FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
Statements made in this Form 10-K that are not historical or current facts are “forward-looking statements” made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These statements often can be identified by the use of terms, and words or phrases with similar meaning, such as “may”, “will”, “expect”, “believe”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “approximate”, “plan” or “continue”, or the negative thereof. Forward-looking statements include statements about our anticipated or future business and operations, our business plan and the prospects or outlook for our future business and financial performance. Bonds.com Group, Inc. (“we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company”) intends that such forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbors for such statements. The Company wishes to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Any forward-looking statements represent management’s current expectations and assumptions. However, forward-looking statements, and such expectations and assumptions, are subject to risks, uncertainties and important factors beyond the control of the Company that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from historical results of operations and events and those presently anticipated or projected. These factors include adverse economic conditions, entry of new and stronger competitors, inadequate capital, unexpected costs and the other risks, uncertainties and factors set forth in the “Risk Factors” section of this annual report and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company disclaims any obligation subsequently to revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statement or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.

Overview
 
Bonds.com Group Inc.’s wholly-owned subsidiary Bonds.com, Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company”), a Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) registered broker-dealer and Alternative Trading System (“ATS”), offers access to live liquidity and execution in fixed income securities through BondsPRO.  BondsPRO is a new business model for odd-lot fixed-income trading which effectively establishes connectivity between traders and provides live and executable order flow, delivered through multiple technology interfaces.
 
BondsPRO
 
BondsPRO provides professional traders and large institutional investors live prices on U.S. corporate and emerging market debt issues from contributing counterparties. BondsPRO posts live, anonymous, and executable orders on a single bond or on a list basis, and permits price negotiation. Its all-to-all connectivity allows supply to meet demand, thereby increasing efficiency and reducing spread. We are a neutral counterparty to all trades, acting as a riskless principal.
 
The BondsPRO platform is an alternative trading system for trading odd-lot fixed-income securities. Users are able to customize screens and utilize dynamic filtering capabilities to quickly and easily select and view only those market areas that meet their trading criteria. The connectivity between traders on the platform supports a broad range of liquidity and execution opportunities.  Users can access the system and submit orders via a variety of mechanisms, including Application Programming Interface (“API”), BondsPRO’s proprietary GUI, Bloomberg ETOMS, and Microsoft Excel.
 
The BondsPRO platform provides users the ability to obtain real-time executable bids or offers on thousands of bond offerings sourced directly from broker-dealers and other end users. Unlike other electronic trading platforms that charge subscription fees, access charges, ticket fees, or commissions in order to generate revenue, our model allows us to generate revenue through mark-ups or mark-downs on secondary market securities.  BondsPRO is available free of charge, and is based on an “aggressor pays” fee structure.
 
BondsPRO provides a direct channel between institutional clients and the trading desks at our participating broker-dealers. We expect this will reduce sales and marketing costs, and eliminate layers of intermediaries between dealers and end investors.

Corporate Bonds
 
Corporate debt securities are obligations issued by corporations for capital and operating cash flow purposes. Corporate debt is issued by a wide variety of corporations involved in the financial, industrial and service-related industries. Most corporate bonds trade in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market, which is not centrally located. It is comprised of brokers and dealers nationwide who trade debt securities over the telephone or electronically. We believe participants are increasingly utilizing electronic transaction systems to assist in the trade execution process. The OTC market is much larger than the exchange markets, and the vast majority of bond transactions, even those involving exchange-listed issues, take place in the OTC market. Investors in corporate bonds typically include large financial institutions, such as pension funds, endowments, mutual funds, insurance companies and banks. Additionally, individuals of various financial means also invest in corporate bonds.
 
New issues of high-grade corporate Bonds increased to approximately $788 billion in 2011.
 
Emerging Market Debt
 
We believe investors have been drawn to the Emerging Markets by high yields and high-growth potential as well as by a general market trend toward positive economic and political reforms and improving economic performance in many Emerging Market countries. Emerging Market debt trading volumes remained relatively flat in 2011. Market participants reported $6.506 trillion in overall Emerging Market debt trading in 2011.  This represents a 4% decrease from the $6.765 trillion reported in 2010. 
 
Institutional Investors
 
The primary institutional investors in fixed income securities include 1940 Act Institutional Investors and Fund Management Firms, large private and public pension funds, traditional buy side institutions with substantial assets under management (such as mutual fund companies), hedge funds, corporations, insurance companies, and government, educational and not-for-profit organizations. These investors actively seek alternative means to access enhanced product offerings, pricing efficiency, and improved service. Until recently most institutional investors had to satisfy their fixed income securities trading requirements by executing trades with regional broker-dealers over the telephone. Based on our management’s fixed-income trading experience, we believe that several of these regional brokers offer limited proprietary securities inventory, as well as limited research and analysis for their institutional investor clients. We believe that institutional investors are an underserved segment of the fixed income marketplace, and that they have been, for the most part, unable to efficiently access the liquidity provided by other platforms because of the restrictive costs associated with such marketplaces offered to date.
 
Strategy
 
Our objective is to provide the market leading electronic trading platform for fixed-income securities connecting broker-dealers and institutional investors more easily and efficiently.
 
We intend to capitalize on the long-term growth in fixed-income securities trading by providing traders, broker-dealers and institutional investors a variety of trading platform products that, we believe, will transform a trading market that historically has been conducted in a decentralized and inefficient manner.
 
Our growth strategy includes expanding the types of securities that can be traded on our BondsPRO electronic trading platform as well as increasing the number of broker-dealers and institutional investors that utilize our platform.
 
We are also contemplating regional expansion to include Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East. These markets will be very important to the Company for both dollar and non-dollar denominated offerings. The expansion will be via a direct presence in these markets or in the form of strategic relationships with regional broker-dealers.
 
We plan to supplement our growth by entering into strategic alliances that will enable us to enter new markets, provide new products, or otherwise enhance the value of our trading platform to our clients. We intend to further deploy our electronic trading platform by expanding our sales staff both regionally and internationally.

Products and Services
 
Overview – BondsPRO
 
BondsPRO has been developed primarily for the sophisticated institutional investor and trader. The platform provides users a fully interactive, anonymous, electronic market place for transacting a diverse range of fixed income products. Securities available on BondsPRO include corporate bonds and emerging markets. The higher-level functionality that has been added to the BondsPRO platform includes: depth of book visibility, live TRACE integration, and proprietary scatter graph technology.
 
Service and Support
 
Our goal is to provide a high level of support for all of our clients. For clients requiring more personalized attention, customer service is available via e-mail and telephone. Client e-mail inquiries are routed by managers to the appropriate business area for timely and accurate response. Communications with clients are reviewed and critiqued for quality assurance.
 
We frequently update our technology to maximize the client’s experience. Client questions will be tracked and, if repeated, analyzed to determine how best to clarify the point or answer the inquiry during the client’s online experience. This analysis will be used to improve and enhance our website.
 
Source of Revenue
 
Fixed Income Securities
 
In 2011, we generated approximately $4.3 million in revenue, a 59% increase from 2010.  This increase is due primarily to the growth in the number of new clients and their attendant trading activity as well as increased trading activity within existing clients.

We believe our business plan will allow us to continually increase our revenue levels until we become profitable. Unlike other fixed-income trading platforms, we do not currently, nor do we intend to charge fees to contributing dealers for access to BondsPRO and the liquidity provided by our client base. We do not charge monthly subscription fees, ticket fees, access fees or set-up charges to any of our investor clients. Instead, we expect to generate revenues from mark-ups on secondary market securities relating to trading of fixed income securities executed on our electronic trading platforms. Mark-ups on securities, those traded will be based on various terms of such securities, including (1) maturity date; (2) asset class; (3) other financial terms of the securities; and (4) then current market conditions. We believe that our sources of revenue differentiate our business model from other electronic trading platforms and will result in achieving greater profitability for each trade executed, although there is no assurance that our clients will fully accept our pricing method or that it will result in greater profitability than other pricing methods employed by our competitors.

Key Relationships
 
InterDealer Information Technologies, LLC
 
We license software and related intellectual property comprising the bulk of the technology behind our BondsPRO platform from InterDealer Information Technologies and its affiliates (collectively, “InterDealer”) pursuant to a Software License, Hosting, Joint Marketing and Services Agreement, as amended (the “InterDealer Agreement”). The InterDealer Agreement requires us to pay a monthly licensing fee equal to the greater of a fixed monthly dollar amount or a fixed percentage of the revenues generated through the Company’s trading platform operated using InterDealer software and intellectual property. Additionally, we reimburse InterDealer for the fees for third party services provided to the BondsPRO platform. InterDealer also maintains and houses our servers and related hardware.
 
We are heavily reliant on the software, intellectual property and other services provided by InterDealer.
 
The foregoing description of the InterDealer Agreement is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by the agreement and amendments thereto themselves, which are referenced as exhibits to this Annual Report.
 
UBS Securities LLC

We are parties to a strategic relationship with UBS Securities LLC pursuant to which we provide them with a “white label” version of our BondsPRO platform.  Revenue generated through this relationship accounted for approximately 13% of our consolidated revenue during 2011.
 
Pershing, LLC
 
We are party to a clearing and custody agreement with Pershing, LLC (“Pershing”), a major back office clearing and custody firm and subsidiary of The Bank of New York, to provide trade clearing and customer relationship management (“CRM”) software for our clients. Through our relationship with Pershing, we access sophisticated and proprietary technology that automates traditionally labor-intensive securities transactions.  Pershing provides execution, clearing and business enhancement services for broker-dealers nationwide and abroad.
 
Competition
 
The market for online trading services in fixed-income securities is rapidly evolving and highly competitive. Our direct competitors in the online marketplace include larger broker-dealers and smaller “niche-market” online dealers. We also expect to encounter competition from full commission brokerage firms as well as mutual fund sponsors, including banks, other organizations that provide online brokerage services, and private label fixed income trading platforms. Our competitive success will depend to a large degree on the overall customer experience that we are able to deliver. Although competition may increase if larger online brokers become more aggressive in marketing, we believe we will maintain a competitive advantage due to our branding, our heavy focus on fixed income trading, the strength and flexibility of our platform and our revenue generation model. We believe that we will be able to offer highly competitive pricing for all securities traded and we expect to differentiate ourselves with our pricing model, which does not charge for the services and tools that we provide.
 
Competition in the online marketplace has also intensified due to the following factors:
  
There has been over the past several years and continues to be consolidation of three types of services that traditionally were offered separately: online trading services, real-time market data services, and trading analysis software products and services. Our electronic trading platforms embrace this consolidation by offering all three of these services in a fully-integrated, seamless manner.
   
Consolidation is occurring in the four major online execution markets for active traders - equities, equity options, futures and forex - meaning that, contrary to specializing in offering services for only one of those market instruments, more and more firms are offering or plan to offer their customers three or four of those services. By focusing mainly on providing online trading services for fixed income securities, we hope to become the market leader in this underserved, and potentially highly significant category, but there can be no assurance that our competitors will not add fixed income securities to their trading platforms which would directly compete with our business.
   
As a result of price pressure, unused infrastructure capacity at the largest online brokerage firms, and the desire of the larger firms to acquire sophisticated electronic trading technologies, there have been numerous acquisitions in the online financial trading sector, mostly by larger firms that are seeking to increase their ability to compete on both quality and price.
 
 
10

 
 
We believe our ability to compete will depend upon many factors both within and outside our control. These factors include: regulation; price pressure; the timing and market acceptance of new products, services and enhancements developed by us and our competitors; our ability to design and support efficient, materially error-free Internet-based systems; economic and market conditions, such as recession and volatility; the size of the active investor market today and in the future; the extent to which institutional investors are willing to use electronic trading platforms offered by firms that have traditionally served mostly individual customers; product and service functionality; data availability and cost; clearing costs; ease of use; reliability; customer service and support; and sales and marketing decisions and efforts. We also believe that competitive pressures among the large dealers will inhibit the development of an inventory aggregation model, such as BondsPRO, for common use by these large dealers. We believe that larger dealers are normally unwilling to cooperate and share offerings and market making for fixed income securities.
 
We currently face direct competition from other companies that focus primarily on online trading of fixed income securities, including MarketAxess Holdings Inc. and TD Ameritrade Inc., both of which are publicly-traded companies, and The Municenter LLC, Bond Desk Group LLC and TradeWeb, LLC, all privately-held companies. Additionally, there are several other publicly-traded and privately-held companies which provide online trading platforms, including providers of direct-access order execution services. Many of our existing and potential competitors, which include large, online discount and traditional national brokerages and futures commission merchants, and financial institutions that are focusing more closely on online services, including electronic trading services for active traders, have longer operating histories, significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources, greater name recognition and a larger installed customer base than we do. Further, there is the risk that larger financial institutions which offer online brokerage services as only one of many financial services may decide to use extremely low commission pricing or free trades as a “loss leader” to acquire and accumulate customer accounts and assets to derive interest income and income from their other financial services. We do not offer other financial services, and have no plans to do so; therefore, such pricing techniques, should they become common in our industry, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and business model.
 
Generally, competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies or changes in customer requirements or to devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products and services. There can be no assurance that our existing or potential competitors will not develop products and services comparable or superior to those developed and offered by us or adapt more quickly to new technologies, evolving industry trends or changing customer requirements, or that we will be able to timely and adequately complete the implementation, and appropriately maintain and enhance the operation, of our business model. Recently, some of our larger competitors have been adding or emphasizing rule-based or strategy trading products and features to the active trader market. Although we believe it is less likely to occur in the fixed income trading market due to its more fragmented nature, increased competition could result in price reductions, reduced margins, failure to obtain any significant market share, or loss of market share, any of which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully against current or future competitors, or that competitive pressures faced by us will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
Technology
 
The BondsPRO electronic trading platform operates using technology licensed from InterDealer. For more information on our relationship with InterDealer Securities, please see Business – Key Relationships elsewhere in this Annual Report.
 
Based on agreements with InterDealer, costs incurred for utilizing the licensed technology are paid via monthly licensing fees. It is expected that such licensing fees will increase over time.

Intellectual Property
 
General
 
Our intellectual property is critical to our success and ability to compete, and if we fail to protect our intellectual property rights adequately, our competitors might gain access to our technology. We will rely primarily on a combination of copyright, trademark and trade secret laws in the United States and other jurisdictions, as well as license agreements, third-party non-disclosure and other agreements and other contractual provisions and technical measures to protect our intellectual property rights. We attempt to negotiate beneficial intellectual property ownership provisions in our contracts and also require employees, consultants, advisors and collaborators to enter into confidentiality agreements in order to protect the confidentiality of our proprietary information.
 
Domain Name
 
We believe that the “Bonds.com” domain name assists with the marketing of our business by directing potential clients to our website. Under current domain name registration practices, no one else can obtain an identical domain name, but someone might obtain a similar name, or the identical name with a different suffix (e.g. .org) or with a country designation. While we may consider seeking trademark registration of our “Bonds.com” domain name, the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) in the matter In re CyberFinancial.Net, Inc. in August 2002, held that bonds.com is generic and cannot be registered as a trademark. As a result, it is likely that we would not be able to obtain a trademark registration with the USPTO to protect our domain name under U.S. trademark laws.
 
Regulation
 
The securities industry is subject to extensive regulation under federal and state law. In general, broker-dealers are required to register with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and to be members of FINRA or the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). Our broker-dealer and investment advisor subsidiaries are subject to certain regulations promulgated under the Exchange Act and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, respectively. These regulations establish, among other things, minimum net capital requirements for our broker-dealer subsidiary. We are also subject to regulation under various state laws in all 50 states and the District of Columbia and various US Territories, including registration requirements.

Bonds.com, Inc. is a broker-dealer registered with FINRA, the SEC, and all states that require registration. It is also a member of the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (“MSRB”) and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”). As a member firm of FINRA, Bonds.com, Inc. is subject to all rules and regulations of FINRA, MSRB, SEC, and all states where it is registered. All sales representatives are, likewise, registered with FINRA and the states that require registration. All transactions in corporate bonds and municipal bonds are reportable to FINRA and MSRB, respectively. Bonds.com, Inc. is currently required to file monthly FOCUS Reports with FINRA and is subject to minimum net capital requirements on a continuous basis.
 
Our disclosed trading system, BondsPRO, is subjected to regulation as an alternative trading system under Regulation ATS.  Under Regulation ATS, the Company is required to follow additional reporting obligations and other limitations in the conduct of our business.  Being regulated as an alternative trading system subject to Regulation ATS includes following requirements related to, but not limited to, access, fees, operating standards and record keeping.
 
Additionally, we use the Internet as a distribution channel to provide services to our clients. A number of regulatory agencies have recently adopted regulations regarding customer privacy and the use of customer information by service providers. Additional laws and regulations relating to the Internet may be adopted in the future, including regulations regarding the pricing, taxation, content and quality of products and services delivered over the Internet. Complying with these laws and regulations is expensive and time consuming and could limit our ability to use the Internet as a distribution channel.
 
Employees
 
As of March 31, 2012, we had 28 full-time employees.  Of these, 3 are executives with day-to-day management responsibilities, 17 are Relationship Managers and desk personnel who function as marketers and business account managers to assist us in acquiring and retaining clients, 8 are administrative staff covering operations, compliance, financial, technology and support functions.  We consider our relationships with our employees to be good and have not experienced any interruptions of operations due to employee disagreements.

Risks Related to Our Business
 
Significant doubt exists concerning our ability to continue as a going concern
 
The Company has five years of operating history. We have had operating losses, since operations began, and had a working capital deficiency of approximately $6.0 million, an accumulated deficit of approximately $45.0 million and a stockholders deficiency of approximately $5.0 million at December 31, 2011, all of which raises doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. We expect to continue to incur operating losses, in the aggregate and on a per share basis. There is no assurance that we will be able to achieve or sustain positive cash flows or profitability and we may incur losses in future periods. If we are not able to achieve or sustain positive cash flows or profitability, our stock price may decline. Our independent auditors have expressed substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. See Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition - Going Concern elsewhere in this Annual Report.

We face substantial competition that could reduce or prevent us from expanding our market share and harm our financial performance.
 
The fixed-income securities industry generally, and the electronic financial services markets in which we operate in particular, are highly competitive, and we expect competition to intensify in the future. We will continue to compete with bond trading conducted directly between broker-dealers and their institutional and individual investor clients over the telephone, e-mail or electronically. In addition, our current and prospective competitors are numerous and include:
   
traditional regional or primary dealer bond sales services;
   
other multi-dealer trading companies;
   
market data and information vendors;
   
securities and futures exchanges;
   
inter-dealer brokerage firms;
   
electronic communications networks;
   
technology, software, information and media or other companies that have existing commercial relationships with broker-dealers or institutional and individual customers and investors; and
   
other electronic marketplaces that are not currently in the securities business.
 
Many of our current and potential competitors are more established and substantially larger than we are, and have substantially greater market presence, as well as greater financial, engineering, technical, marketing and other resources. These competitors may aggressively augment their business and pricing model to enter into market segments in which we have a position today, potentially subsidizing any losses with profits from trading in other fixed-income or equity securities. In addition, many of our competitors offer a wider range of services, have broader name recognition and have larger customer bases than we do. Some of them may be able to respond more quickly to new or evolving opportunities, technologies and customer requirements than we can and may be able to undertake more extensive promotional activities.
 
Any combination of our competitors may enter into joint ventures or consortia to provide services similar to those we provide. Current and new competitors can launch new platforms at a relatively low cost. Others may acquire the capabilities necessary to compete with us through acquisitions. We expect that we will potentially compete with a variety of companies with respect to each product or service we offer. If we are not able to compete successfully in the future, our business, financial condition and results of operations would be adversely affected.
 
 
14

 
 
Neither the sustainability of our current level of business nor our historical growth can be assured. Even if we do experience growth, we cannot assure you that we will grow profitably.
 
The use of our BondsPRO electronic trading platform is relatively new. The success of our business strategy depends, in part, on our ability to maintain and expand the network of broker-dealers and liquidity providers as well as institutional and individual investor clients that use our electronic trading platform. Our business strategy also depends on increasing the use of our platform by these clients. Individuals at broker-dealers or institutional investors may have conflicting interests, which may discourage their use of our platform.
 
Our plans to pursue other opportunities for revenue growth are at an early stage, and we cannot assure you that our plans will be successful or that we will actually proceed with them as described.
 
Because we have a limited operating history, it is difficult to evaluate our business and prospects.
 
Our current trading platform, BondsPRO, was launched in early 2010. As a result, we have only a limited operating history from which you can evaluate our business and our prospects. Also, as we evaluate and adjust our business strategy and focus to meet the demands of the market, there is no assurance our efforts will be successful. We expect to encounter risks and difficulties frequently experienced by early-stage companies in rapidly evolving industries, such as the electronic financial services industry. These risks and difficulties that are specific to our business or the electronic financial services industry are described throughout the Risk Factors in this Annual Report.
 
If we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks or in executing our business strategy, our business, financial condition and results of operations may suffer.
 
Decreases in trading volumes in the fixed-income markets generally or on our platform in particular could harm our business and profitability.
 
We may experience decreases in overall trading volume in certain periods, and may experience decreases in trading volume in the future. Declines in the overall volume of fixed-income securities trading and in market liquidity generally, as well as declines in interest rate volatility, result in lower revenues from trading mark-ups for trades executed on our electronic trading platform.
 
Likewise, decreases in volume in the segments of the fixed-income trading markets in which we operate, or shifts in trading volume to segments of clients which we have not penetrated, could result in lower trading volume on our platform and, consequently, lower income from mark ups and mark-downs. During periods of increased volatility in credit markets, the use of electronic trading platforms by market participants may decrease dramatically as institutional and individual investors may seek to obtain additional information during the trade process through conversations with broker-dealers. In addition, during rapidly moving markets, broker-dealers and liquidity providers may be less likely to post prices electronically.
 
A decline in trading volumes on our platform for any reason may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
Our BondsPRO fee plans are different than those used by other fixed income electronic trading platforms and their impact may be difficult to evaluate.
 
Our BondsPRO fee plans, which charge clients a nominal markup on each transaction rather than a monthly subscription fee or transaction fee are different than the fee plans currently utilized by other alternative trading systems. Since these fee plans are relatively new, we have not yet had the ability to evaluate their market acceptance and economic viability. In addition, we, from time to time, may introduce new mark-up plans or commission-based plans, which may include different fee structures than currently addressed in our business plan. We cannot assure you that our BondsPRO fee plans will be fully accepted by our broker-dealer, institutional and/or individual clients or that these clients will accept any new fee plans adopted by us in the future. We also cannot assure that any new fee plans we may adopt in the future will result in an increase in the volume of transactions effected on our platform or that our revenues will increase as a result of the implementation of any such plans. Furthermore, resistance to our BondsPRO fee plans and/or any new fee plans by more than a nominal portion of our clients could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
 
15

 
 
We are exposed to risks resulting from non-performance by counterparties to transactions executed between our clients in which we act as an intermediary in matching back-to-back trades.
 
We execute transactions between our clients and liquidity providers through our subsidiary Bonds.com Inc. We act as an intermediary in these transactions by serving as a trading counterparty to both the buyer and the seller in matching back-to-back trades, which are then settled through another brokerage firm that provides services to us in respect of clearing these trades. Settlement typically occurs within one to three trading days after the trade date. Cash settlement of the transaction occurs upon receipt or delivery of the underlying instrument that was traded.
 
We are exposed to credit risk in our role as a trading counterparty to liquidity providers and institutional and individual clients executing trades. We are exposed to the risk that third parties that owe us money, securities or other assets will not perform their obligations. These parties may default on their obligations to us due to bankruptcy, lack of liquidity, operational failure or other reasons. Adverse movements in the prices of securities that are the subject of these transactions can increase our risk. Where the unmatched position or failure to deliver is prolonged there may also be regulatory capital charges required to be taken by us. There can be no assurance that our policies and procedures will effectively mitigate our exposure to credit risk.
 
If we experience significant fluctuations in our operating results or fail to meet revenues and earnings expectations, our stock price may fall rapidly and without advance notice.
 
Due to our limited operating history, our evolving business model and the unpredictability of our industry, we may experience significant fluctuations in our operating results. We base our current and future expense levels and our investment plans on estimates of future revenues and future rate of growth. Our expenses and investments are, to a large extent, fixed and we expect that these expenses will increase in the future. We may not be able to adjust our spending quickly enough if our revenues fall short of our expectations.
 
Our revenues and operating results may also fluctuate due to other factors, including:
 
our ability to retain or attract new broker-dealers, liquidity providers and institutional and individual investor clients and attract new broker-dealers and institutional investor clients;
   
our ability to drive an increase in use of our electronic trading platform by new and existing broker-dealer and institutional investor clients;
   
changes in our pricing policies;
   
the introduction of new features on our electronic trading platform;
   
the effectiveness of our sales force;
   
new product and service introductions by our competitors;
   
fluctuations in overall market trading volume;
   
technical difficulties or interruptions in our service;
   
general economic conditions in our geographic markets;
   
additional investment in our personnel, services or operations; and
   
regulatory compliance costs.
 
As a result, our operating results may fluctuate significantly, which could result in decreases in our stock price.
 
 
16

 
 
We may not be able to introduce enhanced versions of our electronic trading platform, new services and/or service enhancements in a timely or acceptable manner, which could harm our competitive position.
 
Our business environment is characterized by rapid technological change, changing and increasingly sophisticated client demands and evolving industry standards. Our future will depend on our ability to develop and introduce new features to, and new versions of, our electronic trading platform. The success of new features and versions depends on several factors, including the timely completion, introduction and market acceptance of the features or versions. In addition, the market for our electronic trading platform may be limited if prospective clients require customized features or functions that we are unable or unwilling to provide. If we are unable to anticipate and respond to the demand for new services, products and technologies and develop new features and enhanced versions of our electronic trading platform that achieve widespread levels of market acceptance on a timely and cost-effective basis, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
  
As we enter new markets, we may not be able to successfully attract clients and adapt our technology and marketing strategy for use in those markets.
 
We cannot assure you that we would be able to successfully adapt our software and technology for use in other markets. Even if we were able to adapt our software and technology, we cannot assure you that we would be able to attract clients and compete successfully in any such new markets. We cannot assure you that our marketing efforts or our pursuit of any of these opportunities would be successful. If these efforts were not successful, we could realize less than expected earnings, which in turn could result in a decrease in the market value of our common stock. Furthermore, these efforts could divert management attention or inefficiently utilize our resources.
 
Rapid technological changes may render our technology obsolete or decrease the attractiveness of our products and services to our broker-dealer and institutional and individual investor clients.
 
We must continue to enhance and improve our electronic trading platform. The electronic financial services industry is characterized by increasingly complex systems and infrastructures and new business models. If new industry standards and practices emerge, our existing technology, systems and electronic trading platforms may become obsolete, or our existing business may be harmed. Our future success will depend on our ability to:
 
enhance our existing products and services;
   
develop and/or license new products and technologies that address the increasingly sophisticated and varied needs of our broker-dealer, liquidity provider and institutional and individual investor clients and prospective clients; and
   
respond to technological advances and emerging industry standards and practices on a cost-effective and timely basis.
 
Developing our electronic trading platforms and other technologies entails significant technical and business risks. We may use new technologies ineffectively or we may fail to adapt our electronic trading platforms, information databases and network infrastructure to broker-dealer, liquidity provider or institutional and individual investor client requirements or emerging industry standards. For example, our electronic trading platform functionality that allows searches and inquiries on bond pricing and availability is a critical part of our service, and it may become out-of-date or insufficient from our broker-dealer clients, liquidity providers’ or institutional and individual investor clients’ perspective and in relation to the inquiry functionality of our competitors’ systems. If we face material delays in introducing new services, products and enhancements, our broker-dealer, liquidity provider and institutional and individual investor clients may forego the use of our products and use those of our competitors.
 
Further, the adoption of new Internet, networking or telecommunications technologies may require us to devote substantial resources to modify and adapt our services. We cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully implement new technologies or adapt our proprietary or licensed technology and transaction-processing systems to client requirements or emerging industry standards. We cannot assure you that we will be able to respond in a timely manner to changing market conditions or client requirements.
 
 
17

 

 
We depend on third-party suppliers for key products and services.
 
We rely on a number of third parties to supply elements of our trading, information and other systems, as well as computers and other equipment, and related support and maintenance. We cannot assure you that any of these providers will be able to continue to provide these services in an efficient, cost-effective manner, if at all, or that they will be able to adequately expand their services to meet our needs. If we are unable to make alternative arrangements for the supply of critical products or services in the event of a malfunction of a product or an interruption in or the cessation of service by an existing service provider, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
 
In particular, we depend on two third-party vendors for our bond reference database, and we rely on InterDealer for the technology and hardware that operate our BondsPRO trading platform. Disruptions in the services provided by those third parties to us, including as a result of their inability or unwillingness to continue to license products that are critical to the success of our business at favorable terms or at all, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
We also rely, and expect in the future to continue to rely, on third parties for various computer and communications systems, such as telephone companies, online service providers, data processors, and software and hardware vendors. Other third parties provide, for instance, our data center, telecommunications access lines and significant computer systems and software licensing, support and maintenance services. Any interruption in these or other third-party services or deterioration in their performance could impair the quality of our service. Although we do not currently have any reason for concern, we cannot be certain of the financial viability of all of the third parties on which we rely.
 
We license software from third parties, much of which is integral to our electronic trading platforms and our business. We also hire contractors to assist in the development, quality assurance testing and maintenance of our electronic trading platform and other systems. Continued access to these licensors and contractors on favorable contract terms or access to alternative software and information technology contractors is important to our operations. Adverse changes in any of these relationships could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
We attempt to negotiate favorable pricing, service, confidentiality and intellectual property ownership or licensing and other terms in our contracts with our service providers. These contracts usually have multi-year terms. However, there is no guarantee that these contracts will not terminate and that we will be able to negotiate successor agreements or agreements with alternate service providers on competitive terms. Further, the existing agreements may bind us for a period of time to terms and technology that become obsolete as our industry and our competitors advance their own operations and contracts.
 
Our success depends on maintaining the integrity of our electronic trading platform, systems and infrastructure; our computer systems may suffer failures, capacity constraints and business interruptions that could increase our operating costs and cause us to lose clients.
 
In order to be successful, we must provide reliable, real-time access to our electronic trading platform for our broker-dealer, liquidity provider and institutional and individual investor clients. If our electronic trading platform is hampered by slow delivery times, unreliable service or insufficient capacity, our broker-dealer, liquidity provider and institutional and individual investor clients may decide to stop using our platform, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
As our operations grow in both size and scope, we will need to improve and upgrade our electronic trading platform and infrastructure to accommodate potential increases in order message volume and trading volume, the trading practices of new and existing clients, regulatory changes and the development of new and enhanced trading platform features, functionalities and ancillary products and services. The expansion of our electronic trading platform and infrastructure has required, and will continue to require, substantial financial, operational and technical resources. These resources will typically need to be committed well in advance of any actual increase in trading volumes and order messages. We cannot assure you that our estimates of future trading volumes and order messages will be accurate or that our systems will always be able to accommodate actual trading volumes and order messages without failure or degradation of performance. Furthermore, we use new technologies to upgrade our established systems, and the development of these new technologies also entails technical, financial and business risks. We cannot assure you that we will successfully implement new technologies or adapt our existing electronic trading platform, technology and systems to the requirements of our broker-dealer, liquidity provider and institutional and individual investor clients or to emerging industry standards. The inability of our electronic trading platform to accommodate increasing trading volume and order messages would also constrain our ability to expand our business.
 
 
18

 
 
Our trading system could experience operational failures which would be extremely detrimental to our business.
 
We cannot assure you that we will not experience systems failures. Our electronic trading platform, computer and communication systems and other operations are vulnerable to damage, interruption or failure as a result of, among other things:
 
an interruption in service from InterDealer;
   
irregular or heavy use of our electronic trading platform during peak trading times or at times of unusual market volatility;
   
disruptions of data flow to or from our system;
   
power or telecommunications failures, hardware failures or software errors;
   
human error;
   
computer viruses, acts of vandalism or sabotage (and resulting potential lapses in security), both internal and external;
   
natural disasters, fires, floods or other acts of God;
   
acts of war or terrorism or other armed hostility; and
   
loss of support services from third parties, including those to whom we outsource aspects of our computer infrastructure critical to our business.
 
In the event that any of our systems, or those of our third-party providers, fail or operate slowly, it may cause any one or more of the following to occur:
 
unanticipated disruptions in service to our clients;
   
slower response times or delays in our clients’ trade execution;
   
incomplete or inaccurate accounting, recording or processing of trades;
   
financial losses and liabilities to clients;
   
litigation or other claims against us, including formal complaints to industry regulatory organizations; and
   
regulatory inquiries, proceedings or sanctions.
 
Any system failure or other circumstance that causes an interruption in service or decreases the responsiveness of our service, including failures caused by client error or misuse of our systems, could damage our reputation, business and brand name and lead our broker-dealer, liquidity provider and institutional and individual investor clients to decrease or cease their use of our electronic trading platform.
 
In these circumstances, our back-up systems or disaster recovery plans may not be adequate. Similarly, although many of our contracts with our service providers require them to have disaster recovery plans, we cannot be certain that these will be adequate or implemented properly. In addition, our business interruption insurance may not adequately compensate us for losses that may occur.
 
We also cannot assure you that we or our third party providers have sufficient personnel to properly respond to system problems. We internally support and maintain many of our computer systems and networks, including those underlying our electronic trading platform and website. Our failure to monitor or maintain these systems and networks or, if necessary, to find a replacement for this technology in a timely and cost-effective manner would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
 
19

 
 
 If our security measures are breached and unauthorized access is obtained to our electronic trading platform, broker-dealers and institutional investors may become hesitant to use, or reduce or stop their use of our trading platform.
 
Our electronic trading platform involves the storage and transmission of our clients’ proprietary information as well as the transfer of that information to our clearing agent. The secure transmission of confidential information over public networks is a critical element of our operations. Security breaches could expose us to a risk of loss of this information, litigation and possible liability. If our security measures are breached as a result of third-party action, employee error, malfeasance or otherwise, and, as a result, someone obtains unauthorized access to trading or other confidential information, our reputation could be damaged, our business may suffer and we could incur significant liability. Because techniques used to obtain unauthorized access or to sabotage computer systems change frequently and generally are not recognized until launched against a target, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventive measures. If an actual, threatened or perceived breach of our security occurs, the market perception of the effectiveness of our security measures could be harmed and could cause broker-dealers, liquidity providers and clients to reduce or stop their use of our electronic trading platform. We may be required to expend significant resources to protect against the threat of security breaches or to alleviate problems, including reputational harm and litigation, caused by any breaches. Although we intend to continue to implement industry-standard security measures, we cannot assure you that those measures will be sufficient.
 
 We may not be able to protect our intellectual property rights or technology effectively, which would allow competitors to duplicate or replicate our electronic trading platform. This could adversely affect our ability to compete.
 
Intellectual property is critical to our success and ability to compete, and if we fail to protect our intellectual property rights adequately, our competitors might gain access to our technology. We will rely primarily on a combination of copyright, trademark and trade secret laws in the United States and any other jurisdictions in which we conduct business in the future, as well as license agreements, third-party non-disclosure and other agreements and other contractual provisions and technical measures to protect our intellectual property rights. We attempt to negotiate beneficial intellectual property ownership provisions in our contracts and also require employees, consultants, advisors and collaborators to enter into confidentiality and assignment agreements in order to protect the confidentiality of our proprietary information. However, laws and our contractual terms may not be sufficient to protect our technology from unlawful use or theft by third parties. For instance, a third party might reverse engineer or otherwise obtain and use our technology without our permission and without our knowledge, thereby infringing our rights and allowing competitors to duplicate or replicate our products.
 
We may have legal or contractual rights that we could assert against illegal use of our intellectual property rights, but lawsuits claiming infringement or misappropriation are complex and expensive, and the outcome would not be certain. In addition, the laws of some countries in which we may in the future provide our services may not protect software and intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States.
 
Defending against intellectual property infringement or other claims could be expensive and disruptive to our business. If we are found to infringe the proprietary rights of others, we could be required to redesign our products, pay royalties or enter into license agreements with third parties.
 
In the technology industry, there is frequent litigation based on allegations of infringement or other violations of intellectual property rights. As the number of participants in our market increases and the number of patents and other intellectual property registrations increases, the possibility of an intellectual property claim against us grows. Although we have not been the subject of a material intellectual property dispute, we cannot assure you that a third party will not assert in the future that our technology or the manner in which we operate our business violates its intellectual property rights. From time to time, in the ordinary course of our business, we may become subject to legal proceedings and claims relating to the intellectual property rights of others, and we expect that third parties may assert intellectual property claims against us, particularly as we expand the complexity and scope of our business, the number of electronic trading platforms increases and the functionality of these platforms further overlaps. Any claims, whether with or without merit, could:
 
be expensive and time-consuming to defend;
   
prevent us from operating our business, or portions of our business;
 
 
20

 
 
cause us to cease developing, licensing or using all or any part of our electronic trading platform that incorporates the challenged intellectual property;
   
require us to redesign our products or services, which may not be feasible;
   
result in significant monetary liability;
   
divert management’s attention and resources; and
   
require us to pay royalties or enter into licensing agreements in order to obtain the right to use necessary technologies, which may not be possible on commercially reasonable terms.
 
We license a substantial amount of intellectual property from third parties. Although we attempt to negotiate beneficial representations, warranties and indemnification provisions from such third party licensors, we cannot assure you that such provisions will adequately protect us from any potential infringement claims made against us as a result of the use of such licensed intellectual property.
 
 We cannot assure you that third parties will not assert infringement claims against us and/or the third parties from which we have obtained licenses in the future with respect to our electronic trading platform or any of our other current or future products or services or that any such assertion will not require us to cease providing such services or products, try to redesign our products or services, enter into royalty arrangements, if available, or engage in litigation that could be costly to us. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
Protection of our “Bonds.com” domain name.
 
We became the registered holder of the domain name “Bonds.com” in September 2007. Our current business plan is based, in part, on realizing the value of our domain name. We believe that the “Bonds.com” domain name allows us to market our business by directing potential customers directly to our website. Under current domain name registration practices, no one else can obtain an identical domain name, but someone might obtain a similar name, or the identical name with a different suffix (e.g. “.org”) or with a country designation. The regulation of domain names in the United States and in foreign countries is subject to change, and we may be unable to prevent third parties from acquiring domain names that infringe or otherwise decrease the value of our domain name or names; particularly since we anticipate that it could be difficult to protect any trademark rights we claim in the name “Bonds.com.” The Trademark Trial and Appeal Board of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) in the matter In re CyberFinancial.Net, Inc. in August 2002 held that Bonds.com is generic and not registrable as a trademark. As a result, it is likely that we would not be able to obtain a trademark registration with the USPTO to protect our domain name under U.S. trademark laws. In the event that we are unable to protect our domain name under U.S. trademark laws it would be more difficult to prevent others from doing business under names similar to Bonds.com, which could dilute the value of our domain name and have a material adverse effect on our business.
 
If we are unable to enter into additional marketing and strategic alliances or if our current strategic alliances are not successful, we may not maintain the current level of trading or generate increased trading on our trading platform.
 
From time to time, we may enter into strategic alliances that will enable us to enter new markets, provide products or services that we do not currently offer or otherwise enhance the value of our platform to our clients.
 
Entering into joint ventures and alliances entails risks, including:
 
   
difficulties in developing and expanding the business of newly-formed joint ventures;
   
exercising influence over the activities of joint ventures in which we do not have a controlling interest; and
   
potential conflicts with or among our joint venture or alliance partners.
 
 
21

 
 
We cannot assure you that we will be able to enter into new strategic alliances on terms that are favorable to us, or at all. These arrangements, if entered into, may not generate the expected number of new clients or increased trading volume we are seeking. Unsuccessful joint ventures or alliances could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
If we acquire or invest in other businesses, products or technologies, we may be unable to integrate them with our business, our financial performance may be impaired or we may not realize the anticipated financial and strategic goals for any such transactions.
 
If appropriate opportunities present themselves, we may acquire or make investments in businesses, products or technologies that we believe are strategic. We may not be able to identify, negotiate or finance any future acquisition or investment successfully. Even if we do succeed in acquiring or investing in a business, product or technology, such acquisitions and investments involve a number of risks, including:
 
we may find that the acquired company or assets do not further our business strategy, or that we overpaid for the company or assets, or the economic conditions underlying our acquisition decision may change;
   
we may have difficulty integrating the acquired technologies or products with our existing electronic trading platform, products and services;
   
we may have difficulty integrating the operations and personnel of the acquired business, or retaining the key personnel of the acquired business;
   
there may be client confusion if our services overlap with those of the acquired company;
   
our ongoing business and management’s attention may be disrupted or diverted by transition or integration issues and the complexity of managing geographically or culturally diverse enterprises;
   
we may have difficulty maintaining uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies across locations;
   
an acquisition may result in litigation from terminated employees or third parties; and
   
we may experience significant problems or liabilities associated with product quality, technology and legal contingencies.
 
These factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, particularly in the case of a larger acquisition or multiple acquisitions in a short period of time. From time to time, we may enter into negotiations for acquisitions or investments that are not ultimately consummated. Such negotiations could result in significant diversion of management time, as well as out-of-pocket costs.
 
The consideration paid in connection with an investment or acquisition also affects our financial results. If we were to proceed with one or more significant acquisitions in which the consideration included cash, we could be required to use a substantial portion of our available cash to consummate any acquisition. To the extent we issue shares of capital stock or other rights to purchase capital stock, including options or other rights, existing stockholders may be diluted and earnings per share may decrease. In addition, acquisitions may result in the incurrence of debt, large one-time write-offs, such as acquired in-process research and development costs, and restructuring charges. They may also result in goodwill and other intangible assets that are subject to impairment tests, which could result in future impairment charges.

We have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective and there are material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting.
 
We have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective and there are material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting. The ineffectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures results in a risk that information required to be disclosed in reports filed by the Company under the Exchange Act, such as this annual report, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K, may not be recorded, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by SEC’s the rules and forms or at all. In the past, we have not filed reports on Form 8-K, Form 10-K and Form 10-Q within the time periods required, and we have restated reports filed on Form 10-Q. A material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting is a control deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of annual or interim financial statements would not be prevented or detected. Until this deficiency in our internal control over financial reporting is remediated, there is reasonable possibility that a material misstatement to our annual or interim consolidated financial statements could occur and not be prevented or detected by our internal controls in a timely manner.
 
If we are unable to achieve and maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting, investors could lose confidence in our public disclosure and financial statements and our company. Additionally, if we fail to make required filings with the SEC or our filings contain material misstatements or omissions, we may face removal from the OTC Bulletin Board and civil and regulatory liability.  In this regard, we have been delinquent in filing two Form 10-K’s during the last 24 months.  If we are delinquent (after taking into account any grace period under SEC rules) in the filing or another quarterly or annual report in the next 12 months, we will be removed from the OTC Bulletin Board. The foregoing may have a material adverse effect on our business, stock price and financial position.
 
We are limited in ability to use our U.S. net operating loss carry-forwards.
 
As of December 31, 2011, we had U.S. net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $32.0 million that will begin to expire in 2031. A net operating loss carry-forward enables a company to apply net operating losses incurred during a current period against future periods’ profits in order to reduce tax liability in those future periods.

Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code provides that when a company undergoes an “ownership change,” that company’s use of its net operating losses is limited annually in each subsequent year. An “ownership change” occurs when, as of any testing date, the sum of the increases in ownership of each shareholder that owns five percent or more of the value of a company’s stock as compared to that shareholder’s lowest percentage ownership during the preceding three-year period exceeds 50 percentage points. For purposes of this rule, certain shareholders who own less than five percent of a company’s stock are aggregated and treated as a single five-percent shareholder. The Company's management has not performed this analysis, but based on the various issuances of equity during the last two fiscal years, the Company believes that the utilization of its net operating loss carryforwards will be limited.
 
The issuance or repurchase of a significant number of shares of stock or purchases or sales of stock by significant shareholders could result in an additional “ownership change.” For, example, we may issue a substantial number of shares of our stock in connection with offerings, acquisitions and other transactions in the future and we could repurchase a significant number of shares in connection with a stock repurchase program, although no assurance can be given that any such offering, acquisition, other transaction or repurchase program will be undertaken. In addition, the exercise of outstanding options, rights or warrants to purchase shares of our common stock may require us to issue additional shares of our common stock. The extent of the actual future use of our U.S. net operating loss carry-forwards is subject to inherent uncertainty because it depends on the amount of otherwise taxable income we may earn. We cannot give any assurance that we will have sufficient taxable income in future years to use any of our federal net operating loss carry-forwards before they would otherwise expire.
 
We are dependent on our management team, and the loss of any key member of this team may prevent us from implementing our business plan in a timely manner.
 
Our success depends largely upon the continued services of our executive officers and other key personnel. These individuals or the Company may terminate employment at any time. Any loss or interruption of their services could result in our inability to manage our operations effectively and/or pursue our business strategy.
 
Because competition for our employees is intense, we may not be able to attract and retain the highly skilled employees we need to support our business.
 
We strive to provide high-quality services that will allow us to establish and maintain long-term relationships with our broker-dealer, liquidity provider and institutional and individual investor clients. Our ability to provide these services and maintain these relationships, as well as our ability to execute our business plan generally, depends in large part upon our employees. We must attract and retain highly qualified personnel. Competition for these personnel is intense, especially for software engineers with extensive experience in designing and developing software and Internet-related services, hardware engineers, technicians, product managers, marketing associates and senior sales executives.
 
 
23

 
 
We believe that the market for qualified personnel has grown more competitive in recent periods as electronic commerce has experienced growth. We also believe that domestic and international labor markets have tightened in concert with the continuing recovery in general economic conditions. Many of the companies with which we compete for experienced personnel have greater resources than we have and are longer established in the marketplace. In addition, in making employment decisions, particularly in the Internet, high-technology and financial services industries, job candidates often consider the total compensation package offered, including the value of the stock-based compensation they are to receive in connection with their employment. Significant volatility in the price of our common stock may adversely affect our ability to attract or retain key employees. The requirement to record as compensation expense the fair value of granted options may discourage us from granting the size or type of stock-based compensation that job candidates may require to join our company.
 
We cannot assure you that we will be successful in our efforts to recruit and retain the required personnel. The failure to attract new personnel or to retain and motivate our current personnel may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
Our business is subject to increasingly extensive government and other regulation and our relationships with our broker-dealer clients may subject us to increasing regulatory scrutiny.
 
The financial industry is extensively regulated by many governmental agencies and self-regulatory organizations, including the SEC, FINRA and various state agencies and regulatory authorities. As a matter of public policy, these regulatory bodies are responsible for safeguarding the integrity of the securities and other financial markets and protecting the interests of investors in those markets. These regulatory bodies have broad powers to promulgate and interpret, investigate and sanction non-compliance with their laws, rules and regulations.
 
Most aspects of our broker-dealer and investment advisory subsidiaries are highly regulated, including:
 
the way we deal with our clients;
   
our capital requirements;
 
our financial and regulatory reporting practices;
   
required record-keeping and record retention procedures;
   
the licensing of our employees; and
   
the conduct of our directors, officers, employees and affiliates.
 
We cannot assure you that we and/or our directors, officers and employees will be able to fully comply with these laws, rules and regulations. If we fail to comply with any of these laws, rules or regulations, we may be subject to censure, fines, cease-and-desist orders, suspension of our business, suspensions of personnel or other sanctions, including revocation of our membership in FINRA and registration as a broker-dealer.
 
We have one major operating subsidiary, Bonds.com, Inc. Bonds.com, Inc. is subject to U.S. regulations, including federal and state securities laws and regulations, as a registered broker-dealer and as an alternative trading system, respectively, which prohibit repayment of borrowings from the Company or affiliates, paying cash dividends, making loans to the Company or affiliates or otherwise entering into transactions that result in a significant reduction in regulatory net capital or financial resources, without prior notification to or approval from such subsidiary’s principal regulator.
 
Changes in laws or regulations or in governmental policies, including the rules relating to the maintenance of specific levels of net capital applicable to our broker-dealer subsidiary, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our industry has been and is subject to continuous regulatory changes and may become subject to new regulations or changes in the interpretation or enforcement of existing regulations, which could require us to incur significant compliance costs or cause the development of affected markets to become impractical. In addition, as we expand our business into new markets, it is likely that we will be subject to additional laws, rules and regulations. We cannot predict the extent to which any future regulatory changes may adversely affect our business and operations.
 
 
24

 
 
Our disclosed trading system, BondsPRO, is subjected to regulation as an alternative trading system under Regulation ATS. Under Regulation ATS, the Company is required to follow additional reporting obligations and other limitations on the conduct of our business, many of which could be material. Being regulated as an alternative trading system subject to Regulation ATS includes following requirements related to, but not limited to, access, fees, operating standards and record keeping.
 
The activities and consequences described above may result in significant distractions to our management and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
We expect to expand our operations outside of the United States; however, we may face special economic and regulatory challenges that we may not be able to meet.
 
We plan to expand our operations throughout Europe and South and Central America and other regions. There are certain risks inherent in doing business in international markets, particularly in the financial services industry, which is heavily regulated in many jurisdictions outside the United States. These risks include:
 
less developed technological infrastructures and generally higher costs, which could result in lower client acceptance of our services or clients having difficulty accessing our trading platform;
   
difficulty in obtaining the necessary regulatory approvals for planned expansion, if at all, and the possibility that any approvals that are obtained may impose restrictions on the operation of our business;
   
the inability to manage and coordinate the various regulatory requirements of multiple jurisdictions that are constantly evolving and subject to unexpected change;
   
difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations;
   
fluctuations in exchange rates;
   
reduced or no protection for intellectual property rights;
   
seasonal reductions in business activity; and
   
potentially adverse tax consequences.
 
Our inability to manage these risks effectively could adversely affect our business and limit our ability to expand our international operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
We will require additional capital to continue operations. We cannot predict our future sources of capital or our ability to obtain additional financing. If we cannot raise such capital, we may be forced to curtail or cease operations.
 
Our business is dependent upon the availability of adequate funding and regulatory capital under applicable regulatory requirements. Historically, we have satisfied these needs primarily through equity and debt financing. Our ability to continue operations and grow our business depends on our continued ability to raise additional funds and generate our targeted revenues. We will need to raise additional funds to satisfy our working capital needs. Additionally, we may in the future need to raise additional funds to, among other things:
 
support more rapid growth of our business;
   
develop new or enhanced services and products;
 
 
25

 
 
respond to competitive pressures;
   
acquire complementary companies or technologies;
   
enter into strategic alliances;
   
increase the regulatory net capital necessary to support our operations;
   
respond to unanticipated capital requirements; and
   
fund ongoing litigation.
 
As of May 15, 2012, the Company had cash on hand of approximately $0.6 million and liquid deposits with clearing organizations of $3.2 million. We intend to use the majority of these funds for working capital purposes.
 
We may not be able to obtain additional financing in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If sufficient funds are not available or are not available on terms acceptable to us, our ability to meet our working capital requirements, fund our expansion, take advantage of acquisition opportunities, develop or enhance our services or products, or otherwise respond to competitive pressures would be significantly limited. These limitations could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
Currently, our short term assets are less than our short term liabilities and, therefore, we have negative net working capital. For this reason and others, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
 
As of May 15, 2012, our cash balance was approximately $0.6 and we had approximately $7.9 million of accounts payable and accrued expenses, and convertible debt in the principal amount of $400,000 payable on demand and otherwise maturing in October 2013.
 
Compliance with changing laws and regulations relating to corporate governance and public disclosure has resulted, and will continue to result, in the incurrence of additional expenses associated with being a public company.
 
New and changing laws and regulations, impose stricter corporate governance requirements and greater disclosure obligations. They have had the effect of increasing the complexity and cost of our corporate governance compliance, diverting the time and attention of our management from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities and increasing the risk of personal liability for our board members and executive officers involved in our corporate governance process. Our efforts to comply with evolving laws and regulations has resulted in increased general and administrative expenses and increased professional fees. In addition, it may become more difficult and expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance. These laws and regulations may impose obligations that will increase the legal and financial costs required to consummate a business combination and increase the time required to complete a transaction. Further, in order to meet the new corporate governance and disclosure obligations, we have been taking, and will continue to take, steps to improve our controls and procedures and related corporate governance policies and procedures to address compliance issues and correct any deficiencies that we may discover.
 
As a public company, we are required to comply with Section 404(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We cannot be certain as to the timing of completion of our evaluation, testing and remediation actions or the impact of the same on our operations. Furthermore, upon completion of this process, we may identify control deficiencies of varying degrees of severity that remain un-resolved. As a public company, we will be required to report, among other things, control deficiencies that constitute a “material weakness.” 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. If we fail to implement the requirements of Section 404(a) in a timely manner, we might be subject to sanctions or investigation by regulatory agencies such as the SEC.

 
In addition, failure to comply with Section 404(a) or the report by us of a material weakness and remediation thereof may cause investors to lose confidence in our financial statements and the trading price of our common stock may decline. If we fail to remedy any material weakness, our financial statements may be inaccurate, our access to the capital markets may be restricted and the trading price of our common stock may decline.
 
 
26

 
 
We are subject to important restrictive covenants under an agreement with a strategic partner.
 
Our Licensing and Services Agreement with UBS Securities LLC prohibits us from soliciting certain prospective customers during the term of such agreement and for a period of one year thereafter. Additionally, such agreement prohibits us, during the term of such agreement and for a period of six months after the termination of such agreement by the Company or by UBS Securities LLC for certain reasons, from licensing BondsPRO on a white label or private label basis or otherwise permitting any other party to use BondsPRO in the same manner as anticipated to be used by UBS Securities LLC. If we do not realize the anticipated benefits from this agreement with UBS Securities LLC or the agreement is terminated under certain circumstances, these restrictive covenants would prevent us from seeking alternative strategic partners to fulfill the same role anticipated to be fulfilled by UBS Securities LLC, would prevent us from pursuing certain customers and would prevent us from pursuing other possible business opportunities for a meaningful period of time. Given the speed at which our industry is developing and the competitive disadvantage of being required not to pursue certain clients or opportunities while our competitors do, such restrictions could have a material adverse impact on our business if the strategic relationship with UBS Securities LLC is not successful.
 
We are subject to the risks of litigation and securities laws liability.
 
Many aspects of our business, and the businesses of our clients, involve substantial risks of liability. Dissatisfied clients may make claims regarding quality of trade execution, improperly settled trades, mismanagement or even fraud against their service providers. We and our clients may become subject to these claims as the result of failures or malfunctions of our electronic trading platform and services provided by us. We could incur significant legal expenses defending claims, even those without merit. An adverse resolution of any lawsuits or claims against us could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
Risks Related to Our Industry
 
If the use of electronic trading platforms does not become a reasonably accepted method for trading fixed income securities, we will not be able to achieve our business objectives.
 
The success of our business plan depends on our ability to create an electronic trading platform for a wide range of fixed-income products. Historically, fixed-income securities markets operated through telephone communications between institutional and individual investors and broker-dealers. The utilization of our products and services depends on the acceptance, adoption and growth of electronic means of trading securities. We cannot assure you that the use of electronic trading platforms for the trading of securities will be accepted at such level as would be required for us to achieve our business objectives.
 
Economic, political and market factors beyond our control could reduce demand for our services and harm our business, and our profitability could suffer.
 
The global financial services business is, by its nature, risky and volatile and is directly affected by many national and international factors that are beyond our control. Any one of these factors may cause a substantial decline in the U.S. and global financial services markets, resulting in reduced trading volume. These events could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. These factors include:
 
economic and political conditions in the United States and elsewhere;
   
adverse market conditions, including unforeseen market closures or other disruptions in trading;
   
actual or threatened acts of war or terrorism or other armed hostilities;
   
concerns over inflation and weakening consumer confidence levels;
   
the availability of cash for investment by mutual funds and other wholesale and retail investors;
 
 
27

 
 
the level and volatility of interest and foreign currency exchange rates; and
   
legislative and regulatory changes.
 
Any one or more of these factors may contribute to reduced activity and prices in the securities markets generally. Our revenues and profitability are likely to decline significantly during periods of stagnant economic conditions or low trading volume in the U.S. and global financial markets.
 
Risk Relating to our Common Stock
 
Since our common stock is quoted on a service, its stock price may be subject to wide fluctuations.
 
Our common stock is not currently listed on any exchange; but it is authorized for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board. Accordingly, the market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including the following:
 
technological innovations or new products and services by us or our competitors;
 
intellectual property disputes;
   
additions or departures of key personnel;
   
sales of our common stock;
   
our ability to execute our business plan;
   
operating results that fall below expectations;
   
loss of any strategic relationship;
   
industry developments;
   
economic and other external factors; and
   
period-to-period fluctuations in our financial results.
 
In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
 
Because we do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future, any return on investment may be limited to the value of our common stock.
 
We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate doing so in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends on our common stock will depend on earnings, financial condition and other business and economic factors affecting it at such time as our board of directors may consider relevant. If we do not pay dividends, a return on an investment in our common stock will only occur if our stock price appreciates.
 
Because we have become public by means of a reverse merger, we may not be able to attract the attention of major brokerage firms.
 
There may be risks associated with our becoming public through a “reverse merger.” Securities analysts of major brokerage firms may not provide coverage of us. No assurance can be given that brokerage firms will, in the future, assign analysts to cover the Company or want to conduct any secondary offerings on our behalf.
 
 
28

 
 
Because our common stock may be deemed a “penny stock,” investors may find it more difficult to sell their shares.
 
Our common stock may be subject to the “penny stock” rules adopted under Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act. The penny stock rules apply to companies whose common stock trades at less than $5.00 per share or that have tangible net worth of less than $5.0 million ($2.0 million if the company has been operating for three or more years) and are not quoted on an exchange. These rules require, among other things, that brokers who trade a penny stock to persons other than “established customers” complete certain documentation, make suitability inquiries of investors and provide investors with certain information concerning trading in the security, including a risk disclosure document and quote information under certain circumstances. Many brokers have decided not to trade penny stocks because of the requirements of the penny stock rules and, as a result, the number of broker-dealers willing to act as market makers in such securities is limited. Remaining subject to the penny stock rules for any significant period could have an adverse effect on the market, if any, for our securities. If our securities are subject to the penny stock rules, investors will find it more difficult to dispose of our securities.
 
Furthermore, for companies whose securities are traded in the OTC Bulletin Board, it is more difficult to obtain accurate quotations, obtain coverage for significant news events (because major wire services generally do not publish press releases about such companies), and obtain needed capital.
 
 
29

 
 
If there are large sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock, our stock price may significantly decline.
 
If our stockholders sell substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, including shares issued upon the exercise of outstanding options and warrants, the market price of our common stock could fall. These sales also may make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate.
 
If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity securities, or determine in the future to register additional common stock, existing stockholders’ percentage ownership will be reduced, they will experience dilution which could substantially diminish the value of their stock and such issuance may convey rights, preferences or privileges senior to existing stockholders’ rights which could substantially diminish their rights and the value of their stock.
 
We may issue shares of common stock for various reasons and may grant additional stock options to employees, officers, directors and third parties. If our board determines to register for sale to the public additional shares of common stock or other debt or equity securities in any future financing or business combination, a material amount of dilution can be expected to cause the market price of the common stock to decline. One of the factors which generally affect the market price of publicly traded equity securities is the number of shares outstanding in relationship to assets, net worth, earnings or anticipated earnings. Furthermore, the public perception of future dilution can have the same effect even if actual dilution does not occur.
 
In order for us to obtain additional capital or complete a business combination, we may find it necessary to issue securities, including but not limited to debentures, options, warrants or shares of preferred stock, conveying rights senior to those of the holders of common stock. Those rights may include voting rights, liquidation preferences and conversion rights. To the extent senior rights are conveyed, the value of the common stock may decline.
 
There are a large number of shares of our common stock underlying options, warrants, convertible promissory notes, convertible preferred stock and other rights that may be issued in the future, and the issuance of these shares of common stock may depress the market price of our common stock and cause immediate, and substantial dilution to our existing stockholders.
 
As of May 15, 2012, we had approximately 104.4 million shares of common stock issued and outstanding and outstanding options, warrants and convertible securities and other rights which are exercisable or convertible for an aggregate of approximately up to 962,514,000 million additional shares of common stock. Of these options, warrants and convertible securities approximately 729,000,000 shares may be issued at an exercise or conversion price of $0.07 per share, and the balance at exercise or conversion prices between $0.075 and $0.66.
 
A significant portion of the shares issuable upon exercise or conversion of such options, warrants and convertible securities and other rights may be sold without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 or are the subject of registration rights in favor of the holders. Both the issuance of these shares and the subsequent resale of these shares may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Additionally, the existence of these options, warrants, convertible securities and other rights results in substantial dilution to the ownership interests of common stockholders.

On January 12, 2009, the Company learned that Duncan-Williams, Inc. (“Duncan-Williams”) filed a complaint against the Company and its subsidiaries in the United States District Court for the Western District of Tennessee, Western Division, under an alleged breach of contract arising from the Company’s previous relationship with Duncan-Williams. Duncan-Williams is seeking monetary damages for alleged breach of contract, a declaration of ownership relating to certain intellectual property and an accounting of income earned by the Company. It is the Company’s position that Duncan-Williams’ claims are without merit because, among other things, the Company did not breach any contract with Duncan-Williams and any alleged relationship that the Company had with Duncan-Williams was in fact terminated by the Company on account of Duncan-Williams’ breach and bad faith. The Company plans to defend against the claims accordingly. On February 20, 2009, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the complaint on the grounds that, among other reasons, the parties agreed to arbitrate the dispute. On October 23, 2009, the court granted in part the Company’s motion and entered an order staying the action pending arbitration between the parties. Such order does not affect the substantive and/or procedural rights of the parties to proceed before the court at a later date, or any rights the Company or Duncan-Williams may have, if any, to seek arbitration.
 
The Company received a letter dated June 18, 2010 from Duncan-Williams’ counsel requesting arbitration. On July 13, 2010, the Company responded in a letter to Duncan-Williams indicating that due to vacations and scheduling conflicts, the timeline offered to the Company was not acceptable. The Company further responded to Duncan-Williams that it did not agree with certain interpretations of Duncan-Williams relating to the arbitration procedure. The Company did not hear further from Duncan-Williams until December 3, 2010, when Duncan-Williams filed a motion to lift the stay issued on October 23, 2009 and to litigate the dispute in the United States District Court for the Western District of Tennessee. On December 20, 2010, counsel for the Company filed a response to Duncan-Williams’ motion, objecting to litigating the dispute in court and supporting the Company’s claims that it is prepared to arbitrate. On December 27, 2010, Duncan-Williams filed a reply to the Company’s response. On February 11, 2011 the United States District Court for the Western District of Tennessee issued an Order Denying Motion To Lift Stay and the Company on February 22, 2011 sent a letter to Duncan Williams counsel stating that the Company is prepared to move forward with the arbitration. Duncan Williams has contacted the Company to propose a settlement of this matter.
  
 
 
Market for Common Stock
 
Our common stock has historically been quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “BDCG.OB.” The market for our common stock is limited and subject to volatility. There is no certainty that our common stock will continue to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or that any liquidity exists for our shareholders.  As of the date this Annual Report on Form 10-K is being filed, our common stock has been removed from the OTC Bulletin Board for failure to file this Annual Report within the applicable grace period.  We anticipate our commn stock will resume quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board after this filing is made, though there can be no assurance that will be the case.
 
The following table contains information about the range of high and low closing prices for our common stock for each quarterly period indicated during the last two fiscal years based upon reports of transactions on the OTC Bulletin Board.

The source of these high and low prices was the OTC Bulletin Board. These quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, markdown or commissions and may not represent actual transactions. The high and low prices listed have been rounded up to the next highest two decimal places.
 
It is anticipated that the market price of our common stock will be subject to significant fluctuations in response to variations in our quarterly operating results, general trends in the market for the products we distribute the volume of shares sought to be purchased or sold, and other factors, many of which we have little or no control over. In addition, broad market fluctuations, as well as general economic, business and political conditions, may adversely affect the market for our common stock, regardless of our actual or projected performance. On December 31, 2011, the closing price of our common stock as reported by the OTC Bulletin Board was $0.05 per share. On March 31, 2012, the closing price of our common stock as reported by the OTC Bulletin Board was $0.07 per share.

Our Certificate of Incorporation contains significant restrictions on our ability to declare or pay dividends on our shares of common stock.  We are prohibited from declaring or paying dividends on shares of our common stock without the consent of holders of our preferred stock and then only if we have first paid required preferential dividends to such holders.  Additionally, the Delaware General Corporation Law prohibits us from declaring dividends where, after giving effect to the distribution of the dividend:
 
we would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business; or
   
our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of stockholders who have preferential rights superior to those receiving the distribution.
 
We have not paid any dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain any earnings for use in our business, and therefore do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

Summary of the Company’s Equity Capitalization
 
The Company currently has both common stock and preferred stock issued and outstanding.  The Company’s issued and outstanding common stock is all of a single class.  The Company’s issued and outstanding preferred stock is comprised of Series A Participating Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred”), Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series C Preferred”), Series E Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series E Preferred”), Series E-1 Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series E-1 Preferred”) and Series E-2 Convertible Preferred Stock (Series E-2 Preferred”).  The Company also has outstanding certain convertible promissory notes, warrants, options and other rights to acquire shares of  our common stock.  A summary of certain terms these issued and outstanding shares of common stock and preferred stock and of these outstanding convertible promissory notes, warrants, options and other rights is set forth below.  
 
As of May 15, 2012, we had issued and outstanding 104,354,190 shares of Common Stock, 85,835 shares of Series A Preferred, 10,000 shares of Series C Preferred, 11,831 shares of Series E Preferred, 1,334 shares of Series E-1 Preferred and 10,300 shares of Series E-2 Preferred.  Our shares of Series A Preferred are not convertible into common stock, but would participate with holders of common stock in the distribution of any legally available assets or funds of the Company upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up (including a sale of the Company), with each share of Series A Preferred being treated as equivalent to 100 shares of common stock for such purposes.  Our outstanding shares of Series C Preferred are convertible into an aggregate of 25,000,000 shares of common stock (subject to adjustment if we sell shares of common stock at a price less than $0.10 per share prior to August 2, 2012 and to equitable adjustment for stock splits, stock combinations and similar events).  As of May 15, 2012, our outstanding shares of Series E Preferred are convertible into an aggregate of approximately 175,015,000 shares of common stock.  Additionally, the number of shares of common stock into which our outstanding shares of Series E Preferred are convertible is subject to adjustment if we sell shares of common stock at a price less than $0.07 per share prior to June 5, 2013 and to equitable adjustment for stock splits, stock combinations and similar events.  As of May 15, 2012, our outstanding shares of Series E-1 Preferred are convertible into either approximately 19,734,000 shares of common stock (subject to the same adjustments as the Series E Preferred) or approximately 197,340 shares of Series A Preferred (subject to equitable adjustment for stock splits, stock combinations and similar events).  As of May 15, 2012, our outstanding shares of Series E-2 Preferred are convertible into an aggregate of approximately 152,320,000 shares of common stock (subject to the same adjustments as the Series E Preferred).

We have outstanding convertible promissory notes, the principal and accrued interest of which are convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $0.07 per share.  Based on the principal and interest accrued as of May 15, 2012, these convertible promissory notes are convertible for approximately 7,468,000 shares of our common stock.  As of May 15, 2012, we also have outstanding or reserved for issuance options to purchase up to approximately 191,954,000 shares of our common stock, warrants to purchase up to approximately 363,954,000 shares of our common stock, and warrants to purchase approximately 178,570 shares of our Series A Preferred.  Additionally, certain holders of our convertible promissory notes have the right to receive approximately 609,000 additional shares of our common stock based on the Company’s performance during the 12-month period ending February 2, 2012, which right currently has been deferred.  
 
If the Company issued all shares of common stock and Series A Preferred which may be issued as described above (assuming the conversion of the Series E-1 Preferred into common stock and not Series A Preferred), the Company would have issued and outstanding approximately 944,657,000 shares of common stock and approximately 179,000 shares of Series A Preferred.  Based on the terms and conditions of our outstanding shares of preferred stock, warrants, options and other rights, we anticipate that a portion of the entire amount of such shares of common stock issuable as described above will not be issued, but we are unable to provide an accurate estimate of the actual number of such shares of our common stock that ultimately will be issued.
 
Aside from the conversion rights of our preferred stock and the conversion and exercise rights of the other outstanding instruments described above and the resulting number of our shares of common stock that may be issued as described above, the other rights, privileges and preferences of our outstanding preferred stock are complex and have a material impact on the value of our outstanding shares of common stock.  Among other things, in connection with a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company (including a sale of the Company) our shares of preferred stock would be entitled to receive a potentially significant amount of the funds or property, if any, lawfully available for distribution to stockholders prior and in preference to any distribution to the holders of our common stock.  Additionally, certain shares of our preferred stock would participate in any distribution to the holders of our common stock after the payment in full, if any, of such preferential amounts.  For example, if the Company was liquidated, dissolved, wound-up or sold as of May 15, 2012, the holders of our preferred stock would be entitled to receive the following preferential amounts out of any proceeds or property available for distribution to stockholders – with such amounts payable in the following order of priority and prior and in preference to any payment to holders of common stock:
 
 
36

 
 
First, holders of our Series E Preferred, Series E-1 Preferred and Series E-2 Preferred would be entitled to receive (out of funds lawfully available for distribution to stockholders, if any) approximately $47,784,000 or, if the proceeds to such holders (based on their preference and participation with holders of common stock discussed below) exceeds 5x their investment amount, $24,318,881 (as of May 15, 2012 and which amount is expected to increase over time based on the accrual of unpaid dividends).
 
Second, after payment, if any, of all preferential amounts required to be paid to holders of shares of our Series E Preferred, Series E-1 Preferred and Series E-2 Preferred, holders of our shares of Series C Preferred would be entitled to receive (out of funds lawfully available for distribution to stockholders, if any) an amount equal to the greater of (a) $6,500,000, or (b) such amount as they would have received had they converted their shares of Series C Preferred to common stock.
 
Third, after payment, if any, of all preferential amounts required to be paid to the holders of shares of our Series E Preferred, Series E-1 Preferred, Series E-2 Preferred and Series C Preferred, holders of our shares of Series A Preferred would be entitled to receive (out of funds lawfully available for distribution to stockholders, if any) an amount equal to $0.01 per share.
 
After payment, if any, of all of the foregoing preferential amounts, the holders of our common stock, Series A Preferred, Series E Preferred, Series E-1 Preferred and Series E-2 Preferred would share ratably in any funds or property remaining lawfully available for distribution to stockholders, with each share of Series A Preferred being treated as equivalent to 100 shares of common stock and each share of Series E Preferred, Series E-1 Preferred and Series E-2 Preferred being treated as if it had been converted to common stock.  
 
Additional rights, privileges and preferences of our preferred stock are summarized in other filings we have made with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 7, 2010, February 8, 2011 and December 9, 2011.  The above descriptions of our Series A Preferred, Series C Preferred, Series E Preferred, Series E-1 Preferred and Series E-2 Preferred are summaries only and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the terms of such preferred stock set forth in the Certificate of Designation of Series A Participating Preferred Stock, Certificate of Designation of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, Certificate of Designation of the Series E Convertible Preferred Stock, Series E-1 Convertible Preferred Stock and Series E-2 Convertible Preferred Stock, the Agreement with Respect to Conversion and the Amendment No. 1 to Agreement with Respect to Conversion dated December 5, 2011, all of which are referenced as exhibits to this Annual Report and incorporated by reference herein.
 
 
 
As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide information required by this Item.
 
 
The following is management’s discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company, as well as our liquidity and capital resources. The discussion, including known trends and uncertainties identified by management, should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The Company has only been executing its current business plan for two years. The rate of growth of new customers has contributed to the significant year over year growth in trades and revenues. As we continue to operate in a start up mode the acceptance of our business model has been very strong and we continue to be encouraged by our growth and path towards profitability. We are focused on the demands of the marketplace as a result of the changing economic, regulatory and technology climate with a view to providing a trading platform that meets these demands. Our goal is to provide our institutional customers a state of the art technology platform, easily accessible and customizable to their technology infrastructure and that allows them efficient access to our large pool of  liquidity.
 
Technology
 
The electronic fixed income trading market is experiencing a period of both rapid growth and wide exposure.  The advances made in the electronic equity markets have attracted the attention of fixed income market participants, technologists and opportunistic investors for many years.  As our operation continues to grow, and we are faced with the need to develop new businesses and enhance existing offerings and we will be required to stay ahead of the curve with hardware, software development, and networking capabilities, both internally and through vendor relationships.  This will require expenditures on all fronts; internal development and the potential to outsource needs or license technology.
 
Furthermore, as the electronic fixed income market evolves, we will be faced with increasingly complicated solution requirements, which will require more sophisticated technology solutions.  Key to capturing, maintaining and growing market share will be the firm’s ability to deliver advanced technology solutions to our growing customer base in a cost efficient and timely manner.  As a result, we are committed to allocating the appropriate financial resources to this endeavor.
 
Our biggest investment is in our people and relationships we build with our customers. We seek to attract high caliber professionals by offering competitive compensation packages that include share based compensation aligning their interests with that of the Company.
 
Financial Results of Operations
  
Earnings Overview
 
As the Company continues on its growth path and implements its business plan, we continue to incur operating losses. For the year ended December 31, 2011, we incurred a loss of $14.5 million that was $2.0 million more than the loss of $12.5 million incurred for the year ended December 31, 2010. The change was due primarily to increased operating expenses associated with compensation, professional fees and a charge for the impairment of intangible assets offset by an increase in gross revenues.  In addition, the Company increased valuation losses related to derivative financial instruments.
 
Revenue
 
The Company generates all of its revenue through its riskless principal trading activity. Customers who aggress on our platform pay a mark-up/mark-down on each trade based on the trade’s size and maturity. All trades, once matched on the platform, settle at our clearing firm and the net proceeds are credited to our account.
 
Total revenue increased by 59.4% to $4.3 million from $2.7 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010. The increase was due to the continued growth in our customer base resulting in increased trading volumes and related revenues. Given that our revenue is measured as a function of the aggregate value of the securities traded, our per trade revenue varies a great deal based on the size of the applicable trade. Our average size of trade and revenue per trade both increased in 2011.

Operating Expenses
 
The primary operating expenses of the Company are compensation, technology and professional and consulting fees. Compensation expenses in 2011 and 2010 include salaries, sales commissions, bonuses and employee benefits and payroll taxes. In addition there are share-based compensation expenses associated with the issuance of stock options under the firm’s employee equity plans. Our technology costs include license and other fees to our technology vendor, market data services and other communication and technology costs. The professional and consulting fees are primarily corporate and regulatory counsel fees, audit and accounting services fees and marketing and other consulting related costs.
 
Operating expenses increased 5%, or $0.8 million, to $15.8 million from $15.0 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2010. The increase was driven primarily by increases of $1.2 million in professional and consulting fees and a charge of $0.9 million related to the write off of the Beacon intangible assets offset by a decrease of approximately $2.0 million in payroll related costs primarily due to former executive severance settlements in 2010.
 
Other Income and Expense 
 
Other expense was approximately $2.8 million for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2011, compared to income of approximately $1.7 million for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2010.  The $4.5 million change is attributable to losses related to derivative financial instruments versus gains in 2010, offset by the expense in connection with the October 2010 Exchange Offer, a decrease in interest expense due to debt repayments and expenses in 2010 for costs related to the closing of the Florida office.
  
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
The Company continues to rely on investor capital to fund its growing business. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had total current assets of approximately $8.5 million comprised of cash and cash equivalents ($2.4 million), deposits with clearing organizations ($5.9 million), and prepaid expenses and other assets ($0.2 million). This compares with current assets of approximately $1.0 million, comprised of cash and cash equivalents, investment securities, deposits with clearing organizations, and prepaid expenses and other assets, as of December 31, 2010. This increase in current assets was primarily due to cash raised in December 2011 as a result of the sale of convertible preferred stock to new and existing investors.
 
The Company’s current liabilities as of December 31, 2011 totaled approximately $14.4 million, comprised primarily of accounts payable and accrued expenses ($4.9 million), preferred and common stock payable ($0.2 million) and liabilities under derivative financial instruments ($7.5 million).  This compares to current liabilities at December 31, 2010 ($5.4 million), comprised of accounts payable and accrued expenses ($4.9 million) and notes payable and liabilities under derivative financial instruments ($0.5 million).
 
Our business is dependent upon the availability of adequate funding and regulatory capital under applicable regulatory requirements.  Historically, we have satisfied these needs primarily through equity and debt financing.  Our ability to continue operations and grow our business depends on our continued ability to raise additional funds and generate our targeted revenues.  We will need to raise additional funds to satisfy our working capital needs.
 
During 2011, the Company raised additional equity capital, net of issuance costs, in the form of preferred convertible stock of $18.1 million. The Company also repaid notes and convertible notes of approximately $1.8 million.

In February 2011, we sold units of convertible preferred stock and common stock warrants in the amount of $6.5 million to two institutional investors. This cash was raised primarily for the purpose of covering general operating costs of the Company, including supporting the ongoing operating and development costs of the Beacon platform that was acquired at the same time. Additional units of this same convertible preferred issuance were sold in June 2011 to another institutional investor for cash proceeds of $2 million.
 
In December 2011, we sold units of convertible preferred stock and common stock warrants in the amount of $10.0 million to two existing and one new institutional investor. This cash was raised primarily for the purpose of covering general operating costs of the Company. This round of capital raised included a second tranche of $6.7 million which would be funded on the achievement of certain performance metrics by the Company.   
 
The foregoing transactions and certain related documents and matters are described in more detail in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 8, 2011, June 28, 2011 and December 9, 2011.
 
Going Concern
 
Our independent auditors have added an emphasis paragraph to their audit opinions issued in connection with the consolidated financial statements of Bonds.com Group, Inc. for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, with respect to the significant doubt that exists regarding our ability to continue as a going concern due to our recurring losses from operations and our accumulated deficit. We have a history of operating losses since our inception in 2005, and has a working capital deficiency of approximately $6.0 million, an accumulated deficit of approximately $45.0 million and a stockholders deficiency of approximately $5.0 million at December 31, 2011, which together raises doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern will be determined by our ability to sustain a successful level of operations and to continue to raise capital from debt, equity and other sources.
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The SEC has defined a company’s critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of the company’s financial condition and results of operations, and which require the company to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. We believe that our estimates and assumptions are reasonable under the circumstances; however, actual results may vary from these estimates and assumptions. We have identified in Note 2 - “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the Financial Statements contained in this Annual Report certain critical accounting policies that affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements.

Income Taxes
 
We recognize deferred income taxes for the temporary timing differences between U.S. GAAP and tax basis taxable income. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. We evaluate and determine on a periodic basis the amount of the valuation allowance required and adjust the valuation allowance as needed. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, a valuation allowance was established for the full amount of deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of its realization.
 
Share-Based Compensation
 
We measure equity-based compensation awards at the grant date (based upon an estimate of the fair value of the compensation granted) and recorded to expense over the requisite service period, which generally is the vesting period. Accordingly, we estimate the value of employee stock options using a Black-Scholes option pricing model, where the assumptions necessary for the calculation of fair value include expected term and expected volatility, which are subjective and represent management’s best estimate based on the characteristics of the options granted.
 
Convertible Promissory Notes and Warrants
 
We recognize warrants issued in conjunction with convertible promissory notes as a debt discount, which is amortized to interest expense over the expected term of the convertible promissory notes. Accordingly, the warrants are valued using either a Binomial Lattice model or a Black-Scholes option pricing model, where the assumptions necessary for the calculation of fair value include expected term and expected volatility, which are subjective and represent management’s best estimate based on the characteristics of the warrants issued in conjunction with the convertible promissory notes.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
Under U.S. GAAP, fair value is defined as “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.” U.S GAAP establishes a three-tiered fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used in fair value calculations. The three levels of inputs are defined as Level 1 (unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets), Level 2 (inputs that are observable in the marketplace other than those inputs classified in Level 1) and Level 3 (inputs that are unobservable in the marketplace). The Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis consist of its investment securities and derivative financial instruments.
 
“Down-Round” Provisions with Rights (Warrants and Conversion Options)
 
Purchase rights (warrants) associated with certain of our financings include provisions that protect the purchaser from certain declines in the Company’s stock price (or “down-round” provisions). Down-round provisions reduce the exercise price of the warrants (and conversion rate of the convertible notes) if the Company either issues equity shares for a price that is lower than the exercise price of those instruments or issues new convertible instruments that have a lower exercise price. Due to the down-round provision, all warrants issued are recognized as liabilities at their respective fair values on each reporting date and are marked-to-market on a monthly basis. Changes in value are recorded on our consolidated statement of operations as a gain or loss on derivative financial instruments and investment securities in other income (expense). The fair values of these securities are estimated using a Binomial Lattice valuation model.

On December 28, 2011 our independent auditors Daszkal Bolton LLP, informed the Company that they were resigning.  As previously reported by the Company, during the six month period ending June 30, 2011, the Company and the former auditors disagreed regarding the appropriate GAAP accounting treatment of the Company’s issuance of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock and related common stock warrants issued during such period.  Specifically, the disagreement related to the application of GAAP to the price protection features of these securities. The Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors discussed the accounting treatment with the Company’s management and former auditors. The difference of opinion was resolved to the former auditors’ satisfaction.  On January 20, 2012 the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors engaged EisnerAmper LLP as new independent auditors for the year ended December 31, 2011.

As discussed elsewhere in this Annual Report and as previously reported by the Company, in December 2011, the Company issued Series E, E-1 and E-2 Convertible Preferred Stock and related common stock warrants.  The Company is accounting for this transaction differently than the former accountants apparently would have required.  The Company is unable to state the effect on its financial statements if such transaction had been accounted for in the manner which our former accountants apparently would have concluded was required.
 
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in reports filed by the Company under the Exchange Act, such as this Annual Report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Disclosure controls and procedures are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the President (who is our principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
Our management, with the participation of our President and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report.  Based on that evaluation, our President and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, our disclosure controls were not operating effectively to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified by the SEC, and that material information relating to the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries is accumulated and communicated to management, including the President and Chief Financial Officer, particularly during the period when our periodic reports are being prepared.
 
The basis for the determination that our disclosure controls and procedures are not operating effectively at the reasonable assurance level is based on our conclusions that:
 
 
As discussed further below, we have material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which we consider an integral part of our disclosure controls and procedures; and
 
 
Our historical periodic filings have not always been completed on a timely basis.
 
Set forth below under “Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting” is a discussion of the steps the Company anticipates to remediate these material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and to cause our disclosure controls and procedures to operate effectively at the reasonable assurance level.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance as to the reliability of the Company’s financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
 
The Company’s management has assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011. In making this assessment, the Company used the criteria established by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in “Internal Control-Integrated Framework.”
 
The Securities and Exchange Commission defines a material weakness as a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
 
Management’s assessment, which did not include any testing, identified the following weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011:
 
·
The Company currently lacks formal written policies and procedures over the financial reporting process. This includes a lack of review procedures performed by management beyond the initial preparer calculations and estimates and also a lack of a formal control design structure for the review of external financial data;
·
We have operated with inadequate and insufficient accounting and finance resources to ensure timely and reliable financial reporting and adequate segregation of duties related to processing transactions impacting financial reporting;
·
We have not designed controls to ensure that stock-based compensation and severance have been calculated and recorded appropriately;
·
We have not designed controls to ensure we are utilizing the proper financial valuation modeling methodology relating to stock-based compensation and accounting for unit sales of stock; and
·
We have not designed controls to ensure we are properly accounting for unit sales of stock.
 
The Company has concluded that these deficiencies constitute material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting which could result in a material misstatement to our annual or interim consolidated financial statements.
 
Based on the Company’s processes and assessment, as described above, management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2011, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective and there is reasonable possibility that a material misstatement to the Company’s annual or interim consolidated financial statements could occur and not be prevented or detected by its internal controls in a timely manner.
 
The material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting has resulted, among other things, in the matters reported in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on April 2, 2012.
 
Management is in the process of implementing changes to its processes to improve its internal control over financial reporting.  The following steps are anticipated to remediate the conditions leading to the above stated material weaknesses:
 
·
Management is assuming a more active role in evaluating its internal control environment and the need to enhance the internal controls;
·
Management has engaged consultants to (i) assist with the recording complex transactions, including accounting for stock-based compensation and other equity-related transactions and (ii) to develop and document reliable internal controls and procedures;
·
Management has and will continue to enhanced the personnel responsible for the accounting and finance function and is actively involved in recruiting a senior finance and accounting manager and other personnel to handle key accounting and finance functions; and
·
Management intends to implement a finance and accounting policy manual that communicates all relevant information related to significant accounting policies and required procedures which heretofore were understood informally.
 
We believe that for the reasons described above, we will be able to improve our internal controls and remedy the identified material weaknesses.  Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all controls issues and instances of fraud, if any, will be or have been detected.  Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control.  The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Code of Ethics
 
The Company has adopted a “Code of Business Conduct and Ethics,” which applies to the Board of Directors and the Company’s officers and employees (the “Code of Ethics”). The Code of Ethics is intended to focus the Board of Directors, the individual directors and the Company’s executive officers and employees on areas of ethical risk, help them recognize and deal with ethical issues, provide mechanisms to report unethical conduct, and foster a culture of honesty and accountability. The Code of Ethics covers areas of personal conduct relating to service on the Board of Directors and as an executive officer or employee of the Company, including conflicts of interest, unfair or unethical use of corporate opportunities, strict maintenance of confidential information, compliance with laws and regulations and oversight of ethics and compliance by employees of the Company.

Audit Committee Financial Expert
 
The Audit Committee does not have an independent director who is acting as our “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of the rules and regulations of the SEC. The Company is not subject to the requirements that it have an audit committee financial expert. The Board has determined, however, that the members of the Audit Committee are able to read and understand fundamental financial statements and have substantial business experience that results in their financial sophistication. Accordingly, the Board believes that the members of the audit committee have the sufficient knowledge and experience necessary to fulfill their duties and obligations required to serve on the Audit Committee. In light of the foregoing and practical considerations related to the Company’s size and stage of development, the Company does not believe it needs an audit committee financial expert at this time.
 
SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
 
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, generally requires our directors and executive officers and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities (“10% owners”) to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of common stock and other equity securities of the Company. Directors and executive officers and 10% owners are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. To our knowledge, based solely on review of copies of the reports furnished to us and representations that no other reports were required to be filed during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to our directors, executive officers and 10% owners were met, except that (a) John J. Barry, IV failed to timely file certain Form 4 filings with respect to the sale of shares of our Common Stock, (b) Bonds MX, LLC and Robert Jones failed to timely file certain Form 4 filings with respect to the acquisition of beneficial ownership of our Common Stock in February 2011 and December 2011, and (c) Edwin L.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS AND POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE-IN-CONTROL
 
Employment Agreements with Executive Officers.
 
We have Employment Agreements with each of Thomas Thees, George O’Krepkie, our President, John M. Ryan, our Chief Financial Officer, and David J. Weisberger, our Chief Operating Officer.  These Employment Agreements, which are summarized below, provide for the current compensation and benefits of these executive officers and also provide for certain benefits upon a termination of employment or change-in-control.
 
Employment Agreement with Thomas Thees.
 
Mr. Thees’ Employment Agreement provides that he shall be Chief Executive Officer of the Company effective June 1, 2012, serving under the supervision of the Board of Directors.  The term of the Employment Agreement is indefinite.  Mr. Thees’ base salary under his Employment Agreement is $300,000 per year, and he is eligible for an annual performance bonus based on performance at the discretion of our Board of Directors.

Mr. Thees is also entitled to a bonus payment of $750,000 upon a Change of Control (as defined under the Employment Agreement) that occurs during Mr. Thees' employment period under the Employment Agreement, where the Enterprise Value of the Company (as defined under the Employment Agreement) at the time of such Change of Control is at least $125,000,000.

 
Mr. Thees’ Employment Agreement provides him with the following severance benefits:

Upon a termination for death or disability, Mr. Thees shall be entitled to (a) payment of his base salary through the termination date, (b) payment of any performance bonus previously earned but unpaid (paid at the same time it would otherwise have been paid), and (c) reimbursement of any prior reimbursable business expenses in accordance with the Company’s standard policies;

  
Upon an involuntary termination without “cause,” or a voluntary termination with “good reason” (each as defined in the Employment Agreement), Mr. Thees shall be entitled to (a) payment of his base salary for a period of 18 months from and after the termination date, (b) payment of any performance bonus previously earned but unpaid (paid at the same time it would otherwise have been paid) and a pro−rated bonus for the year in which the termination occurs, (c) reimbursement of any prior reimbursable business expenses in accordance with the Company’s standard policies, (d) payment of his COBRA premiums for continued health insurance coverage for the him and his dependents through the end of the 18−month severance period, and (e) payment for tax planning and executive−level outplacement for up to one year after notice of termination (provided that the aggregate amounts for tax planning and outplacement will not exceed $50,000); and

  
Upon an involuntary termination for “cause” or a voluntary termination without “good reason,” Mr. Thees shall be entitled to payment of his base salary through the termination date plus reimbursement of any prior reimbursable business expenses in accordance with the Company’s standard policies.

The Employment Agreement contains confidentiality and invention assignment provisions, a six−month post−employment non−compete and customer and employee non−solicit covering North America and any other country in which the Company does business; provided, however, such non−competition and non−solicitation covenants do not limit or restrict the Executive from (a) engaging in a business that is not primarily engaged in electronic fixed income trading or (b) soliciting clients, former clients or prospective clients for services that do not directly compete with the services provided by the Company.

Additionally, as stated in Item 3.02 above, the Company granted and issued to the Executive an option to purchase 78,000,000 shares of the Common Stock at a purchase price of $0.09 per share for a period of 7 years pursuant to the 2011 Equity Plan (as amended), one−quarter of which shall vest June 1, 2012, and the balance of which shall vest quarterly over a period of three years from June 1, 2012. If prior to January 1, 2014, (i) the Company consummates an equity financing transaction, (ii) as a result of the securities issued by the Company in such equity financing transaction, the shares of Common Stock owned by Mr. Thees (calculated on a fully−diluted basis on the date such financing transaction is consummated) are less than 5% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock (calculated on a fully−diluted basis on the date such financing transaction is consummated), and (iii) Mr. Thees' employment period under the Employment Agreement has not terminated at the time such transaction is consummated, then the Company shall also be obligated to issue Mr. Thees additional stock options to purchase such additional number of shares of Common Stock as would cause the shares of Common Stock owned by Mr. Thees (calculated on a fully−diluted basis on the date such financing transaction is consummated) to equal at least 5% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock (calculated on a fully−diluted basis on the date such financing transaction is consummated), with an exercise price per share equal to the closing price of the Common Stock on the date of grant on any stock exchange or over−the−counter quotation system on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted or, if not so listed or quoted, equal to the fair market value thereof determined in good faith by the Board.

Letter Agreement and Amendment and Release Agreement with John J. Barry, IV.
 
As noted above under “DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF THE COMPANY – Voting Arrangements,” on February 26, 2010, we entered into a Letter Agreement with John J. Barry, IV, John Barry, III and Holly A.W. Barry.  Among other things, the Letter Agreement provided for John J. Barry, IV’s transition from our Chief Executive Officer and President to our Vice Chairman and Chief Strategic Officer, and the termination of Mr. Barry’s prior Employment Agreement.  The Letter Agreement also set forth certain additional binding and nonbinding provisions, including the nonbinding provision that the Company and Mr. Barry would negotiate for a period of sixty days with respect to a new employment agreement for Mr. Barry and the binding provision that in the event the Company and Mr. Barry did not execute such new employment agreement within sixty days, Mr. Barry would be deemed to have resigned as Vice Chairman and Chief Strategic Officer.  The foregoing sixty day period ended on April 27, 2010 without the Company and Mr. Barry executing a new employment agreement.  Accordingly, as of April 27, 2010, Mr. Barry resigned as our Vice Chairman and Chief Strategic Officer.  Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, Mr. Barry was entitled to: (a) a payment of $300,000, all of which was required to have been paid on or prior to July 15, 2010; (b) a payment of $75,000 on December 1, 2010; and (c) additional payments equal to $900,000, which were required to be paid over three years in equal monthly installments of $25,000 per month.
 
During 2010, the Company was unable to timely make certain severance payments required to be paid to Mr. Barry.  On October 19, 2010, the Company and Mr. Barry entered into an Amendment and Release Agreement relating to the Company’s obligations under the Letter Agreement.  This Amendment and Release set forth the following terms:

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Explanatory Note: Defined terms used elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are not used in this Item 13. Instead, for ease of reference, any defined terms used in this Item 13 are defined below.
 
Letter Agreement and Amendment and Release with John J. Barry, IV.

The Company and John J. Barry, IV are parties to a letter agreement and Amendment and Release, which are described in more detail above under “DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF THE COMPANY – Voting Arrangements” and “EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS AND POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE−IN−CONTROL.”

Former Agreements with Radnor Research and Trading.

We formerly were parties to a Restated Revenue Sharing Agreement with Radnor Research and Trading Company, LLC (“Radnor”). Pursuant to this agreement, we were obligated to pay Radnor an amount equal to 14% of all revenues generated from referrals made by Radnor. In the event George O’Krepkie, our current President and former Head of Sales, ceased to be an employee of the Company, such revenue share percentage would be increased to 35% minus the compensation paid to his replacement (but in no event less than 14%). This agreement had an initial term of three years, which term would have been automatically renewed for successive one year terms unless ninety days notice of termination was provided by either party before the termination date. Either party also had the right to terminate the agreement for a material breach by the other party. In the event of a termination of the agreement other than for material breach, the Company was required to continue paying the revenue sharing amounts to Radnor for a period of eighteen months. The Company’s strategic relationship with UBS Securities LLC was considered a Radnor referral. This meant that we were subject to this revenue share with respect to all revenue generated pursuant to such strategic relationship.

Radnor formerly was a party to an agreement with Edwin L. Knetzger, III, who is co−chairman of our Board of Directors, pursuant to which Radnor was required to pay Mr. Knetzger a percentage of the proceeds received by Radnor from the Company under the Restated Revenue Sharing Agreement. One of the principals of Radnor, Victor Angermueller, is Mr. Knetzger’s brother−in−law.

The Restated Revenue Sharing Agreement and the related agreement between Radnor and Mr. Knetzger were terminated on October 19, 2010 and there are no remaining obligations under such agreements.

In order to secure the termination of the Radnor Restated Revenue Sharing Agreement and in cancellation of an additional contractual obligation in the potential amount of $432,000, on October 19, 2010, the Company entered into a Termination and Release Agreement with Mark G. Hollo, The Fund LLC and Black-II Trust (the “Termination and Release Agreement”). Pursuant to the Termination and Release Agreement, among other things, the Company (a) issued to Black-II Trust a warrant to purchase 10,000,000 shares of our Common Stock at a purchase price of $0.24 per share, and (b) agreed to pay Black-II Trust an aggregate of $250,000 in four equal installments at such time, if ever, as the gross proceeds from the Company’s financing efforts (including the conversion of indebtedness) exceeded $5,000,000. In exchange, Mark G. Hollo provided his required consent to the termination of the Revenue Sharing Agreement, and The Fund LLC agreed to terminate the above-referenced contractual obligation. All payments under the Termination and Release Agreement have been made.

The Company, UBS Americas Inc. (“UBS”), John J. Barry, III, John J. Barry, IV, affiliates of John J. Barry, III and John J.

The Company was prohibited from selling its securities to any bank, bank holding company, broker or dealer prior January 11, 2011, unless agreed in writing by UBS. Such restriction did not apply to a change of control transaction in which the holders of the Company’s common stock received cash consideration of at least $4.00 per share and holders of Series A Preferred receive cash consideration for all of their shares of Series A Preferred equal to no less than the greater of $400.00 per share or 100 times the consideration per share received by holders of common stock.

Agreements with the Former Holder of Certain Convertible Secured Promissory Notes.

Amendments to Certain Convertible Secured Promissory Notes.

On October 19, 2010, the Company entered into an Amendment No. 2 to Convertible Secured Promissory Notes with Burton W. Wiand, as Receiver of Valhalla Investment Partners (the “Receiver”), who is the holder of a majority in principal amount of our Convertible Secured Promissory Notes issued on September 24, 2008, an Amendment No. 1 to Convertible Secured Promissory Note with the holder of our Convertible Secured Promissory Note issued on April 30, 2009 and an Amendment No. 1 to Convertible Secured Promissory Notes with the holders of our Convertible Secured Promissory Notes issued on June 8, 2009 (collectively, the “Note Amendments”). The Note Amendments restructured approximately $2,990,636 of our outstanding Convertible Secured Promissory Notes (the “Subject Notes”) as follows:
 
 
The maturity date of each of the Subject Notes was extended until October 12, 2013; provided, however, that from and after April 12, 2012, the holders of the Subject Notes may make a written demand to the Company for the payment of the entire unpaid principal balance thereof together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon and the Company shall be required to repay such outstanding principal and interest within ninety (90) days of its receipt of such demand.

 
The conversion price of the Subject Notes was fixed at $0.24 per share (which was the then current conversion price of the Subject Notes as a result of adjustments based on the price per share of Common Stock issued in the Company’s recently completed warrant exchange offer). As a result of the financing we consummated on February 2, 2011, this conversion price was subsequently reduced to $0.07 per share. However, the “full-ratchet” adjustment provision of the Subject Notes was eliminated.

 
Holders of the Subject Notes have the right to receive up to 12,460,983 shares of our Common Stock based on the revenue generated by our operations during the twelve-month period ending February 2, 2012 (“Contingent Performance Shares”). If we generate at least $7,500,000 in revenue, no performance shares will be issued, if we generate no revenue, all of the performance shares will be issued and if we generate revenue between $0 and $7,500,000, a pro rata portion of the performance shares will be issued.
 
On February 1, 2012, we entered into a letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) with the Receiver.Under the terms of the Letter Agreement, the Company paid the Receiver $2,250,000 and in exchange the Receiver (a) cancelled and terminated all indebtedness owed by the Company to the receivership, which constituted approximately $2,442,000 in outstanding principal and accrued interest, and (b) terminated any contingent rights the Receiver had to receive Contingent Performance Shares. Such termination included, among other things, a release of all liens in favor of the Receiver with respect to the assets of the Company. Additionally, under the termsof the Letter Agreement, the Company would pay the Receiver $5,000, and in consideration of such payment by the Company, the Receiver would transfer and surrender to the Company all outstanding shares of the Company’s equity securities held beneficially or of record by the Receiver, constituting 7,582,850 shares of Common Stock (the “Stock Repurchase”), which would occur, if ever, at such time at which the Company may legally repurchase the shares in accordance applicable law, except that if such repurchase does not occur prior to March 2013, the Receiver shall not be obligated to sell such shares to the Company.

Agreements Entered into in Connection with our February 2, 2011 Financing Transaction.

In February 2011, we consummated a group of related transactions pursuant to which, among other things, we raised capital through the sale of units comprised of preferred stock and warrants, exchanged newly issued shares of preferred stock for previously outstanding preferred stock, and acquired the assets of Beacon Capital Strategies. In connection with these transactions, we entered into certain agreements with related parties, which are summarized below.

February 2011 Unit Purchase Agreement

On February 2, 2011, we entered into a Unit Purchase Agreement (the “February 2011 Unit Purchase Agreement”) with Oak Investment Partners XII, Limited Partnership (“Oak”) and GFINet Inc. (“GFI”). Pursuant to the February 2011 Unit Purchase Agreement, among other things, we sold to Oak and GFI units comprised of Series D Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase Common Stock for a total purchase price of $6,500,000.In addition to providing for the sale of such units, the February 2011 Unit Purchase Agreement contains representations and warranties and covenants of the Company in favor of Oak and GFI.

Knetzger, III, and Robert Jones. Pursuant to the February 2011 Exchange Agreement, among other things, we (a) issued units comprised of shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase Common Stock in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and certain outstanding warrants to purchase shares of our Common Stock, and (b) issued units comprised of shares of Series D-1 Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase Series A Preferred Stock in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of our Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Stock and certain outstanding warrants to purchase shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

Beacon Capital Strategies, Inc. Asset Purchase Agreement

In connection with and as a condition to the transactions contemplated by the February 2011 Unit Purchase Agreement and the February 2011 Exchange Agreement, on February 2, 2011, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Beacon Asset Purchase Agreement”) by and among the Company, Bonds MBS, Inc., an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Bonds MBS”), and Beacon Capital Strategies, Inc. (“Beacon”). Oak was a significant stockholder of Beacon. Pursuant to the Beacon Asset Purchase Agreement, among other things, on February 2, 2011, the Company (through Bonds MBS) purchased substantially all of Beacon’s assets. As consideration for the purchase of the Beacon assets pursuant to the Beacon Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company, among other things, (a) issued to Beacon 10,000 shares of Series C Preferred, and (b) assumed certain limited liabilities of Beacon.Additionally, the Beacon Asset Purchase Agreement contains representations and warranties and covenants of both Beacon in favor of the Company and the Company in favor of Beacon.

In connection with the acquisition of the Beacon assets, the Company, Bonds MBS and Beacon entered into an Agreement With Respect to Conversion, dated as of February 2, 2011 (the “Determination Agreement”). The Determination Agreement, among other things, sets forth the provisions and procedures for determining the contingent number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred and the contingent liquidation preference of the shares of Series C Preferred.Additionally, pursuant to the Determination Agreement, the Company was required to use commercially reasonable efforts to support the operations of the Beacon business and to maximize the gross revenue of the Beacon business and the number of contingent conversion shares and the amount of the contingent liquidation preference. This support requirement included the requirement to provide working capital to the Beacon business of up to $2,000,000 for a certain period of time, with such working capital expenditures to be consistent with a budget agreed to among the parties. The Determination Agreement further provided that if the Company materially breached any of its support obligations, then the number of conversion shares and liquidation preference to which the shares of Series C Preferred are entitled shall be the maximum amounts thereof.

On December 5, 2011, the Company, Bonds MBS and Oak, as successor of Beacon, entered into the Amendment No. 1 to Agreement with Respect to Conversion (the “Determination Agreement Amendment”), which amended the Determination Agreement, among other things, to provide that (a) the contingent number of shares of Common Stock issuance upon conversion of the Series C Preferred will be calculated to be equal to 25,000,000 shares of Common Stock (subject to increase in the event the conversion price of the Series C Preferred is reduced pursuant to the antidilution provisions thereof), and (b) the Company is no longer be required to give any level of support to the operations of the business formerly engaged in by Beacon.  The Company then ceased operations of the assets acquired by Beacon.

Pursuant to the December 2011 Unit Purchase Agreement, among other things, (a) we sold to DBIC, Mida, Oak, GFI and certain other investors an aggregate of 100 Units for a total purchase price of $10,000,000, and (b) we agreed to sell, and DBIC, Mida, Oak, GFI and certain other investors agreed to purchase, an additional 66 Units for an aggregate purchase price of $6,600,000 (the “Additional Sale”).

The Company shall have achieved revenue and cash burn closing milestones on, as of or before June 30, 2012. Such revenue and cash burn closing milestones will be satisfied if both (a) the Company’s gross operating revenue for any month ending after December 5, 2011 and on or prior to June 30, 2012 is at least $800,000, and (b) the Company’s operating losses for the same month are less than $200,000.

In addition to providing for the sale of the Units, the Unit Purchase Agreement contains representations and warranties and covenants of the Company in favor of DBIC, Mida, Oak, GFI and certain other investors. The covenants set forth in the Unit Purchase Agreement include, without limitation, the following:

The purchase and sale of the Units under the Unit Purchase Agreement gives rise to preemptive rights held by certain holders of the Company’s capital stock under the terms of the Series D Stockholders’ Agreement dated as of February 2, 2011, by and among the Company and the other parties thereto. Among those holders was Bonds MX, LLC, an affiliate of Edwin L. Knetzger, III.

62

 

Pursuant to the Series E Stockholders’ Agreement, in the event that DBIC, Mida, Oak, GFI, UBS, Bonds MX, Jefferies or any other holder of the securities acquired pursuant to the Exchange Agreement or the Unit Purchase Agreement (the “Series E Stockholders”) seeks to sell his or its shares of Series E Preferred, Series E-1 Preferred or Series E-2 Preferred, as the case may be, each other Series E Stockholder shall have the right to sell a pro rata portion of its similar securities along with the selling Series E Stockholder. Alternatively, the Company, at its option, may redeem the applicable securities from the other Series E Stockholders and the selling Series E Stockholder would be permitted to sell his or its shares free of such obligation. The foregoing obligations do not apply to transfers pursuant to Rule 144, transfers to certain permitted transferees, bona fide pledges and pledges outstanding as of the date of the Series E Stockholders’ Stockholders’ Agreement. Such obligations also do not apply to sales of less than 10% of the securities held by the selling Series E Stockholder.

The Series E Stockholders’ Stockholders Agreement requires the Company to offer the Series E Stockholders the right to participate on a pro rata basis (based on its fully diluted shares of preferred stock relative to the total number of fully diluted shares of the Company) in future issuances of equity securities by the Company.The foregoing right does not apply to issuance of equity securities (a) in connection with any acquisition of assets of another person, whether by purchase of stock, merger, consolidation, purchase of all or substantially all of the assets of such person or otherwise approved by the Company’s Board of Directors and the requisite holders of the Series E Preferred and Series E-2 Preferred to the extent required under the Certificate of Designation of the Series E Convertible Preferred Stock, Series E-1 Convertible Preferred Stock and Series E-2 Convertible Preferred Stock, (b) Exempted Securities (as such term is defined in the Certificate of Designation of the Series E Convertible Preferred Stock, Series E-1 Convertible Preferred Stock and Series E-2 Convertible Preferred Stock), (c) in an underwritten public offering with gross proceeds of at least $50,000,000 and a market capitalization of at least $175,000,000, and (d) approved by holders of a majority of the shares of Series E Preferred and Series E-2 Preferred. The Company may elect to consummate the issuance of equity securities and subsequently provide the Series E Stockholders their right to participate. The foregoing right to participate under the Stockholders Agreement shall terminate on such date as of which less than 25% of the shares of Series E Preferred and Series E-2 Preferred collectively remain outstanding.

The Series E Stockholders Agreement also sets forth the voting provisions discussed in more detail above under ““DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF THE COMPANY – Voting Arrangements”.

Second Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement

In connection with and as a condition to the transactions contemplated by the Unit Purchase Agreement and the Exchange Agreement, on December 5, 2011, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement with DBIC, Mida, Oak, GFI, UBS, Bonds MX, Jefferies and each other holder of the securities acquired pursuant to the Exchange Agreement or the Unit Purchase Agreement (the “Second Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement”).

As soon as practicable thereafter (and in any event within sixty (60) days after the date of receipt by the Company of such written request), the Company shall file such registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering all Common Stock that are requested to be registered by the Initiating Investors and any additional Common Stock as specified by notice given to the Company by any Other Investors within twenty (20) days of the date the Other Investors received notice from the Company.

Related Party Transactions Policies and Procedures.

On April 8, 2010, our Board adopted written related party transaction policies and procedures (the “Policy”). For purposes of the Policy, “related party transactions” include transactions that involve more than $5,000 in any calendar year in which the Company is a participant and any related party has a direct or indirect interest, and “related party” includes our officers, directors or 5 percent shareholders and their immediate family members.

Except as described below, our Audit Committee (excluding any interested director) (the “Committee”) will review the material facts of all related party transactions. The Committee will either approve or disapprove of the entry into the related party transaction after taking into account, among other factors it deems appropriate, whether the related party transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third−party under the same or similar circumstances and the extent of the related party’s interest in the transaction. If advance Committee approval of a related party transaction is not feasible, the Committee will consider, and if it deems appropriate, ratifying the transaction at the Committee’s next regularly scheduled meeting. The Audit Committee has delegated authority to its Chair to approve related party transactions in which the amount involved is expected to be less than $25,000.

The following related party transactions are deemed to be pre−approved or ratified by the Committee (subject to the specific requirements and limitations set forth in the Policy):

(a) certain employment arrangements with our executive officers;

(b) certain compensation arrangements with our directors;

(c) transactions pursuant to which all of our shareholders receive proportional benefits;

(d) transactions involving competitive bids;

(e) regulated transactions; and

(f) banking transactions.

DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

Currently, the Company is not subject to the requirements of a national securities exchange or an inter−dealer quotation system with respect to the need to have a majority of our directors be independent. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that our Board of Directors shall include one or more directors who are neither officers or employees of the Company or its subsidiaries (and have not been officers or employees within the previous three years), do not have a relationship which, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director, and who are otherwise “independent” under the listing requirements of either the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) or The NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) or under such other requirements as may be established by our Board of Directors from time to time.

The Board of Directors has determined that each of David S. Bensol and George P. Jameson are independent under the current NYSE and NASDAQ listing standards and the other requirements of our Corporate Governance Guidelines. In making this determination, the Board of Directors evaluated whether there exists any transactions, relationships or arrangements between these individuals and the Company and determined that no material transactions, relationships or arrangements exist between the Company and any of the independent directors.

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
Bonds.com Group, Inc.
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Bonds.com Group, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the year then ended. The consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.
 
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Bonds.com Group, Inc. and subsidiaries at December 31, 2011, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has sustained recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations, and has a working capital deficiency and a stockholders’ deficiency.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described n Note 3.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
 
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
Bonds.com Group, Inc.
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Bonds.com Group, Inc. as of December 31, 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ (deficit) and cash flows for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company has determined that it is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included 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 also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Bonds.com Group, Inc. at December 31, 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has sustained recurring losses and has negative cash flows from operations that 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.

Note 1 - Description of Business Summary
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bonds.com Group, Inc. (a Delaware Corporation), Bonds.com Holdings, Inc. (a Delaware Corporation), Bonds.com, Inc. (a Delaware Corporation), Bonds MBS, Inc. (a Delaware Corporation), Bonds.com, LLC (an inactive Delaware Limited Liability Company) and Insight Capital Management, LLC, (an inactive Delaware Limited Liability Company) included through its dissolution on January 19, 2010. These entities are collectively referred to as the “Company”.
 
All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Description of Business
 
Bonds.com, Inc. a Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) registered broker-dealer, offers corporate bonds, through its proprietary electronic trading platforms, via its www.Bondpro.com website, and other electronic interfaces.
    
Bonds.com, Inc., commenced trading on it BondsPRO electronic platform during 2010 as it reduced and discontinued its support and use of BondStation its prior trading platform. This platform offers professional traders and large institutional investors an alternative trading system to trade odd-lot fixed income securities. Users are able to customize screens and utilize dynamic filtering capabilities to quickly and easily select and view only those market areas that meet their criteria. The platform supports a broad range of trading opportunities, offering cutting edge technology solutions for list trading, Application Programming Interface (“API”) based order submission(s), and user portfolio specific market views. These securities include corporate bonds including emerging market debt. The BondsPRO platform provides users the ability to obtain real-time executable bids or offers on thousands of bond offerings sourced directly from broker-dealers and other end users. Unlike other electronic trading platforms that charge subscription fees, access charges, ticket fees, or commissions in order to generate revenue, our model allows us to generate revenue through mark-ups or mark-downs on secondary market securities.
 
On February 2, 2011, the Company, through Bonds MBS, Inc., (“Bonds MBS”) a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an asset purchase Agreement with Beacon Capital Strategies, Inc., a broker-dealer (“Beacon”) acquiring Beacon’s electronic platform. The Beacon electronic platform integrates full function trading capability for all classes of asset-backed securities (“ABS”), mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”), and commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”).  In December 2011, the Company operations of Beacon ceased.  Accordingly, intangible assets, net of amortization of $147,939, of $924,061 were  considered impaired and charged to operations, in the fourth quarter, during the year ended December 31, 2011.
 
 Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents.
 
 
F-8

 
 
BONDS.COM GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
Deposits with Clearing Organizations
 
Deposits with Clearing Organizations consist of (a) cash proceeds from commissions and fees related to securities transactions net of all associated costs, and (b) a cash deposit by the Company to satisfy our broker-dealer’s regulatory net capital requirements. The balance primarily is comprised of cash and cash equivalents.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company executes transactions between its clients and liquidity providers.  It acts as an intermediary in these transactions by serving as a trading counterparty to both the buyer and the seller in matching back-to-back trades, which are then settled through a clearing firm.  Securities transactions and the related revenues and expenses are recorded on a trade-date basis.  Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.
 
Fair Value Financial Instruments
 
The carrying values of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values based on the short-term nature of such items. The carrying values of notes payable approximate their fair values based on applicable market interest rates. Investments and the liability under derivative instruments are carried at fair value as described in Note 4.

Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided for on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets per the following table. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the estimated useful lives or related lease terms. The Company periodically reviews property and equipment to determine that the carrying values are not impaired.

Intangible Assets
 
Intangible assets are initially recorded at cost, or fair value if acquired in a business combination. Amortization is provided for on a straight-line basis for definite-lived intangible assets over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The Company’s domain name (www.bonds.com) has an indefinite life and is not subject to amortization. The Company evaluates the recoverability of intangible assets periodically and takes into account events or circumstances that warrant revised estimates of useful lives or that indicate that impairment exists. When events or circumstances indicate impairment may exist, the Company assesses the recoverability of its definite lived intangible assets by determining whether the unamortized balance can be recovered over the assets remaining life though undiscounted forecasted cash flows.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
 
The Company reviews its long-lived assets, both property and equipment and definite-lived intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets may not be recoverable. For purposes of evaluating the recoverability of long-lived assets, the recoverability test is performed using undiscounted net cash flows related to the long-lived assets. An impairment loss of $924,061 was recognized relating to Beacon's intangibles during the year ended December 31, 2011.

Income Taxes

Current income taxes are based on the year’s taxable income for federal and state income tax reporting purposes. Deferred income taxes are provided on a liability basis whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss carry forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax law and rates on the date of enactment. The Company records a liability for uncertain tax positions when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters as a component of income tax expense. The Company’s 2008, 2009, and 2010 tax year remains subject to examination by taxing authorities. The Company has determined that it does not have any significant uncertain tax positions at December 31, 2011 and 2010.

Marketing and Advertising Costs
 
Marketing and advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Marketing and advertising expenses for the year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 were $109,903 and $350,379, respectively.
 
Share-Based Compensation
 
Equity-based awards granted by the Company are recorded as compensation. These costs are measured at the grant date (based upon an estimate of the fair value of the equity instrument granted) and recorded to expense over the requisite service period, which generally is the vesting period. The fair value of share-based compensation arrangements are estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
 
Reclassification
 
Prior year numbers have been regrouped or reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
 
Recent Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a significant effect on the accompanying financial statements.

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued new guidance which amends fair value disclosures for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011.  Such amendments include a consistent definition of fair value, enhanced disclosure requirements for Level 3 fair value adjustments and other changes to required disclosures.  The Company does not expect this amendment to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements and will comply with the disclosure enhancements of this amendment when the amendment is effective.

Note 3 - Going Concern
 
Since its inception, the Company has generated limited revenues and has an accumulated deficit of approximately $45,000,000 and a working capital deficit of approximately $6,000,000 at December 31, 2011, used approximately $14,000,000 of cash in operations for the year ended December 31, 2011 and at December 31, 2011 had a stockholders' deficiency of approximately $5,000,000. Operations have been funded using proceeds received from the issuance of common and preferred stock and the issuance of notes to related and unrelated parties.

These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company raised $10,300,000 of new capital funded in December 2011 ($10,000,000) and January 2012 ($300,000) and received a commitment from the same investors for a total of an additional $6,700,000 upon achieving certain performance benchmarks. While the achievement of those benchmarks is not certain, the Company expects that its business will continue to grow and meet its plan for 2012 and beyond, and therefore it will be in a position to receive this additional capital in July, 2012.  If the Company does not obtain this additional capital, its ability to continue to implement its business plan may be limited.

BONDS.COM GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern, which assumes the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the resolution of this contingency.
 
Note 4 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
Authoritative accounting guidance defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
 
The fair value hierarchy measures the financial assets in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are:

Level 1 – Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in active exchange markets, or interest in open-end mutual funds that allow a company to sell its ownership interest back at net asset value (“NAV”) on a daily basis. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets, liabilities or funds.
   
Level 2 – Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in less active dealer, or broker markets, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities or quoted prices in markets that are not active. Level 2 includes U.S. Treasury, U.S. government and agency debt securities, and mortgage-backed securities. Valuations are usually obtained from third party pricing services for identical or comparable assets or liabilities.
   
Level 3 – Valuations for assets and liabilities that are derived from other valuation methodologies, such as option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques, and not based on market exchange, dealers, or broker-traded transactions. Level 3 valuations incorporate certain assumptions and projections in determining the fair value assigned to such assets or liabilities.

The availability of observable inputs can vary from instrument to instrument and in certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to measuring the fair value of an instrument requires judgment and consideration of factors specific to the instrument.
  
Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company’s derivative financial instruments consist of conversion options embedded in convertible promissory notes and warrants issued in connection with the sale of common and preferred stock that contain “down round” protection to the holders. These derivatives are valued with pricing models using inputs that are generally observable. The Company considers these models to involve significant judgment on the part of management.  The fair values of the Company’s derivative financial instruments are considered to be in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company estimates the fair value of derivatives utilizing the Binomial Lattice pricing model. This model is dependent upon several variables such as the expected instruments term, expected strike price, expected risk-free interest rate over the expected instrument  term, the expected dividend yield rate over the expected instrument  term and the expected volatility of the Company’s stock price over the expected term. The expected term represents the period of time that the instruments granted are expected to be outstanding. The expected strike price is based upon a weighted average probability analysis of the strike price changes expected during the term as a result of the down round protection.  The risk-free rates are based on U.S. Treasury securities with similar maturities as the expected terms of the options at the date of issuance. Expected dividend yield is based on historical trends. During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company estimated the volatility of its common stock based on an average of published volatilities contained in the most recent audited financial statements of other publicly reporting companies in the similar industry to that of the Company since the Company had determined in 2009 that the historical prices of its publicly-traded common stock no longer was the best proxy to estimate the Company’s volatility.  Commencing in the quarter ended September 30, 2011, the Company determined that the prior methodology for measuring volatility of its common stock was no longer the best estimate of volatility. The Company began to measure volatility using a blended weighted average of the volatility rates for a number of similar publicly-traded companies along with the Company’s historical volatility.
 
 
F-11

 
 
BONDS.COM GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
Commencing with the quarter ended March 31, 2011, the Company changed its methodology for measuring the market price of its common stock which was previously based on its over-the-counter market trading price. The Company determined that the historical prices and trading volume of its publicly-traded common stock were no longer sufficient to determine the readily determinable fair value of the Company’s stock. The over-the-counter market has not been active and private sales of the Company’s shares sold are significantly lower than the historical trading price. The Company now obtains an independent valuation for determining the market price of its common stock.

Level 3 Assets and Liabilities
 
Level 3 liabilities include instruments whose value is determined using pricing models and for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

Fair values of assets measured on a recurring basis at December 31, 2011 and 2010 are as follows:
 
            Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets / Liabilities     Significant Other Observable Inputs     Significant Unobservable Inputs

Note 7 - Business Acquisition 

On February 2, 2011, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Beacon whereby it purchased substantially all of the assets of Beacon. Beacon previously was engaged in the development and offering of an electronic trading platform for trades in mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities.  As consideration for the purchase of the Beacon assets, the Company issued to the former shareholders of Beacon 10,000 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series C” Preferred). The shares of Series C Preferred issued to Beacon were convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock.  The number of shares of Common Stock for which the Series C Preferred may be converted was contingent, and was to be determined based on the future performance of the Beacon platform.

As a result of an independent valuation, the fair value of the consideration given and the net assets and liabilities acquired, was determined to be $1,072,000.

On December 5, 2011, and as a condition to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Unit Purchase Agreement, the Company and Oak Investment Partners XII, Limited Partnership (“Oak”) as successor of Beacon, entered into an Amendment to the Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement").  Prior to the Amendment the number of shares and liquidation preference were to be determined based on certain performance measures, with the number of shares ranging from zero to a maximum of 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock and the Company was required to provide specified levels of support for the Beacon platform.  Pursuant to the Amendment,  the number of shares will currently be equal to 25,000,000 shares of Common Stock (see Note 13) and the Company will no longer be required to give any level of support to the operations of the business of Beacon.

The following table summarizes management’s fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition.

During the year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company recognized $232,869 and $524,211 in interest expense related to the amortization of the debt discount associated with the warrants.

Non-Related Parties

During the period from September 24, 2008 through December 31, 2008, the Company also executed secured convertible promissory note and warrant agreements with certain third-party investors in the aggregate principal amount of $575,000 and warrants to purchase 383,337 shares of the Company's commons stock at an exercise price of $0.46875 per share.

On January 30, 2009, the Company executed secured convertible promissory note and warrant purchase agreements with unrelated third party investors, in the principal amount of $125,000 and warrants to purchase 83,334 shares of the Company's commons stock at an exercise price of $0.46875 per share.

During the period from April 1, 2009 through June 30, 2009, the Company also executed secured convertible promissory note and warrant purchase agreements with certain third-party investors in the aggregate principal amount of $575,000 (collectively the “Convertible Notes”). In connection with the execution of the convertible note and warrant purchase agreements, the third-party investors were issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 383,341 shares of the Company's common stock.

BONDS.COM GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
The Convertible Notes are secured by all of the assets of Bonds.com Group, Inc. and Bonds.com Holdings. Inc pursuant to the terms and conditions of a Security Agreement, dated September 24, 2008, as amended on February 3, 2009.

On May 28, 2010, the Company again amended and restated the Security Agreement to among other things, add the holders of the related party notes purchased in May 2010 as secured parties.

The warrants (issued in conjunction with the convertible notes) were valued at the time of issuance using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: (i) risk free interest rates ranging from 1.55 % to 2.91%, (ii) a contractual life of 5 years, (iii) expected volatility of 50% and (iv) a dividend yield of zero. The relative fair value of the warrants, based on an allocation of the value of the Convertible Notes and the value of the warrants issued in conjunction with the Convertible Notes, was recorded as a debt discount (with a corresponding increase to additional paid-in capital) in the amount of $355,472, and is being amortized to interest expense over the expected term of the Convertible Notes.
 
The Company has accounted for the conversion feature of  the Convertible Notes as a debt discount. The conversion feature was valued at the time of issuance using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: (i) risk free interest rates ranging from 0.78 % to 2.03%, (ii) a contractual life of 2 years, (iii) expected volatility of 50% and (iv) a dividend yield of zero. The fair value of the conversion feature was recorded as a debt discount in the amount of $719,338, and is being amortized to interest expense over the expected term of the Convertible Notes. The conversion feature  is classified as a derivative liability as a result of the down-round provisions and resulted in the debt discount, which is being marked-to-market each reporting period with corresponding changes in the fair value being recorded as unrealized gains or losses on derivative financial instruments in the consolidated statement of operations.

Subsequent transactions affecting convertible notes

On October 19, 2010, the Company entered into an Amendment No. 2 to Convertible Secured Promissory Notes with the holder of a majority in principal amount of our Convertible Secured Promissory Notes issued on September 24, 2008, an Amendment No. 1 to Convertible Secured Promissory Note with the holder of our Convertible Secured Promissory Note issued on April 30, 2009 and an Amendment No. 1 to Convertible Secured Promissory Notes with the holders of the Company's Convertible Secured Promissory Notes issued on June 8, 2009 (collectively, the “Note Amendments”). The Note Amendments restructure approximately $2,990,636 of the outstanding Convertible Secured Promissory Notes to related and non-related parties (the “Subject Notes”) as follows:

The maturity date of each of the Subject Notes was extended until October 12, 2013; provided, however, that from and after April 12, 2012, the holders of the Subject Notes may make a written demand to the Company for the payment of the entire unpaid principal balance thereof together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon and the Company shall be required to repay such outstanding principal and interest within ninety (90) days of its receipt of such demand;
   
The conversion price of the Subject Notes was fixed at $0.24 per share (which was the then current conversion price of the Subject Notes as a result of adjustments based on the price per share of Common Stock issued in the Company’s recently completed warrant exchange offer). Such conversion price is subject to further adjustment on the occurrence of certain events. However, the “full-ratchet” adjustment provision of the Subject Notes was eliminated; and
   
Holders of the Subject Notes shall have contingent rights to receive up to 12,460,983 shares of the Company's Common Stock if the Company fails to meet certain performance target based on the Company’s revenue for the twelve-month period ending in February 2012 (the “Contingent Performance Shares”).   Through December 31, 2011, 5,800,170 shares have been earned.

On February 2, 2011, the Company sold securities with an effective price per common share of $0.07.  Accordingly, the conversion price of the Subject Notes was set at $0.07 per common share and there was no longer a “full-ratchet” adjustment. As a result, the Company recorded a gain on settled derivative of $465,952.

On December 28, 2011, the Company entered into and consummated a Repayment and Termination Agreement with certain Note holders of the Company. The Noteholders had secured convertible promissory notes aggregating $1,109,106 of principal and accrued interest (the “Notes”), warrants to purchase an aggregate of 566,673 shares of the Company’s common stock; and  Contingent Performance Shares up to an aggregate of 3,541,667 shares of the common stock.

BONDS.COM GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
Pursuant to the Repayment and Termination Agreement, the Company paid the Noteholders an aggregate of $873,037 and, in exchange, warrants and rights to Contingent Performance Shares were terminated.  This agreement resulted in the Company recording a gain of $231,512 which was recorded in other expenses (net).

During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company estimated 3,567,724 of Contingent Performance Shares may be issued based on projected gross revenue of $4,500,000 by February 2, 2012. The value of the common stock at December 31, 2011 resulted in a $107,032 finance charge.

During the year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company also recognized $126,861 and $279,763 in interest expense on the Convertible Notes Payable related parties and non-related parties, respectively.
 
On February 1, 2012, the Company entered into an agreement with the Receiver regarding the repayment of certain indebtedness, the termination of certain rights and the repurchase of certain securities in the Company owned beneficially or of record by the Receiver.
 
The Company agreed to pay the Receiver $2,250,000 and in exchange the Receiver would cancel and terminate all Notes owed by the Company, amounting to approximately $2,442,000 in principal and accrued interest, and  terminate any rights to the “Contingent Performance Shares.  Such termination includes, among other things, a release of all liens in favor of the Receiver with respect to the assets of the Company, and a termination of all of the Company’s obligations to the Receiver pursuant to all financing documents related to such indebtedness.  The carrying value of the notes amounted to $1,840,636, inclusive of $100,000 included in notes payable.

This was approved by the Receiver and by the Courts in April 2012 and the $2,250,000 was paid by the Company.

Further, under the terms, and subject to the conditions, of the Agreement, the Company would pay the Receiver $5,000 and  in consideration the Receiver would surrender to the Company all outstanding shares of held constituting 7,582,850 shares of the Company’s common stock. The agreement also includes terms to delay the Stock Repurchase if necessary to comply with Delaware law, but if the Stock Repurchase does not occur within one year after the entry of the Court Order, then the Company will promptly reimburse the Receiver for costs and expenses incurred by him to defer consummation of the Stock Repurchase.  In addition, if the Stock Repurchase is not consummated on or prior to January 31, 2014, then the Receiver’s and the Company’s respective obligations with respect to the Stock Repurchase shall terminate.

Warrants issued in connection with Preferred Stock Series D & E issuances

On February 2, 2011, the Company issued warrants pursuant to the Preferred Stock Series D Unit Purchase Agreements which included provisions containing a cashless net exercise election and  providing that, for a period of 18 months following the date of the Unit Purchase Agreement, if the Company issues shares of Common Stock (or is deemed to issue shares of Common Stock) for a price per share less than $0.07, then the exercise price of the Common Stock Warrants will be reduced by a “weighted-average” anti-dilution formula (subject to certain exempted issuances).

Due to the down-round provision, all warrants issued are recognized as derivative liabilities at their respective fair values on each reporting date. The fair values of these warrants were estimated using a Binomial Lattice valuation model, which is being marked-to-market each reporting period with corresponding changes in the fair value being recorded as unrealized gains or losses on derivative financial instruments in the consolidated statement of operations.
 
The Company issued 92,857,143 warrants in connection with the Unit Purchase Agreements.  The warrants had an initial exercise price of $0.07 and a term of five years.  The fair value the warrants issued at grant date, which amounted to $455,000, was determined using the a Binomial Lattice valuation model at $0.0049 per warrant utilizing the following assumptions, expected volatility of 66.00%, risk-free interest rate of 2.10%, expected term of 5 years, weighted average probability strike price of $0.0610 and a market price of $0.02.

On March 7, and June 23, 2011 the Company issued 5,714,286 and 28,571,429 warrants respectively in connection with the Unit Purchase Agreements .  The fair value of the warrants issued at grant date, which amounted to $28,000 and $134,286, was determined using a Binomial Lattice valuation model ranging from $0.0047 to $0.0049 per warrants utilizing the following assumptions, expected volatility of 66.00%, risk-free interest rate ranging from 1.49% to 2.19% ,expected term of 1.5 years, weighted average probability strike price of $0.0610 and a market price of $0.02.

On December 5, 2011, the Company issued 142,857,144 warrants in connection with the Preferred Stock Series E-2 Unit Purchase Agreements.  The warrants had the same terms as the Preferred Stock Series D Unit Purchase Agreements.  The fair value of the warrants issued at grant date, which amounted to $3,485,715, was determined using a Binomial Lattice valuation model at $0.0244 per warrant utilizing the following assumptions, expected volatility of 166,93%, risk-free interest rate of 0.93%, expected term of 5 years, weighted average probability strike price of $0.0635 and a market price of $0.03.

Note 14 - Earnings (Loss) Per Share
 
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing loss available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share considers the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that shared in the earnings of the entity.  No diluted loss per share has computed since the effect of any potentially dilutive securities would be antidilutive.  Potentially dilutive securities excluded from the calculation of weighted average common shares outstanding for 2011 include 376,294,477 both, common stock and preferred series A warrants, 80,475,817 common stock underlying stock options, 40,321,253 shares issuable under convertible notes payable and 363,485,104 shares issuable under preferred stock all which have the ability to be converted to common stock.

Bonds.com is currently undergoing an examination by FINRA for 2011 which, as of the date of this report, is ongoing.

Note 16 - Share-Based Compensation
 
The Company has two equity-based compensation plans which have not been approved by stockholders, the 2006 Equity Plan (the “2006 Plan”) and 2011 Equity Plan (the “2011 Equity Plan’), which are effective for 10 years. The 2006 Plan and 2011 Plan provides for a total of 13,133,825 and 72,850,000 shares, respectively, shares to be allocated and reserved for the purposes of offering non-statutory stock options to employees and consultants and incentive stock options to employees.  If any option expires, terminates or is terminated or canceled for any reason prior to exercise in full, the shares subject to the unexercised portion shall be available for future options granted under the Plan.  Options become exercisable over various vesting periods depending on the nature of the grant. Certain option awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control (as defined in the Plans).  Collectively, the 2006 Plan and the 2011 Plan are referred to as the “Plans”.

The exercise price of both incentive and non-statutory options may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on date of grant; provided, however, that the exercise price of an incentive stock option granted to a 10% Shareholder shall not be less than 110% of the fair market value of the Company's common stock.  As of December 31, 2011, the Company had 26,215,160 options available to grant under the 2011 Plan and 2,245,287 options available to grant under the 2006 Plan.

The Company granted an aggregate of 58,965,534 options outside the Plans, of which 9,500,000 was granted to non-employees.

The weighted-average grant date fair value of options granted to employees during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 was $0.03 and $0.20, respectively.  The fair value of each option award was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following weighted-average assumptions:

   
2011
 
2010
 
Dividend yield
 
-
 
-
 
Expected volatility
 
66.00% - 168.16%

1.04% - 2.10%
 
2.86% - 3.61%
 
Expected life (in years)
 
4 - 5
 
7 - 10
 
 
The weighted-average expected life for the options granted in 2011 of 4.85 years reflects the alternative simplified method permitted by authoritative guidance, which defines the expected life as the average of the contractual term of the options and the weighted-average vesting period for all option tranches.  Expected volatility for the 2011 option grants prior to July 1, 2011 is based on historical volatility over the same number of years as the expected life, prior to the option grant date. Beginning July 1, 2011, expected volatility is based on an average of the Company’s volatility plus comparable companies over the same number of years as the expected life.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
As of December 31, 2011, there was approximately $1,200,000 of unrecognized compensation cost related to options issued of which approximately $457,000 shall be allocated to Bonds.com, Inc.  This amount is expected to be recognized over the remaining estimated life of the options, which on a weighted-average basis is approximately 3.12 years.

There were no options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.  Tax benefits related to option exercises were not deemed to be realized as net operating loss carryforwards are available to offset taxable income computed without giving effect to the deductions related to option exercises.

Non-cash compensation expense relating to stock options was calculated by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, amortizing the value calculated over the vesting period and applying a zero forfeiture percentage as estimated by the Company's management, using historical information.  The Company has elected to recognize compensation cost for option awards that have graded vesting schedules on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award.  For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the non-cash compensation expense relating to option grants amounted to $1,396,751 and $2,947,708, respectively, of which  $408,459 and $700,081, respectively, were allocated to Bonds.com, Inc.  The compensation expenses is included in payroll and related costs in the consolidated statements of operations.

Note 17 - Income Taxes

Current income taxes are based on the year’s taxable income for federal and state income tax reporting purposes. Deferred income taxes are provided on a liability basis whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax law and rates on the date of enactment.

The components of the provision for income taxes from continuing operations are as follows for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010:

In accordance with certain provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986 a change in ownership of greater than fifty percent (50%) of a corporation within a three (3) year period will place an annual limitation on the corporation’s ability to utilize its existing tax carryforward losses. The Company’s management has not performed this analysis, but based on the various issuances of equity during the last two fiscal years, the Company believes that the utilization of its net operating loss carryforwards will be limited under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.
