NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Nature of the Business
LaserLock Technologies Inc., together with its wholly-owned subsidiary, LL Security Products, Inc., is referred to as the “Company.” LaserLock Technologies Inc. was incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 10, 1999.  The Company is based in Washington, D.C. and its common stock is traded on the OTCQB under the ticker symbol “LLTI”.  A high-tech solutions company in the field of authenticating people and products, LaserLock offers state-of-the-art solutions to combat identity fraud and counterfeiting utilizing multi-factor authentication and a suite of security pigments for governments, health care providers, the gaming industry, the financial services industry and high-end retailers.
 
The Company invests in developing new proprietary color shifting inks that it believes will allow it to penetrate broader markets and result in increased revenues. The Company refines its technologies and their applications, and now has what it believes to be one of the most cost effective and efficient authentication technologies available. Its most recent technology takes advantage of the new ubiquitous energy efficient fluorescent lighting to change the color of ink, resulting in numerous potential new applications ranging from credit cards to drivers licenses, passports, stock certificates, clothing labels, currency, ID cards, and tax stamps. The technologies can also be used to protect DVDs, apparel, pharmaceuticals, and virtually any other physical product.
 
The Company’s digital solution is a multi-platform (iOS and Android) strong authentication solution that integrates biometrics and geo-location tagging. The solution completely eliminates passwords and the inherently weak security they provide. The solution also removes the user complexity associated with having to manage many complex passwords. The solution can be delivered either as a high availability cloud service, managed by the Company, or as licensed software product for operation on the client’s premises.
 
The solution integrates three independent authentication factors – something you have (for instance a smartphone), something you know (for instance a color gesture swipe) and something you are (for instance your facial geometry) - into a simple, fast, intuitive solution. The system can also accurately determine the precise location of the individual using a variety of mechanisms including GPS, cell tower triangulation, IP or WIFI address. Because the solution incorporates biometrics it completely eliminates the possibility that users might share their authentication credentials. The combination of biometrics and geolocation provides extremely strong transactional evidence, making it nearly impossible for an end-user to refute having been part of a transaction.
 
The Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including the need to secure additional funding to operationalize the Company’s current technology.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 as filed with the SEC. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014.
 
Principle of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of LaserLock Technologies Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, LL Security Products, Inc. All inter-company transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Comprehensive Income
The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 220 in reporting comprehensive income.  Comprehensive income is a more inclusive financial reporting methodology that involves disclosure of certain financial information that historically has not been recognized in the calculation of net income.  Since the Company has no items of other comprehensive income (loss), comprehensive income (loss) is equal to net income (loss).
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses, embedded derivative, warrant liability and notes payable.  The carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair value because of their short maturities. The Company believes the carrying amount of its notes payable and convertible debt approximates its fair value based on rates and other terms currently available to the Company for similar debt instruments.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers all cash accounts, which are not subject to withdrawal restrictions or penalties, and certificates of deposit and commercial paper with original maturities of 90 days or less to be cash or cash equivalents.
 
Concentration of Credit Risk Involving Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are held at two financial institutions. At times, the Company’s deposits may exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) coverage limits.  The Company has not experienced any losses from maintaining cash accounts in excess of federally insured limits.
 
Inventory
Inventory principally consists of penlights and pigments and is stated at the lower of cost (determined by the first-in, first-out method) or market.
 
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, principally five to seven years. Maintenance and repairs of property are charged to operations, and major improvements are capitalized. Upon retirement, sale, or other disposition of property and equipment, the costs and accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is included in operations. Depreciation of property and equipment was $17,313 and $51,940 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and $17,313 and $51,525 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.
 
Patents and Trademark
The Company has five issued patents, filed for three provisional patents for anti-counterfeiting technology and purchased a trademark. Costs associated with the registration and legal defense of the patents have been capitalized and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated lives of the patents that were determined to be 17 to 20 years.
 
Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets in accordance with ASC 360 “Property, Plant, and Equipment.” The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset, undiscounted and without interest or independent appraisals. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the assets.
 
-6-
 

 

 
Deferred Financing Costs
Costs incurred in securing long-term debt are deferred and amortized, as a charge to interest expense, over the term of the related debt. In the case of long-term debt modifications, the Company follows the guidance provided by ASC 470-50 “Debt – Modification and Extinguishments.”
 
Convertible Notes Payable
Convertible notes payable, for which the embedded conversion feature does not qualify for derivative treatment, are evaluated to determine if the effective or actual rate of conversion per the terms of the convertible note agreement is below market value. In these instances, the Company accounts for the value of the beneficial conversion feature (BCF) as a debt discount, which is then accreted to interest expense over the life of the related debt using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method.
 
Derivative Instruments
The Company evaluates its convertible debt, warrants or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for in accordance with Topic 480 of the FASB ASC and Topic 815 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the embedded derivative, if required to be bifurcated, is marked-to-market at each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability. The change in fair value is recorded in the Statement of Operations as a component of other income or expense. Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity.
 
In circumstances where the embedded conversion option in a convertible instrument is required to be bifurcated and there are also other embedded derivative instruments in the convertible instrument that are required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single, compound derivative instrument. 
 
The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification are reclassified to liability at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. Derivative instrument liabilities will be classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument is expected within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
 
Revenue Recognition
In accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition (Codified in FASB ASC 605), the Company recognizes revenue when (i) persuasive evidence of a customer or distributor arrangement exists, (ii) a retailer, distributor or wholesaler receives the goods and acceptance occurs, (iii) the price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability of the revenue is reasonably assured. Subject to these criteria, the Company recognizes revenue from product sales, consisting mainly of pigments and penlights, upon shipment to the customer. Royalty revenue is recognized upon receipt of notification from a customer that the Company’s product has been used in the customer’s production process.
 
License fee revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the license agreement.
 
Income Taxes
The Company follows FASB ASC 740 when accounting for income taxes, which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes.  Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for temporary differences between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income.  Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.  Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
 
Stock-based Payments
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the provisions of ASC 718,  Compensation—Stock Compensation, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based awards made to employees and directors based on estimated fair values on the grant date. The Company estimates the fair value of stock-based awards on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model.  The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods using the straight-line method.
 
-7-
 

 

 
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation awards to non-employees in accordance with ASC 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees (“ASC 505-50”). Under ASC 505-50, the Company determines the fair value of the warrants or stock-based compensation awards granted as either the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.
 
All issuances of stock options or other equity instruments to non-employees as consideration for goods or services received by the Company are accounted for based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued. Any stock options issued to non-employees are recorded as an expense and additional paid-in capital in stockholders’ equity over the applicable service periods.
 
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs were approximately $9,000 and $62,238 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and $23,615 and $29,371 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, and are included in sales and marketing expenses.
 
Research and  Development Costs
In accordance with FASB ASC 730, research and development costs are expensed when incurred.
 
Basic and Diluted Net Income per Share of Common Stock
The Company follows FASB ASC 260 when reporting Earnings Per Share resulting in the presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Since the Company reported a net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and the nine months ended September 30, 2013, common stock equivalents, including stock options and warrants were anti-dilutive; therefore, the amounts reported for basic and dilutive loss per share during those periods were the same.
 
Basic net income per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods presented.  Diluted net income per common share is computed using weighted average number of common shares plus dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the period. Potential common shares that would have the effect of increasing diluted earnings per share are considered to be anti-dilutive, i.e., the exercise prices of the outstanding stock options were greater than the market price of the common stock.
 
The numerator for both basic and diluted earnings per share is net income. The denominator for basic earnings per share is the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The dilutive effect of outstanding convertible debt, stock options and warrants is reflected in the denominator for diluted earnings per share using the treasury stock method.

The following is a reconciliation of basic shares to diluted shares:

    465,253,680  
 
Segment Information
The Company is organized and operates as one operating segment wherein the Company’s patented technologies are utilized to address counterfeiting issues. In accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting, the chief operating decision-maker has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer, who reviews operating results to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company.  Since the Company operates in one segment and provides one group of similar products, all financial segment and product line information required by FASB ASC 280 can be found in the consolidated financial statements.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-10, Development State Entities (Topic 915), Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation.  The amendments in this update remove the definition of a development stage entity from the Master Glossary of the Accounting Standard Codification, thereby removing the financial reporting distinction that previously required development stage entities to (1) present inception-to-date information in the statements of income, cash flow, and stockholder equity, (2) label the financial statements as those of a development stage entity, (3) disclose a description of the development stage activities in which the entity is engaged, and (4) disclose the first year in which the entity is no longer a development stage entity that in prior years it had been in the development stage.
 
The amendments also clarify that the guidance in Topic 275, Risks and Uncertainties, is applicable to entities that have not commenced planned principle operations.
 
The amendments related to the elimination of inception-to-date information and the other remaining disclosure requirements of Topic 915 should be applied retrospectively except for the clarification to Topic 275, which must be applied prospectively.  For public business entities, those amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods therein.
 
For public business entities, the amendment eliminating the exception to the sufficiency-of-equity-at-risk criterion for development stage entities in paragraph 810-10-15-16 should be applied retrospectively for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods therein.
 
Early application of each of the amendments is permitted for any annual reporting period or interim period for which the entity’s financial statements have not yet been issued (public business entities) or made available for issuance (other entities).  Upon adoption entities will no longer present or disclose any information required by Topic 915.
 
The Company adopted the amendment retrospectively for the interim period ending June 30, 2014.
 
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The amendments in this Update provide guidance about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued and to provide related footnote disclosures. Substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern exists when relevant conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, indicate that it is probable that the entity will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. The amendments in this Update are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted.

Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the 2013 statement of operations have been classified in order for them to conform with the 2014 presentation.
 
NOTE 2 – MANAGEMENT PLANS
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred significant losses and experienced negative cash flow from operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
 
-9-
 

 

 
The Company believes that its existing cash resources will not be sufficient to sustain operations during the next twelve months. The Company currently needs to generate revenue in order to sustain its operations. In the event that the Company cannot generate sufficient revenue to sustain its operations, the Company will need to reduce expenses or obtain financing through the sale of debt and/or equity securities. The issuance of additional equity would result in dilution to existing stockholders. If the Company is unable to obtain additional funds when they are needed or if such funds cannot be obtained on terms acceptable to the Company, the Company may be unable to execute upon the business plan or pay costs and expenses as they are incurred, which could have a material, adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
If sufficient revenues are not generated to sustain operations or additional funding cannot be obtained in the short term, the Company will need to reduce monthly expenditures to a level that will enable the Company to continue until such funds can be obtained.
 
On June 5, 2014, the Company entered into an exclusive agreement with Merriman Capital, Inc. to raise up to $5 million in additional capital for the Company (the “Capital Raise”). VerifyMe, Inc. (“VerifyMe”), the holder of a majority of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase common stock, in connection with the Subscription Agreement, dated January 31, 2012, and as a holder of Preferred Stock, on May 23, VerifyMe waived its rights under such agreement as they relate to parameters of the raise based on the Company’s revised budget.
 
Successful completion of the Company’s development program, and the attainment of profitable operations are dependent upon future events, including obtaining adequate financing to fulfill its development activities and achieving a level of sales adequate to support the Company’s cost structure. However, there can be no assurances that the Company will be able to secure additional equity investment or achieve an adequate sales level.
 
NOTE 3 – PATENTS AND TRADEMARK
 
The Company has five issued patents and filed for three additional provisional patents for anti-counterfeiting technology. Accordingly, costs associated with the registration of these patents and legal defense have been capitalized and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated lives of the patents (17 to 20 years). During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company capitalized $0 of patent cost and during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company capitalized patent costs of $0 and $21,594, respectively. Amortization expense for patents was $3,277 and $9,831 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and $3,277 and $9,814 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. Future estimated annual amortization over the next five years is approximately $13,100 per year for the years ended December 31, 2014 through 2018.
 
NOTE 4 – INCOME TAXES
 
Income tax expense was $0 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.
 
As of January 1, 2014, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits, and accordingly, the Company did not recognize interest or penalties during 2014 related to unrecognized tax benefits.  There has been no change in unrecognized tax benefits during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, and there was no accrual for uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2014.  Tax years from 2010 through 2013 remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions.
 
The Company had income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014; however, due to tax adjustments, the Company had a net loss for tax purposes.  There is no income tax benefit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 since management has determined that the realization of the net tax deferred asset is not assured and has created a valuation allowance for the entire amount of such benefits.
 
NOTE 5 - SENIOR SECURED CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE –RELATED PARTIES
 
During the second quarter of 2014, $216,249 of principal of the Company’s outstanding senior convertible notes held by a significant shareholder of the Company, plus accrued interest of $208,339, were converted into 8,448,519 shares of common stock.  The excess of the fair value of the Company’s common stock over the value of the notes payable and accrued interest, $82,000, was recorded as loss on extinguishment of debt in accordance with FASB ASC 470-50.
 
-10-
 

 

 
As of September 30, 2014, the outstanding principal balance on these notes was $114,000.  Accrued interest at September 30, 2014 amounted to $109,085.
 
If an equity financing with total proceeds of more than $5,000,000 occurs while any of these notes are outstanding, holders of notes will have the right, at their option, to convert the outstanding principal and interest of the notes into shares of common stock at a discount of 30% of the price per share in the qualified financing. Since the embedded conversion feature is contingent upon the occurrence of the qualified financing, the value of the contingent conversion feature, if beneficial, will be recognized if the triggering event occurs and the contingency is resolved.
 
NOTE 6 - NOTES PAYABLE
 
On September 8, 2014, the Company issued notes payable for $150,000, which included fully vested warrants to purchase 900,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.05 per share, expiring in five years.  The warrants were valued at $62,544 using Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the grant-date fair value of the warrants, with the following assumptions: no dividend yield, expected volatility of 233.8%, risk free interest rate of 1.67% and expected life of 5 years.  The relative fair value of the warrants was $44,140 and was recorded as a discount to the notes payable in accordance with FASB ASC 835-30-25, Recognition and is being accreted over the term of the note payable for financial statement purposes.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, $11,700 was accreted through interest expense.  The note and accrued interest at 8% per annum are due in full on December 1, 2014.  The warrants are subject to anti-dilutive adjustments and are therefore classified as a liability in accordance with FASB ASC 815.  The warrant liability is re-valued at each reporting period with the change in fair value recorded through earnings.  As of September 30, 2014, the fair value of the warrant liability was $44,566 and the note payable balance was $117,560, net of $32,440 discount.
 
On August 14, 2014, the Company issued notes payable for $100,000, which included fully vested warrants to purchase 600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.05 per share, expiring in five years.  The warrants were valued at $47,676 using Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the grant-date fair value of the warrants, with the following assumptions: no dividend yield, expected volatility of 233.8%, risk free interest rate of 1.67% and expected life of 5 years.  The relative fair value of the warrants was $32,274 and was recorded as a discount to the notes payable in accordance with FASB ASC 835-30-25, Recognition and is being accreted over the term of the note payable for financial statement purposes.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, $14,045 was accreted through interest expense.  The note and accrued interest at 8% per annum are due in full on December 1, 2014.  The warrants are subject to anti-dilutive adjustments and are therefore classified as a liability in accordance with FASB ASC 815.  The warrant liability is re-valued at each reporting period with the change in fair value recorded through earnings.  As of September 30, 2014, the fair value of the warrant liability was $29,697 and the note payable balance was $81,771, net of $18,229 discount.
 
On August 12, 2014, the Company issued notes payable for $50,000, which included fully vested warrants to purchase 300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.05 per share, expiring in five years.  The warrants were valued at $26,817 using Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the grant-date fair value of the warrants, with the following assumptions: no dividend yield, expected volatility of 233.8%, risk free interest rate of 1.67% and expected life of 5 years.  The relative fair value of the warrants was $17,455 and was recorded as a discount to the notes payable in accordance with FASB ASC 835-30-25, Recognition and is being accreted over the term of the note payable for financial statement purposes.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, $7,775 was accreted through interest expense.  The note and accrued interest at 8% per annum are due in full on December 1, 2014.  The warrants are subject to anti-dilutive adjustments and are therefore classified as a liability in accordance with FASB ASC 815.  The warrant liability is re-valued at each reporting period with the change in fair value recorded through earnings.  As of September 30, 2014, the fair value of the warrant liability was $14,848 and the note payable balance was $40,320, net of $9,680 discount.
 
On August 5, 2014, the Company issued notes payable for $100,000, which included fully vested warrants to purchase 600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.05 per share, expiring in five years.  The warrants were valued at $29,725 using Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the grant-date fair value of the warrants, with the following assumptions: no dividend yield, expected volatility of 233.8%, risk free interest rate of 1.67% and expected life of 5 years.  The relative fair value of the warrants was $22,914 and was recorded as a discount to the notes payable in accordance with FASB ASC 835-30-25, Recognition and is being accreted over the term of the note payable for financial statement purposes.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, $10,653 was accreted through interest expense.  The note and accrued interest at 8% per annum are due in full on December 1, 2014.  The warrants are subject to anti-dilutive adjustments and are therefore classified as a liability in accordance with FASB ASC 815.  The warrant liability is re-valued at each reporting period with the change in fair value recorded through earnings.  As of September 30, 2014, the fair value of the warrant liability was $29,692 and the note payable balance was $87,739, net of $12,261 discount.

NOTE 7 – WARRANT LIABILITY
 
On December 31, 2012, the Company entered into an Investment Agreement, a Technology and Service Agreement, a Patent and Technology License Agreement and an Asset Purchase Agreement with VerifyMe, and on the same date entered into a Technology and Service Agreement with Zaah Technologies, Inc. (collectively with the VerifyMe agreements, the “Agreements”). Contemplated by those Agreements were warrants issuances by the Company for the purchase of the Company’s common stock.
 
The warrants associated with these Agreements are subject to anti-dilution adjustments outlined in the Agreements. In accordance with FASB ASC 815, the warrants were classified as a liability in the total amount of $2.4 million at December 31, 2012. In addition, the warrants must be valued every reporting period and adjusted to market with the increase or decrease being adjusted through earnings.  As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the fair value of the warrant liability was $2,516,231 and $3,700,000.
 
On January 1, 2014, the Company issued warrants to purchase 6,349,206 shares of the Company’s common stock as consideration for technology received from VerifyMe under to the Patent and Technology License Agreement dated December 31, 2012. The warrants are exercisable at $0.10 per share. The warrants are subject to anti-dilution adjustments outlined in the Agreement. In accordance with FASB ASC 815, the warrants were classified as a liability with an initial fair value of $444,000, which was immediately expensed as research and development costs. In addition, the warrants must be valued every reporting period and adjusted to market with the increase or decrease being adjusted through earnings. As of September 30, 2014, the fair value of the warrant liability was $302,690.
 
The Company made the payment of warrants to VerifyMe on a good faith basis, based on the assumption that the technology conveyed to the Company would be patentable and licensable.  The Company has not reached a conclusion that the technology will be patentable and licensable, and can provide no assurance to this effect.
 
-12-
 

 

 
Should the Company ultimately conclude that the technology received from VerifyMe is patentable and licensable, the Company would be required to make, on January 1, 2015, an additional payment pursuant to Patent and Technology Agreement in the amount of $4,500,000, to be paid by issuing (i) a number of shares of common stock equal to (x) $4,500,000 divided by (y) a price which equals a 10% discount to the market price at the time of issuance and (ii) warrants to purchase an equal number of shares of common stock exercisable at a price of $0.10 per share.  Based upon the current share price of $0.04 per share, this would result in the issuance of approximately an additional 125 million shares of common stock and warrants to purchase an additional 125 million shares. 
 
NOTE 8 – CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
 
Subscription Agreement
 
The Company entered into a Subscription Agreement with VerifyMe on January 31, 2013 (the “Subscription Agreement”). Under the terms of the Subscription Agreement, VerifyMe subscribed to purchase 33,333,333 shares of the Company’s Series A preferred stock (the “Preferred Stock”) and a warrant to purchase 33,333,333 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.12 per share, for $1 million.
 
At any time before January 31, 2015, VerifyMe has the right, but not the obligation, to require the Company to repurchase all, but not less than all, of the capital stock of the Company and warrants exercisable for capital stock of the Company held by VerifyMe in exchange for the price originally paid by VerifyMe therefor upon the occurrence of any of the following events:(i) the consummation of any bona fide business acquisition, (ii) the incurrence of any indebtedness by the Company in an amount in excess of $2 million, (iii) the issuance or sale of any security having a preference on liquidation senior to common stock, or (iv) the sale by the Company of capital stock or warrants exercisable for its capital stock at a price below $0.03 per share.
 
In accordance with FASB ASC 480 and 815, the Preferred Stock has been classified as permanent equity and was valued at $1 million at January 31, 2013.
 
The conversion feature of the Preferred Stock is an embedded derivative, which is classified as a liability in accordance with FASB ASC 815 and was valued in accordance with FASB ASC 470 as a beneficial conversion feature at a fair value of $1 million at January 31, 2013, $800,000 at December 31, 2013 and $400,000 at September 30, 2014. This was classified as an embedded derivative liability and a discount to Preferred Stock. Because the Preferred Stock can be converted at any time, the full amount of the original fair value was accreted and classified as a reduction to the discount on Preferred Stock and a deemed dividend distribution in the full amount of $1 million, in 2013.
 
The warrants associated with the Preferred Stock were also classified as a liability since they are subject to anti-dilutive adjustments outlined in the warrant agreement and valued at a fair market value of $2,995,791 at January 31, 2013. Because this amount was entirely in excess of the transaction price, this amount was recorded as a charge to expenses of $2,995,791 in 2013. In addition, the warrants must be valued every reporting period and adjusted to market with the increase or decrease being adjusted through earnings. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the fair value of the warrants was $1,595,967 and $2,300,000, respectively.
 
The Preferred Stock has a preference in liquidation that the holders of the Preferred Stock are to be paid out of assets available for distribution prior to holders of common stock. The Preferred Stockholders may cast the number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of common stock into which the shares of Preferred Stock can be converted. In addition, the Preferred Stockholders are to be paid dividends, based on the number of shares of Preferred Stock as if the shares had been converted to common shares, prior to the common stockholders receiving a dividend.
 
The conversion price of the shares of Preferred Stock is currently $0.03 per share.
 
In August 2013, VerifyMe elected to convert in a cashless transaction an equal number of shares of Preferred Stock valued at $366,667 to 12,222,222 shares of common stock.

NOTE 9 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
Derivative Liabilities
 
For purposes of determining whether certain instruments are derivatives for accounting treatment, the Company follows the accounting standard that provides guidance for determining whether an equity-linked financial instrument, or embedded feature, is indexed to an entity’s own stock.  The standard applies to any freestanding financial instruments or embedded features that have the characteristics of a derivative, and to any freestanding financial instruments that are potentially settled in an entity’s own common stock.
 
Liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized as follows:
 
   
Level 1
   
Level 2
   
Level 3

As of September 30, 2014, the beneficial conversion feature of the Preferred Stock is treated as an embedded derivative liability and changes in the fair value were recognized in earnings.  The Preferred Stock shares are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, which did traded in an active securities market, therefore the embedded derivative liability was valued using the following market based inputs:

Closing trade price of Common Stock
  $ 0.05  
Series A Preferred Stock Conversion Price
  $ 0.03  
Intrinsic value of conversion option per share
  $ 0.02  

The Company has no assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.  There were no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
 
As of September 30, 2014, the Company’s outstanding warrants were treated as derivative liabilities and changes in the fair value were recognized in earnings.  These common stock purchase warrants did not trade in an active securities market, and as such, the Company estimated the fair value of these warrants using Black-Scholes and the following assumptions:
 
   
Sept 30, 2014
 
Annual Dividend Yield
    0.0%  
Expected Life (Years)
    3.25 – 4.98  
Risk-Free Interest Rate
    1.67%  
Expected Volatility
    205.4% – 240.2%  

Expected volatility was based primarily on historical volatility. Historical volatility was computed using daily pricing observations for recent periods. The Company believes this method produced an estimate that was representative of the Company’s expectations of future volatility over the expected term of these warrants. The Company had no reason to believe future volatility over the expected remaining life of these warrants was likely to differ materially from historical volatility.  The expected life was based on the remaining contractual term of the warrants. The risk-free rate was based on the U.S. Treasury rate that corresponded to the expected term of the warrants.

NOTE 10 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
 
On January 1, 2014, under the terms of the Patent and Technology License Agreement, the Company issued 6,349,206 shares of common stock to VerifyMe, in addition to the warrants described in Note 7 above.  The shares were issued in payment for the technology received.  Under the agreement, $400,000 worth of the Company’s common stock was to be paid by the Company to VerifyMe at a 10% discount to the market at time of payment.  The closing price was $0.07 per share discounted 10% to $0.063.  The $400,000 payment divided by the $0.063 per share resulted in 6,349,206 shares to be issued.  The entire $400,000 payment was expensed to research and development.
 
During the second quarter of 2014, $216,249 of principal of the Company’s outstanding senior convertible notes plus accrued interest of $208,339, were converted into 8,448,519 shares of common stock.  The excess of the fair value of the Company’s common stock over the value of the notes payable and accrued interest, $82,000, was recorded as loss on extinguishment of debt in accordance with FASB ASC 470-50.
 
NOTE 11 – STOCK OPTIONS
 
During 1999, the Board of Directors (“Board”) of the Company adopted, with the approval of the stockholders, a Stock Option Plan.  In 2000, the Board superseded that plan and created a new Stock Option Plan, pursuant to which it is authorized to grant options to purchase up to 1.5 million shares of common stock. On December 17, 2003, the Board, with approval of the stockholders, superseded the 2000 plan and created the 2003 Stock Option Plan (the “2003 Plan”). Under the 2003 Plan the Company is authorized to grant options to purchase up to 18,000,000 shares of common stock to the Company’s employees, officers, directors, consultants, and other agents and advisors. The Plan is intended to permit stock options granted to employees under the Plan to qualify as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Incentive Stock Options”).  All options granted under the 2003 Plan, which are not intended to qualify as Incentive Stock Options, are deemed to be non-qualified options (“Non-Statutory Stock Options”).
 
During 2013, our Board adopted a new omnibus incentive compensation plan (the “2013 Plan”) which will serve as the successor incentive compensation plan to the 2003 Plan, and will provide the Company with an comprehensive plan to design and structure grants of stock options, stock units, stock awards, stock appreciation rights and other stock-based awards for our employees, non-employee directors and certain consultants and advisors. Our Board of Directors believes that the availability of (i) 20,000,000 new shares of our common stock, plus (ii) the 74,004 shares of our common stock available for issuance under the 2003 Plan, will be sufficient to meet the objective.
 
As of September 30, 2014, there are 24,425,996 options that have been issued, and 13,574,004 options that are available to be issued under the Plan.
 
The 2013 Plan is administered by a committee of the Board (“Stock Option Committee”) which determines the persons to whom awards will be granted, the number of awards to be granted and the specific terms of each grant, including the vesting thereof, subject to the provisions of the plan.
 
In connection with Incentive Stock Options, the exercise price of each option may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of the grant (or 110% of the fair market value in the case of a grantee holding more than 10% of the outstanding stock of the Company). The aggregate fair market value (determined at the time of the grant) of stock for which an employee may exercise Incentive Stock Options under all plans of the company shall not exceed $1,000,000 per calendar year. If any employee shall have the right to exercise any options in excess of $100,000 during any calendar year, the options in excess of $100,000 shall be deemed to be Non-Statutory Stock Options, including prices, duration, transferability and limitations on exercise.
 
The Company issued Non-Statutory Stock Options pursuant to contractual agreements with non-employees.  Options granted under the agreements are expensed when the related service or product is provided.

Determining the appropriate fair value of stock-based awards requires the input of subjective assumptions.  The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value its stock option awards.  The assumptions used in calculating the fair value represent management’s best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and judgments.
 
On January 22, 2013, the Company issued options to an employee to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.05 per share, with a term of ten years. The options vest as follows: 250,000 immediately, 250,000 on the first anniversary of the grant date and 500,000 on the second anniversary of the grant date. The Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the grant-date fair value of the warrants, with the following assumptions: no dividend yield, expected volatility of 222%, risk-free interest rate of 1.9% and expected option life of ten years. The fair value of the options issued was $99,972, of which $25,000 was expensed immediately and the remainder is being expensed over the vesting terms.   The total expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $6,300 and $20,200, respectively. The total expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $12,599 and $59,367, respectively.

The Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the grant-date fair value of the warrants, with the following assumptions: no dividend yield, expected volatility of 259%, risk-free interest rate of 1.9% and expected option life of ten years. The fair value of options issued was $89,998. The total expense recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $5,000.  The employee was dismissed and the options were cancelled during the three months ended June 30, 2013.

In addition, upon execution of the agreement the Company agreed to issue options to the Vice Chairman to purchase 5% of the shares of the Company’s fully diluted common stock at an exercise price of $.05 per share, subsequent to the Company receiving funding of $2.5 million. The Company raised the $2.5 million in funding and on June 25, 2013, the Company issued the Vice Chairman 19 million options in satisfaction of the 5% of the shares of the Company’s fully diluted common stock clause. The Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the grant-date fair value of the warrants, with the following assumptions: no dividend yield, expected volatility of 146.1%, risk-free interest rate of 2.6% and expected option life of ten years.

Overview
 
We were incorporated in Nevada in November 1999. We are a technology development company that delivers product and document authentication and security. We plan to develop and market technologies in a variety of applications in the security fields.
 
We believe that the technologies we own will enable businesses to reconstruct their overall approaches to corporate security - from counterfeit identification to employee or customer monitoring. Potential applications of our technologies are available in different types of products and industries including gaming, apparel, tobacco, perfume, compact disks, pharmaceuticals, event and transportation tickets, driver’s licenses, insurance cards, passports, computer software, DVDs, and credit cards. We intend to generate sales through the licensing of our technology or through direct sales of our technology to end-users.
 
We have five issued patents and have submitted three additional patent applications relating to our technology. These patents seek to accomplish non-intrusive document and product authentication in order to reduce losses caused by unpermitted document reproduction or by product counterfeiting. The technologies involve the utilization of invisible or color shifting/changing inks, which are compatible with today’s printing machines. The inks may be used with certain printing systems such as offset, flexographic, silkscreen, gravure, and laser. Based upon the Company’s research, we believe that the ink technologies may be incorporated into existing manufacturing processes.
 
Strategic Outlook
 
We believe that the security and authentication industries will continue to grow over time, especially as counterfeiting becomes easier with advances in technology. Within the market, we intend to provide our products to government bodies and merchants in the consumer products, gaming and financial services industries.
 
Sustained spending on technology, our ability to raise additional financing, and the continued growth of the security and authentication markets are all external conditions that may affect our ability to execute our business plan. In addition, certain potential customers may view our small size and limited financial resources negatively, even if they prefer our products to those of our competitors.
 
Our primary strategic objective over the next 12-24 months is to successfully market our products and generate revenue that is sufficient to cover our operating expenses and support additional growth over the next several years. We plan to achieve this objective through a targeted marketing program. As we grow, we intend to hire professionals to develop new products and market our products.
 
We believe that our near-term success will depend particularly on our ability to develop customer awareness and confidence in our products. Since we have limited capital resources, we will need to closely manage our expenses and conserve our cash by continually monitoring any increase in expenses and reducing or eliminating unnecessary expenditures. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties encountered by companies in the development stage, particularly given that we operate in rapidly evolving markets, have limited financial resources, and face an uncertain economic environment. We may not be successful in addressing such risks and difficulties
 
Results of Operations
 
Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2014 and 2013
 
The following discussion analyzes our results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. The following information should be considered together with our consolidated financial statements for such period and the accompanying notes thereto.
 
-19-
 

 

 
Net Revenue/Net Loss
 
We have not generated significant revenue since our inception.  For the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, we generated sales of $53,260.  For the three months ended September 30, 2014, we showed net loss of $1,713,915 as compared to a gain of $8,210,193 for the three months ended September 30, 2013.  These changes are primarily as a result of the change resulting from valuation adjustment of warrant liability and embedded derivative liability associated with the Investment Agreement entered into on December 31, 2012 and the Subscription Agreement entered into on January 31, 2013.
 
Cost of Sales
 
Cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was $50,160, there was no revenue or cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2013.
 
General and Administrative Expenses
 
General and administrative expenses decreased $148,512 to $83,779 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from $232,291 for the three months ended September 30, 2013.  The Company is attempting to reduce general and administrative expenses while generating revenue in order to develop profitability.  The large reduction is mainly due to the high level of general and administrative costs incurred in the third quarter of 2013 as the Company was initially opening the Washington DC office.
 
Legal and Accounting
 
Legal and accounting fees decreased $54,175 to $56,012 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from $110,187 for the three months ended September 30, 2013.   The decrease in legal and accounting fees between the periods was primarily due to the use of an outside accounting firm during 2013, in addition to legal fees incurred in 2013 related to the development of contracts for potential long-term revenue agreements, guidance in protection of patents, and document review in relation to the Company’s fundraising efforts.
 
Payroll Expenses
 
Payroll expenses were $410,421 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, an increase of $65,882 from $344,539 for the three months ended September 30, 2013.  The increase is primarily related to the additional employees hired as a result of staffing the Washington DC office.
 
Research and Development
 
Research and development expenses were $13,601 and $158,030, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, a decrease of $144,429.  The Company continued its fund raising and limited spending for the 2014 quarter.  The 2013 expense includes a charge for the technology service agreement entered into on December 31, 2012 and the allocation of resources to the research and development effort in 2013.
 
Sales and Marketing
 
Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2014 were $45,256 as compared to $78,225 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, a decrease of $32,969.  The Company has reduced expenditures such as sales related travel and certain advertising programs that it has concluded were not generating revenue.
 
Interest Expense
 
During the three months ended September 30, 2014, the Company incurred interest expense of $83,662 as compared to $42,700 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, an increase of $40,962. The increase in interest expense was a result of an increase in debt related to the requirement for additional financing since June of 2014.

Change in Fair Value of Warrants
 
During the three months ended September 30, 2014, the Company incurred an unrealized loss of on the market value of warrants of $824,283 as compared to a gain of $9,676,165 for the three months ended September 30, 2013.  The change resulted from the valuation of warrants associated with the Investment Agreement entered into on December 31, 2012 and the Subscription Agreement entered into on January 31, 2013.  The values of the warrants have decreased because the stock price has fallen and the difference between the warrant exercise price and the stock price has decreased.
 
Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014 and 2013
 
The following discussion analyzes our results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. The following information should be considered together with our consolidated financial statements for such period and the accompanying notes thereto.
 
Net Revenue/Net Loss
 
For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, we generated $118,408 and $3,140 in net revenues, respectively.  We had a net loss of $1,491,779 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to a net loss of $19,456,004 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  The reduction in loss is primarily as a result of decreases in expenses resulting from 2013 share based compensation and favorable adjustments in the valuation of warrant liability and embedded derivative liability associated with the Investment Agreement entered into on December 31, 2012 and the Subscription Agreement entered into on January 31, 2013 as described below.
 
Cost of Sales
 
For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, we incurred proprietary technology costs of sales of $104,600 and $2,710.  The increase in cost of sales is a result of costs related to the production of pigments used in the generation of revenue.
 
General and Administrative Expenses
 
General and administrative expenses decreased $111,938 to $389,361 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 from $501,299 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  The Company is attempting to reduce general and administrative expenses while generating revenue in order to develop profitability.  The reduction is mainly due to the high level of general and administrative costs incurred in the third quarter of 2013 as the Company was initially opening the Washington DC office.
 
Legal and Accounting
 
Legal and accounting fees increased $88,234 to $366,509 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 from $278,275 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.   The increase in legal and accounting fees was primarily related to the development of contracts for potential long-term revenue agreements, guidance in protection of patents, and document review in relation to the Company’s fundraising efforts.  This activity has slowed in the current quarter and the Company is working to continue to reduce this cost.
 
Payroll Expenses
 
Payroll expenses were $1,912,279 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, a decrease of $7,173,057 from $9,085,336 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  The decrease related primarily to the 2013 stock-based compensation of the Vice Chairman and President and Chief Executive Officer related to their employment agreements in June 2013, which were valued at $7,534,000.

Research and Development
 
Research and development expenses were $889,450 and $470,005, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, an increase of $419,445.  The increase in research and development expenses was due primarily to warrants and shares of stock issued in the quarter ended March 31, 2014 related to the Patent and Technology License Agreement entered into on December 31, 2012.
 
Sales and Marketing
 
Sales and marketing expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 were $170,587 as compared to $182,726 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, a decrease of $12,139.   The Company has reduced expenditures such as sales related travel and certain advertising programs that it has concluded were not generating revenue.
 
Interest Expense
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company incurred interest expense of $107,691 as compared to $116,918 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, a decrease of $9,227. The decrease in interest expense was a result of the conversion and settlement of various notes payable in previous years and quarters offset by the increase in interest expense as a result of an increase in debt related to the requirement for additional financing since June of 2014.
 
 Loss on Extinguishment of Debt
 
The loss from extinguishment of debt was $1,221,875 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $82,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.  The decrease in loss on extinguishment of debt was a result of the excess fair value of the common stock issued over the value of the notes payable, and accrued interest thereon, that were retired in the three months ended June 30, 2013.
 
Change in Fair Value of Warrants
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company incurred an unrealized loss on the market value of warrants of $3,104,209 as compared to a gain of $2,012,289 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.  The change resulted from the valuation of warrants associated with the Investment Agreement entered into on December 31, 2012 and the Subscription Agreement entered into on January 31, 2013.  The values of the warrants decreased because the stock price has fallen and the difference between the warrant exercise price and the stock price has decreased.
 
Fair Value of Warrants in Excess of Consideration for Convertible Preferred Stock
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company incurred an unrealized loss on the market value of warrants that were issued in excess of consideration for convertible preferred stock of $2,995,791 as compared to $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.  The loss resulted from the valuation of warrants associated with the Subscription Agreement entered into on January 31, 2013.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
As of September 30, 2014, we had cash on hand of $3,606.
 
Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 decreased to $1,932,367 from $2,008,642 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, a decrease of $76,275. The decrease in net cash used in operating activities was primarily as a result of decrease in cash used on prepaid expenses and increases in accounts payable, offset by cash used in operations and the production of inventory.
 
Net cash used in investing activities, consisting of equipment purchases and patent costs, was $32,527 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.  The company has not undertaken additional patent activity during 2014.  The company is attempting to delay purchases of equipment until cash flow improves.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $650,000 and $1,262,919, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.  The net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 relates to $1 million from the sale of the Company’s preferred stock and a warrant, and $262,919 in proceeds received from the issuance of common stock and exercise of stock options.  The $650,000 of cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 related to short-term bridge loans from investors.
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company’s operational resources were used primarily to fund general and administrative expenses, hire employees and expand the continuing sales and marketing program. 
 
As we have not realized significant revenues since our inception, we have financed our operations through public and private offerings of debt and equity securities.  We do not currently maintain a line of credit or term loan with any commercial bank or other financial institution.  
 
On June 5, 2014, we entered into an exclusive agreement with Merriman Capital, Inc. to raise up to $5 million in additional capital.
 
Also, on July 31, 2014, we announced that we signed a 10-year, $7 million contract with a Mexican gaming company to license our VerifyMe™ Identity Services.   It is expected that activity will begin in the fourth quarter of 2014 and that 1/10 of the revenue will be generated annually.
 
Since our inception, we have focused on developing and implementing our business plan.  Our business plan is dependent on our ability to raise capital through private placements of our common stock and/or preferred stock, through the possible exercise of outstanding options and warrants, through debt financing and/or through a future public offering of our securities. There is no assurance that we will raise sufficient capital in order to meet our goals of implementing a sales and marketing effort to introduce our products.  
 
Our existing cash resources will not be sufficient to sustain our operations during the next twelve months, and we may need to raise additional funds.  We intend to raise such financing through private placements and/or the sale of debt and equity securities.  The issuance of additional equity could result in dilution to our existing stockholders.  If we are unable to obtain additional funds when they are needed or if such funds cannot be obtained on terms favorable to us, we may be unable to execute our business plan or pay our costs and expenses as they are incurred, which could have a material, adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
Even if we are successful in raising sufficient capital, our ability to continue in business as a viable going concern can only be achieved when our revenues reach a level that sustains our business operations. While it is impossible to predict the amount of revenues, if any, that we may receive from our products, we presently believe, based solely on our internal projections, that we will generate revenues sufficient to fund our planned business operations if the products are marketed effectively in accordance with our plans.  There can be no assurance that we will raise sufficient proceeds, or any proceeds, for us to implement fully our proposed business plan.  Moreover, there can be no assurance that even if our products are marketed effectively, we will generate revenues sufficient to fund our operations.  In either situation, we may not be able to continue our operations and our business might fail.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
As of September 30, 2014, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
Our financial statements are impacted by the accounting policies used and the estimates and assumptions made by management during their preparation. We have identified below the accounting policies that are of particular importance in the presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows and which require the application of significant judgment by management.
 
-23-
 

 

 
Stock-based Compensation
 
We account for stock-based compensation under the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 718,  Compensation—Stock Compensation, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based awards made to employees and directors based on estimated fair values on the grant date. We estimate the fair value of stock-based awards on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model.  The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods using the straight-line method.
 
We account for stock-based compensation awards to non-employees in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees   (“ASC 505-50”). Under ASC 505-50, we determine the fair value of the warrants or stock-based compensation awards granted as either the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.
 
All issuances of stock options or other equity instruments to non-employees as consideration for goods or services received by the Company are accounted for based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued. Any stock options issued to non-employees are recorded as an expense and additional paid-in capital in stockholders’ equity over the applicable service periods using variable accounting through the vesting dates based on the fair value of the options at the end of each period.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
In accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition (Codified in FASB ASC 605), we recognize revenue when (i) persuasive evidence of a customer or distributor arrangement exists, (ii) a retailer, distributor or wholesaler receives the goods and acceptance occurs, (iii) the price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability of the sales revenues is reasonably assured. Subject to these criteria, the Company recognizes revenue from product sales, consisting mainly of pigments and penlights, upon shipment to the customer.  Royalty revenue is recognized upon receipt of notification from a customer that the Company’s product has been used in the customer’s production process.
 
License fee revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the license agreement.
