NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Note 1 - Description of Business Summary

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bonds.com Group, Inc. (a Delaware Corporation) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Bonds.com Holdings, Inc. (a Delaware Corporation), Bonds.com, Inc. (a Delaware Corporation), Bonds MBS, Inc. (a Delaware Corporation), and Bonds.com, LLC (an inactive Delaware Limited Liability Company). These entities are collectively referred to as the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our”.

 

All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

In the opinion of management of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2013 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012. The December 31, 2012 condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year.

 

On April 25, 2013, the Company implemented a 1-for-400 reverse split of the Company's common stock, $0.0001 par value per share ("Reverse Stock Split").  Trading of the common stock on a post-Reverse Stock Split adjusted basis on the OTCQB Market began on April 26, 2013. All historic share and per share information, including earnings per share, in this Form 10-Q have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

  

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

  

 

BONDS.COM GROUP, INC

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company executes transactions between its clients and liquidity providers.  It acts as an intermediary (riskless-principal) in these transactions by serving as a trading counterparty to both the buyer and the seller in matching back-to-back trades, which are then settled through a clearing organization.  Securities transactions and the related revenues and expenses are recorded on a trade-date basis.  Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.

 

Software Development Costs

 

Costs for software developed for internal use are accounted for through the capitalization of those costs incurred in connection with developing or obtaining internal-use software. Capitalized costs for internal-use software are included in intangible assets in the consolidated balance sheet. Capitalized software development costs are amortized over three years.

 

Costs incurred during the preliminary project along with post-implementation stages of internal use computer software development and costs incurred to maintain existing product offerings are expensed as incurred. The capitalization and ongoing assessment of recoverability of development costs require considerable judgment by management with respect to certain external factors, including, but not limited to, technological and economic feasibility and estimated economic life. At March 31, 2013, the Company had $954,749 in capitalized software development of which $166,264 was capitalized during the three months ended March 31, 2013. The recently capitalized software will be placed in service in stages beginning in 2014 and the Company will begin amortizing over the software's estimated economic life. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, amortization expense for recently capitalized software development was $4,251.

 

Fair Value Financial Instruments

 

The carrying values of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values based on the short-term nature of such items. The carrying values of notes payable approximate their fair values based on applicable market interest rates. The liability under derivative instruments is carried at fair value as described in Note 4 below.

 

Income Taxes

 

Current income taxes are based on the year’s taxable income for federal and state income tax reporting purposes. Deferred income taxes are provided on a liability basis whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss carry forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax law and rates on the date of enactment. The Company records a liability for uncertain tax positions when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters as a component of income tax expense. The Company’s 2010, 2011, and 2012 tax year remains subject to examination by taxing authorities. The Company has determined that it does not have any significant uncertain tax positions at March 31, 2013.

 

Reclassification

 

Prior period numbers have been regrouped or reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

 

Recent Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a significant effect on the accompanying financial statements.

 

Note 3 - Going Concern

 

Since its inception, the Company has a history of operating losses, and has an accumulated deficit of approximately $49.6 million and working capital of approximately $0.3 million at March 31, 2013 and used approximately $1.7 million of cash in operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013, which together raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern, which assumes the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the resolution of this contingency.

Note 4 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Authoritative accounting guidance defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

 

The fair value hierarchy measures the financial assets in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are:

 

●	Level 1 – Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in active exchange markets, or interest in open-end mutual funds that allow a company to sell its ownership interest back at net asset value (“NAV”) on a daily basis. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets, liabilities or funds.
●	Level 2 – Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in less active dealer, or broker markets, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities or quoted prices in markets that are not active. Level 2 includes U.S. Treasury, U.S. government and agency debt securities, and mortgage-backed securities. Valuations are usually obtained from third party pricing services for identical or comparable assets or liabilities.
●	Level 3 – Valuations for assets and liabilities that are derived from other valuation methodologies, such as option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques, and not based on market exchange, dealers, or broker-traded transactions. Level 3 valuations incorporate certain assumptions and projections in determining the fair value assigned to such assets or liabilities.

The availability of observable inputs can vary from instrument to instrument and in certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to measuring the fair value of an instrument requires judgment and consideration of factors specific to the instrument.

   

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company’s derivative financial instruments consist of conversion options embedded in convertible promissory notes and warrants issued in connection with the sale of common and preferred stock that contain “down round” protection to the holders. These derivatives are valued with pricing models using inputs that are generally observable. The Company considers these models to involve significant judgment on the part of management.  The fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments are considered to be in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company estimates the fair value of derivatives utilizing the Binomial Lattice pricing model. This model is dependent upon several variables such as the expected instruments term, expected strike price, expected risk-free interest rate over the expected instrument term, the expected dividend yield rate over the expected instrument term and the expected volatility of the Company’s stock price over the expected term. The expected term represents the period of time that the instruments granted are expected to be outstanding. The expected strike price is based upon a weighted average probability analysis of the strike price changes expected during the term as a result of the down round protection.  The risk-free rates are based on U.S. Treasury securities with similar maturities as the expected terms of the options at the date of issuance. Expected dividend yield is based on historical trends.  The Company measures volatility using a blended weighted average of the volatility rates for a number of similar publicly-traded companies along with the Company’s historical volatility.

 

Since the over-the-counter market has not been active and private sales of the Company’s shares sold may differ significantly from the then current trading price, the Company bases the fair market value of its common stock on a valuation. Based on the Company’s valuation, the fair market value of the Company’s common stock was reduced to $6.40 ($0.02 prior to the reverse stock split) for the quarter ending March 31, 2013 from $10.80 ($0.03 prior to the reverse stock split) at December 31, 2012. This change in fair market value of the Company’s common stock is a significant factor in the change in the valuation of the Company’s derivative liability at March 31, 2013 in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Level 3 Assets and Liabilities

 

Level 3 liabilities include instruments whose value is determined using pricing models and for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

  

Fair values of assets measured on a recurring basis at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 are as follows:

 

						Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets / Liabilities				Significant Other Observable Inputs				Significant Unobservable Inputs
		Fair Value				(Level 1)				(Level 2)				(Level 3)
March 31, 2013
Liabilities
Derivative financial instruments		$	2,051,143			$	—			$	—			$	2,051,143
Total liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis		$	2,051,143			$	—			$	—			$	2,051,143
December 31 , 2012
Liabilities
Derivative financial instruments		$	5,793,857			$	—				—			$	5,793,857
Total liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis		$	5,793,857			$	—			$	—			$	5,793,857

 

 

Both observable and unobservable inputs may be used to determine the fair value of positions that the Company has classified within the Level 3 category. As a result, the unrealized gains for liabilities within the Level 3 category presented in the tables below may include changes in fair value that were attributable to both observable and unobservable inputs. The following table presents additional information about Level 3 liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis for the period ended March 31, 2013:

 

		Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities
Balance – December 31, 2012		$	5,793,857
Changes in fair value included in operations			(4,025,571	)
Issuances			282,857
Balance –March 31, 2013		$	2,051,143

 

As the date of the expiration of the down-round protection approaches, the fair value of the derivative liability, absent significant changes in factors other than time which may affect the estimate of fair value, generally decreases. The change in value of derivative financial instruments included in the March 31, 2013 and 2012 statements of operation are related to Level 3 obligations held.

Issuances

 

On February 28, 2013, the Company sold an aggregate of 20 units for a total purchase price of $2,000,000, with each unit comprised of (a) warrants exercisable for 3,571 shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share, and (b) 100 shares of Series E-2 Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share.   The Company allocated $282,857 and $1,688,497 of its proceeds to the warrants and Series E-2 Preferred, respectively, using the residual method.  Such warrants contain down-round protection provisions for the holders and are therefore considered a derivative liability.  Such warrants have been valued using a Binomial Lattice Model.  The value of each warrant was estimated to be $3.96 per warrant utilizing the following assumptions, expected volatility of 108.35%, risk-free interest rate of 0.77%, expected term of 5 years, weighted average probability strike price of $28.00 and a market price of $6.40($0.02 prior to the reverse stock split).  The Company analyzed the effective conversion feature of the Series E-2 Preferred and determined that there was no beneficial conversion features upon the issuance.

Note 9- Loss Per Share

 

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing loss available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share considers the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that shared in the earnings of the entity.  No diluted loss per share has been computed since the effect of any potentially dilutive securities would be antidilutive.  Potentially dilutive securities excluded from the calculation of weighted average common shares outstanding at March 31, 2013 and 2012, include i) 1,261,380 and 951,450,respectively of both common stock and preferred series A warrants; ii) 679,623 and 212,558, respectively of common stock underlying stock options; iii) 19,881 and 102,736, issuable under convertible note payable and iv) 1,337,134 and 935,541, respectively, of shares issuable under preferred stock. All of these potentially dilutive securities have the ability to be converted to common stock. Dividends related to convertible preferred stock have been excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share.

 

Note 10- Net Capital and Reserve Requirements

 

Bonds.com Inc. is subject to SEC Uniform Net Capital Rule 15c3-1.  Bonds.com Inc. computes its net capital under the basic method permitted by the rule, which requires that the minimum net capital be equal to the greater of $100,000 or 6-2/3% of aggregate indebtedness.

 

The Company is exempt from the SEC Rule 15c3-3 pursuant to the exemption provision under subparagraph (k)(2)(ii) thereof and, therefore, is not required to maintain a "Special Reserve Bank Account for Exclusive Benefit of Customers".

		March 31, 2013
Ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital		0.28 to 1
Net capital		$	4,376,322

Note 11- Share-Based Compensation

 

The Company has two equity-based compensation plans, the 2006 Equity Plan (the “2006 Plan”) and the 2011 Equity Plan (the “2011 Equity Plan", and together with the 2006 Plan, each a “Plan” and together the “Plans”), which are effective for 10 years. In May 2012, the Board of Directors adopted a measure to increase the number of shares in the 2011 plan by 187,500 to a total of 500,000 shares. The 2006 Plan and 2011 Equity Plan provides for a total of 32,835 and 500,000 shares, respectively, to be allocated and reserved for the purposes of offering non-statutory stock options to employees, consultants and non-employee directors and incentive stock options to employees.   If any option expires, terminates or is terminated or canceled for any reason prior to exercise in full, the shares subject to the unexercised portion shall be available for future options granted under the respective Plan.  Options become exercisable over various vesting periods depending on the nature of the grant. Certain option awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control (as defined in the Plans). 

 

The exercise price of both incentive and non-statutory options may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on date of grant; provided, however, that the exercise price of an incentive stock option granted to a holder of at least ten percent (10%) of total issued and outstanding common stock shall not be less than 110% of the fair market value of the shares of common stock.  As of March 31, 2013, the Company had 81,000 shares of Common Stock available for the future grant of options under the 2011 Equity Plan, and 5,613 shares of Common Stock available for the future grant of options under the 2006 Plan.

The Company granted an aggregate of 147,414 options outside the Plans of which 23,750 were granted to non-employees.

 

The weighted-average grant date fair value of options granted to employees during the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $12.00, and no options were granted during the three months ended March 31, 2012. The fair value of each option award was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following weighted-average assumptions:

 

		March 31
		2013				2012
Dividend yield			—				—
Expected volatility			111.30%				—
Risk-free interest rate			0.25%				—
Expected life (in years)			4				—
Fair value of common stock			$8.00				—

 

The weighted-average expected life for the options granted reflects the alternative simplified method permitted by authoritative guidance, which defines the expected life as the average of the contractual term of the options and the weighted-average vesting period for all option tranches.  

 

As of March 31, 2013, there was approximately $2,367,890 of unrecognized compensation cost related to options issued of which approximately $1,680,419 will be allocated to Bonds.com, Inc.  This amount is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average 2.22 years.

 

There were no options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2013.  

 

Non-cash compensation expense relating to stock options was calculated by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, amortizing the value calculated over the vesting period and applying a zero forfeiture percentage as estimated by the Company's management, using historical information.  The Company has elected to recognize compensation cost for option awards that have graded vesting schedules on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the non-cash compensation expense relating to option grants amount to $288,091 and $98,565, respectively. The compensation expense is included in payroll and related costs in the consolidated statements of operations.

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

The following is management’s discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company, as well as our liquidity and capital resources. The discussion, including known trends and uncertainties identified by management, should be read in conjunction with the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

 

Executive Overview

  

The Company, through its indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary Bonds.com, Inc. (“Bonds.com”) operates an electronic trading platform under the name BondsPRO. This platform offers large institutional investors an alternative trading system to trade odd-lot fixed-income securities. Our customers are able to customize screens and utilize dynamic filtering capabilities to quickly and easily select and view only those market areas that meet their criteria. The platform supports a broad range of trading opportunities, offering cutting edge technology solutions for list trading, Application Programming Interface (“API”) based order submission, and user portfolio specific market views. The platform supports investment grade and high yield corporate bonds and emerging market debt. The BondsPRO platform provides users the ability to obtain real-time executable bids or offers on thousands of bond offerings sourced directly from broker-dealers and other end users. As a registered broker-dealer, Bonds.com acts as riskless principal on all trades which allows our customers to trade anonymously on the platform. Our customer base, including all major corporate bond dealers, market makers and liquidity providers are eligible to participate on our platform for free. Unlike other electronic trading platforms that charge subscription fees, access charges, ticket fees, or commissions in order to generate revenue, our model allows us to generate revenue through mark-ups or mark-downs on secondary market securities from those aggressing on the platform. BondsPRO provides a direct connection between our institutional customers and the trading desks at our participating broker-dealers, which we expect will reduce sales and marketing costs, and eliminate layers of intermediaries between dealers and end investors.

 

The Company has been executing its current business plan for over three years. The acceptance of our business model has been very strong and we continue to be encouraged by our growth and path towards profitability. We are focused on the demands of the marketplace as a result of the changing economic, regulatory and technological climate with a view to providing a trading platform that meets these demands. Our goal is to provide our institutional customers a state of the art technology platform, easily accessible and customizable to their technology infrastructure and that allows them efficient access to our large pool of liquidity.

 

Technology

 

We rely on a third party vendor for the technology and hardware that operate our BondsPRO trading platform. Disruptions in the services provided by third parties to us, including their inability or unwillingness to continue to license products that are critical to the success of our business at favorable terms or at all, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

The electronic fixed income trading market is experiencing a period of both rapid growth and wide exposure.  The advances made in the electronic equity markets have attracted the attention of fixed income market participants, technologists and opportunistic investors for many years.  As our operation continues to grow, we are faced with the need to develop new businesses and enhance existing offerings. We will be required to continue to invest in hardware, software development, and networking capabilities, both internally and through vendor relationships.  This will require expenditures on all fronts, including on internal development, and the potential to outsource needs or license technology.

 

Furthermore, as the electronic fixed income market evolves, we will be faced with increasingly complicated solution requirements, which will require more sophisticated technology solutions.  Key to capturing, maintaining and growing market share will be the Company’s ability to deliver advanced technology solutions to our growing customer base in a cost efficient and timely manner.  As a result, we are committed to allocating the appropriate financial resources to this endeavor.

 

Our biggest investment is in our people and relationships we build with our customers. We seek to attract high caliber professionals by offering competitive compensation packages that include share based compensation aligning their interests with that of the Company.

 

Financial Results of Operations

 

Earnings Overview

 

As the Company continues on its growth path and implements its business plan we continue to incur operating losses. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, we incurred a loss from operations of $1.7 million, which was $0.6 million more than the loss from operations of $1.1 million incurred for the period ended March 31, 2012. The change was due primarily to increases in payroll and related costs offset by decreases in professional and consulting fees. Additionally, the Company recorded an unrealized gain in value of its derivative financial instruments of $4.0 million which resulted in overall net income of $2.3 million for the period ended March 31, 2013, compared to overall net loss of $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

 

 

Revenue

 

The Company generates all of its revenue through its riskless principal trading activity. Customers who initiate trades on our platform pay a mark-up/mark-down on each trade based on the trade’s size and maturity. All trades, once matched on the platform, settle at our clearing firm and the net proceeds are credited to our account.

 

Total revenue decreased by 2% to approximately $2.0 million from $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. Market factors lead to overall lower trading volumes as compared to the same period in 2012. Although revenue was primarily flat, as compared to the same period in 2012, revenue per trade continues to grow as our business matures and relationships with our customers strengthen. Our revenue is measured as a function of the aggregate value of the securities traded, therefore revenue varies based on the size of the applicable trade.

 

Operating Expenses

 

The primary operating expenses of the Company are compensation, technology and professional and consulting fees. Payroll expenses in 2013 and 2012 include salaries, bonuses, employee benefits and payroll taxes. In addition there are related payroll costs including share-based compensation expenses associated with the issuance of stock options under the Company’s employee equity plans. Our technology costs include license and other fees to our technology vendor, market data services and other communication and technology costs. The professional and consulting fees are primarily corporate and regulatory counsel fees, audit and accounting services fees and other consulting related costs.

 

Operating expenses increased 18%, or approximately $0.6 million to $3.7 million from $3.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase was due to fluctuations in expense of, i) $1.1 million increase in payroll and related costs due mainly to increased salary and benefits associated with adding several senior positions,increase in annual performance bonus and increase in share-based compensation, offset by, ii) $0.4 million decrease in professional and consulting fees pertaining to a decline in accounting services, audit and legal fees, and iii) $0.1 decrease in marketing and advertising expense.

 

Other Income and (Loss)

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company's other income amounted to $4.0 million compared to other income of $0.02 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The change is primarily due to the $4.0 million in unrealized change in value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company continues to rely on investor capital to fund its growing business. As of March 31, 2013, the Company had total current assets of approximately $6.0 million, comprised of cash and cash equivalents ($5.6 million) and prepaid expenses and other assets ($0.4 million). This compares with current assets of approximately 5.7 million as of December 31, 2012, comprised of cash and cash equivalents ($5.5 million) and prepaid expenses and other assets ($0.2 million). The increase of $0.3 million in current assets between such dates was due to capital infusion of $2.0 million during the period, offset by the utilization of cash used in ongoing operations.

 

The Company’s current liabilities as of March 31, 2013 totaled approximately $5.7 million, comprised primarily of accounts payable and accrued expenses ($3.2 million), liabilities under derivative financial instruments ($2.1 million), and convertible notes payable to related parties ($0.4 million).  By comparison current liabilities at December 31, 2012 were approximately $9.8 million, comprised primarily of accounts payable and accrued expenses ($3.6 million), liabilities under derivative financial instruments ($5.8 million), and convertible notes payable to related parties ($0.4 million). The decrease of $4.1 million in current liabilities between such dates was primarily due to the revaluation effect of derivative financial instruments.

 

The $4.1 million working capital deficiency from December 31, 2012 was eliminated as a result of the revaluation of the liability under derivative financial instruments. At March 31, 2013 the Company had working capital of $0.3 million.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company raised additional equity capital, net of issuance costs, by the issuance of preferred stock and common stock warrants in the aggregate amount of $2.0 million as noted in the “Recent Financing Activities” section below.

 

Our business is dependent upon the availability of adequate funding and regulatory capital under applicable regulatory requirements. Historically, we have satisfied these needs primarily through equity and debt financing. Our ability to continue operations and grow our business depends on our continued ability to raise additional funds and generate our targeted revenues.  We may need to raise additional funds to satisfy our working capital needs.

 

 

The following is a summary of the Company’s cash flows provided by (used in) operating, investing, and financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 (in 000’s):

 

		Three Months Ended March 31,2013				Three Months Ended March 31, 2012
Net cash (used) in operating activities		$	(1,742	)		$	(1,618	)
Net cash (used in) investing activities		$	(180	)		$	(32	)
Net cash provided by financing activities		$	1,971			$	300
Net increase/(decrease) in cash		$	49			$	(1,350	)

 

Operating Activities - Cash used in operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013 amounted to approximately ($1.7) million, consisting primarily of net income of approximately $2.3 million adjusted for non-cash related items of ($3.7) million, including change in value of derivative financial instruments of ($4.0) million and share-based compensation of $0.3 million and payments to increase prepaid expense ($0.2) and reduce our accounts payable and accrued expenses of ($0.2) million.

 

Investing Activities – Cash used in investing activities of ($0.2) million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, primarily consisted of capitalized software costs associated with platform development.

 

Financing Activities - Net cash provided by financing activities of $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, primarily consisted of net proceeds from the issuance of preferred stock and common stock warrants of $2.0 million.

 

Recent Financing Activities

 

In March 2013, the Company consummated a sale for 20 “Units” of the Company.  Each “Unit” purchased consists of (i) 100 shares of Series E-2 Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share and (ii) warrants exercisable for approximately 3,570 shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share, at an exercise price of $28.00 per share.  These financing activities were executed in order to raise cash for the purpose of covering general operating costs of the Company. Net proceeds to the Company were approximately $1.97 million.

 

Going Concern

 

Our independent auditors have added an emphasis paragraph to their audit opinion issued in connection with the consolidated financial statements of Bonds.com Group, Inc. for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, with respect to the significant doubt that exists regarding our ability to continue as a going concern due to our recurring losses from operations, minimal working capital, and our accumulated deficit. We have a history of operating losses since our inception in 2005, have working capital of approximately $0.3 million, and an accumulated deficit of approximately $49.6 million at March 31, 2013, which together raises doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern will be determined by our ability to sustain a successful level of operations and to continue to raise capital from debt, equity and other sources.

  

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) requires estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The SEC has defined a company’s critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of the company’s financial condition and results of operations, and which require the company to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. We believe that our estimates and assumptions are reasonable under the circumstances; however, actual results may vary from these estimates and assumptions. We have identified in Note 2 - “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the Financial Statements contained in this Quarterly Report certain critical accounting policies that affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenues generated from securities transactions and the related commissions are recorded on a trade date basis.

 

 

Income Taxes

 

We recognize deferred income taxes for the temporary timing differences between U.S. GAAP and tax basis taxable income. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. We evaluate and determine on a periodic basis the amount of the valuation allowance required and adjust the valuation allowance as needed. As of March 31, 2013 and 2012, a valuation allowance was established for the full amount of deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of its realization.

 

Share-Based Compensation

 

We measure equity-based compensation awards at the grant date (based upon an estimate of the fair value of the compensation granted) and record the expense over the requisite service period, which generally is the vesting period. Accordingly, we estimate the value of employee stock options using a Black-Scholes option pricing model, where the assumptions necessary for the calculation of fair value include expected term and expected volatility, which are subjective and represent management’s best estimate based on the characteristics of the options granted.

  

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Under U.S. GAAP, fair value is defined as “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.” U.S. GAAP establishes a three-tiered fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used in fair value calculations. The three levels of inputs are defined as Level 1 (unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets), Level 2 (inputs that are observable in the marketplace other than those inputs classified in Level 1) and Level 3 (inputs that are unobservable in the marketplace). The Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis consist of its investment securities and derivative financial instruments.

 

“Down-Round” Provisions with Rights (Warrants and Conversion Options)

 

Purchase rights (warrants) associated with certain of our financings include provisions that protect the purchaser from certain declines in the Company’s stock price (or “down-round” provisions). Down-round provisions reduce the exercise price of the warrants (and conversion rate of the convertible promissory notes) if the Company either issues equity shares for a price that is lower than the exercise price of those instruments or issues new convertible instruments that have a lower exercise price. Due to such down-round provision, all warrants issued are recognized as liabilities at their respective fair values on each reporting date and are marked-to-market on a monthly basis. Changes in value are recorded on our condensed consolidated statement of operations as a gain or loss on derivative financial instruments and investment securities in other income (expense). The fair values of these securities are estimated using a Binomial Lattice valuation model.

None, other than leases.

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act as of March 31, 2013. Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls are designed at a reasonable assurance level and are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC 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.

 

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting in the quarter ending March 31, 2013 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
