BLASTGARD INTERNATIONAL, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2014

(1)           Basis of Presentation
 
The interim period financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations. This report should be read in conjunction with our Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position at March 31, 2014 and the results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 have been made.
 
 
These consolidated financial statements include the assets and liabilities of Blastgard International, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.  All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
 
BlastGard International, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on September 26, 2003 as BlastGard Technologies, Inc. (“BTI”) in the State of Florida, to design and market proprietary blast mitigation materials. The Company created, designs, develops and markets proprietary blast mitigation materials.  The Company’s patent-pending BlastWrap® technology effectively mitigates blast effects and suppresses post-blast fires.  The Company sub-contracts the manufacturing of products to licensed and qualified production facilities.
 
The Company went public through a shell merger on January 31, 2004.  On March 31, 2004, the Company changed its name to BlastGard International, Inc.  On March 4, 2011, the Company completed the acquisition of HighCom Securities, Inc and subsidiaries.  The income of HighCom and subsidiaries is included from January 25, 2011, the date of the binding letter of intent.  These financial statements include the assets liabilities and activity of the following:
 
BlastGard International, Inc. BlastGard® International, Inc. is a Colorado corporation that has developed and designed proprietary blast mitigation materials.  The Company operates from offices in Clearwater, Florida and uses contract manufacturers in various locations for production.
 
BlastGard Technologies Inc. is a dormant Florida corporation.
 
HighCom Securities, Inc. HighCom Securities, Inc. (HighCom), originally located in San Francisco California, is a global provider of security equipment and a leader in advanced ballistic armor manufacturing.  The Company has a manufacturing facility in Columbus, Ohio for production and has moved the corporate offices to Clearwater, Florida as of May 1, 2011.
 
Going Concern
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring losses and has used significant cash in support of its operating activities.  These factors, among others, may indicate that the Company will be unable to continue as a going concern.
 
The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.  The Company’s continuation as a going concern was dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis and ultimately to attain profitability.  The Company plans to generate the necessary cash flows with increased sales revenue over the next 12 months.  However, should the Company’s sales not provide sufficient cash flow; the Company has plans to raise additional working capital through debt and/or equity financings.    There was no assurance the Company will be successful in producing increased sales revenues or obtaining additional funding through debt and equity financings.
 
 
 

 
 
Accounting Policies
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles required management to make estimates and assumptions that affected the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
The Company considered all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents.  The Company had no cash equivalents at March 31, 2014 or December 31, 2013.
 
Financial Instruments
 
The carrying amounts of cash, receivables and current liabilities approximated fair value due to the short-term maturity of the instruments.  Debt obligations were carried at cost, which approximated fair value due to the prevailing market rate for similar instruments.
 
Fair Value Measurement
 
All financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities were recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements.  This value was evaluated on a recurring basis (at least annually).  Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States define fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on a measurement date. The accounting principles also established a fair value hierarchy which required an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.  Three levels of inputs were used to measure fair value.
 
Level 1: Quotes market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
 
Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that were corroborated by market data.
 
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that were not corroborated by market data.
 
Accounts Receivable
 
Accounts receivable consisted of amounts due from customers based in the United States and abroad.  The Company considered accounts more than 30 days old to be past due. The Company used the allowance method for recognizing bad debts. When an account was deemed uncollectible, it was written off against the allowance. The Company generally does not require collateral for its accounts receivable.  Management deems all accounts receivable to be collectable at March 31, 2014.
 
Inventory
 
Inventory was stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market.  Market was generally considered to be net realizable value.  Inventory consisted of materials used to manufacture the Company’s product and finished goods ready for sale.
 
 
 

 
 
Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment were stated at cost. Depreciation was calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, ranging from three to seven years.  Expenditures for additions and improvements were capitalized, while repairs and maintenance costs were expensed as incurred.  The cost and related accumulated depreciation of property and equipment sold or otherwise disposed of were removed from the accounts and any gain or loss was recorded in the year of disposal.
 
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
 
The Company evaluates the carrying value of its long-lived assets at least annually.  Impairment losses were recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment were present and the undiscounted future cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets were less than the assets’ carrying amount.   If such assets were impaired, the impairment to be recognized was measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.  Assets to be disposed of were reported at the lower of the carrying value or fair value, less costs to sell.
 
Debt Issue Costs
 
The costs related to the issuance of debt were capitalized and amortized to interest expense using the straight-line method over the lives of the related debt.  The straight-line method results in amortization that was not materially different from that calculated under the effective interest method.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
Sales revenue was recognized upon the shipment of product to customers.  Allowances for sales returns, rebates and discounts were recorded as a component of net sales in the period the allowances were recognized.
 
Research and Development
 
Research and development costs were expensed as incurred.
 
Advertising
 
Advertising costs were expensed as incurred. Advertising costs of $34,000 and $0 were incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
 
Shipping and Freight Costs
 
The Company includes shipping costs in cost of goods sold.

Income Taxes
 
Income taxes were provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the recorded book basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities for financial and income tax reporting.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities were recovered or settled.  Deferred tax assets were also recognized for operating losses that were available to offset future taxable income and tax credits that were available to offset future federal income taxes, less the effect of any allowances considered necessary. The company use guidance provided by ASC-740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, for reporting uncertain tax provisions.
 
Stock-based Compensation
 
We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock-based awards on the date of grant, using assumptions for volatility, expected term, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. We have used one grouping for the assumptions as our option grants were primarily basic with similar characteristics. The expected term of options granted has been derived based upon our history of actual exercise behavior and represents the period of time that options granted were expected to be outstanding. Historical data was also used to estimate option exercises and employee terminations. Estimated volatility was based upon our historical market price at consistent points in a period equal to the expected life of the options. The risk-free interest rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant and the dividend yield was based on the historical dividend yield.  Compensation expense for stock based compensation is recognized over the vesting period.
 
 
 

 
 
 
Income (Loss) per Common Share
 
Basic net loss per share excludes the impact of common stock equivalents.  Diluted net income (loss) per share utilizes the average market price per share when applying the treasury stock method in determining common stock equivalents.  As of March 31, 2014, there were 37,550,000 vested common stock options outstanding, which were included in the calculation of net loss per share-diluted because they were dilutive. In addition, March 31, 2014 the Company had 75,000,000 warrants outstanding issued in connection with convertible promissory notes and stock sales that were also included because they were dilutive.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
We have reviewed the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) accounting pronouncements and interpretations thereof that have effectiveness dates during the periods reported and in future periods. The Company has carefully considered the new pronouncements that alter previous generally accepted accounting principles and does not believe that any new or modified principles will have a material impact on the corporation’s reported financial position or operations in the near term.  The applicability of any standard is subject to the formal review of our financial management and certain standards are under consideration.  Reference is made to these recent accounting pronouncements as if they are set forth therein in their entirety.
 
(2)         Inventory

The Company’s manufacturing is sub-contracted to licensed and qualified production facilities.  Our inventory is made up of raw materials, work in progress and finished goods. Our inventory is maintained at

Background of Secured Financings of BlastGard and Conversion into Common Stock
 
Alpha Capital Anstalt, a secured debt holder which first loaned us money in December 2004, loaned us $160,000 in February 2011, an additional $300,000 in March 2011, an additional $300,000 in September 2011 and an additional $500,000 in November 2011 pursuant to secured convertible promissory notes. At December 31, 2012, the Company owed $1,210,000 in principal (exclusive of accrued interest of $206,314.71) to Alpha Capital Anstalt after reduction of principal of approximately $50,000 which was converted into Common Stock in 2012.

As of March 21, 2013, the Company had outstanding $1,267,707.07 in principal debt, including accrued interest thereon owed to Alpha Capital Anstalt, pursuant to secured promissory notes (collectively the “Company Debt”). Pursuant to an amendment and consent, all of the debt owed to Alpha Capital, which was previously past due and were the subject of security agreements, guarantee and other transaction documents, to the extent outstanding, have had their maturity date extended through June 14, 2013 and their conversion price lowered from $0.010 per share to $0.009 per share.
 
On April 4, 2013, Alpha Capital Anstalt, closed on an agreement dated March 21, 2013  (the “Purchase and Exchange Agreement”) with 8464081 Canada Inc. (the “Purchaser”) to sell to the Purchaser and its assignees the Company’s Debt in the principal amount, including accrued interest thereon, of $1,267,770.07 (which excludes $182,000 of the principal due on this note that was maintained by Alpha Capital) owned by it plus warrants to purchase 104,333,335 shares (exercisable at $0.009 per share). The agreements required that within three (3) months of March 21, 2013, that the Purchaser shall convert all the notes acquired by it at the current conversion price of $0.009 per share. Alpha Capital Anstalt (the “Seller”) has also committed to convert the $182,000 of principal retained by it into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at the same conversion price. Also, the agreement required the Purchaser to offer to purchase the other December 2004 Debt for a purchase price equal to the total amount of principal and interest due on each note with a 10% premium.
 
 
 

 
 
On April 23, 2013, the aforementioned secured note holders converted their debt in the principal amount of approximately $1.451 million including accrued interest thereon into 161,269,410 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $.009 per share. Of the 161,269,410 shares, 132,426,499 shares were issued to 8464081 Canada Inc., 20,222,222 shares were issued to Alpha Capital Anstalt and 8,620,689 shares were issued to Laurentian Bank Securities ITF Robocheyne Consulting Ltd. Exemption from registration is claimed under Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
 
At December 31, 2012, the Company had outstanding other secured indebtedness borrowed in December 2004 in the amount of $125,663. At September 30, 2013, this other secured indebtedness was reduced to $32,566 as a result of the conversion of principal and accrued interest into 12,218,869 shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $.009 per share. As part of Alpha Capital Anstalt’s agreement with 8464081 Canada, 8464081 Canada is reportedly in the process of purchasing this other secured indebtedness which approximates $45,000, including accrued interest thereon, and, upon the completion of said purchase, such indebtedness will be converted into Common Stock at $.009 per share.

Our outstanding secured debt has mandatory redemption provisions. A large portion of the secured debt provides that in the event (i) the Company is prohibited from issuing Conversion Shares, (ii) upon the occurrence of any other Event of Default (as defined in the Transaction Documents), that continues beyond any applicable cure period, (iii) a Change in Control (as defined below) occurs, or (iv) upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company or any Subsidiary, then at the Secured Debt Holder’s  election, the Company must pay to the Secured Debt Holder not later than ten (10) days after request by such Secured Debt Holder, a sum of money determined by multiplying up to the outstanding principal amount of the Note designated by the Secured Debt Holder, at the Secured Debt Holder’s election, the greater of (i) 120%, or (ii) a fraction the numerator of which is the highest closing price of the Common Stock for the thirty days preceding the date demand is made by Secured Debt Holder and the denominator of which is the lowest applicable conversion price during such thirty (30) day period, plus accrued but unpaid interest and any other amounts due under the Transaction Documents ("Mandatory Redemption Payment"). The Mandatory Redemption Payment must be received by the Secured Debt Holder on the same date as the Conversion Shares otherwise deliverable or within ten (10) days after request, whichever is sooner ("Mandatory Redemption Payment Date"). Upon receipt of the Mandatory Redemption Payment, the corresponding Note principal, interest and other amounts will be deemed paid and no longer outstanding.  The Secured Debt Holder may rescind the election to receive a Mandatory Redemption Payment at any time until such payment is actually received.  Liquidated damages calculated that have been paid or accrued for the ten day period prior to the actual receipt of the Mandatory Redemption Payment by such Secured Debt Holder shall be credited against the Mandatory Redemption Payment provided the balance of the Mandatory Redemption Payment is timely paid.  “Change in Control” is defined as  (i) the Company  becoming a Subsidiary of another entity (other than a corporation formed by the Company for purposes of reincorporation in another U.S. jurisdiction), (ii) the sale, lease or transfer of substantially all the assets of the Company or any Subsidiary, (iii) a majority of the members of the Company’s board of directors as of the Closing Date no longer serving as directors of the Company, except as a result of natural causes or as a result of hiring additional outside directors in order to meet appropriate stock exchange requirements, or (iv) Michael Gordon, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company is no longer serving as Chief Executive Officer unless prior written consent of the Secured Debt Holder had been obtained by the Company.  The foregoing notwithstanding, the Secured Debt Holder may demand and receive from the Company the amount stated above or any other greater amount which the Secured Debt Holder is entitled to receive or demand pursuant to the Transaction Documents.

In connection with the aforementioned loan transactions, we also issued to Alpha Capital Anstalt warrants to purchase 104,333,335 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, which warrants are currently exercisable at a reduced exercise price of $.009 per share, which exercise price is subject to adjustment pursuant to the provisions of the warrant. In the event a fundamental transaction occurs as defined in the warrants, which includes without limitation any person or group acquiring 50% of the aggregate Common Stock of the Company, then the holder of the warrants may have the right to have the warrants redeemed at a price equal to the Black-Scholes value of said warrants. These warrants were sold by Alpha Capital to 8464081 Canada.

Also, pursuant to the Purchase and Exchange Agreement by and among Alpha Capital Amstalt (the “Seller”), 8464081 Canada (the “Purchaser”) and the Company, the parties agreed to the following:

·  
Purchaser has the right to nominate and appoint to the Board at least 50% of the Board members;

·  
Purchaser has a right of first refusal to participate in future financings up to its pro rata share of Common Stock of the Company.

·  
Purchaser undertakes to provide the Company with sufficient capital to allow the Company to conduct its business and remain a going concern until December 31, 2013, subject to further agreements between the Company and Purchaser.  All such funding will be provided through equity transactions and will not be funded via debt.

This transaction resulted in the Purchaser, namely, 8464081 Canada Inc., acquiring control of the Company through its acquisition of Warrants to purchase 104,333,335 shares of Common Stock exercisable at $.009 per share (which exercise price was later lowered to $.009 per share) and its acquisition of secured debt in the principal amount of $1,267,770.07, which together with accrued interest thereon, was convertible at $.009 per share. The Purchaser paid Seller approximately $1.82 million to acquire control of the Company, including giving Seller a promissory note in the amount of $400,000, which note was due on August 31, 2013 and has been paid.

The options are for 5 years and are fully-vested, non-statutory stock options. The options to purchase 500,000 shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock, effective March 25, 2014, at an exercise price of $0.02 per share were granted to the following persons: Michael J.

(7)         Income Taxes
 
The Company incurred a net operating loss in the current quarter but has realized net income in various prior periods presented.   Due to the deferred tax attributes of the derivatives and a deferred tax asset from prior periods, which was fully allowed for, no income tax benefit or expense has been presented.  Any tax liability associated with the gain was offset by the deferred tax assets and changing in the valuation allowance on those tax assets.
 
(8)         Commitments and Contingencies
 
Office Lease
 
We do not own any real estate properties. BlastGard entered into a lease agreement in January 1, 2009 for office space in Clearwater Florida, which was expanded to two offices in 2011 to accommodate HighCom Security. In 2012, BlastGard moved into a larger office space. Rental payment under the new lease is $373 per month on a month to month basis.

HighCom leases office and manufacturing space in Columbus, Ohio. In February 2011, the Company entered into a six month lease agreement for approximately 11,200 square feet of office and warehouse space in Columbus, OH. In June 2012, the Company entered into a one year lease agreement for approximately 16,200 square feet of office and warehouse space in Columbus, OH.  In June 2013, the Company entered into a three year lease agreement for approximately 24,160 square feet of office and warehouse space in Columbus, OH. Rental payment under the new lease is $6,967 per month on a month to month basis.  We believe that our HighCom facility is adequate for present requirements and suitable for the operations involved.

HighCom rents approximately 900 square feet of office space in Aurora, CO on a short-term lease expiring on May 31, 2014 at a rental of $518 per month.

Rent expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was approximately $29,063.

(9)           Prior Litigation Matter
 
Verde Partners Family Limited Partnership

On April 2, 2009, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement to settle our outstanding civil litigation. The Company will pay the sum of $125,000 over 18 months. The first monthly payment was paid within 30 days after the Defendants deliver to the Company’s counsel an original executed version of the Agreement and a promissory note in the amount of the remaining principal balance to bear interest in the amount of 6% per annum. Upon Verde’s receipt of the payment and promissory note, the parties shall jointly dismiss with prejudice all litigation between them, including the Pinellas County action and the Federal action. The company and Verde also entered into a license agreement whereby BlastGard obtains a fully paid up non-exclusive license for the 2 Verde patents for the remaining life of those patents in exchange for the Company paying Verde a 2% royalty for the life of the patents (which expired in the 2nd quarter of 2012), on the sales price received by BlastGard for BlastGard’s portion of all blast mitigation products sold by the company (the royalty was not on any third-party’s portion of any product containing blast mitigation products sold by BlastGard). The parties also agreed not to file any complaints with any state, federal or international agency or disciplinary body regarding any of the other parties or any person affiliated with any of the other parties or otherwise makes negative statements about them (in other words, a broad non-disparagement clause). The company and Verde also signed mutual general releases (excepting the obligations above) and a covenant not to sue.  At March 31, 2014, the Company was in arrears on the final twelve monthly payments on the settlement.

Results of Operations
 
For the quarter ended March 31, 2014, we recognized revenues of $521,717 as compared to $357,140 for the comparable period of the prior year. During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, revenues included $2,278 from the sales of our proprietary BlastWrap product.
 
For the quarter ended March 31, 2014, gross profit was $312,322 as compared to a gross profit of $128,206 for the comparable period of the prior year. The improved gross profit is due to improved margins as a result of lower material costs and operational efficiencies.
 
During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, the Company’s operating costs $449,590 as compared to was $282,695 for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, and included $99,919 of stock based compensation from the issuance and vesting of options during the quarter.
 
During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, total other income (expense) was $1,432,016.  This included a gain of $1,470,049 on derivative liability, and interest expense of $38,033. The derivative liability was the result of the Company’s stock decreasing in value versus the value of the Company’s outstanding warrants which is based on the $.009 strike price. Thus, the warrants “derive” their value from BlastGard’s stock price. For this quarter, the lower strike price on the warrants resulted in an increased derivative liability.
 
For the quarter ended March 31, 2013, total other income (expense) was $(816,036). This included losses of $729,327 on derivative liability and interest expense of $152,236 offset by $65,527 of gains from negotiated settlements on accounts payable. The derivative liability was the result of the Company’s stock increasing in value versus the value of the Company’s outstanding warrants which is based on the $.009 strike price. Thus, the warrants “derive” their value from BlastGard’s stock price. For this quarter, the lower strike price on the warrants resulted in a decreased derivative liability.
 
Backlog of Sales
 
As of March 31, 2014, the Company had a backlog of sales believed to be in the amount of $250,000, all of which are expected to be delivered in the second quarter of 2014. Management is optimistic that additional sales of the Company’s HighCom products will continue in the second quarter and in future operating periods as the Company has bid on numerous sizeable contracts.
 
Background of Secured Financings of BlastGard and Conversion into Common Stock
 
Alpha Capital Anstalt, a secured debt holder which first loaned us money in December 2004, loaned us $160,000 in February 2011, an additional $300,000 in March 2011, an additional $300,000 in June 2011 and an additional $500,000 in November 2011 pursuant to secured convertible promissory notes. At December 31, 2012, the Company owed $1,210,000 in principal (exclusive of accrued interest of $206,314.71) to Alpha Capital Anstalt after reduction of principal of approximately $50,000 which was converted into Common Stock in 2012.
 
As of March 21, 2013, the Company had outstanding $1,267,707.07 in principal debt, including accrued interest thereon owed to Alpha Capital Anstalt, pursuant to secured promissory notes (collectively the “Company Debt”). Pursuant to an amendment and consent, all of the debt owed to Alpha Capital, which was previously past due and were the subject of security agreements, guarantee and other transaction documents, to the extent outstanding, have had their maturity date extended through June 14, 2013 and their conversion price lowered from $0.010 per share to $0.009 per share.
 
 
 

 
 
On April 4, 2013, Alpha Capital Anstalt, closed on an agreement dated March 21, 2013  (the “Purchase and Exchange Agreement”) with 8464081 Canada Inc. (the “Purchaser”) to sell to the Purchaser and its assignees the Company’s Debt in the principal amount, including accrued interest thereon, of $1,267,770.07 (which excludes $182,000 of the principal due on this note that was maintained by Alpha Capital) owned by it plus warrants to purchase 104,333,335 shares (exercisable at $0.01 per share). The agreements required that within three (3) months of March 21, 2013, that the Purchaser shall convert all the notes acquired by it at the current conversion price of $0.009 per share. Alpha Capital Anstalt (the “Seller”) has also committed to convert the $182,000 of principal retained by it into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at the same conversion price. Also, the agreement required the Purchaser to offer to purchase the other December 2004 Debt for a purchase price equal to the total amount of principal and interest due on each note with a 10% premium.
 
On April 23, 2013, the aforementioned secured note holders converted their debt in the principal amount of approximately $1.451 million including accrued interest thereon into 161,269,410 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $.009 per share. Of the 161,269,410 shares, 132,426,499 shares were issued to 8464081 Canada Inc., 20,222,222 shares were issued to Alpha Capital Anstalt and 8,620,689 shares were issued to Laurentian Bank Securities ITF Robocheyne Consulting Ltd. Exemption from registration is claimed under Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
 
At December 31, 2012, the Company had outstanding other secured indebtedness borrowed in December 2004 in the amount of $125,663. At September 30, 2013, this other secured indebtedness was reduced to $32,566 as a result of the conversion of principal and accrued interest into 12,218,269 shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $.009 per share. As part of Alpha Capital Anstalt’s agreement with 8464081 Canada, 8464081 Canada is reportedly in the process of purchasing this other secured indebtedness which approximates $45,000, including accrued interest thereon, and, upon the completion of said purchase, such indebtedness will be converted into Common Stock at $.009 per share.
 
Our outstanding secured debt has mandatory redemption provisions. A large portion of the secured debt provides that in the event (i) the Company is prohibited from issuing Conversion Shares, (ii) upon the occurrence of any other Event of Default (as defined in the Transaction Documents), that continues beyond any applicable cure period, (iii) a Change in Control (as defined below) occurs, or (iv) upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company or any Subsidiary, then at the Secured Debt Holder’s  election, the Company must pay to the Secured Debt Holder not later than ten (10) days after request by such Secured Debt Holder, a sum of money determined by multiplying up to the outstanding principal amount of the Note designated by the Secured Debt Holder, at the Secured Debt Holder’s election, the greater of (i) 120%, or (ii) a fraction the numerator of which is the highest closing price of the Common Stock for the thirty days preceding the date demand is made by Secured Debt Holder and the denominator of which is the lowest applicable conversion price during such thirty (30) day period, plus accrued but unpaid interest and any other amounts due under the Transaction Documents ("Mandatory Redemption Payment"). The Mandatory Redemption Payment must be received by the Secured Debt Holder on the same date as the Conversion Shares otherwise deliverable or within ten (10) days after request, whichever is sooner ("Mandatory Redemption Payment Date"). Upon receipt of the Mandatory Redemption Payment, the corresponding Note principal, interest and other amounts will be deemed paid and no longer outstanding.  The Secured Debt Holder may rescind the election to receive a Mandatory Redemption Payment at any time until such payment is actually received.  Liquidated damages calculated that have been paid or accrued for the ten day period prior to the actual receipt of the Mandatory Redemption Payment by such Secured Debt Holder shall be credited against the Mandatory Redemption Payment provided the balance of the Mandatory Redemption Payment is timely paid. “Change in Control” is defined as  (i) the Company  becoming a Subsidiary of another entity (other than a corporation formed by the Company for purposes of reincorporation in another U.S. jurisdiction), (ii) the sale, lease or transfer of substantially all the assets of the Company or any Subsidiary, (iii) a majority of the members of the Company’s board of directors as of the Closing Date no longer serving as directors of the Company, except as a result of natural causes or as a result of hiring additional outside directors in order to meet appropriate stock exchange requirements, or (iv) Michael Gordon, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company is no longer serving as Chief Executive Officer unless prior written consent of the Secured Debt Holder had been obtained by the Company.  The foregoing notwithstanding, the Secured Debt Holder may demand and receive from the Company the amount stated above or any other greater amount which the Secured Debt Holder is entitled to receive or demand pursuant to the Transaction Documents.
 
In connection with the aforementioned loan transactions, we also issued to Alpha Capital Anstalt warrants to purchase 104,333,335 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, which warrants are currently exercisable at an exercise price of $.009 per share, which exercise price is subject to adjustment pursuant to the provisions of the warrant. In the event a fundamental transaction occurs as defined in the warrants, which includes without limitation any person or group acquiring 50% of the aggregate Common Stock of the Company, then the holder of the warrants may have the right to have the warrants redeemed at a price equal to the Black-Scholes value of said warrants. These warrants were sold by Alpha Capital to 8464081 Canada.
 
Also, pursuant to the Purchase and Exchange Agreement by and among Alpha Capital Amstalt (the “Seller”), 8464081 Canada (the “Purchaser”) and the Company, the Purchaser and the Company agreed to the following:
 
·  
Purchaser has the right to nominate and appoint to the Board at least 50% of the Board members;
 
·  
Purchaser has a right of first refusal to participate in future financings up to its pro rata share of Common Stock of the Company.
 
·  
Purchaser undertakes to provide the Company with sufficient capital to allow the Company to conduct its business and remain a going concern until December 31, 2013, subject to further agreements between the Company and Purchaser.  All such funding will be provided through equity transactions and will not be funded via debt.
 
 
 

 
 
This transaction resulted in the Purchaser, namely, 8464081 Canada Inc., acquiring control of the Company through its acquisition of Warrants to purchase 104,333,335 shares of Common Stock exercisable at $.009 per share and its acquisition of secured debt in the principal amount of $1,267,770.07, which together with accrued interest thereon, was convertible at $.009 per share. The Purchaser paid Seller approximately $1.82 million to acquire control of the Company, including giving Seller a promissory note in the amount of $400,000, which note was due on August 31, 2013, and has been paid.

Our ballistic vests, ballistic helmets and EOD bomb suits and gear are currently manufactured and private labeled by third party vendors for us. Our soft arm vests are manufactured by one of two major suppliers and they either carry the supplier brand name or the HighCom brand name. Our UN soft armor vest is co-manufactured by us with a third party vendor. Our ballistic packs are also manufactured by one of two manufacturers.

Liquidity and Capital Resources.
 
At March 31, 2014, we had cash of $81,399, working capital deficit of $(1,080,314), an accumulated deficit of $(17,236,700) and shareholder’s deficit equity of $(413,267).
 
For the quarter ending March 31, 2014, net cash used by operating activities was $67,208 primarily due to a gain on derivative, amortization of debt discount, our net income of $1,294,006, and the payment on our accounts payables and accruals. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we used cash in investing activities for purchase of property and equipment of $3,135. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, our financing activities provided a net cash of $108,489 after repayment of notes payable of $31,511.
 
For the quarter ending March 31, 2013, net cash used by operating activities was $282,362 primarily due to a loss on derivative, amortization of debt discount, our net loss of $970,503, and the payment on our accounts payables and accruals. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we used cash in investing activities for purchase of property of $451. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we used cash in financing activities of $5,413 for repayment of notes payable.
 
We anticipate that our future liquidity requirements will arise from the need to finance our accounts receivable and inventories, and from the need to fund our growth from operations, current debt obligations and capital expenditures. The primary sources of funding for such requirements are expected to be cash generated from operations and raising additional capital from the sale of equity and/or debt securities. However, we can provide no assurances that we will be able to generate sufficient cash flow from operations and/or obtain additional financing on terms satisfactory to us, if at all, to remain a going concern. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet our obligations on a timely basis and ultimately to attain profitability. The Company is attempting to obtain cash to finance its operations through the sale of equity, debt borrowing and/or through the receipt of product licensing fees. We can provide no assurances that financing will be available to us on terms satisfactory to us, if at all, or that we will be able to continue as a going concern. Further, we can provide no assurances that a mutually acceptable licensing agreement will be entered into on terms satisfactory to us, if at all. In this respect, see “Note 1 – Going Concern” in our financial statements for additional information as to the possibility that we may not be able to continue as a “going concern.”
 
To date, we have relied on management’s ability to raise capital through equity private placement financings to fund our operations. We estimate that we will require between $1.0 million and $1.5 million in additional financing and cash flow from operations to support our operations and to meet our debt obligations as they become due and payable over the next 15 months of operations. We can provide no assurances that cash generated from operations will occur or additional financing will be obtained on terms satisfactory to us, if at all, or that additional debt conversions will occur.
 
Exercise of Warrants/Reduction of Debt

On August 23, 2013, 8464081 Canada Inc. exercised warrants to purchase 28,923,342 shares of the Company’s underlying Common Stock at a reduced exercise price of $0.009 per share due to anti-dilution provisions of said warrants. After this transaction, the Purchaser has warrants remaining to purchase 75,409,993 shares (exercisable at $0.009 per share).

The Company owed approximately $435,376.00 to Fifth Third Bank which was personally guaranteed by the former CEO of HighCom. Recently 8464081 Canada Inc. purchased the Company’s note from Fifth Third Bank and took an assignment of the civil judgment on the note entered into against both HighCom and its former CEO. The indebtedness has been reduced to a civil judgment by the bank in the Ohio state court system. The net proceeds of the warrant exercise described in the preceding paragraph were utilized to release the Company from its obligations under the note.

Purchase of HighCom Security, Inc

As previously reported, on January 25, 2011, BlastGard International, Inc. ("BlastGard") entered into a binding Letter of Intent (“LOI”) with HighCom Security, Inc. (“HighCom”) under which BlastGard will acquire 100% of the common stock of HighCom from the stockholders of HighCom, none of whom are affiliates of BlastGard. HighCom is a worldwide security equipment provider based in San Francisco, California. HighCom designs, manufactures and distributes a unique range of security products and personal protective gear. BlastGard and HighCom have agreed to consummate a Stock Purchase Agreement, subject to the approval of all necessary parties, agencies or regulatory organizations. As of the signing of the agreement, BlastGard immediately assumed the operations of HighCom and started to provide financing for the operations while a definitive agreement is drawn up over the next 90 days.

As stated above, the LOI contemplated several closing conditions and the closing in escrow with a possible of rescission if the State Department does not reinstate HighCom’s export license. On March 4, 2011, among other changes the LOI was amended as follows: 1) the LOI constitutes the definitive stock purchase agreement; 2) BlastGard issued 9,820,666 shares of its Common Stock and promissory notes totaling $196,400 to Robert Rimberg as trustee for an Irrevocable Trust FBO and Yochi Cohen and his wife, Yocheved Cohen–Charash (the "Trust") in exchange for 1,150 shares of the outstanding 1,171 shares of HighCom Common Stock, equivalent to 98.2% of the outstanding shares; 3) the parties agree to waive all closing conditions, escrow provisions and right of rescission; and 4) BGI agreed for a period of 30 days to offer to purchase Ron Peled 21 shares of HighCom from him or his transferee at a cost of 179,934 shares of BGI Common Stock and in exchange for promissory notes totaling $3,600, with terms identical to those received by the Trust plus 1.8% of the Earn-out provisions contained in the LOI.
 
 
 

 
 
BlastGard also agreed to an earn-out consisting of up to $100,000 in cash and up to 35,000,000 shares of common stock based on a pro-rata basis if revenue were to reach certain goals.  BlastGard management believed that a portion of the revenue goals were very achievable and valued the contingent consideration at 68% of the market price at the time of the agreement.

As of the date of this filing, the final earn-out date of July 25, 2013 has passed, and the final calculation relative to the cash and shares earned consists of $6,308 and a total of 11,076,953 shares.  None of these items have been issued.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
During the past two years, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a number of new pronouncements, which are described in Note 1, “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” of the Notes to Financial Statements contained in our latest annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Security and Exchange commission on April 14, 2011. Reference is made to these recent accounting pronouncements as if they are set forth therein in their entirety.
 
Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
 
Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. Our primary exposure to market risk is interest rate risk associated with our short term money market investments. The Company does not have any financial instruments held for trading or other speculative purposes and does not invest in derivative financial instruments, interest rate swaps or other investments that alter interest rate exposure. The Company does not have any credit facilities with variable interest rates.
 
Item 4.
Controls and Procedures
 
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company's Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based closely on the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” in Rule 13a-15(e). In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and the Company's Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level at the end of our most recent quarter. There have been no changes in the Company's disclosure controls and procedures or in other factors that could affect the disclosure controls subsequent to the date the Company completed its evaluation. Therefore, no corrective actions were taken.
