NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
 
NOTE 1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS
 
Overview
 
As used in this Report, “we”, “us”, “our”, “ImageWare”, “ImageWare Systems” or the “Company” refers to ImageWare Systems, Inc. and all of its subsidiaries. ImageWare Systems, Inc. is incorporated in the state of Delaware. The Company is a pioneer and leader in the emerging market for biometrically enabled software-based identity management solutions. Using those human characteristics that are unique to us all, the Company creates software that provides a highly reliable indication of a person’s identity. The Company’s “flagship” product is the patented IWS Biometric Engine®. The Company’s products are used to manage and issue secure credentials, including national IDs, passports, driver licenses and access control credentials. The Company’s products also provide law enforcement with integrated mug shot, fingerprint LiveScan and investigative capabilities. The Company also provides comprehensive authentication security software using biometrics to secure physical and logical access to facilities or computer networks or internet sites. Biometric technology is now an integral part of all markets the Company addresses, and all the products are integrated into the IWS Biometric Engine. 
 
Liquidity, Going Concern and Management’s Plan
 
Historically, our principal sources of cash have included customer payments from the sale of our products, proceeds from the issuance of common and preferred stock and proceeds from the issuance of debt. Our principal uses of cash have included cash used in operations, product development, and payments relating to purchases of property and equipment. We expect that our principal uses of cash in the future will be for product development, including customization of identity management products for enterprise and consumer applications, further development of intellectual property, development of Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) capabilities for existing products as well as general working capital and capital expenditure requirements. Management expects that, as our revenue grows, our sales and marketing and research and development expense will continue to grow, albeit at a slower rate and, as a result, we will need to generate significant net revenue to achieve and sustain positive cash flows from operations. Historically the Company has not been able to generate sufficient net revenue to achieve and sustain positive cash flows from operations and management has determined that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
 
Related Party Financings
 
On February 12, 2020, the Company entered into a factoring agreement with a member of the Company’s Board of Directors for $350,000. Such amount is to be repaid with the proceeds from certain of the Company’s trade accounts receivable approximating $500,000 and were due no later than 21 days after February 12, 2020. As of June 25, 2020, despite collection of the Company’s trade accounts receivable, $315,000 of such amounts have not been repaid and the Company is seeking an extension from the Board member.
 
In April 2020, the Company received an aggregate amount of $550,000 from two members of the Company’s Board of Directors. Terms of repayment are currently being negotiated between the Company and Board Members, although it is currently anticipated that the Company will issue subordinated promissory notes that will convert into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Common Stock"), at a conversion price to be agreed to by the lenders and the Company.
 
2020 Common Stock Financings
 
Triton Funds LP
 
On February 20, 2020, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Triton Purchase Agreement”) with Triton Funds LP, a Delaware limited partnership ("Triton" or the "Investor"). The Triton Purchase Agreement provides the Company the right to sell to Triton, and Triton is obligated to purchase, up to $2.0 million worth of shares of the Company's Common Stock under the Triton Purchase Agreement (the "Offering”). Pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Triton Purchase Agreement, the purchase price of the Common Stock will be based on the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the amount in U.S. Dollars that the Company intends to sell to the Investor to be set forth in each written notice sent to the Investor by the Company (the "Purchase Notice") and delivered to the Investor (the "Purchase Notice Amount"), divided by the lowest daily volume weighted average price of the Company's Common stock listed on the OTC Markets during the five business days prior to closing (the "Purchased Shares"). The Closing of the purchase of the Purchased Shares as set forth in the Purchase Notice will occur no later than three business days following receipt of the Purchased Shares by the Investor.
 
In February and March of 2020, the Company sold, and Triton purchased, an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock for cash. In February, the Company sold 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock for $0.16 per share resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of $640,000. In March 2020, the Company sold 6,000,000 shares of Common Stock resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of $765,000, or a per share purchase price of $0.13 per share. Proceeds from the March 2020 sale were received on April 29, 2020. Aggregate net proceeds from this financing approximated $1,387,000 after recognition of direct offering costs.
 
As prescribed by ASC topic 505, Equity, stock subscription receivable represents the purchase of Common Stock for which the Company has not yet received payment from the purchaser. As of March 31, 2020, the Company has recorded a stock subscription receivable in the amount of $765,000 in its condensed consolidated balance sheet. This amount was received by the Company on April 29, 2020.
 
 
 
 
 
Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC

On April 28, 2020, we entered into a purchase agreement, as amended on June 11, 2020 (thePurchase Agreement”), and a registration rights agreement (theRegistration Rights Agreement”) with Lincoln Park Capital fund, LLC (“Lincoln Park”) pursuant to which Lincoln Park committed to purchase up to $10,250,000 of our Common Stock.
 
Under the terms and subject to the conditions of the Purchase Agreement, including stockholder approval of an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of shares of the Company’s capital stock to 350 million shares, obtained from our shareholders effective June 9, 2020, we have the right, but not the obligation, to sell to Lincoln Park, and Lincoln Park is obligated to purchase up to $10,250,000 of shares of our Common Stock. On April 28, 2020, we sold 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement for an aggregate purchase price of $100,000 (the “Initial Purchase Shares)”. On June 11, 2020, we sold an additional 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement for an aggregate purchase price of $150,000 (the “Commencement Purchase Shares”). Future sales of Common Stock under the Purchase Agreement, if any, will be subject to certain limitations, and may occur from time to time, at our sole discretion, over the 24-month period commencing on the date that a registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, which we agreed to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (theSEC”) pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, is declared effective by the SEC and a final prospectus in connection therewith is filed and the other conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement are satisfied (such date on which all of such conditions are satisfied, theCommencement Date”).
 
After the Commencement Date, on any business day over the term of the Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right, in its sole discretion, to direct Lincoln Park to purchase up to 125,000 shares on such business day (theRegular Purchase”), subject to increases under certain circumstances as provided in the Purchase Agreement. The purchase price per share for each such Regular Purchase will be based on prevailing market prices of the Company’s Common Stock immediately preceding the time of sale as computed under the Purchase Agreement. In each case, Lincoln Park’s maximum commitment in any single Regular Purchase may not exceed $500,000. In addition to Regular Purchases, provided that the Company presents Lincoln Park with a purchase notice for the full amount allowed for a Regular Purchase, the Company may also direct Lincoln Park to make accelerated purchases and additional accelerated purchases as described in the Purchase Agreement.
 
Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, in no event may the Company issue or sell to Lincoln Park under the shares of the Company’s Common Stock under the Purchase Agreement which, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by Lincoln Park and its affiliates (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13d-3 promulgated thereunder), would result in the beneficial ownership by the Investor and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”).
 
The Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement contain customary representations, warranties, agreements and conditions and indemnification obligations of the parties. The Company has the right to terminate the Purchase Agreement at any time, at no cost or penalty. The Company issued to Lincoln Park 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock in consideration for entering into the Purchase Agreement.
 
Due to the terms of the Purchase Agreement as described above, management is not currently expecting the related proceeds from this agreement to be sufficient to sustain operations for an extended period of time.
 
CARES Act Financing
 
       On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law the “Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”). On May 4, 2020, the Company entered into a loan agreement (the “PPP Loan”) with Comerica Bank (“Comerica”) under the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”), which is part of the CARES Act administered by the United States Small Business Administration (“SBA”). As part of the application for these funds, the Company in good faith, has certified that the current economic uncertainty made the loan request necessary to support the ongoing operations of the Company. This certification further requires the Company to take into account our current business activity and our ability to access other sources of liquidity sufficient to support ongoing operations in a manner that is not significantly detrimental to the business. Under the PPP, the Company received proceeds of approximately $1,571,000, from the PPP Loan. In accordance with the requirements of the PPP, the Company intends to use proceeds from the PPP Loan primarily for payroll costs, rent and utilities. The PPP Loan has a 1.00% interest rate per annum, matures on May 4, 2022 and is subject to the terms and conditions applicable to loans administered by the SBA under the PPP. Under the terms of PPP, all or certain amounts of the PPP Loan may be forgiven if they are used for qualifying expenses as described in the CARES Act, which the Company continues to evaluate.
 
 
 
 
Going Concern
 
At March 31, 2020, we had negative working capital of approximately $4,350,000. Our principal sources of liquidity at March 31, 2020 consisted of approximately $53,000 of cash and cash equivalents.
 
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic is affecting the United States and global economies and may affect the Company's operations and those of third parties on which the Company relies. Additionally, as the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic is difficult to assess or predict, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the financial markets may reduce our ability to access capital, which could negatively impact the Company's short-term and long-term liquidity. These effects could have a material impact on the Company's liquidity, capital resources, operations and business and those of the third parties on which the Company relies.
 
Considering the financings consummated in 2020, as well as our projected cash requirements, and assuming we are unable to generate incremental revenue, our available cash will be insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements for the next twelve months from the date of this filing. At June 23, 2020, cash on hand approximated $945,000. Based on the Company’s rate of cash consumption in the first quarter of 2020 and the last quarter of 2019, the Company will need additional capital in the third quarter of 2020 and its prospects for obtaining that capital are uncertain. As a result of the Company’s historical losses and financial condition, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
 
To address our working capital requirements, management has begun instituting several cost cutting measures and may utilize cash proceeds available under the Lincoln Park facility at such time as the Company is able to register shares to be issued to Lincoln Park. Additionally, management is currently negotiating a restructuring of certain of our issued and outstanding Preferred Stock to facilitate additional equity and/or debt financing, and may seek strategic or other transactions intended to provide necessary working capital and increase shareholder value. There are currently no agreements with the holders of our issued and outstanding Preferred Stock or financing arrangements to support our projected cash shortfall, including commitments to purchase additional debt and/or equity securities, or other agreements, and no assurances can be given that we will be successful in such efforts, including our ability to raise additional debt and/or equity securities, or entering into any other transaction that addresses our ability to continue as a going concern.
 
 In view of the matters described in the preceding paragraph, recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which, in turn, is dependent upon the Company’s ability to continue to raise capital and generate positive cash flows from operations. However, the Company operates in markets that are emerging and highly competitive. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional capital, operate at a profit or generate positive cash flows in the future. Therefore, management’s plans do not alleviate the substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
 
The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
 
NOTE 2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the SEC related to a quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. The interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 as filed with the SEC on May 15, 2020.
 
Operating results for the three months ending March 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020, or any other future periods.
 
 
 
 
Significant Accounting Policies
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries are: XImage Corporation, a California Corporation; ImageWare Systems ID Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (formerly Imaging Technology Corporation); I.W. Systems Canada Company, a Nova Scotia unlimited liability company; ImageWare Digital Photography Systems, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (formerly Castleworks LLC); Digital Imaging International GmbH, a company formed under German laws; and Image Ware Mexico S de RL de CV, a company formed under Mexican laws. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
 
Operating Cycle
 
Assets and liabilities related to long-term contracts are included in current assets and current liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, although they will be liquidated in the normal course of contract completion which may take more than one operating cycle.
 
Use of Estimates
 
  The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with 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 condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Significant estimates include the evaluation of our ability to continue as a going concern, the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, deferred tax asset valuation allowances, recoverability of goodwill, assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model to calculate the fair value of share based payments, fair value of financial instruments issued with and affected by the Series C Preferred Financing, assumptions used in the application of revenue recognition policies, assumptions used in the derivation of the Company’s incremental borrowing rate used in the computation of the Company’s operating lease liabilities and assumptions used in the application of fair value methodologies to calculate the fair value of pension assets and obligations. Actual results could differ from estimates.
 
Accounts Receivable
 
In the normal course of business, the Company extends credit without collateral requirements to its customers that satisfy pre-defined credit criteria. Accounts receivable are recorded net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts receivable are considered delinquent when the due date on the invoice has passed. The Company records its allowance for doubtful accounts based upon its assessment of various factors. The Company considers historical experience, the age of the accounts receivable balances, the credit quality of its customers, current economic conditions and other factors that may affect customers’ ability to pay to determine the level of allowance required. Accounts receivable are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts when all collection efforts by the Company have been unsuccessful.
 
Inventories
 
Finished goods inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined using the average cost method, or net realizable value. See Note 4.
 
Property, Equipment and Leasehold Improvements
 
Property and equipment, consisting of furniture and equipment, are stated at cost and are being depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which generally range from three to five years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Major renewals or improvements are capitalized. When assets are sold or abandoned, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is recognized. Expenditures for leasehold improvements are capitalized. Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed using the straight-line method over the shorter of the remaining lease term or the estimated useful lives of the improvements.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expense, and deferred revenue, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities. 
 
Lease Liabilities and Operating Lease Right-of-Use Assets
 
The Company is a party to certain contractual arrangements for office space which meet the definition of leases under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 842 – Leases (“ASC 842”). In accordance with ASC 842, the Company has determined that such arrangements are operating leases and accordingly the Company has, as of January 1, 2019, recorded operating lease right-of-use assets and related lease liability for the present value of the lease payments over the lease terms using the Company’s estimated weighted-average incremental borrowing rate of approximately 14.5% using a capital asset pricing model. The Company has utilized the practical expedient regarding lease and nonlease components and has combined such items into a single combined component. The Company has also utilized the practical expedient regarding leases of twelve months or less and has excluded such leases from its computation of lease liability and related right-of-use assets. The Company has also elected the optional transition package of practical expedients which include:
 
 A package of practical expedients to not reassess:
 
Whether a contract is or contains a lease
 
Lease classification, and
 
Initial direct costs
 
Revenue Recognition
 
Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), using the modified retrospective transition method.
 
In accordance with ASC 606, revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.
 
The core principle of the standard is that we should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, we apply the following five step model:
 
1.
Identify the contract with the customer;
 
2.
Identify the performance obligation in the contract;
 
3.
Determine the transaction price;
 
4.
Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
 
5.
Recognize revenue when (or as) each performance obligation is satisfied.
  
At contract inception, we assess the goods and services promised in a contract with a customer and identify as a performance obligation each promise to transfer to the customer either: (i) a good or service (or a bundle of goods or services) that is distinct, or (ii) a series of distinct goods or services that are substantially the same and that have the same pattern of transfer to the customer. We recognize revenue only when we satisfy a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service to a customer.
 
Determining the timing of the satisfaction of performance obligations as well as the transaction price and the amounts allocated to performance obligations requires judgement.
 
 
 
-11-
 
 
We disclose disaggregation of our customer revenue by classes of similar products and services as follows:
 
Software licensing and royalties;
 
Sales of computer hardware and identification media;
 
Services; and
 
Post-contract customer support.
 
Software Licensing and Royalties
 
Software licenses consist of revenue from the sale of software for identity management applications. Our software licenses are functional intellectual property and typically provide customers with the right to use our software in perpetuity as it exists when made available to the customer. We recognize revenue from software licensing at a point in time upon delivery, provided all other revenue recognition criteria are met.
 
Royalties consist of revenue from usage-based arrangements and guaranteed minimum-based arrangements. We recognize revenue for royalty arrangements at the later of (i) when the related sales occur, or (ii) when the performance obligation to which some or all of the royalty has been allocated has been satisfied.
 
Computer Hardware and Identification Media
 
We generate revenue from the sale of computer hardware and identification media. Revenue for these items is recognized upon delivery of these products to the customer, provided all other revenue recognition criteria are met.
 
Services
 
Services revenue is comprised primarily of software customization services, software integration services, system installation services and customer training. Revenue is generally recognized upon completion of services and customer acceptance provided all other revenue recognition criteria are met.
 
Post-Contract Customer Support (“PCS”)
 
Post contract customer support consists of maintenance on software and hardware for our identity management solutions. We recognize PCS revenue from periodic maintenance agreements. Revenue is generally recognized ratably over the respective maintenance periods provided no significant obligations remain. Costs related to such contracts are expensed as incurred.
 
Arrangements with Multiple Performance Obligations
 
A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. In addition to selling software licenses, hardware and identification media, services and post-contract customer support on a standalone basis, certain contracts include multiple performance obligations. For such arrangements, we allocate revenue to each performance obligation based on our best estimate of the relative standalone selling price. The standalone selling price for a performance obligation is the price at which we would sell a promised good or service separately to a customer. The primary methods used to estimate standalone selling price are as follows: (i) the expected cost-plus margin approach, under which we forecast our expected costs of satisfying a performance obligation and then add an appropriate margin for that distinct good or service, and (ii) the percent discount off of list price approach.
 
Contract Costs
 
We recognize an asset for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if we expect the benefit of those costs to be longer than one year. We apply a practical expedient to expense costs as incurred for costs to obtain a contract when the amortization period is one year or less. At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had capitalized incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer of approximately $118,000. We recorded no additional contract costs during the three months ended March 31, 2020. Additionally, we recognized no revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2020 that was related to contract costs at the beginning of the period.

Other Items
 
We do not offer rights of return for our products and services in the normal course of business.
 
Sales tax collected from customers is excluded from revenue.

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, two customers accounted for approximately 46% or $424,000 of our total revenue and had trade receivables at March 31, 2019 of $651,000.
 
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
 
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), or other standard setting bodies, which are adopted by us as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company’s management believes the impact of recently issued standards not yet effective will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
   
FASB Accounting Standards Update (‘ASU”) No. 2018-14. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, “Compensation —Retirement Benefits —Defined Benefit Plans —General (Subtopic 715-20) —Disclosure Framework —Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans” (“ASU 2018-14”). The amendments in this update remove defined benefit plan disclosures that are no longer considered cost-beneficial, clarify the specific requirements of disclosures, and add disclosure requirements identified as relevant. ASU 2018-14 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard should be applied to all periods presented. The adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
   
FASB ASU No. 2019-12. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740).  The amendments in this update simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance.  Early adoption of the amendments is permitted.  For public business entities, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020.  The adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. 
 
FASB ASU No. 2020-01. In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01 Investments-Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments-Equity Method and Joint  Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)-Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815”, to clarify the interaction of the accounting for equity securities under ASC 321 and investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting in ASC 323 and the accounting for certain forward contracts and purchased options accounted for under ASC 815. With respect to the interactions between ASC 321 and ASC 323, the amendments clarify that an entity should consider observable transactions that require it to either apply or discontinue the equity method of accounting when applying the measurement alternative in ASC 321, immediately before applying or upon discontinuing the equity method of accounting. With respect to forward contracts or purchased options to purchase securities, the amendments clarify that when applying the guidance in ASC 815-10-15-141(a), an entity should not consider whether upon the settlement of the forward contract or exercise of the purchased option, individually or with existing investments, the underlying securities would be accounted for under the equity method in ASC 323 or the fair value option in accordance with ASC 825. The ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020.  Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period.  The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3.  NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
 
Basic loss per common share is calculated by dividing net loss available to common shareholders for the period by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per common share is calculated by dividing net loss available to common shareholders for the period by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted to include, if dilutive, potential dilutive shares consisting of convertible preferred stock, convertible related party lines of credit, stock options and warrants, calculated using the treasury stock and if-converted methods. For diluted loss per share calculation purposes, the net loss available to common shareholders is adjusted to add back any preferred stock dividends and any interest on convertible debt reflected in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the respective periods.

The Company annually, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate a need, tests the carrying amount of goodwill for impairment. The Company performs its annual impairment test in the fourth quarter of each year. In December 2018, the Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2017-04, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment". The provisions of ASU 2017-04 eliminate the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill to measure a goodwill impairment charge. Instead, entities will record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit's carrying amount over its fair value. Entities that have reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts, will no longer be required to perform a qualitative assessment assuming they pass the simplified impairment test. The Company continues to have only one reporting unit, Identity Management which, at March 31, 2020, had a negative carrying amount of approximately $11,841,000. Based on the results of the Company's impairment testing, the Company determined that its goodwill was not impaired during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019.
 
NOTE 5.  LEASES
 
The Company is a party to certain contractual arrangements for office space which meet the definition of leases under ASC 842 – Leases. In accordance with ASC 842, the Company has determined that such arrangements are operating leases and accordingly the Company has, as of January 1, 2019, recorded operating lease right-of-use assets and related lease liability for the present value of the lease payments over the lease terms using the Company’s estimated weighted-average incremental borrowing rate of approximately 14.5% as the discount rates implicit in the Company’s leases cannot be readily determined. Such assets and liabilities aggregated approximately $2,265,000 and $2,280,000 as of January 1, 2019, respectively and $1,906,000 and $2,089,000 as of December 31, 2019, respectively. At March 31, 2020, such assets and liabilities aggregated approximately $1,822,000 and $2,002,000, respectively. The Company determined that it had no arrangements representing finance leases.
 
The Company’s operating leasing arrangements are summarized below:
 
The Company’s corporate headquarters is located in San Diego, California, where it occupies 8,511 square feet of office space at an average cost of approximately $28,000 per month. This facility’s lease was entered into by the Company in July 2018. This lease commenced on November 1, 2018 and terminates on April 30, 2025;
 
1,508 square feet in Ottawa, Province of Ontario, Canada, at a cost of approximately $3,000 per month until the expiration of the lease on March 31, 2021;
 
9,720 square feet in Portland, Oregon, at a cost of approximately $23,000 per month until the expiration of the lease on February 28, 2023; and
 
183 square feet of office space in Mexico City, Mexico, at a cost of approximately $2,000 per month until September 30, 2020.
 
The above leases contain no residual value guarantees provided by the Company and there are no options to either extend or terminate the leases. The Company is not a party to any subleasing arrangements.
  
 
 
-15-
 
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded approximately $154,000, in lease expense using the straight-line method. Under the provisions of ASC 842, lease expense is comprised of the total lease payments under the lease plus any initial direct costs incurred less any lease incentives received by the lessor amortized ratably using the straight-line method over the lease term. The weighted-average remaining lease term of the Company’s operating leases as of March 31, 2020 is 4.29 years. Cash payments under operating leases aggregated approximately $161,000 and $117,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and are included in operating cash flows.
 
The Company’s lease liability was computed using the present value of future lease payments. The Company has utilized the practical expedient regarding lease and non-lease components and combined such components into a single combined component in the determination of the lease liability. The Company has excluded the lease of its office space in Mexico City, Mexico in the determination of the lease liability as of January 1, 2019 as its term is less than 12 months.
 
At March 31, 2020, future minimum undiscounted lease payments are as follows:

NOTE 6.  MEZZANINE EQUITY
 
Series C Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock
 
On September 10, 2018, the Company filed the Certificate of Designations, Preferences, and Rights of Series C Convertible Redeemable Preferred stock (the “Series C COD”) with the Secretary of State for the State of Delaware – Division of Corporations, designating 1,000 shares of the Company’s preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, as Series C Preferred, each share with a stated value of $10,000 per share (the “Stated Value”). Shares of Series C Preferred accrue dividends cumulatively and are payable quarterly at a rate of 8% per annum if paid in cash, or 10% per annum if paid by the issuance of shares of Common Stock. Each share of Series C Preferred has a liquidation preference equal to the greater of (i) the Stated Value plus all accrued and unpaid dividends, and (ii) such amount per share as would have been payable had each share been converted into Common Stock immediately prior to the occurrence of a Liquidation Event or Deemed Liquidation Event. Each share of Series C Preferred is convertible into that number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock (“Conversion Shares”) equal to the Stated Value, divided by $1.00, which conversion rate is subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Series C COD. Holders of Series C Preferred may elect to convert shares of Series C Preferred into Conversion Shares at any time. Holders of the Series C Preferred may also require the Company to redeem all or any portion of such holder’s shares of Series C Preferred at any time from and after the third anniversary of the issuance date or in the event of the consummation of a Change of Control (as such term is defined in the Series C COD). Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Series C COD, in the event the volume-weighted average price of the Company’s Common Stock is at least $3.00 per share (subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Series C COD) for at least 20 consecutive trading days, the Company may convert all, but not less than all, issued and outstanding shares of Series C Preferred into Conversion Shares. In addition, in the event of a Change of Control, the Company will have the option to redeem all, but not less than all, issued and outstanding shares of Series C Preferred for 115% of the Liquidation Preference Amount per share. Holders of Series C Preferred will have the right to vote, on an as-converted basis, with the holders of the Company’s Common Stock on any matter presented to the Company’s stockholders for their action or consideration. Shares of Series C Preferred rank senior to the Company’s Common Stock and Series A Preferred, and junior to the Company’s Series B Preferred.
  
 
 
-16-
 
 
 On September 10, 2018, the Company offered and sold a total of 890 shares of Series C Preferred at a purchase price of $10,000 per share, and on September 21, 2018, the Company offered and sold an additional 110 shares of Series C Preferred at a purchase price of $10,000 per share. The total gross proceeds to the Company from the Series C Financing were $10,000,000. Issuance costs incurred in conjunction with the Series C Financing were approximately $1,211,000. Such costs have been recorded as a discount on the Series C Preferred Stock and will be accreted to the point of earliest redemption which is the third anniversary of the Series C Financing or September 10, 2021 using the effective interest rate method. The accretion of these costs is recorded as a deemed dividend.
 
There were no issuances or conversions of Series C Preferred during the three months ended March 31, 2020 or March 31, 2019. The Company issued the holders of Series C Preferred an aggregate of 157,945 shares of Common Stock on March 31, 2019 as dividends. 
 
At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had cumulative dividends of approximately $250,000 and $0, respectively. At March 31, 2020, the unpaid Series C dividend of $250,000 is included as a current liability under the caption “Accrued expense” in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.
 
Guidance for accounting for freestanding financial instruments that contain characteristics of both liabilities and equity are contained in ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities From Equity and Accounting Series Release 268 (“ASR 268”) Redeemable Preferred Stocks. The Company evaluated the provisions of the Series C Preferred and determined that the provisions of the Series C Preferred grant the holders of the Series C Preferred a redemption right whereby the holders of the Series C Preferred may, at any time after the third anniversary of the Series C Preferred issuance, require the Company to redeem in cash any or all of the holder’s outstanding Series C Preferred at an amount equal to the Liquidation Preference Amount (“Liquidation Preference Amount”). The Liquidation Preference Amount is defined as the greater of the stated value of the Series C Preferred plus any accrued unpaid interest or such amount per share as would have been payable had each such share been converted into Common Stock. In the event of a Change of Control, the holders of Series C Preferred shall have the right to require the Company to redeem in cash all or any portion of such holder’s shares at the Liquidation Preference Amount. The Company has concluded that because the redemption features of the Series C Preferred are outside of the control of the Company, the instrument is to be recorded as temporary or mezzanine equity in accordance with the provisions of ASR 268.
  
The Company noted that the Series C Preferred Stock instrument was a hybrid instrument that contains several embedded features. In November 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-16 to amend ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”, (“ASC 815”) and require the use of the whole instrument approach (described below) to determine whether the nature of the host contract in a hybrid instrument issued in the form of a share is more akin to debt or to equity.
 
 The whole instrument approach requires an issuer or investor to consider the economic characteristics and risks of the entire hybrid instrument, including all of its stated and implied substantive terms and features. Under this approach, all stated and implied features, including the embedded feature being evaluated for bifurcation, must be considered. Each term and feature should be weighed based on the relevant facts and circumstances to determine the nature of the host contract. This approach results in a single, consistent determination of the nature of the host contract, which is then used to evaluate each embedded feature for bifurcation. That is, the host contract does not change as each feature is evaluated.
 
The revised guidance further clarifies that the existence or omission of any single feature, including an investor-held, fixed-price, noncontingent redemption option, does not determine the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract. Instead, an entity must base that determination on an evaluation of the entire hybrid instrument, including all substantive terms and features.
 
However, an individual term or feature may be weighed more heavily in the evaluation based on facts and circumstances. An evaluation of all relevant terms and features, including the circumstances surrounding the issuance or acquisition of the equity share, as well as the likelihood that an issuer or investor is expected to exercise any options within the host contract, to determine the nature of the host contract, requires judgement.
 
Using the whole instrument approach, the Company concluded that the host instrument is more akin to debt than equity as the majority of identified features contain more characteristics of debt.
 
The Company evaluated the identified embedded features of the Series C Preferred host instrument and determined that certain features meet the definition of and contained the characteristics of derivative financial instruments requiring bifurcation at fair value from the host instrument.
  
 
 
-17-
 
 
Accordingly, the Company has bifurcated from the Series C Preferred host instrument the conversion options, redemption option and participating dividend feature in accordance with the guidance in ASC 815. These bifurcated features aggregated approximately $833,000 at issuance and have been recorded as a discount to the Series C Preferred. Such amount will be accreted to the point of earliest redemption which is the third anniversary of the Series C Financing or September 10, 2021 using the effective interest rate method. The accretion of these features is recorded as a deemed dividend.
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded the accretion of debt issuance costs and derivative liabilities aggregating approximately $175,000 using the effective interest rate method. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recorded the accretion of debt issuance costs and derivative liabilities aggregating approximately $186,000 using the effective interest rate method.
 
There were no conversions of Series C Preferred into Common Stock during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

NOTE 7.  DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES
 
The Company accounts for its derivative instruments under the provisions of ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. Under the provisions of ASC 815, the Company identified embedded features within the Series C Preferred host contract that qualify as derivative instruments and require bifurcation.
 
The Company determined that the conversion option, redemption option and participating dividend feature contained in the Series C Preferred host instrument required bifurcation. The Company valued the bifurcatable features at fair value. Such liabilities aggregated approximately $833,000 at inception and are classified as current liabilities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets under the caption “Derivative liabilities”. The Company will revalue these features at each balance sheet date and record any change in fair value in the determination of period net income or loss. Such amounts are recorded in the caption “(Gain) loss on change in fair value of derivative liabilities” in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded a decrease to these derivative liabilities using fair value methodologies of approximately $197,000. As a result of this decrease, such liabilities aggregated approximately $172,000 at March 31, 2020. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recorded an increase to these derivative liabilities using fair value methodologies of approximately $424,000.
 
NOTE 8.  EQUITY
 
The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, authorizes the issuance of two classes of stock to be designated “Common Stock” and “Preferred Stock”. The Preferred Stock may be divided into such number of series and with the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions as the Board of Directors may determine.
 
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
 
The Company had 37,467 shares of Series A Preferred outstanding as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had cumulative dividends of approximately $937,000 and $0, respectively. There were no conversions of Series A Preferred into Common Stock during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. At March 31, 2020, the unpaid Series A dividend of approximately $937,000 is included as a current liability under the caption “Accrued expense” in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Series B Convertible Preferred Stock
 
The Company had 239,400 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Series B Preferred”), outstanding as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had cumulative undeclared dividends of approximately $21,000 and $8,000. There were no conversions of Series B Preferred into Common Stock during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

Stock-Based Compensation
 
The Company’s 1999 Stock Award Plan (the “1999 Plan”) was adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors on December 17, 1999. Under the terms of the 1999 Plan, the Company could, originally, issue up to 350,000 non-qualified or incentive stock options to purchase Common Stock of the Company. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company subsequently amended and restated the 1999 Plan, whereby it increased the share reserve for issuance to approximately 7.0 million shares of the Company’s Common Stock. Subsequently, in February 2018, the Company amended and restated the 1999 Plan, whereby it increased the share reserve for issuance by an additional 2.0 million shares. The 1999 Plan prohibits the grant of stock option or stock appreciation right awards with an exercise price less than fair market value of Common Stock on the date of grant. The 1999 Plan also generally prohibits the “re-pricing” of stock options or stock appreciation rights, although awards may be bought-out for a payment in cash or the Company’s stock. The 1999 Plan permits the grant of stock-based awards other than stock options, including the grant of “full value” awards such as restricted stock, stock units and performance shares. The 1999 Plan permits the qualification of awards under the plan (payable in either stock or cash) as “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Revenue Code. The number of options issued and outstanding and the number of options remaining available for future issuance are shown in the table below. The number of authorized shares available for issuance under the plan at March 31, 2020 was 1,679,259.
 
On June 9, 2020, pursuant to authorization obtained from the Company’s stockholders, the Company adopted the 2020 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan (the ”2020 Plan”). Such plan had been previously unanimously approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. The purposes of our 2020 Plan are to enhance our ability to attract and retain highly qualified officers, non-employee directors, key employees and consultants, and to motivate those service providers to serve the Company and to expend maximum effort to improve our business results by providing to those service providers an opportunity to acquire or increase a direct proprietary interest in our operations and future success. The 2020 Plan also will allow us to promote greater ownership in our Company by the service providers in order to align the service providers’ interests more closely with the interests of our stockholders. Awards granted under the 2020 Plan are designed to qualify for special tax treatment under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (theCode”).
 
Pursuant to the adoption of the 2020 Plan, such plan will supersede and replace the Company’s 1999 Stock Option Plan (the1999 Plan”) and no new awards will be granted under the 1999 Plan thereafter. Any awards outstanding under the 1999 Plan on the date of approval of the 2020 Plan will remain subject to the 1999 Plan. Upon approval of our 2020 Plan, all shares of Common Stock remaining authorized and available for issuance under the 1999 Plan and any shares subject to outstanding awards under the 1999 Plan that subsequently expire, terminate, or are surrendered or forfeited for any reason without issuance of shares will automatically become available for issuance under our 2020 Plan.
 
A more detailed description of the 2020 Plan is set forth in Note 12.
 
The Company estimates the fair value of its stock options using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model, consistent with the provisions of ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”. The fair value of stock options granted is recognized to expense over the requisite service period. Stock-based compensation expense for all share-based payment awards is recognized using the straight-line single-option method. Stock-based compensation expense is reported in operating expense based upon the departments to which substantially all the associated employees report and credited to additional paid-in-capital. Stock-based compensation expense related to equity options was approximately $124,000 and $166,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
   
ASC 718 requires the use of a valuation model to calculate the fair value of stock-based awards. The Company has elected to use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which incorporates various assumptions including volatility, expected life, and interest rates. The Company is required to make various assumptions in the application of the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company has determined that the best measure of expected volatility is based on the historical weekly volatility of the Company’s Common Stock. There were no options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2020. Historical volatility factors utilized in the Company’s Black-Scholes computations for options granted during the three months March 31, 2019 ranged from 57% to 59%. The Company has elected to estimate the expected life of an award based upon the SEC approved “simplified method” noted under the provisions of Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 14. The expected term used by the Company during the three months ended March 31, 2019 was 5.17 years. The difference between the actual historical expected life and the simplified method was immaterial. The interest rate used is the risk-free interest rate and is based upon U.S. Treasury rates appropriate for the expected term. Interest rates used in the Company’s Black-Scholes calculations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 averaged 2.58%. Dividend yield is zero as the Company does not expect to declare any dividends on the Company’s common shares in the foreseeable future.
 
 
 
-20-
 
 
In addition to the key assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model, the estimated forfeiture rate at the time of valuation is a critical assumption. The Company has adopted the provisions of ASU 2016-09 and will continue to use an estimated annualized forfeiture rate of approximately 0% for corporate officers, 4.1% for members of the Board of Directors and 6.0% for all other employees. The Company is currently in the process of reviewing the expected forfeiture rate to determine if that percent is still reasonable based on recent historical experience.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company issued 400,000 shares of its Common Stock pursuant to an exchange agreement with certain terminated employees whereby such employees exchanged 800,000 Common Stock purchase options for 400,000 shares of Common Stock as a component of their severance agreement. The Company recorded the grant date fair value of this Common Stock issuance as severance expense in the amount of approximately $62,000. In addition to these 800,000 options, an additional 477,340 options expired unexercised during the three months ended March 31, 2020.
 
The intrinsic value of options exercisable and outstanding at March 31, 2020 was $0. The aggregate intrinsic value for all options outstanding as of March 31, 2020 was $0. The weighted-average grant-date per share fair value of options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $0 as there were no option grants during this period. At March 31, 2020, the total remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options amounted to approximately $558,000, which will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.5 years.

NOTE 9.  FAIR VALUE ACCOUNTING
 
The Company accounts for fair value measurements in accordance with ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
 
ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 are described below:
 
 
Level 1
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
 
 
 
 
Level 2
Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
 
 
 
 
Level 3
Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).
  
 
 
-21-
 
 
The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value by level within the fair value hierarchy. As required by ASC 820, assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The Company’s German pension plan is funded by insurance contract policies whereby the insurance company guarantees a fixed minimum return. The Company has determined that the pension assets are appropriately classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using actuarial valuation methodologies which approximate cash surrender value that cannot be corroborated with observable market data. All plan assets are managed in a policyholder pool in Germany by outside investment managers. The investment manager is responsible for the investment strategy of the insurance premiums that Company submits and does not hold individual assets per participating employer. The German Federal Financial Supervisory oversees and supervises the insurance contracts.
 
As of March 31, 2020, the Company had embedded features contained in the Series C Preferred host instrument (issued in September 2018) that qualified for derivative liability treatment.  The recorded fair market value of these features was approximately $172,000 and $369,000 at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and are classified as a current liability in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The fair value of the Company’s derivative liabilities is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using pricing models that incorporate management assumptions that cannot be corroborated with observable market data.  The Company uses the lattice framework, Monte-Carlo simulations and other fair value methodologies in the determination of the fair value of derivative liabilities.  
 
Some of the aforementioned fair value methodologies are affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding the expected stock price volatility over the term of the derivative liabilities in addition to the probability of future events. Significant assumptions used in the fair value methodologies during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 are a risk-free rate of 0.20% to 2.45% equity volatility of 63% to 109%, effective life of 1.44 years to 4.45 years, and a preferred stock dividend rate of 10.0%. Additionally, management has made certain estimates regarding the timing of potential change of control events.
 
The Company monitors the activity within each level and any changes with the underlying valuation techniques or inputs utilized to recognize if any transfers between levels are necessary.  That determination is made, in part, by working with outside valuation experts for Level 3 instruments and monitoring market related data and other valuation inputs for Level 1 and Level 2 instruments.

NOTE 10.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
Notes Payable
 
On February 12, 2020, the Company entered into a factoring agreement with a member of the Company’s Board of Directors for $350,000. Such amount is to be repaid with the proceeds from certain of the Company’s trade accounts receivable approximating $500,000 and are due no later than 21 days after February 12, 2020. As of June 25, 2020, despite collection of the Company’s trade accounts receivable, $315,000 of such amounts have not been repaid and the Company is seeking an extension from the Board member. Under the terms of the factoring agreement, factored money will bear interest at the rate of 1% of the factoring money for the first seven days, and 1% for each additional seven days until the factoring money is paid in full.
 
In April 2020, the Company received an aggregate amount of $550,000 from two members of the Company’s Board of Directors. Terms of repayment are currently being negotiated between the Company and Board Members, although it is currently anticipated that the Company will issue subordinated promissory notes that will convert into shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Common Stock"), at a conversion price to be agreed to by the lenders and the Company.

There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of the Company or any of our subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting the Company, our Common Stock, any of our subsidiaries or of the Company’s or our subsidiaries’ officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect.
 
12.    SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
In April 2020, the Company received an aggregate amount of $550,000 from two members of the Company’s Board of Directors. Terms of repayment are currently being negotiated between the Company and Board Members, although it is currently anticipated that the Company will issue subordinated promissory notes that will convert into shares of the Company’s Common Stock, at a conversion price to be agreed to by the lenders and the Company.
 
On April 28, 2020, we entered into a purchase agreement, as amended on June 11, 2020 (thePurchase Agreement”), and a registration rights agreement (theRegistration Rights Agreement”) with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“Lincoln Park”) pursuant to which Lincoln Park committed to purchase up to $10,250,000 of our Common Stock.
 
Under the terms and subject to the conditions of the Purchase Agreement, including stockholder approval of an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of shares of the Company’s capital stock to 350 million shares, obtained from our shareholders effective June 9, 2020, we have the right, but not the obligation, to sell to Lincoln Park, and Lincoln Park is obligated to purchase up to $10,250,000 of shares of our Common Stock. On April 28, 2020, we sold 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement for an aggregate purchase price of $100,000 (the “Initial Purchase Shares)”. On June 11, 2020, we sold an additional 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement for an aggregate purchase price of $150,000 (the “Commencement Purchase Shares”). Future sales of Common Stock under the Purchase Agreement, if any, will be subject to certain limitations, and may occur from time to time, at our sole discretion, over the 24-month period commencing on the date that a registration statement, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (theSEC”) pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement on June 9, 2020, is declared effective by the SEC and a final prospectus in connection therewith is filed and the other conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement are satisfied (such date on which all of such conditions are satisfied, theCommencement Date”).
 
Under the Purchase Agreement, on any business day over the term of the Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right, in its sole discretion, to present Lincoln Park with a purchase notice (each, a "Purchase Notice") directing Lincoln Park to purchase up to 125,000 shares of Common Stock per business day, which increases to up to 425,000 shares in the event the price of the Company’s Common Stock is not below $0.55 per share (the "Regular Purchase") (subject to adjustment for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar transaction as provided in the Purchase Agreement). In each case, Lincoln Park's maximum commitment in any single Regular Purchase may not exceed $500,000. The Purchase Agreement provides for a purchase price per Purchase Share (the "Purchase Price") equal to the lesser of:
 
the lowest sale price of the Company's Common Stock on the purchase date; and
 
the average of the three lowest closing sale prices for the Company's Common Stock during the fifteen consecutive business days ending on the business day immediately preceding the purchase date of such shares.
 
 
 
-24-
 
 
In addition, on any date on which the Company submits a Purchase Notice to Lincoln Park, the Company also has the right, in its sole discretion, to present Lincoln Park with an accelerated purchase notice (each, an "Accelerated Purchase Notice") directing Lincoln Park to purchase an amount of stock (the "Accelerated Purchase") equal to up to the lesser of (i) three times the number of shares of Common Stock purchased pursuant to such Regular Purchase; and (ii) 30% of the aggregate shares of the Company's Common Stock traded during all or, if certain trading volume or market price thresholds specified in the Purchase Agreement are crossed on the applicable Accelerated Purchase Date, the portion of the normal trading hours on the applicable Accelerated Purchase Date prior to such time that any one of such thresholds is crossed (such period of time on the applicable Accelerated Purchase Date, the "Accelerated Purchase Measurement Period"), provided that Lincoln Park will not be required to buy shares of Common Stock pursuant to an Accelerated Purchase Notice that was received by Lincoln Park on any business day on which the last closing trade price of the Company's Common Stock on the OTC Markets (or alternative national exchange in accordance with the Purchase Agreement) is below $0.25 per share. The purchase price per share of Common Stock for each such Accelerated Purchase will be equal to the lesser of:
 
95% of the volume weighted average price of the Company's Common Stock during the applicable Accelerated Purchase Measurement Period on the applicable Accelerated Purchase Date; and
 
the closing sale price of the Company's Common Stock on the applicable Accelerated Purchase Date.
 
The Company may also direct Lincoln Park on any business day on which an Accelerated Purchase has been completed and all of the shares to be purchased thereunder have been properly delivered to Lincoln Park in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, to purchase an amount of stock (the "Additional Accelerated Purchase") equal to up to the lesser of (i) three times the number of shares purchased pursuant to such Regular Purchase; and (ii) 30% of the aggregate number of shares of the Company's Common Stock traded during a certain portion of the normal trading hours on the applicable Additional Accelerated Purchase date as determined in accordance with the Purchase Agreement (such period of time on the applicable Additional Accelerated Purchase date, the "Additional Accelerated Purchase Measurement Period"), provided that the closing price of the Company's Common Stock on the business day immediately preceding such business day is not below $0.25 (subject to adjustment for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar transaction as provided in the Purchase Agreement). Additional Accelerated Purchases will be equal to the lower of:
 
95% of the volume weighted average price of the Company's Common Stock during the applicable Additional Accelerated Purchase Measurement Period on the applicable Additional Accelerated Purchase date; and
 
the closing sale price of the Company's Common Stock on the applicable Additional Accelerated Purchase date.
 
Lincoln Park has no right to require the Company to sell any shares of Common Stock to Lincoln Park, but Lincoln Park is obligated to make purchases as the Company directs, subject to certain conditions. There are no upper limits on the price per share that Lincoln Park must pay for shares of Common Stock.
 
Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, in no event may we issue or sell to Lincoln Park under the shares of our Common Stock under the Purchase Agreement which, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by the Lincoln Park and its affiliates (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13d-3 promulgated thereunder), would result in the beneficial ownership by the Investor and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”).
 
The Company has agreed with Lincoln Park that it will not enter into any "variable rate" transactions with any third party for a period defined in the Purchase Agreement.
 
The Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement contain customary representations, warranties, agreements and conditions and indemnification obligations of the parties. We have the right to terminate the Purchase Agreement at any time, at no cost or penalty. We issued to Lincoln Park 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock in consideration for entering into the Purchase Agreement.
 
Actual sales of shares of Common Stock to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Company from time to time, including, among others, market conditions, the trading price of the Common Stock and determinations by the Company as to the appropriate sources of funding for the Company and its operations.

On May 4, 2020, the Company entered into a loan agreement (“PPP Loan”) with Comerica Bank (“Comerica”) under the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”), which is part of the CARES Act administered by the United States Small Business Administration (“SBA”). As part of the application for these funds, the Company in good faith, has certified that the current economic uncertainty made the loan request necessary to support the ongoing operations of the Company. This certification further requires the Company to take into account our current business activity and our ability to access other sources of liquidity sufficient to support ongoing operations in a manner that is not significantly detrimental to the business. Under this program, the Company received proceeds of approximately $1,571,000, from the PPP Loan. In accordance with the requirements of the PPP, the Company intends to use proceeds from the PPP Loan primarily for payroll costs, rent and utilities. The PPP Loan has a 1.00% interest rate per annum, matures on May 4, 2022 and is subject to the terms and conditions applicable to loans administered by the SBA under the PPP. Under the terms of PPP, all or certain amounts of the PPP Loan may be forgiven if they are used for qualifying expenses as described in the CARES Act, which the Company continues to evaluate.
 
Organizational Developments

The Company and Ms. Kristin Taylor entered into an employment agreement effective April 10, 2020 resulting from her appointment as President and Chief Executive Office effective March 2, 2020. A copy of the employment contract that sets forth Ms. Taylor’s base compensation, equity compensation and termination provisions was filed with the SEC on April 15, 2020 on the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K. On May 27, 2020, the Company announced the appointment Ms. Taylor to serve as a director on the Board of Directors (the "Board") of the Company for a period of one year or until her successor is duly elected. In connection with her service on the Board and as an employee director, Ms. Taylor is not entitled to receive any additional compensation.
 
On April 1, 2020, John Cronin resigned from his position as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company. Mr. Cronin will continue his work with the Company on intellectual property matters, including intellectual property monetization.
 
The Company announced the appointment of Jonathan D. Morris as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer effective May 1, 2020.
 
Subsequent to March 31, 2020, the Company issued 200,000 shares of its Common Stock to certain terminated employees as part of such employees’ severance in exchange for 400,000 outstanding options held by such employees. Such shares of stock vested immediately. Additionally, on May 8, 2020 the Company granted 708,916 restricted stock units to certain active employees in exchange for 1,417,832 outstanding options held by such employees. On May 8, 2020, 88,695 shares of these restricted stock units vested with the remainder of such shares of stock vesting quarterly over a period of two years.
 
On June 9, 2020, the Company amended its Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Charter’) to increase the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock and the number of shares of the Company’s Preferred Stock authorized thereunder from an aggregate of 179 million to 350 million, consisting of 345 million shares of Common Stock and 5.0 million shares of Preferred Stock. Such amendment was made pursuant to authorization obtained from the Company’s stockholders.
 
On June 9, 2020, pursuant to authorization obtained from the Company’s stockholders, the Company adopted the 2020 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”). Such plan had been previously unanimously approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. The purposes of our 2020 Plan are to enhance our ability to attract and retain highly qualified officers, non-employee directors, key employees and consultants, and to motivate those service providers to serve the Company and to expend maximum effort to improve our business results by providing to those service providers an opportunity to acquire or increase a direct proprietary interest in our operations and future success. The 2020 Plan also will allow us to promote greater ownership in our Company by the service providers in order to align the service providers’ interests more closely with the interests of our stockholders. Awards granted under the 2020 Plan are designed to qualify for special tax treatment under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (theCode”).

 
 
-26-
 
 
Key provisions of the 2020 Plan are:
 
Eligibility
 
Awards may be granted under the 2020 Plan to officers, employees and consultants of our Company and our subsidiaries and to our non-employee directors. Incentive stock options may be granted only to employees of our Company or one of our subsidiaries.
 
Administration
 
The 2020 Plan will be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board. The Compensation Committee, in its discretion, selects the individuals to whom awards may be granted, the time or times at which such awards are granted, and the terms of such awards. The Compensation Committee may delegate its authority to the extent permitted by applicable law.
 
Number of Authorized Shares
 
A total of 25.0 million shares of Common Stock are authorized for issuance under the 2020 Plan. In addition, any awards then outstanding under the 1999 Plan will remain subject to the 1999 Plan. Upon approval of the 2020 Plan, all shares of Common Stock remaining authorized and available for issuance under the 1999 Plan, approximately 1.68 million shares at March 31, 2020, and any shares then subject to outstanding awards under the 1999 Plan that subsequently expire, terminate, or are surrendered or forfeited for any reason without issuance of shares will automatically become available for issuance under the 2020 Plan.
 
Limits on Immediate Vesting 
 
No more than 25% of any equity-based awards granted under the 2020 Plan will vest on the grant date of such award. This requirement does not apply to (i) substitute awards resulting from acquisitions or (ii) shares delivered in lieu of fully vested cash awards. In addition, the minimum vesting requirement does not apply to the Compensation Committee’s discretion to provide for accelerated exercisability or vesting of any award, including in cases of retirement, death, disability or a change in control, in the terms of the award or otherwise.
 
Term, Termination and Amendment of the 2020 Plan
 
Unless earlier terminated by the Board, the 2020 Plan will terminate, and no further awards may be granted, ten years after the date on which it is approved by stockholders. The board may amend, suspend or terminate the 2020 Plan at any time, except that, if required by applicable law, regulation or stock exchange rule, stockholder approval will be required for any amendment. The amendment, suspension or termination of the 2020 Plan or the amendment of an outstanding award generally may not, without a participant’s consent, materially impair the participant’s rights under an outstanding award.
 
ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Forward-Looking Statements
 
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All forward-looking statements included in this report are based on information available to us as of the date hereof and we assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve known or unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements, or industry results to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include but are not limited to those items discussed under “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, and in Item 1A of Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Quarterly Report”).
 
 
 
-27-
 
 
The following discussion of the financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere within this Quarterly Report. Fluctuations in annual and quarterly results may occur as a result of factors affecting demand for our products, such as the timing of new product introductions by us and by our competitors and our customers’ political and budgetary constraints. Due to such fluctuations, historical results and percentage relationships are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for any future period.

Recent Market Conditions
 
During March 2020, a global pandemic was declared by the World Health Organization related to the rapidly growing outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”).
 
The pandemic has significantly impacted the economic conditions both in the United States and worldwide, with accelerated effects in February through the date of this report, as federal, state and local governments react to the public health crisis, creating significant uncertainties in both the worldwide and the United States economies. In the interest of public health and safety, jurisdictions (international, national, state and local), required and continue to require mandatory office closures. As of the date of this report, while our employees are working remotely, all of our facilities are closed. The situation is rapidly changing and additional impacts to our business may arise that we are not aware of currently. We cannot predict whether, when or the manner in which the conditions surrounding COVID-19 will change including the timing of lifting any restrictions or office closure requirements.
 
The full extent of COVID-19’s impact on our operations and financial performance depends on future developments that are uncertain and unpredictable, including the duration and spread of the pandemic, its impact on capital and financial markets and any new information that may emerge concerning the severity of the virus, its spread to other regions as well as the actions taken to contain it, among others.
 
On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law the “Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”). The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of employer side social security payments, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations, increased limitations on qualified charitable contributions and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property.
 
The Company continues to examine the impact that the CARES Act may have on our business. Currently the Company is unable to determine the impact that the CARES Act will have on our financial condition, results of operation or liquidity. 
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
The discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to utilize accounting policies and make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingencies as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during a fiscal period. The SEC considers an accounting policy to be critical if it is important to a company’s financial condition and results of operations, and if it requires significant judgment and estimates on the part of management in its application.
 
 
 
-28-
 
 
Significant estimates include the evaluation of our ability to continue as a going concern, the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, deferred tax asset valuation allowances, recoverability of goodwill, assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model to calculate the fair value of share based payments, fair value of financial instruments issued with and affected by the Series C Financing, assumptions used in the application of revenue recognition policies, assumptions used in the derivation of the Company’s incremental borrowing rate used in the computation of the Company’s operating lease liabilities and assumptions used in the application of fair value methodologies to calculate the fair value of pension assets and obligations.
 
Critical accounting policies are those that, in management’s view, are most important in the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations. Management believes there have been no material changes during the three months ended March 31, 2020 to the critical accounting policies discussed in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
 
Results of Operations
 
This management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

Software and royalty revenue increased approximately $14,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the corresponding period in 2019. This increase is attributable to higher royalty revenue of approximately $19,000, higher law enforcement project related revenue of approximately $2,000 offset by lower identification project related revenue of approximately $7,000.
 
Revenue from the sale of hardware and consumables increased approximately $3,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the corresponding period in 2019 due to an increase in consumables procurement by our customers.
 
Services revenue is comprised primarily of software integration services, system installation services and customer training. Such revenue decreased approximately $145,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the corresponding period in 2019. The decrease results from the completion of the service element in certain project related work completed during the three months ended March 31, 2019.
 
We believe that the period-to-period fluctuations of identity management software revenue in project-oriented solutions are largely due to the timing of government procurement with respect to the various programs we are pursuing. Although no assurances can be given, based on management’s current visibility into the timing of potential government procurements and potential partnerships and current pilot programs, we believe that we will see an increase in government procurement and implementations with respect to identity management initiatives; however, government procurement initiatives, implementations and pilots are frequently delayed and extended and we cannot predict the timing of such initiatives.

As discussed more fully elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, the full extent of COVID-19’s impact on our operations and financial performance depends on future developments that are uncertain and unpredictable, including the duration and spread of the pandemic, its impact on capital and financial markets and any new information that may emerge concerning the severity of the virus, its spread to other regions as well as the actions taken to contain it, among others.
 
During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we have focused on strategically updating our products with the latest mobile and cloud technology prioritized by market opportunities. We will be relaunching GoVerify ID® in July 2020. This relaunch includes a new container and microservices-based architecture along with refreshed mobile and desktop clients. We believe these updates will result in additional customers implementing our GoVerify ID® solution. Additionally, we have focused on the integration of the suite of products that comprise out Identity Platform. Throughout the remainder of 2020 we plan to continue to enhance our Identity Platform products, including our EPI (our biometric smart access cards) and law enforcement offerings by leveraging cloud and mobile technologies to improve both functionality and value to the customer. Management believes that these initiatives will result in the expansion of our solutions into the both law enforcement and non-governmental sectors including commercial, consumer and healthcare applications further resulting in additional implementations of both our GoVerify ID® products and Identity Platform products.

Maintenance revenue was approximately $646,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, as compared to approximately $653,000 for the corresponding period in 2019. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, identity management maintenance revenue was approximately $317,000 as compared to $328,000 for the comparable period in 2019. The decrease in identity management maintenance revenue of approximately $11,000 reflects the expiration of certain maintenance contracts. Law enforcement maintenance revenue was approximately $329,000 and $325,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. This increase of approximately $4,000 is primarily due to the expansion of our law enforcement customer installed base.
 
We anticipate growth of our maintenance revenue through the retention of existing customers combined with the continued expansion of our installed base resulting from the completion of project-oriented work; however, we cannot predict the timing of this anticipated growth, if ever. Furthermore, we cannot predict how the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, discussed more fully elsewhere in this Quarterly Report may affect our future growth.

The cost of software and royalty product revenue increased approximately $14,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the corresponding period in 2019 due primarily to certain fixed third-party software license costs.
 
The cost of services revenue decreased approximately $75,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the corresponding period in 2019. This decrease reflects lower service revenue of approximately $145,000. In addition to changes in costs of services product revenue caused by revenue level fluctuations, costs of services can vary as a percentage of service revenue from period to period depending upon both the level and complexity of professional service resources utilized in the completion of the service element.

General and Administrative Expense
 
General and administrative expense is comprised primarily of salaries and other employee-related costs for executive, financial, and other infrastructure personnel. General legal, accounting and consulting services, insurance, occupancy and communication costs are also included with general and administrative expense.
  
The dollar decrease of approximately $124,000 in general and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the corresponding period in 2019 is comprised of the following major components:
 
Decrease in personnel related expense of approximately $56,000;
 
Decreases in professional services of approximately $106,000, which includes lower Board of Director fees of approximately $72,000, lower contractor fees of approximately $2,000, lower contract services of approximately $43,000 and lower investor relations fees of approximately $26,000 offset by higher general corporate expense of approximately $11,000, higher legal fees of approximately $22,000, and audit fees of approximately $4,000;
 
Increase in travel, insurances, licenses, dues, rent, and office related costs of approximately $13,000;
 
Increase in financing related expense of approximately $50,000; and
 
Decrease in stock-based compensation expense of approximately $25,000.
 
We continue to focus our efforts on achieving additional future operating efficiencies by reviewing and improving upon existing business processes and evaluating our cost structure. We believe these efforts will allow us to continue to gradually decrease our level of general and administrative expense expressed as a percentage of total revenue.
   
 
 
 
-32-
 
 
Sales and Marketing Expense
 
Sales and marketing expense consists primarily of the salaries, commissions, other incentive compensation, employee benefits and travel expense of our sales, marketing, and business development.
 
The dollar increase in sales and marketing expense of approximately $53,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the corresponding period in 2019, is primarily comprised of the following major components:
 
Decrease in personnel related expense of approximately $18,000 driven primarily by headcount reductions;
 
Recognition of approximately $154,000 in severance related costs;
 
Decrease in contractor fees, contract services and dues and subscriptions of approximately $2,000 resulting from increased utilization of certain sales consultants of approximately $13,000, higher contract services of approximately $47,000 offset by lower marketing dues and subscription expense of approximately $62,000;
 
Decrease in travel, trade show expense and office related expense of approximately $67,000;
 
Decrease in stock-based compensation expense of approximately $11,000; and
 
Decrease in our Mexico sales office expense and other of approximately $3,000.
 
We anticipate that the level of expense incurred for sales and marketing during the year ended December 31, 2020 will increase as we pursue large project solution opportunities, however we cannot predict how the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, discussed more fully elsewhere in this Quarterly Report may affect our level of anticipated expenditures.
  
Research and Development
 
Research and development expense consists primarily of salaries, employee benefits and outside contractors for new product development, product enhancements, custom integration work and related facility costs.
 
Research and development expense increased approximately $94,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, as compared to the corresponding period in 2019, due primarily to the following major components:
 
Decrease in personnel related expense of approximately $13,000 due to headcount reductions offset by lower capitalized labor into work in process inventory of approximately $13,000 related to in-process projects;
 
Increase in contractor fees and contract services of approximately $64,000 for services related to the accelerated development of mobile identity management;
 
Decrease in stock-based compensation of approximately $5,000; and
 
Increase in rent, office related expense and engineering tools and supplies of approximately $35,000.
 
Our level of expenditures in research and development reflects our belief that to maintain our competitive position in markets characterized by rapid rates of technological advancement, we must continue to invest significant resources in new systems and software as well as continue to enhance existing products.
  
Depreciation and Amortization
 
During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, depreciation and amortization expense was approximately $18,000 and $19,000, respectively. The relatively small amount of depreciation and amortization reflects the relatively small property and equipment carrying value.

Interest Expense (Income), Net
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2020, we recognized interest income of $1,000 and interest expense of approximately $25,000. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, we recognized interest income of approximately $22,000 and interest expense of $0. The decrease in interest income of approximately $21,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the corresponding period in 2019 reflects lower interest earned on lower cash balances. Interest expense of approximately $25,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 reflects interest incurred on a related party factoring agreement.
         
   Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2020, we recognized income of approximately $197,000 from the decrease of derivative liabilities arising from the consummation of the Series C Financing in September 2018. Such decrease was determined by management using fair value methodologies and is included as other income under the caption “(Gain) loss on change in fair value of derivative liabilities” in our condensed consolidated statement of operations for three months ended March 31, 2020.
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2019, we recognized expense of approximately $424,000 from the increase of derivative liabilities arising from the consummation of the Series C Financing in September 2018. Such increase was determined by management using fair value methodologies and is included as an expense under the caption “(Gain) loss on change in fair value of derivative liabilities” in our condensed consolidated statement of operations for three months ended March 31, 2019.
 
LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND GOING CONCERN
  
Historically, our principal sources of cash have included customer payments from the sale of our products, proceeds from the issuance of common and preferred stock and proceeds from the issuance of debt. Our principal uses of cash have included cash used in operations, product development, and payments relating to purchases of property and equipment. We expect that our principal uses of cash in the future will be for product development, including customization of identity management products for enterprise and consumer applications, further development of intellectual property, development of Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) capabilities for existing products as well as general working capital and capital expenditure requirements. Management expects that, as our revenue grows, our sales and marketing and research and development expense will continue to grow, albeit at a slower rate and, as a result, we will need to generate significant net revenue to achieve and sustain income from operations.
 
Related Party Financings
 
On February 12, 2020, the Company entered into a factoring agreement with a member of the Company’s Board of Directors for $350,000. Such amount is to be repaid with the proceeds from certain of the Company’s trade accounts receivable approximating $500,000 and are due no later than 21 days after February 12, 2020. As of June 25, 2020, despite collection of the Company’s trade accounts receivable, $315,000 of such amounts have not been repaid and the Company is seeking an extension from the Board member. Under the terms of the factoring agreement, factored money will bear interest at the rate of 1% of the factoring money for the first seven days, and 1% for each additional seven days until the factoring money is paid in full.
 
In April 2020, the Company received an aggregate amount of $550,000 from two members of the Company’s Board of Directors. Terms of repayment are currently being negotiated between the Company and Board Members, although it is currently anticipated that the Company will issue subordinated promissory notes that will convert into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a conversion price to be agreed to by the lenders and the Company.
 
 2020 Common Stock Financings
 
On February 20, 2020, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Triton Purchase Agreement”) with Triton Funds LP, (a Delaware limited partnership ("Triton" or the "Investor"). The Triton Purchase Agreement provides the Company the right to sell to Triton, and Triton is obligated to purchase, up to $2.0 million worth of shares of the Company's Common Stock under the Triton Purchase Agreement (the “Offering”). Pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Triton Purchase Agreement, the purchase price of the Common Stock will be based on the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the amount in U.S. Dollars that the Company intends to sell to the Investor to be set forth in each written notice sent to the Investor by the Company (the "Purchase Notice") and delivered to the Investor (the "Purchase Notice Amount"), divided by the lowest daily volume weighted average price of the Company's Common stock listed on the OTC Markets during the five business days prior to closing (the "Purchased Shares"). The Closing of the purchase of the Purchased Shares as set forth in the Purchase Notice will occur no later than three business days following receipt of the Purchased Shares by the Investor.
 
 
 
-34-
 
 
The Offering was made pursuant to an effective registration statement on Form S-3, as previously filed with the SEC on July 10, 2018, and a related prospectus supplement filed on February 21, 2020. The Offering will terminate upon the earlier date of either (i) that date which the Investor has purchased an aggregate of $2.0 million in Purchased Shares pursuant to the Triton Purchase Agreement; or (ii) March 31, 2020. The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Offering for general working capital purposes.
 
In February and March of 2020, the Company sold, and Triton purchased, an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock for cash. In February, the Company sold 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock for $0.16 per share resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of $640,000. In March 2020, the Company sold 6,000,000 shares of Common Stock resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of $765,000, or a per share purchase price of $0.13 per share. Proceeds from the March 2020 sales were received April 29, 2020. Aggregate net proceeds from this financing approximated $1,387,000 after recognition of direct offering costs.
 
As prescribed by ASC topic 505, Equity, stock subscription receivable represents the purchase of Common Stock for which the Company has not yet received payment from the purchaser. As of March 31, 2020, the Company has recorded a stock subscription receivable in the amount of $765,000 in its condensed consolidated balance sheet. This amount was received by the Company on April 29, 2020.
 
On April 28, 2020, we entered into a purchase agreement, as amended on June 11, 2020 (thePurchase Agreement”), and a registration rights agreement (theRegistration Rights Agreement”) with Lincoln Park pursuant to which Lincoln Park committed to purchase up to $10,250,000 of our Common Stock.
 
  Under the terms and subject to the conditions of the Purchase Agreement, including stockholder approval of an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of shares of the Company’s capital stock to 350 million shares, we have the right, but not the obligation, to sell to Lincoln Park, and Lincoln Park is obligated to purchase up to $10,250,000 of shares of our Common Stock. On April 28, 2020, we sold 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement for an aggregate purchase price of $100,000 (the “Initial Purchase Shares”). On June 11, 2020, we sold an additional 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement for an aggregate purchase price of $150,000 (the “Commencement Purchase Shares”). Future sales of Common Stock under the Purchase Agreement, if any, will be subject to certain limitations, and may occur from time to time, at our sole discretion, over the 24-month period commencing on the date that a registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, which we agreed to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (theSEC”) pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, is declared effective by the SEC and a final prospectus in connection therewith is filed and the other conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement are satisfied (such date on which all of such conditions are satisfied, theCommencement Date”).
 
After the Commencement Date, on any business day over the term of the Purchase Agreement, we have the right, in our sole discretion, to direct Lincoln Park to purchase up to 125,000 shares on such business day (theRegular Purchase”), subject to increases under certain circumstances as provided in the Purchase Agreement. The purchase price per share for each such Regular Purchase will be based on prevailing market prices of the Company’s Common Stock immediately preceding the time of sale as computed under the Purchase Agreement. In each case, Lincoln Park’s maximum commitment in any single Regular Purchase may not exceed $500,000. In addition to Regular Purchases, provided that we present Lincoln Park with a purchase notice for the full amount allowed for a Regular Purchase, we may also direct Lincoln Park to make accelerated purchases and additional accelerated purchases as described in the Purchase Agreement.
 
Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, in no event may we issue or sell to Lincoln Park under the shares of our Common Stock under the Purchase Agreement which, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by Lincoln Park and its affiliates (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13d-3 promulgated thereunder), would result in the beneficial ownership by the Investor and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”).
 
The Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement contain customary representations, warranties, agreements and conditions and indemnification obligations of the parties. We have the right to terminate the Purchase Agreement at any time, at no cost or penalty. We issued to Lincoln Park 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock in consideration for entering into the Purchase Agreement.
 
Due to the terms of the Purchase Agreement as described above, management is not currently expecting the related proceeds from this agreement to be sufficient to sustain operations for an extended period of time.
 
CARES Act Financing
 
 On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed the CARES Act into law. On May 4, 2020, the Company entered into a loan agreement (the “PPP Loan”) with Comerica Bank (“Comerica”) under the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”), which is part of the CARES Act administered by the United States Small Business Administration (“SBA”). As part of the application for these funds, the Company in good faith, has certified that the current economic uncertainty made the loan request necessary to support the ongoing operations of the Company. This certification further requires the Company to take into account our current business activity and our ability to access other sources of liquidity sufficient to support ongoing operations in a manner that is not significantly detrimental to the business. Under this program, the Company received proceeds of approximately $1,571,000, from the PPP Loan. In accordance with the requirements of the PPP, the Company intends to use proceeds from the PPP Loan primarily for payroll costs, rent and utilities. The PPP Loan has a 1.00% interest rate per annum, matures on May 4, 2022 and is subject to the terms and conditions applicable to loans administered by the SBA under the PPP. Under the terms of PPP, all or certain amounts of the PPP Loan may be forgiven if they are used for qualifying expenses as described in the CARES Act, which the Company continues to evaluate.

Going Concern and Management’s Plan
 
At March 31, 2020, we had negative working capital of approximately $4,350,000. Our principal sources of liquidity at March 31, 2020 consisted of approximately $53,000 of cash and cash equivalents.
 
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic is affecting the United States and global economies and may affect the Company's operations and those of third parties on which the Company relies. Additionally, as the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic is difficult to assess or predict, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the financial markets may reduce our ability to access capital, which could negatively impact the Company's short-term and long-term liquidity. These effects could have a material impact on the Company's liquidity, capital resources, operations and business and those of the third parties on which the Company relies.
 
Considering the financings consummated in 2020, as well as our projected cash requirements, and assuming we are unable to generate incremental revenue, our available cash will be insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements for the next twelve months from the date of this filing. At June 23, 2020, cash on hand approximated $945,000. Based on the Company’s rate of cash consumption in the first quarter of 2020 and the last quarter of 2019, the Company will need additional capital in the third quarter of 2020 and its prospects for obtaining that capital are uncertain. As a result of the Company’s historical losses and financial condition, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
 
To address our working capital requirements, management has begun instituting several cost cutting measures and may utilize cash proceeds available under the Lincoln Park facility at such time as the Company is able to register shares to be issued to Lincoln Park. Additionally, management is currently negotiating a restructuring of certain of our issued and outstanding Preferred Stock to facilitate additional equity and/or debt financing, and may seek strategic or other transactions intended to provide necessary working capital and increase shareholder value. There are currently no agreements with the holders of our issued and outstanding Preferred Stock or financing arrangements to support our projected cash shortfall, including commitments to purchase additional debt and/or equity securities, or other agreements, and no assurances can be given that we will be successful in such efforts, including our ability to raise additional debt and/or equity securities, or entering into any other transaction that addresses our ability to continue as a going concern.
 
In view of the matters described in the preceding paragraph, recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which, in turn, is dependent upon the Company’s ability to continue to raise capital and generate positive cash flows from operations. However, the Company operates in markets that are emerging and highly competitive. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional capital, operate at a profit or generate positive cash flows in the future. Therefore, management’s plans do not alleviate the substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
 
The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
 
Operating Activities

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
Our business extends to countries outside the United States, and we intend to continue to expand our foreign operations. As a result, our revenue and results of operations are affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates, interest rates, and other uncertainties inherent in doing business in more than one currency. In addition, our operations are exposed to risks that are associated with changes in social, political, and economic conditions in the foreign countries in which we operate, including changes in the laws and policies that govern foreign investment, as well as, to a lesser extent, changes in United States laws and regulations relating to foreign trade and investment.
 
Changes in currency exchange rates affect the relative prices at which we sell our products and purchase goods and services. Given the uncertainty of exchange rate fluctuations, we cannot estimate the effect of these fluctuations on our future business, product pricing, results of operations, or financial condition. We do not use foreign currency exchange contracts or derivative financial instruments for hedging or speculative purposes. To the extent foreign sales become a more significant part of our business in the future, we may seek to implement strategies which make use of these or other instruments in order to minimize the effects of foreign currency exchange on our business.
