INTRODUCTION

 

This notice and information statement (the “Information Statement”) will be mailed on or about December 1, 2014 to the stockholders of record, as of November 20, 2014 to shareholders of StrikeForce Technologies, Inc., a Wyoming corporation (the “Company”) pursuant to: Section 14(c) of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. This Information Statement is circulated to advise the shareholders of action already approved and taken without a meeting by written consent of three stockholders (management) holding a total of three Series A Preferred Shares (The three shares of Series A Preferred Shares held by management equals 80% of the current and outstanding preferred shares, (which are converted to common shares strictly for voting rights purposes only and are calculated by multiplying the number of current outstanding preferred and common shares times four (4)) and the outstanding preferred and common shares for voting purposes only; thus, combined with the 706,392,313 issued and outstanding shares of common stock and outstanding preferred shares, there would be a total of 3,531,961,565 voting capital shares of which 2,825,569,252 have voted in favor of the action. Pursuant to Rule 14c-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the corporate actions described in this Notice can be taken no sooner than 20 calendar days after the accompanying Information Statement is first sent or given to the Company’s stockholders. Since the accompanying Information Statement is first being sent or given to security holders on or about December 1, 2014 to the corporate action described therein may be effective on or after December 22, 2014.

 

Please review the Information Statement included with this Notice for a more complete description of this matter. This Information Statement is being sent to you for informational purposes only.

 

WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT
TO SEND US A PROXY.

 

The actions to be effective twenty days after the mailing of this Information Statement are as follows:

 

Ratification of the increase of the authorized shares of common stock of the Company from one billion five hundred million (1,500,000,000) to nine billion (9,000,000,000), $0.0001 par value effective as of the filing of amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation with the Wyoming Secretary of State.

 

The increase in the authorized shares described in the accompanying Information Statement has been duly authorized and approved by the written consent of the holders of a majority of the voting capital shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding voting securities, your vote or consent is not requested or required. The accompanying Information Statement is provided solely for your information. The accompanying Information Statement also serves as the notice required by the Section 17-16-724 of the Wyoming Statutes of the taking of a corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent of the Company’s stockholders.

The elimination of the need for a meeting of stockholders to approve this action is made possible by Wyoming Statutes which provides that the written consent of the holders of outstanding shares of voting capital stock, having not less than the minimum number of votes which would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted, may be substituted for such a meeting. In order to eliminate the costs involved in holding a special meeting of our stockholders, our Board of Directors voted to utilize the written consent of the holders of a majority in interest of our voting securities. This Information Statement is circulated to advise the shareholders of action already approved by written consent of the shareholders who collectively hold a majority of the voting power of our capital stock.

 

THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995 PROVIDES A “SAFE HARBOR” FOR FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS. This Information Statement contains statements that are not historical facts. These statements are called “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These statements involve important known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors and can be identified by phrases using “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “project,” “expect,” “intend,” “predict,” “potential,” “future,” “may,” “should” and similar expressions or words. Our future results, performance or achievements may differ materially from the results, performance or achievements discussed in the forward-looking statements. There are numerous factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in forward-looking statements, including:

 

 

·

Changes in relationships and market for the development of the business of the Company that would affect our earnings and financial position.

     
 

·

Considerable financial uncertainties that could impact the profitability of our business.

     
 

·

Factors that we have discussed in previous public reports and other documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

This list provides examples of factors that could affect the results described by forward-looking statements contained in this Information Statement. However, this list is not intended to be exhaustive; many other factors could impact our business and it is impossible to predict with any accuracy which factors could result in which negative impacts. Although we believe that the forward-looking statements contained in this Information Statement are reasonable, we cannot provide you with any guarantee that the anticipated results will be achieved. All forward-looking statements in this Information Statement are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained in this section and you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained in this Information Statement. In addition to the risks listed above, other risks may arise in the future, and we disclaim any obligation to update information contained in any forward-looking statement.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Information Statement contains certain forward-looking statements regarding management’s plans and objectives for future operations including plans and objectives relating to our planned marketing efforts and future economic performance. The forward-looking statements and associated risks set forth in the registration statement include or relate to, among other things, acceptance of our proposed services and the products we expect to market, our ability to establish a customer base, managements’ ability to raise capital in the future, the retention of key employees and changes in the regulation of our industry. These statements may be found under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Description of Business,” as well as in the registration statement generally. Actual events or results may differ materially from those discussed in forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, without limitation, the risks outlined under “Risk Factors” and matters described in the registration statement generally. In light of these risks and uncertainties, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements contained in the registration statement will in fact occur.

 

The forward-looking statements herein are based on current expectations that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Such forward-looking statements are based on assumptions described herein. The assumptions are based on judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions, and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond our control. Accordingly, although we believe that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, any such assumption could prove to be inaccurate and therefore there can be no assurance that the results contemplated in forward-looking statements will be realized. In addition, as disclosed elsewhere in the “Risk Factors” section of the registration statement, there are a number of other risks inherent in our business and operations which could cause our operating results to vary markedly and adversely from prior results or the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Management decisions, including budgeting, are subjective in many respects and periodic revisions must be made to reflect actual conditions and business developments, the impact of which may cause us to alter marketing, capital investment and other expenditures, which may also materially adversely affect our results of operations. In light of significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking information included in the registration statement, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that our objectives or plans will be achieved.

 

Any statement in the registration statement that is not a statement of an historical fact constitutes a “forward-looking statement”. Further, when we use the words “may”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “plan”, “believe”, “seek”, “estimate”, “internal”, and similar words, we intend to identify statements and expressions that may be forward- looking statements. We believe it is important to communicate certain of our expectations to our investors. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. They involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause our future results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. Many factors are beyond our ability to control or predict. You are accordingly cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. Important factors that may cause our actual results to differ from such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the risks outlined under “Risk Factors” herein. The reader is cautioned that our company does not have a policy of updating or revising forward-looking statements and thus the reader should not assume that silence by management of our company over time means that actual events are bearing out as estimated in such forward-looking statements.

 

Corporate History and Business

 

StrikeForce Technologies, Inc. is a software development and services company that offers a suite of integrated computer network security products using proprietary technology. StrikeForce Technical Services Corporation was incorporated in August 2001 under the laws of the State of New Jersey. On September 3, 2004, the stockholders approved an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to change the name to StrikeForce Technologies, Inc. On November 15, 2010, we redomiciled under the laws of the State of Wyoming. We initially conducted operations as an integrator and reseller of computer hardware and telecommunications equipment and services until December 2002. In December 2002, and formally memorialized in September 2003, we acquired certain intellectual property rights and patent pending technology from NetLabs.com, Inc. (“NetLabs”) including the rights to further develop and sell their principal technology. In addition, certain officers of NetLabs joined our company as officers and directors of our company. We subsequently changed our name to StrikeForce Technologies, Inc., under which we have conducted our business since August 2003. Our ongoing strategy is developing and marketing our suite of network security products to the corporate, financial, healthcare, legal, government, technology, insurance, e-commerce and consumer sectors. We plan to continue to grow our business primarily through our globally expanding sales channel and internally generated sales, rather than by acquisitions. We have no subsidiaries and we conduct our operations from our corporate office in Edison, New Jersey.

We began our operations in 2001 as a reseller and integrator of computer hardware and iris biometric technology. From the time we started our operations through the first half of 2003, we derived the majority of our revenues as an integrator. In December 2002, upon the acquisition of the licensing rights to certain intellectual property and patent pending technology from NetLabs, we shifted the focus of our business to developing and marketing our own suite of security products. Based upon our acquired licensing rights and additional research and development, we have developed various identification protection software products to protect computer networks from unauthorized access and to protect network owners and users from identity theft.

 

In November 2010, we received notice that the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) had issued an official Notice of Allowance for the patent application for the technology relating to our ProtectID® product, titled "Multi-Channel Device Utilizing a Centralized Out-of-Band Authentication System". In January 2011, we received notice that the USPTO issued to us Patent No. 7,870,599. This “Out-of-Band” Patent went through a USPTO Re-Examination process starting on August 16, 2011 and concluded on December 27, 2011, with all of our patent claims remaining intact and eight additional patent claims being added. Since 2011, we submitted additional continuation patents on the “Out-of-Band” Patent, with a current approximate of sixty additional Company claims resulting from two additional patents granted and a fourth pending. The keystroke encryption technology we developed and use in our GuardedID® product is protected by two patents and one continuation pending.

 

In January 2013, we were assigned the entire right, title and interest in and to the “Out-of-Band Patent” from NetLabs, with the agreement of the developer, and the assignment was recorded with the USPTO.

 

In February 2013, we executed a retainer agreement with our patent attorneys to aggressively enforce our patent rights as “Out-of-Band Authentication” is becoming the standard for authenticating consumers in the financial market. In February 2013, our patent attorneys submitted a new “Out-of-Band” Patent continuation, which has been granted.

 

In March 2013, our patent attorneys submitted a new “Methods and Apparatus for securing user input in a mobile device” Patent, which is now patent pending. Our MobileTrust® product is the invention supporting the patent pending.

 

In July 2013, we received notice that the USPTO had added 54 additional patent claims for our Out-of-Band patent we received in January 2011, by issuing to us Patent No. 8,484,698 thereby strengthening our position with clients and our current and potential lawsuits.

 

In October 2013, we received notice that the USPTO issued to us Patent No. 8,566,608 “Methods and apparatus for securing keystrokes from being intercepted between the keyboard and a browser.” This protects our GuardedID® product and the keystroke encryption portion of our MobileTrust® products.

 

In February 2014, we received a Notice of Allowance from the USPTO for our third patent relating to our "Multi-Channel Device Utilizing a Centralized Out-of-Band Authentication System" Patent No. 7,870,599. Upon receipt of this patent we filed another continuation patent.

 

In March 2014, we received Notice of Allowance from the USPTO for our second patent and first continuation of our Keystroke Encryption patent, which only furthers our protection for all mobile devices when utilizing any keyboard for data entry. Upon receipt of this Notice, we also filed another continuation patent for Patent No. 8,566,608.

 

In April 2014, we were granted our third patent relating to our “Multi-Channel Device Utilizing a Centralized Out-of-Band Authentication System” Patent No. 8,713,701.

 

In September 2014, we filed an International Patent for MobileTrust® (PCT/US20114/029905).

We completed the development of our ProtectID® platform at the end of June 2006, we completed the core development of our keyboard encryption and anti-keylogger product, GuardedID®, in December 2006 and commenced deployment of our new mobile product, MobileTrust® into the mobile stores in 2014, of which the first two are currently being sold and distributed. Our suite of products is targeted to the financial, e-commerce, corporate, government, healthcare, legal, insurance, technology and retail sectors. We seek to locate customers in a variety of ways. These primarily include contracts with value added resellers and distributors (both inside the United States and internationally), direct sales calls initiated by our internal staff, exhibitions at security and technology trade shows, through the media, through consulting agreements, and through our agent relationships. Our sales generate revenue either as an Original Equipment Manufacturer (“OEM”) model, through a Hosting/License agreement, bundled with other company’s products or through direct purchase by distributors and resellers. We price our products for cloud consumer transactions based on the number of transactions in which our software products are utilized. We also price our products for business applications based on the number of users. These pricing models provide our company with one-time, monthly, quarterly and annual recurring revenues with volume discounts. We are also generating revenues from annual maintenance contracts, renewal fees and expect, but cannot guarantee, an increase in revenues based upon the execution of various agreements that we have recently concluded and are being implemented during the fourth quarter of 2014, primarily in the retail and insurance sectors.

 

We generated all of our revenues of $248,249 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to $367,579 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, from the sales of our security products. The decrease in revenues was primarily due to the decrease in the sales of our GuardedID® keyboard encryption (anti-keylogger) technology relating to our initiated litigation with one of our channel partners, WhiteSky, Inc. ("WhiteSky"), as well as delays in realizing revenues from some of our new distributor’s clients, and in delayed rollout of our new mobile security technologies, now anticipated to roll out through the Apple and Android markets during the fourth quarter of 2014. In addition, we rolled out our GuardedID® MAC version that is expected, but not guaranteed, to increase our revenues during the fourth quarter of 2014 and thereafter. Therefore, we see strong opportunities for increased sales through the rest of 2014 and beyond. Additionally, we believe we have opportunities through our sales distribution channels, including current pilots, which we believe should increase revenues in the fourth quarter of 2014 and throughout 2015, especially with the addition of our new mobile security products and new multi-marketing partners.

 

We market our products globally to financial service firms, healthcare related companies, legal services companies, e-commerce companies, gaming, automotive, government agencies, multi-level marketing groups, the enterprise market in general, and with virtual private network companies, as well as technology service companies and retail distributors that service all the above markets. We seek such sales through our own direct efforts, through distributors, resellers and third party agents internationally. We are also seeking to license the technology as original equipment with computer hardware and software manufacturers. We are engaged in multiple production installations and pilot projects with various distributors, resellers and direct customers primarily in the United States. Our GuardedID® product is also being sold directly to consumers, primarily through the Internet as well as distributors, resellers, third party agents, affiliates and potential OEM agreements by bundling GuardedID® with their products (providing a value-add and competitive advantage to their own products and offerings). Currently this is the most active market for us with multiple programs in pre-production and some already in production. We anticipate increases in revenues in the fourth quarter of 2014 from these programs. In addition, we have completed the development and testing our new mobile products, MobileTrust® and GuardedID® Mobile Software Development Kit (SDK), which is currently completed and being prepared for sales in mobile online stores in the fourth quarter of 2014, upon completion of our new sCloud registration process. The mobile products play a major role in our anticipated, but not guaranteed, fourth quarter 2014 revenue projections, and also beyond 2014. Although no assurances can be provided that revenues will increase as anticipated, our GuardedID® MAC version, recently rolled out, is another reason for our anticipated, but not guaranteed, projected increase in revenues during the fourth quarter of 2014.

 

We have incurred substantial losses since our inception. Our management believes that our products provide a cost-effective, more secure and technologically competitive solution to address the problems of cyber security and data breaches in general, especially when considering our new mobile applications. Considering recent public announcements by Symantec and other media sources that anti-virus solutions barely protect against the new malware threats, primarily keylogging malware, our keystroke encryption patented products are becoming more important, especially in the healthcare and retail markets. However, there can be no assurance that our products will continue to gain increased acceptance and continue to grow in the commercial and retail marketplaces or that one of our competitors will not introduce technically superior products.

 

Our executive office is located at 1090 King Georges Post Road, Suite 603, Edison, NJ 08837. Our telephone number is (732) 661-9641. We have 6 employees. Our Company’s website is www.strikeforcetech.com.

Our Products

 

StrikeForce is a software development and services company. We own and are seeking to commercially exploit various identification protection software products that were developed to protect computer networks from unauthorized access, real time, and to protect network owners and users from cyber security attacks and data breaches. Our principal products ProtectID®, GuardedID®, inclusive of our unique CryptoColor® technology and MobileTrust® are proprietary authentication and keystroke encryption technologies that are intended to eliminate unauthorized access to computer networks and all mobile devices and to prevent unauthorized individuals from copying (logging) keystrokes. We are expanding the market for our suite of products in the financial services, e-commerce, corporate, healthcare, government and consumer sectors. Our cyber security products are as follows:

 

 

·

ProtectID® is our multi-patented authentication platform that uses “Out-of-Band” multi-factor in-house installation, cloud service technology and a hybrid to authenticate computer network users by a variety of methods including traditional passwords combined with a telephone, iPhone, Droid, Blackberry, PDA, or multiple computer secure sessions, biometric identification and encrypted devices such as tokens or smartcards as examples. The authentication procedure separates authentication information such as usernames from the pin/passwords or biometric information, which are then provided to or from the network’s host server across separate communication channels. The platform allows for corporate control and client choices, per their company’s security policies, which evolves over time with newly available and customer requested technologies. (Patent Nos:7,870,599 and 8,484,698, and two patents pending for Out-of-Band Authentication)

 

 

·

GuardedID® creates a 256-bit AES encrypted real time separate pathway for information delivery from a keyboard to a targeted application on a local computer, preventing the use of spyware/malware to collect user information. This product provides keyboard encryption and helps prevent keylogging from occurring in real time, which helps prevent the number one threat to consumers and businesses in today’s market: keylogging software, which is stealth software embedded in web sites, emails, pictures, MP3 files, videos, USB’s or other software and hardware that, once unknowingly launched, secretly monitors and records all of a user's keystrokes on the computer and sends the data to the cyber thief without the user’s awareness. Keylogging has been reported as the one of the major causes of major data breaches that occurred from2010 to 2013, as reported in the 2010-2013 Verizon Data Breach Reports. (Patent No: 8,566,608 and two patents pending).

 

 

·

MobileTrust® is an advanced iPhone/iPad and Android device password vault that includes a strong password generator. MobileTrust® also provides for Mobile Multi-Factor One Time Password authentication, a secured browser and keystroke encryption between its virtual keyboard and secured browser, which is critical to all confidential online transactions and other features, which is now in final Beta. This new feature for mobile devices, which helps prevent data breaches and stolen credentials is a critical and vital addition to all enterprise mobile users, as enterprises transition to “Bring Your Own Devices” (BYOD). (Patent Pending)

 

 

·

GuardedID® Mobile SDK is a software development kit that provides developers our patent protected keystroke encryption protection for all Apple and Android mobile device’s secure keyboards, allowing our keystroke encryption software to be embedded in any mobile applications, utilizing DES 256 Encryption.

 

Our products sometimes include software and hardware that we contractually license from other vendors. These products include VASCO (an authentication and e-signature solutions company) tokens, as well as additional authentication and telecommunication software devices. ProtectID® also uses a software product for its Voice Biometric Out-of-Band method through a partnership with Trade Harbor.

 

The ProtectID® Cloud Service can be hosted by our service provider (we have a strategic arrangement with a third party SAS70 hosting service) as well as the ProtectID® Out-of-Band and Multi-Factor Platform, which can be installed internally in a customer’s infrastructure or as a hybrid implementation. With the exception of our free redistributable Microsoft software components, our reseller agreement with VASCO and our partnership with Trade Harbor, none of our contracts for hardware or software are with a sole supplier of that feature or product.

 

Factors that are considered important to our success include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

 

·

Our products address the needs of a broad variety of customers for authentication and cyber security overall. One of the biggest problems facing the world is Cyber Theft, the effects of which, our management contends, total an estimated $221 billion per year in business losses and more currently stated to be in the trillions going forward.

 

 

·

Symantec reported that they noted that there are over 401 million new pieces of Spyware found over the past year.

 

 

·

CU Info Security reported in August 2012 that a $14 million fraud scheme shuttered credit unions and commented that experts say trust overshadowed due diligence.

 

 

·

48% of all data breaches in 2011 were caused by key loggers (malware copying keystrokes), as reported by the Verizon 2012 Data Breach Report. Similar percentages are reported in the Verizon 2013 report, recently published. All of the companies breached, per these reports, had an anti-virus program installed.

 

 

·

In 2011, it was reported that RSA Security was breached in late 2011 from which Lockheed Martin and others were affected and lost millions of dollars. This event caused many companies to look to other means of two-factor authentication, such as Out-of-Band. The RSA Data Breach started with a keylogging virus which our GuardedID® product most likely would have prevented.

·

In February 2013, Computerworld reported that the Federal Government has slapped security on the frontline of IT agendas with its announcement of a new cyber security center in Canberra and an additional $1.46 billion in funding for cyber security as part of a new national security blueprint.

 

 

·

In respect to the latest version of our keyboard encryption and anti-keylogger Product, GuardedID®, a recent report from a government security group known as CERT states that minimally 80% of the malicious keylogging programs are undetected by the major anti-virus software suites. However, the Guarded ID(R) is designed to render the malicious programs useless, in real time.

The Effectiveness of Our Products: Our products have been designed to provide, we believe, a high available level of security for computer networks and individual users. In particular, we believe that the now Patented “Out-of-Band” authentication process is an innovative technology that will greatly prevent unauthorized access to computer networks and will provide effective security products to drastically reduce the incidence of identity fraud for our customers. We have contractually commenced implementation of our products on a large global scale, yet there can be no assurance that they will function in all aspects as intended. Likewise, a high level of innovation characterizes the software industry and there can be no assurance that our competitors will not develop and introduce a superior product. The effective functioning of our products once deployed is an important factor in our future success. To date and our knowledge, all of our clients have reported, per a report by Research 2.0, that our products work as described.

Ability to Integrate our Software with Customer Environments: There are numerous operating systems that are used by computer networks. The ability of a software product to integrate with multiple operating systems is likely to be a significant factor in customer acceptance of particular products. StrikeForce’s ProtectID® operates on an independent Cloud Service platform and is also able to integrate with multiple operating systems and user interfaces for an in-house implementation. ProtectID® has been designed to use multiple authentication devices that are currently on the market (including, but not limited to, biometrics, key-fob tokens, iPhones, iPads, Blackberrys, Androids, PDA’s, smart cards and other mobile devices). Our ability to integrate our products with multiple existing and future technologies is currently a key factor in the growth of our product’s acceptance and is demonstrated by our success with recent clients and installations referred to in a number of our 2013 press releases. Our GuardedID® product currently operates with Windows Internet Explorer (IE) and Firefox web browsers and our upgraded Premium version works with almost all applications running on a Windows desktop platform, inclusive of Microsoft Office. New features and functions for both products continue to be developed via our research and development, as well as the ability to operate on other technology platforms, such as Apple. We are Beta testing our GuardedID® MAC version, as of April 2014, with projected production deployment in late 2014. We are also in final Beta testing with our MobileTrust® and GuardedID® Mobile SDK products, with production anticipated within a few months.

 

 

·

Relative Cost: We have attempted to design our products to provide a cost-effective suite of products for financial services, e-commerce, commercial, healthcare, government and direct-consumer customers. Our ability to offer our products at a competitive price and to add to existing installations is likely in our opinion, to be a key factor in the acceptance of our product as we have seen with many of our clients.

 

Business Model

 

We are focusing primarily on developing sales through “channel” relationships in which our products are offered by other manufacturers, distributors, value-added resellers and agents, internationally. In 2013, we added and publicly announced additions to our global distribution sales channel, which provides additional presence for us in the United States, Canada, Europe and Africa. We continue to add additional channel partners, especially on the consumer side. We also sell our suite of security products directly from our Edison, New Jersey office, which also augments our channel partner relationships. It is our strategy that these “channel” relationships will provide the greater percentage of our revenues ongoing, as was the case in the past two years. Examples of the channel relationships that we are seeking include already established original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) and bundled relationships with other security technology and software providers that would integrate or bundle the enhanced security capabilities of ProtectID®, GuardedID® and/or MobileTrust® into their own product lines, thereby providing greater value to their clients. These would include providers of networking software and manufacturers of computer and telecommunications hardware and software that provide managed services, and multi-level marketing groups, as well as all markets interested in increasing the value of their products and packages, such as financial services software, anti-virus, government integrators and identity theft product companies. We anticipate, but cannot guarantee, announcing a new and formative distribution partners during the fourth quarter of 2014.

From our MobileTrust® security new mobile application, which is now completed and with our sCloud registration process in production, we have created and announced two new products: our new ProtectID® Mobile OTP (One Time Password) to be used with ProtectID®; and our new GuardedID® Mobile keystroke encryption software development kit (SDK). We anticipate that both new products will be in production during the fourth quarter of 2014 or early 2015. With the creation of this new GuardedID® Mobile SDK, we intend to focus the sales of this software product to the development groups of our target markets to be added to their mobile applications. Management has already received requests for this software, including for mobile devices, as keystroke encryption malware continues to grow and remain a major problem for the cyber security market. Particularly, in management’s estimation, with anti-virus products being seen as non-effective against malware threats.

 

Our primary target markets include financial services such as banks and insurance companies, healthcare providers, legal services, government agencies through integrators, technology platforms, e-commerce based services companies, telecommunications and cellular carriers, technology software companies, government agencies and consumers, especially for our mobile and keystroke encryptions products. We are focusing our concentration on cyber security and data breach strategic problem areas, such as where compliance with financial, healthcare, legal and government regulations are key and stolen passwords are used to acquire private information illegally. We executed a multi-year contract with a healthcare facility who utilizes our ProtectID® solution for its employees and administrators. The contract became revenue producing in the first quarter of 2012 for a three year auto-renewable term. During the second half of 2012, we signed on additional distributors and resellers from which we started to generate revenues in 2013 and 2014, as they commenced implementing their sales strategies for our products. In the fourth quarter of 2013, a number of our channel partners had pilots and client implementations in place that are expected, although no assurances can be provided, to increase our revenues in the fourth quarter of 2014 and primarily in 2015. With our mobile products commencing production in the fourth quarter of 2014, we anticipate, but cannot guarantee, increased revenues in the fourth quarter of 2014 and into 2015.There is no guarantee as to the timing and success of these efforts.

 

Because we are now experiencing a continual, recurring growing market demand especially in the mobility and encryption markets, we continue to develop an increasing global reseller and distribution channel as a strategy to generate, manage and fulfill demand for our products across market segments, minimizing the requirement for an increase in our staff. We continue to minimize the concentration on our initial direct sales efforts as our distribution and reseller channels continue to grow internationally and providing appropriate levels of sales and support in the growing Cyber Security market.

 

We seek to generate revenue through fees for ProtectID® based on client consumer usage in the financial, healthcare services and legal services markets, as well as enterprises in general, through our Cloud Service, plus one-time and annual per person fees in the enterprise markets which often are for in-house installations of our products, and set-up and recurring transaction fees when the product is accessed in our Cloud Service, along with annual maintenance fees, and other one-time and recurring fees. We also intend to generate revenues through sales of our GuardedID® product. GuardedID® pricing is for an annual license and we discount for volume purchases. GuardedID® pricing models, especially when bundling through OEM contracts, include monthly and quarterly recurring revenues. As more agreements are reached by our distributors, we are experiencing monthly increasing sales growth, through the execution of GuardedID® bundled OEM agreements. We also provide our clients a choice of operating our ProtectID® software internally by licensing it or through our hosted Cloud Service or a hybrid that some clients have implemented and none of our competitors presently offer. GuardedID® requires a download on each and every computer it protects, whether for employees or consumers. We have four GuardedID® products, (i) a standard version which protects browser data entry only, (ii) a premium version which protects almost all the applications running under Microsoft Windows on the desktop, including Microsoft Office Suite and almost all applications running on the desktop, (iii) an Enterprise version which, in addition, provides the Enterprise administrative rights and the use of Microsoft’s Enterprise tools for the product’s deployment and (iv) an Apple MAC version for all the latest MAC operating systems and for the browsers and entire desktop. Our new MobileTrust® mobile product will be priced for the consumer through the appropriate mobile phone stores, as well as direct, distribution and OEM sales for higher volume enterprises, including volume discounts to the degree allowed by the telecommunications providers. Our new GuardedID® Mobile SDK (software development kit) will be priced on an annual recurring fee based on volume and number of users or an enterprise plus maintenance price. We anticipate, but can provide no assurances, that these new product offerings will result in the largest number of sales and related revenues for us in the fourth quarter of 2014 and throughout 2015.

 

Our management believes that our products provide a cost-effective and technologically competitive solution to address the increasing problems of network security and identity theft in general. Updated guidance for the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (“FFIEC”) regulations include the requirement for solutions that have Two-Factor Out-of-Band Authentication and products that stop keylogging malware, real time, which our management believes our proprietary products uniquely and directly address. This new updated guidance went into effect as of January 1, 2012. Additionally, the 2013 Verizon Data Breach report, published in April 2013, stated that 80% of all the data breaches they reported would not have occurred if the corporations used two factor authentication, such as our ProtectID® system. The report also indicates that over 79% of the data breaches would most likely not have occurred if the corporations breached used anti-keylogging software, other than the typical anti-virus programs. Based on the FFIEC requirement in the latest FFIEC update that was published in June 2011 (being enforced as of January 2012) the latest Verizon Data Breach Report and the new articles from the White House urging law firms and legal services firms to add two factor authentication, we have recently experienced a growing increase in pilots and sales orders and inquiries specifically in the financial and legal markets. In January 2014, PCI Compliance published an update that includes the requirement for not only encrypting data at rest, but also to encrypt data in motion including the keystrokes users enter in their device. Additionally, Symantec's senior vice-president for information security, Brian Dye, told the Wall Street Journalthat anti-virus "is dead", in an article published in May 2014. However, there can be no assurance that our products will continue to gain acceptance and continue to grow in the commercial marketplace or that one of our competitors will not introduce technically superior products.

Marketing

 

Our multi-channel marketing strategy includes:

 

1.

Direct sales to enterprise and commercial customers. In this effort, we attend the RSA Security Show annually as well as other security related shows and we are looking at other inside sales alternatives in order to respond aggressively to inquiries relating to our products.

 

 

2.

The global addition of resellers, agents & distributors (our strategic sales channel) who distribute and resell our products and services to enterprise and commercial customers globally (technology and software product distributors, systems integrators, managed service companies, other security technology and software vendors, telecom companies, identity theft related product companies, etc.).

 

 

3.

Application Service Provider (ASP) Partners: Our certified SAS 70 third party service provides a hosting platform that facilitates faster implementations at competitive prices for our Cloud Service option.

 

 

4.

Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM): SFT products are sold to other security technology vendors that integrate ProtectID® and GuardedID® and now GuardedID® Mobile SDK into their products (bundling) and services providing for monthly/annual increasing recurring revenues or other models as the SDK is intended to enter the market during the fourth quarter of 2014 or early 2015.

 

 

5.

Internet sites that sell GuardedID® to consumers and small enterprises, such as affiliates.

 

 

6.

Technology and other providers and resellers, agents and distributors interested in purchasing and or selling our new MobileTrust® cyber solution for all mobile devices, initially for all Apple and Android devices, that will be in production during the fourth quarter of 2014.

 

 

7.

Outside Independent consultants selling our products for commission only, focusing on the healthcare, legal and consumer markets.

 

Our sCloud service provider is Hosting.com and we have been under contract with them since December 2007 when we executed an agreement with a nationwide premier data center and co-location services provider who functions as an Application Service Provider for our ProtectID® and GuardedID® products, which require a secondary server used for the “Out-of-Band” two-factor authentication technology. We believe that this relationship improves the implementation time, reduces the cost and training requirements, and allows for ease of scalability, with hot backups in multiple locations across the U.S., on an as needed basis. Our sCloud site is also SAS 70 (Statement on Auditing Standards (SAS) No. 70) certified, which is critical to providing a secure compliant service that is required by most of our clients. Our agreement with the services provider was for a one-year (1) term, initially ending in December 2008 and renewing automatically for one-year (1) terms, and is still in effect. The relationship can be terminated by either party on sixty days written notice. The cloud service is compensated by our company based on a flat monthly fee per the terms of the contract that can increase as we require additional services.

 

Intellectual Property

 

We are working with our patent attorneys to aggressively enforce our patent rights per the terms of a retainer agreement executed in February 2013. Our patent attorneys also filed third and fourth “Out of Band” continuation patents. The third patent was recently granted and the fourth patent is pending. We currently have three patents granted to us for Out-of-Band (Patent Nos.: 7,870,599, 8,484,698 and 8,713,701). In September 2014, we filed an International Patent for MobileTrust® (PCT/US20114/029905).

 

We are also working with our patent attorneys to plan our strategy to aggressively enforce our patent rights relating to our newly granted Keystroke Encryption patent that helps protect our GuardedID® and MobileTrust® products. We were granted our first related keystroke encryption patent and were granted our second keystroke encryption patent. Our patent attorneys also filed a third Keystroke Encryption continuation patent which is now pending (Patent Nos.: 8,566,608 and 8,732,483).

 

We have four trademarks that have been approved and registered: ProtectID®, GuardedID®, MobileTrust® and CryptoColor®. A portion of our software is licensed from third parties and the remainder is developed by our own team of developers while leveraging some external consultant expertise as necessitated. We rely upon confidentiality agreements signed by our employees, consultants and third parties to protect the intellectual property rights.

 

We license technology from third parties, including software that is integrated with internally developed software and used in our products to perform key functions. We anticipate that we will continue to license technology from third parties in the future. Although we are not substantially dependent on any individual licensed technology, some of the software that we license from third parties could be difficult for us to replace. The effective implementation of our products depends upon the successful operation of third-party licensed products in conjunction with our suite of products, and therefore any undetected errors in these licensed products could create delays in the implementation of our products, impair the functionality of our products, delay new product introductions, damage our reputation, and/or cause us to provide substitute products.

Business Strategy

 

We could incur significant additional costs before we become profitable. We anticipate that most of the costs that we incur will be related to salaries, professional fees, marketing, sales and research & design. We have increased our sales efforts by retaining a consultant, and we have increased our technology staff by contracting an outsourced firm. Our operations presently require funding of approximately $110,000 per month. We expect that our monthly cash usage for operations will increase slightly due to contracted and anticipated increased volumes and adding some targeted marketing programs. We anticipate that the areas in which we will experience the greatest increase in operating expenses is in marketing, selling, product support, product research and new technology development in the growing cyber security market. In 2013, we added one new sales consultant working in specific markets and for the most part on a commission base only. We are committed to maintaining our current level of operating costs until we reach the level of revenues needed to absorb any potential increase in costs.

 

Our primary strategy during the last quarter of 2013 and continuing throughout 2014 was to focus on the growth and support of our channel partners, including distributors, resellers and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), along with our newly signed sales consultant. Our internal sales team targets potential direct sales in industries that management believes provides the greatest potential for short term sales. These include small to medium sized financial institutions, government agencies, e-commerce, healthcare, legal and enterprise businesses. We are also executing agreements with strategic resellers and distributors for marketing, selling and supporting our products internationally. We primarily work with distributors, resellers and agents to generate the bulk of our sales internationally, realizing that this strategy takes longer to nurture, however it is progressing well. We are starting to realize positive results, however slowly, with our sales channel and look forward to a very successful remainder of 2014 through the sales channel and from our new mobile and GuardedID® MAC products with a concentration of sales already contracted for the fourth quarter of 2014 and fiscal 2015. There can be no assurances, however, that we will succeed in implementing our sales strategy. Although management believes that there is an increasingly strong market for our products as the need for cyber security solutions increases globally, as supported by the RSA Security Show responses we received in February 2014, we have not generated substantial revenue from the sale of our products and there is no assurance we can secure a market sufficient to permit us to achieve profitability in the next twelve months.

 

Competition

 

 The software development and services market is characterized by innovation and competition. There are several well-established companies within the authentication market that offer network security systems in our product market and newer companies with emerging technologies. We believe that our multi-patented “Out-of-Band” multi-factor identity authentication platform is an innovative, secure, adaptable, competitively priced, integrated network authentication platform. The main features of ProtectID® include: an open architecture “Out-of-Band” platform for user authentication; operating system independence; biometric layering; mobile authentication; secure website logon; Virtual Private Network (“VPN”) access; domain authentication; newly added Office 365 authentication and multi-level authentication. Unlike other techniques for increased network security, ProtectID® does not rely on a specific authentication device or method (e.g., phone, tokens, smart cards, digital certificates or biometrics, such as a retinal or fingerprint scan). Rather ProtectID® has been developed as an “open platform” that incorporates an unlimited number of authentication devices and methods. For example, once a user has been identified to a computer network, a system deploying our ProtectID® authentication system permits the “Out-of-Band” authentication of that user by a telephone, iPhone, iPad, Blackberry, PDA, email, hard token, SSL client software, a biometric device such as a voice biometric, or others, before that user is permitted to access the network. By using “Out-of-Band” authentication methods, management believes that ProtectID®, now patented and protected through our ongoing litigation, with plans for additional litigation, provides a competitive product for customers with security requirements greater than typical name and password schemes for virtual private networks and computer systems with multiple users at remote locations, as examples. We also believe that our multi-patented keystroke encryption product, GuardedID®, offers an additional competitive edge for network security and e-commerce applications that should provide greater levels of security and the ability to evolve over time based on newer technologies when made available. There is less competition for the keystroke encryption product and there are no well-established companies in this space, which explains our current growth in pilots and sales for GuardedID®, especially relating to bundled channel partner programs. GuardedID® is critical to help prevent key logging viruses, one of the largest sources of cyber attacks and data breaches. GuardedID® also is protected with two patents and one pending. Our newest product, MobileTrust®, is ideal for bringing the functionality of our other two products, especially including keystroke encryption, to all mobile devices, with initial focus on all Apple and Android devices. This product is also protected with a patent pending and some of its features and functions are covered by the Out-of-Band Authentication and Keystroke Encryption patents. Our other new mobile product is GuardedID® Mobile SDK, which allows our secured keyboard function as a software development kit for developers to purchase and integrate as part of their secured applications. Considering the features and functions, all of our cyber solutions have limited competition based on our products’ ability to protect individual identities and computers/devices against some of the most dangerous and increasing threats. We also have great demand for the mobile products, which are being marketed to all potential new clients.

 

Although we believe that our suite of products offer competitive advantages, there is no assurance that any of these products will continue to increase its market share in the marketplace. Our competitors include established software and hardware companies that are likely to be better financed and to have established sales channels. Due to the high level of innovation in the software development industry, it is also possible that a competitor will introduce a product that provides a higher level of security than our products or which can be offered at prices that are more advantageous to the customer.

Employees

 

As of the interim period ended September 30, 2014, the Company had 6 employees. We believe relations with employees are generally good.

 

DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

 

We operate from leased offices located at 1090 King Georges Post Road, Suite #603, Edison, New Jersey 08837. We do not hold any material investments in other real or personal property other than office equipment. We anticipate these facilities will be adequate for the immediate future but that if we are successful in introducing our products, we will need to seek larger or additional office quarters. We pay a monthly base rent of $3,807 which commenced on July 1, 2009 through the extended lease termination date of January 31, 2016. The lease does not contain a renewal option and requires us to pay costs such as maintenance and insurance.

 

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

 

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition is based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. When preparing our financial statements, we make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, along with the amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Significant estimates include, but are not limited to, the estimated useful lives of property and equipment and website development costs. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Results of Operations

 

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2014 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2013

 

Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2014 were $77,837 compared to $179,408 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, a decrease of $101,571 or 56.6%. The decrease in revenues was primarily due to the decrease in the sales of our GuardedID® keyboard encryption (anti-keylogger) technology relating to our initiated litigation with one of our channel partners, WhiteSky, Inc. ("WhiteSky"). We have opportunities, through our sales channels, including current pilots, that we expect, but cannot guarantee, will continue to increase revenues in the fourth quarter of 2014, especially in the retail market through the engagement of new distributors.

 

Revenues generated consisted of hardware and software sales, services and maintenance sales, revenue from sign on fees, and recurring transaction revenues. Hardware sales for the three months ended September 30, 2014 were $208 compared to $365 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, a decrease of $157. The decrease in hardware revenues was primarily due to the decrease in our sales of our one-time-password token key-fobs. Software, services and maintenance sales for the three months ended September 30, 2014 were $77,629 compared to $179,043 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, a decrease of $101,414. The decrease in software, services and maintenance revenues was primarily due to the decrease in the sales of our GuardedID® keyboard encryption (anti-keylogger) technology relating to our initiated litigation with one of our channel partners, WhiteSky, Inc. ("WhiteSky").

 

Cost of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was $836 compared to $5,308 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, a decrease of $4,472, or 84.3%. The decrease resulted primarily from the decrease in processing fees relating to our ProtectID® product. Cost of revenues as a percentage of total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was 1.1% compared to 3.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The decrease resulted primarily from the decrease in processing fees.

 

Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was $77,001 compared to $174,100 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, a decrease of $97,099, or 55.8%. The decrease in gross profit was primarily due to the decrease in the sales of our GuardedID® keyboard encryption (anti-keylogger) technology relating to our initiated litigation with one of our channel partners, WhiteSky, Inc. ("WhiteSky").

The increase in our net loss was due primarily to the overall decrease in our total revenues, the increase in SGA expenses and the increase in other expenses caused by increases in the change in fair value of derivative liabilities and in interest expense.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our total current assets at September 30, 2014 were $198,654, which included cash of $136,956, as compared with $78,300 in total current assets at December 31, 2013, which included cash of $7,559. Additionally, we had a stockholders’ deficit in the amount of $11,938,430 at September 30, 2014 compared to a stockholders’ deficit of $11,013,902 at December 31, 2013. We have historically incurred recurring losses and have financed our operations through loans, principally from affiliated parties such as our directors, and from the proceeds of debt and equity financing. The liabilities include a computed liability for the fair value of derivatives of $1,397,808, which will only be realized on the conversion of the derivatives, or settlement of the debentures.

 

We financed our operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 primarily through the issuance of debt in the aggregate amount of $818,750, through recurring revenues from our ProtectID® and GuardedID® technologies in the aggregate amount of $241,818, and through the sales of our shares of Series B Preferred Stock in the aggregate amount of $213,000. Management anticipates that we will continue to rely on equity and debt financing, at least for 2014 and early 2015, to finance our operations. While management believes that there will be a substantial percentage of our sales generated from our GuardedID® and new mobile products and there are an increasing number of customers for our patented ProtectID® product, we will continue to have customer concentrations. Inherently, as time progresses and corporate exposure in the market continues to grow, with increasing marketing efforts, management believes, but cannot guarantee, we will continue to attain greater numbers of customers and the concentrations could decrease over time and we project, but cannot guarantee, to be cash flow positive by the end of 2014 or early 2015. Until this is accomplished, management will continue to attempt to secure additional financing through both the public and private market sectors to meet our continuing commitments of expenditures and until our sales revenue can provide greater liquidity.

 

Our number of common shares outstanding increased from 2,317,797 shares at the year ended December 31, 2013 to 111,169,000 at the nine months ended September 30, 2014, an increase of 4,696%. The increase in the number of common shares outstanding was due to common shares issued related to the issuance, conversion and settlement of debt or equity financing and consulting obligations, which, consequently, helped to reduce our outstanding debentures.

 

Our number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued and outstanding increased from 0 shares at the year ended December 31, 2013 to 142,004 at the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The increase in the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued and outstanding was due to the sale of shares of Series B Preferred Stock, through subscription agreements, related to equity financing.

 

We have historically incurred losses and we anticipate, but cannot guarantee, that we will not generate any significant revenues until the fourth quarter of 2014 or early 2015. Our operations presently require funding of approximately $110,000 per month. Management believes, but cannot provide assurances, that we will be cash flow positive by the end of 2014, or shortly thereafter, based on recently executed and announced contracts and potential contracts that we anticipate closing throughout 2014 in the financial industry, technology, insurance, enterprise, healthcare, government, legal, and consumer sectors in the United States, Latin America, Europe, Africa and the Pacific Rim. There can be no assurance, however, that the sales anticipated will materialize or that we will achieve the profitability we have forecasted. Management also recognizes the consequences of the current world economic developments and the possible volatile effect on currency rates resulting from revenues derived from foreign markets.

Decrease in Authorized Shares

 

In February 2014, a 1,500:1 reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock was ratified, effective upon the filing of an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation with the Wyoming Secretary of State. The amendment was adopted in March 2014.

 

All shares and per share amounts in this filing have been adjusted to give retroactive effect to the 1:1,500 reverse stock split.

 

In February 2014, a decrease of the authorized shares of our common stock from six billion seven hundred fifty million (6,750,000,000) to one billion, five hundred million (1,500,000,000), $0.0001 par value, was ratified, effective upon the filing of an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation with the Wyoming Secretary of State. The amendment was adopted in March 2014.

 

Preferred Stock

 

On October 21, 2010, we amended our Articles of Incorporation in New Jersey to authorize 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.10. The designations, rights, and preferences of such preferred stock are to be determined by the Board of Directors. On November 15, 2010, we changed our domicile from the state of New Jersey to the state of Wyoming.

 

In addition to the 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock authorized, on January 10, 2011, 100 shares of preferred stock were designated as Series A Preferred Stock and 100,000,000 shares were designated as Series B Preferred Stock. The bylaws under the Wyoming Incorporation were amended to reflect the rights and preferences of each additional new designation.

 

The Series A Preferred Stock collectively has voting rights equal to eighty percent of the total current issued and outstanding shares of common stock. If at least one share of Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding, the aggregate shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have voting rights equal to the number of shares of common stock equal to four times the sum of the total number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding, plus the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock (or other designated preferred stock) which are issued and outstanding.

 

In February 2011, we issued three shares of non-convertible Series A preferred stock valued at $329,000 per share, or $987,000 in aggregate, for voting purposes only, to the three members of our management team at one share each. The issued and outstanding shares of the Series A preferred stock have voting rights equal to eighty percent of the total issued and outstanding shares of the our common stock. This effectively provided them, upon retention of their Series A Preferred Stock, voting control on matters presented to our shareholders. They have each irrevocably waived their conversion rights relating to the Series A preferred shares issued.

 

The Series B Preferred Stock shall have preferential liquidation rights in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, such liquidation rights to be paid from our assets not delegated to parties with greater priority at $1.00 per share or, in the event an aggregate subscription by a single subscriber of the Series B Preferred Stock is greater than $100,000,000, $0.997 per share. The Series B Preferred Stock shall be convertible to a number of shares of common stock equal to the price of the Series B Preferred Stock divided by the par value of the Series B Preferred Stock, par value $0.10. The option to convert the shares of Series B Preferred Stock may not be exercised until three months following the issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock to the recipient shareholder. The Series B Preferred Stock has ten votes on matters presented to our shareholders for one share of Series B Preferred Stock held. The initial price of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be $2.50, (subject to adjustment by our Board of Directors) until such time, if ever, the Series B Preferred Stock are listed on a secondary and/or public exchange. As of December 31, 2013, no shares of Series B Preferred Stock had been issued.

 

In February 2014, our Board of Directors amended the initial price for the Series B Preferred Stock from $2.50 to $1.50 per share. Our Board of Directors also amended the conversion feature of the Series B Preferred Stock, to convertible common shares $0.0001 par value, to convert at a 40% market discount to current market value at the time we receive a conversion request. Current market value is defined as the average of the immediately prior five trading day's closing prices. Additionally, when Series B Preferred Stock shares convert to our common stock, the minimum price discount floor level is set at $0.005, as decided by our Board of Directors. As of September 30, 2014, there were 142,004 shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.

 

All of the above offerings and sales, except the afore-mentioned shares issued pursuant to a conversion of convertible notes, were made in reliance upon the exemption from registration under Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933 and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, based on the following: (a) the investors confirmed to us that they were “accredited investors,” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933 and had such background, education and experience in financial and business matters as to be able to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the securities; (b) there was no public offering or general solicitation with respect to the offering; (c) the investors were provided with certain disclosure materials and all other information requested with respect to our company; (d) where applicable, the investors acknowledged that all securities being purchased were “restricted securities” for purposes of the Securities Act of 1933, and agreed to transfer such securities only in a transaction registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or exempt from registration under the Securities Act; and (e) where applicable, a legend was placed on the certificates representing each such security stating that it was restricted and could only be transferred if subsequent registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or transferred in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933.

SUMMARY OF OUR OUTSTANDING SECURED CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES

 

At September 30, 2014, $542,588 in aggregate principal amount of the DART Limited ("DART"), custodian for Citco Global Custody NV (“Citco Global”) as of July 2012, debentures, as assigned by YA Global and Highgate in April 2009, were issued and outstanding.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, DART had no conversions.

 

The DART secured convertible debentures are fully matured. We have been in contact with the note holder who has indicated that it has no present intention of exercising its right to convert the debentures into restricted shares of our common stock. The note holder has advised us that it currently is willing to wait until it receives a buyout offer from us. 

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we issued unsecured convertible notes in an aggregate total of $768,750 to eight unrelated parties pursuant to the terms and conditions of term sheets executed with investor firms at various times during the first and second quarters of 2014. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we settled and transferred $145,000 of unsecured note balances, plus accrued interest of $114,919, to three unrelated parties in the form of seven convertible notes for $266,151. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we settled and transferred $80,000 of unsecured convertible note balances, plus accrued interest of $1,500, to two unrelated parties in the form of two convertible notes for $81,500. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, eleven investor firms converted $686,965 of convertible notes, $21,381 of accrued interest and $6,159 in legal fees, into 108,819,570 shares of our common stock, pursuant to an exemption provided under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933. The conversion prices ranged from $0.001566 per share to $0.1112 per share.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we issued an unsecured note in an aggregate total of $50,000 to one unrelated party.

Based on present revenues and expenses, we are unable to generate sufficient funds internally to sustain our current operations. We must raise additional capital or determine other borrowing sources to continue our operations. It is management’s plan to seek additional funding through the sale of common and preferred series B stock, the sale and settlement of trade payables and debentures, and the issuance of notes and debentures, including notes and debentures convertible into common stock. If we issue additional shares of common stock, the value of shares of existing stockholders is likely to be diluted.

 

However, the terms of the convertible secured debentures issued to certain of the existing stockholders require that we obtain the consent of such stockholders prior to our entering into subsequent financing arrangements. No assurance can be given that we will be able to obtain additional financing, that we will be able to obtain additional financing on terms that are favorable to us or that the holders of the secured debentures will provide their consent to permit us to enter into subsequent financing arrangements.

 

Our future revenues and profits, if any, will primarily depend upon our ability, and that of our distributors and resellers, to secure sales of our suite of network security and anti-malware products. We do not presently generate significant revenue from the sales of our products. Although management believes that our products are competitive for customers seeking a high level of network security, we cannot forecast with any reasonable certainty whether our products will gain acceptance in the marketplace and if so by when.

 

Except for the limitations imposed upon us respective to the convertible secured debentures of DART (custodian for Citco Global and as assigned by YA Global and Highgate House Funds, Ltd.), there are no material or known trends that will restrict either short term or long-term liquidity.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, result of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.

 

Going Concern

 

The Report of Our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm Contains Explanatory Language That Substantial Doubt Exists About Our Ability To Continue As A Going Concern

 

Our unaudited financial statements for the interim period ended September 30, 2014 have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.

 

As reflected in the unaudited financial statements for the interim period ended September 30, 2014, we had a working capital deficiency of $11,789,134 and deficit in stockholders’ equity of $11,938,430 at September 30, 2014, and a net loss of $2,571,847 and net cash used in operating activities of $898,538 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Currently, management is attempting to increase revenues. In principle, we are focusing on domestic and international channel sales, where we are primarily selling through our well-developed sales channel including Distributors, Value Added Resellers, Strategic Partners and Original Equipment Manufacturers. While we believe in the viability of our strategy to increase revenues and in our ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to continually increase our customer base and realize increased revenues from recently signed contracts.

 

The financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

The closing bid price for our shares of common stock on April 1, 2014 was $0.1530.

 

Our common stock is considered a low priced security under the “Penny Stock” rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Under these rules, broker-dealers participating in transactions in these securities must first deliver a risk disclosure document which describes risks associated with these stocks, broker-dealers’ duties, customers’ rights and remedies, market and other information, and make suitability determinations approving the customers for these stock transactions based on financial situation, investment experience and objectives. Broker-dealers must also disclose these restrictions in writing, provide monthly account statements to customers, and obtain specific written consent of each customer. With these restrictions, the likely effect of designation as a low priced stock is to decrease the willingness of broker-dealers to make a market for the stock, to decrease the liquidity of the stock and increase the transaction cost of sales and purchases of these stocks compared to other securities.

HOLDERS

 

As of April 1, 2014, there were approximately 421 holders of the common stock on record with our transfer agent (several holders of record are brokerage firms often through CEDE & Co., which handle accounts for individual investors).

 

DIVIDENDS

 

We have not previously paid any cash dividends on common stock and do not anticipate or contemplate paying dividends on common stock in the foreseeable future. Our present intention is to utilize all available funds to develop and expand our business. The only restrictions that limit the ability to pay dividends on common equity, or that are likely to do so in the future, are those restrictions imposed by law and those restrictions imposed under contractual obligation. Under Wyoming corporate law, no dividends or other distributions may be made which would render a company insolvent or reduce assets to less than the sum of liabilities plus the amount needed to satisfy outstanding liquidation preferences.

 

Any future determination to pay cash dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors, and will be dependent upon our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and other factors as our board may deem relevant at that time.

Directors need not be our stockholders or residents of the State of Wyoming. Directors are elected for an annual term and generally hold office until the next Directors have been duly elected and qualified. A vacancy on the Board may be filled by the remaining Directors even though less than a quorum remains. A Director appointed to fill a vacancy remains a Director until his successor is elected by the Stockholders at the next annual meeting of Shareholder or until a special meeting is called to elect Directors.

 

Our executive officers are appointed by the Board of Directors.

 

During fiscal 2013, our Board of Directors met twenty four times. The Board of Directors also uses resolutions in writing to deal with certain matters and, during fiscal 2013 sixty-three written resolutions were signed by a majority of the Directors.

 

Compensation of Directors

 

Our bylaws provide that, unless otherwise restricted by our certificate of incorporation, our Board of Directors has the authority to fix the compensation of directors. The directors may be paid their expenses, if any, related to attendance at each meeting of the board of directors and may be paid a fixed sum for attendance at each meeting of the board of directors or a stated salary as our director. Our bylaws further provide that no such payment will preclude any director from serving our company in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefore. Further, members of special or standing committees may be given compensation for attending committee meetings.

 

 
22

  

Committees

 

We have two committees: the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee. At this time, there are no members of either Committee and the Board of Directors performs the acts of the Committees. None of our current directors are deemed “independent” directors as that term is used by the national stock exchanges or have the requisite public company accounting background or expertise to be considered an “audit committee financial expert” as that term is defined under Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

It is anticipated that the principal functions of the Audit Committee will be to recommend the annual appointment of our auditors, the scope of the audit and the results of their examination, to review and approve any material accounting policy changes affecting our operating results and to review our internal control procedures.

 

It is anticipated that the Compensation Committee will develop a Company-wide program covering all employees and that the goals of such program will be to attract, maintain, and motivate our employees. It is further anticipated that one of the aspects of the program will be to link an employee’s compensation to his or her performance, and that the grant of stock options or other awards related to the price of the common shares will be used in order to make an employee’s compensation consistent with shareholders’ gains. It is expected that salaries will be set competitively relative to the technology development industry and that individual experience and performance will be considered in setting salaries.

 

At present, executive and director compensation matters are determined by a majority vote of the board of directors.

 

We do not have a nominating committee. Historically our entire Board has selected nominees for election as directors. The Board believes this process has worked well thus far particularly since it has been the Board's practice to require unanimity of Board members with respect to the selection of director nominees. In determining whether to elect a director or to nominate any person for election by our stockholders, the Board assesses the appropriate size of the Board of Directors, consistent with our bylaws, and whether any vacancies on the Board are expected due to retirement or otherwise. If vacancies are anticipated, or otherwise arise, the Board will consider various potential candidates to fill each vacancy. Candidates may come to the attention of the Board through a variety of sources, including from current members of the Board, stockholders, or other persons. The Board of Directors has not yet had the occasion to, but will, consider properly submitted proposed nominations by stockholders who are not our directors, officers, or employees on the same basis as candidates proposed by any other person.

 

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

 

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than ten percent (10%) of our outstanding Common Stock, or the Reporting Persons, to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership on Form 3 and reports of changes in ownership of Common Stock on Forms 4 or 5. Such persons are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all such reports they file. Based solely on a review of Forms 3 and 4 furnished to us by the Reporting Persons or prepared on behalf of the Reporting Persons by the Company, the Company believes that the Reporting Persons have not complied with reporting requirements applicable to them.

 

Code of Ethics.

 

We have adopted a code of ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. Our code of ethics contains standards that are reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:

 

 

·

Honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;

 

 

·

Full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that we file with, or submits to, the Commission and in other public communications made by us;

 

 

·

Compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;

 

 

·

The prompt internal reporting of violations of the code to the board of directors or another appropriate person or persons; and

 

 

·

Accountability for adherence to the code.

 

 
23

 

Indemnification of Officers and Directors

 

As permitted by Wyoming law, our Articles of Incorporation provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers against expenses and liabilities they incur to defend, settle, or satisfy any civil or criminal action brought against them on account of their being or having been our directors or officers unless, in any such action, they are adjudged to have acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

Pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in that Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

 

Stockholder Communications with the Board

 

Stockholders who wish to communicate with the Board of Directors should send their communications to the Chairman of the Board at the address listed below. The Chairman of the Board is responsible for forwarding communications to the appropriate Board members.

Common Stock

 

In February 2014, a 1,500:1 reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock was ratified, effective upon the filing of an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation with the Wyoming Secretary of State. The amendment was adopted in March 2014.

 

All shares and per share amounts in this filing have been adjusted to give retroactive effect to the 1:1,500 reverse stock split.

 

In February 2014, a decrease of the authorized shares of our common stock from six billion seven hundred fifty million (6,750,000,000) to one billion, five hundred million (1,500,000,000), $0.0001 par value, was ratified, effective upon the filing of an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation with the Wyoming Secretary of State. The amendment was adopted in March 2014.

 

Preferred Stock

 

On October 21, 2010, we amended our Articles of Incorporation in New Jersey to authorize 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.10. The designations, rights, and preferences of such preferred stock are to be determined by the Board of Directors. On November 15, 2010, we changed our domicile from the state of New Jersey to the state of Wyoming.

 

In addition to the 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock authorized, on January 10, 2011, 100 shares of preferred stock were designated as Series A Preferred Stock and 100,000,000 shares were designated as Series B Preferred Stock. The bylaws under the Wyoming Incorporation were amended to reflect the rights and preferences of each additional new designation.

 

The Series A Preferred Stock collectively has voting rights equal to eighty percent of the total current issued and outstanding shares of common stock. If at least one share of Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding, the aggregate shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have voting rights equal to the number of shares of common stock equal to four times the sum of the total number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding, plus the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock (or other designated preferred stock) which are issued and outstanding.

 

In February 2011, we issued three shares of non-convertible Series A preferred stock valued at $329,000 per share, or $987,000 in aggregate, for voting purposes only, to the three members of our management team at one share each. The issued and outstanding shares of the Series A preferred stock have voting rights equal to eighty percent of the total issued and outstanding shares of the our common stock. This effectively provided them, upon retention of their Series A Preferred Stock, voting control on matters presented to our shareholders. They have each irrevocably waived their conversion rights relating to the Series A preferred shares issued.

 

The Series B Preferred Stock shall have preferential liquidation rights in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, such liquidation rights to be paid from our assets not delegated to parties with greater priority at $1.00 per share or, in the event an aggregate subscription by a single subscriber of the Series B Preferred Stock is greater than $100,000,000, $0.997 per share. The Series B Preferred Stock shall be convertible to a number of shares of common stock equal to the price of the Series B Preferred Stock divided by the par value of the Series B Preferred Stock, par value $0.10. The option to convert the shares of Series B Preferred Stock may not be exercised until three months following the issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock to the recipient shareholder. The Series B Preferred Stock has ten votes on matters presented to our shareholders for one share of Series B Preferred Stock held. The initial price of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be $2.50, (subject to adjustment by our Board of Directors) until such time, if ever, the Series B Preferred Stock are listed on a secondary and/or public exchange. As of December 31, 2013, no shares of Series B Preferred Stock had been issued.

In February 2014, our Board of Directors amended the initial price for the Series B Preferred Stock from $2.50 to $1.50 per share. Our Board of Directors also amended the conversion feature of the Series B Preferred Stock, to convertible common shares $0.0001 par value, to convert at a 40% market discount to current market value at the time we receive a conversion request. Current market value is defined as the average of the immediately prior five trading day's closing prices. Additionally, when Series B Preferred Stock shares convert to our common stock, the minimum price discount floor level is set at $0.005, as decided by our Board of Directors. As of September 30, 2014, there were 142,004 shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.

 

All of the above offerings and sales, except the afore-mentioned shares issued pursuant to a conversion of convertible notes, were made in reliance upon the exemption from registration under Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933 and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, based on the following: (a) the investors confirmed to us that they were “accredited investors,” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933 and had such background, education and experience in financial and business matters as to be able to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the securities; (b) there was no public offering or general solicitation with respect to the offering; (c) the investors were provided with certain disclosure materials and all other information requested with respect to our company; (d) where applicable, the investors acknowledged that all securities being purchased were “restricted securities” for purposes of the Securities Act of 1933, and agreed to transfer such securities only in a transaction registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or exempt from registration under the Securities Act; and (e) where applicable, a legend was placed on the certificates representing each such security stating that it was restricted and could only be transferred if subsequent registered under the Securities Act of 1933or transferred in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933.

INCREASE IN AUTHORIZED COMMON SHARES 

 

Material Terms, Potential Risks And Principal Effects Of The Increase of Authorized Common Share

 

Our Board of Directors and the consenting majority stockholders have adopted and approved resolutions and an amendment to the Articles Of Incorporation to effect an increase of the number of common shares of the Company that the Company may issue are increased from one billion five hundred million (1,500,000,000) to nine billion (9,000,000,000), The Board of Directors and the consenting majority stockholders believe that the Increase in Authorized common shares is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders because the increase in the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock would enable the Company, without further stockholder approval, to issue shares from time to time as may be required for proper business purposes, such as providing for reserves that are often required when and if necessary to raise additional capital for ongoing operations, business and asset acquisitions, present and future employee benefit programs and other corporate purposes as we make every effort to become cash flow positive. Management believes this increase is needed (in addition to shares needed for proper business purposes) since management has estimated (since many convertible securities have variable conversion rates) that if all convertible securities were converted to common stock (even if not vested or convertible at this time), the result would be a possible issuance of approximately 5,274,000,000 shares, as of November 17, 2014.

 

The increase in the authorized number of shares of Common Stock could have a number of effects on the Company's stockholders depending upon the exact nature and circumstances of any actual issuances of authorized but unissued shares. The increase could have an anti-takeover effect, in that additional shares could be issued (within the limits imposed by applicable law) in one or more transactions that could make a change in control or takeover of the Company more difficult. For example, additional shares could be issued by the Company so as to dilute the stock ownership or voting rights of persons seeking to obtain control of the Company, even if the persons seeking to obtain control of the Company offer an above-market premium that is favored by a majority of the independent shareholders. Similarly, the issuance of additional shares to certain persons allied with the Company's management could have the effect of making it more difficult to remove the Company's current management by diluting the stock ownership or voting rights of persons seeking to cause such removal. The Board is not aware of any attempt, or contemplated attempt, to acquire control of the Company, and this action is not being presented with the intent that it be utilized as a type of anti-takeover device.

 

Stockholders should recognize that, as a result of this proposal, they will own a fewer percentage of shares with respect to the total authorized shares of the Company, than they presently own, and will be diluted as a result of any issuances contemplated and potentially executed by the Company in the future.

 

There are currently no plans, arrangements, commitments or understandings for the issuance of the additional shares of Common Stock which are proposed to be authorized.
