CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Statements made in this Form 10-Q (the “Quarterly Report”) that are not historical or current facts are “forward-looking statements” made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These statements often can be identified by the use of terms such as “may”, “will”, “expect”, “believe”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “approximate”, “plan”, “believe”, “could”, “should” or “continue”, or the negative thereof. Bonds.com Group, Inc. (the “Company”) intends that such forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbors for such statements. The Company wishes to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Any forward-looking statements represent management's best judgment as to what may occur in the future. However, forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and important factors beyond the control of the Company that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from historical results of operations and events and those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. These factors include our limited operating experience, lack of a full management team, risks related to our technology, regulatory risks, adverse economic conditions, entry of new and stronger competitors, inadequate capital, unexpected costs and other risks and uncertainties disclosed in this report and our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
Except as may be required by applicable law, we do not undertake or intend to update or revise our forward-looking statements, and we assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements contained in this report as a result of new information or future events or developments. Thus, you should not assume that our silence over time means that actual events are bearing out as expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements. You should carefully review and consider the various disclosures we make in this report and our other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission that attempt to advise interested parties of the risks, uncertainties and other factors that may affect our business.

2.         Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Basis of Presentation –Development Stage Company

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company ceased classifying itself as a Development Stage Company.  As a result of this change in classification, the Company no longer reports its results of operations or cash flows on a cumulative basis; however, this change in classification has had no impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations since inception.

Cumulative Effect of a Change in Accounting Principle

On June 25, 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board Ratified the consensus reached by the Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity Topic of FASB ASC 815-40-15.  This Topic  provides guidance for determining whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to an entity's own stock, which is the first part of the scope exception in the Derivatives and Hedging Topic of FASB ASC 815.  If an embedded feature (for example, the conversion option embedded in a convertible debt instrument) does not meet the scope exception in FASB ASC 815, it would be separated from the host contract (the debt instrument) and be separately accounted for as a derivative by the issuer.  FASB ASC 815-40-15 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years, to be applied to outstanding instruments as of the effective date.

The Company’s Secured Convertible Notes contain terms in which the conversion rate is reduced to match the share price in a future sale of securities for a per share amount less than the conversion rate. Under the consensus reached in ASC 815-40-15, the conversion option is not considered indexed to the Company’s own stock because the conversion rate can be affected by future equity offerings undertaken by the Company at the then-current market price of the related shares. Upon adoption of ASC 815-40-15 on January 1, 2009, the Company decreased additional paid in capital by $235,433, increased accumulated deficit by $775,955, and recorded a derivative financial instrument liability in the amount of $1,161,696.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bonds.com Group, Inc., Bonds.com Holdings, Inc., Bonds.com, Inc., Bonds.com, LLC and Insight Capital Management, LLC.  These entities are collectively referred to as the “Company”.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues generated from securities transactions and the related commissions are recorded on a settlement date basis as the transactions are settled.

Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets

Prepaid expenses and other assets primarily represent amounts paid to vendors reflecting costs applicable to future accounting periods.  Costs are recognized over the useful life of the prepaid expense or asset on a straight-line basis.

Deposits with Clearing Organizations
 
Deposits with Clearing Organizations consist of (a) cash proceeds from commissions and fees related to securities transactions net of all associated costs, and (b) a cash deposit by the Company to satisfy our broker-dealer's regulatory net capital requirements. The balance primarily is comprised of cash and cash equivalents.

Index

Property and Equipment

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

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are initially recorded at cost, which is considered to be fair value at the time of purchase. Amortization is provided for on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets per the following table. The Company’s domain name (www.bonds.com) is presumed to have an indeterminate life and is not subject to amortization. The Company evaluates the recoverability of intangible assets periodically and takes into account events or circumstances that warrant revised estimates of useful lives or that indicate that impairment exists. No impairments of intangible assets have been identified during any of the periods presented.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets may not be recoverable. For purposes of evaluating the recoverability of long-lived assets, the recoverability test is performed using undiscounted net cash flows related to the long-lived assets.  There were no impairment losses recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Income Taxes

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

Marketing and Advertising Costs

Marketing and advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Marketing and advertising expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, were $10,104 and $8,029, respectively.  Marketing and advertising expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were $23,520 and $290,448, respectively.

Operating Leases

The Company leases office space under operating lease agreements with original lease periods up to 63 months.  Certain of the lease agreements contain rent holidays and rent escalation provisions.  Rent holidays and rent escalation provisions are considered in determining straight-line rent expense to be recorded over the lease term.  The lease term begins on the date of initial possession of the lease property for purposes of recognizing lease expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.  Lease renewal periods are considered on a lease-by-lease basis and are generally not included in the initial lease term.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for its share-based awards in accordance with the Compensation-Stock Compensation Topic of FASB ASC 718, associated with the accounting for share-based compensation arrangements with employees and directors. The Compensation-Stock Compensation Topic  require that equity-based compensation cost be measured at the grant date (based upon an estimate of the fair value of the compensation granted) and recorded to expense over the requisite service period, which generally is the vesting period. The Company adopted

Index

FASB ASC 718 using the prospective method on February 1, 2007, the date the initial option was granted. Under this method, share-based compensation is recognized for all new share-based awards and to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled on or after January 1, 2006, the effective date, in accordance with the original provisions of FASB ASC 718 based on the grant date, fair value is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

Reclassification

Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified for comparative purposes.
 
3.         Going Concern
 
Since its inception, the Company’s expenses have significantly exceeded its revenues and the Company has incurred a deficit of $15,406,231.  As of September 30, 2009, the Company has a working capital deficit of $5,598,105, including approximately $3,600,000 of outstanding notes payable due within the next twelve months.  Management commenced operations in December of 2007 utilizing additional capital raised throughout the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.  Operations during the year ended December 31, 2008 and the nine months ended September 30, 2009 have also been funded using proceeds received from the issuance of convertible notes to related and unrelated parties, secured promissory notes to related and unrelated parties and the issuance of common stock.  These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been presented on the basis of the continuation of the Company as a going concern and do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

4.         Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of FASB ASC 820.  FASB ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  This Topic applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements.

In accordance with FASB ASC 820, the Company measures the financial assets in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value.  These levels are:

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

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

Recurring Fair Value Measurement Valuation Techniques

The fair value for certain financial instruments is derived using pricing models and other valuation techniques that involve significant management judgment. The price transparency of financial instruments is a key determinant of the degree of judgment involved in determining the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments. Financial instruments for which actively quoted prices or pricing parameters are available will generally have a higher degree of price transparency than financial instruments that are thinly traded or not quoted. In accordance with FASB ASC 820, the criteria used to determine whether the market for a financial instrument is active or inactive is based on the particular asset or liability. For certificates of deposit, the Company’s definition of actively traded was based on market trading statistics, such as historical interest rates. The Company considered the market for other types of financial instruments, including certain derivative financial instruments, to be inactive as of September 30, 2009. As a result, the valuation of these financial instruments included significant management judgment in determining the relevance and reliability of market information available. The Company considered the inactivity of the market to be evidenced by several factors, including limited trading of the Company’s stock since its inception in December of 2007.

Investment Securities

As of September 30, 2009, investment securities include certificates of deposit, corporate bonds and asset backed securities.  These securities are valued utilizing recent market transactions for identical or similar instruments to corroborate pricing service fair value measurements and are generally categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The majority of the Company’s derivative financial instruments, conversion options embedded in convertible promissory notes, are valued with pricing models commonly used by the financial services industry using inputs generally observable in the financial services industry. The Company considers these models to involve significant judgment on the part of management, including the inputs utilized in its pricing models.  The majority of the Company’s derivative financial instruments are categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company estimates the fair value of derivatives utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model, as the derivatives held by the Company are comprised of options to convert outstanding promissory notes payable into shares of the Company’s stock, at the note holder’s option.  This model is dependent upon several variables such as the expected option term, expected risk-free interest rate over the expected option term, the expected dividend yield rate over the expected option term and the expected volatility of the Company’s stock price over the expected term. The expected term represents the period of time that the options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rates are based on U.S. Treasury securities with similar maturities as the expected terms of the options at the date of issuance.  Expected dividend yield is based on historical trends. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company estimated the volatility of its common stock utilizing its daily average closing price since December 21, 2007, when it began actively trading under the symbol Bonds.com Group, Inc.  Commencing with the quarter ended March 31, 2009, the Company changed its methodology to estimate volatility of its common stock based on an average of published volatilities contained in the most recent audited financial statements of other publicly reporting companies in the similar industry to that of the Company.  As discussed in Note 2, during the quarter ended March 31, 2009, the Company ceased classifying itself as a development stage entity, and among other factors, determined that the historical prices of the Company were no longer the best proxy to estimate the Company’s volatility.

Level 3 Assets and Liabilities

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

Fair values of assets measured on a recurring basis at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 are as follows:

Under the terms of the Convertible Notes, the entire principal amount of the Convertible Notes is due and payable on September 24, 2010 (the “Maturity Date”); interest accrues at a rate of 10% per annum, with unpaid interest payable, in full, upon the earlier of (1) the conversion of the Convertible Notes or (2) on the Maturity Date. Holders of the Convertible Notes have the right to convert principal and interest due and payable into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price equal to the lesser of (1) $0.375 per share, as adjusted for stock splits, and reverse splits, or (2) the price paid for the Company’s common stock in any future sale of the Company’s securities while the Convertible Notes are outstanding, exclusive of certain excluded transactions. The Convertible Notes are secured by the Company, along with its affiliated company, Insight Capital Management, LLC, in generally all of the Company’s assets, pursuant to the terms and conditions of a Security Agreement, dated September 24, 2008, as amended on February 3, 2009.

In connection with the execution of the convertible note and warrant purchase agreements, Moody, Valhalla and the third-party investors were granted warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,627,114 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.46875 per share and expiring on September 24, 2013.

On April 30, 2009, the Company amended and restated its Security Agreement with Bonds.com Holdings, Inc., Bonds.com, Inc., and Insight Capital Management, LLC (the “Amended and Restated Security Agreement”), to, among other things: (1) allow it to add the March 2009 Investor (as defined in Note 13) as a secured party; (2) allow it to add additional purchasers of promissory notes of up to an additional $2,100,000 as secured parties; and (3) clarify that Valhalla Investment Partners  has a first priority security interest in the domain name “bonds.com” with respect to the indebtedness owed by the Company under the Valhalla Note (See Note 11), and the other secured parties have a subordinated security interest in the domain name.

On August 5, 2009, the shares of the Company’s common stock and convertible promissory note formerly held by Christopher Moody and the Christopher D. Moody Revocable Trust were transferred to the Nadel Receiver pursuant to a court order in the matter Securities and Exchange Commission v. Arthur Nadel, Scoop Capital, LLC and Scoop Management, Inc.  According to a Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by the Nadel Receiver on August 13, 2009, the Nadel Receiver (directly and through Valhalla Investment Partners) is the beneficial owner of approximately 14.62% of the Company’s common stock (which includes shares that may be acquired upon the exercise of warrants).

The Company has accounted for the warrants issued in conjunction with the Convertible Notes in accordance with the provisions of APB No. 14, “Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt Issued with Stock Purchase Warrants” (“APB 14”). Accordingly, the warrants were valued at the time of issuance using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: (i) risk free interest rates ranging from 1.55 % to 2.91%, (ii) a contractual life of 5 years, (iii) expected volatility of 50% and (iv) a dividend yield of zero. The relative fair value of the warrants, based on an allocation of the value of the Convertible Notes and the value of the warrants issued in conjunction with the Convertible Notes, was recorded as a debt discount (with a corresponding increase to additional paid-in capital) in the amount of $355,472, and is being amortized to interest expense over the expected term of the Convertible Notes.

The Company has accounted for the conversion feature issued in conjunction with the Convertible Notes in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 815-40-15. Pursuant to the transition provisions of the ASC 815-40-15, the conversion options were valued at the time of issuance using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: (i) risk free interest rates ranging from 0.78 % to 2.03%, (ii) a contractual life of 2 years, (iii) expected volatility of 50% and (iv) a dividend yield of zero. The fair value of the options was recorded as a debt discount in the amount of $719,338, and is being amortized to interest expense over the expected term of the Convertible Notes.  In addition, pursuant to the provisions of FASB ASC 815, the conversion option is classified as a derivative liability was created to offset the debt discount, which is being marked-to-market each reporting period with corresponding changes in the fair value being recorded as unrealized gains or losses on derivative financial instruments in the consolidated statement of operations.

In September of 2008, the Company amended its note payable to the investment advisory firm pursuant to which (i) the original maturity date of June 21, 2008 was extended until December 31, 2009, (ii) repayment of principal and interest can now be accelerated in the event that the Company raises certain amounts of capital, (iii) monthly principal payments of $7,500 are required beginning on April 30, 2009 and each month thereafter until the maturity date, (iv) penalty interest that might have otherwise been due following the original maturity date was waived, and (v) the ability of the Company to repay outstanding principal and accrued interest through the issuance of common stock was eliminated.

On March 31, 2009, the Company entered into a Commercial Term Loan Agreement (the “Term Loan Agreement”) with an unrelated third party investor (the “March 2009 Investor”).  Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Term Loan Agreement, the Company raised gross proceeds of $1,000,000 in exchange for the issuance to such investor of a promissory note in the principal amount of $1,000,000 (the “March 2009 Note”), and a warrant to purchase 1,070,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial exercise price of $0.375 per share, subject to adjustment (the “March 2009 Warrant”).  The Term Loan Agreement contains provisions customary for a financing of this type, including customary representations and warranties by the Company to the investor.  

The March 2009 Note accrues interest at the rate of 15% per annum and has a maturity date of March 31, 2010.  Accrued and unpaid interest is due in a single payment on the maturity date.  The March 2009 Note contains customary events of default, including the right of the holder to accelerate the maturity date and payment of principal and interest in the event of the occurrence of any such event.  The March 2009 Note is guaranteed by the Company’s subsidiary Bonds.com Holdings, Inc pursuant to a Guaranty Agreement. Additionally, Siesta Capital LLC, an entity owned and controlled by John Barry IV, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and one of the Company’s directors, secured the Note by pledging 4,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

The March 2009 Warrant is exercisable at any time through and until March 31, 2014 for 1,070,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial exercise price of $0.375 per share.  However, in the event  of default (failure to pay any principal or interest under the March 2009 Note when due), the exercise price of the March 2009 Warrant will be reset to an amount equal to $0.0001 per share.

The Company has accounted for the warrants issued in conjunction with the Term Loan Agreement in accordance with the provisions of APB No. 14, “Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt Issued with Stock Purchase Warrants” (“APB 14”). Accordingly, the warrants were valued using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: (i) a risk free interest rate of 1.67%, (ii) a contractual life of 5 years, (iii) an expected volatility of 50%, and (iv) a dividend yield of zero. The relative fair value of the warrants, based on an allocation of the value of the Convertible Notes and the value of the warrants issued in conjunction with the Convertible Notes, was recorded as a debt discount (with a corresponding increase to additional paid-in capital) in the amount of $32,934, and is being amortized to interest expense over the expected term of the Convertible Notes.

The policy terms require that the Company pay a deductible of $50,000 per incidence. The Company is not currently subject to any customer complaints or arbitration claims and therefore has not accrued any liability with regards to these matters.

Other Litigation

The Company, along with John Barry III, one of its directors, commenced an action in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, on or about August 15, 2006, against Kestrel Technologies LLC a/k/a Kestrel Technologies, Inc. (“Kestrel”) and Edward L. Bishop III, Kestrel’s President, alleging certain defaults and breaches by Kestrel and Mr. Bishop under: (i) a Master Professional Services Agreement by and between the Company and Kestrel, dated on or about December 27, 2005, as amended, along with the two Statements of Work thereunder (the “Master Agreement”) and (ii) a Revolving Credit Agreement by and between Kestrel and the

Company, dated February 1, 2006 and the promissory notes issued by Kestrel thereunder, in the aggregate amount of $250,000. On March 13, 2008, the Supreme Court of the State of New York granted the Company’s motion for summary judgment with respect to the payment of amounts owed under the Revolving Credit Agreement and the associated promissory notes and awarded John Barry III $250,000 plus interest. Kestrel filed a counterclaim, on or about September 27, 2006, seeking damages in an aggregate amount of $1,000,000 for the Company’s alleged breach of the Master Agreement, as well as a declaration that Kestrel has no further obligations under the Master Agreement. On April 1, 2008, a jury sitting in the Supreme Court of the State of New York found Kestrel liable for anticipatory breach of certain of its contractual obligations to the Company under the Master Agreement and awarded the Company $600,000 plus interest.

On May 14, 2008, the Company entered into a Payment Agreement with Kestrel. Under the terms of the Payment Agreement, Kestrel is required to pay the Company a total of $826,729.71 in monthly payments, which would result in the Company receiving monthly payments of: (i) $300,000 on or before June 1, 2008; (ii) $77,771.11 on or before the first day of each month from July through December 2008; and (iii) 59,653.05 on or before the first day of January 1, 2009. In connection with entering into the Payment Agreement, Kestrel waived any rights it may have to appeal the jury verdict and summary judgment. On June 1, 2008, Kestrel breached its obligations under the Payment Agreement by failing to make the $300,000 payment due on or before June 1, 2008.   As of December 31, 2008, Kestrel has only paid $319,950 to the Company under the Payment Agreement. The Company has sent Kestrel written notices of breach under the Payment Agreement and the Company is currently evaluating its options as a result of Kestrel’s breach of its obligations under the Payment Agreement, including commencing a collection action against Kestrel in satisfaction of the jury verdict and summary judgment awards.

As there is no assurance that Kestrel will have the funds to pay amounts due under the Payment Agreement or that it will make such payments even if it does have such funds, the Company has elected to recognize any gains from the Judgments only when actual cash payments are received from Kestrel. As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company had received $319,950 in aggregate payments from Kestrel, which have been classified as other income in the accompanying statements of operations.

On February 21, 2008, a complaint was filed against the Company in the Superior Court of New Jersey by Z6 Solutions, Inc. (“Z6”) under an alleged breach of contract, asserting a claim for a sum of approximately $50,000 for damages plus interest and all costs including attorney’s fees. The Company believed the claim was without merit and filed a countersuit against Z6 seeking damages against Z6 arising from the Company’s belief that Z6’s breached its obligations to the Company and violated the New Jersey Computer Related Offense Act.  On June 12, 2009, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Z6 in which the Company agreed to pay Z6 $20,000.  The Company has paid the $20,000 settlement as of September 30, 2009.
 
On September 2, 2008, a complaint was filed against the Company and its subsidiaries in the Circuit Court of the 15th Circuit in and for Palm Beach County, Florida by William Bass, under an alleged breach of contract arising from the Company’s termination of Mr. Bass’ Employment Agreement with the Company. Mr. Bass is seeking monetary damages for compensation allegedly due to him and for the future value of forfeited stock options. The Company believes the claim is without merit and plans to defend the claim accordingly.  The Company anticipates that this state-court matter will be stayed pending the outcome of the federal case referred to below.
 
On October 20, 2008, the Company learned that Mr. Bass filed a complaint against the Company with the Florida Equal Employment Opportunity Commission alleging discrimination as a result of mental disability.  This complaint was dismissed and no findings were entered.
 
On April 28, 2009, a complaint was filed against the Company and its subsidiaries in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida by William Bass based on the same breach of contract claims identified above. Additionally, in this suit, Mr. Bass has sued the Company and its subsidiaries for violation of federal and state disability laws.  We understand that Mr. Bass is seeking approximately $1.7 million for compensation allegedly due to him, plus additional monetary damages for emotional distress, the future value of forfeited stock options and other amounts.  The Company believes the claims are without merit and plans to defend them accordingly.

On January 12, 2009, the Company learned that Duncan-Williams, Inc. filed a complaint against the Company and its subsidiaries in the United States District Court for the Western District of Tennessee, Western Division, under an alleged breach of contract arising from the Company’s previous relationship with Duncan-Williams, Inc. Mr. Williams is seeking monetary damages for alleged breach of contract, a declaration of ownership relating to certain intellectual property and an accounting of income earned by the Company. It is the Company’s position that such relationship was in fact terminated by the Company on account of Duncan-William’s breach and bad faith and thus the Company believes the claim is without merit and plans to defend the claim accordingly. On September 18, 2009, the court entered an order staying this action pending arbitration between the parties.  As of the date of this Quarterly Report, Duncan-Williams, Inc. has not filed for arbitration.  On October 23, 2009, the court entered an order administratively closing this case.  Such order does not affect the substantive and/or procedural rights of the parties to proceed before the court at a later date, or any rights the Company or Duncan Williams, Inc. may have, if any, to seek arbitration.

Royalties

On May 5, 2006, the Company entered into a Trademark and Domain Name License agreement with an entity co-owned by the Company’s Chairman and its CEO and President whereby the Company was licensed to use the domain name www.bonds.com and the associated trademark Bonds.com in exchange for license fees as follows: $10,000 per month during year one; $20,000 per month during year two; $30,000 per month thereafter.

On August 28, 2009, the Company entered into a Unit Purchase Agreement with Fund Holdings, LLC.  This Unit Purchase Agreement provides for a financing of up to $5,000,000 through the sale of up to 5,000 Units on or before November 26, 2009.  As of September 30, 2009, the Company has issued 1,000 Units and received gross proceeds of $1,000,000 ($940,000 net of closing costs).

Each Unit consists of: (i) 2,667 shares of the Company’s common stock; (ii) the right, within three years of the applicable closing date upon which such Unit is purchased, to purchase an additional 9,597 (as equitably adjusted for stock splits, combinations and the like) shares of common stock at $0.375 per share (the “Ordinary Purchase Rights”), and (iii) in the event that all 5,000 Units are sold by December 26, 2009, the unvested right to purchase up to 26,893,580 (as equitably adjusted for stock splits, combinations and the like) shares of common stock at $0.375 per share (the “Additional Purchase Rights”).  The Additional Purchase Rights will vest in the future only to the extent and in such amount as is equal to the number of shares of common stock, up to 26,893,580, that the Company actually issues in the future on account of convertible notes, warrants and options in existence as of the initial closing of this transaction.  The Ordinary Purchase Rights are exercisable by the purchaser generally at any time within three years of the date of the closing in which the applicable Unit was purchased. The Additional Purchase Rights are exercisable by the purchaser at any time within three years of the date that the applicable Additional Purchase Rights vest.

In addition, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company granted the purchaser an additional right (the “Special Purchase Rights”), to purchase 1,000,000 (as equitably adjusted for stock splits, combinations and the like) shares of common stock at $0.375 per share.  The purchaser has the right to exercise the Special Purchase Rights at any time during the three year period following the initial closing under the Unit Purchase Agreement.

All purchase rights (warrants) associated with the Unit Purchase Agreement include a provision that protects the purchaser from certain declines in the Company’s stock price (or “down-round” provisions).  Down-round provisions reduce the exercise price of the warrants if a company either issues equity shares for a price that is lower than the exercise price of those instruments or issues new convertible instruments that have a lower exercise price.  Due to the down-round provision and in accordance with the Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity Topic of FASB ASC 815-40-15, all warrants issued are recognized as liabilities at their respective fair values on each reporting date.  The fair values of these securities were estimated using a Black-Scholes valuation model.

16.       Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share considers the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that shared in the earnings of the entity.

The calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share at September 30, 2009 does not include options to acquire 12,330,732 shares or warrants to acquire 18,338,075 shares of common stock, or 8,041,701 shares issuable upon promissory note conversion, as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.  The calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share at December 31, 2008 does not include options to acquire 650,732 shares or warrants to acquire 6,204,411 shares of common stock, or 6,175,033 shares issuable upon promissory note conversion, as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

17.       Net Capital and Reserve Requirements

Bonds.com, Inc., the broker dealer subsidiary of the Company, is subject to the requirements of the securities exchanges of which they are members as well as the Securities and Exchange Commission Uniform Net Capital Rule 15c3-1, which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital.  The Company claims an exemption from Rule 15c3-3 under Paragraph (k)(2)(ii) of the Rule as all customer transactions are cleared through other broker-dealers on a fully disclosed basis.  Bonds.com, Inc.  is also required to maintain a ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital that shall not exceed 15 to 1.

Net capital positions of the Company’s broker dealer subsidiary were as follows at September 30, 2009:

Ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital
 
0.19 to 1
 
Net capital
  $ 1,247,075  
Required net capital
  $ 100,000  

At December 31, 2008, Bonds.com, Inc.  was not in compliance with its minimum net capital or ratio of aggregate indebtedness requirements.   As of December 31, 2008, the Company’s Convertible Notes were secured by the assets of the Company, as well as its subsidiaries, including Bonds.com, Inc., and Bonds.com, Inc. provided a guaranty of the Company’s obligations there under.  Due to the existence of the pledge of assets by Bonds.com, Inc. as collateral for the Convertible Notes and the related guaranty, the notional value of the obligation was included in Bonds.com, Inc.’s computation of aggregate indebtedness, and reflected as a deduction in Bonds.com, Inc.’s computation of net capital, in accordance with Rule 15c3-1, as of December 31, 2008, which resulted in the noncompliance.

This noncompliance may result in regulatory fines and/or disciplinary actions against Bonds.com, Inc. or individuals associated with it.   Management is unable at this time to estimate the nature and extent of potential loss arising from regulatory action against it or its associated persons, if any.   The ultimate outcome could be material to the future financial condition and results of operations of Bonds.com, Inc. which are included in the consolidated results of operations presented herein.

On February 3, 2009, the Company amended the Purchase and Security Agreements underlying its private issuance of Convertible Notes to remove Bonds.com, Inc.’s guaranty and pledge of assets as collateral for the Convertible Notes.  At such time as the Purchase and Security Agreements were amended, Bonds.com, Inc. was no longer in violation of its minimum net capital and ratio of aggregate indebtedness requirements.

18.       Share-Based Compensation

On August 15, 2006, the Company established the 2006 Equity Plan (the “Plan”), which was approved by the Board of Directors on the same date and is effective for 10 years. The Plan provides for a total of 3,133,825 shares to be allocated and reserved for the purposes of offering non-statutory stock options to employees and consultants and incentive stock options to employees. If any option expires, terminates or is terminated or canceled for any reason prior to exercise in full, the shares subject to the unexercised portion shall be available for future options granted under the Plan. Options become exercisable over various vesting periods depending on the nature of the grant. Certain option awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control (as defined in the Plan).

On July 7, 2009, the Company amended its 2006 Equity Plan (the “Amendment”).  The Amendment increased the number of shares of common stock issuable pursuant to the 2006 Equity Plan, from 3,133,825 shares of the Company’s common stock to 13,133,825 shares of the Company’s common stock. 

As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, 773,093 and 2,483,092 shares, respectively, remained reserved for future issuances under the Plan.

On February 1, 2007, the Company issued a non-statutory stock option to an employee, granting the right to acquire up to 1,652,899 shares of stock at an exercise price of $ 0.50 per share.  The shares subject to the option vest one-eighth on each six-month anniversary from the grant date.  On July 14, 2008, the employee was terminated and as a result forfeited the right to acquire 1,269,674 in unvested shares granted under the stock option.

On July 2, 2007, the Company issued a non-statutory stock option to an employee, granting the right to acquire up to 237,507 shares of stock at an exercise price of $0.68 per share.  The shares subject to the option vest one-third on July 2, 2008 and then one-thirty-sixth each month thereafter over the subsequent 24 months.

There were no options granted during the year ended December 31, 2008.

Index


On April 17, 2009, the Company issued non-statutory stock options to various employees, granting the right to acquire up to 1,005,000 shares of stock at an exercise price of $0.33 per share.  The shares subject to the options vest one-third on the one year anniversary of the employees start date and then one-forty-eighth each month thereafter.

On July 7, 2009, the Company issued non-statutory stock options to various executives and a board member, granting the right to acquire up to 9,425,000 shares of stock at an exercise price of $0.375 per share.  The shares subject to the options vested between 20% and 50% on Board approval and 5% to 10% every quarter thereafter.

On July 7, 2009, the Company also issued non-statutory stock options to an outside consultant, granting the right to acquire up to 500,000 shares of stock at an exercise price of $0.375 per share.  All the shares underlying the option fully vested on the date of grant.

On August 28, 2009, and in connection with the initial closing under the Unit Purchase Agreement with Fund Holdings, LLC (see Note 15), the Company granted Edwin L. Knetzger, III, the new Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors, an option to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price equal to $0.375.  All of the shares underlying the option were fully vested on the date of grant.  Also, the Company granted Mark Hollo, an affiliate of Fund Holdings, LLC and special advisor to the Company’s Board of Directors, an option to purchase 250,000 shares of common stock as of the initial closing with an exercise price equal to $0.375. All of the shares underlying the option were fully vested on the date of grant.

The Company estimates the fair value of the options granted utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which is dependent upon several variables such as the expected option term, expected volatility of the Company’s stock price over the expected term, expected risk-free interest rate over the expected option term, expected dividend yield rate over the expected option term, and an estimate of expected forfeiture rates. Expected volatility is based on the average of the expected volatilities from the most recent audited condensed consolidated financial statements available for three public companies that are deemed to be similar in nature to the Company. Expected dividend yield is based on historical trends. The expected term represents the period of time that the options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rates are based on U.S. Treasury securities with similar maturities as the expected terms of the options at the date of grant. The Company believes this valuation methodology is appropriate for estimating the fair value of stock options granted to employees and consultants which are subject to the Compensation-Stock Compensation Topic of FASB ASC 718. These amounts, which are recognized ratably over the respective vesting periods, are estimates and thus may not be reflective of actual future results, nor amounts ultimately realized by recipients of these grants.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following is management’s discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of Bonds.com Group, Inc. (“we”, “our”, “us”, or the “Company”), as well as our liquidity and capital resources. The discussion, including known trends and uncertainties identified by management, should be read in conjunction with the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Overview

Bonds.com Holdings, Inc.

In October 2007, Holdings acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Pedestal Capital Markets, Inc., a FINRA registered broker-dealer for which it paid $50,000 plus the firm’s existing regulatory capital on the closing date of the purchase. After the acquisition, the name of the broker-dealer was changed to Bonds.com, Inc., which is currently our registered broker-dealer subsidiary.

The Company, through Bonds.com Inc., operates an electronic trading platform, called  BondStation,  which is utilized by individual investors, institutional investors, and other broker-dealers primarily for electronic trading of fixed income securities. These securities include municipal bonds, corporate bonds, U.S. Treasury securities, agency bonds, emerging market debt, TLG (Temporary Liquidity Paper), mortgage backed securities and certificates of deposit, among others. Although our trading platform does not currently provide for the trading of equity securities and related products, we plan to add these trading capabilities in the future. Our BondStation electronic trading platform provides investors with the ability to obtain real-time executable bids or offers on thousands of bond offerings sourced directly from broker-dealers and other end users. Unlike other electronic trading platforms that charge subscription fees, access charges, ticket fees, or commissions in order to generate revenue, BondStation allows us to generate revenue through mark-ups or mark-downs on secondary market securities and sales concessions on primary issues. Securities purchase orders placed with us, utilizing the BondStation platform, when executed, are simultaneously matched with our purchases from the offering counterparty. Through this process, we believe that we will be able to avoid, or at least minimize, the market risk, carrying cost, and hedging expense of holding an inventory of securities. Our target customers originally consisted of high net work individuals and mid-tier institutional investors, however given the cost of client acquisition and the current economic climate, the firm has made the strategic decision to focus primarily on the mid-tier institutional investors and portfolio managers.

Until recently, trading of fixed income securities including, without limitation, product searching and price discovery functions, were conducted primarily over the telephone among two or more parties. This process presents several shortcomings primarily due to the lack of a central trading facility for these securities, which can make it difficult to match buyers and sellers in an efficient manner for a particular issue. Based on management’s experience, we believe that in recent years, an increasing number of institutional bond trading participants have utilized e-mail and other electronic means of communication for locating, pricing, and trading fixed income securities. While we believe that this has addressed some of the shortcomings associated with more traditional methods of trading, we also believe that the process is still hindered by a limited supply of securities, limited liquidity, limited price efficiency, significant transaction costs, compliance and regulatory challenges, and difficulty in executing numerous trades in a timely manner.

We initiated the use of BondStation on a commercial basis in December 2007, and generated revenues of approximately $0.9 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. Based on results during our beta testing period and the initial commercialization of the trading platform on a full scale basis, we have been able to integrate BondStation with other trading tools and real-time executable offerings directly to the desktops of investor clients. BondStation also offers straight-through processing, which provides clients with the ability to execute and trade securities electronically with little or no human intervention throughout the trade cycle. This process includes the entry of orders with all brokerage firms participating in the trade. The BondStation electronic trading platform offers state-of-the-art advanced order placement functions and automated and manual order placement capabilities.

Index

BondStation provides a direct channel between institutional investors and the trading desks at our participating broker-dealers, which we expect will reduce sales and marketing costs, and eliminate layers of intermediaries between dealers and end investors. We expect our investor clients, as well as other broker-dealers, to benefit from the direct access to the fixed income marketplace provided by BondStation.

Insight Capital Management

On July 24, 2007, Wealth Management, LLC, was formed as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings.  Wealth Management, LLC’s name was subsequently changed to Insight Capital Management, LLC (or “ICM”). ICM provides us with the ability to provide investment advisory services to clients and to open and maintain asset management accounts for these clients. This wholly-owned subsidiary is intended to manage assets for high net worth individuals and is registered to operate as an investment advisor in the State of Florida. As of August 14, 2009, ICM had no assets under management.

Earnings  Overview

Net loss increased to a loss of $2.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 from a net loss of $1.04 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008, an increased loss of $1.76 million or 169%.  Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 increased to $4.02 million from $3.98 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.  The increase in net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was due principally to share-based compensation expense of $1.2 million which was the direct result of stock options granted to both executives and non-executives of the Company during the third quarter.  Also during the three months ended September 30, 2009, the Company recognized $0.5 million in unrealized losses on derivative financial instruments which was a direct result of the adoption of the Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity Topic of FASB ASC 815-40-15.  Although costs were higher for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the net loss did not change significantly for that period due to higher revenues in 2009 when compared to the same period in 2008.

The following sections describe in detail the changes in key operating factors and other changes and events that have affected our consolidated revenue, gross margin, and operating expenses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Revenue
Total revenue increased by 430% to $1.0 million and 952% to $3.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2008. As we have previously reported, we began conducting active operations during the first quarter of 2008 with the initiation of our BondStation platform in December 2007.  Sales revenues from trading in fixed income securities are generated by spread we receive equal to the difference between the prices at which we sell securities on our BondStation trading platform and the prices we pay for those securities. Given that our revenue is measured as a function of the aggregate value of the securities traded, our per trade revenue varies to a great deal based on the size of the applicable trade.  

Gross Margin
Gross margin as a percentage of sales, or gross margin, increased 15 basis points to 86% and 21 basis points to 93% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively.  The increase in gross margin was driven by the marginal costs per trade which are not variable based on the size of the traded securities.  Based on the Company’s current operating costs to date, our marginal costs of executing and settling a trade over our systems, inclusive of clearing fees and licensing fees range between $13 and $22 per trade.  Our operating costs may change in the future as we increase in size and are able to obtain more favorable terms with our vendors.  

Operating Expenses
Operating expenses increased 141% to $2.7 million and 38% to $5.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2008.  The increases were driven by increases in payroll and related costs of $1.6 million and $2.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, which was a direct result of increases in share-based compensation and commissions paid commensurate with the increases in revenues for the same period.  For the nine month period ending September 30, 2009, these increases were offset by decreases in legal, accounting, and other professional fees of $0.3 million and decreases in marketing and advertising expenses of $0.3 million.  These decreases were driven by the Company incurring fewer costs associated with the continued development of our business as we continued our second full year of operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2009, the Company had total current assets of approximately $1.7 million, comprised of cash and cash equivalents, investments in CDs, corporate bonds and asset backed securities and other financial assets, and prepaid expenses and other assets.  This compares with current assets of approximately $0.6 million, comprised of cash and cash equivalents, investment in two CDs and prepaid expenses and other assets, as of December 31, 2008.  Approximately $1.4 million of current assets as of September 30, 2009 was classified as deposits with clearing organizations, which represents an increase of $1.1 million from December 31, 2008 to September 30, 2009.  The increase was the result of the Company investing $1 million of proceeds received from notes payables and the issuance of common stock (as discussed in the Recent Financing Activities below) into the broker-dealer.  Pursuant to our broker-dealer’s regulatory net capital requirements and contractual commitments, approximately $1 million of that balance is not readily accessible for general working capital or other purposes.

The Company’s current liabilities as of September 30, 2009 totaled approximately $7.3 million, comprised of accounts payable and accrued expenses of approximately $1.8 million, liabilities under derivative financial instruments of $1.9 million, notes payable due to related parties within the next 12 months of approximately $2.0 million, and other notes payable due prior to September 30, 2010 of approximately $1.5 million.  This compares to current liabilities at December 31, 2008 of approximately $2.2 million, comprised of accounts payable and accrued expenses of approximately $1.2 million, notes payable due to related parties within the next 12 months of approximately $0.7 million, including a note due to Valhalla Investment Partners on April 30, 2009 of approximately $0.4 million (which was amended on November 9, 2009 to extend its maturity to October 1, 2010), and other notes payable due prior to December 31, 2009 of approximately $0.3 million.  

As of September 30, 2009, we had negative working capital of approximately $5.6 million.  

The following is a summary of the Company's cash flows provided by (used in) operating, investing, and financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 (in 000’s):

Net cash used in operations for the first nine months of 2009 was $2.6 million, compared with a use of cash of $3.3 million for the first nine months of 2008. The decrease in cash usage in 2009 was due to higher revenues over the same period last year.  The higher revenues were offset by higher expenses in 2009, primarily for payroll and share-based compensation expense.

There were no significant changes in net cash provided by investing activity.  We currently continue to expand and fund our operations primarily through financing activities.

Net cash provided by financing activities were approximately $2.5 million for the nine months of 2009 and 2008.  Cash flows provided by financing activities in 2009 reflected the issuance of approximately $0.9 million in common stock and $0.7 million and $1 million in convertible notes payable and notes payable, respectively.  Cash flows provided by financing activities for the first nine months of 2008 reflected proceeds from related party notes and notes payable of $2.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively, along with $0.2 million from the issuance of common stock warrants.  We have used the proceeds from those notes to fund our on-going operations and make investments in our broker-dealer subsidiary.

Recent Financing Activities

On January 30, 2009, the Company executed secured convertible promissory note and warrant purchase agreements with unrelated third party investors, in the principal amount of $125,000 (collectively the “Convertible Notes”).

Under the terms of the Convertible Notes, the entire principal amount is due and payable on September 24, 2010 (the “Maturity Date”); interest accrues at a rate of 10% per annum, with unpaid interest payable, in full, upon the earlier of (1) the conversion of the Convertible Notes or (2) on the Maturity Date. Holders of the Convertible Notes have the right to convert principal and interest due and payable into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price equal to the lesser of (1) $0.375 per share, as adjusted for stock splits, combinations and the like, or (2) the price paid for our common stock in any future sale of the Company’s securities while the Convertible Notes are outstanding, exclusive of certain excluded transactions.

In connection with the execution of the convertible note and warrant purchase agreements, warrants to purchase an aggregate of 83,334 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.46875 per share were granted to the note holders.  These warrants expire on September 24, 2013.

The Convertible Notes are secured by the Company, along with its affiliated companies, Holdings, and Insight Capital Management, LLC, in generally all of the Company’s assets, pursuant to the terms and conditions of a Security Agreement, dated September 24, 2008 and as amended on February 3, 2009.

On March 31, 2009, we entered into a Commercial Term Loan Agreement with an investor.  Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Term Loan Agreement, we raised gross proceeds of $1,000,000 in exchange for the issuance to such investor of a promissory note in the principal amount of $1,000,000 and a warrant to purchase 1,070,000 shares of our common stock at an initial exercise price of $0.375 per share, subject to adjustment.  The foregoing promissory note accrues interest at the rate of 15% per annum and has a maturity date of March 31, 2010.  Accrued and unpaid interest is due in a single payment on the maturity date.  The promissory note is guaranteed by our subsidiary Bonds.com Holdings, Inc pursuant to a Guaranty Agreement. Additionally, Siesta Capital LLC, an entity owned and controlled by John Barry IV, our Chief Executive Officer and one of our directors, secured the promissory note by pledging 4,500,000 shares of our common stock.  

In connection with certain financial advisory services provided by Keating Investments, LLC (“Keating”), we agreed to pay Keating an advisory fee of $0.5 million. We have previously paid $0.25 million of this fee and issued a promissory note to Keating, dated December 21, 2007, for the remaining $0.25 million (the “Keating Note”). Under the terms of the Keating Note, the entire principal amount and accrued interest at the rate of 10% per annum were due and payable on June 21, 2008. The Company negotiated with Keating to extend the maturity date and amend other provisions of the Keating Note. On September 17, 2008, the Company amended the Keating Note (the “Amended Keating Note”). Pursuant to the Amended Keating Note, among other things, we have agreed to: (i) extend the maturity date until December 31, 2009 from the original maturity date of June 20, 2008, (ii) provide for acceleration of repayment of the principal and interest due in the event that the Company raises certain amounts of capital, (iii) commence on April 30, 2009 monthly payments toward the principal amount due in the amount of $7,500 per month, (iv) waive any penalty interest that might have otherwise been due following the original maturity date, and (v) eliminate the ability of the Company to repay the amount due through the provision of equity in the Company.

On April 30, 2009, the Company entered into a Secured Convertible Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with an “accredited investor” (as such term is defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)).   Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, the Company raised gross proceeds on April 30, 2009 of $400,000.  This Note, for which the entire outstanding principal amount is due and payable on April 30, 2011 (the “Maturity Date”), accrues interest at a rate of 10% per annum.  Accrued but unpaid interest is payable, in full, upon the earlier of (1) the conversion of the Note, or (2) on the Maturity Date.  

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties by the Company and the investor.  Additionally, the investor has been granted certain “piggyback” registration rights to include the shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon conversion of the Note (defined hereafter) and exercise of the Warrants (defined hereafter) in registration statements filed by the Company to register its securities.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement described above, the holder of the Note has the right, at any time prior to the Maturity Date, to convert the principal and interest due and payable into 1,066,667 shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to the lesser of (1) $0.375 per share, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments, or (2) the price paid for the Company’s common stock in any future sale of the Company’s securities, exclusive of certain excluded transactions.  Additionally, the Company issued Warrants to this Investor to purchase an aggregate of 266,672 shares of its common stock at an initial exercise price of $0.46875 per share.  This offer and sale was made in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act in reliance on representations and warranties made by the investor.

The Note is secured by security interests granted by the Company, along with its affiliated companies, Bonds.com Holdings, Inc. and Insight Capital Management, LLC, to the investor in generally all of its assets (except for a subordinated security in the domain name “bonds.com”), pursuant to the terms and conditions of a separate Amended and Restated Security Agreement also dated April 30, 2009.  The Note also provides for certain events of default as are customary in this type of transaction.

On April 30, 2009, the Company amended and restated its Security Agreement with Bonds.com Holdings, Inc., Bonds.com, Inc., and Insight Capital Management, LLC (the “Amended and Restated Security Agreement”), to, among other things: (1) allow it to add the investor as a secured party; (2) allow it to add additional purchasers of promissory notes of up to an additional $2,100,000 as secured parties; and (3) clarify that Valhalla Investment Partners (defined hereafter) has a first priority security interest in the domain name “bonds.com” with respect to the indebtedness owed by the Company under the Valhalla Note (defined hereafter), and the other secured parties have a subordinated security interest in the domain name.

On April 30, 2009, the Company amended and restated its promissory note with Valhalla Investment Partners (the “Valhalla Note”), to, among other things, (1) extend the Maturity Date to October 30, 3009, (2) decrease the amount that may be outstanding at any time under the Valhalla Note to an aggregate of $400,000, all of which remains outstanding as of the date of this filing, and (3) clarify that the holder of the Valhalla Note has a first priority security interest in the domain name “bonds.com”. Additionally, on April 30, 2009 the Company made a cash payment to the holder of the Valhalla Note in the amount of the accumulated but unpaid interest due there under as of April 30, 2009.

On November 13, 2009, the Valhalla Note was amended and restated by the Company and the Nadel Receiver, acting on behalf of Valhalla Investment Partners.  The amended and restated Valhalla Note, which is dated as of November 9, 2009 but was entered into on November 13, 2009, is in the principal amount of $300,000 (reflecting a $100,000 principal payment on November 2, 2009).  Pursuant to the amended and restated Valhalla Note, the principal balance of $300,000 is required to be paid in installments of $100,000 on April 1, 2010, July 1, 2010 and October 1, 2010, along with accrued and unpaid interest at each installment.

On June 8, 2009 and June 30, 2009, the Company executed secured convertible promissory note and warrant purchase agreements with unrelated third party investors, in the aggregate principal amount of $175,000.

On August 28, 2009, the Company entered into a Unit Purchase Agreement with Fund Holdings, LLC.  This Unit Purchase Agreement provides for a financing of up to $5,000,000 through the sale of up to 5,000 Units on or before November 26, 2009.  As of September 30, 2009, the Company has issued 1,000 Units and received gross proceeds of $1,000,000 ($940,000 net of closing costs).

Each Unit consists of: (i) 2,667 shares of the Company’s common stock; (ii) the right, within three years of the applicable closing date upon which such Unit is purchased, to purchase an additional 9,597 (as equitably adjusted for stock splits, combinations and the like) shares of common stock at $0.375 per share (the “Ordinary Purchase Rights”), and (iii) in the event that all 5,000 Units are sold by December 26, 2009, the unvested right to purchase up to 26,893,580 (as equitably adjusted for stock splits, combinations and the like) shares of common stock at $0.375 per share (the “Additional Purchase Rights”).  The Additional Purchase Rights will vest in the future only to the extent and in such amount as is equal to the number of shares of common stock, up to 26,893,580, that the Company actually issues in the future on account of convertible notes, warrants and options in existence as of the initial closing of this transaction.  The Ordinary Purchase Rights are exercisable by the purchaser generally at any time within three years of the date of the closing in which the applicable Unit was purchased. The Additional Purchase Rights are exercisable by the purchaser at any time within three years of the date that the applicable Additional Purchase Rights vest.

In addition, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company granted the purchaser an additional right (the “Special Purchase Rights”), to purchase 1,000,000 (as equitably adjusted for stock splits, combinations and the like) shares of common stock.  The purchaser has the right to exercise the Special Purchase Rights at any time during the three year period following the initial closing under the Unit Purchase Agreement.

All purchase rights (warrants) associated with the Unit Purchase Agreement include a provision that protects the purchaser from certain declines in the Company’s stock price (or “down-round” provisions).  Down-round provisions reduce the exercise price of the warrants if a company either issues equity shares for a price that is lower than the exercise price of those instruments or issues new convertible instruments that have a lower exercise price.  As such, in accordance with the Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity Topic of FASB ASC 815-40-15, all warrants issued are recognized as liabilities at their respective fair values on each reporting date.  The fair values of these securities were estimated using a Black-Scholes valuation model.

Going Concern

Our independent auditors have added an explanatory paragraph to their audit opinion issued in connection with the consolidated financial statements of Bonds.com Group, Inc. for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, with respect to their doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern due to our recurring losses from operations and our accumulated deficit. We have a history of operating losses since our inception in 2005, and have a working capital deficit of approximately $5.6 million and an accumulated deficit of approximately $15.4 million at September 30, 2009, which together raises doubt about the our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern will be determined by our ability to sustain a successful level of operations and to continue to raise capital from debt, equity and other sources. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The SEC has defined a company's critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of the company's financial condition and results of operations, and which require the company to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. We believe that our estimates and assumptions are reasonable under the circumstances; however, actual results may vary from these estimates and assumptions. We have identified in Note 2 - "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" to the Financial Statements contained in this Quarterly Report certain critical accounting policies that affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.  

Contractual Obligations

As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide this information.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Item 4T.  Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in reports filed by the Company under the Exchange Act, such as this annual report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Disclosure controls and procedures are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Any system of disclosure controls and internal controls, even if well conceived, is inherently limited in detecting and preventing all errors and fraud and provides reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives are met. The design of a control system must reflect resource constraints. Inherent limitations include the potential for faulty judgments in decision-making, breakdowns because of simple errors or mistakes, and circumvention of controls by individual acts, collusion of two or more people, or management override of the controls.

Based on the controls evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer (who is both our principal executive officer and principal financial officer) has concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this annual report, and for the period from such date to the date of this report, our disclosure controls were not operating effectively to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified by the SEC, and that material information relating to the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries is made known to management, including the Chief Executive Officer, particularly during the period when our periodic reports are being prepared.

The basis for the determination that our disclosure controls and procedures are not operating effectively at the reasonable assurance level is based on our conclusions that (a) we do not have a full-time, qualified Principal Financial Officer to oversee our disclosure controls and procedures, (b) our disclosure controls and procedures did not adequately or timely alert management to the need to file current reports on Form 8-K for certain events during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 and the period since then through April 1, 2009, and (c) we have material weaknesses in our internal control over financing reporting (as discussed below), which we consider an integral part of our disclosure controls and procedures.  The Company is in the process of searching for a full-time, qualified Principal Financial Officer, who is expected to oversee our disclosure controls and procedures and assist us in remediating any other weaknesses.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2009 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings.

The Company, along with John Barry III, one of its directors, commenced an action in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, on or about August 15, 2006, against Kestrel Technologies LLC a/k/a Kestrel Technologies, Inc. (“Kestrel”) and Edward L. Bishop III, Kestrel’s President, alleging certain defaults and breaches by Kestrel and Mr. Bishop under: (i) a Master Professional Services Agreement by and between the Company and Kestrel, dated on or about December 27, 2005, as amended, along with the two Statements of Work thereunder (the “Master Agreement”) and (ii) a Revolving Credit Agreement by and between Kestrel and the Company, dated February 1, 2006 and the promissory notes issued by Kestrel thereunder, in the aggregate amount of $250,000. On March 13, 2008, the Supreme Court of the State of New York granted the Company’s motion for summary judgment with respect to the payment of amounts owed under the Revolving Credit Agreement and the associated promissory notes and awarded John Barry III $250,000 plus interest. Kestrel filed a counterclaim, on or about September 27, 2006, seeking damages in an aggregate amount of $1,000,000 for the Company’s alleged breach of the Master Agreement, as well as a declaration that Kestrel has no further obligations under the Master Agreement. On April 1, 2008, a jury sitting in the Supreme Court of the State of New York found Kestrel liable for anticipatory breach of certain of its contractual obligations to the Company under the Master Agreement and awarded the Company $600,000 plus interest.

On May 14, 2008, we entered into a Payment Agreement with Kestrel. Under the terms of the Payment Agreement, Kestrel is required to pay us a total of $826,729.71 in monthly payments, which would result in our receiving monthly payments of: (i) $300,000 on or before June 1, 2008; (ii) $77,771.11 on or before the first day of each month from July through December 2008; and (iii) 59,653.05 on or before the first day of January 1, 2009. In connection with entering into the Payment Agreement, Kestrel waived any rights it may have to appeal the jury verdict and summary judgment. On June 1, 2008, Kestrel breached its obligations under the Payment Agreement by failing to make the $300,000 payment due on or before June 1, 2008.   As of the date of this filing, Kestrel has only paid $319,950 to the Company under the Payment Agreement. The Company has sent Kestrel written notices of breach under the Payment Agreement and the Company is currently evaluating its options as a result of Kestrel’s breach of its obligations under the Payment Agreement, including commencing a collection action against Kestrel in satisfaction of the jury verdict and summary judgment awards.

On February 21, 2008, a complaint was filed against the Company in the Superior Court of New Jersey by Z6 Solutions, Inc. (“Z6”) under an alleged breach of contract, asserting a claim for a sum of approximately $50,000 for damages plus interest and all costs including attorney’s fees. The Company believed the claim was without merit and filed a countersuit against Z6 seeking damages against Z6 arising from the Company’s belief that Z6’s breached its obligations to the Company and violated the New Jersey Computer Related Offense Act.  On June 12, 2009, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Z6 in which the Company agreed to pay Z6 $20,000.  The Company has paid the $20,000 settlement as of September 30, 2009.
 
On September 2, 2008, a complaint was filed against the Company and its subsidiaries in the Circuit Court of the 15th Circuit in and for Palm Beach County, Florida by William Bass, under an alleged breach of contract arising from the Company’s termination of Mr. Bass’ Employment Agreement with the Company. Mr. Bass is seeking monetary damages for compensation allegedly due to him and for the future value of forfeited stock options. The Company believes the claim is without merit and plans to defend the claim accordingly.  The Company anticipates that this state-court matter will be stayed pending the outcome of the federal case referred to below.
 
On October 20, 2008, the Company learned that Mr. Bass filed a complaint against the Company with the Florida Equal Employment Opportunity Commission alleging discrimination as a result of mental disability.  This complaint was dismissed and no findings were entered.
 
On April 28, 2009, a complaint was filed against the Company and its subsidiaries in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida by William Bass based on the same breach of contract claims identified above. Additionally, in this suit, Mr. Bass has sued the Company and its subsidiaries for violation of federal and state disability laws.  We understand that Mr. Bass is seeking approximately $1.7 million for compensation allegedly due to him, plus additional monetary damages for emotional distress, the future value of forfeited stock options and other amounts.  The Company believes the claims are without merit and plans to defend them accordingly.

On January 12, 2009, the Company learned that Duncan-Williams, Inc. filed a complaint against the Company and its subsidiaries in the United States District Court for the Western District of Tennessee, Western Division, under an alleged breach of contract arising from the Company’s previous relationship with Duncan-Williams, Inc. Mr. Williams is seeking monetary damages for alleged breach of contract, a declaration of ownership relating to certain intellectual property and an accounting of income earned by the Company.  It is the Company’s position that such relationship was in fact terminated by the Company on account of Duncan-William’s breach and bad faith and thus the Company believes the claim is without merit and plans to defend the claim accordingly. On September 18, 2009, the court entered an order staying this action pending arbitration between the parties.  As of the date of this Quarterly Report, Duncan-Williams, Inc. has not filed for arbitration.  On October 23, 2009, the court entered an order administratively closing this case.  Such order does not affect the substantive and/or procedural rights of the parties to proceed before the court at a later date, or any rights the Company or Duncan Williams, Inc. may have, if any, to seek arbitration.
