service firms, e-commerce companies, government agencies, the enterprise market in general and with virtual private network companies, 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, including South America, Europe and Asia. 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, more secure and technologically competitive solution to address the problems of network security and identity theft in general. However, there can be no assurance that our products will continue to gain increased 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 Company’s website is www.strikeforcetech.com. We are not including the information contained in our website as part of, or incorporating it by reference into, this report on Form 10-K.

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, real time, and to protect network owners and users from identity theft and data breaches. 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 developing a market for our suite of products in the financial services, e-commerce, corporate, healthcare, government and consumer sectors. Our products are as follows:
·
ProtectID® is an authentication platform that uses “Out-of-Band” two-factor in-house installation, cloud service technology and a hybrid to authenticate computer network users by a variety of methods including traditional passwords combined with a telephone, iPhone, Droid, 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 or from the network’s host server across separate channels. The platform allows for client choices, per their company’s security policies, which evolves over time with newly available and customer requested technologies.
·
GuardedD® 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 today’s 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 user’s 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. These products include VASCO (an authentication and e-signature solutions company) tokens, as well as additional authentication and telecommunication software devices.
The ProtectID® Cloud Service can be hosted by our service provider (we have a strategic arrangement with a third party SAS70 hosting service) or not hosted and the ProtectID® Platform can be installed internally in a customer’s infrastructure. With the exception of our free redistributable Microsoft software components and our reseller agreement with VASCO, none of our contracts for hardware or software are with a sole supplier of that product.
Factors that are considered important to our success include, but are not limited to, the following:
·
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.
·
FBI warns of $100 million cyber-threat to small business, reported November 3, 2009 by Computerworld
·
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 Security (“RSA”) who found that 70% of users feel their banks should implement stronger security.
·
48% of all data breaches in 2011 were caused by key loggers (malware copying keystrokes), as reported by the Verizon 2012 Data Breach Report.
·
In 2011, it was reported that RSA Security was breached in late 2011 from which Lockheed Martin and others were affected. This event caused many companies to look to other means of two-factor authentication, such as Out-of-Band. The RSA Data Breach started with a keylogging virus.
·
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.
6
·
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, the Guarded ID(R) is designed to render the malicious programs useless, in real time.
·
The Effectiveness of Our Products: Our products have been designed to provide, we believe, a high 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 global 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. To date and our knowledge, all of our clients have reported, per a report by Research 2.0, that our products work as described .
·
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. StrikeForce’s ProtectID® operates on an independent Cloud Service platform and is also able to integrate with multiple operating systems and user interfaces for an in-house implementation. ProtectID® has been designed to use multiple authentication devices that are currently on the market (including, but not limited to, biometrics, key-fob tokens, iPhones, iPads, Blackberrys, Androids, PDA’s, smart cards and other Mobile devices). Our ability to integrate our products with multiple existing and future technologies is currently a key factor in the growth of our product’s acceptance and is demonstrated by our success with recent clients and installations referred to in a number of our 2011 and 2012 press releases. 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 desktop platform, inclusive of Microsoft Office. New features and functions for both products continue to be developed via our research and development, as well as the ability to operate on other technology platforms, such as Apple and we expect deployment of our GuardedID® for the MAC OS in the second quarter of 2012.
·
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 in our opinion, to be a key factor in the acceptance of our product as we have seen with many of our clients.
Business Model
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. In 2010, we added and publicly announced a major channel distributor who provides a presence for us in London, England, representing us in the European Union. 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, as was the case in 2011. Examples of the channel relationships that we are seeking include already establishing original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) and bundled 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, thereby providing greater value to their clients. 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, government integrators and identity theft product companies.
Our primary target markets include financial services such as banks, insurance companies, e-commerce based services companies, telecommunications and cellular carriers, technology software companies, healthcare, government agencies and consumers. For the near term, we are focusing our concentration on the identity theft and data breach strategic problem areas, such as where compliance with government regulations are key and stolen passwords are used to acquire private information illegally. We recently executed a multi-year contract with a major US financial lender who will utilize our ProtectID® solution for its over (12,000,000) employees, administrators and consumers.
7
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 with a major focus in Europe.
We seek to generate revenue through fees for ProtectID® based on consumer usage in the financial and healthcare services markets, as well as enterprises in general, through our Cloud Service, plus one-time and annual per person fees in the enterprise markets which often are for local installations of our product, and set-up and recurring transaction fees when the product is accessed in our Cloud Service, along with yearly maintenance fees, and other one-time and recurring 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. As more agreements are reached by our distributors, we are experiencing monthly increasing sales growth, through the execution of GuardedID® bundled OEM agreements. We also provide our clients a choice of operating our ProtectID® software internally by licensing it or through our hosted Cloud Service. GuardedID® requires a download on each and every computer it protects, whether for employees or consumers. We have three GuardedID® products, (i) a standard version which protects browser data entry only, (ii) a premium version which protects almost all the applications running under Microsoft Windows on the desktop, including Microsoft Office Suite and (iii) an Enterprise version which provides the Enterprise administrative rights and the use of Microsoft’s Enterprise tools for the product’s deployment.
Marketing
Our multi-channel marketing strategy includes:
·
Direct sales to enterprise and commercial customers. In this effort, we are purchasing marketing programs, a new strategy for us, and we are looking at other inside sales alternatives in order to respond aggressively to inquiries relating to our products.
·
The global addition of 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, managed service companies, other security technology and software vendors, telecom companies, identity theft related product companies, etc.).
·
Application Service Provider (ASP) Partners: Our certified SAS 70 third party service provides a hosting platform that facilitates faster implementations at competitive prices for our Cloud Service option.
·
Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM): SFT products are sold to other security technology vendors that integrate ProtectID® and GuardedID® into their products (bundling) and services providing for monthly increasing recurring revenues.
·
Internet sites that sell GuardedID® to consumers and small enterprises, such as affiliates.
Our hosting service provider is Host My Site and we have been under contract with them since December 2007 when we executed an agreement with a nationwide premier data center and co-location services provider who functions 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 (Statement on Auditing Standards (SAS) No. 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, initially ending in December 2008 and renewing automatically for one-year (1) terms, and is still in effect. The relationship can be terminated by either party on sixty days written notice. The hosting service is compensated by our Company based on a flat monthly fee per the terms of the contract that can increase as we require additional services.
Intellectual Property
In December 2011, we executed an exclusive agreement with an agent to represent us in enforcing the patent. Our 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 our 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®.
8
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 twelve months. At the present time, our monthly cash expenditure burn rate is approximately $95,000 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 consulting subject to cash availability.
Our primary strategy over the next 12 months is to focus on the growth and support of our 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 sales. These include small to medium sized financial institutions, government agencies, e-commerce, healthcare and enterprise businesses. Our management hopes to leverage the increase in marketing expenses and is looking outside the business for further direct sales expansion. 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 agents to generate the bulk of our sales internationally, realizing that this strategy will take time to nurture. 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.
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; Virtual Private Network (“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 when made available. Both products have limited competition based on our product’s 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, 2011, the Company had 7 employees. We believe relations with employees are generally good.

We have yet to establish any history of profitable operations as shown in our independent certified financial audits for 2011 and 2010. As of December 31, 2011, we had an accumulated deficit of $28,521,079. We incurred annual operating losses of $2,874,462 for the year ended December 31, 2010 and $5,487,053 for the year ended December 31, 2011. 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.
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 issued three-year and two-year secured debentures in 2004 and 2005 that are convertible into shares of our common stock to Citco Global Custody, NV (as assigned by YA Global Investments, LP (“YA Global”), formerly Cornell Capital Partners, LP, and Highgate House Funds, Ltd. 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) COULD RESULT IN A CHANGE IN CONTROL.
SUMMARY OF OUR OUTSTANDING SECURED CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES
At December 31, 2011, $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, were issued and outstanding.
HISTORY OF OUR OUTSTANDING SECURED CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES
Our outstanding convertible secured notes payable are secured through the note holder's claim on our intellectual property.
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 and an aggregate of $750,000 principal amount secured debentures issued to Highgate House Funds, Ltd., 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.
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 House Funds, Ltd 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 House Funds, Ltd. 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 House Funds, Ltd. secured convertible debenture)
·
$86,937 (Highgate House Funds, Ltd. accrued and unpaid interest on debentures)
·
$48,944 (Highgate House Funds, Ltd. 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 House Funds, Ltd. 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 House Funds, Ltd. 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 House Funds, Ltd. e 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.
11
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 House Funds, Ltd. 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 House Funds, Ltd., 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 House Funds, Ltd. from May 15, 2008 to October 15, 2008)
·
$27,840 (accrued interest due on the Highgate House Funds, Ltd. 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 House Funds, Ltd. April 26, 2005 debenture reduced the total amount of our indebtedness to YA Global and Highgate House Funds, Ltd. to $1,186,253 as agreed to in the May 2008 Forbearance Agreement.
In April 2009, the YA Global and Highgate House Funds, Ltd. 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 House Funds, Ltd. debenture remained $244,720.
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 House Funds, Ltd. 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 House Funds, Ltd. secured convertible debentures, related documents and the subsequent forbearance agreements had been assigned to Citco Global Custody NV (“Citco Global”) as of April 24, 2009.
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 transferred to PMI Technologies, Inc. (“PMI”). The total amount transferred to PMI was $364,126. In connection with the transfer, the Company paid a related fee to YA Global of $200,000and recorded as financing expense 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 transfer 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 Company’s common stock at $0.03 per share.
In April 2011, we exercised our right of redemption by retiring the PMI Technologies, Inc. portion of the debenture for a payment of $93,248.48 in April 2011.
In April 2011, we executed an amendment to the PMI transfer agreement whereby we consented to the assignment of the remaining balance due to PMI in the amount of $85,805 to Steeltown and its assignees. Additionally, the conversion price was modified to a fixed price of $0.0007603 per share. The amendment also called for us to make available to the note holders the opportunity to offer financing to our company through the sale of a total of 50,000,000 three year warrants exercisable into shares of our common stock as a ladder at $0.02, $0.04, $0.08, $0.12, $0.15 each per share for each ten million warrants equally distributed among the warrant holders.
In September 2011, we notified the Steeltown note holders of our intention to redeem the balance due of the debentures in full and, on September 12, 2011, we redeemed the balance due on the debentures of $35,793, thereby eliminating the right for additional conversions.

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 through fiscal 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 |
$0.060 | $0.048 | 11,303,917 | 5.11% (1) |
$0.040 | $0.032 | 16,955,875 | 7.66% (1) |
$0.020 | $0.016 | 33,911,750 | 15.32% (1) |
$0.018 | $0.014 | 38,756,286 | 17.51% (1) |
$0.015 | $0.012 | 45,215,667 | 18.52% (2) |
(1) Based on 221,388,354 shares of common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2011. 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 closing price of our common stock on December 31, 2011 was $0.018.
(2) Based on 244,194,973 shares of common stock outstanding as of April 10, 2012. 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 closing price of our common stock on April 9, 2012 was $0.015.
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, UNTIL WE FILE OUR FORM 10-Q AND FORM 10-K, AND AS A RESULT, YOU WILL HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF WHEN THE INVESTORS ARE CONVERTING INTO SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK UNTIL WE FILE OUR FORM 10-Q AND FORM 10-K.
While the securities purchase agreements with Citco Global 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 was 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 until we file our Form 10-Q and 10-K. As a result, you will have no knowledge of when the investors are converting until we file our Form 10-Q and 10-K. 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 until we file our Form 10-Q and 10-K.
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.
13
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 CONTAIN NEGATIVE COVENANTS WHICH RESTRICT OUR ABILITY TO CREATE SECURITY INTERESTS, CHANGE MANAGEMENT, DECLARE DIVIDENDS, MAKE LOANS AND INCUR ADDITIONAL INDEBTEDNESS, WITHOUT CITCO GLOBAL’S AND PMI’S 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 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), we granted Citco Global a secured interest in all of our assets. In accordance with such agreement, we may not, without Citco Global’s written consent, directly or indirectly:
·
permit to exist any assignment, transfer, pledge, mortgage, security interest or other lien or encumbrance in or against any part of the pledged property;
·
materially change our ownership, executive staff or management, including Mark L. Kay;
·
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;
·
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 APPLICATION WILL BE GRANTED. FAILURE TO OBTAIN THE PATENT FOR THE APPLICATION COULD PREVENT US FROM SECURING REVENUES IN THE FUTURE. THE PATENT APPLICATION FOR THE PROTECTID® TECHNOLOGY HAS BEEN GRANTED.
In November 2010, we received notice that the United States Patent Office (“USTPO”) 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. The “Out-of-Band Patent” went through a USTPO Re-Examination process starting on August 16, 2011 and concluded on December 27, 2011, with all of our patent claims remaining in-tact and seven additional Company patent claims being added. In 2011, we submitted an additional continuation patent on the “Out-of-Band” Patent, with another sixty-six additional Company claims now pending. The technology we developed and use in our GuardedID® product is the subject of a pending patent application. In December 2011, we executed an exclusive agreement with an agent to represent us in enforcing the patent. 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.
14
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 company’s 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 have been implemented and will continue to 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. In December 2011, we executed an exclusive agreement with a firm to defend and protect our “Out-of-Band” Patent No. 7,870,599.
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 and Inventor, Ramarao Pemmaraju, 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 seven 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.
15
The time and costs to effectuate our 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.
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 gradually increase as our monthly revenues 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:
·
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.
·
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 defeated 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 COMPANY’S BUSINESS IS IMPACTED BY ANY INSTABILITY AND FLUCTUATIONS IN GLOBAL FINANCIAL SYSTEMS.
The recent credit crisis and related instability in the global financial system, although somewhat abated, has had, and may continue to have, an impact on our prospective business and our prospective financial condition. We may face significant challenges if conditions in the financial markets do not continue to improve. Our ability to access the capital markets may be severely restricted at a time when we wish or need to access such markets, which could have a materially adverse impact on our flexibility to react to changing economic and business conditions or carry on our operations.
REPORTING REQUIREMENTS MAY UTILIZE A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF OUR CASH AND REDUCE THE PERIOD OF TIME WE CAN SURVIVE ON OUR AVAILABLE CASH RESERVES PRIOR TO GENERATING REVENUE.
We will incur ongoing costs and expenses for SEC reporting and compliance. To be eligible for quotation on the OTCBB, issuers must remain current in their filings with the SEC. Market Makers are not permitted to begin quotation of a security whose issuer does not meet this filing requirement. Securities already quoted on the OTCBB that become delinquent in their required filings will be removed following a 30 day grace period if they do not make their required filing during that time. In order for us to remain in compliance we will require future revenues to cover the cost of these filings, which could comprise a substantial portion of our available cash resources.

THE REGULATION OF PENNY STOCKS BY SEC AND FINRA (FINANCIAL INDUSTRY REGULATORY AUTHORITY, INC.) MAY DISCOURAGE THE TRADABILITY OF THE COMPANY'S SECURITIES AND THEREBY MAKE IT HARD FOR INVESTORS TO SELL THEIR SHARES AT THE TIME AND PRICES THEY MIGHT OTHERWISE EXPECT.
We are a "penny stock" company. We are subject to a Securities and Exchange Commission rule that imposes special sales practice requirements upon broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers or accredited investors. For purposes of the rule, the phrase "accredited investors" means, in general terms, institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000, or individuals having a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or having an annual income that exceeds $200,000 (or that, when combined with a spouse's income, exceeds $300,000). For transactions covered by the rule, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination of the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction prior to the sale. Effectively, this discourages broker-dealers from executing trades in penny stocks. Consequently, the rule will affect the ability of purchasers in this offering to sell their securities in any market that might develop, because it imposes additional regulatory burdens on penny stock transactions.
In addition, the Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted a number of rules to regulate "penny stocks". Such rules include Rules 3a51-1, 15g-1, 15g-2, 15g-3, 15g-4, 15g-5, 15g-6, and 15g-9 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Because our securities constitute "penny stocks" within the meaning of the rules, the rules would apply to us and to our securities. The rules will further affect the ability of owners of shares to sell their securities in a market that might develop for them because it imposes additional regulatory burdens on penny stock transactions.
Shareholders should be aware that, according to the Securities and Exchange Commission Release No. 34-29093, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (i) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (ii) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (iii) "boiler room" practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (iv) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (v) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, leaving investors with 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 the Company's securities.
RULE 144 SALES IN THE FUTURE MAY HAVE A DEPRESSIVE EFFECT ON THE COMPANY'S STOCK PRICE AS AN INCREASE IN SUPPLY OF SHARES FOR SALE, WITH NO CORRESPONDING INCREASE IN DEMAND WILL CAUSE PRICES TO FALL.
All of the outstanding shares of common stock held by the present officers, directors, and affiliate stockholders are "restricted securities" within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. As restricted shares, these shares may be resold only pursuant to an effective registration statement or under the requirements of Rule 144 or other applicable exemptions from registration under the Act and as required under applicable state securities laws. Rule 144 provides in essence that a person who is an affiliate or officer or director who has held restricted securities for six months may, under certain conditions, sell every three months, in brokerage transactions, a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of 1.0% of a Company's outstanding common stock. There is no limit on the amount of restricted securities that may be sold by a non-affiliate after the owner has held the restricted securities for a period of six months if the company is a current reporting company under the 1934 Act. A sale under Rule 144 or under any other exemption from the Act, if available, or pursuant to subsequent registration of shares of common stock of present stockholders, may have a depressive effect upon the price of the common stock in any market that may develop.
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 MORE DIFFICULT 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 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.
18
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 management’s 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 auditor’s 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 management’s 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. We 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 Company’s directors, officers or affiliates is involved in a proceeding adverse to the Company’s business or has a material interest adverse to the Company’s business.

PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES.
(A) MARKET INFORMATION
The Company’s Small Business registration statement on Form SB-2 was declared effective by the SEC in August 2005 and the Company’s 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 Company’s common stock is quoted on the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board maintained by the NASD under the symbol “SFOR.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: |
March 31, 2010 June 30, 2010 September 30, 2010 December 31, 2010 | $0.015 $0.006 $0.002 $0.002 | $0.080 $0.100 $0.009 $0.070 |
March 31, 2011 | $0.023 | $0.072 |
June 30, 2011 | $0.020 | $0.038 |
September 30, 2011 | $0.018 | $0.048 |
December 31, 2011 | $0.016 | $0.018 |
The closing bid price for our shares of common stock on April 9, 2012 was $0.015.
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 23, 2012, there were approximately 416 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.
21
(D) RECENT ISSUANCES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES

All of the warrants expire in October 2014.
In November 2011, we sold to two individuals certain units which contained common stock and warrants. We issued 2,000,000 shares of our common stock at $0.025 per share, 1,000,000 shares to each individual, and warrants to purchase a total of 1,500,000 shares of our common stock, exercisable at $0.04 per share, that expire in October 2014.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Forward-Looking Statements
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
We are a software development and services company that offers a suite of integrated computer network security products using proprietary technology.
From the sales of our security software products, we generated all of our revenues of $448,127 for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to $265,990 for the year ended December 31, 2010.
23
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. Updated guidance for the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (“FFIEC”) regulations include the requirement for solutions that have Two-Factor Out-of-Band Authentication and products that stop keylogging malware, real time, which our management believes our proprietary products uniquely and directly address. This new updated guidance went into effect as of January 1, 2012. Based on this new requirement in the latest FFIEC update that was published in June 2011 and being enforced commenced in January 2012, we have recently experienced a growing increase in sales orders and inquiries. 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.
Because we are now experiencing a continual 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 and require appropriate levels of support.
Results of Operations
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2011 COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2010
Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2011 were $448,127 compared to $265,990 for the year ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $182,137 or 68.5%. The increase in revenues was primarily due to the increase in sales of our software products as a result of the implementation of several new contracts executed in 2011.
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, 2011 were $11,374 compared to $6,570 for the year ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $4,804. 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, 2011 were $431,153 compared to $229,015 for the year ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $202,138. The increase in software, services and maintenance revenues was primarily due to the increase in the sales of our GuardedID® keyboard encryption (anti-keylogger) technology and our ProtectID® (“Out-of-Band”) technology. Sign on fees for access to our cloud hosted service provider to utilize our Application Service Provider (“ASP”) transaction model amounted to $5,600 for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to $2,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $3,600. The increase was primarily due the increase in signing up new client for our cloud hosted service. Transaction revenues from the ASP hosting model were $0 for the year ended December 31, 2011 and $28,405 for the year ended December 31, 2010, a decrease of $28,405. 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, 2011 was $25,426 compared to $39,217 for the year ended December 31, 2010, a decrease of $13,791, or 35.2%. 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, 2011 was 5.7% compared to 14.7% for the year ended December 31, 2010. The decrease reflects lower support costs for GuardedID® as compared to. ValidateID®.
Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $422,701 compared to $226,773 for the year ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $195,928, or 86.4%. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to the increase in sales of our software products as a result of the execution of several new contracts executed in 2011.
Research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2011 were $352,670 compared to $400,467 for the year ended December 31, 2010, a decrease of $47,797, or 11.9%. 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, 2011 were $5,152,834 compared to $1,069,522 for the year ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $4,083,312 or 382%. The increase was due primarily to a one-time $987,000 increase in stock based compensation expense through the issuance of preferred stock in the first fiscal quarter and a $2,468,375 increase in stock based compensation expense through the issuance of employee and non-employee stock options. 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, plus travel costs and non-cash stock compensation expense for the issuance of stock to non-employees and other general corporate expenses.
24
Other (income) expense for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $404,250 as compared to $1,629,166 for the year ended December 31, 2010, representing a decrease in other expense of $1,224,916, or 75.2%. The decrease was primarily due to the deferred royalties impairment expense that was incurred in the second quarter of 2010 and the change in the fair value of the derivatives relating to a portion of our secured convertible debenture balance.
Our net loss for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $5,487,053 compared to a net loss of $2,874,462 for the year ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $2,612,591, or 90.9%. The increase in our net loss was due primarily to a one-time $987,000 increase in stock based compensation expense through the issuance of preferred stock in the first fiscal quarter and a $2,468,375 increase in stock based compensation expense through the issuance of employee and non-employee stock options, offset by increased gross profit and reduced research & development and SGA expenses in 2011.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our total current assets at December 31, 2011 were $87,744, including no cash as compared with $80,535 in total current assets at December 31, 2010, which included cash of $45,925. Additionally, we had a stockholders’ deficit in the amount of $10,262,227 at December 31, 2011 compared to a stockholders’ deficit of $10,352,468 at December 31, 2010. 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 $334,605, 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, 2011 primarily through the sale and settlement of debt and debentures, recurring revenues from our ProtectID® hosting platform and license fees, and sales of our GuardedID® keystroke encryption technology. Management anticipates that we will continue to rely on equity and debt financing, at least in the near future, to finance our operations. While management believes that there will be a substantial percentage of our sales generated from our GuardedID® product and there is an increasing number of customers for our ProtectID® product, we will continue to have customer concentrations. Inherently, as time progresses and corporate exposure in the market continues to grow, with increasing marketing efforts, management believes, but cannot guarantee, we will continue to attain greater numbers of customers and the concentrations could decrease over time. 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 77,538,877 shares at the year ended December 31, 2010 to 221,388,354 at the year ended December 31, 2011, an increase of 186%. The increase in the number of common shares outstanding was due to common shares issued related to the sale, conversion and settlement of debt, equity financing and consulting obligations, which, consequently, reduced our total debt.
We have historically incurred losses and we anticipate that we will not generate any significant revenues until the fourth quarter of 2012 or later. Our operations presently require funding of approximately $95,000 per month. Management believes, but cannot provide assurances, that we will be cash flow positive by the end of 2012 based on recently executed and announced contracts and potential contracts that we anticipate closing throughout 2012 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. Management also recognizes the consequences of the current world economic developments and the possible volatile effect on currency rates resulting from revenues derived from foreign markets.
At December 31, 2011, $542,588 in aggregate principal amount of the Citco Global Custody NV (“Citco Global”) debentures, as assigned by YA Global and Highgate House Funds, Ltd. in April 2009 (see below), were issued and outstanding.

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 Company’s common stock at $0.03 per share.
In April 2011, we exercised our right of redemption by retiring the PMI Technologies, Inc. portion of the debenture for a payment of $93,248.48 in April 2011.
In April 2011, we executed an amendment to the PMI assignment agreement whereby we assigned the remaining open portion of the debenture, in the amount of $85,805 to Steeltown and its assignees.

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 determine other borrowing sources to continue our operations. It is management’s plan to seek additional funding through the sale of common stock, the sale and settlement of trade payables and debentures, 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.
27
Our future revenues and profits, if any, will primarily depend upon our ability, and that of our distributors and resellers, 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 House Funds, Ltd.), there are no material or known trends that will restrict either short term or long-term liquidity.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.
Going Concern
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 accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.
As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, we had a working capital deficiency of $9,634,490 and $8,752,954 and deficits in stockholders’ equity of $10,261,974 and $10,352,468 at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and net losses of $5,487,053 and $2,874,462 and net cash used in operating activities of $982,200 and $346,567 for each of the years then ended. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Currently, management is attempting to increase revenues and improve gross margins by a revised sales strategy. In principle, we are redirecting our sales focus from direct sales to domestic and international channel sales, where we are primarily selling through a channel of Distributors, Value Added Resellers, Strategic Partners and Original Equipment Manufacturers. While we believe in the viability of our strategy to increase revenues and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to continually increase our customer base and realize increased revenues from recently signed contracts.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
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.
28
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
The Company’s significant estimates and assumptions include the fair value of financial instruments; allowance for doubtful accounts; the carrying value, recoverability and impairment, if any, of long-lived assets, including the values assigned to and the estimated useful lives of property and equipment, patents; interest rate; underlying assumptions to estimate the fair value of beneficial conversion features, warrants and options; revenue recognized or recognizable; sales returns and allowances; income tax rate, income tax provision deferred tax assets and valuation allowance of deferred tax assets; and the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern. Those significant accounting estimates or assumptions bear the risk of change due to the fact that there are uncertainties attached to those estimates or assumptions, and certain estimates or assumptions are difficult to measure or value.
Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
Management regularly evaluates the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such evaluations, and if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Discount on Debt
The Company allocates the proceeds received from convertible debt instruments between the liability component and equity component and records the conversion feature as a liability . 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 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.
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.
Our outstanding secured convertible notes payable and the unsecured convertible notes payable, issued per a term sheet executed with an investor firm in November 2011, are hybrid instruments which contain an embedded derivative feature which 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.
29
The secured convertible debentures issued to YA Global and Highgate, further assigned to Citco Global, and the unsecured convertible debentures issued to the investor firm, 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. We have 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 Company’s statement of operations as “Derivative instrument expense, net”. We have 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 our 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 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.
Embedded Beneficial Conversion Feature of Convertible Instruments
We recognize and measure the embedded beneficial conversion feature of applicable convertible instruments by allocating a portion of the proceeds from the convertible instruments equal to the intrinsic value of that feature to additional paid-in capital. The intrinsic value of the embedded beneficial conversion feature is calculated at the commitment date as the difference between the conversion price and the fair value of the securities into which the convertible instruments are convertible. We recognize the intrinsic value of the embedded beneficial conversion feature of the convertible notes so computed as interest expense.
Software Development Costs
Software development costs incurred subsequent to establishment of technological feasibility and prior to the availability of the product for general release to customers are capitalized. 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 product’s 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.
Related Parties
Related parties include a. affiliates of the Company; b. entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of Section 825–10–15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; c. trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; d. principal owners of the Company; e. management of the Company; f. other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and g. other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.
Commitment and Contingencies
We follow applicable accounting guidance to report accounting for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. We assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against us or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, we evaluate the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability is accrued in our financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, is disclosed.
Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees are disclosed. Our management is not aware of any such matters exist at this time.

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. We recognize revenue from the sale of software licenses when the four criteria discussed above are met. 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 the services are performed. Revenue in excess of billings on service contracts is recorded as unbilled receivables and is included in trade accounts receivable. Applicable billings in excess of revenue that is recognized on service contracts are recorded as deferred income until the aforementioned revenue recognition criteria are met.
Carrying Value, Recoverability and Impairment of Long-lived Assets
We have adopted paragraph 360-10-35-17 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for its long-lived assets. Our long-lived assets, which include property and equipment, 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 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 asset’s expected future discounted cash flows or market value, whichever is more reliably measurable. If long-lived 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 key assumptions used in management’s estimates of projected cash flow deal largely with forecasts of sales levels, gross margins, and operating costs. These forecasts are typically based on historical trends and take into account recent developments as well as management’s plans and intentions. Factors, such as increased competition or a decrease in the desirability of our products, could lead to lower projected sales levels, which would adversely impact cash flows. A significant change in cash flows in the future could result in an impairment of long lived assets.
31
Stock-Based Compensation for Obtaining Employee Services
We account for our stock based compensation in which we obtain employee services in share-based payment transactions according to the fair value method. 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 expected life of the options has been determined using the simplified method.
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 2011 and 2010 are as follows:
·
Expected volatility of the entity’s shares and the method used to estimate it. We use our historical volatility of our shares over the expected contractual life of the share options or similar instruments as its expected volatility. The expected term of share options and similar instruments represents the period of time the options and similar instruments are expected to be outstanding taking into consideration of the contractual term of the instruments and employees’ expected exercise and post-vesting employment termination behavior into the fair value of the instruments. We use historical data to estimate employee termination behavior. We use historical data to estimate holder’s expected exercise behavior.
·
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 and similar instruments.
·
The expected dividend yield is based on our current dividend yield as the best estimate of projected dividend yield for periods within the expected contractual life of the option and similar instruments We have not declared any dividends since inception.
Our 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, our 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
We account for equity instruments issued to parties other than employees for acquiring goods or services under applicable accounting guidance. 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. The fair value of option or warrant award is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing valuation model.
We may grant fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments that are exercisable by the grantee only after a specified period of time if the terms of the agreement provide for earlier exercisability if the grantee achieves specified performance conditions. Any measured cost of the transaction is recognized in the same period(s) and in the same manner as if the entity had paid cash for the goods or services or used cash rebates as a sales discount instead of paying with, or using, the equity instruments. A recognized asset, expense, or sales discount is not to be reversed if a stock option that the counterparty has the right to exercise expires unexercised.
If we receive 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, in such cases, there is no recognition at the measurement date and no entry is to be recorded.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
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. (the "Company") as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s 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 audit 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, 2011 and 2010, 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 has a working capital deficiency and deficits in stockholders’ equity at December 31, 2011 and 2010 and net losses and net cash used in operating activities for each of the years then ended. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s 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.

Strikeforce Technologies, Inc.
December 31, 2011 And 2010
Notes to the Financial Statements
Note 1 - Nature of Operations
StrikeForce Technical Services Corporation was incorporated in August 2001 under the laws of the State of New Jersey. On September 3, 2004, the stockholders approved an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to change the name to StrikeForce Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”). On November 15, 2010, the Company was redomiciled under the laws of the State of Wyoming. The Company’s operations are based in Edison, New Jersey.
The Company is a software development and services company. The Company owns the exclusive right to license and develop various identification protection software products that were developed to protect computer networks from unauthorized access and to protect network owners and users from identity theft. The Company has developed a suite of products based upon the licenses and its strategy is to develop and exploit the products for customers in the areas of financial services, e-commerce, corporate, government, healthcare and consumer sectors. In November 2010, the Company received notice that the United States Patent Office (“USTPO”) has issued an official Notice of Allowance for the patent application for the 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 “Out-of-Band Patent” went through a USTPO Re-Examination process starting on August 16, 2011 and concluded on December 27, 2011, with all of the Company's patent claims remaining in-tact and seven additional Company patent claims being added. In 2011, the Company also submitted an additional continuation patent on the “Out-of-Band” Patent, with another sixty-six additional Company claims now pending. The technology developed by the Company and used in the Company’s GuardedID® product is the subject of a pending patent application. In December 2011, the Company executed an exclusive agreement with an agent to represent the Company in enforcing the patent. The agent will receive a commission of 50% of the net proceeds resulting from their services.
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
Reclassification
Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported losses.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
The Company’s significant estimates and assumptions include the fair value of financial instruments; allowance for doubtful accounts; the carrying value, recoverability and impairment, if any, of long-lived assets, including the values assigned to and the estimated useful lives of property and equipment, patents and interest rate; underlying assumptions to estimate the fair value of beneficial conversion features, warrants and options; revenue recognized or recognizable; sales returns and allowances; income tax rate, income tax provision, deferred tax assets and valuation allowance of deferred tax assets; and the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern. Those significant accounting estimates or assumptions bear the risk of change due to the fact that there are uncertainties attached to those estimates or assumptions, and certain estimates or assumptions are difficult to measure or value.
Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
Management regularly evaluates the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such evaluations, and if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
F-7
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company follows applicable accounting guidance for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments. The U.S.GAAP establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. To provide consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, U.S. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three 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 levels of fair value hierarchy 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. |
Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.
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. If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.
The carrying amounts of the Company’s 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 Company’s notes payable, convertible notes payable, convertible secured notes payable, and capital leases payable approximate the fair value of such instruments based upon management’s best estimate of interest rates that would be available to the Company for similar financial arrangements at December 31, 2011 and 2010.
The Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities consist of the derivative financial instruments for which there is no current market for these securities such that the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation. The Company valued the automatic conditional conversion, re-pricing/down-round, change of control; default and follow-on offering provisions using a lattice model, with the assistance of a valuation specialist, for which management understands the methodologies. These models incorporate transaction details such as Company stock price, contractual terms, maturity, risk free rates, as well as assumptions about future financings, volatility, and holder behavior as of the date of issuance and each balance sheet date.
Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm's-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free-market dealings may not exist.
Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured on a Recurring Basis
Level 3 Financial Liabilities – Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company uses Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy to measure the fair value of the derivative liabilities and revalues its derivative liability at the end of 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.
Carrying Value, Recoverability and Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company’s long-lived assets, which include property and equipment, 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 asset’s expected future discounted cash flows or market value, whichever is more reliably measurable. If long-lived 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.
F-8
The key assumptions used in management’s estimates of projected cash flow deal largely with forecasts of sales levels, gross margins, and operating costs. These forecasts are typically based on historical trends and take into account recent developments as well as management’s plans and intentions. Factors, such as increased competition or a decrease in the desirability of the Company’s products, could lead to lower projected sales levels, which would adversely impact cash flows. A significant change in cash flows in the future could result in an impairment of long lived assets.
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 and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
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 Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s 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.
As a result of the company’s revenue recognition policy, there were no allowances for doubtful accounts at December 31, 2011 or 2010. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure to its customers.
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 applicable accounting guidance. When substantially all of the risks and benefits of property ownership have been transferred to the Company, 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 Company’s 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.
Patents
All costs incurred to the point when a patent application is to be filed are expensed as incurred as research and development cost. Patent application costs, generally legal costs, thereafter incurred are capitalized. Patents are amortized over the expected useful lives of the patents, which is generally 17 to 20 years for domestic patents and 5 to 20 years for foreign patents, once the patents are granted or are expensed if the patent application is rejected. The costs of defending and maintaining patents are expensed as incurred.
As of December 31, 2011, the Company capitalized $4,329 in patent application costs as incurred with no amortization.
Discount on debt
The Company allocates the proceeds received from convertible debt instruments between the liability component and equity component, and records the conversion feature as a liability. 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 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.
F-9
Derivatives
Derivative instruments are required to be recognized 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, 2011, the Company had not entered into any transactions which were considered hedges.
Embedded Beneficial Conversion Feature of Convertible Instruments
The Company recognizes and measures the embedded beneficial conversion feature of applicable convertible instruments by allocating a portion of the proceeds from the convertible instruments equal to the intrinsic value of that feature to additional paid-in capital. The intrinsic value of the embedded beneficial conversion feature is calculated at the commitment date as the difference between the conversion price and the fair value of the securities into which the convertible instruments are convertible. The Company recognizes the intrinsic value of the embedded beneficial conversion feature of the convertible notes so computed as interest expense.
From time to time, the Company transfers the liability under the denture instrument to a third party in certain circumstances.
In December 2010, the balance of the YA Global April 2009 secured convertible debenture, 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 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 was 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.
In April 2011, the Company executed an amendment to the PMI assignment agreement whereby it assigned the remaining open portion of the debenture, in the amount of $85,805, to Steeltown Consulting Group, LLC (“Steeltown”) and its assignees. Additionally, the conversion price was modified to a fixed price of $0.0007603 per share (see Notes 11 and 15).
For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded $20,430 and $0, respectively, of interest expense related to the amortization of the discount of the beneficial conversion feature. In September 2011, the Company redeemed the Steeltown debentures in full, thereby eliminating the right for additional conversions.
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 applicable accounting guidance. 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, and 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-10
Related Parties
Related parties include a. affiliates of the Company; b. entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; c. trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; d. principal owners of the Company; e. management of the Company; f. other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and g. other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.
Commitment and Contingencies
The Company follows applicable accounting guidance to report accounting for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability is accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, is disclosed.
Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees are disclosed. Management is not aware any such matters exist at this time.
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 the four criteria discussed above are met. 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.
F-11
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. Applicable billings in excess of revenue that is recognized on service contracts are recorded as deferred income until the aforementioned revenue recognition criteria are met.
Stock-Based Compensation for Obtaining Employee Services
The Company accounts for its stock based compensation in which the Company obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions according to the fair value method. 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, 2011 | December 31, 2010 |
Risk-free interest rate | 2.14% | 1.64 – 2.09% |
Dividend yield | 0.00% | 0.00% |
Expected volatility | 313% | 290% - 345% |
Expected option life | 3 years – 5 years | 3 years – 5 years |
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 2011 and 2010 are as follows:
·
Expected volatility of the entity’s shares and the method used to estimate it. The Company uses its historical volatility of its shares over the expected contractual life of the share options or similar instruments as its expected volatility. The expected term of share options and similar instruments represents the period of time the options and similar instruments are expected to be outstanding taking into consideration of the contractual term of the instruments and employees’ expected exercise and post-vesting employment termination behavior into the fair value of the instruments. The Company uses historical data to estimate employee termination behavior. The Company uses historical data to estimate holder’s expected exercise behavior.
·
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 and similar instruments.
·
The expected dividend yield is based on the Company’s current dividend yield as the best estimate of projected dividend yield for periods within the expected contractual life of the option and similar instruments The Company has not declared any dividends since inception.
The Company’s 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 Company’s 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 applicable accounting guidance. 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. The fair value of option or warrant award is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing valuation model.
The Company may grant fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments that are exercisable by the grantee only after a specified period of time if the terms of the agreement provide for earlier exercisability if the grantee achieves specified performance conditions. Any measured cost of the transaction is recognized in the same period(s) and in the same manner as if the entity had paid cash for the goods or services or used cash rebates as a sales discount instead of paying with, or using, the equity instruments. A recognized asset, expense, or sales discount is not to be reversed if a stock option that the counterparty has the right to exercise expires unexercised.
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, in such cases, there is no recognition at the measurement date and no entry is to be recorded.
F-12
Software Development Costs
Software development costs incurred subsequent to establishment of technological feasibility and prior to the availability of the product for general release to customers are capitalized. 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 product’s 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.
Income Tax Provision
The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method. 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 the uncertainty in income taxes accounting standard which 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 this guidance, 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 are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The standard also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures.
The estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities are reported in the accompanying balance sheets, as well as tax credit carry-backs and carry-forwards. The Company periodically reviews the recoverability of deferred tax assets recorded on its balance sheets and provides valuation allowances as management deems necessary.
Management makes judgments as to the interpretation of the tax laws that might be challenged upon an audit and cause changes to previous estimates of tax liability. In addition, the Company operates within multiple taxing jurisdictions and is subject to audit in these jurisdictions. In management’s opinion, adequate provisions for income taxes have been made for all years. If actual taxable income by tax jurisdiction varies from estimates, additional allowances or reversals of reserves may be necessary.
Uncertain Tax Positions
The Company’s operations are based in New Jersey and it is subject to federal and New Jersey state income tax. Tax years subsequent to 2007 are open to examination by United States and state tax authorities. The Company had no material adjustments to its liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits. On classification of all interest and penalties related to income tax, if any, the Company records them under other expenses in the Statement of Operations.
Net Loss per Common Share
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.
The Company’s potentially outstanding shares of common stock excludes 142,789,198 shares of employee and non-employee stock options, 240,968,467 shares of common stock issuable under warrants, 26,043,017 shares of common stock issuable under the conversion feature of the convertible notes payable and 1,000,000 shares of common stock to be issued for the year ended December 31, 2011, and 72,789,198 shares of 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, respectively. These potentially outstanding dilutive shares of common stock were excluded as they were anti-dilutive.
Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date when the financial statements were issued.
F-13
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued updated guidance on “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other: Testing Goodwill for Impairment”. The guidance simplifies how public and nonpublic entities test goodwill for impairment. The amendments permit an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test described. Under this updated guidance, an entity is not required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount.
The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, as or if adopted, has or would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
Note 3 - Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.
As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $9,634,490 and $8,752,954 and deficits in stockholders’ equity of $10,261,974 and $10,352,468 at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and net losses of $5,487,053 and $2,874,462 and net cash used in operating activities of $982,200 and $346,567 for each of the years then ended. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Currently, management is attempting to increase revenues and improve gross margins by a revised sales strategy. In principle, the Company is redirecting its sales focus from direct sales to domestic and international channel sales, where the Company is primarily selling through a channel of Distributors, Value Added Resellers, Strategic Partners and Original Equipment Manufacturers. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to increase revenues and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to continually increase its customer base and realize increased revenues from recently signed contracts.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

In December 2010, the balance of the YA Global April 2009 secured convertible debenture, 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 was transferred to PMI Technologies, Inc. (“PMI”). The total amount transferred to PMI was $364,126. In connection with this transfer, the Company paid a transfer 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.
In December 2010, the Company executed an amendment to the PMI transfer 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 Company’s common stock at $0.03 per share.
In April 2011, the Company executed an amendment to the PMI transfer agreement whereby the Company consented to the assignment of the remaining balance due to PMI, in the amount of $85,805, to Steeltown Consulting Group, LLC (“Steeltown”) and its assignees. Additionally, the conversion price was modified to a fixed price of $0.0007603 per share (see Notes 2 and 15). The amendment also called for the Company to make available to the note holders the opportunity to offer financing to the Company through the sale of a total of 50,000,000 three year warrants exercisable into shares of the Company's common stock as a ladder at $0.02, $0.04, $0.08, $0.12, $0.15 each per share for each ten million warrants equally distributed among the warrant holders.
In September 2011, the Company notified the Steeltown note holders of its intention to redeem the balance due of the debentures in full and, on September 12, 2011, the Company redeemed the balance due on the debentures of $35,793, thereby eliminating the right for additional conversions.

Note 12 - Financial Instruments
The secured convertible notes payable and the unsecured convertible notes payable, issued per a term sheet executed with an investor firm in November 2011(see Notes 6 and 13), are hybrid instruments which contain an embedded derivative feature which 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, and the unsecured convertible debentures issued to the investor firm, 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 Company’s 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 Company’s common stock, as well as other factors. As a result, the Company’s financial statements may fluctuate from quarter-to-quarter based on factors, such as the price of the Company’s 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 16 - Income Tax Provision
As of December 31, 2011, the Company had deferred tax assets of approximately $5,029,299, resulting from certain temporary differences and net operating loss (“NOL”) carry-forwards of approximately $14,792,056, 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 $452,212 and $442,081 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Components of deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 are as follows:

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
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
Regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) require public companies to maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” which are defined as controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
We carried out an evaluation, with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), of the effectiveness our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2011. Based upon that evaluation, our CEO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to the material weaknesses described below.
In light of the material weaknesses described below, we performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures to ensure our financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, we believe that the financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
A material weakness is a control deficiency (within the meaning of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) Auditing Standard No. 2) or combination of control deficiencies that result in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. Management has identified the following four material weaknesses which have caused management to conclude that, as of December 31, 2011, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level:
1.
We do not have written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures. Written documentation of key internal controls over financial reporting is a requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act which is applicable to us as of and for the year ending December 31, 2011. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have written documentation of our internal controls and procedures on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.
2.
The Company’s board of directors has no audit committee, independent director or member with financial expertise which causes ineffective oversight of our external financial reporting and internal control over financial reporting.
3.
We do not have sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions, which is a basic internal control. Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have segregation of duties on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.
To address these material weaknesses, management performed additional analyses and other procedures to ensure that the financial statements included herein fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
Remediation of Material Weaknesses
We intend to remediate the material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures identified above by adding independent director or member with financial expertise or hiring a full-time CFO, with SEC reporting experience, in the future when working capital permits and by working with our independent registered public accounting firm and refining our internal procedures. To date, we have not been successful in reducing the number of audit adjustments, but will continue our efforts in the coming fiscal year as more fully detailed below.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

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.
35
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 2011, our Board of Directors met twelve times. The Board of Directors also uses resolutions in writing to deal with certain matters and, during fiscal 2011 thirty-six 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-K 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 StrikeForce’s auditors, the scope of the audit and the results of their examination, to review and approve any material accounting policy changes affecting StrikeForce’s operating results and to review StrikeForce’s 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 employee’s 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 employee’s 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.
36
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 Company’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. The Company’s code of ethics contains standards that are reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:
·
Honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;
·
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;
·
Compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;
·
The prompt internal reporting of violations of the code to the board of directors or another appropriate person or persons; and
·
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 our 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.

Director Compensation
Four of our five directors were also executive officers of the Company through June 28, 2010. Three of our five directors were also executive officers of the Company from June 29 through December 31, 2011. In December 2008, the Board of Directors eliminated the position of President. As a result, the Company President is no longer an officer or employee of the Company, but he remains on the Board of Directors. In June 2010, our former Chief Financial Officer resigned and is no longer an employee of the Company, but he remains on the Board of Directors. Our directors did not receive any separate compensation for serving as such during fiscal 2011.

Options for 140,027,309 shares have been granted under StrikeForce’s 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 2011 and are exercisable at a range of $0.0025 to $10.00 per share. In August 2008, twelve employees voluntarily surrendered for cancellation 1,111,791 options to purchase common stock. Such surrender did not require any accounting recognition by the Company.
General
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.
In February 2011, an 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, was ratified, effective upon the filing of an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation with the Wyoming Secretary of State.

Preferred Stock
On October 21, 2010, we amended our Articles of Incorporation in New Jersey to authorize 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.10. The designations, rights, and preferences of such preferred stock are to be determined by the Board of Directors. On November 15, 2010, we changed our domicile from the state of New Jersey to the state of Wyoming.
In addition to the 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock authorized, on January 10, 2011, 100 shares of preferred stock were designated as Series A Preferred Stock and 100,000,000 shares were designated as Series B Preferred Stock. The bylaws under the Wyoming Incorporation were amended to reflect the rights and preferences of each additional new designation.
The Series A Preferred Stock collectively has voting rights equal to eighty percent 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 have voting rights equal to the number of shares of common stock equal to four times the sum of the total number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding, plus the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock (or other designated preferred stock) which are issued and outstanding.
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 our assets 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 our shareholders 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 our Board of Directors) until such time, if ever, the Series B Preferred Stock are listed on a secondary and/or public exchange.
