State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

ImageWare Systems, Inc. (the "Company") was unable to compile certain information required to prepare a complete filing. As a result, the Company will be unable to file the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 in a timely manner without unreasonable effort or expense. The Company expects to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q on or before November 17, 2014.

Persons who are to respond to the collection of information contained in this form are not required to respond unless the form displays a currently valid OMB control number.

(2)	Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed?

	Yes[ x ]      No[   ]

	Yes[ x ]      No[   ]

If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made. Revenue received during the quarter ended September 30, 2014 was materially lower than the corresponding period for the last fiscal year, due, primarily, to the positive impact of non-recurring revenue received from one customer in the 2013 period.
