Item 1. Description of Business.
General
SmartMetric was incorporated pursuant to the laws of the State of Nevada on December 18, 2002.
SmartMetric’s Chief Executive Officer, Colin Hendrick, has created the SmartMetric “Biometric Card,” a credit card-sized device which utilizes a finger print sensor to authenticate a person’s identity. The embedded sensor takes the image of the person’s fingerprint and matches it with a fingerprint stored on the card. Mr. Hendrick has applied for a United States and International patent with regard to the Biometric card and the technology contained therein. Both patents are pending. Mr. Hendrick transferred the patent pending to Applied Cryptography, Inc., a Nevada corporation, owned by Mr. Hendrick in June 2004. On August 1, 2004, Applied Cryptography, Inc. entered into a license agreement with SmartMetric pursuant to which SmartMetric has the right to use, manufacture and sell products utilizing the patented technology in perpetuity.
As of June 30, 2004, SmartMetric had total stockholders' equity of $99,564, and cash of $64,142. Management of SmartMetric believes that in the event SmartMetric raises less than the maximum offering in its planned public offering (the Public Offering”), SmartMetric will have to generate additional resources to enable it to continue with research and development and to commence operations. SmartMetric would then have to obtain additional working capital from other sources, including creditors and investors.
The SmartMetric Biometric Card
SmartMetric has designed a biometric card utilizing patented technology licensed to the company. A portion of the proceeds from the Public Offering will be applied to building a prototype of this biometric card.
SmartMetric believes that its biometric card will have several functions:
|
· |
The fingerprint sensor will facilitate instant authorization verification; |
|
· |
In card biometric measurement storage will safeguard personal information; |
|
· |
In card biometric storage will permit access, identity and transaction control verification; |
|
· |
Instant identity verification will be secure since such information is contained in the card and not in centralized database |
The Smart card has been designed to contain two on-card processors and 1 gigabyte of memory. SmartMetric believes this will enable the card to store the full image of a fingerprint and a database capable of storing information such as medical records, financial or banking records or human resource card. SmartMetric believes its Smart Card may be used as a credit card, building access card or computer access card.
The SmartMetric Smart Card, because it contains information unique to the individual user, will be useless in the hands of others. Unlike a picture-based identification system, the SmartMetric biometric card has been designed to operate exclusively with the registered user. And unlike biometric security systems where the biometric information is stored at a central computer facility, the Company believes that confirmation of identify with the SmartMetric system may not be interrupted during the verification process or while it is stored at the remote location since the biometric information is embedded in the card, itself, in a memory chip protected by encryption. The fingerprint sensor built into the card has been designed to activate the card. Without a match with the encrypted fingerprint already stored on the card, the Smart card will not operate.
SmartMetric believes its Smart Card may be used for a variety of security applications such as airport employed access and identity, building access and identity, computer network access, drivers licenses, passports and check cashing identity verification.
Fingerprint Sensor
The fingerprint sensor designed by Colin Hendrick, CEO of SmartMetric, and licensed to SmartMetric is known as the “Metric 60” fingerprint sensor. The Metric 60 allows for both wet and dry fingerprints to be recognized or authenticated. It is also pressure sensitive.
The SmartMetric biometric card has been designed to utilize a patented rechargeable, lithium polymer battery. Because this battery is available in a variety of shapes and sizes, SmartMetric can design its cards in similar variety of shapes. By utilizing this lithium polymer battery, the Smart Card can be as thin as .45mm in width.
The SmartMetric card has passed the ISO 7816 Flex requirements and will not break or crack when bent or flexed. The prototype card has been designed to meet UL requirements for crush test, drop test and nail test. It has been designed to operate in a wide range of temperatures.
The Smart Card has been designed to offer the option of a built-in radio frequency fingerprint transmitter for contactless entry and identity verification.
Marketing Agreement
On October 30, 2003, SmartMetric entered into an agreement with Information Spectrum, Inc., a company located in Annandale, Virginia. Information Spectrum, Inc. shall be referred to as ISI. Pursuant to this agreement, ISI shall seek to market SmartMetric’s Smart Card technology by actively seeking customers interested in purchasing, credential cards which incorporate SmartMetric’s patented Smart Card technology. Prior to ISI offering SmartMetric products by submitting a formal proposal, ISI and SmartMetric shall enter into a “Teaming Agreement” which will define each party’s rights and obligations concerning that particular sales opportunity. Every proposal will require its own Teaming Agreement.
Pursuant to this Agreement, ISI is the exclusive reseller of SmartMetric products to agencies of the United States government and the Government of Canada. In addition, ISI has the right of first refusal for other marketing, sales or re-sales opportunities for customers other than the United States or Canadian governments.
The terms of this agreement is two years and may be extended upon mutual agreement of the parties.
The Security Technology Industry
Biometrics
Biometric technologies identify users by electronically capturing a specific biological or behavioral characteristic of that individual, such as a fingerprint or voice or facial feature, and creating a unique digital identifier from that characteristic. Because this process relies on largely unalterable human characteristics, positive identification can be achieved independent of any information possessed by the individual seeking authorization.
The process of identity authentication typically requires that a person present for comparison one or more of the following factors:
|
· |
Something known such as a password, PIN or mother’s maiden name; |
|
· |
Something carried such as a token, card, or key; or |
|
· |
Something physical such as fingerprint, voice pattern, signature motion, facial shape or other biological or behavioral characteristic. |
Comparison of biological and behavioral characteristics has historically been the most reliable and accurate of the three factors, but has also been the most difficult and costly to implement into a single product that can automatically verify the identity of a user accessing a computer network or the Internet. However, recent advances in biometric collection technologies (both biometric hardware products and their associated processing software) have increased the speed and accuracy and reduced the cost of implementing biometrics in commercial environments. Management believes that individuals, Web site operators, government organizations, and businesses will increasingly use this method of identity authentication.
Biometrics refers to the automatic identification of a person based on his/her physiological or behavioral characteristics. This method of identification is preferred over traditional methods involving passwords and personal identification numbers (“PINs”) for various reasons: (i) the person to be identified is required to be physically present at the point of identification to be identification; (ii) identification based on biometric techniques obviates the need to remember a password or carry a token. By replacing PINs, biometric techniques can potentially prevent unauthorized access to or fraudulent use of cellular phones, smart cards, desktop PCs, workstations and computer networks. It can be used during transactions conducted via telephone and Internet (e-commerce and e-banking). In automobiles, biometrics could replace keys-less entry devices.
PINs and passwords may be forgotten, and token-based methods of identification, e.g., passports and driver’s licenses, may be forged, stolen or lost. Various types of biometric systems are being used for real-time identification, with the most popular based on face recognition and fingerprint matching. Other biometric systems utilize iris and retinal scanning, speech, facial thermograms and hand geometry.
A biometric system is essentially a pattern recognition system, which makes a personal identification by determining the authenticity of a specific physiological or behavioral characteristic possessed by the user. An important issue in designing a practical system is to determine how an individual is identified.
There are two different ways to resolve a person’s identity: verification and identification. Verification (Am I whom I claim I am?) involves confirming or denying a person’s claimed identity. In identification, one has to establish a person’s identity (Who am I?).
The SmartMetric Smart Card
The SmartMetric biometric smart card, an intelligent cryptographic platform, is a credit-card sized plastic card embedded with an integrated circuit chip and biometric fingerprint sensor. It has been designed to provide not only memory capacity, but also computational capability along with secure non-refutable identification of the user. We believe that the self-containment of SmartMetric’s Smart Card will make it resistant to attack, as it will not need to depend upon potentially vulnerable external resources. Because of this characteristic, we expect that the SmartMetric Smart Card may be used in different applications which require strong security protection and authentication.
The physical structure of a smart card is specified by the International Standards Organization (“ISO”) 7810, 7816/1 and 7816/2. Generally, it is made up of three elements. The plastic card is the most basic one and has the dimensions of 85.60mm x 53.98 x 0.80mm. A printed circuit and an integrated circuit chip are embedded on the card.
In the SmartMetric Smart card the printed circuit conforms to ISO standard 7816/3 which provides five connection points for power and data. It will be hermetically fixed in the recess provided for the card and will be burned onto the circuit chip, filled with a conductive material and sealed with contracts protruding. The printed circuit will protect the circuit chip from mechanical stress and static electricity. Communication with the chip will be accomplished through contacts that overlay the printed circuit. The integrated circuit chip defines the capability of a smart chip. Typically, an integrated circuit chip consists of a microprocessor, read only memory (ROM), non-static random access memory and electrically erasable programmable read only memory which will retain its state when the power is removed. The current circuit chip is made from silicon, which is not flexible and particularly easy to break. In order to avoid breakage when the card is bent, the chip is restricted to only a few millimeters in size.
Furthermore, the physical interface which allows data exchange between the integrated circuit chip and the card acceptor device will be limited to 9600 bits per second. The communication line is intended to be a bi-directional serial transmission line, which conforms to ISO standard 7816/3. All the data exchanges will be under the control of the central processing unit in the integrated circuit chip. Card commands and input data will be sent to the chip that responds with status words and output data upon the receipt of these commands and data. Information will be sent in half duplex mode (transmission of data is in one direction at a time). This protocol, together with the restriction of the bit rate, is designed to prevent massive data attack on the card.
In general, the size, the thickness and bend requirements for the smart card were designed to protect the card from being spoiled physically. However, this also limits the memory and processing resources that may be placed on the card. In the past, industry participants have encountered particular difficulty in attempting to integrate high memory chips and finger sensor technology that will withstand both the size constraints and physical daily usage such as bending in a user’s wallet sitting in his back pocket. We believe SmartMetric has met and overcome the physical demands of the credit card to produce what is a powerful on-card computer processor with state-of-the-art biometric technology.

In August 2004, these 8,560,257 shares were assigned to approximately 600 people for no consideration.
Item 6. Management's Discussion & Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations:
This analysis of the Company's financial condition, capital resources and operating results should be reviewed in conjunction with the accompanying Financial Statements, including the notes thereto.
SmartMetric was incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 18, 2002 to serve as a developer of identity management products. SmartMetric has been engaged in research and development of a biometric security solution, which can authenticate the identity of an individual in a self-contained credit card-sized device. SmartMetric refers to this device as a “biometric card” or a “Smart Card.” SmartMetric’s CEO, Colin Hendrick, has several patents pending for this biometric card. A company controlled by Mr. Hendrick has granted SmartMetric a license to use, market and distribute this patent-pending technology.
The following presentation of management's discussion and analysis of SmartMetric's financial condition should be read in conjunction with SmartMetric's financial statements and notes thereto, as well as other financial information contained in this document.
Overview
Incorporated in 2002, SmartMetric and its founder and CEO, Colin Hendrick, have been engaged in research and development of a biometric security solution which would authenticate the identity of a person in a self-contained credit card-sized device. Based on its prototype, SmartMetric’s biometric card shall use an on-board finger print sensor which is imbedded in the card along with an integrated circuit chip which will provide one gigabyte of memory capacity. SmartMetric has not yet begun to manufacture Smart Cards utilizing its licensed technology. To date, SmartMetric has had no sales revenues.
SmartMetric’s CEO, Colin Hendrick, applied for a patent for this biometric card technology connecting Smart Cards to networks, and providing secure access for such connections. In June 2004, Mr. Hendrick transferred this technology to Applied Cryptography, Inc., a Nevada corporation, he owns and controls. On August 1, 2004, Applied Cryptography entered into a license agreement with SmartMetric pursuant to which Applied Cryptography agreed to license this technology to SmartMetric in perpetuity in exchange for a royalty payment.
We had $0 sales revenue for the year ended June 30, 2004, with a net loss of $35,978.
In October 2003, we sold 50,000,000 shares of common stock to the President of SmartMetric at $.001 per share for a total of $50,000. From November 2003 to June 30, 2004, SmartMetric sold 8,560,257 shares of common stock to the President of the corporation, Colin Hendrick, at $.01 per share for a total of $85,602.57. In August 2004, Mr. Hendrick transferred these shares to approximately 600 shareholders for no consideration. All shares are restricted from resale. On September 3, 2004, SmartMetric filed a registration statement on Form SB-2 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Pursuant to the terms of this registration statement, SmartMetric seeks to offer a minimum of 500,000 and a maximum of 4,000,000 shares of a self-underwritten offering. The Company is also seeking to register 11,560,257 shares of common stock held by selling shareholder of which 3,000,000 are held by Colin Hendrick, President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of SmartMetric.
SmartMetric believes its current sources of credit and liquidity, including funds raised in its private placement are insufficient to commerce operations, and that, in the event we raise less than the maximum offering in the Public Offering, we may have to raise additional capital within the next twelve to twenty-four months. A key element of SmartMetric's growth strategy is raising adequate funding to begin to outsource the manufacture of its biometric card. SmartMetric believes it will not be able to commerce production of its biometric card without additional financing. Such financing may be in the form of debt or equity. Currently, SmartMetric has no material commitments for capital expenditures.
SmartMetric does not believe its business is seasonal in any way.
On October 30, 2003, we entered into an agreement with Information Spectrum, Inc. Pursuant to this agreement, ISI will seek to market our Smartcards. Once ISI begins such marketing efforts and is able to find companies and/or government agencies to purchase our Smartcards, we will contract with a manufacturer to produce the required number of Smartcards. While we have located several manufacturing facilities, we have not entered into agreements with any of them. There is no guarantee that ISI will locate companies or agencies that are interested in purchasing our Smartcards, or that we will be able to negotiate a manufacturing agreement on terms acceptable to SmartMetric.

SMARTMETRIC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2004, For the Period
December 18, 2002 to June 30, 2003, and For the Period
December 18, 2002 (Date of Inception) to June 30, 2004
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION
SmartMetric, Inc. (“SmartMetric”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 18, 2002. SmartMetric is developing a credit card size plastic card embedded with an integrated circuit chip and biometric fingerprint sensor which provides identification of the user (the “SmartMetric Smart Card”) to market to government agencies, corporations, and organizations interested in identification cards.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SmartMetric and its wholly owned subsidiary SmartMetric Australia Pty. Ltd. (collectively, the “Company”). The Company has been presented as a “development stage enterprise” in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No.7, “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises”. Since inception, the Company’s activities have been limited to organizational efforts, obtaining initial financing, and product development.
Use of estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair value of financial instruments - The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, stock subscriptions receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and due to related party, which approximate fair value because of their short maturity.
Income taxes - The Company follows SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on the differences between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.
Net loss per common share - Basic and diluted net loss per common share has been calculated based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.

NOTE 3 - STOCK SUBSCRIPTIONS RECEIVABLE
The stock subscriptions receivable of $35,602 at June 30, 2004 was collected in July 2004.
NOTE 4 - DEFERRED OFFERING COSTS
Deferred offering costs of $52,500 at June 30, 2004 consist of legal fees and audit fees incurred in connection with the Company’s planned public offering (see note 8). If the public offering is successful, the Company will charge these costs to additional paid-in capital. If the public offering is unsuccessful, the Company will expense these costs.
NOTE 5 - DUE TO RELATED PARTY
Prior to opening the Company’s bank account, the president of the Company paid organization costs of $600 on behalf of the Company. Subsequently, the president of the Company paid legal fees of $50,000 and audit fees of $1,250 on behalf of the Company. These loans do not bear interest and are due on demand.
NOTE 6 - STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
In October 2003, the Company sold 50,000,000 shares of Class A common stock to the president of the Company at a price of $.001 per share, or $50,000 total. From October 2003 to June 30, 2004, the Company sold 8,560,257 shares of common stock (the “Additional Shares”) to the president of the Company at a price of $.01 per share, or $85,602 total. These Additional Shares were assigned by the president of the Company in varying amounts to approximately 600 shareholders for no consideration.
The Class A common stock and the common stock have identical voting and other rights.
NOTE 7 - INCOME TAXES

SMARTMETRIC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2004, For the Period
December 18, 2002 to June 30, 2003, and For the Period
December 18, 2002 (Date of Inception) to June 30, 2004
Based on management ‘s present assessment, the Company has not yet determined it to be more likely than not that a deferred tax asset of $12,253 attributable to the future utilization of $36,038 of net operating loss carryforwards as of June 30, 2004 will be realized. Accordingly, the Company has provided a 100% allowance against the deferred tax asset in the financial statements at June 30, 2004. The Company will continue to review this valuation allowance and make adjustments as appropriate. The net operating loss carryforwards expire $60 in 2023 and $35,978 in 2024.
NOTE 8 - PLANNED PUBLIC OFFERING
The Company filed a Form SB-2 registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on September 3, 2004 in connection with a public offering (the “Public Offering”) of up to 4,000,000 shares of common stock at $1.50 per share or $6,000,000 total. The Company plans on offering the shares directly on a “best efforts, all or none basis” as to the first 500,000 shares and on a best efforts basis as to the remaining 3,500,000 shares. The shares are planned to be sold by SmartMetric’s officers and directors in a self-underwritten offering (although the Company may decide to engage registered broker-dealers to assist in the sale) for a period of 90 days (which may be extended for an additional 90 days at the Company’s option). The Public Offering plans that subscription proceeds will be placed in an escrow account until the minimum offering of $750,000 is achieved, after which proceeds shall be released directly to the Company; if the minimum offering is not sold by the end of the offering period, or extended offering period if so extended, the escrowed proceeds would be returned to investors. Also, certain selling shareholders plan on offering 11,560,257 shares for sale in this offering.
NOTE 9 - COMMITMENTS
Marketing agreement - On October 30, 2003, SmartMetric executed an agreement with Information Spectrum, Inc. (“ISI”). Pursuant to this agreement, ISI shall seek to market SmartMetric’s Smart Card technology by actively seeking customers interested in purchasing credential cards which incorporate SmartMetric’s patented Smart Card technology. Prior to ISI offering SmartMetric products by submitting a formal proposal, ISI and SmartMetric shall enter into a “Teaming Agreement” which will define each party’s rights and obligations concerning that particular sales opportunity. Every proposal will require its own Teaming Agreement. Pursuant to this Agreement, ISI is the exclusive reseller of SmartMetric products to agencies of the United States government and the Government of Canada. In addition, ISI has the right of first refusal for other marketing, sales or re-sales opportunities for customers other than the United States or Canadian governments. The terms of this agreement is two years and may be extended upon mutual agreement of the parties.

Pursuant to this license agreement, ACI will receive 2% of all revenues generated by SmartMetric on products which utilize this patented technology. The license fee will be paid on a quarterly basis based on revenues received during the quarter. The license fee shall be due within 45 days of the end of each quarter. In the event no revenues are generated through the use of any of the licensed patents during a given quarter, no money shall be owed ACI for such quarter. ACI may rescind the license agreement and reclaim all rights and interest in the patents if certain events, such as SmartMetric’s filing for bankruptcy protection or reorganization, occur. This license agreement will remain in effect for the lives of the patents. SmartMetric may utilize the patent-pending technological applications anywhere in the world without limitation.
Employment agreement - Effective July 1, 2004, SmartMetric executed an employment agreement with its president. Pursuant to this one-year employment agreement, the president shall receive an annual salary of $170,000. This salary will commence upon the Company achieving gross revenues of $1,000,000. Until that time, SmartMetric may pay the president as salary up to 25% of any offering proceeds received by the Company, which amount shall not exceed $170,000. The president is also eligible for an annual bonus based on certain performance criteria to be determined by a Compensation Committee of the board of directors at a later date. His employment may be terminated for cause at any time. According to the employment agreement, any inventions, ideas, disclosures and improvements made or conceived by him during his employment, including adoptions and improvements to existing patents, shall be his property.
Rental agreement - The Company currently uses office space provided by its president at no cost to the Company. It is anticipated that the Company will start paying rent for this space following the successful completion of the Public Offering.

During the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
