NOTE 1 – BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION
These interim condensed financial statements of COPsync, Inc. (the "Company") are unaudited, but reflect, in the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2014, and its results of operations and cash flows for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2014. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the audited financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Because all the disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States are not included, these interim condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013. The results for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2014, or any other period. The year-end condensed balance sheet data as of December 31, 2013, was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
NOTE 2 – NATURE OF ORGANIZATION AND LIQUIDITY AND MANAGEMENT PLANS
The Company sells the COPsync service, which is a real-time, in-car information sharing, communication and data interoperability network for law enforcement agencies. The COPsync Network service enables patrol officers to collect, report and share critical data in real-time at the point of incident and obtain instant access to various local, state and federal law enforcement databases. The COPsync service also eliminates manual processes and increases officer productivity by enabling officers to electronically write tickets, process DUI and other arrests and document accidents and other incidents. The Company believes that the Network service saves lives, reduces unsolved crimes and assists in apprehending criminals through such features as a nationwide officer safety alert system, GPS/auto vehicle location and distance-based alerts for crimes in progress, such as child abductions, bank robberies and police pursuits. The Company has designed the COPsync Network to be “vendor neutral,” meaning it can be used with products and services offered by other law enforcement technology vendors. Additionally, the COPsync Network system architecture is designed to scale nationwide.
In addition to the Company’s core COPsync Network service, the Company offers three complementary service/product offerings. These offerings are COPsync911, an emergency threat notification service; VidTac, an in-vehicle video camera system for law enforcement and fire departments; and WARRANTsync, a statewide misdemeanor warrant clearing database.
The Company offers the COPsync911 threat alert, first introduced in the second quarter of 2013, for use in schools, hospitals, day care facilities, governmental office buildings, energy infrastructure and other facilities with a high level of concern about security. When used in schools, for example, the COPsync911 service enables school personnel to instantly and silently send emergency alerts directly to the closest law enforcement officers in their patrol vehicles, and to the local 911 dispatch center, with the mere click of an icon located on every computer within the facility. The alert is also sent to the cell phones of all law enforcement officers in the area and to all teachers, administrators, and other staff at the school, alerting them of imminent danger. The Company expects its COPsync911 service to reduce emergency law enforcement response times by five to seven minutes.
VidTac is a software-driven video system for law enforcement. Traditional in-vehicle video systems are “hardware centric” DVR-based systems. The video capture, compression and encryption of the video stream is performed by the DVR. The estimated price of these high-end, digital DVR-based systems range from $5,100 to $11,000 per system. These DVR-based systems are typically replaced, at the same expensive price point, every three to four years as new patrol vehicles are placed into service.
The VidTac system is price advantageous vis-a-vis other high-end video systems. The Company is offering it for sale at a much lower price than the average price of DVR-based video systems. Furthermore, for those agencies that have in-vehicle computers, the VidTac system eliminates the need for the agency to purchase a second computer, i.e., the DVR, and eliminates the need to replace this second (DVR) computer every three to four years. The Company believes that the VidTac system will accelerate the Company’s revenue growth and help it achieve profitability.
The WARRANTsync system is designed to be a statewide misdemeanor warrant clearing database. It enables law enforcement officers in the field to receive notice of outstanding warrants in real-time at the point of a traffic stop. The WARRANTsync system enables the offender to pay the outstanding warrant fees and costs using a credit card or debit card. Following payment, the offender is given a receipt and the transaction is complete. This product represents a very small portion of the Company’s revenues and could be viewed as an enhancement feature to the core COPsync Network service.

At June 30, 2014, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $109,736, a working capital deficit of $3,697,217 and an accumulated deficit of $20,029,155. In the six month period ended June 30, 2014, the Company continued the efforts it began in fiscal year 2013 to manage its liquidity, to avoid default on any third-party obligations and to continue growing its business towards cash-flow break-even, and ultimately profitability, including the following:
1) We anticipate orders for our products and services will begin to accelerate during the latter part of 2014 as a our sales team becomes more seasoned.
2) In 2013, the Company introduced the COPsync911 real-time threat alert service, which the Company believes is the only threat alert service of its kind in the United States. The service enables a person (such as a schoolteacher in a school) to instantaneously and silently send emergency alerts directly from any Windows-based computer or any handheld device to local law enforcement officers in their patrol vehicles and the local emergency dispatch center with just the click of a computer mouse or screen icon. The Company is offering the COPsync911 service in the State of Texas and other selected regions of the United States. The Company expects the pace of COPsync911 sales to accelerate as its sales team and resellers becomes familiar with the service and the strategies for selling it.
3) The Company’s procurement processes for third party hardware employs “just in time” principles, meaning that the Company attempts to schedule delivery to the customer of the third party hardware it sells immediately after it receives the hardware. The Company also continues its attempts to collect customer prepayments for the third party hardware it sells at or about the time it orders the hardware. This change in the processing of third party hardware has helped the Company significantly in managing its working capital.
4) The Company’s key vendors continue to accommodate the Company through extended payment terms or practices for its outstanding payables balances, but the Company is uncertain how long these accommodations will continue.
5) In the first quarter of 2014, the Company received a $475,000 loan from the City of Pharr, Texas.
6) In April 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized management to raise up to $1,000,000 in new capital in 2014, of which $280,000 in equity has been raised as of the date of this report. Additionally, the Company has borrowed $1,405,000, and is currently in discussions with potential investors to raise at least $500,000 of the target capital amount. The Company is also seeking a working capital line of credit to fund third party and proprietary equipment purchases from the manufacturers.
7) The Company is attempting to secure up to $2.0 million in additional funding pursuant to an EB-5 program, which the Company hopes to close in 2014. The EB-5 program is a program under which foreign nationals loan money to U.S. companies who are creating U.S. jobs. Following the job creation, the foreign lenders receive U.S. “green cards.” The Company currently has a letter of intent for $1.5 million with a financier for the EB-5 program. The financier has already completed the required economic impact analysis for the project, which will be located in Pharr, Texas. The Company will use a portion of any proceeds from this EB-5 program to repay the bridge loan from the City of Pharr. Any remaining funds will be used for general working capital purposes, to include the Company’s anticipated hiring of at least 30 employees in the Pharr area over the 24 month period after receiving the proceeds, who will office in a recently refurbished leased facility owned by the City of Pharr.
8) The Company has taken steps to reduce its research and development expenses in 2014 by approximately $650,000 from the approximate $2,157,000 amount it spent in 2013. Further, the Company believes that it has the capability to reduce further operating expenses, should circumstances warrant doing so.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has accumulated significant losses as it has been developing its offerings. The Company has had recurring losses and expects to report losses for fiscal 2014. The Company believes that cash flow from operations, together with the potential sources of debt and equity financing and other sources outlined above will be sufficient to fund the Company’s anticipated operations for the next twelve months.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICES
a. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed financial statements include the accounts of the Company, are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and are prepared on the accrual method of accounting.
There have been no significant changes to the summary of significant accounting policies disclosed in Note 2 to the financial statements as of December 31, 2013 included in the Form 10-K filed on March 31, 2014.
NOTE 4 – RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND PRONOUNCEMENTS
We have implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact our unaudited consolidated financial statements.
ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”, was issued in May 2014. ASU 2014-09 requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this core principle, the guidance provides that an entity should apply the following steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when, or as, the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company expects to adopt ASU 2014-09 for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016 and the Company will continue to assess the impact on its financial statements.
NOTE 5 – INVENTORY

The Company’s inventory includes third-party hardware, which consists of computer laptops, printers and ancillary parts, such as electronic components, connectors, adapters and cables, as well as, our propriety product, VidTac. The third-party hardware is purchased from a few select vendors, whereas the VidTac product is manufactured by a contract manufacturer.
During the six months period ended June 30, 2014, the Company’s inventories decreased. The decrease in finished goods inventory resulted from the installation during the first six months of 2014 of previously-procured and inventoried third-party hardware. The various components of third-party hardware are all considered finished goods because the individual items may be, and are, sold in a package arrangement, or on an individual basis, normally at the same pricing structure.
See Note 3 to the Company’s financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 for a discussion involving the Company’s inventory investment recorded in the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.
Relative to the VidTac propriety product, in 2012 the Company selected and entered into a manufacturing agreement with a contract manufacturer to build the new VidTac unit at a contracted price and to the Company’s specifications. The manufacturing agreement calls for the Company to periodically place a demand purchase order for finished units to be manufactured and delivered as finished goods. Recently, the Company has been placing small quantity purchase orders with the contract manufacturer, with payment terms consisting of a prepayment arrangement or “pay as you go” basis, requiring approximately 50% in prepayments.
The Company’s purchase orders placed with the contract manufacturer are non-cancellable. However, (1) the Company may change the original requested delivery dates if the Company gives sufficient advance notice to the contract manufacturer, and (2) should the Company elect to cancel the purchase order in total or in part, it would be financially responsible only for any materials that could not be returned by the contract manufacturer to its source suppliers.

At December 31, 2013, the Company reported no raw materials inventory. At June 30, 2014, the Company had $34,579 in raw material pertaining to certain completed, top-level component assemblies not yet incorporated into finished VidTac units. These items will continue to be used in future manufactured VidTac units; thus the Company believes that there is no risk of obsolescence.
NOTE 6 – NOTES PAYABLE – (NON-CONVERTIBLE)
The Company’s total notes payable at June 30, 2014 was $1,613,074, representing a net increase of $1,093,340 for the six month period ended June 30, 2014. The following table shows the components of notes payable at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

Prior to the maturity date, the note holder elected to increase the amount of the note payable to $250,000. As a result, the $50,000 note was cancelled and replaced with a new $250,000 unsecured note, which matures on April 15, 2015, and accrues interest at a rate of 12.9% per annum. Payment of the accrued interest is due upon the note’s maturity. Accrued interest on the cancelled note totaled $2,807 and was paid in the second quarter of 2014.
|
6)
|
In May 2014, eight individuals loaned the Company an aggregate of $405,000 in cash. The resulting promissory notes included the following terms: each note is due thirty-six months from issuance date, contemplates a 50% simple interest return by the end of the note term, and requires a specific repayment amount be made by the Company every six months, commencing six months after the note is issued. The aggregate repayment amount of the notes payable is $607,500. The repayment amounts increase in value on an annual basis throughout the life of the note. The Company is required to repay 10%, 30% and 65% of the aggregate repayment amount in years one, two and three of the notes’ term, respectively. The aggregate discount on the notes, totaling $202,500, is recorded in the Balance Sheet at the outset as a contra-notes payable and located in long-term liabilities. The discount is amortized ratably over the life of the respective promissory notes and is recorded as interest expense in the Company’s Statement of Operations.

During the first six months of 2014, the Company made principal payments of $44,718, primarily through scheduled monthly payments on notes payable that financed the Company’s business insurance policies and bank notes for automobile loans.
Additionally, during the period, the Company paid a maturing loan in the amount of $48,646.

During the six month period ended June 30, 2014, the Company issued a total of 1,975,000 shares of common stock, along with 395,000 warrants, to eleven individual investors, for an aggregate cash purchase price of $197,500, or $0.10 per share.
During the period, the Company also issued 600,000 shares of its common stock, and 120,000 associated warrants (with an exercise price of $0.10 per share), in exchange for $60,000 of services, $31,835 of which services had been performed and $28,165 of which have yet to be performed.
The Company also issued 200,000 shares of its common stock upon the conversion of $20,000 in principal amount of an outstanding convertible note during the period (See Note 7).
NOTE 10 – COMMON STOCK TO BE ISSUED
During 2013, the Company received a series of small deposits from a single investor totaling $1,500 for the purchase of shares of common stock and 300 warrants, which the Company anticipates will be issued later in 2014. The term of the warrants is four years, and the exercise price is $0.10 per share. The warrants will have no value assigned to them because the warrants will be issued as a unit with common stock shares. This is consistent with the provisions of ASC 718.
The following table provides a reconciliation of the transactions, number of shares and associated common stock values for the common stock to be issued at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

NOTE 11 – BASIC AND FULLY DILUTED LOSS PER SHARE
The computations of basic loss per share of common stock are based upon the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period covered by the financial statements. Common stock equivalents that would arise from issuance of shares of common stock to be issued under subscriptions and other obligations of the Company, the exercise of stock options and warrants, conversion of convertible preferred stock and dividends on those shares of preferred stock or the conversion of convertible promissory notes were excluded from the loss per share attributable to common stockholders as their value is anti-dilutive.
The Company's common stock equivalents, at June 30, 2014 and 2013, which are not included in the calculation of fully diluted loss per share because they are anti-dilutive, consisted of the following:

During the six month period ended June 30, 2014, the Company issued 395,000 warrants associated with the issuance of 1,975,000 shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to new investments for cash totaling $197,500 and involving eleven individual investors. The term of the warrants is four years from date of issuance, and possesses an exercise price range of $0.10 to $0.14 per share of common stock.
Also during the six month period, the Company issued 7,155,000 warrants to purchase an aggregate of 7,155,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, at a price of $0.10 per share, to two outside consultants following their meeting specific performance metrics associated with growing the Company’s book of new business and/or securing additional capital or debt funding. Each warrant specifies the individual tranches related to the specific metrics that must be achieved in order for the underlying shares to become exercisable. The term of the two consulting agreements is five years. No valuation is determined for the respective tranches until the associated performance metric is achieved. A total of 400,000 warrants associated with these two agreements became exercisable during the six-month period as a result of one warrant holder achieving two specified metrics. The fair value of the 400,000 warrants totaled $33,559 and was determined by using the Black Scholes valuation method. This non-cash expense was recorded as general and administrative expense in the Company’s statement of operations.
Finally, the Company issued 120,000 four-year warrants to purchase 120,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (with an exercise price of $0.10 per share) in connection with the issuance of 600,000 shares of its common stock in exchange for $60,000 of services, $31,835 of which services had been performed and $28,165 of which have yet to be performed. This non-cash transaction was recorded on the Company’s Balance Sheet as a debit to Accounts Payable and Accrued Expense for $31,835 representing outstanding vendor invoices to be paid, and Prepaid Expenses for $28,165, representing the value of services to be performed by the vendor. The term of the warrants is four years from date of issuance.
Under the provisions of ASC 718, no value was assigned to the warrants granted during the six month period, thus no additional expense was recorded under the Black-Scholes option pricing model because the warrants were issued as a unit with common stock shares.
A summary of the status of the Company’s outstanding warrants, and the changes during the twelve month period ended December 31, 2013, is as follows:

NOTE 13 – EMPLOYEE OPTIONS
As of June 30, 2014, the Company has a stock-based compensation plan, the 2009 Long Term Incentive Plan.
The 2009 Long Term Incentive Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors on September 2, 2009. Under the 2009 Long Term Incentive Plan, the Company can grant nonqualified options to employees, officers, outside directors and consultants of the Company or incentive stock options to employees of the Company. There are 10,000,000 shares of common stock authorized for issuance under the 2009 Long Term Incentive Plan. In April 2014, the Board of Directors authorized an additional 10,000,000 options under the 2009 Long Term Incentive Plan. The outstanding options have a term of ten years and vest monthly over five years, quarterly over five years, quarterly over three years or over three years, with 33.3% vesting on the one year anniversary date, and the remaining 66.7% vesting quarterly over the remaining two years. As of June 30, 2014, options to purchase 9,970,554 shares of the Company’s common stock were outstanding under the plan, of which options to purchase 6,569,714 shares were exercisable, with a weighted average exercise price of $0.09 per share.
Share-based compensation expense is based upon the estimated grant date fair value of the portion of share-based payment awards that are ultimately expected to vest during the period. The grant date fair value of stock-based awards to employees and directors is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Forfeitures of share-based payment awards are reported when actual forfeiture occurs.
For the six months ended June, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded share-based compensation expense of $78,642 and $99,920, respectively.
For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company granted options to purchase 1,825,000 shares of its common stock with an exercise price of $0.10 per share. Of the total options granted, options to purchase 75,000 shares were granted to three outside directors, each of whom received a set number of options as part of their annual compensation for serving on the Company’s Board of Directors, and options to purchase 1,750,000 shares were granted to two members of executive management. The total value of these stock options, utilizing the Black Scholes valuation method, was $133,829. The term of the stock options is ten years, with three year vesting, with 33% vesting on the one-year anniversary of the grant date, and the remainder vesting ratably over the next eight quarters.
The summary activity for the six months ended June 30, 2014 under the Company’s 2009 Long Term Incentive Plan is as follows:

With regards to Purchase Obligations above, the Company has placed a demand purchase order valued at $433,130 with our VidTac contract manufacturer for finished units to be delivered ratably throughout a ten-month period commencing in September 2014.
Our purchase order placed with the contract manufacturer is non-cancellable in nature; however, there are some relief provisions: (1) we may change the original requested delivery dates if we give sufficient advance notice to the contact manufacturer; and (2) should we elect to cancel the purchase order in total or in part, we would only be financially responsible for any materials that could not be returned by the contract manufacturer to its source suppliers.
Contingent Liability
None
Compensation
See ITEM 11, “Executive Compensation”, “Employment Contracts, Termination of Employment and Change in Control”, contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, which discusses the employment agreements involving Mr. Russell Chaney and Mr. Shane Rapp, co-founders of the Company. One element contained in those discussions involves the voluntary elections by Mr. Chaney and Mr. Rapp to forego certain specified salary increases until the Company becomes profitable or the Company secures sufficient funding to sustain operations. The value of each person’s foregone salary for each of the six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 totaled $20,000 for Mr. Chaney and $19,500 for Mr. Rapp and was recorded as contributed capital in Additional Paid-in Capital on the Company’s Balance Sheet.
Litigation
The Company is not currently involved in any material legal proceedings. From time-to-time the Company anticipates it will be involved in legal proceedings, claims, and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business and otherwise. The ultimate costs to resolve any such matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial statements. The Company could be forced to incur material expenses with respect to these legal proceedings, and in the event there is an outcome in any that is adverse to it, the Company’s financial position and prospects could be harmed.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Statements in this report which are not purely historical facts or which necessarily depend upon future events, including statements about trends, uncertainties, hopes, beliefs, anticipations, expectations, plans, intentions or strategies for the future, may be forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from the events or results described in the forward-looking statements, including risks and uncertainties described in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. Any of these risk factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or financial results and reduce the value of an investment in our securities. We may not succeed in addressing these and other risks associated with an investment in our securities, with our business and with our achieving any forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements are based upon information available to us on the date the statements are made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Overview
The Company sells the COPsync service, which is a real-time, in-car information sharing, communication and data interoperability network for law enforcement agencies. The COPsync Network service enables patrol officers to collect, report and share critical data in real-time at the point of incident and obtain instant access to various local, state and federal law enforcement databases. The COPsync service also eliminates manual processes and increases officer productivity by enabling officers to electronically write tickets, process DUI and other arrests and document accidents and other incidents. The Company believes that the Network service saves lives, reduces unsolved crimes and assists in apprehending criminals through such features as a nationwide officer safety alert system, GPS/auto vehicle location and distance-based alerts for crimes in progress, such as child abductions, bank robberies and police pursuits. The Company has designed the COPsync Network to be “vendor neutral,” meaning it can be used with products and services offered by other law enforcement technology vendors. Additionally, the COPsync Network system architecture is designed to scale nationwide.
The Company offers the COPsync911 threat alert, first introduced in the second quarter of 2013, for use in schools, hospitals, day care facilities, governmental office buildings, energy infrastructure and other facilities with a high level of concern about security. When used in schools, for example, the COPsync911 service enables school personnel to instantly and silently send emergency alerts directly to the closest law enforcement officers in their patrol vehicles, and to the local 911 dispatch center, with the mere click of an icon located on every Windows-based computer and mobile device within the facility. The alert is also sent to the cell phones of all law enforcement officers in the area and to all teachers, administrators, and other staff at the school, alerting them of imminent danger. The Company expects its COPsync911 service to reduce emergency law enforcement response times by an estimated five to seven minutes.
We also sell VidTac, an in-vehicle video camera system for law enforcement. The VidTac system is a software-driven video system for law enforcement. Traditional in-vehicle video systems are typically “hardware centric” DVR-based systems. The capture, compression and encryption of the video stream for these systems typically is performed by the DVR. We estimate that the price of these high-end, digital DVR-based systems range between $5,100 and $11,000 per system. These DVR-based systems are typically replaced, at the same expensive price point, every three to four years as new patrol vehicles are placed into service.
We believe that our VidTac system is price advantageous vis-a-vis other high-end video systems. We are offering our system for sale at a much lower price than the average price of DVR-based video systems. Furthermore, for those agencies that have in-vehicle computers, our VidTac system eliminates the need to purchase a second computer, i.e., the DVR, and eliminates the need to replace this second (DVR) computer every three to four years. We believe that our VidTac system will accelerate our revenue growth and help us achieve profitability.
To date, our COPsync Network service has successfully submitted, processed and relayed over 8,940,000 officer initiated information requests. On average, our service is returning responses to our customers in less than five seconds, well within the 32 second average NCIC 2000 standard for mobile clients.
As of June 30, 2014, 545 law enforcement agencies, courts and school districts, primarily in the State of Texas, had contractually subscribed to use our COPsync Network, including the WARRANTsync warrant collection feature, and COPsync911 threat alert service. We currently have at least one customer using at least one of our products in 78% of the 254 Texas counties.
We sell the COPsync Network and the COPsync911 threat alert service on a “software as a service” (SaaS) subscription basis. Our customers subscribe to use the service for a contractually specified period. Service fees are typically paid annually at the inception of each year of service. Our business model is to obtain subscribers to use our service, achieve a high subscription renewal rate from those subscribers and then grow our revenue through a combination of new subscribers and renewals (at modest, yet ever increasing prices) of existing subscribers.
Pertinent attributes of the Company’s business model include the following:
- We incur start-up costs and recurring fixed costs to establish and maintain the service.
- We acquire subscribers and bring them onto our service, which requires variable acquisition costs related to sales, installation and deployment.
- Subscribers are recruited with the goal of reaching a level of aggregate subscriber payments that exceeds the fixed (and variable) recurring service costs.
- Adding new subscribers at a high rate and having a high renewal rate among existing subscribers is essential to attaining positive cash flow from operations in the near term.
Assuming we are successful in obtaining new users of our service, as well as retaining high renewal rates of existing users, we anticipate that the recurring nature of the Company`s subscription model will result in annually recurring, sustainable and predictable cash and revenue growth, year-over-year.
In the Homeland Security Act of 2002, Congress mandated that all U.S. law enforcement agencies, federal, state and local, implement information sharing solutions, referred to as “interoperability.” The COPsync Network service provides this interoperability. Prior to the introduction of our service, significant real-time, in-field, information sharing among law enforcement agencies, regardless of the vendor used, did not exist in the United States. We believe that this lack of interoperability existed, and continues today, because law enforcement software vendors maintain and operate proprietary systems that do not interoperate with systems of other vendors. Our business model involves connecting the proprietary systems of these various vendors, thus enabling the sharing of real-time, in-field, information between the agency customers of those vendors. Our service can act as an overlay for those vendors who do not offer an in-vehicle mobile technology or an underlay that operates in the background for those vendors that do offer an in-vehicle mobile technology.
Basis of Presentation, Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions. Critical accounting policies and estimates are defined as those that are both most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results and require management's most subjective judgments.
We describe our significant accounting policies in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the Notes to Financial Statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. We discuss our Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Results of Operations
Revenues
Total revenues for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 were $1,579,591 and $3,067,411, respectively, compared to $869,847 and $2,020,976 for the respective comparable periods in 2013. Total revenues are comprised of software license/subscriptions revenue and hardware, installation and other revenue. Software license/subscriptions revenue is a key indicator of revenue performance in future years, since this revenue represents that portion of our revenue that is anticipated to recur as our service contracts renew from year-to-year. Hardware, installation and other revenue is a one-time revenue event, and is not a key indicator of future performance. Software license/subscriptions for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 were $644,675 and $1,227,564, respectively, compared to $416,689 and $813,956 for the respective comparable periods in 2013. The increase in software license/subscriptions revenue was due to an increase in the number of law enforcement agency contracts executed between periods, increased revenue attributable to contract renewals, and approximately $160,000 in revenues attributable to our new product, COPsync911, which we introduced in 2013. Hardware, installation and other revenues for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 were $934,916 and $1,839,847, respectively, compared to $453,158 and $1,207,020 for the respective comparable periods in 2013. The increase in these revenues was due to a significant increase in large, hardware intensive contracts, involving both new customers and existing customers electing to replace or update their computer equipment.
Some of our new contracts are multiple-year contracts that typically include hardware, installation and training (and integration in some cases) and software license/subscriptions revenue during the first year of the contract, followed by software license/subscriptions revenue during the remaining years of the contract. Normally, we receive full payment up front upon inception of the contract. This up-front payment is initially recorded as deferred revenues and subsequently recognized as revenue ratably during the service period. As of June 30, 2014, we had $3,712,923 in deferred revenues, compared to $3,931,013 as of December 31, 2013. We do not believe that the deferred revenues resulting from these payments will have a material effect on our future working capital for the later years of the contract service periods because a large portion of our continuing customer support costs are incrementally fixed in nature.

Total cost of revenues for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014, were $1,042,014 and $1,962,427, respectively, compared to $629,385 and $1,371,611 for the respective comparable periods in 2013. As a result, we realized gross profits for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 of $537,577 and $1,104,984, respectively, compared to $240,462 and $649,365 for the respective comparable periods in 2013.
Cost of revenues for hardware, installation and other revenues for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 were $799,361 and $1,497,268, respectively, compared to $397,307 and $916,936 for the respective comparable periods in 2013. The increase in cost of these revenues between the periods was due to higher hardware sales in 2014. Included in the cost of these revenues are internal costs, which totaled $52,840 and $107,671 respectively, in 2014, compared to $29,217 and $61,563 for the respective comparable periods in 2013. These internal costs represent salaries and travel expenses for our in-house installation and training staff. The increase in internal costs between periods is due principally to an increase in headcount and travel expenses. The total gross profit from hardware, installation and other revenue totaled $135,555 and $342,579, respectively, compared to $55,851 and $290,084 for the respective comparable periods in 2013. The increase in gross profit performance was due to the increased volume of this business.
Cost of revenues for software license/subscription revenues for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 were $242,653 and $465,159, respectively, compared to $232,078 and $454,675 for the respective comparable periods in 2013. These costs represent internal costs associated with our customer support team and web-hosting facilities, as well as amortization of capitalized developmental software. The resulting gross profit from software license/subscription revenues for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 were $402,022 and $762,405, respectively, compared to $184,611 and $359,281 for the respective comparable periods in 2013. The increase in gross profit from these sales was due to the higher level of revenues compared to a relatively constant level of costs associated with these revenues.
Our total cost of revenues has the potential to fluctuate with revenues because of the variable cost nature of hardware, installation and other revenues contained in future contracts. Conversely, our internal costs associated with installation, training, customer support and web-site hosting were relatively flat throughout year 2014.
Operating Expenses
Research and Development
Total research and development expenses for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 were $405,667 and $958,671, respectively, compared to $579,552 and $1,029,149 for the respective comparable periods in 2013. The decreases were due to decreased contract labor for IT/software development services and decreased employee headcount resulting from management’s decision to reduce research and development expenses by approximately $650,000 from the $2,157,597 that we spent on those expenses in 2013.
Sales and Marketing
Total sales and marketing expenses for the three-month and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 were $332,044 and $649,001, respectively, compared to $277,560 and $598,280 for the respective comparable periods in fiscal 2013. The increases in these expenses between periods are due primarily to increases in personnel and travel-related costs resulting from headcount additions that occurred in the first quarter of 2014. We believe our sales and marketing expenses for fiscal year 2014 will remain higher than those expenses incurred in fiscal year 2013.
General and Administrative
Total general and administrative expenses for the three-month and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 were $359,310 and $792,483, respectively, compared to $362,623 and $725,763 for the respective comparable periods in fiscal 2013. The year-over-year increase in expenses for the six month periods is due principally to professional services incurred in the first quarter of 2014 and involving the Company making application for additional funding pursuant to the EB-5 program. We believe that our general and administrative expenses for the remainder of fiscal 2014 will remain flat relative with the expense level incurred during the second quarter of 2014.
Other Expense
Other expense, consisting principally of interest expense, totaled $46,075 and $57,122 for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014, respectively, compared to $3,005 and $7,784, respectively, for same periods in fiscal 2013. The increase in interest expense between periods relates to our recently completed debt transactions.
Net Loss Before Income Taxes
The net loss before income taxes for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 were $605,519 and $1,352,293, respectively, compared to $982,328 and $1,711,611, respectively, for the same periods in fiscal 2013.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have funded our operations since inception through the sale of equity and debt securities and from cash generated by operating activities. As of June 30, 2014, we had $109,736 in cash and cash equivalents, compared to $414,051 as of December 31, 2013. The $304,315 decrease in cash was due to net cash used by operating activities of $1,499,311 and investing activities of $14,140, partially offset by net cash provided by financing activities of $1,209,136.
The net cash provided by financing activities represents cash proceeds of $197,500 from investments in our common stock for cash, and $1,105,000 in proceeds from the issuance of various promissory notes. This cash provided was partially offset by $93,364 in cash used, representing payments on outstanding notes for automobile and business insurance loans and a single notes payable of $48,646.
We had a working capital deficiency of $3,697,217 on June 30, 2014, compared to a deficiency of $3,739,475 on December 31, 2013. However, on June 30, 2014, our current liabilities included $2,625,084 in net deferred revenues attributable to future performance obligations under prepaid customer contracts, the actual future costs of which, we believe will not represent a majority of this amount. Of the notes payable, current portion totaling $639,790 included in current liabilities, $588,477 of the notes are held by stockholders of the Company. The Company believes that these notes would be extended by the note holders should the Company not have sufficient cash on hand to repay the notes on the current due dates.
Plan of Operation for the Next Twelve Months
We expect our liquidity position to improve as we proceed through fiscal 2014, thus enabling us to support our planned operating expenses. During the first six months of 2014, we continued the efforts we began in 2013 to manage our liquidity, to avoid default on any third-party obligations and to continue growing our business towards cash-flow break-even, and ultimately profitability, including the following:
1) We anticipate orders for our products and services will begin to accelerate during the latter part of 2014 as our sales team becomes more seasoned. We also expect to collect cash from renewing customers of approximately $1.9 million in 2014, an estimated $800,000 increase over the approximately $1.1 million in cash from renewing customers collected in 2013.
2) In 2013, we introduced our COPsync911 real-time threat alert service, which we believe is the only threat alert service of its kind in the United States. The service enables a person (such as a schoolteacher in a school) to instantaneously and silently send emergency alerts directly to local law enforcement officers in their patrol vehicles and the local emergency dispatch center with just the click of a computer mouse or screen icon. We are offering the COPsync911 service in the State of Texas and other selected regions of the United States. We expect the pace of COPsync911 sales to accelerate as our sales team and resellers become familiar with the service and the strategies for selling it. We expect COPsync911 bookings from our direct and channel sales efforts to approximate $500,000 for fiscal year 2014.
3) Our procurement processes for third party hardware employs “just in time” principles, meaning that we attempt to schedule delivery to the customer of the third party hardware we sell immediately after we receive the hardware. We also continue in our attempts to collect customer prepayments for the third party hardware we sell at or about the time we order the hardware. This change in the processing of third party hardware has helped us significantly in managing our working capital.
4) Our key vendors continue to accommodate us through extended payment terms or practices for our outstanding payables balances, but we are uncertain how long these accommodations will continue.
5) In the first quarter of 2014, we received a $475,000 loan from the City of Pharr, Texas.
6) In April 2014, our Board of Directors authorized management to raise up to $1,000,000 in new capital in 2014, of which $280,000 in equity has been raised as of the date of this report. Additionally, we have borrowed $1,405,000, and are currently in discussions with potential investors to raise at least $500,000 of the target capital amount. We are also seeking a working capital line of credit to fund third party and proprietary equipment purchases from our manufacturers.
7) We are attempting to secure up to $1.5 million in funding pursuant to an EB-5 visa program, which we hope to close in 2014. The EB-5 program is a program under which foreign nationals loan money to U.S. companies who are creating U.S. jobs. Following the job creation, the foreign lenders receive U.S. “green cards.” We currently have a letter of intent with a financier for the EB-5 project. The financier has already completed the required economic impact analysis for the project, which will be located in Pharr, Texas. We will use a portion of any proceeds from this EB-5 program to repay the bridge loan from the City of Pharr, Texas. Any remaining funds will be used for general working capital purposes, including our anticipated hiring of at least 30 employees in the Pharr area over the twenty-four month period after receiving the proceeds, who will office in a recently refurbished leased facility owned by the City of Pharr.
8) We plan to reduce our research and development expenses in 2014 by approximately $650,000 from the approximate amount of $2,157,000 we spent in 2013. We believe that we have the capability to reduce further operating expenses, should circumstances warrant doing so.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have accumulated significant losses as we have been developing our offerings. We have had recurring losses and expect to report losses for fiscal 2014. We believe that cash flow from operations, together with our current capital raising efforts outlined above will be sufficient to fund our anticipated operations for the next twelve months.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Not applicable.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the date of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, we conducted, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e)) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting information required to be disclosed within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the three months ended June 30, 2014, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are not currently involved in any material legal proceedings. From time-to-time we anticipate we will be involved in legal proceedings, claims, and litigation arising in the ordinary course of our business and otherwise. The ultimate costs to resolve any such matters could have a material adverse effect on our financial statements. We could be forced to incur material expenses with respect to these legal proceedings, and in the event there is an outcome in any that is adverse to us, our financial position and prospects could be harmed.
None
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
During the three months ended June 30, 2014, we issued 1,675,000 shares of our common stock, and associated warrants (with exercise prices ranging from $0.10 to $0.14 per share) to purchase 335,000 shares of our common stock, in exchange for an aggregate $167,500 in cash. Additionally, we issued 600,000 shares of our common stock, and 120,000 associated warrants (with an exercise price of $0.10 per share) in exchange for $60,000 of software development services, $31,835 of which services were already performed and $28,165 of which are to be performed.
The shares of common stock and warrants were offered primarily to individuals and entities that we reasonably believed to be “accredited investors,” as such term is defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act. The offer and sale was made without registration under the Securities Act, or the securities laws of certain states, in reliance on the exemptions provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D under the Securities Act and in reliance on similar exemptions under applicable state laws. No general solicitation or general advertising was used in connection with the offering of the common stock and warrants. We disclosed to the investors that the shares of common stock and the warrants, and the common stock underlying the warrants, could not be sold unless they are registered under the Securities Act or unless an exemption from registration is available and the certificates representing the shares and the warrants included, and the certificates representing the common stock to be issued upon exercise of the warrants (if applicable) will include a legend to that effect.
