Zerify, Inc.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Three and Nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021
Note 1 - Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Zerify, Inc. (formerly known as StrikeForce Technologies, Inc.) (the “Company”) is a software development and services company that offers a suite of integrated computer network security products using proprietary technology. The Company’s operations are based in Edison, New Jersey.
On April 26, 2022, the Company applied for the Zerify trademark. ZERIFY™ which is intended to cover the categories of downloadable or recorded computer software for encryption; downloadable or recorded computer software for cyber security assessment and protection; anti-spyware software; downloadable or recorded computer application software for mobile devices, namely, software for protecting people from identity theft; downloadable or recorded computer software for guarding users of computers and remote access devices from identity theft, featuring various software tools, namely, anti-keyboard logger and keyboard stroke encryption.
On June 14, 2022, the Board of Directors and holders of a majority of the voting power approved a resolution to change the Company’s name from StrikeForce Technologies, Inc. to Zerify, Inc. The Board of Directors believes that the name change will better reflect the business plans of the Company reflected in the current cyber security software products and in the name Zerify which emphasizes the Company’s mission to ensure Zero-Trust for the most secure collaborative communications and that every participant is verified prior to entering a video conference.
On August 1, 2022, pursuant to the approval from FINRA, our Common Stock is now quoted on the OTCQB Market under the symbol “ZRFY” (formerly “SFOR”).
Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods have been included. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2022. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2021 and notes thereto contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of the Company as filed with the SEC on April 14, 2022 (and amended for non-financial matters on July 18, 2022).
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary, BlockSafe Technologies, Inc. (“BST”). BST is owned

Going Concern
We have yet to establish any history of profitable operations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company incurred a net loss of $
Management estimates that the current funds on hand will be sufficient to continue operations through the next six months. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to continue to implement our business plan. Currently, management is attempting to increase revenues by selling through a channel of distributors, value added resellers, strategic partners and original equipment manufacturers. While we believe in the viability of its strategy to increase revenues, there can be no assurances to that effect. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to increase our customer base and realize increased revenues. No assurance can be given that any future financing, if needed, will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to us. Even if we are able to obtain additional financing, if needed, it may contain undue restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders, in the case of equity financing.
COVID-19
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, has adversely affected workforces, customers, economies, and financial markets globally. It has also disrupted the normal operations of many businesses. This outbreak could decrease spending, adversely affect demand for the Company’s products, and harm the Company’s business and results of operations.
During the Nine months ended September 30, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company believes the COVID-19 pandemic did impact its operating results. For the Nine months ended September 30, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021, sales to customers decreased by 55% respectively, as compared to the prior year. However, the Company has not observed any impairments of its assets or a significant change in the fair value of its assets due to the COVID-19 pandemic. At this time, it is not possible for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on the Company’s business or results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management bases these estimates and assumptions upon historical experience, existing and known circumstances, and other factors that management believes to be reasonable. In addition, the Company has considered the potential impact of the pandemic, as well as certain macroeconomic factors, including inflation, rising interest rates, and recessionary concerns, on its business and operations.
Significant estimates include those related to accounting for financing obligations, assumptions used in valuing equity instruments issued for services, assumptions used in valuing derivative liabilities, the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, and the accrual of potential liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company follows the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASC 606 creates a five-step model that requires entities to exercise judgment when considering the terms of contracts, which includes (1) identifying the contracts or agreements with a customer, (2) identifying our performance obligations in the contract or agreement, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations, and (5) recognizing revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the services it transfers to its clients.
The Company’s revenue consists of revenue from sales and support of our software products. Revenue primarily consists of sales of software licenses of our ProtectID®, GuardedID®, MobileTrust® and SafeVchat™ products. The Company recognizes subscription revenue over a one-month period based on a typical monthly renewal cycle in accordance with its customer agreement terms. For service contracts, the Company’s performance obligations are satisfied, and the related revenue is recognized, as services are rendered.
The Company offers no discounts, rebates, rights of return, or other allowances to clients which would result in the establishment of reserves against service revenue. Additionally, to date, the Company has not incurred incremental costs in obtaining customer contracts.
Cost of revenue includes direct costs and fees related to the sale of our products.
The following tables present our revenue disaggregated by major product and service lines:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company follows the authoritative guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) for fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A fair value hierarchy was established, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value into three broad levels as follows:
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2—Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly.
Level 3—Unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assumptions.
The Company is required to use observable market data if such data is available without undue cost and effort.
The Company believes the carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, convertible notes, and notes payables approximate fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. The Company evaluates embedded conversion features within its convertible debt to determine whether the embedded conversion features should be bifurcated from the host instrument and accounted for as a derivative. The fair value of the embedded derivatives are determined using the trinomial/binomial valuation method at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. All outstanding derivative financial instruments were extinguished during fiscal year 2021.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company periodically issues stock options, warrants, and shares of common stock as share-based compensation to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing costs. The Company accounts for such grants issued and vesting based on FASB ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) whereby the value of the award is measured on the date of grant and recognized as compensation expense on the straight-line basis over the vesting period. The Company recognizes the fair value of stock-based compensation within its Statements of Operations with classification depending on the nature of the services rendered.
The fair value of the Company’s stock options and warrants are estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model, which uses certain assumptions related to risk-free interest rates, expected volatility, expected life of the stock options or restricted stock, and future dividends. Compensation expense is recorded based upon the value derived from the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model and based on actual experience. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes-Merton Option Pricing model could materially affect compensation expense recorded in future periods.
Loss per Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive potential shares of common stock consist of incremental shares of common stock issuable upon exercise or conversion. Diluted loss per share excludes all potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. The following potentially dilutive shares were excluded from the shares used to calculate diluted earnings per share as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive:

Segments
The Company operates in one segment for the development and distribution of our software products. In accordance with the “Segment Reporting” Topic of the ASC, the Company’s chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer and President, who reviews operating results to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company. Existing guidance, which is based on a management approach to segment reporting, establishes requirements to report selected segment information quarterly and to report annually entity-wide disclosures about products and services, major customers, and the countries in which the entity holds material assets and reports revenue. All material operating units qualify for aggregation under “Segment Reporting” due to their similar customer base, single sales team, marketing department, customer service department, operations department, finance and accounting department to support its operations and similarities in: economic characteristics; nature of products and services; and procurement, manufacturing and distribution processes. Since the Company operates in one segment, all financial information required by “Segment Reporting” can be found in the accompanying financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Credit Losses - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASC 326”). The standard significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets, including accounts and notes receivables. The standard will replace today’s “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model, under which companies will recognize allowances based on expected rather than incurred losses. Entities will apply the standard’s provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. As a small business filer, ASU 2020-06 will be effective January 1, 2024, for the Company and the provisions of this update can be adopted using either the modified retrospective method or a fully retrospective method. Management is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures.
In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, “Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt - Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity – Classified Written Call Options (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force).” The ASU addresses how an issuer should account for modifications or an exchange of freestanding written call options classified as equity that is not within the scope of another Topic. For both public and private companies, the ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Transition is prospective. The Company has elected early adoption of ASU 2021-04.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.

Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Generally, the implicit rate of interest in arrangements is not readily determinable and the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of lease payments. The operating lease ROU asset includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Included in this interim report are “forward-looking” statements, within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (“PSLRA”) as well as historical information. Some of our statements under “Business”, “Properties”, “Legal Proceedings”, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”,” the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” and elsewhere in this report constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure you that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements will prove to be correct. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including matters described in the section titled “Risk Factors.” Forward-looking statements include those that use forward-looking terminology, such as the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “project,” “plan,” “will,” “shall,” “should,” and similar expressions, including when used in the negative. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable and achievable, these statements involve risks and uncertainties and we cannot assure you that actual results will be consistent with these forward-looking statements. We claim the protection afforded by the safe harbor for forward-looking statements provided by the PSLRA.
Such risks include, among others, the following: international, national and local general economic and market conditions: our ability to sustain, manage or forecast our growth; material costs and availability; new product development and introduction; existing government regulations and changes in, or the failure to comply with, government regulations; adverse publicity; competition; the loss of significant customers or suppliers; fluctuations and difficulty in forecasting operating results; changes in business strategy or development plans; business disruptions; the current inflation rate and supply chain disruptions; the implications and consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and on our clients’ business, and the transitioning from a pandemic to an endemic; the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; the ability to protect technology; and other factors referenced in this filing.
Consequently, all the forward-looking statements made in this Form 10-Q are qualified by these cautionary statements and there can be no assurance that the actual results anticipated by management will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequences to or effects on our business operations. We undertake no obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether to reflect events or circumstances after the date initially filed or published, to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events or otherwise.
Unless otherwise noted, references in this Form 10-Q to “Zerify”, “we”, “us”, “our”, “our company”, and the “Company” means Zerify, Inc., a Wyoming corporation.
Background
We are a software development and services company that offers a suite of integrated computer network security products using proprietary technology. Our ongoing strategy is developing and marketing our suite of network security products to the corporate, financial, healthcare, legal, government, technology, insurance, e-commerce and consumer sectors. We plan to continue to grow our business primarily through our expanding sales channel and internally generated sales, rather than by acquisitions. We hold a 49% interest in BlockSafe Technologies, Inc., and a 100% interest in Cybersecurity Risk Solutions, LLC.
On April 26, 2022, the Company applied for the Zerify trademark. ZERIFY™. The trademark registration is intended to cover the categories of downloadable or recorded computer software for encryption; downloadable or recorded computer software for cyber security assessment and protection; anti-spyware software; downloadable or recorded computer application software for mobile devices, namely, software for protecting people from identity theft; downloadable or recorded computer software for guarding users of computers and remote access devices from identity theft, featuring various software tools, namely, anti-keyboard logger and keyboard stroke encryption.
On June 14, 2022, the Board of Directors and holders of a majority of the voting power approved a resolution to change our name from StrikeForce Technologies, Inc. to Zerify, Inc.

Downturns in economic conditions, or other macroeconomic factors more generally, including inflation, could have adverse effects on our results of operations.
While we make our strategic planning decisions based on the assumption that the markets we are targeting will grow in the long term, our business is dependent, in large part on, and directly affected by, business cycles and other factors affecting the economy generally. Our industry depends on general economic conditions and other factors, including consumer spending and preferences, changes in inflation rates, supply chain issues and impediments should they arise for us, as the U.S. and various other major economies are now experiencing, consumer confidence, fuel costs, fuel availability, environmental impact, any consequences arising from the COVID 19 endemic governmental incentives and regulatory requirements, and political volatility, especially in cybersecurity growth markets.
In addition, the outbreak of hostilities between Russia and Ukraine and global reactions thereto have increased U.S. domestic and global energy prices. Oil supply disruptions related to the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and sanctions and other measures taken by the U.S. and its allies, could lead to higher costs for gas, food, and goods in the U.S. and other geographies and exacerbate the inflationary pressures on the worldwide economy, with potentially adverse impacts on our customers and on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our total current assets at September 30, 2022 were $281,000, as compared with $2,121,000 in total current assets at December 31, 2021, which included cash of $2,084,000. Additionally, we had a stockholders’ deficit in the amount of $13,912,000 at September 30, 2022 compared to a stockholders’ deficit of $11,589,000 at December 31, 2021. We have historically incurred recurring losses and have financed our operations through loans, principally from affiliated parties such as our directors, and from the proceeds of debt and equity financing. We financed our operations during the Nine months ended September 30, 2022 primarily from the cash balance from the year ended December 31, 2021 and from proceeds of equity instruments and notes payable issued during fiscal 2022.
On August 12, 2022, our registration statement on Form S-1 was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. This registration statement registered 50,000,000 shares underlying certain common stock purchase warrants. . The common stock purchase warrants were exercised contemporaneously with the execution of exercise agreements. The Company received aggregate gross proceeds of $500,000 from the cash exercise of the common stock purchase warrants by the exercising holders and such holders, as a condition to exercising their common stock purchase warrants, were issued an aggregate of 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock (arising from the exercise of the common stock purchase warrants) and, as a condition to exercising the common stock purchase warrants early, new common stock purchase warrants to purchase an aggregate of 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock.
Securities Purchase Agreement
On October 26, 2022, we finalized a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Walleye Opportunities Master Fund Ltd., a Cayman Islands company (“Walleye”), whereby Walleye purchased a promissory note of the Company, in the aggregate principal amount of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) (the “Note”), which is convertible by Walleye into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) upon an Event of Default (as defined therein) in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth therein. The Form of Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to the Form 8-K filed on November 2, 2022.
On the Closing Date (specifically October 26, 2022), we received $800,000 which represented the principal of $1,000,000 less an original issue discount in the amount of $200,000 paid to Walleye. In addition, we wired $12,500 from the Purchase Price to cover the Walleye’s legal fees in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Walleye received a seven (7) month note, with no interest and, only in the event of a default (after the Maturity Date) of twelve percent (12%) per annum. The Note is qualified in its entirety pursuant to Exhibit 10.2 to the Form 8-K filed on November 2, 2022.
In addition, on the Closing Date, Walleye received a five year Fifty Million (50,000,000) common stock purchase warrants, exercisable at $0.01 per share, pursuant to the terms of contained therein, which shall be earned in full as of the Closing Date of October 26, 2022. This common stock purchase warrant shall have a cashless exercise provision (unless there is a registration statement registering the underlying shares to the common stock purchase warrants). A copy of the form of common stock purchase warrant is attached as Exhibit 4.1 to the Form 8-K filed on November 2, 2022, (See Note 11 in the attached Financial Statements: “Subsequent Events:”).
The above offerings, apart from the offerings registered pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, were made in reliance upon the exemption from registration under Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933 and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, based on the following: (a) the investors confirmed to us that they were “accredited investors,” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933 and had such background, education and experience in financial and business matters as to be able to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the securities; (b) there was no public offering or general solicitation with respect to the offering; (c) the investors were provided with certain disclosure materials and all other information requested with respect to our company; (d) where applicable, the investors acknowledged that all securities being purchased were “restricted securities” for purposes of the Securities Act of 1933, and agreed to transfer such securities only in a transaction registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or exempt from registration under the Securities Act; and (e) where applicable, a legend was placed on the certificates representing each such security stating that it was restricted and could only be transferred if subsequent registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or transferred in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933.
Concentrations
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, sales to two customers comprised 42% and 30% of revenues. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, sales to three customers comprised 39%, 31% and 16% of revenues. At September 30, 2022, two customers comprised 61% and 16% of accounts receivable.
The Company maintains the majority of its cash balances with one financial institution, in the form of demand deposits. At September 30, 2022, the Company had cash deposits that exceeded the federally insured limit of $250,000 per account. The Company believes that no significant concentration of credit risk exists with respect to its cash balances because of its assessment of the creditworthiness and financial viability of the financial institution.
Going Concern
We have yet to establish any history of profitable operations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company incurred a net loss of $6,980,000 and used cash in operating activities of $3,175,000, and at September 30, 2022, the Company had a stockholders’ deficit of $13,912,000. In addition, we are in default on notes payable and convertible notes payable in the aggregate amount of $2,829,000. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued. In addition, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, in its report published on our December 31, 2021 year-end financial statements, and Note 1 in our unaudited financial statements, raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
Management estimates that the current funds on hand will be sufficient to continue operations through the next six months. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to continue to implement our business plan. Currently, management is attempting to increase revenues by selling through a channel of distributors, value added resellers, strategic partners and original equipment manufacturers. While we believe in the viability of its strategy to increase revenues, there can be no assurances to that effect. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to increase our customer base and realize increased revenues. No assurance can be given that any future financing, if needed, will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to us. Even if we are able to obtain additional financing, if needed, it may contain undue restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders, in the case of equity financing.

Cybersecurity Risk Solutions, LLC
On April 15, 2021, we formally finalized c a Member Interest Purchase Agreement in which we acquired all the Member Interests of Cybersecurity Risk Solutions, LLC, a New Jersey limited liability company.

At the date of acquisition, Cybersecurity Risk Solutions, LLC had nominal assets and liabilities, no revenues and limited operating history. Furthermore, we also determined that the acquisition did not meet the requirement of a significant acquisition pursuant to the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Cybersecurity Risk Solutions, LLC is a cybersecurity firm offering cyber, privacy & data protection services including a personal cyber risk assessment, the industry’s first cyber health score, report and custom action plan, as well as ongoing vulnerability scanning, hack monitoring and dark web intelligence monitoring.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, result of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.
Critical Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management bases these estimates and assumptions upon historical experience, existing and known circumstances, and other factors that management believes to be reasonable. In addition, the Company has considered the potential impact of the pandemic, as well as certain macroeconomic factors, including inflation, rising interest rates, and recessionary concerns, on its business and operations.
Significant estimates include those related to accounting for financing obligations, assumptions used in valuing stock instruments issued for services, assumptions used in valuing derivative liabilities, the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, and the accrual of potential liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company follows the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASC 606 creates a five-step model that requires entities to exercise judgment when considering the terms of contracts, which includes (1) identifying the contracts or agreements with a customer, (2) identifying our performance obligations in the contract or agreement, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations, and (5) recognizing revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the services it transfers to its clients.
The Company’s revenue consists of revenue from sales and support of our software products. Revenue primarily consists of sales of software licenses and subscriptions of our ProtectID®, GuardedID®, MobileTrust®, Zerify Defender™ and Zerify Meet™ products. We recognize revenue from these arrangements ratably over the contractual service period. For service contracts, the Company’s performance obligations are satisfied, and the related revenue is recognized, as services are rendered.
The Company offers no discounts, rebates, rights of return, or other allowances to clients which would result in the establishment of reserves against service revenue. Additionally, to date, the Company has not incurred incremental costs in obtaining a client contract.
Cost of revenue includes direct costs and fees related to the sale of our products.

Share-Based Payments
The Company periodically issues stock options, warrants, and shares of common stock as share-based compensation to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing costs. The Company accounts for such grants issued and vesting based on FASB ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) whereby the value of the award is measured on the date of grant and recognized as compensation expense on the straight-line basis over the vesting period. The Company recognizes the fair value of stock-based compensation within its Statements of Operations with classification depending on the nature of the services rendered.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
Regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) require public companies to maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” which are defined as controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer 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 Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
We carried out an evaluation, with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and our Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of the effectiveness our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2022. Based upon that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to the following material weaknesses:
1. We do not have written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures. Written documentation of key internal controls over financial reporting is a requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act which is applicable to us as of and for the interim period ended September 30, 2022. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have written documentation of our internal controls and procedures on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.
2. Our board of directors has no independent director or member with financial expertise which causes ineffective oversight of our external financial reporting and internal control over financial reporting.
3. We do not have sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions, which is a basic internal control. Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have segregation of duties on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.
8 |
Table of Contents |
To address these material weaknesses, management performed additional analyses and other procedures to ensure that the financial statements included herein fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
Remediation of Material Weaknesses
We intend to remediate the material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures identified above by adding an independent director or member with financial expertise or hiring a full-time CFO with SEC reporting experience in the future when working capital permits and by working with our independent registered public accounting firm to refine our internal procedures.
(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
