OFFERING CIRCULAR
Smart Biometric Technology, Inc.
5,000,000 Shares of Common Stock
By this Offering Circular, Smart Biometric Technology, Inc., a Nevada corporation, is offering for sale a maximum of 5,000,000 shares of its common stock (the “Offered Shares”), at a fixed price of $0.50 per share, pursuant to Tier 2 of Regulation A of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). A minimum purchase of $5,000 of the Offered Shares is required in this offering; any additional purchase must be in an amount of at least $1,000. This offering is being conducted on a best-efforts basis, which means that there is no minimum number of Offered Shares that must be sold by us for this offering to close; thus, we may receive no or minimal proceeds from this offering. All proceeds from this offering will become immediately available to us and may be used as they are accepted. Purchasers of the Offered Shares will not be entitled to a refund and could lose their entire investments. Please see the “Risk Factors” section, beginning on page 4, for a discussion of the risks associated with a purchase of the Offered Shares.
We estimate that this offering will commence within two days of SEC qualification; this offering will terminate at the earliest of (a) the date on which the maximum offering has been sold, (b) the date which is one year from this offering being qualified by the SEC or (c) the date on which this offering is earlier terminated by us, in our sole discretion. (See “Plan of Distribution”).

Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our common stock. We intend to apply to list our common stock on the OTC Pink trading platform of OTC Markets Group, Inc. (“OTC Markets”). We have not yet obtained the agreement of a market maker to file a Rule 211 application with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) to obtain a trade symbol for our common stock. Such efforts may not be successful and our shares may never be listed and owners of our common stock may not have a market in which to sell their shares.
Investing in the Offered Shares is speculative and involves substantial risks, including the superior voting rights of our outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, which preclude current and future owners of our common stock, including the Offered Shares, from influencing any corporate decision.
The Series B Convertible Preferred Stock has the following voting rights: the outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to vote on any matter with the holders of common stock voting together as one (1) class and shall have that number of votes (identical in every other respect to the voting rights of the holder of common stock entitled to vote at any regular or special meeting of shareholders) equal to that number of common shares which is not less than 51% of the vote required to approve any action.
Our CEO and Director, Chaya Hendrick, as the owner of all outstanding shares of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, will, therefore, be able to control the management and affairs of our company, as well as matters requiring the approval by our shareholders, including the election of directors, any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially
all of our assets, and any other significant corporate transaction. (See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to a Purchase of the Offered Shares”).
You should purchase Offered Shares only if you can afford a complete loss of your investment. See Risk Factors, beginning on page 4, for a discussion of certain risks that you should consider before purchasing any of the Offered Shares.

Our Company
Smart Biometric Technology, Inc. was incorporated pursuant to the laws of Nevada on September 12, 2022, and operates as a development-stage company engaged in the technology industry.
We are a technology company specializing in the manufacture of advanced miniature biometric devices for the new world of digital currency. This includes the storage of digital currency on a payments card that can be used at checkouts equipped with bar code readers, as the card has a very thin display screen that is able to display QR codes which are able to be used to perform a digital payment transaction at a checkout. The QR code display is triggered by the person’s fingerprint using the inbuilt fingerprint sensor in the card.
The biometric fingerprint activated “display” card is also able to be used as an advanced ID card that only displays a person’s color photograph after the card holder touches the card’s fingerprint sensor and a successful instant fingerprint match. The card has built in RFID allowing the card to be used for door opening security as well as a network security capable smartcard chip that can be used for biometric secure access to corporate and/or government computer networks.
In addition, we have developed the world’s smallest multi-function card reader that can be used as an advanced interface between payment and or security cards and laptops and smart phones. (See “Business”).

An investment in the Offered Shares involves substantial risks. You should carefully consider the following risk factors, in addition to the other information contained in this Offering Circular, before purchasing any of the Offered Shares. The occurrence of any of the following risks might cause you to lose a significant part of your investment. The risks and uncertainties discussed below are not the only ones we face, but do represent those risks and uncertainties that we believe are most significant to our business, operating results, prospects and financial condition. Some statements in this Offering Circular, including statements in the following risk factors, constitute forward-looking statements. (See “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”).
Risks Related to Our Company
There is a substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The report of our independent auditors that accompanies our financial statements includes an explanatory paragraph indicating there is a substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, citing our need for additional capital for the future planned expansion of our activities and to service our ordinary course activities (which may include servicing of indebtedness). The inclusion of a going concern explanatory paragraph in the report of our independent auditors will make it more difficult for us to secure additional financing or enter into strategic relationships on terms acceptable to us, if at all, and likely will materially and adversely affect the terms of any financing that we might obtain. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
We are an early-stage company, have no product revenues, are not profitable and may never be profitable. We must obtain capital, including in this offering, with which to implement our business plans. At September 30, 2023, we had an accumulated deficit of $149,210 (unaudited). Our net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was $147,776 (unaudited).
We have never made any sales and have never generated revenues and we anticipate none will be generated for the foreseeable future. We expect to incur significant operating losses for the foreseeable future as we continue the development of our products. Accordingly, we will need additional capital to fund our continuing operations and any expansion plans. Since we do not generate any revenue, the most likely source of such additional capital is the sale of our securities. To the extent that we raise additional capital by issuing equity securities, our shareholders are likely to experience dilution with regard to their percentage ownership of the company, which may be significant. If we raise additional capital by incurring debt, we could incur significant interest expense and become subject to covenants that could affect the manner in which we conduct our business, including securing such debt obligations with our assets.
To date, we have generated only losses, which are expected to continue for the foreseeable future. Our net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was $147,776 (unaudited), and our net loss for the period from inception (September 12, 2022) through December 31, 2022, was $1,434. We may not be able to achieve expected results. We may continue to incur losses and may be unable to achieve profitability. We cannot assure you that our net losses and negative cash flow will not accelerate and surpass our expectations, nor can we assure you that we will ever generate any net income or positive cash flow.
We may not be able to continue as a going concern if we do not obtain additional financing by March 31, 2024. Since our inception, we have funded our operations through the sale of our securities. Our cash and cash equivalents balance at September 30, 2023, was $51,791 (unaudited). Based on our current expected level of operating expenditures, we expect to only be able to fund our operations through March 31, 2024. Our ability to continue as a going concern is wholly dependent upon obtaining sufficient capital to fund our operations. We have no committed sources of additional capital, including in this offering. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that we will be able to secure additional capital through financing transactions, including in this offering and by the issuance of debt, or through other means. In the event that we are not able to secure additional funding, we may be forced to cease operations or file for bankruptcy.
Raising capital may be difficult as a result of our history of losses and limited operating history in our current stage of development. Our history of losses and relatively limited operating history in our current stage of development makes such evaluation, as well as any estimation of our future performance, substantially more difficult. As a result, investors may be unwilling to invest in us or on terms or conditions which are acceptable. If we are unable to secure additional financing, we may need to materially scale back our business plan and/or operations or cease operations.
We have a limited operating history as a company and may not be able to effectively operate our business. Our limited staff and operating history mean that there is a high degree of uncertainty regarding our ability to:
•develop our technologies and proposed products;
•identify, hire, and retain the needed personnel to implement our business plan and sell our products;
•manage our growth and/or successfully scale our business; or
4
•respond to competition.
No assurances can be given as to exactly when, if at all, we will be able to fully develop, and take the necessary steps to derive any revenues from our proposed products.
Our business depends upon our ability to keep pace with the latest technological changes, and our failure to do so could make us less competitive in our industry. The market for our products and services is characterized by rapid change and technological improvements. Failure to respond in a timely and cost-effective way to these technological developments may result in serious harm to our business and operating results. As a result, our success will depend, in part, on our ability to develop and market service offerings that respond in a timely manner to the technological advances of available to our customers, evolving industry standards and changing preferences.
Our potential competitors have significantly greater resources than we have, which may make competing difficult. We compete against numerous companies, many of which have substantially greater resources than we have. Several such competitors have large teams of engineers and scientists that attempt to develop products and technologies similar to ours. Companies such as Gemalto, Giesecke & Devrient, IDEMIA, as well as others, have substantially greater financial, research, manufacturing and marketing resources than we do. As a result, such competitors may find it easier to compete in our industry and bring competing products to market.
Our key personnel and directors are critical to our business, and such key personnel may not remain with our company in the future. We depend on the continued employment of our Chief Executive Officer, Chaya Hendrick and technical contracted personnel. If any of these key personnel were to leave and not be replaced with sufficiently qualified and experienced personnel, our business could be adversely affected. In particular, our current strategy to penetrate the market for contactless logical access identification and transaction solutions is heavily dependent on the vision, leadership and experience of our Chief Executive Officer.
Our continued success will depend, to a significant extent, upon the performance and contributions of Chaya Hendrick and upon our ability to attract motivate and retain highly qualified management personnel and employees. We depend on Chaya Hendrick to effectively manage our business in a highly competitive environment. If one or more of our key officers join a competitor or form a competing company, we may experience interruptions in product development, delays in bringing products to market, difficulties in our relationships with customers and loss of additional personnel, which could significantly harm our business, financial condition, operating results and projected growth.
We currently employ a part-time Chief Financial Officer, Jay Needelman, who is also a member of our Board of Directors. The loss of services of any of our key management personnel, whether through resignation or other causes, the reduced services of our part-time Chief Financial Officer, or the inability to attract qualified personnel as needed, could prevent us from adequately executing our business strategy.
Rapid technological changes could make our services or products less attractive. The smart card, biometric identification and personal identification industries are characterized by rapid technological change, frequent new product innovations, changes in customer requirements and expectations and evolving industry standards. If we are unable to keep pace with these changes, our business may be harmed. Products using new technologies, or emerging industry standards, could make our technologies less attractive. In addition, we may face unforeseen problems when developing our products, which could harm our business. Furthermore, our competitors may have access to technologies not available to us, which may enable them to produce products of greater interest to consumers or at a more competitive cost.
Sales of our products depend on the development of emerging applications in their target markets and on diversifying and expanding our customer base in new markets and geographic regions, all of which may be financially burdensome or unsuccessful. Our intent is to market and sell our products primarily to the private sector while addressing emerging applications that have not yet reached a stage of mass adoption or deployment. The market for some of these solutions (electronic biometric fingerprinting) is at an early stage of deployment in the private sector compared to other forms of services that try to identify a person through simpler means (by their name, social security number, etc.) Additionally, we have a strategy of expanding sales of existing products into new geographic markets. In the event that we are unable to adequately develop our applications or gain traction in these emerging markets, or that the cost of the foregoing is too great, our business may be harmed.
Continuing disruption in the global financial markets may adversely impact customers and customer spending patterns. Continuing disruption in the global financial markets as a result of the ongoing global financial uncertainty may cause consumers, businesses and governments to defer purchases in response to tighter credit, decreased cash availability and declining consumer confidence. Accordingly, demand for our products could decrease and differ materially from their current expectations. Further, some of our customers may require substantial financing in order to fund their operations and make purchases from us. The inability of these customers to obtain sufficient credit to finance purchases of our products and meet their payment obligations to us or possible
5
insolvencies of our customers could result in decreased customer demand, an impaired ability for us to collect on outstanding accounts receivable, significant delays in accounts receivable payments, and significant write-offs of accounts receivable, each of which could adversely impact our financial results.
Our quarter-to-quarter performance may vary substantially, and this variance, as well as general market conditions, may cause our stock price, once it begins to trade, to fluctuate greatly and even potentially expose us to litigation. We have not yet generated any revenues under our business plan and we cannot accurately estimate future revenue and operating expenses based on historical performance. Our quarterly operating results may vary significantly based on many factors, including:
•fluctuating demand for our potential products and services;
•announcements or implementation by our competitors of new products;
•amount and timing of our costs related to our marketing efforts or other initiatives;
•timing and amounts relating to the expansion of our operations;
•our ability to enter into, renegotiate or renew key agreements;
•timing and amounts relating to the expansion of our operations; or
•economic conditions specific to our industry, as well as general economic conditions.
Our current and future expense estimates are based, in large part, on estimates of future revenue, which is difficult to predict. We expect to make significant operating and capital expenditures in connection with the development of our plan of business. We may be unable to, or may elect not to, adjust spending quickly enough to offset any unexpected revenue shortfall. If our increased expenses were not accompanied by increased revenue in the same quarter, our quarterly operating results would be harmed.
It is possible that the Coronavirus (“Covid-19”) pandemic could cause long-lasting stock market volatility and weakness, as well as long-lasting recessionary effects on the United States and/or global economies. Should the negative economic impact caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the responses thereto result in continuing long-term economic weakness in the United States and/or globally, our ability to expand our business would be severely negatively impacted. It is possible that our company would not be able to sustain during any such long-term economic weakness. The COVID-19 pandemic has, to date, had minimal impact on our operations.
If we fail to effectively manage our growth, and effectively develop our business, our business will be harmed. Failure to manage growth of operations could harm our business. To date, a significant amount of activities and resources have been directed at developing our business plan and potential related products. In order to effectively manage growth, we must:
•continue to develop an effective planning and management process to implement our business strategy;
•hire, train and integrate new personnel in all areas of our business; and
•increase capital investments.
We cannot assure you that we will be able to accomplish these tasks or effectively manage our growth.
We are subject to the risks frequently experienced by smaller reporting companies. The likelihood of our success must be considered in light of the risks frequently encountered by smaller reporting companies. These risks include our potential inability to:
•establish product sales and marketing capabilities.
•identify, attract, retain, and motivate qualified personnel.
•maintain our reputation and build trust with consumers.
•attract sufficient capital resources to develop our business.
Our Board of Directors may change our policies without shareholder approval. Our policies, including any policies with respect to investments, leverage, financing, growth, debt and capitalization, will be determined by our Board of Directors or officers to whom our Board of Directors delegate such authority. Our Board of Directors will also establish the amount of any dividends or other distributions that we may pay to our shareholders. Our Board of Directors or officers to which such decisions are delegated will have the ability to amend or revise these and our other policies at any time without shareholder vote. Accordingly, our shareholders will not be entitled to approve changes in our policies, which policy changes may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
6
Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property
If we are not able to adequately protect our intellectual property, we may not be able to compete effectively. Our ability to compete depends in part upon the strength of our proprietary rights in our technologies, brands and content. The efforts we have taken to protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights may not be sufficient or effective at stopping unauthorized use of our intellectual property and proprietary rights. In addition, effective trademark, patent, copyright, and trade secret protection may not be available or cost-effective in every country in which our products are made available. There may be instances where we are not able to fully protect or utilize our intellectual property in a manner that maximizes competitive advantage. If we are unable to protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights from unauthorized use, the value of our products may be reduced, which could negatively impact our business. Our inability to obtain appropriate protections for our intellectual property may also allow competitors to enter our markets and produce or sell the same or similar products. In addition, protecting our intellectual property and other proprietary rights is expensive and diverts critical managerial resources. If any of the foregoing were to occur, or if we are otherwise unable to protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights, our business and financial results could be adversely affected. If we are forced to resort to legal proceedings to enforce our intellectual property rights, the proceedings could be burdensome and expensive. In addition, our proprietary rights could be at risk if we are unsuccessful in, or cannot afford to pursue, those proceedings.
We may incur substantial costs as a result of litigation or other proceedings relating to patent and other intellectual property rights and we may be unable to protect our rights to, or use of, our technology. Some or all of our patent applications may not issue as patents, or the claims of any issued patents may not afford meaningful protection for our technologies or products. In addition, patents issued to us or our licensors, if any, may be challenged and subsequently narrowed, invalidated, or circumvented. Patent litigation is widespread in our industry and could harm our business. Litigation might be necessary to protect our patent position or to determine the scope and validity of third-party proprietary rights. If we choose to go to court to stop someone else from using the inventions claimed in our patents, that individual or company would have the right to ask the court to rule that such patents are invalid and/or should not be enforced against that third party. These lawsuits are costly and we may not have the required resources to pursue such litigation or to protect our patent rights. In addition, there is a risk that the court might decide that these patents are not valid and that we do not have the right to stop the other party from using the inventions. There is also the risk that, even if the validity of these patents is upheld, the court could refuse to stop the other party on the grounds that such other party's activities do not infringe on our rights contained in these patents.
Furthermore, a third party may claim that we are using inventions covered by their patent rights and may go to court to stop us from engaging in our normal operations and activities, including making or selling our product candidates. These lawsuits are costly and could materially increase our operating expenses and divert the attention of managerial and technical personnel. There is a risk that a court would decide that we are infringing the third party's patents and would order us to stop the activities covered by the patents. In addition, there is a risk that a court would order us to pay the other party damages for having violated the other party's patents. It is not always clear to industry participants, including us, which patents cover various types of products or methods of use. The coverage of patents is subject to interpretation by the courts, and the interpretation is not always uniform.
Because some patent applications in the United States may be maintained in secrecy until the patents are issued, patent applications in the United States and many foreign jurisdictions are typically not published until eighteen months after filing, and publications in the scientific literature often lag behind actual discoveries, we cannot be certain that others have not filed patent applications for technology covered by our issued patents or that we were the first to invent the technology. Our competitors may have filed, and may in the future file, patent applications covering technology similar to ours. Any such patent application may have priority over our patent applications and could further require us to obtain rights to issued patents covering such technologies.
If another party has filed a United States patent application on inventions similar to ours, we may have to participate in an interference or other proceeding in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, or the PTO, or a court to determine priority of invention in the United States. The costs of these proceedings could be substantial, and it is possible that such efforts would be unsuccessful, resulting in a loss of our United States patent position with respect to such inventions.
Some of our competitors may be able to sustain the costs of complex patent litigation more effectively than we can because they have substantially greater resources. In addition, any uncertainties resulting from the initiation and continuation of any litigation could have a material adverse effect on our ability to raise the capital necessary to continue our operations.

Risks Relating to Market Approval and Government Regulations
Compliance with regulation of corporate governance and public disclosure diverts time and attention away from revenue generating activities. Our management team invests significant time and financial resources to comply with existing standards for public companies, which has led to management time and attention from developing our business to compliance activities which could have an adverse effect on our business.
Our technology relies on our ability to gain the acceptance and approval of large banking/credit card institutions, the failure to do so may materially harm our business. In the event that our proposed card products do not gain acceptance/approval amongst the large card issuing institutions in the United States and abroad, our cards will not be provided for use to customers. We currently have no plans to open our own bank/credit card issuing institution. Rather, we plan to rely on our ability to have our products and services accepted within the banking/credit card industries. Our failure to do so will have a materially negative impact on our ability to generate revenues and continue to operate our business.
Risks Relating to the Development and Manufacturing of Our Products
We currently rely on third party manufacturers and suppliers for certain components of our product; with such parties being, to some extent, outside of our control. We currently have limited internal manufacturing capability and intend to rely on third-party contract manufacturers or suppliers for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, factors outside of our control may result in material manufacturing delays and product shortages, which could delay or otherwise negatively impact our manufacturing and product development plans. Should we be forced to manufacture our proposed products, we cannot give any assurance that we would be able to develop internal manufacturing capabilities. In the event that we seek third party suppliers or alternative manufacturers, they may require us to purchase a minimum amount of materials or could require other unfavorable terms. Any such event could materially impact our business prospects and could delay the development and manufacturing of our products. Moreover, we cannot give any assurance that the contract manufacturers or suppliers that we select will be able to supply our products in a timely or cost-effective manner or in accordance with our specifications.
We have a limited number of suppliers of key components and may experience difficulties in obtaining components for which there is significant demand, which would materially impact our business prospects. We rely upon a limited number of suppliers for some key components of our products. Our reliance on a limited number of suppliers may expose us to various risks including, without limitation, an inadequate supply of components, price increases, late deliveries, and poor component quality. In addition, some of the basic components we use in our products, such as biometric fingerprint devices and various smart card technologies may at any time be in great demand. This could result in components not being available to us in a timely manner or at all, particularly if larger companies have ordered more significant volumes of those components, or in higher prices being charged for components. Disruption or termination of the supply of components or software used in our products could delay shipments of these products. The following delays/factors from our third-party suppliers could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results and could also damage relationships with current and prospective customers:
•difficulties in staffing;
•adequate resources of qualified technicians, engineers/assemblers, and programmers;
•potentially adverse tax consequences;
•unexpected changes in regulatory requirements;
•tariffs and other trade barriers;
•export controls;
•political and economic instability; and
•late delivery of our products.
We utilize third party manufacturing plants for silicon for the manufacturing our products, which, in the event of growth would need to use large quantities of silicon, for which raw material shortages may occur. While we currently use silicon in our products, and no shortage currently exists of these materials, there can be no assurances that there will not be a shortage in the future, which may materially impact our manufacturing capabilities, growth prospects, and ability to generate revenue in the future.

Risks Related to a Purchase of the Offered Shares
There is no market for our common stock. There is currently no market for our common stock. However, we intend to apply to list our common stock on the OTC Pink trading platform of OTC Markets. We have not yet obtained the agreement of a market maker to file a Rule 211 application with FINRA to obtain a trading symbol for our common stock. There is no assurance that a trading market for our common stock will ever be established.
You may never realize any economic benefit from a purchase of Offered Shares. Because there is no current market for our common stock, there is no assurance that you will ever realize any economic benefit from your purchase of Offered Shares.
Our CEO, as the sole holder of our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, controls our company. Chaya Hendrick, our CEO and Director, holds all 500,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock currently outstanding (an additional 200,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is to be issued to Ms. Hendrick pursuant to a license agreement). The outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to vote on any matter with the holders of common stock voting together as one (1) class and shall have that number of votes (identical in every other respect to the voting rights of the holder of common stock entitled to vote at any regular or special meeting of shareholders) equal to that number of common shares which is not less than 51% of the vote required to approve any action, which Nevada law provides may or must be approved by vote or consent of the common shares or the holders of other securities entitled to vote, if any. Each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder, into fifty (50) shares of common stock upon the satisfaction of certain conditions and for purposes of determining a quorum of a shareholder meeting, the outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be deemed the equivalent of 51% of all shares of the Company’s Common Stock entitled to vote at such meetings. Accordingly, Ms. Hendrick can (without the approval of our other shareholders) elect our entire Board of Directors and determine the outcome of various matters submitted to shareholders for approval, including fundamental corporate transactions. Voting control by Ms. Hendrick may discourage certain types of transactions involving an actual or potential change in control of us, including transactions in which the holders of our common stock might receive a premium for their shares over prevailing market prices.
Our board of directors has broad discretion to issue additional securities. We are authorized under our Articles of Incorporation to issue up to 105,000,000 shares consisting of 100,000,000 shares of common stock and 5,000,000 “blank check” shares of preferred stock. Shares of our blank check preferred stock provide our Board of Directors with broad authority to determine voting, dividend, conversion, and other rights. As of the date of this Offering Circular, we have issued and outstanding 50,200,000 shares of common stock; and 500,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock that are convertible into a total of 50,000,000 shares of common stock at the election of the holder. Additionally, we have 200,000 shares of common stock reserved upon the exercise of outstanding warrants.
Further, as of the date of this Offering Circular, we are entitled to issue up to 4,500,000 additional shares of “blank check” preferred stock. Our Board of Directors may generally issue those common and preferred shares, or convertible securities to purchase those shares, without further approval by our shareholders. Any additional preferred shares we may issue could have such rights, preferences, privileges, and restrictions as may be designated from time-to-time by our Board, including preferential dividend rights, voting rights, conversion rights, redemption rights and liquidation provisions.
It is likely that we will issue additional securities to raise capital in order to further our business plans. It is also likely that we will issue additional securities to directors, officers, employees, and consultants as compensatory grants in connection with their services. Any issuances could be made at a price that reflects a discount to, or a premium from, the then-current market price of our common stock. These issuances would dilute the percentage ownership interest of our current shareholders, which would have the effect of reducing your influence on matters on which our stockholders vote and might dilute the net tangible book value per share of our common stock.
Failure to maintain effective internal controls in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results and stockholders could lose confidence in our financial reporting. Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and effectively prevent fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our operating results could be harmed. Failure to achieve and maintain an effective internal control environment, regardless of whether we are required to maintain such controls, could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a material adverse effect on our stock price. Our management assessed the design and operating effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2023, based on the framework set forth in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on that assessment, management concluded that, during the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2023.

We may seek capital that may result in shareholder dilution or that may have rights senior to those of our common stock, including the Offered Shares. From time to time, we may seek to obtain additional capital, either through equity, equity-linked or debt securities. The decision to obtain additional capital will depend on, among other factors, our business plans, operating performance and condition of the capital markets. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, equity-linked or debt securities, those securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to the rights of our common stock, which could negatively affect the market price of our common stock or cause our shareholders to experience dilution.
We do not intend to pay dividends on our common stock. We intend to retain earnings, if any, to provide funds for the implementation of our business strategy. We do not intend to declare or pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. Therefore, there can be no assurance that holders of our common stock will receive cash, stock or other dividends on their shares of our common stock, until we have funds which our Board of Directors determines can be allocated to dividends.
Our common stock will be a “Penny Stock” and subject to specific rules governing its sale to investors. The SEC has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a “penny stock,” for the purposes relevant to our Common Stock, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require that a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks; and the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.
In order to approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.
The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction.
Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the “penny stock” rules. This may make it more difficult for investors sell shares of our common stock.
Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
It can be expected that, if trading commences in our common stock, that our common stock would be thinly traded and its market price highly volatile. If trading in our common stock commences, of which there is no assurance, it is expected that such market would be limited in nature. A limited market is characterized by a relatively limited number of shares in the public float, relatively low trading volume and a small number of brokerage firms acting as market makers. The market for low-priced securities is generally less liquid and more volatile than securities traded on national stock markets. Wide fluctuations in market prices are not uncommon. No assurance can be given that the market for our common stock, if commenced, would continue. The price of our common stock may be subject to wide fluctuations in response to factors such as the following, some of which are beyond our control:
•price and volume fluctuations in the overall stock market from time to time;
•volatility in the market prices and trading volumes of technology-related stocks;
•changes in operating performance and stock market valuations of other technology-related companies generally, or those in our industry, in particular;
•sales of shares of our common stock by us or our shareholders;
•failure of securities analysts to maintain coverage of us, changes in financial estimates by securities analysts who follow our company, or our failure to meet these estimates or the expectations of investors;
•the financial projections we may provide to the public, any changes in those projections or our failure to meet those projections;
•announcements by us or our competitors of new products or services;
•the public’s reaction to our press releases, other public announcements and periodic filings with the SEC and/or OTC Markets;
•rumors and market speculation involving us or other companies in our industry;
•actual or anticipated changes in our operating results or fluctuations in our operating results;
•actual or anticipated developments in our business, our competitors’ businesses or the competitive landscape generally;
10
•litigation involving us and/or our industry, or investigations by regulators into our operations or those of our competitors;
•developments or disputes concerning our intellectual property or other proprietary rights;
•announced or completed acquisitions of businesses or technologies by us or our competitors;
•new laws or regulations or new interpretations of existing laws or regulations applicable to our business;
•changes in accounting standards, policies, guidelines, interpretations or principles;
•any significant change in our management; and
•general economic conditions and slow or negative growth of our markets.
In addition, in the past, following periods of volatility in the overall market and the market price of a particular company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against these companies. This litigation, if instituted against us, could result in substantial costs and a diversion of our management’s attention and resources.
Applicable regulatory requirements, including those contained in and issued under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, may make it difficult for us to retain or attract qualified officers and directors, which could adversely affect the management of our business and our ability to obtain or retain listing of our common stock. We may be unable to attract and retain those qualified officers, directors and members of board committees required to provide for effective management because of the rules and regulations that govern publicly held companies, including, but not limited to, certifications by principal executive officers. The enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act has resulted in the issuance of a series of related rules and regulations and the strengthening of existing rules and regulations by the SEC, as well as the adoption of new and more stringent rules by the stock exchanges. The perceived increased personal risk associated with these changes may deter qualified individuals from accepting roles as directors and executive officers.
Further, some of these changes heighten the requirements for board or committee membership, particularly with respect to an individual’s independence from the corporation and level of experience in finance and accounting matters. While certain board and committee requirements may not apply to us as an OTC listed company, we intend to explore voluntarily complying with some of these requirements. We may have difficulty attracting and retaining directors with the requisite qualifications. If we are unable to attract and retain qualified officers and directors, the management of our business and our ability to obtain or retain listing of our shares of common stock on any stock exchange (assuming we elect to seek and are successful in obtaining such listing) could be adversely affected.
If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or detect fraud, and, consequently, investors could lose confidence in our financial reporting and this may decrease the trading price of our common stock. We must maintain effective internal controls to provide reliable financial reports and detect fraud. We have been assessing our internal controls to identify areas that need improvement. We are in the process of implementing changes to internal controls, but have not yet completed implementing these changes. Failure to implement these changes to our internal controls or any others that it identifies as necessary to maintain an effective system of internal controls could harm our operating results and cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information. Any such loss of confidence would have a negative effect on the trading price of our stock.
A material weakness in internal controls may remain undetected for a longer period, because of our exemption from the auditor attestation requirements under Section 404(b) of Sarbanes-Oxley. Our Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Our management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm, pursuant to rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s attestation with respect thereto. As a result, any material weakness in our internal controls may remain undetected for a longer period.
You will suffer dilution in the net tangible book value of the Offered Shares you purchase in this offering. If you acquire any Offered Shares, you will suffer immediate dilution, due to the lower book value per share of our common stock compared to the purchase price of the Offered Shares in this offering. (See “Dilution”).
Future issuances of debt securities and equity securities could negatively affect the market price of shares of our common stock and, in the case of equity securities, may be dilutive to existing shareholders. In the future, we may issue debt or equity securities or incur other financial obligations, including stock dividends. Upon liquidation, it is possible that holders of our debt securities and other loans and preferred stock would receive a distribution of our available assets before common shareholders. We are not required to offer any such additional debt or equity securities to existing shareholders on a preemptive basis. Therefore, additional common stock issuances, directly or through convertible or exchangeable securities, warrants or options, would dilute the holdings of our existing common shareholders and such issuances, or the perception of such issuances, could reduce the market price of shares of our common stock.

As an issuer of penny stock, the protection provided by the federal securities laws relating to forward-looking statements does not apply to us. Although federal securities laws provide a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by a public company that files reports under the federal securities laws, this safe harbor is not available to issuers of penny stocks. As a result, we will not have the benefit of this safe harbor protection, in the event of any legal action based upon a claim that the material provided by us contained a material misstatement of fact or was misleading in any material respect because of our failure to include any statements necessary to make the statements not misleading. Such an action could hurt our financial condition.
Dilution in net tangible book value per share to purchasers of our common stock in this offering represents the difference between the amount per share paid by purchasers of the Offered Shares in this offering and the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share immediately after completion of this offering. In this offering, dilution is attributable primarily to our relatively low net tangible book value per share.
If you purchase Offered Shares in this offering, your investment will be diluted to the extent of the difference between your purchase price per Offered Share and the net pro forma as adjusted tangible book value per share of our common stock after this offering. Our net tangible book value as of September 30, 2023, was $(97,210) (unaudited), or $(0.00) per share.
Without taking into account issuances of our common stock occurring after September 30, 2023, the tables below illustrate the dilution to purchasers of Offered Shares in this offering, on a pro forma basis, assuming 100%, 75%, 50% and 25% of the Offered Shares are sold.

State Law Exemption and Offerings to “Qualified Purchasers”
The Offered Shares are being offered and sold only to “qualified purchasers” (as defined in Regulation A under the Securities Act). As a Tier 2 offering pursuant to Regulation A under the Securities Act, this offering will be exempt from state “Blue Sky” law review, subject to certain state filing requirements and anti-fraud provisions, to the extent that the Offered Shares offered hereby are offered and sold only to “qualified purchasers”. “Qualified purchasers” include: (a) “accredited investors” under Rule 501(a) of Regulation D and (b) all other investors, so long as their investment in Offered Shares does not represent more than 10% of the greater of their annual income or net worth (for natural persons), or 10% of the greater of annual revenue or net assets at fiscal year-end (for non-natural persons). Accordingly, we reserve the right to reject any investor’s subscription in whole or in part for any reason, including if we determine, in our sole and absolute discretion, that such investor is not a “qualified purchaser” for purposes of Regulation A. We intend to offer and sell the Offered Shares to qualified purchasers in every state of the United States.
Issuance of Offered Shares
Upon settlement, that is, at such time as an investor’s funds have cleared and we have accepted an investor’s subscription agreement, we will either issue such investor’s purchased Offered Shares in book-entry form or issue a certificate or certificates representing such investor’s purchased Offered Shares.

What is a Biometric Card?
Biometric payment cards are a type of identification that analyses and recognizes people based on physical and behavioral characteristics. Fingerprints, retinal scanning, iris scanning, facial patterns, voice recognition, and body movement are among them. Biometric cards also contain smart cards with various security features, such as an optical stripe or barcode, a holographic security image, and an embedded chip. The biometric sensors in these cards provide the user with the most secure payment method, propelling the market forward. Furthermore, the contactless payment method is gradually gaining popularity, improving security and reducing payment processing time. In the financial services industry, biometric technology is gaining traction as a secure and convenient alternative to passwords and PINs. This technology is increasingly being seen as having the potential to make consumers’ lives easier to manage by giving them more options for confirming their identity.
Another significant advantage of biometric payment is that it eliminates the limit or cap on contactless payment transactions. Users' fingerprints are securely authenticated, and they can enjoy the convenience of contactless payment for any amount. The biometric sensor captures fingerprint data securely stored in the card's secure chip. Furthermore, this information is neither stored on the bank's servers nor transmitted over the internet to a personalization bureau. As a result, fingerprint payments' success depends on a rigorous and privacy-friendly enrolment process. Additionally, these cards can be used with a PIN code as a fallback solution when the cardholder's fingerprint is unavailable, such as when withdrawing cash from an ATM.
The Market for Biometric Credit Cards
The global biometric payment cards market size was valued at USD $74.4 million in 2021. It is projected to reach USD $5.878 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 62.50% during the forecast period (2022–2030). The fastest growing market is the Asia-Pacific market, with the largest market being the North American market. [Source: Straits Research].
Market Segments.
Card Type. The market is divided into credit cards and debit cards. The debit cards segment dominates the market, accounting for the majority of revenue during the forecast period. Companies involved in the biometric payment card market are testing debit cards with fingerprint sensors as part of a pilot program. Furthermore, most of these market participants have completed debit card pilots. The credit card segment is expected to experience the highest growth rate during the forecast period. Growth in the segment is anticipated to be driven by people's rising credit card usage. This adoption results from various factors, such as getting cash back, discounts, and using the bank's leverage.
End-User. The market is categorized into retail, transportation, healthcare, hospitality and government. The retail sector dominated the market and generated the highest revenue share. The retail sector is expected to experience the highest growth rate during the forecast period. The retail market has already adopted NFC technology, QR codes, and voice payment methods, creating segment growth opportunities. Additionally, retailers are increasingly adopting digital and contactless payment card methods. The hospitality sector is anticipated to experience substantial growth over the forecast period. Restaurants and hotels are now equipped with biometric digital payment systems that allow customers to pay with fingerprint scanners.
Sales and Marketing
We intend to engage distributors and dealers in both North and South America. However, it is likely that we will not enter into any agreements with any such distributors and dealers, unless and until we obtain additional capital, including in this offering. There is no assurance that we will ever obtain sufficient capital with which to engage such sales and marketing companies.
19
Manufacturing
We design and develop our biometric technology. We have arranged, on an informal basis, for production capacity of approximately 250,000 cards per week, which rate can be substantially increased over a relatively short period of time. We do not intend to enter into a final manufacturing agreement, until such time as we obtain sufficient capital, of which there is no assurance.
Government Regulation
There are currently no governmental regulations, which have any bearing on the raw materials or the manufacturing of our payments card products. United States federal departments such as the Department of Defense have rules and regulations concerning security features of smart cards used as identity or building and cyber-access cards. These regulations stipulate a specific licensing and testing protocol for such cards.
Banking Industry Self-Regulation
The EMV chip used in chip cards are subject to licensing and testing by the banking-controlled body called EMVco. EMVco is an acronym standing for Europay, MasterCard and Visa. These international payments card networks were the founding parties of EMVco. Individual payments networks such as Visa, Mastercard, Europay, American Express, Union Pay Dinners and JCB all have their own individual licensing and testing standards and processes.
Research and Development
Our research and development program is focused on ongoing development of new products. Currently, we have electronic and software engineers working in Tel Aviv, Israel, and Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Competition
The biometric payment cards market is marked by intense competition from companies with greater financial and other resources than we possess, including MasterCard and Visa Inc. Certain potential competitors have announced products similar to those that we have developed. While we believe that our products offer superior specifications, we currently lack adequate capital with which to make our products better known in the marketplace. There is no assurance that we will be able to compete effectively in our markets.
Employees
As of the date of this annual report, we do not have any employees. Our Chief Executive Officer, Chaya Hendrick, provides services pursuant to a contractor agreement. We intend to use direct contract hires in administration and engineering, as is common in the information technology world.
From time to time, we may become involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business. As of the date of this Offering Circular, our company is not a party to any pending litigation matters.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Cautionary Statement
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes, beginning on page F-1 of this Offering Circular.
Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in the following discussion, as a result of a variety of risks and uncertainties, including those described under Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factors. We assume no obligation to update any of the forward-looking statements included herein.
Company Overview
Business. We are a technology company specializing in the manufacture of advanced miniature biometric devices for the new world of digital currency. This includes the storage of digital currency on a payments card that can be used at checkouts equipped with bar code readers, as the card has a very thin display screen that is able to display QR codes which are able to be used to perform a digital payment transaction at a checkout. The QR code display is triggered by the person’s fingerprint using the inbuilt fingerprint sensor in the card.
The biometric fingerprint activated “display” card is also able to be used as an advanced ID card that only displays a person’s color photograph after the card holder touches the card’s fingerprint sensor and a successful instant fingerprint match. The card has built in RFID allowing the card to be used for door opening security as well as a network security capable smartcard chip that can be used for biometric secure access to corporate and/or government computer networks.
In addition, we have developed the world’s smallest multi-function card reader that can be used as an advanced interface between payment and or security cards and laptops and smart phones.
Going Concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the carrying amounts of recorded assets or the carrying amounts and classification of recorded liabilities that may be required should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, our company incurred a net loss of $147,776 (unaudited) for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, and $1,434 for the period from Inception (September 12, 2022) through December 31, 2022, respectively, and has incurred a cumulative loss of $149,210 (unaudited) since Inception (September 12, 2022). These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date of this Offering Circular. We are currently in the development stage and have spent our entire existence in the development of our licensed technology.
There is no guarantee that we will be able to raise enough capital or generate revenues to sustain our operations.
Management believes that our capital requirements will depend on many factors. These factors include the final phase of development and mass production being successful as well as product implementation and distribution.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the carrying amounts of recorded assets or the carrying amounts and classification of recorded liabilities that may be required should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
Critical Accounting Policies. We have prepared our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which requires management to make significant judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. We base these significant judgments and estimates on historical experience and other applicable assumptions we believe to be reasonable based upon information presently available. These estimates may change as new events occur, as additional information is obtained and as our operating environment changes. These changes have historically been minor and have been included in the financial statements as soon as they became known. Actual results could materially differ from our estimates under different assumptions, judgements, or conditions.
21
All of our company’s significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to our financial statements included herein, beginning on page F-1. We have identified the following as our significant accounting policies and estimates, which are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, are the most pervasive and important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations and could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions, judgements or conditions.
Result of Operations
Periods Ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. For the period from Inception (September 12, 2022) through September 30, 2022 (“Interim 2022”), and for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 (“Interim 2023”), our operations generated no revenue.
In order to begin to generate revenues, we must obtain funding, including through this offering, in the approximate amount of $200,000. With such funds, we will be able to manufacture the first of our three products and initiate our planned sales and marketing strategies. Should be fail to obtain such funding, we will not generate any revenues and may be forced to cease operations. (See “Risk Factors”).
Operating Expenses. For Interim 2023, operating expense totaled $144,451 (unaudited), which was comprised of $142 (unaudited) in bank charges, $15,500 (unaudited) in legal and professional fees, $126,667 (unaudited) in officer salary, $1,500 (unaudited) in research and development expense and $642 (unaudited) in stock transfer fees. As our operations expand, it is expected that our operating expenses will increase. However, we are unable to make any prediction, in this regard.
For Interim 2022, operating expenses totaled $1,409 (unaudited), all of which was legal and professional fees.
Other Expense. For Interim 2023, other expense totaled $3,325 (unaudited), which was comprised of interest expense.
Period from Inception (September 12, 2022) through December 31, 2022. For the period from Inception (September 12, 2022) through December 31, 2022, our operations generated no revenue and reported a net loss of $1,434, which was comprises of $1,409 in legal and professional fees and $25 in bank charges.
Plan of Operation
We believe that the proceeds of this offering will satisfy our cash requirements for at least the next twelve months.
With approximately 75% of the proceeds of this offering, we intend to formalize third-party manufacturing capabilities for our current products and, thereafter, to manufacture the first of each of our three products. In conjunction with establishing our manufacturing capabilities, we intend to engage outside sales and marketing organizations with whom our in-house personnel will work to establish sales channels for our first three products.
Because we are a technology company specializing in advanced miniature biometric devices, we expect to encounter significant competition for access to decision makers within potential customer organizations. To overcome this potential competitive challenge, our management has developed specific sales and marketing strategies. A portion of the proceeds of this offering will be allocated to executing these strategies. There is, of course, no assurance that our efforts in this regard will prove to be successful.
Additionally, with a portion of the proceeds of this offering, we intend to continue our research and development activities with the expectation that additional products that embody the Licensed Technology will be finalized and added to our product offering.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have incurred losses since our inception in September 2022, due primarily to the lack of any revenue. We have an accumulated deficit of $149,210 (unaudited) as of September 30, 2023, and anticipate that we will continue to incur additional losses for the foreseeable future. Through September 30, 2023, we have funded our operations through the private sale of our equity securities for total cash proceeds of $50,000.
At September 30, 2023, we had cash of $51,791 (unaudited) and a working capital deficit of $97,210 (unaudited), compared to cash of $4,975 and working capital of $566 at December 31, 2022.
22
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Contractual Obligations
To date, we have not entered into any significant long-term obligations that require us to make monthly cash payments.
Capital Expenditures
We have made no capital expenditures since our inception in September 2022. We do not expect to make capital expenditures during the next twelve months.

Ms. Hendrick collects and evaluates all shareholder communications. All communications addressed to our directors and executive officers will be reviewed by those parties, unless the communication is clearly frivolous.

SMART BIOMETRIC TECHNOLOGY, INC.
Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements
Period Ended September 30, 2023
NOTE 1 - | ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION |
Smart Biometric Technology, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on September 12, 2022.
The Company seeks to become the technological standard in the fusion of biometric identity technology with innovative products, providing next generation security and groundbreaking nano biometric technology for consumers and businesses alike. The Company has not yet begun to manufacture its nano biometric products.
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.
The Company has adopted December 31 as its fiscal year end.
Going Concern
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company sustained a loss of $147,776 (unaudited) for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, and had a retained deficit of $149,210 (unaudited) at September 30, 2023.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date of this filing. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
There are no assurances that the Company will be able to achieve the level of revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to support its working capital requirements. To the extent that funds generated from operations are insufficient, the Company will be required to obtain additional working capital. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on terms acceptable to the Company. If adequate working capital is not available, the Company may not continue its operations.
NOTE 2 - | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position, or cash flow.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts reflected in the balance sheets for cash, prepaids and related party payables approximate the respective fair values due to the short maturities of these items.
As required by the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the FASB ASC, fair value is measured based on a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: (Level 1) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; (Level 2) inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and (Level 3) unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
F-5
Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including, but not limited to, those related to income taxes and contingencies. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments and other short-term investments with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Any amounts of cash in financial institutions which exceed FDIC insured limits expose the Company to cash concentration risk. The Company had no cash equivalents at September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022.
Research and Development
Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. The Company’s research and development expenses consist primarily of expenditures for electronics design and engineering, software design and engineering, component sourcing, component engineering, manufacturing, product trials, compensation and consulting costs.
Revenue Recognition
The Company has not recognized revenues to date. Therefore, the Company has not yet adopted a revenue recognition policy.
Uncertainty in Income Taxes
GAAP requires the recognition and measurement of uncertain income tax positions using a “more-likely-than-not” approach. Management evaluates Company tax positions on an annual basis and has determined that as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, no accrual for uncertain income tax positions is necessary.
Loss Per Share of Common Stock
In accordance with FASB ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share,” the basic loss per share is computed by dividing the loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Basic net loss per share excludes the dilutive effect of stock options or warrants and convertible notes. Diluted net earnings (loss) per common share is determined using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents, consisting of shares that might be issued upon exercise of common stock options and warrants. In periods where losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
NOTE 3 - | PREPAID EXPENSES |
Prepaid expenses were $400 (unaudited) and $3,000 at September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively. Prepaid expenses consist of prepayment for professional services.

In consideration of such license, the Company agreed to issue 200,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock to Licensor (these shares have not been issued; however, the Company’s Board of Directors has authorized the designation of an additional 200,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock) and to pay royalties, as follows: 5% of gross sales of products embodying the licensed patent, with a minimum royalty of $50,000 for the first year and a minimum royalty of $100,000 for each year thereafter. Licensor has agreed to forego the minimum royalties, until the Company begins the manufacture of its products. Under the License Agreement, the Company is responsible for expenses related to the maintenance of the licensed patents. The License Agreement may be terminated by the Company on thirty-days’ notice. In the accompanying unaudited financial statements, the licensed patents have been booked at their historical cost of $-0-. See Note 10. License Agreement and Note 11. Patents.
Contractor Agreement
Effective February 1, 2023, the Company entered into a Contractor Engagement Agreement (the “Contractor Agreement”) with Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Chaya Hendrick (“Contractor”).

In consideration of Contractor’s services, the Company is obligated to pay Contractor an annual fee of $190,000, subject to certain annual adjustments and an annual success fee of $50,000. The success fee shall increase by 25% per annum, calculated at the conclusion of each calendar year and based on the ongoing manufacturing and sales of our products. Contractor has agreed to forego the annual success fees, until the Company begins the manufacture of its products. The base compensation paid under the Contractor Agreement shall be adjusted at the end of each year at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors, with a minimum required increase of 10% per year. Any unpaid compensation shall accrue and bear interest at 7% per annum. The initial term of the Contractor Agreement is five years and may be renewed by the mutual agreement of Contractor and the Company. Contractor may terminate the Contractor Agreement at any time upon written notice. See Note 9. Contractor Agreement.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Board of Directors and Shareholders
Smart Biometric Technology, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Smart Biometric Technology, Inc. as of December 31, 2022, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the period from inception on September 12, 2022 through December 31, 2022, and the related notes to the financial statements. In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Smart Biometric Technology, Inc. as of December 31 31, 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from inception on September 12, 2022 through December 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the entity will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the entity has incurred a net loss and has an accumulated deficit that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the entity’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to Smart Biometric Technology, Inc. in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Smart Biometric Technology, Inc. is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there are no critical audit matters.

SMART BIOMETRIC TECHNOLOGY, INC.
Notes to Financial Statements
Period Ended December 31, 2022
NOTE 1 - | ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION |
Smart Biometric Technology, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on September 12, 2022.
The Company seeks to become the technological standard in the fusion of biometric identity technology with innovative products, providing next generation security and groundbreaking nano biometric technology for consumers and businesses alike. The Company has not yet begun to manufacture its nano biometric products.
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.
The Company has adopted December 31 as its fiscal year end.
Going Concern
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company sustained a loss of $1,434 for the period from Inception (September 12, 2022) through December 31, 2022, and had a retained deficit of $1,434 at December 31, 2022.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date of this filing. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
There are no assurances that the Company will be able to achieve the level of revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to support its working capital requirements. To the extent that funds generated from operations are insufficient, the Company will be required to obtain additional working capital. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on terms acceptable to the Company. If adequate working capital is not available, the Company may not continue its operations.
NOTE 2 - | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position, or cash flow.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts reflected in the balance sheets for cash, prepaids and related party payables approximate the respective fair values due to the short maturities of these items.
As required by the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the FASB ASC, fair value is measured based on a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: (Level 1) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; (Level 2) inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and (Level 3) unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
F-16
Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including, but not limited to, those related to income taxes and contingencies. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments and other short-term investments with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Any amounts of cash in financial institutions which exceed FDIC insured limits expose the Company to cash concentration risk. The Company had no cash equivalents at December 31, 2022.
Research and Development
Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. The Company’s research and development expenses consist primarily of expenditures for electronics design and engineering, software design and engineering, component sourcing, component engineering, manufacturing, product trials, compensation and consulting costs.
Revenue Recognition
The Company has not recognized revenues to date. Therefore, the Company has not yet adopted a revenue recognition policy.
Uncertainty in Income Taxes
GAAP requires the recognition and measurement of uncertain income tax positions using a “more-likely-than-not” approach. Management evaluates Company tax positions on an annual basis and has determined that as of December 31, 2022, no accrual for uncertain income tax positions is necessary.
Loss Per Share of Common Stock
In accordance with FASB ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share,” the basic loss per share is computed by dividing the loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Basic net loss per share excludes the dilutive effect of stock options or warrants and convertible notes. Diluted net earnings (loss) per common share is determined using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents, consisting of shares that might be issued upon exercise of common stock options and warrants. In periods where losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
NOTE 3 - | PREPAID EXPENSES |
Prepaid expenses were $3,000 at December 31, 2022. Prepaid expenses consist of a retainer for professional services.
F-17
NOTE 4 - | RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS |

See Note 8. Subsequent Events – Amendment of Certificate of Designation.
Each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock has a par value of $0.001, and a stated value equal to $5.00 (“Stated Value”). Holders of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to receive dividends or other distributions with the holders of the common stock of the Company on an as converted basis when, as, and if declared by the directors of the Company. Holders of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to convert all or any one (1) share of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock into fifty (50) shares of common stock.
Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary (“liquidation”), holders of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to receive out of the assets, whether capital or surplus, of the Company an amount equal to the Stated Value, pro rata with the holders of the common stock.
The shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to vote on any matter with the holders of common stock voting together as one (1) class and shall have that number of votes (identical in every other respect to the voting rights of the holder of common stock entitled to vote at any regular or special meeting of Stockholders) equal to that number of common shares which is not less than 51% of the vote required to approve any action, which Nevada law provides may or must be approved by vote or consent of the common shares or the holders of other securities entitled to vote, if any.
In September 2022, the Company issued 500,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock to its Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Chaya Hendrick, in consideration of $1,000 in cash and founding services.

Declination of Corporate Opportunity

The Board of Directors of SMME declined the offer made by Ms. Hendrick. Thereafter, the Company and Ms. Hendrick entered into an Issued Patent License and Royalty Agreement with respect to the Technologies. See Note 8. Subsequent Events – License Agreement.

NOTE 6 - | INCOME TAXES |
Deferred income taxes are determined using the liability method for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and income tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Deferred income taxes are measured based on the tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences are included in the Company’s tax return. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on anticipated future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to income tax matters as a component of income tax expense.
At December 31, 2022, deferred tax assets consist of the following:
|
| December 31, 2022 | |
Net operating loss carryforward |
| $ | 1,434 |
Effective tax rate |
|
| 21% |
Expected income tax benefit from NOL carryforward |
|
| 301 |
Valuation allowance |
|
| (301) |
Deferred tax asset, net of valuation allowance |
| $ | — |
At December 31, 2022, the Company had a net operating loss carry-forward in the amount of approximately $1,434 available to offset future taxable income. These amounts may be carried forward indefinitely, subject to the 80% of taxable income limitation rule. The Company established valuation allowances equal to the full amount of the deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of the utilization of the operating losses in future periods. The income tax provision differs from the amount of income tax determined by applying the U.S. federal income tax rate to pretax income from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2022, due to the following:
|
| December 31, 2022 | |
Book loss |
|
| (301) |
Change in valuation allowance |
|
| 301 |
|
|
| — |
The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits can change due to tax examination activities, lapse of applicable statutes of limitations and the recognition and measurement criteria under the guidance related to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. The Company does not believe any significant increases or decreases will occur within the next twelve months.
The Company files income tax returns in the United States (“U.S.”) federal jurisdiction. The Company does not file in any other jurisdiction and remains open for audit for all tax years as the statute of limitations does not begin until the returns are filed. The Company remains subject to U.S. federal examination for tax year ended 2022.
NOTE 7 - | LITIGATION |
From time to time the Company may be a defendant or plaintiff in various legal proceedings arising in the normal course of our business. The Company knows of no material, active, pending or threatened proceeding against it, nor is it involved as a plaintiff or defendant in any material proceeding or pending litigation.

2.The Corporation is authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, 0 of which have been issued.
3.The following resolutions were duly adopted by the board of directors of the Corporation (the "Board of Directors"):
WHEREAS, the certificate of incorporation of the Corporation provides for a class of its authorized stock known as preferred stock, comprised of 5,000,000 shares, $0.001 par value per share, issuable from time to time in one or more series:
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors is authorized to fix the dividend rights, dividend rate, voting rights, conversion rights, rights and terms of redemption and liquidation preferences of any wholly unissued series of preferred stock and the number of shares constituting any series and the designation thereof, of any of them; and
WHEREAS, it is the desire of the Board of Directors, pursuant to its authority as aforesaid, to fix the rights, preferences, restrictions and other matters relating to a series of the preferred stock, which shall consist of up to 500,000 shares of the preferred stock which the Corporation has the authority to issue.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Directors does hereby provide for the issuance of a series of preferred stock for cash or exchange of other securities, rights or property and does hereby fix and determine the rights, preferences, restrictions and other matters relating to such series of preferred stock as follows:
1.Designation, Amount and Par Value: The series of preferred stock shall be designated as its Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock") and the number of shares so designated shall be up to 500,000 (which shall not be subject to increase without the written consent of all of the holders of the Preferred Stock (each, a "Holder" and collectively, the
2
"Holders"). Each share of Preferred Stock shall have a par value of $0.001 per share and a stated value equal to $5.00 (the "Stated Value").
2.Dividends and Distributions.
a.Dividend Rate and Rights. Holder of the Preferred B Stock shall be entitled to receive dividends or other distributions with the holder of the common stock ("Common Stock") of the Corporation on an as converted basis when, as, and if declared by the Directors of the Corporation.
b.Notices of Record Date. In the event of any taking by the Corporation of a record of the holder of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holder thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend which is the same as cash dividends paid in previous quarter) or other distribution, the Corporation shall mail to each holder of Preferred B Stock in the same manner as provided to the holder of the Common Stock, a notice specifying the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend or distribution.
3.Conversion into Common Stock.
a.Right to Convert. Subject to and upon compliance with the provision of this Section 2, the holder of the shares of Preferred B Stock shall be entitled to convert all or any such share of Preferred B Stock into fifty (50) shares of Common Stock at any time.
b.Notice of Conversion. Holders shall effect conversions by providing the Corporation with the form of conversion notice attached hereto as Annex A (a "Notice of Conversion" ). Each Notice of Conversion shall specify the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be converted, the number of shares of Preferred Stock owned prior to the conversion at issue, the number of shares of Preferred Stock owned subsequent to the conversion at issue and the date on which such conversion is to be effected, which date may not be prior to the date the applicable Holder delivers by facsimile such Notice of Conversion to the Corporation (such date, the "Conversion Date"). If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion to the Corporation is deemed delivered hereunder. The calculations and entries set forth in the Notice of Conversion shall control in the absence of manifest or mathematical error. To effect conversions of shares of Preferred Stock, a Holder shall not be required to surrender the certificate(s) representing such shares of Preferred Stock to the Corporation unless all of the shares of Preferred Stock represented thereby are so converted, in which case such Holder shall deliver the certificate representing such shares of Preferred Stock promptly following the Conversion Date at issue. Shares of Preferred Stock converted into Common Stock or redeemed in accordance with the terms hereof shall be canceled and shall not be reissued.
c.Mechanics of Conversion. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of Preferred B Stock and the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall be determined by rounding to the nearest whole share (a half share being treated as a
3
full share for this purpose). Such conversion shall be determined on the basis of the total number of shares of Preferred B Stock the holder is at the time converting into Common Stock and such rounding shall apply to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon aggregate convers ion. Before any holder shall be entitled to convert, he shall surrender the certificate or certificates representing Preferred B Stock to be converted, duly endorsed or accompanied by proper instruments of transfer, at the office of the Corporation or of any transfer agent and shall give written notice to the Corporation at such office that he elects to convert the same. The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the holder shall be entitled. The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable after delivery of such certificates, or such agreement and indemnification in the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, issue and deliver to such holder of Preferred B Stock a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the shares of Preferred B Stock to be converted.
d.Adjustments to Conversion Ratio.
i. Merger or Reorganization. In case of any reorganization, consolidation or merger of the Corporation as a result of which holder of Common Stock become entitled to receive other stock or securities or property, or in case of any conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation to another corporation, the Corporation shall mail to each holder of Preferred B Stock in the same manner as provided to the Common Stock holder a notice thereof, and each such holder shall, upon written notice by the Corporation to the holder of the Preferred B Stock, convert such holder' s shares of Preferred B Stock into shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Section 2 immediately prior to the closing of such reorganization, consolidation or merger of the Corporation, and thereafter receive the number of shares of stock or other securities or property to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation deliverable upon conversion of such Preferred B Stock would have been entitled upon such reorganization, consolidation, merger or conveyance.
ii. Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Corporation at any time subdivides (by any stock split, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Preferred B Stock Conversion Ratio in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced, and if the Corporation at any time combines (by reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Preferred B Stock Conversion Ratio in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased.
iii. No impairment. The Corporation will not, by amendment of its Articles of incorporation, or through any reorganization transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Corporation, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying
4
out of all the provisions of this Section 2 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the Conversion Rights of the holder of the Preferred B Stock against impairment.
iv. Certificate as to Adjustments . Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Ratio of the Preferred B Stock pursuant to this Section 2, the Corporation at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each holder of Preferred B Stock a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and the calculation on which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Corporation shall, upon the written request at any time of any holder of Preferred B Stock, furnish or cause to be famished to such holder a like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustments and readjustments, and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of the Preferred B Stock.
v. Common Stock Reserved. The Corporation shall take such action as is necessary to amend the Articles of Incorporation to authorize such number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect conversion of the Preferred B Stock.
4.Liquidation Preference.
Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary (a "Liquidation"), the Holders shall be entitled to receive out of the assets, whether capital or surplus, of the Corporation an amount equal to the Stated Value, pro rata with the holders of Common Stock.
5.Voting Rights.
The record holder of the Preferred B Stock shall have the right to vote on any matter with holder of common stock voting together as one (1) class. The record holder(s) of the outstanding shares of Preferred B Stock shall have that number of votes (identical in every other respect to the voting rights of the holder of common stock entitled to vote at any regular or special meeting of the shareholder) equal to that number of common shares which is not less than 51% of the vote required to approve any action, which Nevada law provides may or must be approved by vote or consent of the holder of common shares or the holder of other securities entitled to vote, if any.
The record holder of the Preferred B Stock shall be entitled to the same notice of any regular or special meeting of the shareholder as may or shall be given to holder of common shares entitled to vote at such meetings. No corporate actions requiring majority shareholder approval or consent may be submitted to a vote of common shareholder which in any way precludes the Preferred B Stock from exercising its voting or consent rights as though it is or was a common shareholder.
5
For purposes of determining a quorum for any regular or special meeting of the shareholder, the outstanding shares of Preferred B Stock shall be included and shall be deemed as the equivalent of 51% of all shares of Common Stock represented at and entitled to vote at such meetings.
6.Reissuance.
No share or shares of Preferred B Stock acquired by the Corporation by reason of conversion or otherwise shall be reissued as Preferred B Stock, and all such shares thereafter shall be returned to the status of undesignated and unissued shares of Preferred Stock of the Corporation.
7.Notices.
a.Notice Requirement. Within ten (I 0) business days of any adjustment of the Preferred B Stock Conversion Ratio, the Corporation will give written notice thereof to all holder of shares of Preferred B Stock. The Corporation will give written notice to all holder of shares of Preferred B Stock at least ten (10) days prior to the date on which the Corporation closes its books or takes a record (a) with respect to any dividend or distribution upon Common Stock, or (b) with respect to any pro rata subscription offer to holder of Common Stock.
b.Form of Notice. Unless otherwise specified in the Corporation's Articles of incorporation or Bylaws, all notices or communications given hereunder shall be in writing and, if to the Corporation, shall be delivered to it at its principal executive offices, and if to any holder of Preferred B Stock, shall be delivered to it at its address as it appears on the stock books of the Corporation.

Prospective investors may not treat the contents of this Subscription Agreement, the Offering Circular or any of the other materials provided by the Company (collectively, the “Offering Materials”), or any prior or subsequent communications from the Company or any of its officers, employees or agents (including “Testing the Waters” materials), as investment, legal or tax advice.

Upon the Company’s acceptance of this Subscription Agreement, this Subscription Agreement shall constitute a valid and binding agreement of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except (1) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights and (2) as limited by general principles of equity that restrict the availability of equitable remedies.
4.Representations and Warranties of Investor. Investor represents and warrants to the Company that each of the following is true and complete in all material respects as of the date of this Subscription Agreement:
(a)Requisite Power and Authority. Investor has all necessary power and authority under all applicable provisions of law to execute and deliver this Subscription Agreement and to carry out the provisions hereof. Upon due delivery hereof, this Subscription Agreement will be a valid and binding obligation of Investor, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (1) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights and (2) as limited by general principles of equity that restrict the availability of equitable remedies.
(b)Company Offering Circular; Company Information. Investor acknowledges the public availability of the Offering Circular which can be viewed on the SEC Edgar Database, under CIK number ____________, and that Investor has reviewed the Offering Circular. Investor acknowledges that the Offering Circular makes clear the terms and conditions of the Offering and that the risks associated therewith are described. Investor has had an opportunity to discuss the Company’s business, management and financial affairs with directors, officers and management of the Company and has had the opportunity to review the Company’s operations and facilities. Investor has also had the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the Company and its management regarding the terms and conditions of the Offering. Investor acknowledges that, except as set forth herein, no representations or warranties have been made to Investor, or to any advisor or representative of Investor, by the Company with respect to the business or prospects of the Company or its financial condition.
(c)Investment Experience; Investor Suitability. Investor has sufficient experience in financial and business matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Offered Shares, and to make an informed decision relating thereto. Alternatively, Investor has utilized the services of a purchaser representative and, together, they have sufficient experience in financial and business matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Offered Shares, and to make an informed decision relating thereto. Investor has evaluated the risks of an investment in the Offered Shares, including those described in the section of the Offering Circular entitled “Risk Factors”, and has determined that such an investment is suitable for Investor. Investor has adequate financial resources for an investment of this character. Investor is capable of bearing a complete loss of Investor’s investment in the Offered Shares.
3
(d)No Registration. Investor understands that the Offered Shares are not being registered under the Securities Act on the ground that the issuance thereof is exempt under Regulation A promulgated under the Securities Act, and that reliance on such exemption is predicated, in part, on the truth and accuracy of Investor’s representations and warranties, and those of the other purchasers of the Offered Shares in the Offering.
Investor further understands that the Offered Shares are not being registered under the securities laws of any state, on the basis that the issuance thereof is exempt as an offer and sale not involving a registrable public offering in such state.
Investor covenants not to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Offered Shares, unless such Offered Shares have been registered under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities laws or exemptions from such registration requirements are available.
(e)Illiquidity and Continued Economic Risk. Investor acknowledges and agrees that there is a limited public market for the Offered Shares and that there is no guarantee that a market for their resale will continue to exist. Investor must, therefore, bear the economic risk of the investment in the Subject Offered Shares indefinitely and Investor acknowledges that Investor is able to bear the economic risk of losing Investor’s entire investment in the Subject Offered Shares.
(f)Investor Status. Investor represents that either:
(1)Investor is an “accredited investor” within the meaning in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act; or
(2)that the Purchase Price, together with any other amounts previously used to purchase Offered Shares in the Offering, does not exceed ten percent (10%) of the greater of Investor’s annual income or net worth (or, in the case where Investor is a non-natural person, Investor’s revenue or net assets for such Investor’s most recently completed fiscal year end).
Investor represents that, to the extent Investor has any questions with respect to Investor’s satisfying the standards set forth in subparagraphs (1) and (2), Investor has sought professional advice.
(g)Investor Information. Within five (5) days after receipt of a request from the Company, Investor hereby agrees to provide such information with respect to Investor’s status as a Company shareholder and to execute and deliver such documents as may reasonably be necessary to comply with any and all laws and regulations to which the Company is, or may become, subject, including, without limitation, the need to determine the accredited investor status of the Company’s shareholders. Investor further agrees that, in the event Investor transfers any Offered Shares, Investor will require the transferee of any such Offered Shares to agree to provide such information to the Company as a condition of such transfer.
(h)Valuation; Arbitrary Determination of Share Purchase Price by the Company. Investor acknowledges that the Share Purchase Price of the Offered Shares in the Offering was set by the Company on the basis of the Company’s internal valuation and no warranties are made as to value. Investor further acknowledges that future offerings of securities of the Company may be made at lower valuations, with the result that Investor’s investment will bear a lower valuation.
(i)Domicile. Investor maintains Investor’s domicile (and is not a transient or temporary resident) at the address provided herein.
(j)Foreign Investors. If Investor is not a United States person (as defined by Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), Investor hereby represents that Investor is in full compliance with the laws of Investor’s jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the Offered Shares or any use of this Subscription Agreement, including, without limitation, (1) the legal requirements within Investor’s jurisdiction for the purchase of the Subject Offered Shares, (2) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase, (3) any governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained, and (4) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, redemption, sale or transfer of the Subject Offered Shares. Investor’s subscription and payment for and continued beneficial ownership of the Subject Offered Shares will not violate any applicable securities or other laws of Investor’s jurisdiction.
(k)Fiduciary Capacity. If Investor is purchasing the Subject Offered Shares in a fiduciary capacity for another person or entity, including, without limitation, a corporation, partnership, trust or any other juridical entity, Investor has been duly authorized and empowered to execute this Subscription Agreement and all other related documents. Upon request of the Company, Investor will provide true, complete and current copies of all relevant documents creating Investor, authorizing Investor’s investment in the Company and/or evidencing the satisfaction of the foregoing.
5.Indemnity. The representations, warranties and covenants made by Investor herein shall survive the consummation of this Subscription Agreement. Investor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its officers, directors and agents, and each other person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever (including, but not limited to, any and all reasonable attorneys’ fees, including attorneys’ fees on appeal) and expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any false representation or
4
warranty or breach of failure by Investor to comply with any covenant or agreement made by Investor herein or in any other document furnished by Investor to any of the foregoing in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby.

This Subscription Agreement supersedes all prior discussions and agreements between the Company and Investor, if any, with respect to the subject matter hereof and contains the sole and entire agreement between the Company and Investor with respect to the subject matter hereof. The terms and provisions of this Subscription Agreement are intended solely for the benefit of each party hereto and their respective successors and assigns, and it is not the intention of the parties to confer, and no provision hereof shall confer, third-party beneficiary rights upon any other person.

All notices and communications to be given or otherwise made to Investor shall be deemed to be sufficient if sent by e-mail to such address provided by Investor herein. Unless otherwise specified in this Subscription Agreement, Investor shall send all notices or other communications required to be given hereunder to the Company via e-mail at ceo@smartbiometrictechnology.com. Any such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been delivered and received on the first business day following that on which the e-mail has been sent (assuming that there is no error in delivery). As used in this Section 9, the term “business day” shall mean any day other than a day on which banking institutions in the State of Nevada are legally closed for business. This Subscription Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Subscription Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

Neither the Company, nor any of its respective officers, directors and affiliates, and each other person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act (collectively, the “Company Parties”), gives any warranties in relation to these matters.
