Corporate History and Overview

SmartMetric was incorporated pursuant to the laws of Nevada on December 18, 2002.  SmartMetric is a development stage company engaged in the technology industry. SmartMetric has a license to utilize proprietary technology to manufacture and sell a fingerprint sensor activated card with a finger sensor on the board card and a built-in rechargeable battery for portable biometric identification. This card may be referred to as a "biometric card" or the SmartMetric "Biometric Smartcard."

On September 14, 2004, Mr. Hendrick received a United States patent with regard to the use of the Biometric card. Mr. Hendrick transferred the patent, which was then pending, to Applied Cryptography, Inc., a Nevada corporation, owned by Mr. Hendrick, in June 2004. On August 1, 2004, Applied Cryptography, Inc. entered into a license agreement with SmartMetric pursuant to which SmartMetric has the right to use, manufacture and sell products utilizing the patented technology in perpetuity. This patent was granted on September 14, 2004.

As of June 30, 2010, SmartMetric had a total stockholders' deficiency of $857,926, and cash of $0.  SmartMetric has no off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on SmartMetric's financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

The SmartMetric Biometric Card

SmartMetric has designed a biometric card utilizing patented technology licensed to the company.  A prototype of this card was completed in February 2005. The company is in the process of finalizing its biometric card and expects to have a final product by January 2011.  The product, due to exposure in specialty trade publications and numerous press releases, is receiving much interest in the private sector, especially amongst banking entities.  Also, the product has received interest from the governmental sector, including, but not limited to the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Defense.

SmartMetric believes that its biometric card will have several functions:

·  
The fingerprint sensor will facilitate instant authorization verification;

·  
In card biometric measurement storage will safeguard personal information;

·  
In card biometric storage will permit access, identity and transaction control verification;

·  
Instant identity verification will be secure since such information is contained in the card and not in centralized database
 
The SmartMetric Biometric Smartcard is a credit card size plastic card.  On the cards surface are two components.  The first is a standard Smartcard chip that is a standard interface that connects to USB computer smartcard readers, ATM machines and smartcard able Point Of Sale machines in retail outlets.  The second component is a sensor that protrudes through the cards surface.  This sensor is connected to a sophisticated miniature circuit board that allows the sensor to read a person’s fingerprint and match it with the user’s pre-stored fingerprint encrypted and resident inside the circuit board.

The challenge SmartMetric sought to overcome was having a truly portable Identification credential that incorporated biometrics and yet was the standard size of an employee ID Card or Drivers License.  As it stood standard biometric fingerprint scanners were too large to fit inside a credit card sized card and none were portable needing to be attached to a computer that powered the scanning process thereby not allowing for true portability.   In order to achieve the goal of Biometric portability in the form factor to fit inside a users wallet or purse and work across both computer and banking platforms SmartMetric had to achieve incredible reductions in electronics and develop specialized manufacturing techniques.  The miniaturization to all intents and purposes of a laptop computer circuit board to the size that fits inside a credit card has taken years of research and development.

The SmartMetric Biometric Smartcard contains over 150 active and passive components mounted onto a paper-thin circuit board.  Reducing a powerful ARM processor to a thin sliver of silicon along with many other complex computer components including memory chips and then mounting them on the super thin board has required innovations in electronic manufacturing and the use of Nano technology.

Today SmartMetric has created the World’s first and to its knowledge the only portable biometric fingerprint scanner that resides inside a credit card sized card and acts independently of any other computing device.

Unlike a picture-based identification system, the SmartMetric biometric card has been designed to operate exclusively with the registered user. And unlike biometric security systems where the biometric information is stored at a central location, the Company believes that security cannot be compromised during the verification process since the biometric information is embedded in the card itself, in a memory chip protected by encryption and no data is travelling over a network.  The built-in fingerprint scanner is designed to activate the card. Without a match with the encrypted fingerprint already stored on the card, the Biometric Smartcard will not operate.

In the case of an employee Identity Card application when a match occurs on the card a green light lights up, if no match then a red light is activated on the cards surface.

SmartMetric believes its Biometric Smartcard may be used for a variety of security applications such as airport employee access and identity, building access and identity, computer network access, drivers licenses, passports, and check cashing identity verification, etc.  Additionally, the Biometric Smartcard contains a powerful on-card ARM Processor and up to 1 gigabyte of encrypted memory, enabling the Biometric Smartcard to not only store the full image of a fingerprint but also maintain a database capable of storing information such as medical records, financial or banking records or human resource data.

As an online purchasing card, the Biometric Smartcard helps protect against identity theft and related fraudulent crimes that consumers can be exposed to when making purchases over the internet.  Unlike conventional credit cards, which require a consumer to type and deliver sensitive information over the internet in order to make a purchase, the Biometric Smartcard is designed to be inserted into the USB port of a computer and any purchasing information can only be released from the card when the owner’s fingerprint unlocks the card.  The consumer’s information then travels across the internet encrypted, minimizing exposure to interception by hackers and Identity Thieves.

As an online money transfer card, the company has developed software and systems to allow money to be transferred from one card to another over the internet with user confirmation of transaction by both sender and receiver.  Much as in the same way that digital files are transferred in a process called Peer to Peer transfer.  Because fingerprint activation is required at both ends of the transaction the sending and receiving party’s can be confident that only the appropriate person is receiving the funds.  This allows the low cost of internet communication to now be used for person to person money transfer.

SmartMetric believes that its biometric card, by way of containing information unique to the individual user, will be useless in the hands of others. Unlike a picture-based identification system, the SmartMetric biometric card has been designed to operate exclusively with the registered user. And unlike biometric security systems where the biometric information is stored at a central location, we believe that confirmation of identify with the SmartMetric system may not be interrupted during the verification process or while it is stored at the remote location since the biometric information is embedded in the card, itself, in a memory chip protected by encryption. The fingerprint sensor built into the card has been designed to activate the card. Without a match with the encrypted fingerprint already stored on the card, the biometric card will not operate.

The SmartMetric biometric card is a card that authorized persons will carry with them and activate to obtain access. Such activation will take place by placing a finger on a fingerprint sensor. The SmartMetric biometric cards are designed to be read by both contact and contactless card acceptor devices. For contact card acceptor devices, the device must touch a chip mounted on the surface of the Biometric card. This contact allows the card to transmit data to the reading device. For contactless acceptor devices, a radio frequency signal will be sent from the card to a radio frequency signal receiver in the acceptor device. In both types of acceptor devices, the activation signal is sent only when there has been a positive match of fingerprint by fingerprint sensor. The card acceptor devices are available from several different third parties and do not require any licenses.

The company expects that the memory and computational capacities of the biometric card will be used to store a template of each user's fingerprint(s). The memory capacity will store a template of a user's fingerprint(s). The computational capacity will be used to process a digitized image from the fingerprint sensor to confirm a match (or no match) with the fingerprint template. Additional computational processes such as increased Cryptography will depend on the requirements of specific customers.

SmartMetric believes its biometric card may be used for a variety of security applications such as airport employed access and identity, building access and identity, computer network access, drivers licenses, passports and check cashing identity verification.

Fingerprint Sensor

The fingerprint sensor used in the SmartMetric biometric card is known as the "Metric 60" fingerprint sensor. The Metric 60 allows for fingerprints which are either wet or dry to be recognized or authenticated. It is also pressure sensitive. SmartMetric purchases the fingerprint sensor from an unrelated third party, but has no signed agreement with such party. The fingerprint sensor is available from other suppliers. SmartMetric has designed a method of integrating the fingerprint sensor on the card, which is then connected to a microprocessor, which is connected to a rechargeable power supply in the card and a memory chip for storage, retrieval and matching of the fingerprint on the card.

The SmartMetric biometric card has been designed to utilize a rechargeable, lithium polymer battery. Because this battery is available in a variety of shapes and sizes, SmartMetric can design its cards in similar variety of shapes. This lithium polymer battery is owned and manufactured by a third party unaffiliated with SmartMetric. This battery will be integrated into the card. SmartMetric has located a supplier for this battery and has purchased battery’s that meet the requirements and specifications of the Biometric Card.

While SmartMetric has already purchased these batteries, other raw materials which are part of the product have been purchased as well.  Examples include, but are not limited to, microchips, memory chips and processor chips.  The sources and availability of these materials are numerous and readily available, and should not affect the ability of SmartMetric to meet future demand.

The SmartMetric card has been designed to meet the International Standard Organization 7816 Flex requirements so that it will not break or crack when bent or flexed. The prototype card has been designed to meet ISO requirements for crush test, drop test and nail test. It has been designed to operate in a wide range of temperatures.

The Biometric card has been designed to offer the option of a built-in radio frequency transmitter for contactless entry and identity verification.

The Security Technology Industry

 Biometrics

Biometric technologies identify users by electronically capturing a specific biological or behavioral characteristic of that individual, such as a fingerprint or voice or facial feature, and creating a unique digital identifier from that characteristic. Because this process relies on largely unalterable human characteristics, positive identification can be achieved independent of any information possessed by the individual seeking authorization.

The process of identity authentication typically requires that a person present for comparison one or more of the following factors:

·  
Something known such as a password, PIN or mother's maiden name;

·  
Something carried such as a token, card, or key; or

·  
Something physical such as fingerprint, voice pattern, signature motion, facial shape or other biological or behavioral characteristic.
 
Comparison of biological and behavioral characteristics has historically been the most reliable and accurate of the three factors, but has also been the most difficult and costly to implement into a single product that can automatically verify the identity of a user accessing a computer network or the Internet. However, recent advances in biometric collection technologies (both biometric hardware products and their associated processing software) have increased the speed and accuracy and reduced the cost of implementing biometrics in commercial environments. Management believes that individuals, Web site operators, government organizations, and businesses will increasingly use this method of identity authentication.

Biometrics refers to the automatic identification of a person based on his/her physiological or behavioral characteristics. This method of identification is preferred over traditional methods involving passwords and personal identification numbers ("PINs") for various reasons: (i) the person to be identified is required to be physically present at the point of identification to be identification; (ii) identification based on biometric techniques obviates the need to remember a password or carry a token. By replacing PINs, biometric techniques can potentially prevent unauthorized access to or fraudulent use of cellular phones, Biometric cards, desktop PCs, workstations and computer networks. It can be used during transactions conducted via telephone and Internet (e-commerce and e-banking). In automobiles, biometrics could replace keys-less entry devices.

PINs and passwords may be forgotten, and token-based methods of identification, e.g., passports and driver's licenses, may be forged, stolen or lost. Various types of biometric systems are being used for real-time identification, with the most popular based on face recognition and fingerprint matching. Other biometric systems utilize iris and retinal scanning, speech, facial thermograms and hand geometry.

A biometric system is essentially a pattern recognition system, which makes a personal identification by determining the authenticity of a specific physiological or behavioral characteristic possessed by the user. An important issue in designing a practical system is to determine how an individual is identified.

There are two different ways to resolve a person's identity: verification and identification. Verification (Am I whom I claim I am?) involves confirming or denying a person's claimed identity. In identification, one has to establish a person's identity (Who am I?).

The SmartMetric biometric card has been designed as a credit-card sized plastic card embedded with an integrated circuit chip and biometric fingerprint sensor. While we have completed a prototype of this card, we are in the process of completing the final product. The SmartMetric card has been designed to provide not only memory capacity, but also computational capability along with secure non-refutable identification of the user. We believe that the self-containment of SmartMetric's card will make it substantially resistant to attack, as it will not need to depend upon potentially vulnerable external resources. Because of this characteristic, we expect that the SmartMetric biometric card may be used in different applications which require strong security protection and authentication.

The physical structure of a card is specified by the International Standards Organization ("ISO") 7810, 7816/1 and 7816/2. Generally, it is made up of three elements. The plastic card is the most basic one and has the dimensions of 85.60mm x 53.98 x 0.80mm. A printed circuit and an integrated circuit chip are embedded on the card.

The SmartMetric card has been designed so that the printed circuit conforms to ISO standard 7816/3 which provides five connection points for power and data. It will be hermetically fixed in the recess provided for the card and will be burned onto the circuit chip, filled with a conductive material and sealed with contracts protruding. The printed circuit is a part of, and not distinct from, the Biometric card. The printed circuit is intended to protect the circuit chip from mechanical stress and static electricity. Communication with the chip will be accomplished through contacts that overlay the printed circuit. The integrated circuit chip defines the capability of a smart chip. Typically, an integrated circuit chip consists of a microprocessor, read only memory (ROM), non-static random access memory and electrically erasable programmable read only memory which will retain its state when the power is removed. The current circuit chip is made from silicon, which is not flexible and particularly easy to break. In order to avoid breakage when the card is bent, the chip is restricted to only a few millimeters in size.

Furthermore, it is our intent that the physical interface which allows data exchange between the integrated circuit chip and the card acceptor device will be limited to 9600 bits per second. The communication line is intended to be a bi-directional serial transmission line, which conforms to ISO standard 7816/3. We intend that all the data exchanges will be under the control of the central processing unit in the integrated circuit chip. Card commands and input data will be sent to the chip that responds with status words and output data upon the receipt of these commands and data. Information will be sent in half duplex mode (transmission of data is in one direction at a time). This protocol, together with the restriction of the bit rate, is designed to prevent massive data attack on the card.

In general, the size, the thickness and bend requirements for the biometric card were designed to protect the card from being spoiled physically. However, this also limits the memory and processing resources that may be placed on the card. In the past, industry participants have encountered particular difficulty in attempting to integrate high memory chips and finger sensor technology that will withstand both the size constraints and physical daily usage such as bending in a user's wallet sitting in his back pocket. We believe our biometric card has met and overcome the physical demands of the credit card to produce what is a powerful on-card computer processor with state-of-the-art biometric technology. However, we believe that additional engineering is necessary to reduce the size to the circuitry of the card prototype. We expect that such re-engineering will be complete by January 2011.

Sales and Marketing

When we have completed the prototype of our biometric card and received any required regulatory approval, we plan to market and sell our product to banking interests in the private sector and governmental agencies such as the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Defense.  As noted previously, we have received interest in the product from the aforementioned.

We do not currently have a marketing or sales force or a distribution arrangement in place.  We will need to expend resources to develop our own marketing and sales force or enter into third-party distribution arrangements.

Manufacturing

We will contract outside silicon and component fabrication plants to manufacture specific components to its specifications.   Assembly and creation of the sub-micro circuit boards are outsourced to different vendors.   The final card assembly will be undertaken by us.   We intend to purchase manufacturing equipment to facilitate the mass production of a minimum of 1 million cards a month.    For business strategic reasons and to save on labor and overhead costs the company plans to establish its mass manufacturing plant in Argentina.   

Intellectual Property

We rely on patents, licenses, trade secrets, trademarks, copyright registrations and non-disclosure agreements to establish and protect our proprietary rights in our technologies and products.

Competition

SmartMetric is a company involved in identity management. This industry is dominated by several large international corporations such as BioNetrix, Keyware, Gemplus and Precise Biometrics, all of which manufacture and/or distribute and market identity management products. These companies and many others are more established than SmartMetric, which will put it at a competitive disadvantage. For example, Precise Biometrics, a company whose stock is listed on the Stockholm Stock Exchange, sells products which utilize its patented biometric fingerprint authentication technology which allows it to isolate the characteristic features of a human fingerprint and to match such features with a stored template to secure identity. However, Precise Biometrics is publicly traded and better funded then SmartMetric, and thus better known. SmartMetric's licensed patent allows for such data to be stored on a credit card sized device; however, SmartMetric only has a prototype of its biometric card.

BioNetrix offers a solution for systems security - user authentication and sign on. This company was founded in 1997.

Keyware was founded in 1996 and went public in 2000 and is headquartered in Brussels, Belgium.  While Keyware’s primary business model is transaction processing, they maintain a significant platform in identity tracking technology and maintain a competitive advantage through high capitalization.

Gemplus manufactures a powerful, yet user friendly software focusing on bar-code technology.  Gemplus incorporates identity verification tools within  their software.  Gemplus maintains a large internet presence and their software is easily downloadable, making them a market force.

SmartMetric is a newcomer to this industry, with no proven track record and an untested product. We are not as well known as our potential competitors, nor are we certain our card will work as intended or that it will meet clients' needs. We are at a competitive disadvantage when compared to those better known, better funded and experienced identity management companies. SmartMetric will be competing with these as well as smaller and mid-size identity management manufactures, distributors, and developers.

Employees

As of the date of this annual report, SmartMetric has two full time employees including Colin Hendrick, SmartMetric’s CEO, and no part-time employees. None of these employees belongs to any union.

Government Regulation

There are currently no governmental regulations which have any bearing on the raw materials or the manufacturing of our product.

 
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
 
Our independent auditors have expressed doubt about our ability to continue our activities as a going concern, which may hinder our ability to obtain future financing.

Since we have been focused on developing our propriety technology for availability of commercialization, we have suffered recurring losses from operations. The continuation of our Company as a going concern is dependent upon our Company attaining and maintaining profitable operations and raising additional capital. The financial statements do not include any adjustment relating to the recovery and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should our Company discontinue operations.

Due to the uncertainty of our ability to meet our current operating expenses, in their report on the annual financial statements for the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, our independent registered accounting firm included an explanatory paragraph regarding the doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the status of the Company.

The continuation of our business is dependent upon us raising additional financial support. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant/substantial dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments. If the Company should fail to continue as a going concern, you may lose the value of your investment in the Company.

We have a limited operating history upon which to base an investment decision.
 
We were formed in December 2002 but have a limited operating history as a company. As a result, there is very limited historical performance upon which to evaluate our prospects for achieving our business objectives. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, difficulties and uncertainties frequently encountered by development stage entities.

To date, we have generated only losses, which are expected to continue for the foreseeable future.
 
For the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, we incurred a net loss of $1,611,652 and $1,103,089, respectively.  We may not be able to achieve expected results, including any guidance or outlook it may provide from time to time. We may continue to incur losses and may be unable to achieve or maintain profitability. We cannot assure you that our net losses and negative cash flow will not accelerate and surpass our expectations nor can we assure you that we will ever generate any net income or positive cash flow.

Our business depends upon our ability to keep pace with the latest technological changes, and our failure to do so could make us less competitive in our industry.
 
The market for our services is characterized by rapid change and technological improvements. Failure to respond in a timely and cost-effective way to these technological developments may result in serious harm to our business and operating results. As a result, our success will depend, in part, on our ability to develop and market service offerings that respond in a timely manner to the technological advances of available to our customers, evolving industry standards and changing preferences.

Our key personnel and directors are critical to our business, and such key personnel may not remain with our company in the future.
 
We depend on the continued employment of its senior executive officers and other key management and technical personnel. If any of its key personnel were to leave and not be replaced with sufficiently qualified and experienced personnel, our business could be adversely affected. In particular, our current strategy to penetrate the market for contactless logical access identification and transaction solutions is heavily dependent on the vision, leadership and experience of its chief executive officer, Colin Hendrick.

Our continued success will depend, to a significant extent, upon the performance and contributions of our senior management and upon our ability to attract, motivate and retain highly qualified management personnel and employees. We depend on our key senior management to effective manage our business in a highly competitive environment. If one or more of our key officers join a competitor or form a competing company, we may experience interruptions in product development, delays in bringing products to market, difficulties in our relationships with customers and loss of additional personnel, which could significantly harm our business, financial condition, operating results and projected growth.

Rapid technological changes could make our service less attractive.
 
The smart card, biometric identification and personal identification industries are characterized by rapid technological change, frequent new product innovations, changes in customer requirements and expectations and evolving industry standards. If we are unable to keep pace with these changes, our business may be harmed. Products using new technologies, or emerging industry standards, could make our technologies less attractive. If addition, we may face unforeseen problems when developing our products, which could harm our business. Furthermore, our competitors may have access to technologies not available to us, which may enable them to produce products of greater interest to consumers or at a more competitive cost.

Consumer avoidance of software which collect, store or use personally-identifiable data could adversely affect our business.
 
Consumer sentiment regarding privacy issues is constantly evolving. Such consumer sentiment may affect the buying public’s interest in our current or future service offerings. If some areas, consumer groups and individual consumers have already begun to vigorously lobby against, or otherwise express significant concern over, the collection, storage and/or use of personally-identifiable information. In addition, there has been an effort to impede the collection of fingerprinting as a way to identify individuals; however, we do not see this as a barrier to our technology. Accordingly, privacy concerns of consumers may influence certain industry sectors from collecting digital biometric information on a person as well as putting biometric and biographical data on a smart card forcing some industries to refrain from offering products or using products that could harm the biometric personal identification industry. Moreover, strong consumer attitudes often precipitate new regulations like the ones described above. If we fail to successfully monitor and consider the privacy concerns of consumers, our business and prospectus could be harmed.

If we are not able to adequately protect our intellectual property, we may not be able to compete effectively.
 
Our ability to compete depends in part upon the strength of our proprietary rights in our technologies, brands and content. We have relied on a combination of U.S. and foreign patents, copyrights, trademark, trade secret laws and license agreements to establish and protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights through the years. The efforts we have taken to protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights may not be sufficient or effective at stopping unauthorized use of our intellectual property and proprietary rights. In addition, effective trademark, patent, copyright and trade secret protection may not be available or cost-effective in every country in which our products are made available. There may be instances where we are not able to fully protect or utilize our intellectual property in a manner that maximizes competitive advantage. If we are unable to protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights from unauthorized use, the value of our products may be reduced, which could negatively impact our business. Our inability to obtain appropriate protections for our intellectual property may also allow competitors to enter our markets and produce or sell the same or similar products. In addition, protecting our intellectual property and other proprietary rights is expensive and diverts critical managerial resources. If any of the foregoing were to occur, or if we are otherwise unable to protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights, our business and financial results could be adversely affected.

If we are forced to resort to legal proceedings to enforce our intellectual property rights, the proceedings could be burdensome and expensive. In addition, our proprietary rights could be at risk if we are unsuccessful in, or cannot afford to pursue, those proceedings.

If we infringe on the rights of third parties, we may not be able to sell our products, and we may have to defend against litigation and pay damages.
 
If a third party were to assert that our products infringe on its patent or other intellectual property rights, we could incur substantial litigation costs and be forced to pay substantial damages. Third-party infringement claims, regardless of their outcome, would not only consume significant financial resources, but would also divert our management’s time and attention. Such claims could also cause our customers or potential customers to purchase competitors’ products or defer or limit their purchase or use of our affected products until resolution of the claim. If any of our products are found to violate third-party intellectual property rights, we may have to re-engineer one or more of our products, or we may have to obtain licenses from third parties to continue offering our products without substantial re-engineering. Our efforts to re-engineer or obtain licenses could require significant expenditures and may not be successful.

Sales of our products depend on the development of emerging applications in their target markets and on diversifying and expanding our customer base in new markets and geographic regions, and with new products.
 
Our intent is to market and sell our products primarily to the private sector while addressing emerging applications that have not yet reached a stage of mass adoption or deployment. The market for some of these solutions (electronic biometric fingerprinting) is at an early stage of deployment in the private sector compared to other forms of services that try to identify a person by their name and social security number. Additionally, we have a strategy of expanding sales of existing products into new geographic markets.  Our target market initially will begin in South America and Australia.

Disruption in the global financial markets may adversely impact the availability and cost of credit.
 
We may seek or need to raise additional funds. Our ability to obtain financing for general corporate and commercial purposes or acquisitions depends on operating and financial performance, and is also subject to prevailing economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors beyond our control. The global credit markets and the financial services industry have been experiencing a period of unprecedented turmoil characterized by the bankruptcy, failure or sale of various financial institutions. An unprecedented level of intervention from the U.S. and other governments has been seen. As a result of such disruption, our ability to raise capital may be severely restricted and the cost of raising capital through such markets or privately may increase significantly at a time when we would like, or need, to do so. Either of these events could have an impact on our flexibility to fund our business operations, make capital expenditures, pursue additional expansion or acquisition opportunities, or make another discretionary use of cash and could adversely impact our financial results.

Continuing disruption in the global financial markets may adversely impact customers and customer spending patterns.
 
Continuing disruption in the global financial markets as a result of the ongoing global financial uncertainty may cause consumers, businesses and governments to defer purchases in response to tighter credit, decreased cash availability and declining consumer confidence. Accordingly, demand for our products could decrease and differ materially from their current expectations. Further, some of our customers may require substantial financing in order to fund their operations and make purchases from us. The inability of these customers to obtain sufficient credit to finance purchases of our products and meet their payment obligations to us or possible insolvencies of our customers could result in decreased customer demand, an impaired ability for us to collect on outstanding accounts receivable, significant delays in accounts receivable payments, and significant write-offs of accounts receivable, each of which could adversely impact our financial results.

Failure to properly manage the implementation of customer projects in our business may result in costs or claims against us, and our financial results could be adversely affected.
 
In our business, deployments of our solution often involve large-scale projects. The quality of our performance on such projects depends in large part upon our ability to manage relationships with customers and to effectively manage the implementation of solutions in such projects and to deploy appropriate resources, including its own project managers and third party subcontractors, in a timely manner. Any defects or errors or failures to meet clients’ expectations could result in damage to our reputation or even claims for substantial monetary damages.  Moreover, a portion of our revenues are derived from fixed price contracts. Changes in the actual and estimated costs and time to complete fixed-price, time-certain projects may result in revenue adjustments for contracts where revenue is recognized under the percentage of completion method. Finally, if we miscalculate the amount of resources or time we need to complete a project for which it has agreed to capped or fixed fees, our financial results could be adversely affected.

Our products may have defects, which could damage our reputation, decrease market acceptance of our products, cause us to lose customers and revenue and result in costly litigation or liability.
 
Our products, such as digital fingerprint devices, may contain defects for many reasons, including defective design or manufacture, defective material or software interoperability issues. Products as complex as those we offer, frequently develop or contain undetected defects or errors. Despite testing defects or errors may arise in our existing or new products, which could result in loss of revenue, market share, failure to achieve market acceptance, diversion of development resources, injury to our reputation, and increased service and maintenance cost. Defects or errors in our products and solutions might discourage customers from purchasing future products and. Often, these defects are not detected until after the products have been shipped. If any of our products contain defects or perceived defects or have reliability, quality or compatibility problems or perceived problems, our reputation might be damaged significantly, we could lose or experience a delay in market acceptance of the affected product or products and might be unable to retain existing customers or attract new customers. In addition, these defects could interrupt or delay sales. In the event of an actual or perceived defect or other problem, we may need to invest significant capital, technical, managerial and other resources to investigate and correct the potential defect or problem and potentially divert these resources from other development efforts. If we are unable to provide a solution to the potential defect or problem that is acceptable to its customers, we may be required to incur substantial product recall, repair and replacement and even litigation costs. These costs could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.

We will provide warranties on certain product sales and allowances for estimated warranty costs are recorded during the period of sale. The determination of such allowances requires us to make estimates of product return rates and expected costs to repair or to replace the products under warranty. We currently establish warranty reserves based on historical warranty costs for each product line combined with liability estimates based on the prior twelve months’ sales activities. If actual return rates and/or repair and replacement costs differ significantly from our estimates, adjustments to recognize additional cost of sales may be required in future periods. In addition, because our customers rely on secure authentication and identification of a such cardholder to prevent unauthorized access to programs, PC’s, networks, or facilities, a malfunction of or design defect in its products (or even a perceived defect) could result in legal or warranty claims against us for damages resulting from security breaches. If such claims are adversely decided against us, the potential liability could be substantial and have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results. Furthermore, the possible publicity associated with any such claim, whether or not decided against us, could adversely affect our reputation. In addition, a well-publicized security breach involving smart card-based or other security systems could adversely affect the market’s perception of products like ours in general, or our products in particular, regardless of whether the breach is actual or attributable to our products. Any of the foregoing events could cause demand for our products to decline, which would cause its business and operating results to suffer.

We have a limited number of suppliers of key components, and may experience difficulties in obtaining components for which there is significant demand.

 
9

 

We rely upon a limited number of suppliers for some key components of our products. Our reliance on a limited number of suppliers may expose us to various risks including, without limitation, an inadequate supply of components, price increases, late deliveries and poor component quality. In addition, some of the basic components we use in our products, such as biometric fingerprint devices and various smart card technologies may at any time be in great demand. This could result in components not being available to us in a timely manner or at all, particularly if larger companies have ordered more significant volumes of those components, or in higher prices being charged for components. Disruption or termination of the supply of components or software used in our products could delay shipments of these products. These delays could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results and could also damage relationships with current and prospective customers.
 
Difficulties in staffing;
Adequate resources of qualified technicians, engineers/assemblers, and programmers;
Potentially adverse tax consequences;
Unexpected changes in regulatory requirements;
Tariffs and other trade barriers;
export controls;
Political and economic instability;
Lack of control over the manufacturing process and ultimately over the quality of our products;
late delivery of our products, whether because of limited access to product components, transportation delays andinterruptions, difficulties in staffing, or disruptions such as natural disasters;
Capacity limitations of our manufacturers, particularly in the context of new large contracts for its products, whetherbecause its manufacturers lack the required capacity or are unwilling to produce the quantities we desire; and
Obsolescence of our hardware products at the end of the manufacturing cycle.

As of October 12, 2010, we had approximately 869 shareholders of record of our common stock, including the shares held in street name by brokerage firms. The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders.  Holders of the common stock have no preemptive rights and no right to convert their common stock into any other securities. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock.

Dividends

Any payment of dividends will be within the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors and will depend, among other factors, on earnings, capital requirements and the operating and financial condition of the Company. At the present time, the Company's anticipated financial capital requirements are such that it intends to follow a policy of retaining earnings in order to finance the development of its business.

Securities authorized for issuance under equity compensation plans

As of the date of this report, we do not have any securities authorized for issuance under any equity compensation plans and we do not have any equity compensation plans.
  
Penny Stock Regulations

Our shares of common stock are subject to the "penny stock" rules of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and various rules under this Act. In general terms, "penny stock" is defined as any equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. The rules provide that any equity security is considered to be a penny stock unless that security is registered and traded on a national securities exchange meeting specified criteria set by the SEC, issued by a registered investment company, and excluded from the definition on the basis of price (at least $5.00 per share), or based on the issuer's net tangible assets or revenues. In the last case, the issuer's net tangible assets must exceed $3,000,000 if in continuous operation for at least three years or $5,000,000 if in operation for less than three years, or the issuer's average revenues for each of the past three years must exceed $6,000,000.

Trading in shares of penny stock is subject to additional sales practice requirements for broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. Accredited investors, in general, include individuals with assets in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 (or $300,000 together with their spouse), and certain institutional investors. For transactions covered by these rules, broker-dealers must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of the security and must have received the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, the rules require the delivery, prior to the first transaction, of a risk disclosure document relating to the penny stock. A broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, and current quotations for the security. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stocks. These rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to trade or maintain a market in our common stock, to the extent it is penny stock, and may affect the ability of shareholders to sell their shares.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
 
The following summarizes the securities that we sold during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 without registering the securities under the Securities Act:

In the three months ended September 30, 2009, the Company sold 9,720 Units (representing 1,944,000 shares of common stock and 486,000 warrants) at a price of $10.00 per Unit in private placements resulting in net proceeds of $96,875.  Each Unit consists of 200 shares of common stock and 50 warrants exercisable for 12 months from the date of issue into one share of common stock at $0.50 per share.

In the three months ended December 31, 2009, the Company sold 8,050 Units (representing 1,610,000 shares of common stock and 402,500 warrants) at a price of $10.00 per Unit in private placements resulting in net proceeds of $80,375.  Each Unit consists of 200 shares of common stock and 50 warrants exercisable for 12 months from the date of issue into one share of common stock at $0.50 per share. These Units represent a total of 1,944,000 shares of common stock and 486,000 warrants.

In the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company sold 14,650 Units (representing 2,930,000 shares of common stock and 732,500 warrants) at a price of $10.00 per Unit in private placements resulting in net proceeds of $146,205.  Each Unit consists of 200 shares of common stock and 50 warrants exercisable for 12 months from the date of issue into one share of common stock at $0.50 per share.

In the three months ended June 30, 2010, the Company sold 12,375 Units (representing 2,475,000 shares of common stock and 618,750 warrants) at a price of $10.00 per Unit in private placements resulting in net proceeds of $123,295.  Each Unit consists of 200 shares of common stock and 50 warrants exercisable for 12 months from the date of issue into one share of common stock at $0.50 per share.

Unless otherwise noted in this section, with respect to the sale of unregistered securities referenced above, all transactions were exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and Regulation D or Regulation S promulgated under the 1933 Act. In each instance, the purchaser had access to sufficient information regarding SmartMetric so as to make an informed investment decision. More specifically, we had a reasonable basis to believe that each purchaser was an "accredited investor" as defined in Regulation D or Regulation S of the 1933 Act and otherwise had the requisite sophistication to make an investment in SmartMetric's securities.

Item 7.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
The following discussion of the financial condition and results of operation of the Company for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 should be read in conjunction with the selected financial data, the financial statements and the notes to those statements that are included elsewhere in this registration statement. Our discussion includes forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those set forth under the Risk Factors, Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Business sections in this registration statement. We use terms such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements.
 
General
 
Incorporated in 2002, SmartMetric and its founder and CEO, Colin Hendrick, have been engaged in research and development of a biometric security solution which would authenticate the identity of a person in a self-contained credit card-sized device. SmartMetric’s biometric card has been designed to use an on-board finger print sensor which is embedded in the card along with an integrated circuit chip which will provide one gigabyte of memory capacity. SmartMetric has recently completed a prototype of its card but has not yet begun to manufacture the biometric cards utilizing its licensed technology. To date, SmartMetric has had no sales revenues.
 
A prototype of our biometric card was completed in February 2005 and we have been adjusting and developing software for the card since that date.  The finished product will be the prototype or model for our biometric cards, which will be manufactured upon receipt of customer orders.   We are in the process of revising some of the engineering of the prototype so as to decrease the size of the circuitry contained in the card. We expect that the revised prototype will be completed by January 2011.

We expect to outsource manufacturing of our biometric cards once we have sales orders. We do not intend to purchase any plants or significant equipment.   Because SmartMetric does not own or rent a manufacturing facility, we will enter into a contract with a manufacturing facility to produce our biometric cards.  Although we have engaged in preliminary negotiations with two potential manufacturers, no contract has been signed.

Our ability to continue as a going concern is almost exclusively dependent upon our ability to raise capital, specifically through sales of unregistered securities.  The ability to raise capital through private placement sales is very unpredictable, thus greatly influencing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Loans from the Officer to the Company can sustain our operations in the event of a serious slowdown in capital funding, however we believe this to be a solution very short in scope, unable to sustain the Company for long periods of time.

 
12

 

 
We currently have two full time employees, including Colin Hendrick, our President and Chief Executive Officer. Once we have begun to generate sales, we intend to hire additional employees.
 
SmartMetric does not believe its business is seasonal in any way.
 
Results of Operations
 
Comparison of the Year Ended June 30, 2010 and 2009

Revenue and Net Income (Loss)

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, there were $0 sales revenues and a net loss of $1,611,652. For the year ended June 30, 2009, there were $0 sales revenues and a net loss of $1,103,089. This increased loss of $508,563 or 46.1% is the result of an increase in shares issued for services.
 
General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses for the year ended June 30, 2010 were $1,336,211, an increase of $659,022 or 97.3% compared to $677,189 for the comparable period in 2009. The increase was primarily attributable to shares issued for services.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses for the year ended June 30, 2010 were 87,348, a decrease of $163,088 or 65.1% compared to $250,436 for the comparable period in 2009. The decrease was primarily attributable to a slowdown in prototype development due to the transitioning to a new manufacturer.

Interest Expenses
 
There was $18,093 interest expense for the year ended June 30, 2010 compared to $5,464 for the comparable period in 2009, an increase of $12,629 or 231.1%.  The increase was primarily attributable to an increased outstanding balance of payroll taxes.

Income Tax Expenses

Income tax for the year ended June 30, 2010 was $0, unchanged from June 30, 2009.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
Our cash and cash equivalents were $42,519 at the beginning of the year ended June 30, 2010 and decreased to $0 by the end of such period, a decrease of $42,519 or 100%.  The decrease was attributable to the inconsistency in capital funding.
 
Net cash used in operating activities

Net cash used by operating activities was $502,835 for the year ended June 30, 2010, compared to $667,242 for the same period in 2009.  The difference was primarily due to increased general and administrative expenses.
 
Net cash used in investing activities
 
Net cash used in investing activities was $0 for the year ended June 30, 2010, unchanged from June 30, 2009.
 
Net cash provided by financing activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $460,316 for the year ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $443,344 from the same period ending June 30, 2009. The difference was primarily due to a related party loan from the Company’s C.E.O.

The company continues to be in the development stage.  Our ability to bear the costs associated towards bringing the product to market is highly dependent upon capital funding, which is unpredictable and sporadic.  Differences from year-to-year in various cost categories can vary from 0% to 250%.  The Company transition from one manufacturer to another caused a delay in development.  We expect the product to be in mass production prior to December 31, 2011, with an initial concentration on markets in South America and Australia.  These markets are most “product-friendly” due to their current banking regulations.  Eventually, we will market the product in the United States with an initial concentration on the United States government.

Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements.

There are currently no contractual obligations or off-balance sheet arrangements.

 Critical accounting policies and estimates
 
The financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made; however actual results could differ materially from those estimates (See Note 2 in the Notes to Financial Statements).
 
Item 7A.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Not Applicable.

Interest Rates.

Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our short-term investments; thus, fluctuations in interest rates would not have a material impact on the fair value of these investments. At October 11, 2010, we had approximately $61,627 in cash and cash equivalents.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


 
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
 
Smartmetric, Inc. and Subsidiary
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Smartmetric, Inc. and Subsidiary (a development stage company) (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2010, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the year ended June 30, 2010.  The consolidated financial statements for the period from inception (December 18, 2002) to June 30, 2009 were audited by other auditors whose reports included an explanatory paragraph that expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The consolidated financial statements for the period from inception (December 18, 2002) to June 30, 2009 include total revenues and net loss of $0 and $5,069,772, respectively.  Our opinion on the statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the period from inception (December 18, 2002) to June 30, 2009, insofar as it relates to amounts for prior periods through June 30, 2009, is based solely on the report of the other auditors.  The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.
 
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Smartmetric, Inc. and Subsidiary as of June 30, 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended June 30, 2010 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company is in process of developing its technology and has not generated any revenue to this point, however, has been successful in raising funds in their private placements. The lack of profitable operations and the need to continue to raise funds raise significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in this regard are described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
To the Directors of
Smartmetric, Inc. and Subsidiary

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Smartmetric, Inc. and Subsidiary (the "Company") (a development stage company) as of June 30, 2009, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the year ended June 30, 2009 and the statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the period December 18, 2002 (Inception) through June 30, 2009. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
 
We conducted our audit in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Smartmetric, Inc. and Subsidiary (a development stage company) as of June 30, 2009, and the results of its statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for year ended June 30, 2009 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company is in process of developing its technology and has not generated any revenue to this point, however, has been successful in raising funds in their private placements. The lack of profitable operations and the need to continue to raise funds raise significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in this regard are described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 1 -                       ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (CONTINUED)

Going Concern

As shown in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements the Company has incurred recurring losses of $1,611,652 and $1,103,089 for the year ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 respectively, and has incurred a cumulative loss of $6,681,424 since inception (December 18, 2002).  In addition, the Company has a working capital deficit in the amount of $857,926 as of June 30, 2010. The Company is currently in the development stage and has been spending a majority of its time in the development of their technology.

There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to raise enough capital or generate revenues to sustain its operations.  These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Management believes that the Company’s capital requirements will depend on many factors.  These factors include the final phase of development being successful as well as product implementation and distribution.

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the carrying amounts of recorded assets or the carrying amounts and classification of recorded liabilities that may be required should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.


NOTE 2 -                       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

                 Development Stage Company

The Company is considered to be in the development stage as defined in ASC 915-10, "Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises". The Company has devoted substantially all of its efforts to the development of their technology.  Additionally, the Company has allocated a substantial portion of its time and investment in bringing its services to the market, and the raising of capital.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, SmartMetric Australia Pty. Ltd.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

NOTE 2 -                       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including, but not limited to, those related to derivative liabilities, bad debts, income taxes and contingencies.  The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments and other short-term investments with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  Any amounts of cash in financial institutions over FDIC insured limits, exposes the Company to cash concentration risk.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, and accrued expenses including payroll withholdings, interest and penalties approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments.

Research and Development

The Company annually incurs costs on activities that relate to research and development of new technology and products.  Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Revenue Recognition

The Company has not recognized revenues to date.  The Company anticipates recognizing revenue in accordance with the contracts it enters into for the sale and distribution of the SmartCard.

Accounts Receivable

The Company will extend credit based on its evaluation of the customers’ financial condition, generally without requiring collateral.  Exposure to losses on receivables is expected to vary by customer due to the financial condition of each customer.  The Company will monitor exposure to credit losses and maintains allowances for anticipated losses considered necessary under the circumstances.  The Company has not recorded any receivables, and therefore no allowance for doubtful accounts at June 30, 2010.  Accounts receivable will generally be due within 30 days.

                 Uncertainty in Income Taxes

In July 2006, ASC 740-10 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” was issued (“ASC 740-10”).  This interpretation requires recognition and measurement of uncertain income tax positions using a “more-likely-than-not” approach.  ASC 740-10 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006.  Management has adopted ASC 740-10 for 2007, and they evaluate their tax positions on an annual basis and have determined that as of June 30, 2010 no additional accrual for income taxes is necessary.

Advertising Costs

The Company will expense the cost associated with advertising as incurred.  Advertising expense will be included in other general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

Equipment

Equipment is stated at cost.  Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets 3 - 5 years.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets, primarily fixed assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets might not be recoverable.  The Company does not perform a periodic assessment of assets for impairment in the absence of such information or indicators.  Conditions that would necessitate an impairment assessment include a significant decline in the observable market value of an asset, a significant change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used, or a significant adverse change that would indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets is not recoverable.  For long-lived assets to be held and used, the Company recognizes an impairment loss only if its carrying amount is not recoverable through its undiscounted cash flows and measures the impairment loss based on the difference between the carrying amount and estimated fair value.

(Loss) Per Share of Common Stock

Basic net (loss) per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  Diluted earnings per share ("EPS") include additional dilution from common stock equivalents, such as stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options and warrants.  There were 7,239,750 warrants outstanding at June 30, 2010 and 3,750,569 warrants outstanding at June 30, 2009 that were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as their effect was anti-dilutive.  The convertible preferred stock referred to in Note 6 was also excluded (10,000,000 shares on an as converted basis) from the computation of diluted net loss per share as its effect was anti-dilutive.
 
Stock-Based Compensation

In 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC 718-10, “Share-Based Payments” (“ASC 718-10”) .  ASC 718-10 requires that compensation cost related to share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements.  Share-based payment transactions within the scope of ASC 718-10 include stock options, restricted stock plans, performance-based awards, stock appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans.  The provisions of ASC 718-10 are effective for small business issuers beginning as of the next interim period after December 15, 2005.

NOTE 2 -                       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Stock-Based Compensation (Continued)

The Company has elected to use the modified-prospective approach method.  Under that transition method, the calculated expense in 2006 is equivalent to compensation expense for all awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of July 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair values.  Stock-based compensation expense for all awards granted after July 1, 2006 is based on the grant-date fair values. The Company recognizes these compensation costs, net of an estimated forfeiture rate, on a pro rata basis over the requisite service period of each vesting tranche of each award.  The Company considers voluntary termination behavior as well as trends of actual option forfeitures when estimating the forfeiture rate.

The Company measures compensation expense for its non-employee stock-based compensation under ASC 505-50, “Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services" (“ASC 505-50”).   The fair value of the option issued is used to measure the transaction, as this is more reliable than the fair value of the services received.  The fair value is measured at the value of the Company’s common stock on the date that the commitment for performance by the counterparty has been reached or the counterparty’s performance is complete.  The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense and additional paid-in capital.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2007, ASC issued 825-10, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an amendment of ASC 320-10” (“ASC 825-10”) which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value at specified election dates.  A business entity is required to report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date.  This statement is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement.  ASC 825-10 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years.

Effective July 1, 2009, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 105-10, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – Overall (“ASC 105-10”). ASC 105-10 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants. All guidance contained in the Codification carries an equal level of authority. The Codification superseded all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification is non-authoritative. The FASB will not issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Positions or Emerging Issue Task Force Abstracts. Instead, it will issue Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”). The FASB will not consider ASUs as authoritative in their own right. ASUs will serve only to update the Codification, provide background information about the guidance and provide the bases for conclusions on the change(s) in the Codification. References made to FASB guidance throughout this document have been updated for the Codification.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)

Effective July 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASU No. 2009-05, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures (Topic 820) (“ASU 2009-05”). ASU 2009-05 provided amendments to ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – Overall , for the fair value measurement of liabilities. ASU 2009-05 provides clarification that in circumstances in which a quoted market price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using certain techniques. ASU 2009-05 also clarifies that when estimating the fair value of a liability, a reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to other inputs relating to the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of a liability. ASU 2009-05 also clarifies that both a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability at the measurement date and the quoted price for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market when no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are required for Level 1 fair value measurements. Adoption of ASU 2009-05 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.

In January 2010, the Company adopted FASB ASU No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures (Topic 820)- Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements (“ASU 2010-06”). These standards require new disclosures on the amount and reason for transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 fair value measurements. The standards also require new disclosures of activities, including purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements within the Level 3 fair value measurements. The standard also clarifies existing disclosure requirements on levels of disaggregation and disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques. These new disclosures are effective beginning with the first interim filing in 2010. The disclosures about the rollforward of information in Level 3 are required for the Company with its first interim filing in 2011. The Company does not believe this standard will impact their financial statements.

In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-09, "Subsequent Events (Topic 855): Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements". This update addresses both the interaction of the requirements of Topic 855, "Subsequent Events", with the SEC’s reporting requirements and the intended breadth of the reissuance disclosures provision related to subsequent events (paragraph 855-10-50-4). The amendments in this update have the potential to change reporting by both private and public entities, however, the nature of the change may vary depending on facts and circumstances. Adoption of ASU 2010-09 did not have a material impact on the Company’s combined consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

Other ASU’s that have been issued or proposed by the FASB ASC that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements upon adoption.

NOTE 5 -                       COMMITMENTS

Patent License Agreement

Effective August 1, 2004, the Company executed a license agreement with Applied Cryptography, Inc. (“ACI”), a corporation controlled by the Company’s president and the owner of certain technology. Pursuant to the license agreement, the Company has the right to make use of this technology for the purpose of developing software and systems to be used by the Company to provide any or all of the following: 1) secure transactions over the Internet from home and office computers; 2) an automatic method for connecting to remote computers; 3) a method of developing targeted advertising to home and/or office computers; and 4) identity verification and access control as provided for in the patent. Pursuant to this license agreement, ACI will receive 2% of all revenues generated by the Company on products which utilize this patented technology. The license fee will be paid within 45 days of the end of each quarter. In the event no revenues are generated through the use of any of the licensed patents during a given quarter, no money shall be owed ACI for such quarter. ACI may rescind the license agreement and reclaim all rights and interest in the patents if certain events, such as the Company’s filing for bankruptcy protection or reorganization, occur. This license agreement will remain in effect for the lives of the patents. The Company may utilize the technological applications anywhere in the world without limitation.  Upon execution of the Assignment and Assumption Agreement on December 11, 2009 (see Note 6), the Patent License Agreement was terminated.

Employment Agreement

Effective July 1, 2004, the Company executed a one-year employment agreement with its president, which in June 2005 was renewed for one-year to June 30, 2006. Pursuant to the employment agreement, the president received an annual salary of $170,000. The employment agreement has not been renewed in writing however, the president continues to serve the Company and is being paid the same annual salary of $170,000.

Lease Agreement

The Company leases office space in Bay Harbor Islands, Florida under a month to month agreement at a monthly rental of $1,300 per month for the year ended June 30, 2010. Rent expense for the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $17,500 and $66,325 respectively.
 
                    Payroll Taxes
 
The Company has accrued the sum of $436,271 and $240,677 at June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, for payroll tax liability, inclusive of principal, interest and penalties.  This is the result of the Company’s inability to pay the federal withholding tax, Social Security withholding and Medicare withholding from its employees’ salaries.  

 
                Related Party Transactions

The president currently holds his shares in the Company through ACI.  ACI does not engage in any transactions with the Company.
 
Colin Hendrick, our C.E.O., made various loans to the Company totaling $19,916 during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, all of which remains outstanding at June 30, 2010.  This loan contains terms of repayment over one year at an interest rate of 5.00% per annum.  There is no formal agreement related to these loans.

The Company has accrued the amount of $82,424 as deferred Officer salary at June 30, 2010 for the difference between Colin Hendrick’s $170,000 per year contractual salary and the amount he was paid during the year.

NOTE 6 -                       STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (DEFICIT)

Preferred Stock

As of June 30, 2010, the Company has 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001, authorized and 200,000 shares issued and outstanding.

On December 11, 2009, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation with the State of Nevada, to designate 500,000 shares of the preferred stock to be designated as Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Convertible Preferred Stock”).

Each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock has a par value of $0.001, and a stated value equal to $5.00 (“Stated Value”). Holders of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to receive dividends or other distributions with the holders of the common stock of the Company on an as converted basis when, as, and if declared by the directors of the Company. Holders of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to convert all or any one (1) share of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock into fifty (50) shares of common stock.

Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary (“liquidation”), holders of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to receive out of the assets, whether capital or surplus, of the Company an amount equal to the Stated Value, pro rata with the holders of the common stock.

On December 11, 2009, the Company entered into an Assignment and Assumption Agreement with ACI (the “assignment and Assumption Agreement”). In accordance with the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, ACI conveys, assigns and transfers to the Company all of ACI’s rights, title and interest in and to the Patent (see Note 4) and delegates to the Company all of its duties and obligations to be performed under the Patent; and the Company hereby accepts the assignment of all of ACI’s rights, title and interest to the Patent and the rights and delegation of duties and obligations and agrees to be bound by and to assume such duties and obligations.

In consideration for the assignment of the Patent, the Company has issued 200,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. ACI may only convert these shares into common shares (in accordance with the conversion terms noted herein) upon delivering to the Company, a third party valuation of the assigned Patent conducted by a nationally qualified accounting firm or IP law firm mutually agreed upon between the Company and ACI, indicating that such Patent is valued at a minimum of $1,000,000.

In connection with the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the Company and ACI entered into an option agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to grant ACI an option to purchase the Patent from the Company for 100,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, only in the event that the Company fails to generate at least $1,000,000 in gross revenues attributable to the Patent at the conclusion of 24 months from the date of the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, December 11, 2011.

In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) topic 5G “Transfers of Non-monetary Assets by Promoters and Shareholders” the Company has determined that the Patent has no value at this point and has recorded the transaction to issue the 200,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock at $0.

NOTE 7 -                       PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

Deferred income taxes are determined using the liability method for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and income tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities.  Deferred income taxes are measured based on the tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences are included in the Company’s tax return.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on anticipated future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.

At June 30, 2010, deferred tax assets consist of the following:
 
Net operating losses

ASC 820 defines fair value, provides a consistent framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles and expands fair value financial statement disclosure requirements. ASC 820’s valuation techniques are based on observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect readily obtainable data from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. ASC 820 classifies these inputs into the following hierarchy:

Level 1 inputs: Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Level 2 inputs: Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.

Level 3 inputs: Instruments with primarily unobservable value drivers.

Item 9.     Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
        
On May 4, 2010, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the dismissal of KBL, LLP (“KBL”) as independent auditors for the Company and its subsidiaries.
 
KBL’s report on the Company's financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 contained an explanatory paragraph indicating that there was substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Other than such statement, no report of  KBL on the financial statements of the Company for the year ended June 30, 2009 and through May 4, 2010 contained an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, or was qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
 
During the Company’s most recent fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, their interim reports for the quarters ended September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2009 and through May 4, 2010: (i) there have been no disagreements with KBL on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of KBL, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports and (ii) KBL did not advise the Company of any of the events requiring reporting in this Current Report on Form 8-K under Item 304(a)(1) of Regulation S-K.
 
The Company provided to KBL the disclosure contained in this Form 8-K and requested KBL to furnish a letter addressed to the Commission stating whether it agrees with the statements made by the Company herein and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. A copy of such letter is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.1
 
On May 4, 2010, the Board of Directors of the Company ratified and approved the Company's engagement of Daszkal Bolton, LLP (“Daszkal”) as independent auditors for the Company and its subsidiaries.
 
During the years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 and through May 4, 2010, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted Daszkal regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated transaction, (ii) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's financial statements, or (iii) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement or event identified in response to Item 304(a)(1) of Regulation S-K (there being none).

On October 2, 2009, our current independent registered public accounting firm, Michael T. Studer CPA P.C. (“Studer”) resigned.   On October 12, 2009,  our Board of Directors approved, ratified and confirmed the appointment of KBL, LLP (“KBL”) as our new independent registered public accounting firm, effective October 5, 2009.

The reports of Studer on our financial statements for each of the past two fiscal years contained no adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. The appointment of KBL as our independent accountants was approved, ratified and confirmed by our Board of Directors on October 13, 2009.
 
During our two most recent fiscal years and through the date of this report, we have had no disagreements with Studer on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Studer, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of such disagreements in its report on our financial statements for such periods.
 
During our two most recent fiscal years and through the date of this report on Form 8-K, there have been no reportable events as defined under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K adopted by the SEC.

ITEM 9A (T) – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain "disclosure controls and procedures," as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
 
As of June 30, 2010, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in our periodic reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified for each report and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act.    Our management is also required to assess and report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in accordance with section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley of 2002 (“section 404”).  Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2009.  In making this assessment we used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. During our assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2010, management identified significant deficiencies related to (i) the U.S. GAAP expertise of our internal accounting staff, (ii) our internal audit functions and (iii) a lack of segregation of duties within accounting functions.  These deficiencies have, on occasion, prevented us from timely filing of our 8-K and 10-K.  Management believes that these deficiencies amount to a material weakness.  Therefore our internal controls over financial reporting were ineffective as of June 30, 2010.
 
We became a reporting company in December 2002.  We began preparing to be in compliance with the internal control obligations, including section 404, for our fiscal year ending June 30, 2003, with an accounting staff that was relatively inexperienced in working for a U.S. public company.  During most of our first fiscal year, our internal accounting staff was primarily engaged in insuring compliance with accounting and reporting requirements to meet U.S. GAAP requirements.  As a result, with the exception of certain additional persons hired towards the end of fiscal year ending June 30, 2003 to address these deficiencies, including the hiring of our Chief Financial Officer, our current internal accounting department responsible for financial reporting of the Company, on a consolidated basis, is relatively new to U.S. GAAP and the related internal control procedures required of U.S. public companies.  Although our accounting staff is professionally trained in accounting requirements and procedures required by U.S. GAAP, management has determined that they require additional training and assistance in U.S. GAAP matters.  Management has determined that our internal audit function is also deficient due to insufficient qualified resources to perform internal audit functions.  During the year ended June 30, 2010, our administrative staff has been reduced to only one employee.  Therefore, our efforts toward maintaining an effective internal control structure have been negatively affected.  We do not foresee a change in this situation in the near future, though we will continue to search for qualified candidates.
 
This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management's report in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

In order to correct the foregoing deficiencies, we plan to take the following remediation measures:

1)  
We have committed to the establishment of effective internal audit functions, however, due to the scarcity of qualified candidates with extensive experience in U.S. GAAP reporting and accounting in the region, we were not able to hire sufficient internal audit resources as of October 13, 2010.  However, we will increase our search for qualified candidates with assistance from recruiters and through referrals.

2)  
 In August 2009, we adopted measures suggested by our C.F.O. which would help to separate duties even with a diminished administrative staff, such as retaining and blank drafts inside the administrative offices, instead of permitting any persons to remove them from the premises.

3)  
Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible.  However, to the extent possible, we will implement procedures to ensure that the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions will be performed by capable individuals, and will ensure the timely filing of our 8-K and 10-K in the future.

We believe that the foregoing steps will remediate the deficiencies identified above, and we will continue to monitor the effectiveness of these steps and make any changes that our management deems appropriate.  However, as of October 13, 2010, these steps have not been completed.

A material weakness (within the meaning of PCAOB auditing standard No. 5) is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.  A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those responsible for oversight of the company’s financial reporting.

Our management is aware of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, and has acknowledged the increased possibility of errors existing in our financial statements as of June 30, 2010.  The reportable conditions and other areas of internal control over financial reporting identified by us as needing improvement have cause an increased possibility of a material misstatement of our financial statements, however we are not aware of any instance where such reportable conditions or other identified areas of weakness have resulted in a material misstatement or omission in any report we have filed with or submitted to the Commission.  Accordingly, while we believe that our financial controls were ineffective, we do not believe there to be any material misstatements in our financial statements at June 30, 2010.

Limitations on Controls

Management does not expect that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures or the Company's internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and fraud. Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives will be met. Further, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.  The Company's disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and the Company's chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective at that reasonable assurance level.

Item 9B. Other Information.

There have been no material events that have occurred during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2010 that were not previously disclosed.

Audit Committee Financial Expert

SmartMetric’s board of directors has determined that the company does not have an audit committee financial expert serving on its audit committee.  At the present time, we believe that the members of Board of Directors are collectively capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting.  We do, however, recognize the importance of good corporate governance and intend to appoint an audit committee comprised entirely of independent directors, including at least one financial expert, in the near future.

Committees of the Board

Our business, property and affairs are managed by or under the direction of the board of directors. Members of the board are kept informed of our business through discussion with the chief executive and financial officers and other officers, by reviewing materials provided to them and by participating at meetings of the board and its committees.

Audit Committee

SmartMetric does not currently have a separately - designated standing committee established in accordance with Section 3(a) (58)(A) of the Exchange Act. The entire board of directors is acting as SmartMetric’s audit committee.

Compensation Committee

SmartMetric does not presently have a compensation committee. Our board of directors currently acts as our compensation committee.

Nominating Committee

SmartMetric does not presently have a nominating committee. Our board of directors currently acts as our nominating committee.       


Code of Ethics

The Company has adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.

(1)
Colin Hendrick has been President, CEO and director of the Company since inception.  Mr. Hendrick receives an annual salary of $170,000.
 
(2)
Jay Needelman has been serving as CFO and director of the Company since July 2004.

Employment Agreements

We have no employment agreements with any of our executive officers, except for an employment agreement entered into between the Company and Mr. Hendrick effective July 1, 2004, which expired June 30, 2006. However, Mr. Hendrick continues to serve as President and is paid on the basis of $170,000 annual salary.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

We strive to provide our named executive officers (as defined in Item 402 of Regulation S-K) with a competitive base salary that is in line with their roles and responsibilities when compared to peer companies of comparable size in similar locations.

We plan to implement a more comprehensive compensation program, which takes into account other elements of compensation, including, without limitation, short and long term compensation, cash and non-cash, and other equity-based compensation such as stock options. We expect that this compensation program will be comparable to the programs of our peer companies and aimed to retain and attract talented individuals.

We will also consider forming a compensation committee to oversee the compensation of our named executive officers. The majority of the members of the compensation committee would be independent directors.

Compensation of Directors

As of the date of this annual report, our directors have received no compensation for their service on the board of directors.   A compensation program for our independent directors, as and when they are appointed, which we anticipate will include such elements as an annual retainer, meeting attendance fees and stock options. The details of that compensation program will be negotiated with each independent director.  Please note that Mr. Sleep’s compensation was paid to him as a Director.

Except as described below, there have been no significant related party transactions meeting the requirements for disclosure for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010.

On December 11, 2009, the Company entered into an Assignment and Assumption Agreement (“Assignment Agreement”) with Applied Cryptology, Inc. (the “Assignor”) pursuant to which the Assignor assigned all or its rights, title and interest to certain technology which is the subject of a Patent Cooperation Treaty Application filed on February 18, 2000 with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, and originally the subject of an application filed on February 18, 1999 with the Australian Patent and Trademark Office and the recipient of a patent from the United States Patent and Trademark office, dated December 4, 2001, including adaptations, derivatives of, and current and future technological developments thereto (the “Patent”) to the Company.  In consideration for the assignment of the Patent, the Company issued the Assignor 200,000 shares of the Company’s Series B preferred stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”).  Applied Cryptography, Inc., is owned and controlled by Mr. Hendrick, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

Procedures for Approval of Related Party Transactions
 
Our board of directors is charged with reviewing and approving all potential related party transactions.  All such related party transactions must then be reported under applicable SEC rules. We have not adopted other procedures for review, or standards for approval, of such transactions, but instead review them on a case-by-case basis.

Director Independence

The Company currently does not have a director that qualifies as an “independent” director as that term is defined under the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation system.  Our company, however, recognizes the importance of good corporate governance and intends to appoint an audit committee comprised entirely of independent directors, including at least one financial expert, in the near future.
