(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
Organization & Business Activities
DSS Technology Management, Inc. (“LTG” or “the Company” or the “Parent”), was incorporated as a Delaware corporation on May 10, 2012 under the name Snip Inc. On September 10, 2012, Snip Inc. changed its name to Lexington Technology Group, Inc. On July 1, 2013, LTG changed its name to DSS Technology Management, Inc. LTG is a holding company that owns 100% of the membership interests of Bascom Research, LLC (“Bascom”). Bascom was incorporated in Virginia on June 6, 2012 under the name of Bascom Linking Intellectual Property, LLC, for the purpose of acquiring and/or developing patented technologies and intellectual property. On August 29, 2012, Bascom Linking Intellectual Property, LLC changed its name to Bascom Research, LLC. LTG and its wholly-owned subsidiary Bascom are herein collectively referred to as the “Company”.
LTG is a development stage company that has minimal revenues to date. LTG’s strategic objective is to maximize, for inventors and investors, the economic benefits of intellectual property assets. LTG’s business model is to leverage the extensive background and expertise of its management and advisors to acquire or internally develop patented technology or intellectual property assets (or interests therein), and to then monetize these assets for the benefit of its stockholders and the developers of the acquired technology through a variety of value-enhancing initiatives, including, but not limited to, investment in the development and commercialization of patented technologies, licensing, strategic partnerships and commercial litigation.
Completion of Merger with LTG
On July 1, 2013 (the “Closing Date”), DSSIP, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Documents Security Systems, Inc. (“DSS”) merged with and into LTG, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the previously announced Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 1, 2012 (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among DSS, LTG, Merger Sub and Hudson Bay Master Fund Ltd. (“Hudson Bay”), as representative of LTG’s stockholders (the “Merger”). Effective on July 1, 2013, as a result of the Merger, LTG became a wholly-owned subsidiary of DSS. In connection with the Merger, DSS issued on the Closing Date, its securities to LTG’s stockholders in exchange for the capital stock owned by LTG’s stockholders, as follows (the “Merger Consideration”): (i) an aggregate of 16,558,387 shares of DSS’s common stock, par value $0.02 per share (the “Common Stock”) ; (ii) 7,100,000 shares of DSS’s Common Stock to be held in escrow pursuant to an escrow agreement, dated July 1, 2013, entered into by and among DSS, Hudson Bay and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agreement”); (iii) warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 4,859,894 shares of DSS’s Common Stock, at an exercise price of $4.80 per share and expiring on July 1, 2018; and (iv) warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 3,432,170 shares of DSS Common Stock, at an exercise price of $0.02 per share and expiring on July 1, 2023 (the “$.02 Warrants”), to LTG’s preferred stockholders that would beneficially own more than 9.99% of the shares of DSS’s Common Stock as a result of the Merger (the “Beneficial Ownership Condition”). In addition, DSS assumed options to purchase an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of DSS’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share, in exchange for 3,600,000 outstanding and unexercised stock options to purchase shares of LTG’s common stock. In addition, DSS issued an aggregate of 786,678 shares of Common Stock to Palladium Capital Advisors, LLC as compensation for their services in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Of those shares issued to Palladium Capital Advisors, LLC, 400,000 are currently being held in escrow pursuant to the same terms and conditions as those set forth in the Escrow Agreement.
As a result of the consummation of the Merger, as of the Closing Date, the former stockholders of LTG own approximately 51% of the outstanding common stock of the combined company and the stockholders of DSS own approximately 49% of the outstanding common stock of the combined company.
Pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, the shares of DSS’s Common Stock deposited in the escrow account will be released to the holders of the LTG common stock (pro rata on a fully-diluted basis as of the effective time of the Merger) if and when the closing price per share of DSS Common Stock exceeds $5.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends and similar events) for 40 trading days within a continuous 90 trading day period following the closing of the Merger. If within one year following the closing of the Merger, such threshold is not achieved, the shares of DSS’s Common Stock held in escrow shall be cancelled and returned to the treasury of DSS. LTG stockholders will have voting rights with respect to DSS’s shares owned by such stockholders and held in escrow for one year following the closing of the Merger even though such shares may be cancelled and returned to the treasury of DSS if the condition for release of the shares held in escrow is not met.

DSS TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
If after one year, the shares held in escrow are cancelled because the conditions discussed above were not met, the former stockholders of LTG are expected to own approximately 45% of the outstanding common stock of the combined company and the stockholders of DSS are expected to own approximately 55% of the outstanding common stock of the combined company (without taking into account any shares of DSS’s Common Stock held by LTG’s stockholders prior to the completion of the Merger, and excluding the exercise of any options and warrants).
The transaction will be accounted for as a business combination in accordance with the Business Combination Topic of the FASB ASC 805. Under the guidance, the assets and liabilities of the acquired business, LTG, are recorded at their fair value at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values is recorded as goodwill, if any. If the fair value of the assets acquired exceeds the purchase price and the liabilities assumed, then a gain on acquisition is recorded.
Six Months Ended 2013 Activity
In February 2013, the Company repaid the outstanding balance of senior notes and accrued interest, in accordance with their original terms, totaling $3.4 million.
In March 2013, LTG made a strategic investment in VirtualAgility, a developer of programming platforms that facilitate the creation of business applications without programming or coding. The investment by LTG involves a non-recourse note against the proceeds derived from the patent portfolio owned by VirtualAgility, plus an equity stake of 1/8 of 7% of the outstanding common stock of VirtualAgility, for $250,000 cash, plus options to make seven additional quarterly investments of $250,000 apiece, for a total investment of up to $2 million cash. If LTG exercised all of such options, it would have invested an aggregate of $2 million and, based on the current capitalization of VirtualAgility, would own approximately 7% of the outstanding common stock of VirtualAgility.
Change in Year End
On December 31, 2012, LTG’s Board of Directors approved a change in the Company’s fiscal reporting year to a December 31st calendar year end from a June 30th fiscal year end. Accordingly, financial information presented in this report is as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2013.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). All normal recurring adjustments which are necessary for the fair presentation of the results for the interim periods are reflected herein. Operating results for the six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and the period from May 10, 2012 (inception) though June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full year.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 2 — LIQUIDITY AND MANAGEMENT’S BUSINESS PLANS
The business will require significant amounts of capital to sustain operations and make the investments it needs to execute its longer term business plan. The Company has cash of approximately $6.6 million and net working capital of approximately $6.8 million at June 30, 2013. The Company’s cash and working capital amounts were derived from the proceeds of an initial financing transaction in which it raised aggregate proceeds of approximately $3.6 million through the issuance of senior notes, common stock and common stock purchase warrants to founding stockholders, proceeds of approximately $5.6 million from the exercise of warrants by the investors and net proceeds of approximately $5.1 million from the private placement of shares of Company’s common stock. The Company’s net losses for the period of May 10, 2012 (inception) through June 30, 2012, for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and for the period of May 10, 2012 (inception) through June 30, 2013 were approximately $0.2 million, $2.8 million and $11.8 million, respectively, and the deficit accumulated by the Company since inception amounts to approximately $11.8 million. During the six month period ended June 30, 2013, the Company used approximately $3.4 million of its available funds to repay the outstanding balance of its senior notes and accrued interest.
In order to monetize the patent assets LTG acquired from Thomas Bascom, LTG has commenced legal proceedings against five companies, including Facebook, Inc. and LinkedIn Corporation, pursuant to which LTG alleges that such companies infringe on one or more of LTG’s patents. LTG’s viability is dependent on the outcome of this litigation, and there is a risk that LTG may be unable to achieve the results it desires from such litigation, which failure would significantly harm LTG’s business. In addition, the defendants in this litigation are much larger than LTG and have substantially more resources than LTG does, which could make LTG’s litigation efforts more difficult.
LTG anticipates that these legal proceedings may continue for several years and may require significant expenditures for legal fees and other expenses. Disputes regarding the assertion of patents and other intellectual property rights are highly complex and technical. Once initiated, LTG may be forced to litigate against others to enforce or defend LTG’s intellectual property rights or to determine the validity and scope of other parties’ proprietary rights. The defendants or other third parties involved in the lawsuits in which LTG is involved may allege defenses and/or file counterclaims in an effort to avoid or limit liability and damages for patent infringement. If such defenses or counterclaims are successful, they may have a material adverse effect on the value of the patents and preclude LTG’s ability to derive licensing revenue from the patents, or any revenue.
Therefore, a negative outcome of any such litigation, or one or more claims contained within any such Litigation, could materially and adversely impact LTG’s business. Additionally, LTG anticipates that its legal fees and other expenses will be material and will negatively impact LTG’s financial condition and results of operations and may result in its inability to continue its business. LTG estimates that its legal fees over the next twelve months will be approximately $2,000,000. Expenses thereafter are dependent on the outcome of the litigation; in the event the case is appealed, legal fees over the course of the subsequent twelve months would be approximately $2,000,000. The costs of enforcing LTG’s patent rights may exceed its recoveries from such enforcement activities. In addition, the primary law firm being utilized by LTG for such litigation would be entitled to a certain percentage of any recoveries from the litigation or licensing of the patents. The inventor of the patents is likewise entitled to a percentage of such recoveries, as is IP Navigation Group, the intellectual property consulting firm engaged by LTG in connection with its efforts to acquire and monetize this portfolio of patents. Accordingly, in order for LTG to generate a profit from its patent enforcement and monetization activities, the revenues from such enforcement and monetization activities must be high enough to offset both the cash outlays and the contingent fees payable from such revenues. LTG’s failure to monetize its patent assets would significantly harm its business.
LTG will receive between 60 to 65% of the total consideration (including cash payments, equity, assets, or any other form of consideration) received from any license, settlement, judgment or other award relating to the Bascom Research patents. For all consideration earned outside of litigation, LTG will receive 65% of the total consideration with the other 35% paid to three other parties (the “Monetization Partners”): (i) Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel, LLP (“Kramer Levin”), which firm is national counsel for Bascom Research; (ii) IP Navigation, LLC (“IP Navigation”), which is the monetization advisor for Bascom Research; and (iii) Thomas Bascom, the inventor of the Bascom Research patents. For all consideration earned within litigation but prior to the empanelment of a Jury, LTG will earn 60% of the total consideration with the other 40% paid to the Monetization Partners. For all consideration earned within litigation and after the empanelment of a jury, LTG will earn 65% of the total consideration with the other 35% paid to the Monetization Partners. Of such amounts to be paid to the Monetization Partners, LTG will pay 10% of the total consideration to Thomas Bascom pursuant to the Patent Purchase Agreement between LTG and Mr. Bascom and the remainder of such consideration shall be apportioned among Kramer Levin and IP Navigation, the service providers to LTG. LTG is not obligated to use IP Navigation with respect to any patent portfolio other than the Bascom Portfolio and LTG is free to not use IP Navigation’s services in connection with the Bascom Portfolio, provided, however, that IP Navigation will remain entitled to its share of the total consideration generated by the Bascom Portfolio unless IP Navigation materially breaches its agreement with LTG.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 3 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFCANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of LTG and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers financial instruments with maturities of less than three months when purchased to be cash equivalents. There are no cash equivalents as of the balance sheet date.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Key accounting estimates include the assumptions used to calculate the fair values of securities issued in the financing transaction.
Development Stage Reporting
The Company is a development stage enterprise as defined in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 915 “Development Stage Entities” (“ASC 915”). The Company is currently attempting to raise additional funds it would use to purchase intellectual properties and implement its operating plan. Accordingly, the Company has not yet commenced its fully planned operations. The Company is subject to all of the risks and uncertainties that are typical in the life-cycle stage of its business. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in its efforts to commence its fully planned operations or that the commencement will actually result in the realization of its business objectives.
Intangible Assets
The Company accounts for purchases of intangible assets in accordance with the provisions of ASC 350 “Intangibles” (“ASC 350”) and ASC 360 “Fixed Assets” (“ASC 360”). The useful lives of intangible assets are determined at the date of purchase and are periodically evaluated for reasonableness. The assets will be tested for impairment at least annually, if determined to have an indefinite life, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may no longer be recoverable. Costs to investigate potential purchases of intangible assets will be treated as expense when incurred, until or unless the purchase of the respective assets will be deemed viable, after which time the costs to further investigate and purchase the assets will be capitalized. Subsequent to purchase, legal and associated costs incurred in prosecuting alleged infringements of the patents will be recognized as expense when incurred.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Concentrations of Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist of cash. At times, the Company’s cash balances may be uninsured or in deposit accounts that exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits. As of June 30, 2013, the Company had cash and cash equivalent balances of approximately $6.3 million in excess of the federally insured limit of $250,000. All of the Company's cash in banks at June 30, 2013 was deposited in non-interest bearing checking accounts.
Common Stock Purchase Warrants
The Company accounts for the issuance of common stock purchase warrants issued in connection with capital financing transactions in accordance with the provisions of ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The Company classifies as equity any contracts that (i) require physical settlement or net-share settlement, or (ii) gives the Company a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in its own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). The Company classifies as assets or liabilities any contracts that (i) require net-cash settlement (including a requirement to net-cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside the control of the Company), or (ii) gives the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). The Company also classifies as liabilities, any contracts that contain variable settlement provisions that cannot be measured as explicit or implicit inputs in a standard option pricing model.
Fair Value Measurement
The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”), for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. ASC 820 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to existing US GAAP that requires the use of fair value measurements which establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements.
ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, ASC 820 requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized below:
Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the use of the reporting entity’s own assumptions.
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate their estimated fair value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying amount of the notes payable at June 30, 2013, approximate their respective fair value based on the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. As described in Note 5, the Company measured the fair value of the warrant liability using the Binomial Lattice option pricing model, which requires the use of significant assumptions. Accordingly, the warrant liability is classified in level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.
In addition, FASB ASC 825-10-25 “Fair Value Option” was effective for January 1, 2008. ASC 825-10-25 expands opportunities to use fair value measurements in financial reporting and permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value.

Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases as well as operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the periods in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent that the recoverability of the asset is unlikely to be recognized.
The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740, which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a return. Management has evaluated and concluded that there were no material uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s financial statements as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. The Company does not expect any significant changes in the unrecognized tax benefits within twelve months of the reporting date.
Interest costs and penalties related to income taxes are classified as interest expense and selling, general and administrative costs, respectively, in the Company's consolidated financial statements. For the period from May 10, 2012 (inception) to June 30, 2013, the Company did not recognize any interest or penalties related to income taxes. The Company will file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and states in which it does business. These tax returns will be subject to examination by tax authorities for three years from the date the returns are filed.

Stock-Based Compensation
The Company measures its compensation cost for all stock-based awards at fair value on the date of grant, taking into account any post vesting selling restrictions, and recognizes the compensation expense over the requisite service period pursuant to the provisions of ASC Topic 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation. Expenses associated with such grants are generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, net of estimated forfeitures. Deferred stock based compensation costs with respect to shares of restricted stock and stock options granted are presented as part of additional paid in capital.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a significant effect to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated subsequent events to determine if events or transactions occurring through the date these consolidated financial statements were issued, require potential adjustment to or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements and has concluded that no subsequent events have occurred that would require recognition in the consolidated financial statements or disclosure in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Preferred Stock
On July 13, 2012 the Company filed a Certificate of Designation with the Secretary of State of Delaware to authorize the issuance of up to 29,000,000 shares (27,225,000 authorized for Series A) of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 which have been designated as Series A Preferred Stock with such rights and preferences designated in the Company’s Certificate of Designation (the “Series A Preferred Stock”). In the event of any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, or in the event of its insolvency, and after provision for payment of all debts and liabilities of the Company in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law, any remaining assets of the Company shall be distributed pro rata to the holders of common stock and the holders of Series A Preferred Stock as if the Series A Preferred Stock had been converted into shares of common stock.
On July 16, 2012, the Company entered into an exchange agreement whereby the Company offered to all of its stockholders a right to exchange up to 99% of their shares of common stock for the same number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, $0.0001 par value and gave the holders of its warrants the right to elect to exchange the common stock underlying such warrants for Series A Preferred Stock. On the same date common stock holders exchanged 13,799,440 shares of $0.0001 par value common stock into 13,799,440 shares of Series A Preferred Stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. The exchange did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as the benefit of exchanging the common for the preferred is nominal.
The holders of Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to vote together with the holders of the common stock and as a single class on all matters submitted for a vote of holders of common stock. When voting together with the holders of common stock, each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to such number of votes per share on each such action as will equal the number of shares of common stock into which each share of such Series A Preferred Stock is then convertible. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company and after provision for payment of all debts and liabilities of the Company, any remaining assets of the Company shall be distributed pro rata to the holders of common stock and the holders of Series A Preferred Stock as if the Series A Preferred Stock had been converted into shares of common stock.
Rights Offering
On February 1, 2013, LTG completed the sale of 4,285,718 shares of its common stock at a purchase price of $0.35 per share to certain of its existing stockholders, who elected to participate in an offering, conducted by LTG to its entire existing stockholders, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $1.5 million.
NOTE 7 — INVESTMENTS
Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, on October 1, 2012, DSS entered into subscription agreements with certain accredited investors, pursuant to which DSS agreed to issue and sell to such investors in a private placement an aggregate of 833,651 shares of its common stock, at a purchase price of $3.30 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $2,751,048 (the “Private Placement”). The Private Placement was completed on October 1, 2012. LTG participated in the private placement and purchased an aggregate of 218,675 shares of DSS common stock, at a purchase price of $3.30 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $0.7 million.
LTG adopted the fair value option because the investment in DSS is a recognized financial asset. LTG recorded this investment at fair value with the change in fair value recorded through earnings. LTG measured its investment in DSS at fair value, taking into account any selling restrictions. From October 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013, the Company recorded a $0.2 million unrealized loss. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company recorded a $0.1 million unrealized gain. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the fair value of its investment in DSS amounted to $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively.
In March 2013, LTG made a strategic investment in VirtualAgility, a developer of programming platforms that facilitate the creation of business applications without programming or coding. The investment by LTG involves a non-recourse note against the proceeds derived from the patent portfolio owned by VirtualAgility, plus an equity stake of 1/8 of 7% of the outstanding common stock of VirtualAgility, for $250,000 cash, plus options to make seven additional quarterly investments of $250,000 apiece, for a total investment of up to $2 million in cash. If LTG exercises all of such options, it will have invested an aggregate of $2 million and, based on the current capitalization of virtual Agility, would own approximately 7% of the outstanding common stock of VirtualAgility. LTG recorded its investment in VirtualAgility at fair value which approximates its cost basis.

NOTE 8 — STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
On November 20, 2012 LTG granted 200,000 shares of restricted common stock, of which 100,000 shares vested immediately and 100,000 shares vest in February 2013. LTG also granted on November 20, 2012 non-statutory options to purchase up to 3,600,000 shares of its common stock, at an exercise price of $1.67 per share and a contractual term of ten years.
The Company recorded stock-based compensation of $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The unamortized deferred stock-based compensation balance as of June 30, 2013 was $1.8 million and will be fully amortized through 2015.
The Company estimates the fair value of stock option grants using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. In applying this model, the Company uses the following assumptions:
• | Risk-Free Interest Rate: The Company determined the risk-free interest rate equivalent to the expected term based on the U.S. Treasury constant maturity rate. | |
• | Expected Volatility: The Company determined its future stock price volatility based on the average historical stock price volatility of comparable peer companies. | |
• | Expected Term: Due to the limited exercise history of the Company’s stock options, the Company determined the expected term based on the stratification of employee groups and the expected effect of events that have indications on future exercise activity. Expected life for options granted to employees uses the Simplified Method, while option granted to non-employees uses an expected term equal to the life of the contract. | |
• | Expected Dividend Rate: The Company has not paid and does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the near future. | |
The fair value of each option award was estimated on the grant date using the Black Scholes option-pricing model and expensed under the straight line method. The following assumptions were used:
2012 | ||||
Exercise price | $ | 1.67 | ||
Expected stock price volatility | 77 | % | ||
Risk free rate of interest | 0.05 | % | ||
Expected life of options | 6.5 years |

Exhibit 99.2
SUMMARY OF UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The following summary unaudited pro forma combined financial data is intended to show how the Merger of Document Security Systems, Inc. (“DSS”, the “Company”) and Lexington Technology Group, Inc. n/k/a DSS Technology Management, Inc. (“Lexington”) (the “Merger”) might have affected historical financial statements if the Merger had been completed on January 1, 2012, for the purposes of the statements of operations, and June 30, 2013, for the purposes of the balance sheet, and was prepared based on the historical financial statements and results of operations reported by DSS and Lexington.
Background of Merger between Document Security Systems, Inc. and Lexington Technology Group
On July 1, 2013 (the “Closing Date”), DSSIP, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of DSS merged with and into Lexington, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the previously announced Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 1, 2012 (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”). Effective on July 1, 2013, as a result of the Merger, Lexington became a wholly-owned subsidiary of DSS. In connection with the Merger, the Company issued on the Closing Date, its securities to Lexington’s stockholders in exchange for the capital stock owned by Lexington’s stockholders, as follows (the “Merger Consideration”): (i) an aggregate of 16,558,387 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.02 per share (the “Common Stock”), which includes 240,559 shares of the Company’s common stock owned by Lexington prior to the merger that were exchanged for shares issuable to Lexington stockholders pursuant to the merger (the “Exchange Shares”); (ii) 7,100,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock to be held in escrow pursuant to an escrow agreement, dated July 1, 2013. Pursuant to the escrow agreement, the shares of the Company’s Common Stock deposited in the escrow account will be released to the holders if and when the closing price per share of the Company’s Common Stock exceeds $5.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends and similar events) for 40 trading days within a continuous 90 trading day period following the closing of the Merger. If within one year following the closing of the Merger, such threshold is not achieved, the shares of the Company’s Common Stock held in escrow shall be cancelled and returned to the treasury of the Company. The holders of the escrow shares will have voting rights with respect to the shares until such shares are released or retired after one year (the “Escrow Agreement”); (iii) warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 4,859,894 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, at an exercise price of $4.80 per share and expiring on July 1, 2018; and (iv) warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 3,432,170 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, at an exercise price of $0.02 per share and expiring on July 1, 2023 (the “$.02 Warrants”), to Lexington’s preferred stockholders that would beneficially own more than 9.99% of the shares of the Company’s Common Stock as a result of the Merger (the “Beneficial Ownership Condition”). In addition, the Company assumed options to purchase an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share, in exchange for 3,600,000 outstanding and unexercised stock options to purchase shares of Lexington’s common stock. In addition, the Company issued an aggregate of 786,678 shares of Common Stock to Palladium Capital Advisors, LLC as compensation for their services in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Of those shares issued to Palladium Capital Advisors, LLC, 400,000 are currently being held in escrow pursuant to the same terms and conditions as those set forth in the Escrow Agreement.
Accounting Treatment of the Merger
U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (hereafter — GAAP), require that for each business combination, one of the combining entities shall be identified as the acquirer, and the existence of a controlling financial interest shall be used to identify the acquirer in a business combination. In a business combination effected primarily by exchanging equity interests, the acquirer usually is the entity that issues its equity interests. However, it is sometimes not clear which party is the acquirer.
In accordance with FASB Topic ASC 805 “Business Combinations”, if a business combination has occurred, but it is not clear which of the combining entities is the acquirer, GAAP requires considering additional factors in making that determination. These factors include the relative voting rights of the combined entity after the business combination, the existence of a large minority voting interest in the combined entity, the composition of the governing body of the combined entity, the composition of senior management in the combined entity and the relative size of the combining entities.
Based on the aforementioned, and after taking in consideration all relevant facts and circumstances, management came to the conclusion that DSS, as the legal acquirer was also the accounting acquirer in the transaction. The conclusion was based on the determination that although, the former stockholders of Lexington had 51% of the voting interest in the combined company as of the closing date of the merger, the former stockholders of Lexington did not have clear indications of control when analyzed in the context of the other factors listed by FASB Topic ASC 805, such as the existence of a large minority voting interest, the composition of the governing body of the combined entity, the composition of senior management in the combined entity and the relative size of the combining entities. In addition, the ownership of the combined company by the former stockholders of Lexington could reduce to approximately 42% of the outstanding common stock of the combined company if, after one year, the shares held in escrow are cancelled because the conditions of the escrow agreement were not met. At the time of the Merger, management determined the likelihood of meeting the conditions in the escrow agreement to be remote.
As a result, the merger will be accounted for as a business combination in accordance with the Business Combination Topic of the FASB ASC 805. Under the guidance, the assets and liabilities of the acquired business, Lexington, are recorded at their fair value at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values is recorded as goodwill, if any. If the fair value of the assets acquired exceeds the purchase price and the liabilities assumed, then a gain on acquisition is recorded.
The summary unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2013 combines the historical balance sheets of DSS and Lexington as of June 30, 2013 and gives pro forma effect to the Merger as if it had been completed on June 30, 2013.
The summary unaudited pro forma statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2012 and for the six months ended June 30, 2013 gives pro forma effect to the Merger as if it had been completed on January 1, 2012.
The historical financial data has been adjusted to give pro forma effect to events that are (i) directly attributable to the Merger, (ii) factually supportable, and (iii) with respect to the statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results. The pro forma adjustments are preliminary and based on management’s estimates of the fair value and useful lives of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and have been prepared to illustrate the estimated effect of the acquisition and certain other adjustments.
The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements are presented for illustrative purposes only, and are not necessarily indicative of the financial condition or results of operations of future periods or the financial condition or results of operations that actually would have been realized had the entities been combined during the periods presented. In addition, the unaudited pro forma adjustments are based on management’s preliminary estimates of the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. As a result, the actual adjustments may differ materially from those presented in the unaudited pro forma statements.
Purchase Price Allocation
In accordance with the accounting treatment of the Merger as a business combination in accordance with the Business Combination Topic of the FASB ASC 805. Under the guidance, the assets and liabilities of the acquired business, Lexington, are recorded at their fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values is recorded as goodwill, if any. If the fair value of the assets acquired exceeds the purchase price and the liabilities assumed then a gain on acquisition is recorded. The purchase price is based on the fair value of the DSS common stock, DSS common stock to be held in escrow and issued if certain contingencies are met, warrants to purchase DSS common stock issued by DSS to Lexington stockholders, and replacement options awards related to pre-combination services granted to certain Lexington employees pursuant to the Merger agreement. The Company measured the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the acquisition date fair value. The fair value of the equity instruments issued to former stockholders of Lexington is based on a $1.87 share price of DSS common stock which was the closing share price of DSS’s stock on July 1, 2013 on the date of the Merger. For warrants and employee options to purchase DSS common stock issued or assumed as consideration in the Merger, the Company used the Black Scholes Merton option pricing model to determine fair values, with terms set at the remaining life of the option or warrant, a volatility of approximately 59%, and a risk free rate of return of approximately 0.9% with zero forfeitures expected. For the DSS common stock to be held in escrow, the Company used a Monte Carlo simulation model to determine an average expected fair value. While DSS uses its best estimates and assumptions as part of the purchase price allocation process to value the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the purchase price allocation is preliminary and could change during the measurement period (not to exceed one year) if new information is obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed as of the Merger date that, if known, would have resulted in the recognition of additional or changes to the value of the assets and liabilities presented in this pro forma purchase price allocation.

This pro forma adjustment represents the additional amortization expense that will result from the intangible assets acquired from Lexington, which include patent assets. Management is responsible for determining the fair value of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the Acquisition Date. Management considered a number of factors, including reference to an analysis under FASB ASC 805 solely for the purpose of allocating the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The analysis included a discounted cash flow which estimated future net cash flows resulting from the licensing and enforcement of the patent portfolio based on information as of the date of acquisition, considering assumptions and estimates related to potential infringers of the patents, applicable industries, usage of the underlying patented technologies, estimated license fee revenues, contingent legal fee arrangements, other estimated costs, tax implications and other factors. A discount rate consistent with the risks associated with achieving the estimated net cash flows was used to estimate the present value of estimated net cash flows. Amounts attributable to the patents acquired are being amortized using the straight-line method over an estimated weighted average economic useful life of the underlying patents, which is estimated to be approximately 7.5 years. | |
6. | This pro forma adjustment represents the amount of investment in DSS held by Lexington that were exchanged by Lexington for shares of DSS common stock and distributed to the former stockholders of Lexington at the time of the Merger. | |
7. | Estimated deferred tax benefit which resulted directly from the transaction is a result of the release of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance and not included in pro forma consolidated statement of operations. The deferred tax liability resulting from the increase in basis of the Lexington tangible and intangible assets, excluding goodwill, for book purposes but not for tax purposes was calculated using a 38% effective tax rate. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the impact on the acquiring company's deferred tax assets is recorded outside of acquisition accounting. Accordingly, the valuation allowance on the Company’s deferred tax assets will be released to offset the increase in deferred tax liability and result in an estimated financial statement income tax benefit of approximately $12.1 million which will be recorded in the statement of operations for the three and nine month period ending September 30, 2013. | |
The unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations for the periods presented herein have been adjusted to give effect to pro forma events that are expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results. As such, the estimated income tax benefit related to the estimated release of valuation allowance expected to be reflected in the statement of operations for the third quarter of 2013 is not reflected in the accompanying unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and the year ended December 31, 2012. |
