Note 1 - Organization and Basis of Presentation

 

Organization and Principal Business Activity

 

Nxt-ID, Inc. (“Nxt-ID” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on February 8, 2012. Nxt-ID is a biometrics and authentication company focused on the growing m-commerce market with an innovative MobileBio suite of biometric solutions that secure mobile platforms. The Company also serves the access control and law enforcement facial recognition markets.

 

3D-ID, LLC (“3D-ID”) was organized and registered in the State of Florida on February 14, 2011. The Company is an early stage company engaged in the design, research and development, integration, analysis, modeling, system networking, sales and support of intelligent surveillance, three dimensional facial recognition and three dimensional imaging devices and systems primarily for identification and access control in the security industries.

  

On June 25, 2012, Nxt-ID, a company having similar ownership as 3D-ID, acquired 100% of the membership interests in 3D-ID (the “Acquisition”) in exchange for 20,000,000 shares of Nxt-ID common stock. Since this was a transaction between entities under common control, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, “Business Combinations”, Nxt-ID recognized the net assets of 3D-ID at their carrying amounts in the accounts of Nxt-ID on the date that 3D-ID was organized.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2015 and for the nine and three months then ended have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and on the same basis as the Company prepares its annual audited consolidated financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2015 and the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 are unaudited, but include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented. The results for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015 or for any future interim period. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2014 has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements. However, it does not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014, and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on March 6, 2015.

Note 2 - Going Concern and Management Plans

 

The Company is an early stage entity and incurred an operating loss of $7,525,328 and a net loss of $9,040,415 during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. As of September 30, 2015 the Company had working capital and stockholders’ equity of $282,866 and $661,618, respectively. In order to execute the Company's long-term strategic plan to develop and commercialize its core products, the Company will need to raise additional funds, through public or private equity offerings, debt financings, or other means. The Company can give no assurance that the cash raised subsequent to September 30, 2015 or any additional funds raised will be sufficient to execute its business plan. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company can give no assurance that additional funds will be available on reasonable terms, or available at all, or that it will generate sufficient revenue to alleviate these conditions. On October 21, 2015, the Company received approximately $0.9 million in net proceeds from an underwritten public offering. For more information regarding this transaction, please refer to Note 8 - Subsequent Events.

 

The Company’s ability to execute its business plan is dependent upon its ability to raise additional equity, secure debt financing, and/or generate revenue. Should the Company not be successful in obtaining the necessary financing, or generate sufficient revenue to fund its operations, the Company would need to curtail certain of its operational activities. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.  

 

Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Use of Estimates in the Financial Statements

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Nxt-ID and its wholly-owned subsidiary, 3D-ID. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory at September 30, 2015 is valued at the lower of cost or market with cost determined using the first-in, first-out method and with market defined as the lower of replacement cost or realizable value. The Company performs regular reviews of inventory quantities on hand and evaluates the realizable value of its inventories. The Company will adjust the carrying value of the inventory as necessary with estimated valuation reserves for excess, obsolete, and slow-moving inventory by comparing the individual inventory parts to forecasted product demand or production requirements. As of September 30, 2015 inventory was comprised of $1,311,486 in raw materials and $134,850 in finished goods on hand. Inventory of $359,544 at December 31, 2014 was comprised solely of raw materials. In addition, as an early stage entity, the Company is required to prepay for raw materials with certain vendors until credit terms can be established. As of September 30, 2015, $189,293 of prepayments made primarily for raw materials inventory is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service has been rendered or product delivery has occurred, the price is fixed or readily determinable and collectability of the sale is reasonably assured. The Company’s wocket® smart wallet sales comprise multiple element arrangements including both the wocket® smart wallet device itself as well as unspecified future upgrades. The Company offers to all of its end- consumer customers a period of fourteen days post the actual receipt date in which to return their wocket® smart wallet. The Company was unable to reliably estimate returns at the time shipments were made during the nine and three months ended September 30, 2015 due to the lack of return history. Accordingly, the Company has recognized revenue only on those shipments whose fourteen day return period had lapsed by September 30, 2015. The Company accrues for the estimated costs associated with the one year wocket® smart wallet warranty at the time revenue associated with the sale is recorded, and periodically updates its estimated warranty cost based on actual experience. 

 

For the nine and three months ended September 30, 2015, the Company’s revenues related to shipments of the wocket® smart wallet to customers who pre-ordered the product in 2014 as well as to those customers who ordered the product in 2015. In addition, the revenues for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2015 include two bulk sales of the wocket® smart wallet to retailers who will resell the wocket® smart wallet through their respective distribution channels. The aggregate amount of these two sales was $151,466. The terms and conditions of these sales provide the retail customers with trade credit terms. In addition, these sales were made to the retailers with no rights of return and are subject to the normal warranties offered to the ultimate consumer for product defects.

Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Convertible Instruments

 

The Company applies the accounting standards for derivatives and hedging and for distinguishing liabilities from equity when accounting for hybrid contracts that feature conversion options. The accounting standards require companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments according to certain criteria. The criteria includes circumstances in which (i) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (ii) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (iii) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument.

 

The derivative is subsequently marked to market at each reporting date based on current fair value, with the changes in fair value reported in the results of operations.

 

Conversion options that contain variable settlement features such as provisions to adjust the conversion price upon subsequent issuances of equity or equity linked securities at exercise prices more favorable than that featured in the hybrid contract generally result in their bifurcation from the host instrument.

 

The Company accounts for convertible debt instruments when the Company has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments in accordance with ASC 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options”. The Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt. See Note 4.

 

Debt discount and amortization of debt discount

 

The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature arising from the issuance of the convertible notes that are in-the-money at the commitment date is recorded as debt discount. The intrinsic value of a beneficial conversion feature is determined after initially allocating a portion of the proceeds received from the sale of the convertible notes to any detachable instruments, such as warrants, included in the sale of exchange based on relative fair values. The debt discount is amortized over the earlier of (i) the term of the debt or (ii) conversion of the debt. The amortization of debt discount is included as a component of interest expense included in other income and expenses in the accompanying statements of operations.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes”. Under this method, income tax expense is recognized for the amount of: (i) taxes payable or refundable for the current year; and (ii) deferred tax consequences of temporary differences resulting from matters that have been recognized in an entity's financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if based on the weight of the available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

ASC Topic 740-10-30 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC Topic 740-10-40 provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The Company will classify as income tax expense any interest and penalties. The Company has no material uncertain tax positions for any of the reporting periods presented. Generally, the tax authorities may examine the partnership/corporate tax returns for three years from the date of filing. The Company has filed all of its tax returns for all prior periods through December 31, 2014. As a result, the Company’s net operating loss carryovers will now be available to offset any future taxable income.

Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for share-based awards exchanged for employee services at the estimated grant date fair value of the award. The Company generally amortizes the employee stock-based compensation over the vesting period. The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to non-employees at their fair value on the measurement date. The measurement of stock-based compensation is subject to periodic adjustment as the underlying equity instrument vests or becomes non-forfeitable. Non-employee stock-based compensation charges are amortized over the vesting period or as earned.

 

Net Loss per Share

 

Basic loss per share was computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per share includes the effect of diluted common stock equivalents. Potentially dilutive securities realizable from the conversion of convertible notes and related accrued interest and from the exercise of 5,102,990 warrants as of September 30, 2015, were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. As of September 30, 2014, potentially dilutive securities realizable from the exercise of 3,629,776 warrants were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development costs consist of expenditures incurred during the course of planned research and investigation aimed at the discovery of new knowledge, which will be useful in developing new products or processes. The Company expenses all research and development costs as incurred.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), which stipulates that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for such goods or services. To achieve this core principle, an entity should apply the following steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract(s); (3) determine the transaction price(s); (4) allocate the transaction price(s) to the performance obligations in the contract(s); and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The guidance also requires advanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers. The required effective date for adoption of ASU 2014-09 has been deferred to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted for periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The new revenue standards may be applied retrospectively to each period presented or with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of initial application. The Company is currently evaluating ASU 2014-09.

 

The FASB recently issued Accounting Standards Update No. ASU 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory (“ASU 2015-11”) that changes the measurement principle for inventory from the lower of cost or market to lower of cost and net realizable value. ASU 2015-11 is effective for inventory measurements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating ASU 2015-11. 

 

In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update ASU No. 2015-03 Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) - Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (“ASU No. 2015-13”). ASU 2015-03 is effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. ASU 2015-03 simplifies financial reporting by eliminating the different presentation requirements for debt issuance costs and debt discounts or premiums. The adoption of this standard, which will be applied retrospectively, will not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations.

Note 4 - Convertible Notes Payable

 

July 2015 Convertible Note 

 

On July 27, 2015, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with an accredited investor pursuant to which the Company sold an aggregate of $222,222 in principal amount of the 8% Convertible Notes for an aggregate purchase price of $200,000. The Company received net proceeds of $200,000 from the sale of the 8% Convertible Notes. The 8% Convertible Notes matured on September 11, 2015 (the “Maturity Date”), less any amounts converted or redeemed prior to the Maturity Date. The 8% Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 8% per annum, subject to increase to the lesser of 24% per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law upon the occurrence of certain events of default. The 8% Convertible Notes were convertible at any time, in whole or in part, at the option of the holders into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $3.50 per share, which was subject to adjustment for stock dividends, stock splits, combinations or similar events. The Company was able to prepay in cash any portion of the principal amount of the 8% Convertible Notes and any accrued and unpaid interest. If such prepayment was made within sixty (60) days after the issuance date of the 8% Convertible Notes, the Company would pay an amount in cash equal to 109% of the sum of the then outstanding principal amount of the note and interest; thereafter, if such prepayment was made, the Company would pay an amount in cash equal to 114% of the sum of the then outstanding principal amount of the note and interest. In the event the Company effects a registered offering either utilizing Form S-1 or Form S-3 (a “Registered Offering”), the Holder would have the right to convert the entire amount of the purchase price into such Registered Offering. On August 4, 2015, the Company closed a Registered Offering and the holder of the 8% Convertible Notes elected to convert the entire purchase price amount into common shares. The conversion price used to convert the entire purchase price into common stock was equivalent to the equity offering price of $1.75 on August 4, 2015 and not the conversion price of $3.50 stipulated in the securities purchase agreement. As a result of the change in the conversion price, the Company recorded additional inducement expense of $100,000 in three months ended September 30, 2015.

 

April 2015 Private Placement

 

On April 24, 2015, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “April Purchase Agreement”) with a group of accredited investors (the “April Purchasers”) pursuant to which the Company sold to such purchasers an aggregate of $1,575,000 principal amount of secured convertible notes (the “Convertible Notes”), a Class A Common Stock Purchase Warrant (the “Class A Warrant”) to purchase up to 468,749 shares of the Company’s common stock and a Class B Common Stock Purchase Warrant (the “Class B Warrant,” and together with the Class A Warrant, the “April Warrants”) to purchase up to 468,749 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Convertible Notes bear interest at 6% per annum and are convertible at any time, in whole or in part, at the option of the holders into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $2.52 per share. The April Warrants are exercisable beginning six (6) months after issuance through the fifth (5^th) anniversary of such initial exercisability date. The Class A Warrant has an initial exercise price equal to $3.02 per share and the Class B Warrant has an initial exercise price equal to $5.00 per share. The Company received cash proceeds of $1,481,500 from the issuance of the Convertible Notes after deducting debt issuance costs of $93,500.

 

The Company recorded a debt discount of $1,575,000 related to the sale of the Convertible Notes and the April Warrants. The debt discount reflects the underlying fair value of the April Warrants of approximately $860,000 on the date of the transaction and a beneficial conversion charge of approximately $715,000. The debt discount will be amortized to interest expense over the earlier of (i) term of the Convertible Notes or (ii) conversion of the debt. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company amortized $690,411 of the debt discount as a component of interest expense in the accompanying statements of operations.

 

In connection with the sale of the Convertible Notes and April Warrants, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement, dated April 24, 2015 (the “April Registration Rights Agreement”), with the April Purchasers, pursuant to which the Company agreed to register the shares of common stock underlying the Convertible Notes and Warrants on a Form S-3 registration statement to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission within ten (10) business days after the date of the issuance of the Convertible Notes and April Warrants (the “April Filing Date”) and to cause the April Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) within ninety (90) days following the April Filing Date. If certain of its obligations under the April Registration Rights Agreement are not met, the Company is required to pay partial liquidated damages to each April Purchaser. On May 8, 2015, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC to register the shares issuable upon the conversion of the Convertible Notes, the related accrued interest and the exercise of the April Warrants. Such registration statement was declared effective with the SEC on May 14, 2015. 

 

In connection with the sale of the Convertible Notes and the April Warrants, the Company entered into a security agreement, dated April 24, 2015 (the “April Security Agreement”), between the Company, 3D-ID and the collateral agent thereto. Pursuant to the Security Agreement, the April Purchasers were granted a security interest in certain personal property of the Company and 3D-ID to secure the payment and performance of all obligations of the Company and 3D-ID under the Convertible Notes, April Warrants, April Purchase Agreement, April Registration Rights Agreement and April Security Agreement. In addition, in connection with the Security Agreement, 3D-ID executed a subsidiary guaranty, pursuant to which it agreed to guarantee and act as surety for payment of the Convertible Notes and other obligations of the Company under the April Warrants, April Purchase Agreement, April Registration Rights Agreement and April Security Agreement.

Note 4 - Convertible Notes Payable (continued)

 

Connecticut Innovations, Inc. Private Placement

 

On December 13, 2012, the Company received approval from Connecticut Innovations, Inc. (“CII”) for a Convertible Note (the “Note”) in the amount of $150,000. The Company received the first tranche of $75,000 on December 21, 2012, and the second tranche of $75,000 on January 31, 2013. The Note’s maturity date was December 21, 2014.  

 

The Company received notice on February 11, 2014 from CII regarding converting the Note, along with accrued interest of $21,485, into common stock at a 25% discount to the Company’s closing stock price on February 17, 2014. Since February 17, 2014 was a holiday the Company used its closing stock price on February 18, 2014 to determine the number of shares issued to CII resulting from the conversion. The Company issued 55,497 shares in full relief of its outstanding debt and accrued interest of $171,485.

 

Since the Note was converted on February 18, 2014, the Company re-measured the conversion feature liability associated with the convertible note payable on that date. The Company recorded an unrealized gain on the change in the fair value of the conversion feature liability of $20,218 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 (See Note 6) and reclassified the re-measured conversion feature of $98,722 to additional paid-in capital. Since the Note was converted the remaining unamortized portion of the debt discount of $26,755 was expensed during the six months ended June 30, 2014.

 

Note 5 - Derivative Liabilities

 

During 2014, the derivative liabilities were valued using the Black-Scholes option valuation model and the following weighted average assumptions on the following dates:

 

		February 21, 2014				February 18, 2014				January 13, 2014
Embedded Conversion Feature and Warrant Liability:
Risk-free interest rate			1.52	%			0.10	%			1.60	%
Expected volatility			105.36	%			105.36	%			123.54	%
Expected life (in years)			4.88				0.75				5.00
Expected dividend yield			-				-				-
Number of shares			1,391,539				55,497				941,539
Fair value		$	4,589,734			$	98,722			$	3,450,976

 

The risk-free interest rate was based on rates established by the Federal Reserve. Since the Company’s stock has not been publicly traded for a sufficiently long period of time, the Company is utilizing an expected volatility figure based on a review of the historical volatilities, over a period of time, equivalent to the expected life of the instrument being valued, of similarly positioned public companies within its industry. The expected life of the conversion feature was determined by the maturity date of the Note and the expected life of the warrants was determined by their expiration dates. The expected dividend yield was based upon the fact that the Company has not historically paid dividends on its common stock, and does not expect to pay dividends on its common stock in the future.

 

Fair Value Measurement

 

The carrying amounts of cash, inventory, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to their short maturities. The Company’s other financial instruments include its convertible notes payable obligations. The carrying value of these instruments approximate fair value, as they bear terms and conditions comparable to market, for obligations with similar terms and maturities. The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on 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 the measurement date. The Company maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

Note 6 - Stockholders' Equity

 

January 2014 Private Placement

 

On January 13, 2014, the Company closed a “best efforts” private offering of $1,000,000 (the “Offering”) with a group of accredited investors (the “Purchasers”) and the Company exercised the over-subscription amount allowed in the Offering of $350,000, for total gross proceeds to the Company of $1,350,000 before deducting placement agent fees and other expenses. Pursuant to a securities purchase agreement with the Purchasers (the “Purchase Agreement”), the Company issued to the Purchasers (i) 415,387 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share and (ii) warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase 1,350,000 shares (the “Warrant Shares”) of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $3.25 per share. In connection with the Offering, 138,463 units were sold at the end of December 2013 and 276,924 units were sold in January 2014, all at $3.25 per unit. As a result, the Company received aggregate gross proceeds of $450,000 in December 2013 from the issuance of 138,463 shares of common stock and 450,000 Warrants, and the Company received $900,000 in January 2014 from the issuance of 276,924 shares of common stock and 900,000 Warrants. Costs incurred associated with the Offering in December 2013 and January 2014 was $56,820 and $100,006, respectively. In January 2014, the placement agent received 41,539 Warrants to purchase 41,539 shares of the Company’s common stock as fees.

 

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company’s founders who are members of management (the “Founders”) agreed to cancel a corresponding number of shares of common stock to those shares of common stock issued in the Offering and place in escrow a corresponding number of shares to be cancelled for each Warrant Share issued. As a result, the Founders retired 138,463 and 276,924 shares of common stock in December 2013 and January 2014, respectively.

 

The Warrants are exercisable for a period of five (5) years from the original issue date. The initial exercise price with respect to the Warrants was $3.25 per share. On the date of issuance, the Warrants were recognized as derivative liabilities as they did not have fixed settlement provisions because their exercise prices could be lowered if the Company was to issue securities at a lower price in the future. As a result, the Company recorded $3,450,976 as derivative liability warrants on the consolidated balance sheet on January 13, 2014.

 

On February 21, 2014, the Company amended the terms of the 1,391,539 Warrants issued in the Offering as compensation to the placement agent to eliminate the anti-dilution provision and to lower the exercise price of the Warrants from $3.25 to $3.00. As a result of the Warrant modifications, the Company re-measured the Warrant liability on the modification date and recorded an unrealized gain on derivative liabilities of $448,072 and reclassified the aggregate re-measured value of the Warrants of $4,514,772 to additional paid-in capital. See Note 5 above.

The exercise price for the August Warrants is subject to adjustment upon certain events, such as stock splits, combinations, dividends, distributions, reclassifications, mergers, or other corporate changes and dilutive issuances.

 

In connection with the issuance of the August Warrants, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement with the August Purchasers pursuant to which the Company agreed to register the August Shares and all of the shares of common stock then issued to the August Purchasers on a Form S-1 registration statement (the “August Registration Statement”) to be filed with the SEC ninety (90) days following the Filing Date and to cause the August Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act by the Required Effective Date.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2015 should be read together with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this quarterly report. Certain accounting policies and estimates are particularly important to the understanding of our financial position and results of operations and require the application of significant judgment by our management or can be materially affected by changes from period to period in economic factors or conditions that are outside of our control.

Overview

 

We are an early stage technology company that is focused on developing and marketing products, solutions, and services for organizations that have a need for biometric secure access control. We have three distinct lines of business that we are currently pursuing: law enforcement; m-commerce; and biometric access control applications. Our initial efforts focused on our secure products offering for law enforcement, the Department of Defense, and Homeland Security through our 3D FaceMatch® biometric identification systems. In parallel we have developed a secure biometric electronic smart wallet, the wocket® smart wallet, for the growing m-commerce market. We believe that the wocket® smart wallet constitutes unique technology because it takes a very different approach relative to the current offerings, instead of replacing the wallet through a smartphone, our aim is to improve it. We believe that our wocket® smart wallet  will reduce the number of cards carried in a consumer’s wallet while supporting most payment methods currently available at point of sale at retailers around the world, including magnetic stripe, barcodes and Quick Response (QR) Codes and in the near future near field communications, all within a secure biometric vault. We have also recently launched a new biometric authentication product named Voicematch®. This product is a new method of recognizing both the voice of speakers and specific words they use providing innovative multi-factor recognition that is efficient enough to run on low-power devices.

 

Using our biometrics technologies, we plan to address the growing m-commerce market with our innovative MobileBio suite of biometric solutions that secure mobile platforms. Currently, most mobile devices continue to be protected simply by questions that a user asks and PIN numbers. This security methodology is easily duplicated on another device and can be easily spoofed or hacked. Nxt-ID’s biometric security paradigm is Dynamic Pairing Codes (DPCs). DPCs are a new, proprietary method to secure users, devices, accounts, locations and servers over any communication media by sharing key identifiers, including biometric-enabled identifiers, between end-points by passing DPCs (random numbers) between end-points to establish sessions and/or transactions without exposing identifiers or keys. Our plan also anticipates that we will use our core biometric algorithms to develop a security application that can be used for corporations (industrial uses, such as enterprise computer networks), as well as individuals (consumer uses, such as smart phones, tablets, or personal computers). We started limited shipments of the wocket® smart wallet in March 2015 and we shipped the majority of our pre orders in the second quarter of 2015. Having shipped our pre-orders, the revenue in the third quarter of 2015 represents new orders received since the launch of wocket® smart wallet. In the fourth quarter of 2015 we anticipate continued rollout of the wocket® smart wallet to both third party retail customers as well as direct to consumers.

 

To date, our operations have been funded primarily through sales of our common stock, exercises of warrants into common stock, the issuance of convertible notes, and deposits and sales resulting from orders received of the wocket® smart wallet. Our financial statements contemplate the continuation of our business as a going concern. However, we are subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with an emerging growth company. As noted above we have no established source of capital and we have incurred losses from operations since inception. These matters raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

   

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

We have expanded our critical accounting policies to include the following, which have increased relevance as we shipped most of the 2014 pre orders in the second quarter of 2015.

 

Revenue Recognition 

 

The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service has been rendered or product delivery has occurred, the price is fixed or readily determinable and collectability of the sale is reasonably assured. The Company’s wocket® smart wallet sales comprise multiple element arrangements including both the wocket® smart wallet device itself as well as unspecified future upgrades. Determination of the elements to be accounted and the values attributable to revenue elements for which vendor specific objective or third party evidence are not available requires significant judgment. The Company offers to all its customers a period of fourteen days post the actual receipt date in which to return their wocket® smart wallet. Determination of whether returns may be reliably estimated is also a matter of significant judgment that impacts the timing of revenue recognition. The Company was unable to reliably estimate returns at the time shipments were made during the nine and three months ended September 30, 2015 due to the lack of return history. Accordingly, the Company has recognized revenue only on those shipments whose fourteen day return period had lapsed by September 30, 2015.

 

For the nine and three months ended September 30, 2015, the Company’s revenues relate to shipments of the wocket® smart wallet to customers who pre-ordered the product in 2014 as well as those customers who ordered the product in 2015. In addition, the revenues for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2015 include two bulk sales of the wocket® smart wallet to retailers who will resell the wocket® smart wallet through their respective distribution channels. The aggregate amount of these two sales was $151,466. The terms and conditions of these sales provide the retail customers with trade credit terms. In addition, these sales were made to the retailers with no rights of return and are subject to the normal warranties offered to the ultimate consumer for product defects.

 

Warranty Costs

 

The Company’s product is sold with a one-year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. The Company accrues for the estimated costs associated with the one year wocket® smart wallet warranty at the time revenue associated with the sale is recorded, and periodically updates its estimated warranty cost based on actual experience. Estimating warranty costs requires significant judgment. To date, warranty claims have been inconsequential and the Company estimates any such claims against sales made to date will be immaterial. Accordingly, no accrual for warranty costs has been recorded at September 30, 2015. 

 

Inventory

 

The Company performs regular reviews of inventory quantities on hand and evaluates the realizable value of its inventories. The Company will adjust the carrying value of the inventory as necessary with estimated valuation reserves for excess, obsolete, and slow-moving inventory by comparing the individual inventory parts to forecasted product demand or production requirements.

 

 

Results of Operations

 

Comparison of nine and three months ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014

 

Revenue. The Company had revenues of $533,529 and $418,128, respectively, during the nine and three months ended September 30, 2015 and no revenues during the nine and three months ended September 30, 2014. Our revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 are related to the shipments of the wocket® smart wallet to our early access pre-order customers as well as new customer orders placed in 2015. In addition, the revenues for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2015 include two bulk sales of the wocket® smart wallet to retail customers who will resell the wocket® smart wallet through their respective distribution channels. The aggregate dollar amount of these two sales was $151,466. The selling price per unit as it relates to these two bulk sales was considerably lower than our direct selling price to our individual customers which negatively impacted our gross profit margin. Wocket® smart wallet sales for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2015 were comprised of wocket® smart wallet sales to both individual and retail customers. The sales prices to the retail customers were significantly discounted in order to accelerate product awareness and adoption of the wocket® smart wallet. We expect this trend to continue through the fourth quarter of 2015 but thereafter we are anticipating positive gross margins resulting from higher average selling prices. In addition, we expect lower product cost prospectively, resulting from higher production yields from our inventory suppliers.

 

Cost of Revenue. Our cost of revenue for these shipments to our customers is not reflective of our expected cost of revenues as we increase the quantity of product delivered.

Also included is $410,225 in non-cash stock compensation to consultants, employees and board members.

 

The increase in expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014, is due to an increase in research and development expenses relating to the development of the wocket® smart wallet and improving and updating the Company’s 3D facial recognition systems, as well as an increase in advertising and promotional expenses, increased professional fees relating to consultants, increased ongoing expenses related to being a publicly traded company, and the addition of sales and marketing related staff for sales of the Company’s product.

   

 

Net Loss. The net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $9,040,415 and resulted primarily from $7,357,397 of operational expenses incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Also during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company incurred inducement expense of $755,000 related to the Waiver Agreement that was entered into on April 23, 2015 and the change in the conversion price related to the 8% Convertible Notes issued on July 27, 2015, and interest expense of $760,782 resulting from interest on the convertible notes and the amortization of both the convertible note discount and the deferred debt issuance costs stemming from the issuance of the Convertible Notes on April 24, 2015.

The Company can give no assurance that the cash raised subsequent to September 30, 2015, or any additional funds raised, will be sufficient to execute its business plan. Additionally, the Company can give no assurance that additional funds will be available on reasonable terms, or available at all, or that it will generate sufficient revenue to alleviate the going concern. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

  

 

April 2015 Private Placement

 

On April 24, 2015, the Company entered into the April Purchase Agreement with the April Purchasers pursuant to which the Company sold to such purchasers an aggregate of $1,575,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes, a Class A Warrant to purchase up to 468,749 shares of the Company’s common stock and a Class B Warrant to purchase up to 468,749 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Convertible Notes bear interest at 6% per annum and are convertible at any time, in whole or in part, at the option of the holders into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $2.52 per share. The Class A Warrant and Class B Warrant are exercisable beginning six (6) months after issuance through the fifth (5^th) anniversary of such initial exercisability date. The Class A Warrant has an initial exercise price equal to $3.02 per share and the Class B Warrant has an initial exercise price equal to $5.00 per share.

 

The Company received cash proceeds of $1,481,500 from issuance of the Convertible Notes after deducting debt issuance costs of $93,500.

 

In connection with the sale of the Convertible Notes and the April Warrants, the Company entered into the April Security Agreement, between the Company, 3D-ID and the collateral agent thereto. Pursuant to the Security Agreement, the April Purchasers were granted a security interest in certain personal property of the Company and 3D-ID to secure the payment and performance of all obligations of the Company and 3D-ID under the Convertible Notes, April Warrants, April Purchase Agreement, April Registration Rights Agreement and April Security Agreement. In addition, in connection with the Security Agreement, 3D-ID executed a subsidiary guaranty, pursuant to which it agreed to guarantee and act as surety for payment of the Convertible Notes and other obligations of the Company under the April Warrants, April Purchase Agreement, April Registration Rights Agreement and April Security Agreement.

 

July 2015 Private Placement

 

On July 27, 2015, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with an accredited investor pursuant to which the Company sold an aggregate of $222,222 in principal amount of the 8% Original Issue Discount Convertible Notes (the “8% Convertible Notes”) for an aggregate purchase price of $200,000. The Company received net proceeds of $200,000 from the sale of the 8% Convertible Notes. The 8% Convertible Notes will mature on September 11, 2015 (the “Maturity Date”), less any amounts converted or redeemed prior to the Maturity Date. The 8% Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 8% per annum, subject to increase to the lesser of 24% per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law upon the occurrence of certain events of default. The 8% Convertible Notes are convertible at any time, in whole or in part, at the option of the holders into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $3.50 per share, which is subject to adjustment for stock dividends, stock splits, combinations or similar events. The Company may prepay in cash any portion of the principal amount of the 8% Convertible Notes and any accrued and unpaid interest. If such prepayment is made within sixty (60) days after the issuance date of the 8% Convertible Notes, the Company shall pay an amount in cash equal to 109% of the sum of the then outstanding principal amount of the note and interest; thereafter, if such prepayment is made, the Company shall pay an amount in cash equal to 114% of the sum of the then outstanding principal amount of the note and interest. In the event the Company effects a registered offering either utilizing Form S-1 or Form S-3 (a “Registered Offering”), the Holder shall have the right to convert the entire amount of the purchase price into such Registered Offering. On August 4, 2015, the Company closed a Registered Offering and the Holder elected to convert the entire amount of the purchase price into the Registered Offering. The conversion price used to convert the entire purchase price into common stock was equivalent to the equity offering price of $1.75 on August 4, 2015 and not the conversion price of $3.50 stipulated in the securities purchase agreement. As a result of the change in the conversion price, the Company recorded additional inducement expense of $100,000 in three months ended September 30, 2015.

 

August 2015 Public Offering and Private Placement

 

On August 4, 2015, the Company closed on an equity offering comprised of a public offering of 1,721,429 shares of its common stock and a private placement of warrants to purchase 860,716 shares of common stock. The offering was priced at $1.75 for each share of common stock and ½ warrant, inclusive. The Company received approximately $2.5 million in net proceeds from the public offering, after deducting placement agent fees and offering related expenses. Each warrant is initially exercisable on the six (6) month anniversary of the issuance date at an initial exercise price equal to $2.35 per share and has a term of exercise equal to five (5) years from the date on which first exercisable. Subject to limited exceptions, a holder of warrants will not have the right to exercise any portion of its warrants if the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise.

  

Northland Securities, Inc. acted as the exclusive placement agent for both offerings. The Benchmark Company also acted as an advisor to the Company for both offerings.

 

 

Subsequent Events

 

October 2015 Public Offering and Private Placement

 

On October 21, 2015, the Company closed an underwritten public offering of 1,500,000 shares its common stock at a price to the public of $0.70 per share. The Company received approximately $0.9 million in net proceeds from the public offering, after deducting underwriting commissions and fees and related offering expenses. Aegis Capital Corp. was the sole book-running manager for the offering.

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. In addition, we do not have any undisclosed borrowings or debt, and we have not entered into any synthetic leases. We are, therefore, not materially exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.

  

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), which stipulates that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for such goods or services. To achieve this core principle, an entity should apply the following steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract(s); (3) determine the transaction price(s); (4) allocate the transaction price(s) to the performance obligations in the contract(s); and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The guidance also requires advanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers. The required effective date for adoption of ASU 2014-09 has been deferred to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted for periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The new revenue standards may be applied retrospectively to each period presented or with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of initial application. The Company is currently evaluating ASU 2014-09.

 

The FASB recently issued Accounting Standards Update No. ASU 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory (“ASU 2015-11”), that changes the measurement principle for inventory from the lower of cost or market to lower of cost and net realizable value. ASU 2015-11 is effective for inventory measurements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating ASU 2015-11. 

 

In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update ASU No. 2015-03 Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) - Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (“ASU No. 2015-13”). ASU 2015-03 is effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. ASU 2015-03 simplifies financial reporting by eliminating the different presentation requirements for debt issuance costs and debt discounts or premiums. The adoption of this standard which will be applied retrospectively, will not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations.

 

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

We are not required to provide the information required by this Item since we are a smaller reporting company, as defined in rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”).

 

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As of September 30, 2015, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. As discussed below, management has concluded that as of September 30, 2015, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

 

As of September 30, 2015, we identified certain matters that constituted a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting. Specifically, we have limited segregation of duties within our accounting and financial reporting functions. Segregation of duties within our Company is limited due to the small number of employees that are assigned to positions that involve the processing of financial information. Additional time is required to expand our staff, fully document our systems, implement control procedures and test their operating effectiveness before we can definitively conclude that we have remediated our material weakness.

 

Changes in Internal Controls

 

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Limitations of the Effectiveness of Control

 

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations of any control system, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within a company have been detected.

 

 

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

From time to time, the Company is subject to legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Such matters are subject to uncertainties and outcomes are not predictable with assurance. Management believes at this time, there are no ongoing matters that will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

 

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
