BIO-KEY INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2014 (Unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BIO-key International, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary (collectively, the “Company”) and are stated in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year. Pursuant to such rules and regulations, certain financial information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements have been condensed or omitted. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements contain all necessary adjustments, consisting only of those of a recurring nature, and disclosures to present fairly the Company’s financial position and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The balance sheet at December 31, 2013 was derived from the audited financial statements, but does not include all of the disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 (the “Form 10-K”), filed with the SEC on March 31, 2014.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Effective January 1, 2014, the Company prospectively adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-11, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists” (“ASU 2013-11”). ASU 2013-11 is expected to reduce diversity in practice by providing guidance on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits and will better reflect the manner in which an entity would settle at the reporting date any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position when net operating loss carryforwards, similar tax losses, or tax credit carryforwards exist. The adoption of ASU 2013-11 did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. The comprehensive new standard will supersede existing revenue recognition guidance and require revenue to be recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance will also require that certain contract costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract, such as sales commissions, be capitalized as an asset and amortized as revenue is recognized. Adoption of the new rules could affect the timing of both revenue recognition and the incurrence of contract costs for certain transactions. The guidance permits two implementation approaches, one requiring retrospective application of the new standard with restatement of prior years and one requiring prospective application of the new standard with disclosure of results under old standards. The new standard is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and early adoption is not permitted. For the Company, the new standard will be effective January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption and the implementation approach to be used.

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standard if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

2. GOING CONCERN

The Company has incurred significant losses to date and at June 30, 2014, had an accumulated deficit of approximately $56 million. In addition, broad commercial acceptance of the Company’s technology is critical to the Company’s success and ability to generate future revenues. At June 30, 2014, the Company’s total cash and cash equivalents were approximately $518,000, as compared to approximately $2,023,000 at December 31, 2013.

The Company has financed itself in the past through access to the capital markets by issuing secured and convertible debt securities, convertible preferred stock, common stock, and through factoring receivables. The Company currently requires approximately $475,000 per month to conduct operations, a monthly amount that it has been unable to achieve consistently through revenue generation.

If the Company is unable to generate sufficient revenue to meet its goals, it will need to obtain additional third-party financing to (i) conduct the sales, marketing and technical support necessary to execute its plan to substantially grow operations, increase revenue, and serve a significant customer base; and (ii) provide working capital. No assurance can be given that any form of additional financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, that adequate financing will be obtained by the Company, in order to meet its needs, or that such financing would not be dilutive to existing shareholders.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern, and assumes continuity of operations, realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The matters described in the preceding paragraphs raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon the Company’s ability to meet its financing requirements on a continuing basis, and become profitable in its future operations. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.

3. SHARE BASED COMPENSATION

The following table presents share-based compensation expenses included in the Company’s unaudited condensed interim consolidated statements of operations:

	Three Months ended June 30,		Three Months ended June 30,
	2014		2013

Selling, general and administrative	$	18,985	$	20,156
Research, development and engineering		27,460		7,414
	$	46,445	$	27,570

	Six Months ended June 30,		Six Months ended June 30,
	2014		2013

Selling, general and administrative	$	93,826	$	31,277
Research, development and engineering		38,392		8,740
	$	132,218	$	40,017

4. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE COMMON STOCK (“EPS”)

The Company’s basic EPS is calculated using net income (loss) available to common shareholders and the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted EPS includes the effect from potential issuance of common stock, such as stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options and warrants and the assumed conversion of convertible notes and preferred stock.

The reconciliation of the numerators of the basic and diluted EPS calculations was as follows for both of the following three and six month periods ended June 30:

	Three Months ended June 30,						Six Months ended June 30,
	2014			2013			2014			2013

Basic Numerator:
Net (loss) available to common stockholders	$	(1,026,286	)	$	(554,831	)	$	(1,325,500	)	$	(870,409	)

Basic Denominator		116,003,664			87,182,348			115,940,414			84,339,612
Per Share Amount		(0.01	)		(0.01	)		(0.01	)		(0.01	)

The following table sets forth the options and warrants which were excluded from the diluted per share calculation even though the exercise prices were less than the average market price of the common shares because the effect of including these potential shares was antidilutive due to the net losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013:

	Three Months ended June 30,				Six Months ended June 30,
	2014		2013		2014		2013

Stock options		2,938,325		2,157,965		2,069,471		1,407,814
Warrants		1,542,245		-		-		-
Total		4,480,570		2,157,965		2,069,471		1,407,814

Items excluded from the diluted per share calculation because the exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares:

	Three Months ended June 30,				Six Months ended June 30,
	2014		2013		2014		2013

Stock options		410,000		410,000		410,000		510,000
Warrants		250,000		8,250,000		30,369,129		8,250,000
Total		660,000		8,660,000		30,779,129		8,760,000

5. STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT

Derivative Liabilities

In connection with the issuances of equity instruments or debt, the Company may issue options or warrants to purchase common stock. In certain circumstances, these options or warrants may be classified as liabilities, rather than as equity. In addition, the equity instrument or debt may contain embedded derivative instruments, such as conversion options or listing requirements, which in certain circumstances may be required to be bifurcated from the associated host instrument and accounted for separately as a derivative liability instrument. The Company accounts for derivative liability instruments under the provisions of FASB ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.”

Securities Purchase Agreements dated October 25, 2013 and November 8, 2013

The Company issued common stock (the “Shares”) and warrants (the “Warrants”) pursuant to a series of Private Investors Securities Purchase Agreements (the “PI SPA”) on October 25, 2013 and November 8, 2013. Each unit had a purchase price of $0.15 and consisted of one Share and one Warrant. The Warrants are immediately exercisable at an exercise price of $0.25 per share, have a term of three years, and were exercisable on a cashless basis if at any time following the nine month anniversary of the issuance date, there was not an effective registration statement covering the public resale of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants. The Shares and shares of common stock underlying the Warrants were subject to a registration rights agreement. The Company filed a registration statement on November 22, 2013 and such registration was declared effective on December 31, 2013.

Investors in the PI SPA have certain anti-dilution rights which require the Company to issue additional shares of common stock to the investors if within the nine months following November 8, 2013, the Company, sells or issues any common stock or common stock equivalents (other than sales or issuances to directors, officers, employees or independent contractors in the ordinary course of business for compensation purposes and stock splits and stock dividends payable in respect of the Company’s common stock) having a purchase, exercise or conversion price per share of less than $0.15.

Based on an evaluation as discussed in FASB ASC 815-15, “Embedded Derivatives” and FASB ASC 815-40-15, “Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity - Scope and Scope Exceptions,” the Company determined that the anti-dilution features in the common stock issued were not considered indexed to its own stock because neither the occurrence of a sale of equity securities by the issuer at market nor the issuance of another equity contract with a lower strike price is an input to the fair value of a fixed-for-fixed option or forward on equity shares. As such, the anti-dilution features should be bifurcated from the common stock and accounted for as a derivative liability.

The Company did not value the derivative liability. One of the key determinants of the Company’s decision to not value the derivative liability was the high likelihood that a future financing would not occur that would trigger the down round feature. Whether a future equity financing would occur would be determined by the cash needs of the Company and management’s willingness to trigger the down round feature. The Company’s reasons were as follows:

1. The Company’s cash position.

2. The stock price of the Company’s common stock.

3. The unavailability of enough authorized shares to complete a large offering.

Under GAAP, the Company is required to mark-to-market the derivative liability at the end of each reporting period. The Company did not value the derivative liability at June 30, 2014. At such date, the Company determined that it was still highly unlikely that an equity financing would occur prior to August 8, 2014, the expiration date of the down round feature. Such conclusion was based upon the discussion noted above.

Pursuant to a placement agency letter agreement, the Company paid the placement agent cash commissions equal to 8% of the gross proceeds of the offering, reimbursed the placement agent for its reasonable out of pocket expenses, and issued to the placement agent warrants (the “Placement Agent Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 1,971,786 shares of common stock. The Placement Agent Warrants have substantially the same terms as the Warrants issued to the investors, except the Placement Agent Warrants are immediately exercisable on a cashless basis.

The cashless exercise features contained in the Placement Agent Warrants are considered to be derivatives and the Company recorded a warrant liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company recorded the warrant liabilities equal to their estimated fair value in 2013. The Company is required to mark-to-market the warrant liability at the end of each reporting period. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recorded a gain on the change in fair value of the cashless exercise feature of $98,209. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recorded a net loss on the change in fair value of the cashless exercise feature of $100,512. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the fair value of the cashless exercise feature was $307,219 and $206,707, respectively.

Warrants

On August 15, 2013, the Company issued a warrant to purchase 300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to an independent contractor for work associated with the InterDigital Note and InterDigital SPA as additional compensation (the “Compensatory Warrant”). On March 11, 2014, the warrant was exercised resulting in the issuance of 153,659 shares of common stock.

The cashless exercise feature contained in the warrant was considered to be a derivative and the Company recorded a warrant liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company recorded the warrant liability equal to its estimated fair value. The Company was required to mark-to-market the warrant liabilities at the end of each reporting period. As the warrant was exercised, the Company marked-to-market the warrant on the day before the exercise and such value was then transferred to additional paid-in capital. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recorded a loss on the change in fair value of the cashless exercise feature of $6,211. $42,581, the value of the cashless exercise feature as of March 10, 2014, was transferred to additional paid-in capital. The fair value of the cashless exercise feature was $36,370 as of December 31, 2013.

On January 27, 2014, the Company repurchased a warrant for the purchase of 8,000,000 shares of common stock from the Shaar Fund Ltd. at a purchase price of $150,000. The warrant was exercisable at a strike price of $0.30 per share through December 31, 2015.

Issuances and Exercise of Stock Options

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company granted 0 and 3,420,000 stock options, respectively. The options are exercisable for a term of seven years and vest in equal installments over a three-year period commencing on the date of grant. 2,970,000 of the options are exercisable at $0.205 per share and 350,000 of the options are exercisable at $0.17 per share.

During both the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company issued 56,346 shares of common stock for the cashless exercise of stock options.

6. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company has determined that its continuing operations are one discrete segment consisting of biometric products. Geographically, North American sales accounted for approximately 62% and 96% of the Company’s total sales for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and were approximately 29% and 97% of the Company’s total sales for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

7. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and notes payable, are carried at, or approximate, fair value because of their short-term nature.

The fair value of the warrant liabilities were measured using the following assumptions:

Risk-free interest rate		0.60%
Expected term	2.32	–	2.36
Expected dividends		0
Volatility of stock price	114.5%	–	114.7%

The warrant liabilities are considered Level 3 liabilities on the fair value hierarchy as the determination of fair value includes various assumptions about of future activities and the Company’s stock prices and historical volatility as inputs.

Compensatory Warrant
Fair value at January 1, 2014	$	36,370
Loss on derivative		6,211
Transfer to additional paid-in-capital		(42,581	)
Value at June 30, 2014		-

Warrant issued under PI SPA
Fair value at January 1, 2014		206,707
Loss on derivative		100,512
Value at June 30, 2014		307,219

OVERVIEW

We develop and market advanced fingerprint biometric identification and identity verification technologies, cryptographic authentication-transaction security technologies, as well as related identity management and credentialing software solutions. We were pioneers in developing automated, finger identification technology that supplements or compliments other methods of identification and verification, such as personal inspection identification, passwords, tokens, smart cards, ID cards, PKI, credit card, passports, driver’s licenses, OTP or other form of possession or knowledge-based credentialing. Advanced BIO-key® technology has been and is used to improve both the accuracy and speed of competing finger-based biometrics.

In partnerships with OEMs, integrators, and solution providers, we provide biometric software solutions to private and public sector customers. We provide the ability to positively identify and authenticate individuals before granting access to valuable corporate resources, web portals or applications in seconds. Powered by our patented Vector Segment Technology™ or VST™, WEB-key® and Biometric Service Provider, or BSP, development kits are fingerprint biometric solutions that provide interoperability with all major reader manufacturers, enabling application developers and integrators to integrate fingerprint biometrics into their applications.

We have developed what we believe is the most discriminating and effective commercially available finger-based biometric technology. Our primary focus is in marketing and selling this technology into commercial, logical and physical privilege entitlement & access control markets. Our primary market focus includes, among others, mobile payments & credentialing, online payments and credentialing, and healthcare record and payment data security. Our secondary focus includes government markets, primarily law enforcement forensic investigation and Homeland Security.

STRATEGIC OUTLOOK

Historically, our largest market has been access control within highly regulated industries such as healthcare. However, we believe the mass adoption of advanced smart-phone and hand-held wireless devices have caused commercial demand for advanced user authentication to emerge as viable. The introduction of smart-phone capabilities, like mobile payments and credentialing, could effectively require biometric user authentication on mobile devices to reduce risks of identity theft, payment fraud and other forms of fraud in the mobile or cellular based world-wide-web. As more services and payment functionalities, such as mobile wallets and near field communication (NFC), migrate to smart-phones, the value and potential risk associated with such systems should grow and drive demand and adoption of advanced user authentication technologies, including fingerprint biometrics and BIO-key solutions.

In October 2013, Apple Computer Corporation released the Apple iPhone 5s smartphone (“5s”). We believe the 5s to be the first broadly distributed smartphone to incorporate fingerprint biometrics in the phone. Since that time, HTC Corporation has also released a fingerprint biometric enabled smartphone. We believe other smartphone, tablet, laptop and related smart-device manufacturers will additionally make fingerprint-enabled smart devices available for consumer applications. As devices with onboard fingerprint sensors continue to deploy to consumers, we expect that third party application developers will demand the ability to authenticate users of their respective applications (app’s) with the onboard fingerprint biometric. We further believe that authentication will occur on the device itself for potentially low-value, and therefore low-risk, use-transactions and that user authentication for high-value transactions will migrate to the application provider’s authentication server, typically located within their supporting technology infrastructure, or cloud. We have developed our technology to enable, on-device authentication as well as network or cloud-based authentication and believe we may be the only technology vendor capable of providing this flexibility and capability.

We believe there is potential for significant market growth in three key areas:

●

corporate network access control, including corporate campuses, computer networks and applications;

●

consumer mobile credentialing, including mobile payments, credit and payment card programs, data and application access, and commercial loyalty programs; and

●

government services and highly regulated industries, including Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, drivers licenses, campus and school ID, passports/visas.

In the near-term, we expect to grow our business within government services and highly-regulated industries in which we have historically had a strong presence, such as the healthcare industry. We believe that continued heightened security and privacy requirements in these industries will generate increased demand for security solutions, including biometrics.

Over the longer term, we intend to expand our business into the cloud and mobile computing industries. The emergence of cloud computing and mobile computing are primary drivers of commercial and consumer adoption of advanced authentication applications, including biometric and BIO-key authentication capabilities. As the value of assets, services and transactions increases on such networks, we expect that security and user authentication demand should rise proportionately. Our integration partners include major web and network technology providers, who we believe will deliver our cloud-applicable solutions to interested service-providers. These service-providers could include, but are not limited to, financial institutions, web-service providers, consumer payment service providers, credit reporting services, consumer data service providers, healthcare providers and others. Additionally, our integration partners include major technology component providers and OEM manufacturers, who we believe will deliver our device-applicable solutions to interested hardware manufacturers. Such manufacturers could include cellular handset and smartphone manufacturers, tablet manufacturers, laptop and PC manufacturers, among other hardware manufacturers.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

For detailed information on our critical accounting policies and estimates, see our financial statements and notes thereto included in this Report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2013. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from those disclosed in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Effective January 1, 2014, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-11, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists” (“ASU 2013-11”). ASU 2013-11 is expected to reduce diversity in practice by providing guidance on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits and will better reflect the manner in which an entity would settle at the reporting date any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position when net operating loss carryforwards, similar tax losses, or tax credit carryforwards exist. The amendments in this update should be applied prospectively for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of ASU 2013-11 did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

Revenues

For the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, service revenues included approximately $141,000 and $178,000, respectively, of recurring maintenance and support revenue, and approximately $141,000 and $80,000 respectively, of non-recurring custom services revenue. Recurring service revenue decreased 21% from 2013 to 2014 as a few customers have been slow to renew their maintenance agreements. The non-recurring custom services increased 76% for custom services revenue for a customer project that the Company expects to continue through the balance of 2014.

For the three months ended June 30, 2014, license and other revenue (comprised of third party hardware and royalty) decreased 27% from the corresponding period ending June 30, 2013. We realized an approximate $9,000 increase (48%) in our core software license revenue. Third-party hardware sales decreased by approximately $25,000 (26%), as a result of a decrease in new healthcare deployments. Our royalty income was derived from an OEM agreement and resulted in a 57% increase in revenue to $47,504 from $20,584 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 due to overages for the quarter for 2013 which were no longer applicable in 2014.

Costs of goods sold

For the three months ended June 30, 2014, cost of service increased 302%, due to costs associated with custom services. License and other costs for the three months ended June 30, 2014 decreased approximately 28%. The decrease is directly associated with the decrease in third party hardware revenue.

Revenues

For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, service revenues included approximately $292,000 and $352,000, respectively, of recurring maintenance and support revenue, and approximately $238,000 and $183,000, respectively, of non-recurring custom services revenue. Recurring service revenue decreased 17% from 2013 as customers have been slow to renew existing maintenance agreements. The non-recurring custom services increased 30% for custom services revenue for a customer project that the Company expects to continue through the balance of 2014.

For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, license and other revenue (comprised of third party hardware and royalty) increased as a result of several contributing factors. We realized an approximate $606,000 increase (156%) in our core software license revenue primarily as a result of one large order in 2014 that was three times larger than the one large order in 2013. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, we shipped orders from McKesson for their continued deployment of our identification technology in their AccuDose® product line, and for continued expansion of biometric ID deployments with commercial partners ChoicePoint /Nexis Lexis, Educational Biometric Technology, Medflow, Davlong and Identimetrics. Third-party hardware sales decreased by approximately $26,000 (11%), as a result of decreased smaller healthcare deployments. Our royalty income was derived from an OEM agreement, and resulted in a 44% decrease in revenue from $73,756 to $41,168 for the six months ended June 30, 2014. We do not expect this downward trend to continue.

Costs of goods sold

For the six months ended June 30, 2014, cost of service increased approximately $83,000 from the corresponding period in 2013 due to costs associated with non-recurring custom services revenue. License and other costs for the six months ended June 30, 2014 decreased from the corresponding prior year period by approximately $18,000. The decrease is directly associated with the decrease in third party hardware revenue.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash Flows

Net cash used for operations during the six months ended June 30, 2014 was approximately $1,350,000. The cash used in operating activities was primarily attributable to the following items:

●

Positive cash flows related to adjustments to depreciation, amortization, share-based compensation and fair value adjustments of approximately $266,000.

●

Negative cash flows related to an increase in accounts receivable and a decrease accounts payable, net of an increase in accrued expenses of approximately $250,000 due to working capital management.

Net cash used for investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2014 was approximately $6,000 and related to capital expenditures.

Net cash used for financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $150,000 and consisted of the repurchase of a warrant.

Net working capital deficit at June 30, 2014 was approximately $215,000 as compared to net working capital of approximately $985,000 at December 31, 2013.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since our inception, our capital needs have been principally met through proceeds from the sale of equity and debt securities. We expect capital expenditures to be less than $100,000 during the next twelve months. We do not currently maintain a line of credit or term loan with any commercial bank or other financial institution.

The following sets forth our primary sources of capital during the previous two years:

Effective December 31, 2010, Thomas Colatosti, our former Chairman of the Board agreed to exchange all of his outstanding shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, including all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, and the 7% Convertible Promissory Note dated as of December 28, 2009 in the original principal amount of $64,878, for a new non-convertible 7% Secured Promissory Note in the original principal amount of $350,804 (the “Colatosti Note”). In February 2013, the principal balance and accrued interest owing under the Colatosti Note was repaid in full from the proceeds of the financing with InterDigital described below.

As of December 2011, we entered into a 24-month accounts receivable factoring arrangement with a financial institution (the “Factor”). Pursuant to the terms of this arrangement, from time to time, we sell to the Factor certain of our accounts receivable balances on a non-recourse basis for credit approved accounts. The Factor remits 75% of the accounts receivable balance to us (the “Advance Amount”), with the remaining balance, less fees payable by us, once the Factor collects the full accounts receivable balance from the customer. Factoring fees range from 2.75% to 15% of the face value of the invoice factored and are determined by the number of days required for collection of the invoice. In April 2012, the terms were updated from monthly to quarterly, and the 24-month arrangement was extended to August 1, 2014. In July of 2014, we extended the arrangement to July 31, 2016. We expect to continue to use this factoring arrangement periodically to assist with our general working capital requirements due to contractual requirements.

On February 26, 2013, we issued a promissory note in the principal amount of $497,307 (the “InterDigital Note”) to DRNC. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the InterDigital Note was used to repay the Colatosti Note in full and the remaining proceeds were used for general corporate purposes. On November 22, 2013, we repaid in full the $497,307 balance due under the InterDigital Note.

On February 26, 2013, we issued 4,026,935 shares of common stock to DRNC for an aggregate purchase price of $402,693.

On February 26, 2013, we also issued 5,000,000 shares of common stock to a limited number of investors for an aggregate purchase price of $500,000.

On July 23, 2013, we issued units to certain investors consisting of 3,500,006 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase an additional 3,500,006 shares of our common stock at a purchase price $0.30 per unit, for an aggregate purchase price of $1,050,000. The warrants were initially exercisable at $0.40 per share and expire five years after the date of the grant. On December 2, 2013, we agreed to reduce the exercise price of the warrants to $0.25 per share.

On October 25 and November 8, 2013, we issued an aggregate of 24,647,337 units consisting of 24,647,337 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase an additional 24,647,337 shares of common stock at a purchase price $0.15 per unit for an aggregate purchase price of $3,697,100 prior to deduction for placement agent fees and expenses. The warrants are exercisable at $0.25 per share and expire three years after the date of the grant.

Liquidity outlook

At June 30, 2014, our total cash and cash equivalents were approximately $518,000, as compared to approximately $2,023,000 at December 31, 2013.

As discussed above, we have historically financed our operations through access to the capital markets by issuing secured and convertible debt securities, convertible preferred stock, common stock, and recently through factoring receivables. We currently require approximately $475,000 per month to conduct our operations, a monthly amount that we have been unable to consistently achieve through revenue generation. We do not expect to incur any material capital expenditures during the next 12 months. During the first half of 2014, we generated approximately $1,770,000 of revenue, which is below our average monthly requirements. As a result, we do not expect that our available cash resources will be sufficient to fund our operations for the next 12 months.

If we are unable to generate sufficient revenue to fund current operations or meet our goals, we will need to obtain additional third-party financing to (i) conduct the sales, marketing and technical support necessary to execute our plan to substantially grow operations, increase revenue and serve a significant customer base; and (ii) provide working capital. We may, therefore, need to obtain additional financing through the issuance of debt or equity securities.

Due to several factors, including our history of losses and limited revenue, our independent auditors have included an explanatory paragraph in their opinion related to our annual financial statements as to the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our long-term viability and growth will depend upon the successful commercialization of our technologies and our ability to obtain adequate financing. To the extent that we require such additional financing, no assurance can be given that any form of additional financing will be available on terms acceptable to us, that adequate financing will be obtained to meet our needs, or that such financing would not be dilutive to existing stockholders. If available financing is insufficient or unavailable or we fail to continue to generate sufficient revenue, we may be required to further reduce operating expenses, delay the expansion of operations, be unable to pursue merger or acquisition candidates, or continue as a going concern.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2014. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2014, our CEO and CFO concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2014, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
